One Piece: Deriving All Things

Onigumo remained silent.

He stepped forward with a moonwalk toward Sanders.

Eight long knives wrapped in Armament Haki slashed at Sanders.

Without fear, Sanders met the attack with his arms wrapped in Armament Haki.

At the moment the long knives came slashing down, he effortlessly grabbed one of the blades.

The sharp edge had no effect on him.

With a sudden pull, he brought Onigumo in front of him.

"Two Hundred Million Volts: Thunder Fist!"

A fist carrying the power of furious thunder struck Onigumo right in the face.

Onigumo's face twisted instantly, and several teeth flew out.

The raging thunder burned his face black, and his helmet turned to ashes in an instant.

He was sent flying backward.

He crashed heavily onto the warship he was on.

The large warship's deck was instantly smashed open.

Onigumo was smashed into the depths of the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Vice Admiral Onigumo of Marine Headquarters stood no chance against Sanders.

"Vice Admiral Onigumo!"

"The Vice Admiral has been defeated!!"

On the warship, the officers and Marines were visibly shocked.

They knew Sanders had broken out of Impel Down.

But they had little concept of how strong he was.

Now, with a single blow, Sanders had defeated Vice Admiral Onigumo.

They truly felt the strength of Sanders.

The Marines present couldn't help but drop their jaws.

Each of them turned pale, speechless from the shock.

Seeing the destructive thunder wrapped around Sanders, their faces were filled with terror and anxiety, their scalps tingling, and cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

Was this really the Rear Admiral Sanders they had known before, with such overwhelming strength?

Only the three Admirals of the Marines could achieve such a feat.

Had he been training during those three years in Impel Down?

For a moment, everyone was left wondering whether Impel Down was truly a hellish prison or a sanctuary for training.

There was no reason for a prisoner to become this strong in just three years.

After sending Onigumo flying with one punch, Sanders showed no signs of emotion.

Three years ago, he could already spar with most of the Marines' Vice Admirals.

Now his strength had increased dramatically.

It was perfectly normal for him to take out Onigumo with ease.

What he really wanted was for a swordsman to come up and confront him in the air.

That was simply foolish!

Looking at the panicking Marines below, Sanders felt no sympathy.

From the moment Sengoku and Kizaru had teamed up to capture him, he had severed any ties with the Marines.

Onigumo had said something very true.

There was nothing to be said between criminals and the Marines.

Only the outcome mattered.

He summoned the thunder to destroy the entire fleet.

This was his first gift to the Marines.

It was also a declaration to the world that Sanders had returned.

Soon, all the Marine warships were destroyed.

The sea was littered with wreckage, and countless Marines wailed as they floated on the surface.

Sanders didn't pursue them.

A bunch of foot soldiers wasn't worth his effort.

He descended from the air, gathering the wreckage of several warships together.

He placed his hands on the wreckage.

He activated the powers of the Fusion Fruit.

This was the power he had just received from Douglas Bullet.

He could rearrange and combine objects to create weapons or other things.

As a child, Bullet had used this power on the battlefield to create endless weapons.

And now.

He wanted to use the Fusion Fruit's power to make himself a simple little boat.

Recalling the design of the boat Vegapunk had created for him, Sanders began the construction using the Fusion Fruit's powers.

He had just obtained this fruit's powers and was still unfamiliar with them.

The wreckage of the warships continuously transformed in his hands.

As time passed, it gradually took shape as a boat.

The boat was about six or seven meters long; it didn't look good but was usable at best.

At least it was much better than Mihawk's coffin.

At the very least, he could lie down and rest on it while sailing on the sea.

Hmm... there was even a small enclosed room for a toilet, so he wouldn't have to face the sea with his backside exposed...

Most importantly, this boat was powered by electricity.

As the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, powering such a small boat was no pressure at all.

Seeing the boat finally take shape, Sanders wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Building a boat was much harder than battling Magellan.

He jumped onto the little boat, channeling the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit into it.

After slightly determining his direction, he sailed away from the Red Line at high speed, like a speedboat.

After Sanders left.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun shone again on the sea surface.

The Sea Kings in the depths of the ocean also began to swim toward the surface.

About five minutes later.

A flash of yellow appeared on the sea.

Seeing the chaotic sea surface, Kizaru couldn't help but change his expression.

"It seems I came too late; this is terrifying!"

"It's Admiral Kizaru!"

"Great! We're saved!"

Seeing Kizaru, the Marines on the sea were ecstatic.

With an Admiral here, they no longer had to worry about becoming the Sea Kings' food.

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief.

Sea Kings began to swim up from the ocean.

They swallowed several Marines in one bite.

"Help!"

"There are Sea Kings!"

"Save us!"

The Marines cried out for help.

"This is troublesome," Kizaru sighed, his fingertips glowing with yellow light, as a laser beam shot out, instantly piercing through the Sea Kings trying to devour the Marines.

While releasing laser beams to drive away the Sea Kings, Kizaru took out a Den Den Mushi to call the Fleet Admiral.

"Kizaru, has Sanders been recaptured?"

As soon as the call connected, Sengoku's anxious voice came through.

Kizaru tapped his ear, then released a laser beam, saying, "No, I'm too late, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

"What? Sanders escaped? How could it be so fast? What are Magellan and Onigumo doing?!!"

Sengoku on the other end was shocked and immediately inquired about the situation.

"Magellan is unaware of the situation, but the Marine fleet outside Impel Down has been completely wiped out. Onigumo doesn't know where he ran off to; he might be dead."

Looking around without finding Onigumo's presence, Kizaru said.

"How could this happen?!!"

"Have you asked the survivors where Sanders fled to? Is there any chance of catching up to him?"

"Probably not."

Kizaru glanced at the struggling and desperate Marines in the water, describing the scene.

Sengoku remained silent for a moment before ultimately not ordering Kizaru to pursue.

"Then it's settled. You stay there with the stranded Marines and wait for the fleet to arrive."

"There are medical personnel inside Impel Down; have them help treat the survivors."

"Understood, Fleet Admiral."

Kizaru breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the call.

At least he wasn't sent to chase Sanders alone.

Based on the situation on-site, Sanders had managed to destroy the entire fleet outside of Impel Down in such a short time, showing his immense strength.

If he went alone to chase, it would be fine if he didn't encounter him.

If he did, it was likely the other side would fight to the death.

Facing Sanders alone could lead to unexpected consequences.

Earning just this little money for a month, what was the point of risking his life?
