Tian Qi had no idea what Mihawk and the others were thinking. At that moment, Tian Qi used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to quickly arrive at Hancock's location. Sure enough, a group of Marines were surrounding Hancock, and what was infuriating was that Hancock had many wounds on her body.
"I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just all bark and no bite. Looks like I'm going to take down the first pirate crew I conquer today!" The mole smiled as he looked at the woman who was putting up a tough fight. At first, he thought she was pretty strong, but as the battle progressed, he realized that she was only as strong as a colonel, and he could easily crush her.
"Lord Tianqi, I never thought I was still so useless. I couldn't even stop the enemy. I guess I'll have to be your crew member in my next life!" Watching the mole approach her with a knife, and with no strength left to resist, Hancock closed her eyes in despair. A vice admiral was simply not someone she could contend with.
"Dare to oppose the righteous Navy, you'll have a hard time being a human in your next life, let alone a pirate!" The mole shook his head slightly and was about to capture the female pirate.
However, just then, a whooshing sound came from the air, and a weapon flew directly towards the mole. The mole, who was on guard, immediately raised his knife to defend, but the powerful force of the flying weapon still knocked him away in an instant.
Seeing the familiar weapon in front of her, Hancock immediately smiled. This weapon belonged to Captain Tianqi. He had come to rescue her. However, Hancock's feelings were complicated. Although she was happy that the captain had come to rescue her, it also meant that they would be completely surrounded by the Navy. It seemed that things would not end well today.
"Hancock, you were too impulsive this time. If you can't even see your own strength, then there's nothing to talk about in the future. With your strength, turning around and running away from a vice admiral is the best choice. Running away is not shameful; what's shameful is not seeing yourself clearly, do you understand?" Tian Qi landed in front of Hancock and said calmly.
"Snap! Snap!"
Upon seeing someone suddenly appear, the surrounding navy immediately loaded their guns, ready to fire hundreds of bullets at once and riddle Tianqi with holes should he dare to act recklessly.
"I understand, Lord Tianqi, but if I encounter this situation again, I still won't run away. It's worth sacrificing myself to conquer the pirate crew!" Although what she said made a lot of sense, Hancock would still make the same choice for Lord Tianqi even if it happened again. Her slave life was saved by Tianqi, and it was worth sacrificing everything for Tianqi.
"Wrong! As my comrade, I, Uchiha Tianqi, would never sacrifice my comrade to save my own life. That's my bottom line!" Tianqi shook his head and rejected Hancock's actions. In this world, loyalty is paramount, and he, Uchiha Tianqi, could never abandon his comrades.
"Heaven...Heaven...Lord Tianqi!" Upon hearing this, Hancock's eyes lit up with love. Following such a captain made her feel incredibly safe.
Tianqi then raised his right hand and activated his healing ninjutsu, enveloping Hancock in green healing energy. Instantly, Hancock's wounds were completely healed, and if it weren't for the remaining bloodstains, it would be impossible to tell that she had been injured.
"Don't underestimate me, Captain. Abandoning our comrades is completely unnecessary. They're so trashy, they're not worth our time to run away from!" Tian Qi slowly walked over to the navy in front of him.
"Attack! Shoot! Kill him!" Seeing that Tianqi was about to make a move, a colonel shouted loudly. Uchiha Tianqi's fearsome reputation had already spread throughout the Marine Headquarters. Not to mention a colonel like him, even rear admirals and vice admirals were terrified of Uchiha Tianqi. This was the deterrent power of an admiral-level expert.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
The marines opened fire instantly, firing hundreds of bullets at Tianqi. It has to be said that this kind of attack was really boring. Any pirate with a little strength was not afraid of bullets. Of course, that was only a small number of bullets. A large number of bullets would be quite difficult to deal with. However, bullets were meaningless to Tianqi.
"Annihilation!" Tian Qi raised his hand and activated the power of time. In an instant, the bullet was corroded and disappeared. The marines were also eroded by the power of time in astonished eyes, aging rapidly and then falling down and turning into dust and disappearing completely.
Of course, two colonels were still alive. Tianqi always left a few people behind to spread the word about his terrifying strength. When these two colonels saw that Uchiha Tianqi had killed hundreds of marines with just a slight wave of his hand, leaving no trace of their bodies, they had no intention of resisting at all. They were so frightened that they fled in a frenzy.
The mole wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Seeing that his subordinates were gone and he was the only one left, he became anxious. Uchiha Tenki was very powerful. If the Sengoku generals didn't arrive, he was afraid he would die here today.
"Uchiha Tenchi, you'd better not make another mistake. If you stop resisting now, you still have a chance to survive. If you continue to fight the Navy, you will not have a good end!" As Zephyr's disciple, Mole would not go so far as to kill him, which is not much different from his mentor Zephyr's approach.
"A good ending? Hahaha... This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. My fate is in my own hands. You are not enough to judge me!" Tianqi laughed loudly and walked towards the mole.
As Uchiha Tenki walked towards him, the mole gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, as if only this could give him a sense of security, but the way he stepped back showed that Tenki was putting a lot of pressure on him.
Tianqi wielded the Tianzongyun Sword, his sword intent rapidly condensing onto the blade. With the experience of fighting against Ryūta Ryōma, Tianqi became increasingly adept at using swordsmanship.
"A great swordsman! How could this be!" The mole was also a master swordsman, and he immediately recognized that this was an ability that only a great swordsman could use. He immediately unleashed his own sword intent, hoping to block the attack.
"King's Double Sword Dance!" Two streams of sword intent energy were rapidly unleashed, rushing towards the mole.
This move was inspired by Tianqi's battle with Ryūta Ryōma. It is a new move developed using his own speed and sword intent energy, in which he quickly swings the Heavenly Cloud Sword twice in an instant, simultaneously unleashing two bursts of sword intent energy.
"boom!"
"Ah! How can there be such a big difference!" The mole, who was trying to fight back, was sent flying by the double energy in an instant. It was in that instant that he realized that he and Uchiha Tenki were not on the same level at all. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth. It can't be said that the mole was weak, it can only be said that Tenki was too strong.
Hancock's eyes widened in shock. The vice admiral she couldn't even budge with all her might had been defeated in a single move. Lord Tianqi was simply too amazing. At the same time, Hancock realized that her captain had become even stronger.
"Can't even withstand one move, a Marine Vice Admiral is nothing special!" Tian Qi glanced at the fallen Mole, but didn't kill him. He could tell that Mole had held back against Hancock. With Vice Admiral Mole's strength, killing Hancock would have been too easy, but he didn't kill him. In this case, Tian Qi spared his life.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tianqi, I've caused you trouble again..." Hancock looked remorseful as the battle ended.
If she hadn't gone out to sell things today, she wouldn't have attracted the Navy's attention. She killed hundreds of Navy personnel today, so it's likely that Tianqi's bounty will increase again. The Navy will definitely keep pursuing Tianqi relentlessly from now on, and the culprit behind all of this is Hancock, so she feels very guilty.
"Don't say anything stupid. As the captain, I will definitely protect the crew. And when I rescued you from the Sabaody Archipelago, I decided to stand against the Navy. Those Navy people wearing the cloak of justice don't deserve the word 'justice' at all!" Tianqi comforted him slowly.
Tianqi also had great disdain for the hypocrites in the navy. The fact that they openly bought and sold slaves made him very unhappy. It was one thing to buy and sell criminals, but he couldn't stand the fact that innocent people like Hancock were also being bought and sold.
Without saying anything more, Tianqi immediately led Hancock toward the place where the Conqueror was docked. However, when they arrived, instead of Shanks and Hancock waiting for them to set sail, they saw more than a dozen warships surrounding the Conqueror, with a large number of navy personnel pointing their guns at Shanks and Hancock.
