One of the individuals rushing into the room was the previously seen Ace in a red coat, and the other was a boy in a high hat with blonde hair dressed in a blue jacket—indeed, this was Sabo! Seeing this, Rokujin quickly followed. Upon reaching the room, he could hear the sounds of a scuffle inside. Peering through the door, he saw Ace, Sabo, and Luffy inside, surrounded by members of the Sapphire Pirate Crew. The leader among them was Bluejam, a man with a robust build, several heads taller than Rokujin, with muscular shoulders that made it seem like he had no neck.
Character: Bluejam
Level: F
Skills: Physical Techniques (F), Gun Techniques (F)
By then, Sabo had already rescued Luffy, but only Ace remained trying to hold off Bluejam, shouting to Sabo, “You go ahead!”
“Let’s go together!” Sabo, carrying Luffy, urged. They only needed to rescue Luffy, as the two of them were not necessarily a match for their opponents.
“I won’t run away, just go!” Ace declared firmly, facing Bluejam alone.
Bluejam, with a look of disdain, retorted, “You think you can escape? Block the door! Don’t let them leave!”
“Yes!” At his command, all the pirates surged forward, surrounding Ace and Sabo.
Rokujin had not yet intervened, waiting for the system to trigger a mission. He would certainly have intervened regardless. Because Sabo was carrying Luffy, his movements were restricted, and soon the surrounding pirates captured him.
“Sabo!” Ace turned back, shouting anxiously. As he was distracted, Bluejam raised his hand and swung his cutlass towards Ace, “Die!”
“Oh no!” Ace’s face changed as he extended his iron rod to block. But Bluejam’s overwhelming force immediately pressed him down, forcing him to his knees. He could only watch as the sharp blade drew nearer and nearer to his body.
“Ace!” “Ace!” Both Luffy and Sabo, though restrained, roared in anger.
“Bang!” Just as Ace was about to be cleaved in two, Rokujin’s gaze sharpened, and with a stomp of his right foot, “Soru!” Using Soru, he instantly appeared in front of Ace!
“What?” The sudden appearance startled Bluejam, his eyes widening.
“Heh!” Rokujin smirked slightly, slightly crouching and drawing his sword, “Single Sword Style: Draw and Slash!” Reikaze was pulled out, sweeping past Bluejam’s cutlass and his body. A flash of cold light! The cutlass was cleaved in two, and a deep wound appeared on Bluejam’s body, from which blood spurted out before he heavily fell to the ground.
“Plop!” Ace was saved, and only then did he clearly see who it was, surprised, “It’s you!” He had seen Rokujin before, another grandson of Grandpa! And he had joined the Navy not long ago; was he already this strong?
“Long time no see, Ace, Luffy!” Rokujin sheathed Reikaze and said. The other pirates, seeing Bluejam dead, panicked and fled in all directions.
“Bluejam is dead! Run!” “Run!”
“Waaah, Rokujin bro, wuu wuu wuu!” Suddenly, two arms wrapped around Rokujin, and a figure “whooshed” onto his face. It was Luffy, clinging to Rokujin, crying loudly.
“Wuu wuu, Rokujin bro, I was about to die!”
“It’s alright now, isn’t it?” Rokujin said helplessly, pulling Luffy off him. “Grandpa sent me to check on you, I didn’t expect to find you here.” However, his clothes were now smeared with Luffy’s tears and snot.
“Oh! Grandpa didn’t come?” Luffy asked cautiously.
“No!”
“That’s good!” Hearing this, Luffy was relieved. If Grandpa had come, he would have been in for a beating!
“Rokujin bro, how did you get so strong?”
“I joined the Navy with Grandpa, currently training at the Navy headquarters. You could join too if you want!” Rokujin said.
“No way! I’m going to be a pirate!” But Luffy immediately refused without a second thought.
“Hehe!” Rokujin chuckled silently. He knew Luffy would never join the Navy, just saying it for the sake of conversation.
“We should get going, those pirates might be going to inform their boss!” Sabo reminded.
“Yeah!” Ace nodded, looking at Rokujin. But Rokujin stopped, “You guys go ahead!”
“Rokujin bro, why are you staying?”
“If someone bullies my two brothers, naturally
Especially Ace! “Yeah! Let’s go get revenge!” Luffy exclaimed joyfully, leaping into the air.
Meanwhile, at Pirate’s Bay. “Boss! Bluejam has been killed!” A few pirates who had fled ran back to their pirate base, kneeling before a burly, slightly balding man. This man was Bluejam, the captain of the Sapphire Pirate Crew.
“Hmm?” Immediately, Bluejam’s face darkened with rage, his expression also showing surprise: “He was killed? Someone dared to kill our people at the Junkyard Terminal?”
“Yes, it was a newcomer, haven’t seen him before, seems like he’s not from around here.” “Right, he’s with Ace and Sabo!” one of the pirate underlings continued.
“Hmm?” Bluejam stood up abruptly, growling, “They steal my treasure, and now they kill my men, do these kids not want to live?”
“Come on, follow me and capture them!” “Yes, boss!” With that, many pirates grabbed their swords and knives.
At this moment, Rokujin and his group had also arrived, announcing loudly: “No need for trouble, we’re already here!”
“Yeah, I’m going to send you flying with my fists,” Luffy said earnestly. Only Ace and Sabo remained silent, drawing their weapons, ready for battle. The Sapphire Pirate Crew was not an easy opponent.
Bluejam’s lips curled into an ugly grin, revealing his nasty teeth, and he sneered: “Since you’ve come to us seeking death, I’ll be happy to oblige!”
“Brothers, attack, kill them!” “Yes, Captain!” At his command, all the pirates surged from all directions, charging towards Rokujin and his group.
“You’re the one seeking death!” Rokujin’s eyes were icy as he responded without courtesy.
