One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 233 One-Handed Suppression

This demonstrates his strength.

"Uh?"

Just then, Kira was startled. He keenly sensed that something was wrong with X Drake, with whom he was engaged in a fierce battle.

X Drake's gaze didn't seem to be fully focused on the battle in front of him. Instead, he kept glancing behind him, as if something there was attracting all of his attention.

An ominous premonition instantly welled up in Kira's heart.

It must be understood that on such a tense and fierce battlefield where life and death are at stake, any side that dares to be distracted is tantamount to courting death.

Unless... a terrifying being far more powerful than him is quietly emerging behind him!

It was precisely because he sensed that powerful, suffocating aura that X Drake had to divert some of his attention to deal with it.

In the blink of an eye, just as Kira realized the situation was dire, X. Drake suddenly unleashed an even more violent and terrifying power without warning.

This force, like a surging torrent, swept towards Kira with overwhelming force.

Caught off guard, Kira felt an irresistible force slam into him, forcibly knocking him back.

After falling backward for a good seven or eight meters, Kira stomped his right foot backward.

With a dull thud, the solid ground collapsed instantly, creating a deep crater beneath his foot. Using the immense force of the impact, Kira finally managed to stop himself.

However, although he managed to stabilize his body.

Through their brief exchange, he clearly realized that X. Drake was indeed slightly superior to him in terms of pure strength.

However, this advantage wasn't particularly obvious, since although he was knocked back, X Drake was clearly not doing well either...

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

X Drake skillfully used the recoil from the force that had just knocked Kira back, his leg muscles tensing suddenly and then releasing like springs compressed to their limit. With a powerful push from his feet, he leaped high backward like a cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, X Drake landed steadily twenty or thirty meters away from where he had been standing.

However, X Drake's deep, ocean-like eyes merely gazed intently behind him, as if trying to see through the endless darkness to uncover the secrets hidden within.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away as fast as the wind, without looking back.

No, rather than running, it would be more accurate to describe his behavior at that moment as "fleeing".

"not good!"

Kira's heart skipped a beat, and a chill rose up from his spine, instantly spreading throughout his body.

His face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Because in that instant just now, if the perception of some unknown danger was merely speculation, then at this moment, that speculation has been confirmed without a doubt.

Behind him stood a being whose strength far exceeded imagination, a being so powerful as to inspire fear. This mysterious powerhouse possessed such formidable power that even X Drake, known for his bravery and fearlessness, chose to flee at the mere sight of him.

If even someone like X Drake would be so humiliated and flee in defeat when faced with such a formidable enemy, then what about myself?

Kira dared not think any further; the mere thought that flashed through his mind made his heart leap into his throat.

At the same time, Kira subconsciously turned his head, eager to witness firsthand what kind of terrifying being possessed such awe-inspiring power that even X Drake was so wary of it.

His legs also reacted, bending slightly as if to exert force.

This is a survival instinct.

Just as his head had turned about ninety degrees, before he could even see what was behind him, a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost. The shadow moved with such incredible speed that it was almost impossible to catch a glimpse of it.

His legs had already exerted force, and he leaped into the air.

However, a slender hand landed on his shoulder with unusual ease.

In an instant, Kira felt an overwhelming force, like Mount Tai crushing an egg, surge down upon him, not only pressing him back down but also pinning him firmly to the spot, making it impossible for him to move an inch no matter how much he struggled.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding air seemed to become incredibly heavy, making it hard to breathe.

"hiss..."

At that moment, he widened his eyes, trying hard to see clearly who the newcomer was.

The man was wearing a well-tailored, fitted suit, which made him appear even more upright.

The cloak of justice, unique to naval admirals, draped behind them fluttered in the wind like a flag, unmistakably indicating the faction to which this person belonged.

However, when Kira's gaze fell on the rank insignia on the Justice Cloak, a chill instantly rose up his spine, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

"A candidate for general?"

Kira screamed inwardly.

At the same time, he couldn't help but gasp. It was as if time itself had frozen, and everything around him became completely silent.

Finally, his gaze slowly focused on the newcomer's face. In an instant, his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and he froze on the spot.

It is important to know that within the entire naval system, there are three renowned candidates for admiral: Chaton Chaton, Momousagi Gion, and Kinryu Enni.

Although Chaton and Momousagi Gion are both renowned veteran candidates for generals, in terms of sheer strength, Kinryu Enni is undoubtedly the strongest.

After all, he is a terrifying being who can fight the sea tyrant—the Yonko Kaido—without being at a disadvantage!

Therefore, if they had to encounter one of these three people, probably none of them would be willing to face the fearsome Golden Dragon, Aini.

That's right, the person who came was Aini.

At this moment, Enni subdued Killer with one hand, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "Piracy has no future. Why not join me? I won't talk about a high position, but a Rear Admiral is a sure thing. In the future, Vice Admiral of the Headquarters is also a certainty."

Isn't this much better than being a pirate?

"what?"

Kira froze, never expecting that the other party would extend an invitation to him. But he quickly realized... yes... this guy in front of him.

He really enjoys recruiting pirates to his ranks.

But he couldn't be happy at all, because this guy only had two ways of dealing with pirates.

Either bring them under your control.

Either kill them directly.

There is no third possibility.
