Chapter 249: Heading to Fish-Man Island
"Pursue the Germa fleet and wipe them out completely!"
Capone Bege glanced over and said flatly.
"Yes, Godfather!"
One of his subordinates answered.
Wooo—
The horn sounded.
…
Several hundred meters away.
"Father…"
Inside the castle of the Germa Kingdom, five small, slender figures were holding binoculars and watching the scene. They cried out in unison.
Two of them were already in tears, while the other three boys watched coldly, their eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Miss, young masters, we must leave—now!"
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a combat suit rushed in and said urgently.
"Uncle Gaiyong, Father, he—"
Vinsmoke Reiju looked at the man with reddened eyes.
Vinsmoke Gaiyong glanced at the fleet that was already closing in. There was no time to explain. He quickly scooped them up and ran forward.
An hour later.
The sea was littered with shattered wreckage.
"Godfather, all targets eliminated."
A subordinate returned to Capone Bege's side aboard the Mafia fleet and reported in a low voice.
"Mm. Turn back."
A flash of excitement passed through Capone Bege's eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
This time, the Mafia family did not engage in boarding combat, so there were no casualties.
Before long, the Mafia fleet departed, leaving behind only a field of wreckage to testify that the Germa Kingdom had once existed.
After they left—
Beneath this ruined stretch of sea, a special vessel slowly surfaced from below.
Buzz!
The iron plating encasing the ship opened, revealing the people inside: the five children of the Vinsmoke family, along with Gaiyong, the deputy leader of the Vinsmoke family.
"Reiju, I want you to remember them. They are the enemies who destroyed the Vinsmoke family—the enemies who killed your father!"
Gaiyong's eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
Now, Reiju was the hope of the Vinsmoke family.
As for the other four—one had not obtained a superhuman physique, and the other three had lost their emotions. Only Reiju possessed both.
"Yes, Uncle Gaiyong. I will definitely avenge Father!"
Reiju, with short pink hair, delicate features, curled eyebrows, and gem-blue eyes filled with tears, nodded her small head firmly.
"We're leaving this place!"
With that, Vinsmoke Gaiyong departed into the sea, carrying with him the legacy of the Vinsmoke family.
...
Sabaody Archipelago.
"Captain, we're ready to depart."
Franky wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran over, saying excitedly.
He had just finished the major coating job on the Dragon Flame with his teacher Tom. It had left him feeling insanely proud—an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
"Mm." Jiang Qize smiled and nodded.
"Let's go."
"Set sail!"
Camon shouted, and the Dragon Flame immediately began to move.
Before long, the Dragon Flame reached the side of the Red Line.
Boom!
Underwater, the Canglong transformed into a lava giant and suddenly grabbed the Dragon Flame, yanking it downward.
A massive splash erupted.
The Dragon Flame deployed its waterproof coating and plunged into the sea.
Afterward, Canglong reverted to his dinosaur form, lifting the Dragon Flame on his head as he charged toward the deep sea.
"The ocean… it's so dark!"
As the Dragon Flame descended deeper and deeper, there was barely any light left. Darkness surrounded them.
But the Dragon Flame had its own light source. The lights were switched on, instantly illuminating the surroundings.
"Moo~"
A long, distant cry echoed through the deep sea.
Buzz—
A massive shadow swam toward the Dragon Flame.
A surge of golden Conqueror's Haki burst from Jiang Qize and swept across the surrounding waters.
"Moo~"
The giant Sea King was intimidated by the wave of Conqueror's Haki. After letting out another cry, it immediately turned and fled.
