The first half of the Grand Line, Tanry Island, the port.
The port was already engulfed in flames, with six pirate ships spread out, surrounding the harbor.
Hundreds of pirates on shore guarded the port passage, and countless civilian bodies lay on the ground.
The rest of the pirates were searching on merchant ships, holding two blurry photographs.
"Not like her."
"Not like her."
"This one isn't like her either."
"This one is a bit like her, cut her down."
"Don't let any children go, especially those with purple hair."
"Hurry up and search."
"Yes!!!"
Immediately, screams echoed from the ships, better to kill by mistake than let one go.
Anyone who bore even a slight resemblance to the woman in the blurry photograph was cut down and thrown into the sea.
Inside a ship's cabin, a mother and child hiding in a corner heard the pirates mention purple hair through a Den Den Mushi and were instantly startled.
The child's mother seemed to understand something, her mind racing as she made a quyết định.
She placed her child in a wooden barrel and sternly told him not to make a sound, no matter what happened, and not to come out.
Then, she found something to cover the barrel, covered her mouth, and with tears streaming down her face, she moved to a distant room. As the pirates searched that room and opened the door, she pushed open the window, jumped out, landed on the deck, ran towards the railing, and leaped into the sea, swimming towards the seabed.
Several pirates who pursued her cursed and followed her into the water.
A moment later, a splash of red appeared in the water, and then a pirate, holding the woman's corpse, surfaced and shouted to the ship:
"Tricked by this woman."
"Which room did she jump out of just now?"
"Search quickly!!!"
"Zephyr's brat must be in that room!"
"Hurry up and find him!!!"
"Kill him!!!"
After shouting, he swam towards the shore with the woman's body, preparing to deal with it later.
The pirates on the ship, upon hearing this, swarmed into the room from which the woman had jumped.
They searched frantically, smashing everything, and after completely destroying the room, they found no hiding place.
A pirate at the forefront instantly understood and grinned ferociously:
"Smash this entire deck!"
"Zephyr's brat must be on this deck!"
"Find him, I'll torture him to death properly!!!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
The surrounding pirates also became instantly excited, thinking of retaliating against Admiral Zephyr and killing his brat.
Hatred and excitement made them even more zealous, their bloodshot eyes scanning everything around them, cruel and frenzied:
"Brat!"
"Where are you!"
"Come out quickly!"
"Zephyr's brat!!!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"
After a long while, they finally searched the storage room in the corner. The pirates, with ferocious faces like demons, smashed everything and easily found Admiral Zephyr's child.
Grabbing the two-year-old child by the neck, and looking at his flushed, struggling little face, a flicker of pleasure flashed through the pirates' hearts.
They couldn't kill him yet, so they slightly loosened their grip, and holding him by the neck, they walked onto the deck:
"Boss! We found him!"
The pirate captain on deck instantly became excited:
"Quick! Bring him to me!!!"
He took the child with purple hair, grinned ferociously, and squeezed the child's neck.
As if observing a piece of art, he carefully scanned every inch of the child's skin:
"Zephyr, you never thought this day would come, did you!"
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Bring that woman's body over here!"
"Hurry up and take a picture for me!"
"Find a newspaper tomorrow and have them publish it!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"
After the pirate captain adjusted his pose, a crisp sound echoed, and a photograph appeared in the camera.
A ferocious-looking pirate captain, with the woman's corpse under his feet, holding a child by the neck, the child struggling wildly, and the pirate captain smiling cruelly.
After taking the picture, the pirate captain, still holding the child by the neck, with a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes, said cruelly:
"It's all your father Zephyr's fault."
Saying this, he was about to forcefully crush the child's neck, and the surrounding pirates watched with excitement.
Crack!!!
A thunderclap, a deafening roar of thunder exploded in everyone's ears, their minds blanking for an instant.
A young voice, filled with rage, accompanied the thunder, echoing in their ears:
"Stop!!!"
A bolt of lightning struck the deck in front of the pirate captain, and Enel's figure instantly took shape.
At this moment, Enel had grown into a handsome young man, his height more than doubled.
He wore a Navy uniform that looked exceptionally dashing and held a golden staff, made from Sakazuki's golden briefcase.
His angry expression showed that Enel was not calm at the moment:
"Judgment!"
A faint light appeared in the sky, followed by several lightning bolts that instantly struck the surrounding pirates. The pirates on this merchant ship were instantly cleared out, all falling to the ground.
The pirates on the surrounding ships, however, were gradually approaching this ship, encircling it from below.
At this moment, only Enel, the child whose neck was being held, and the pirate captain remained on the deck.
All other passengers on this ship had been killed by the pirates, and the remaining pirates had been directly struck down by Enel's lightning.
The pirate captain smiled cruelly, shaking the purple-haired child in his hand:
"Logia type, huh? I'm so scared."
"Kid, why don't you strike me?"
He then shook the purple-haired child in his hand again, like a toy.
Enel's angry expression darkened, and he gripped the staff in his hands, aiming it at the pirate captain in front of him.
Whoosh!
With a shave technique, combined with his Devil Fruit ability, his body instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of the pirate captain, smashing his staff towards the wrist holding the child.
The pirate captain's cruel smile did not diminish, and he watched the golden staff smash towards his wrist.
Just as it was about to touch his wrist, black Armament Haki covered his wrist.
Enel's powerful Observation Haki instantly detected this situation.
He instantly transformed into lightning and flashed to the side, his expression somewhat grim.
