The center of the Goa Kingdom.
The luxurious area known as the High Town was currently undergoing a mobilization regarding purity.
Because the Bluejam Pirates had suffered an unfavorable start, King Outlook III had completely lost his patience.
The inspection ships of the Celestial Dragons had already appeared in the East Blue.
There was not much time left for this “most beautiful country” to wipe away its filth.
“Since we can’t clean up that trash, we’ll destroy the trash can along with it.”
The King’s order was issued cleanly and decisively.
In the eyes of those well-dressed nobles, the tens of thousands of commoners and vagrants living in the Terminal, and even the laborers who had taken root there to make a living, were merely unsightly stains.
At midnight, the sea breeze howled.
On the outskirts of the Terminal, hundreds of guards poured large amounts of kerosene.
As the torches hit the ground, the orange flames caught the wind, instantly forming a dragon of fire that spanned several kilometers.
This fire started very suddenly.
…
Halfway up Mt.
Colubo, the originally quiet forest was illuminated as bright as day by the firelight soaring into the sky in the distance.
“What is that?” Luffy rubbed his eyes and ran out of the wooden house, frozen in place by the scene before him.
The Terminal below had already turned into a sea of flames, with thick smoke and sparks shooting straight into the clouds.
Even from such a great distance, it seemed one could hear the miserable screams carried up by the wind.
“They…
they really did it.” Sabo clutched his hat tightly, his entire body collapsing powerlessly onto the muddy ground.
As a former noble, he knew their methods all too well, but he hadn’t expected them to be this ruthless.
“That’s home!
Those people haven’t run out yet!” Sabo slammed his fist into the ground in pain.
“It’s my fault…
If I hadn’t run away, Father might not have taken his anger out on that place…
If…
if I had gone back with them, none of this would have…”
“Sabo, now is not the time to cry!” Ace picked up a water pipe, his expression grim.
“We have to go save them!”
“How can we save them?
The fire is too big!” Luffy paced around anxiously, his rubber arms flailing wildly.
“How long is this going to burn for?!”
The firelight reflected on the faces of the three brothers.
It was their first time facing the ugliest and bloodiest side of power.
Creak—
The door of the wooden house was pushed open.
Ron was woken up and walked out wearing a loose, navy-blue bathrobe.
He squinted, looking at the fiery red horizon in the distance.
Sleep was completely out of the question now.
“Brother Ron…” Uta poked her head out from behind Ron, still wearing her silk nightgown.
After seeing the tragic situation at the foot of the mountain, her small body shuddered violently, her eyes filled with fear.
Uta wrapped her arms tightly around Ron’s waist, shrinking into his embrace, and said with a tearful voice, “So many people are screaming…
I can hear them, they are crying…
Why did they set the fire?”
Ron looked down and saw the tears sliding from the corners of Uta’s eyes.
As a future diva, her senses were far sharper than ordinary people’s, and that collective wailing was no less than torture for her.
Ron’s brows locked tight.
He was usually a bit of a goofball, thinking about how to tease Makino or how to raise Uta to be plump and healthy.
But he had a bottom line.
Don’t dirty his sight, don’t disturb his ears, and definitely don’t make the women around him cry.
That bunch of fishbowl-heads down the mountain and those trash who considered themselves noble had clearly crossed the line.
“Ron-kun, it’s too tragic.” Makino also walked to the edge of the cliff, her hands wringing together.
“Big Brother!
Please think of something!” Luffy rushed over, tugging at the corner of Ron’s robe.
“That pipe!
Where’s that big pipe of yours that can spray water?!”
Ron didn’t speak.
He felt Uta’s tears soaking through his bathrobe, feeling cold against the skin on his waist.
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time began to bubble up.
Ron bent down slightly, his fingers lifting Uta’s chin.
The girl’s nose was slightly red from crying, her eyes filled with helplessness.
Ron lowered his head and kissed Uta’s eyelid, the slightly salty taste of tears melting on his lips and teeth.
“Don’t cry, your makeup is ruined.
I’m here.”
Uta sobbed, staring at him blankly.
Ron turned around, his clothes flapping in the night wind.
He looked at Sabo, who was kneeling on the ground, his tone cold.
“Sabo, wipe away those useless tears.
A child doesn’t need to bear the sins of the nobles.”
Afterward, he glanced at the anxious Luffy and Ace.
“Want to put out the fire?”
The three brothers nodded in unison, their eyes burning with fervor.
“Give me your hands.”
Ron raised his right hand, palm facing up.
Inside the system space, the infinite water version of the high-pressure water pipe was on standby.
Although the efficiency of a single hand-held nozzle was slightly low for fighting a massive fire covering several kilometers, what if he added a little something extra?
The top-tier Armament Haki inside Ron’s body began to flow silently, and a layer of tangible black luster began to wrap around the originally ordinary plastic nozzle.
“Tonight, without my say-so, this fire won’t be allowed to spread even a single centimeter further.”
Ron waved his hand.
A hundred-meter-long fluorescent green water pipe appeared out of thin air, its long body spanning the entire ridge of Mt.
Colubo.
“Luffy, Ace, go stabilize the pipe!
Sabo, go to the edge of the cliff and keep watch”
Ron walked to the very edge of the cliff, the sea breeze blowing his hair into a mess.
The firelight in the distance was reflected in his pupils, mirroring two burning flames.
He picked up the nozzle and turned the dial directly past the spiral penetration setting.
Wide-area super-pressure rainfall mode.
Hum—!
Ron pulled the trigger all the way.
Armament Haki tightly wrapped around the plastic nozzle, preventing it from bursting on the spot under the terrifying water pressure.
A water column as thick as a barrel shot out, soaring hundreds of meters into the sky.
Then, under the high pressure, it exploded and scattered, turning into a wide-ranging downpour that crashed down onto the sea of flames below!
“Ah!
Such strong recoil!”
Luffy and Ace held onto the wildly thrashing water pipe on the left and right, their feet carving two deep trenches into the muddy ground, their hands numbed by the vibration.
The heavy rain fell into the fire.
Accompanied by ear-piercing hissing sounds, large swathes of white smoke rose up.
The once rampant orange flames were indeed forcibly flattened over a large area.
However, Ron’s brows did not relax.
Because the area was simply too vast.
That was a giant mountain of trash that had piled up for decades and stretched for several kilometers!
Everywhere there were rotten wooden planks, abandoned shipwrecks, and flammable industrial waste that had become brittle from being exposed to the sun.
Ron’s water volume, which was comparable to a small typhoon’s rainfall, was ultimately just a drop in the bucket for the vast sea of flames!
The water column extinguished the center, but the flames on both wings used the wind to crazily surround and close in.
The terrifying high temperature even caused the falling water droplets to instantly evaporate in mid-air, turning into steam, which instead severely obstructed their vision.
Even worse, this abnormal local downpour alerted the execution squad at the edge of the sea of flames.
“What the hell!
Where did that rain come from in that area?” An officer of the Goa Kingdom wearing a gas mask roared.
“His Majesty the King has issued a death order!
Not a single rat in the junkyard is allowed to come out alive tonight!”
“Give me the heavy stuff!
Burn them to death!”
With the officer’s order, the execution squad pushed forward heavy catapults.
Barrel after barrel of thick, black, special-grade kerosene was lit and smashed densely into the area that had been extinguished by the water.
Immediately after, dozens of military high-explosive incendiary bombs were also blasted in.
Boom!
Boom!
Deafening, continuous explosions rang out.
The special-grade kerosene didn’t go out when it touched water; it instantly vaporized and exploded under the high temperature.
This time, what rose up was no longer ordinary red fire, but deadly flames mixed with blue tongues of fire and acrid, toxic smoke!
The fire borrowed the power of the oil, even forming a terrifying fire tornado in mid-air.
Not only did it instantly swallow the area Ron had just suppressed.
The wall of fire surged even higher, rows of fire waves beginning to violently counterattack toward the foot of Mt.
Colubo!
“How could it be like this…” Sabo knelt at the edge of the cliff, looking at the sea of flames that hadn’t been extinguished but instead burned even more terrifyingly, and fell into complete despair.
Was individual power, in the end, pale and weak?
The heatwave backflowed up the mountain.
Luffy and Ace were struck by the heatwave, unable to open their eyes, their arms going weak, nearly unable to hold onto the water pipe.
Ron frowned, looking down.
He knew very well.
Facing this kind of continuous combustion mixed with chemical oils, simply pouring water was already meaningless.
