One Piece...

Lyle hadn't heard this term in so long.

Since the great savior of the world, the head of the New World Government, that unnamed sage, ended the pirate era, this term has never appeared again.

No, it's not that it never happened; those low-level pirates who didn't know their own mortality were also making noise, but he never took it seriously.

But for some reason, Lyle was stunned when the bald man asked that question.

It wasn't the reflection from his shiny bald head that made him look like he was bathed in light that stunned people, but rather the expression on his face when he asked the question that inexplicably...stunned them.

Having guarded this place for so many years and encountered so many pirates, only this person could make Lyle Lyle feel somewhat shocked.

Pirates!

Not the kind of petty pirates who only think about robbing, but true pirates who have specific goals and will do anything to achieve them, even if it means turning the world upside down!

Such a person...

He doesn't know him!

Lyle didn't have this bald man in his mind's eye as one of the bounty hunters, meaning he wasn't a pirate...

He turned his gaze and quickly noticed that not far away, three people were also staring at the bald man. Their gazes were definitely not those of strangers and they exuded an unusual aura.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Victoria and the others saw the gentleman navy appear before them, raising a gust of wind that lifted Victoria's hood.

"It's you..."

Lyle spoke calmly: "Victoria, the 'Puppeteer,' a pirate with a bounty of twenty million, has such a high bounty on her first attempt. She's a dangerous person, so..."

He reached out and grabbed at the girl.

"You've got some nerve, daring to head straight into Loguetown. Let's capture you first."

Click!

laugh!

The sounds of a knife being drawn, the air being sliced, and a gun being cocked all rang out in unison.

Lyle frowned, his outstretched hand pausing. Just a little distance in front of his fingers, a glimmer of light appeared—a thread so sharp it could glow in the air.

As the silk threads appeared, two blades of light appeared beside his neck, causing Lyle's body to shift to the side.

Bang!

As he turned to the side, his head snapped to the side, and with a muffled thud, a bullet grazed his cheek.

A trickle of blood fell from his clean cheek.

His usually polite face suddenly darkened.

Lyle's gaze shifted downwards, and he saw two knives at his neck, the tips of which could pierce his skin with a slight movement. Victoria's fingers were spread wide, while the little boy pulled out a gun, the muzzle still emitting smoke.

“Don’t underestimate us!” Victoria shouted.

when!

Lyle knocked the blade off his neck, and at the same time, his legs flew up, kicking out a pale blue slash that pressed down on the three of them.

"Storm Kick!"

laugh!

As the slash appeared, two blade beams swiftly cleaved vertically, shattering the attack of the Tempest Kick.

As Seaa maintained her slashing stance, her body suddenly swirled around as her twin blades fell, causing them to rotate upwards and slash powerfully at Lyle.

when!

The sharp blade was blocked by Lyle's bent leg with a crisp sound.

But as he blocked the attack, Lyle's expression changed, and he lost his balance, staggering backward.

This female swordsman is incredibly strong...

Bang!

Then suddenly, gunshots rang out. Lyle couldn't react in time, his head snapped back, and his body was about to fall backward.

Mimir's gun began to smoke again, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Hey!” Victoria exclaimed in surprise.

“Since we’ve already started fighting, we can’t hold back, otherwise we won’t be able to leave!” Mimir said seriously.

Victoria pursed her lips. "Killing a colonel...that'll create a mess..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lyle, who was falling, spun in the air and landed steadily.

The white top hat fell to the ground.

He stood up, and a dark line appeared on his forehead, a bullet wound, on his gloomy face.

"How could this be..."

Mimir murmured, "Is it domineering?"

They all know what domineering aura is after years of education, but without sufficient strength, no one can truly see what it looks like.

The fact that one can withstand bullets and swords with just their bare body can only be explained by sheer power.

"Mere pirates..."

Lyle spat out the words through clenched teeth, his face terribly grim.

He never imagined he would end up in such a sorry state.

Since he took up his post in Loguetown, when has he ever been so humiliated?!

"You lot..."

His body began to swell outwards, and white hair grew on the exposed skin. In that instant, all three of them tensed up.

Ability person!

Like Victoria, he is also a person with special abilities, but it is unknown what those abilities are.

Bang bang bang!!

Just then, a barrage of gunfire erupted from behind.

The group of sailors, guns at their feet, collectively pulled the triggers and fired a volley of bullets.

Some of the bullets also hit the bald man who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Noah frantically covered his body and screamed. Several bullets hit his shiny bald head, and the sparks made his bald head shine even brighter, making it difficult for the navy to open their eyes.

The remaining bullets aimed at Victoria and the others were deflected by Seaa's charge forward, her twin blades pressing down and creating a gust of wind.
