Chapter 23 - North side of the island

When the island in distance is already in sight with Adam eyes, Adam stop using his Observation Haki to feel more mysterious. From far Adam already can see the weather which was very stromy. The clouds above the island where black with lightning dancing on it, and the wind is very windy.

The island was a square-shaped, with each side in 2km in length, with a total of area 4 square km. Adam landed first on the south of the island and look around with his excited expression.

The island surface 20m above the sea, with raging waves keep hitting the straight walls of the island.

Adam squat down and touch the land beneath him, the land was still wet, and Adam can feel the same material as the Red Line, which was indestructible for most people. The island surface was very flat, with nothing else besides in the middle of the island. Feeling excited, Adam look toward in the middle of the island, which was a huge black rough-shaped stone stick with the island surface.

From Adam position which was still far, Adam can already see the Excalibur which was shining in gold. Even from far away, Adam can already feel the majestic and ancient feeling of the sword.

Feeling being looked, Adam narrowed his eyes and look toward the opposite distance, which was the north of the island.

Adam can see there where many people over there, standing neatly. Because Adam didnt use his Observation Haki, Adam cant see their characteristic. So Adam take out a telescope from his Storage Ring and look toward the people over there with interest.

There were two different group on north of the island. Looking at their customes, Adam can sure that it was the Marines and World Government. The two group seperated a bit of distance, people can see that they were not too harmonious.

Without Observation Haki, Adam cant detect how many of them, but he can be sure that there were thousands on each group.

Adam telsecope keep moving slowly from left to right stops when he saw a slender woman with red lipstick, long curly black hair that is tied back, and a mole on the right side of her face below her mouth. She wears a Marine coat on her shoulders like a cape, and her sleeves have pink cuffs and the epaulettes are pink. Underneath, she sports a short-sleeved pink shirt, with a frilled collar and an open neckline that exposes her cleavage. She wears dark brown shorts and black heels. And a black spidder tattoo on her left t.h.i.g.h.

When Adam telescope focus on the cleavege, the other side were furious and a red clouds appear on her cheeks and angrily griith her teeth.

On the other side, the Marines and the World Government also look at Adam who appears. The week with their telescope, while the strong ones in the first line use their Observation Haki to observe.

' Pervert !!!!!!' Gion said angrily.

' HAHAHAHAHA!!! Gion kid, that boy likes you..' Garp said beside her while eating his Rice Crackers.

' Bold ! Who dare to peek at my Gion !! ' A thin uncle wearing a dark-colored fedora hat, A Marine coat on his shoulders like a cape. Wearing blue shirt, yellow haramaki on his waist, and wears brown trousers.

' Uncle Garp !!! Tokikake !! Im not yours ! Shut up !!' Gion said more angry looking the man who just talk beside her.

' Im sorry, Gion my love. Btw I didnt feel see any powerful aura from his presense' Tokikake said in disdain.

' Pen-Pineapple, Apple-Pen... My my Brown Pig, so you didnt believe me? ' Borsalino who keeps singing lowly and dance not too exagerated making the people nearby headache stop and turn to look at Brown Pig which was Tokikake alias in the Marines.

' You are the best sniper Marines had ever, why dont you try?' Borsalino continue.

' This..' Tokikake look toward Kuzan the highest commander for today infront of him.

Kuzan didnt answer but suddenly move his head to the side which was an old man in square jaw, with a slight beard on it, hair combed neatly, but with the back flowing. He was wearing a black suit with a peach hued shirt underneath, and a striped coat over it. He is coming toward Kuzan side with his proud and arrogant way.

Looking at the coming man, many Marines faces also changed a bit, only Garp turns ugly without any worries.

' Hey, Admiral Kuzan. That man Adam is the one who caught 3611 pirates 3 days ago in Sabaody with a total of bounty collected 7.2 billion berries. From our investigation, 70% we can be sure he was the culprit in last night incident. I order you right now to capture him. We cant have a figure which was a threat to the World Government. ' Spandine said in arrogant way.

Many Marines faces changed ungly hearing the arrogant person from the World Government.

' Is it? But if we move at this time. Our enemy will not only be him, it included with the other side.' Kuzan said lazily.

' Yes, but now he was alone, and from our investigation. The pirates and other forces still half an hour from the island. And, remember, you are a Admiral in Marines, and Marines was the subordinate of the World Government.. So, you should not ask and just do it..' Spandaine said raising his head high and arrogantly pointing toward Kuzan.

' Currently the man over there have no bounty on his head. It will be joke for the Marines to shoot at innocent people??' Kuzan still said with his lazily expression.

The Marines behind Kuzan heard the conversation with their ugly expression, and cant wait to eat the arrogant man infront of them. Especially Garp, who stop eating his Rice Crackers and ready to move but was stop by an old woman beside him called Tsuru.

' You are just the subordinate of our World Government ! Dont ask and just do it ! Or you will know the consequence ! ' Spandaine said pointing toward Kuzan angrily.

Kuzan who keeps his lazy expression actually in his heart were vere angry. But he finally follow orders and said toward Tokikake behind him.

' Tokikake, give me your best shot. ' Kuzan said lazily without looking back.

' HAHAHA GOOD, Vice Admiral ' Brown Pig ' Tokikake is it, the best sniper ever in Marines. Good..' Then Spandaine take a telescope from the officers who follow behind him and look at Adam in distance with his ugly smirk.

Tokikake hesistated for a moment after looking at Garp who nods and take out his gun on the waist and aimed at Adam with his Observation Haki. While attaching the bullets with his powerful Armament Haki.

On the distance, Adam look interestingly at Spandaine who walk toward Kuzan, but he didnt hear what they talk. But from Spandain angry and arrogant expression while keep pointing toward Adam, Adam felt something good will happened. Then Adam see Tokikake who were beside Gion the beautiful woman who he just peek shamelessly raise his gun and aimed toward him.

A smirk on Adam face appear, Adam drop his telescope and put it back to his Storage Ring.

Boom !!

On the Marines and World Government side, a gun shot was heard.

Adam didnt use his Observation Haki, but with one of his abilities which was Immesurable Senses, the bullet coming toward him was very slow in his eyes.

The gun shot was very accurate, it directly point toward Adam middle forehead. When the bullet just inch from his forehead, Adam tiptoed and catch the bullet with his white shiny teeth.

Adam stop his tiptoed and throw out the bullets which was in his teeth to his right hand and pinch it calmly with his index and thumb finger making the bullet more smaller. Then made a flick posture with his right hand and aimed at distance.

On the Marines and World Government sides.

Many people where watching the man on the other side with their telescopes, while the strong ones with their Observation Haki.

When the gunshot sound was heard, many people from the Marines felt sympathy toward the man on the other side, while the World Government with their excited and smirk ugly expression.

Spandaine who have a high rank in the World Government, was very weak that he even need to use the telescope to look at the man on the other side. When he saw Adam stop looking at here with his telescope and make it disappear from his hands, he was a bit suprised for a moment only after hearing the gunshot sound on his ear he changed back to his smirk expression.

But then something impossible happened. The man who is looking at with his telescope catch the bullet between his teeth with his calm expression. Spandaine body trembled in shocked, then he saw the bullet was pinch to a smaller one, and flick it toward his position.

Before he even move to hide, the bullet in Adam hands which was flick with his right fingers already shot.

And what everyone on the other side turn their head and saw was an empty ship belongs to the World Government which was blown. The explosion was huge and many debris from the ship falling down from the air. While the fate of the other ship beside the ship which explode doesnt have too much damage, only the waves making the ship sway.

Then everyone heard another sound which was an pain expression, they turned toward the source of the sound. And what they saw was the arrogant and proud man from the World Government was holding his right ear which was bleeding and he kept rolling in pain on the ground.

' Ahh.. my ear...my ear...' The Marines and World Government were shock, until finally the officer from the World Government near Spandaine shout for medic.

' Medic ! Hurry ..' the man from the World Government shout toward the medic team in distance.

The medic team in distance awake then hurriedly come to Spandaine side and treat Spandaine who keep shouting in horrified expression and ordering everyone to kill the man on the other side.

' Kill him.. Kill him .. !!! Hey Marines !! You didnt hear me?' Spandaine on his but on the ground being treated by the medical team was shouting angrily while his eyes keep looking at the distance scaredly.

' This..We have tried..' Kuzan scrath his head helplessly. In his heart, his was feeling very good right now, but didnt show it on the surface.

' Tried again !! ' Spandaine said furiously.

' Sir, but the Red Hair Pirates ship already can be seen in distance..' the officer near Spandaine here from the report from his Transponder Snail and report to Spandaine in whisper.

' You.... !!' Spandaine stood up and point toward the many Marines and finally left quickly toward the World Government side, but still didnt leave the island. Then the voice of his roar was heard ordering his men to guard and cover him.

' HAHAHAHA.. that kid ..' Garp said then sit on the ground relaxly and continue eating his Rice Crackers.

' Very strong..' someone muttered nervously.

Everyone look at who muttered and it was Tokikake who shots.

' HAHAHA, that kid didnt aim at you, but to that person. So relax.' Garp said leisurely

' Pen-Pineapple Apple-Pen.. How is it Brown Pig. Can your catch it with your strong Observation Haki?' Borsalino ask with his grin.

' This.. no..' Tokikake said weekly covering his face with his dark-colored fedora hat.

' So arrogant !! That smirk on his face!!! ' Gion said angrily looking at Adam in distance with his smirk and eyebrows pick up looking at them.

' Oh you can be arrogant if you are very powerful..' Kuzan said then he also sits on the ground like Garp waiting lazily.

While the conversations behind the first line of the Marines were different. Which was the girl camp, exactly behind the Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Gion.

' Hina is shocked, that man is very powerful !!' A tall and slim woman with straight, waist-length pink hair. Dark brown eyes, and wears red lipstick, while smoking a cigarette spoke.

' Yes, powerful and handsome..' another woman said nearby.

' Powerful and Handsome, sadly he didnt join the Marines..' a woman also said weekly.
