[New World, aboard The Moby Dick. The pirate crew’s First Division Commander and ship doctor closed his medicine box and looked up, reproaching their Captain. Whitebeard, the legendary pirate whose name shook the oceans and was on par with the Pirate King Roger, casually laughed and continued reading his newspaper. His golden hair now had a few more white strands.]

Smoker’s momentum, riding on clouds of smoke, instantly slowed.
Liam spun the Iron Rod in his hands at high speed, creating a tight and continuous shield of spinning air currents, like a fan, that struck against the approaching Smoker.
Even Robin, familiar with Liam, couldn’t help but lean back slightly in astonishment at his maneuver.
Onlookers watching the commotion exclaimed,
“That kid’s rod tricks are impressive!”
“What kid? This is a 100 million belly bounty criminal!”
“What?! 100 Million Belly?!”
“Incredible!!”
The chatter around Smoker only added to his frustration, exacerbated by Liam’s antics.
He braced himself against the wind generated by the spinning rod and increased the power of his smoke to rush at Liam.
He planned to continue to annoy him…
Smoker was secretly planning his strategy, intending to get closer before immediately breaking the elementalisation of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit!
Then he would charge in his solid human form and deal a heavy blow with his Jitte!
As he thought this, Liam’s spinning Iron Rod, which had turned into a black disc, suddenly flew away…
“Ugh…” Liam grimaced in pain and blew on his hands, “Damn! My hands are sore from spinning, and I could only blow out a little wind. The efficiency is too low…”
Swish, Swish, Swish!
The flying iron bar continued to spin and finally, with a thud, embedded itself a third of the way into the wall of a building on the side of the road.
Nearby onlookers were alarmed, and they scrambled to the side, standing on one leg in panic as they stared at the Iron Rod embedded in the wall, still emitting faint wisps of smoke. They were terrified, imagining what would have happened if the Iron Rod had hit them… their noses dripping with fear.
“Look out for other people’s safety, you little brat!” Other bystanders shouted angrily at Liam.
“Oh?” Liam looked over, “Sorry.”
“You’re still watching others?” Smoker’s Jitte was already coming towards him, aiming for Liam’s head.
This time Liam didn’t dodge. He raised his arms to block the metallic Jitte, and the impact made a loud clang.
Smoker’s eyes widened in surprise!
This boy’s arms… they’re as hard as iron! Are those really human arms?!
Taking advantage of Smoker’s momentary distraction, Liam used his arms to forcefully twist the Jitte, striking upward with his palm and landing a blow directly on Smoker’s chin!
“Why didn’t you turn into Smoker?” Liam grinned, “Could it be that you didn’t react in time, Marine Nii San?”
‘That annoying little brat!’ Smoker turned into a cloud of smoke, enveloping Liam, but Liam flipped backward and used his amazing speed to disappear again.
Liam appeared beside the Iron Rod embedded in the wall and pulled it out.
His intimidating presence and sudden appearance caused the onlookers to retreat, leaving a clear space of several meters around him.
“The Marines are coming?” Liam looked down the street and saw a large group of uniformed Marines approaching, “And more coming from the other side… are they bringing reinforcements?”
Smoker aimed his Jitte at Robin, who seemed more quiet compared to Liam.
This girl is the Captain! The boy Giorno was troublesome, but I wonder how formidable this girl Captain is?
Smoker had to be careful.
From the beginning of the fight until now, unlike the boastful Giorno, this girl Captain… had remained completely calm!
Could it be that she completely disregarded the Marine’s authority?!
Smoker’s frustration grew!
He was frustrated not only with Chopper Giorno but especially with the calm and seemingly indifferent Jolyne.
If dealing with just one crew member like Giorno was so difficult, how could a mere girl pirate Captain look down on him?
With that in mind, Smoker’s determination to fight the girl named Jolyne grew even stronger.
Robin continued to maintain her calm demeanor…
Allowing Liam’s ghost to control her body, she seamlessly executed Liam’s techniques with fluid and natural movements…
Using Soru to maneuver, using Tekkai to block…
She even seized the opportunity—『B.I.B.』 took the chance, making Robin lift her leg and strike like a blade, sending a whirlwind flying towards Smoker, slicing him in half at the waist.
Smoker, staring at the smoke swirling around his severed waist… felt a shock. This girl Captain was evidently even more formidable than Giorno!
What technique was that?
Flying Slash?
But the girl clearly isn’t using a sword! Did she just kick out a slash?!
“Left hand.” Robin suddenly muttered to herself, then she charged towards Smoker.
The pitch-black mask on Robin’s face, which didn’t obstruct her vision, glowed with white light as her eyes followed her movements. Her left arm, covered in blue flame patterns, reached out towards Smoker’s chest!
Puff… Robin’s left hand passed through Smoker’s chest, not grabbing anything.
Because it’s a cloud of smoke, she couldn’t grasp his Devil Fruit? Robin looked back as Smoker’s torso had turned into a cloud of smoke.
Thud, Thud, Thud!
Marines rushed from both ends of the street!
“Staff Sergeant Smoker!” The Marines in the front, holding guns, shouted in frustration, “Stop acting alone! You… you’re moving too fast for anyone to keep up!”
Leading them was a burly Marine officer wearing a Marine hat, with a cigar in his mouth, whose face was somewhat kind. He shouted loudly, “Smoker, are you okay?”
“Stop your nagging! Catching the pirates is what matters!”
Smoker felt annoyed and grumbled with the cigar in his mouth, waved his Jitte, and transformed back into smoke to charge at Robin again.
“Another smoker?” Liam glanced at the incoming Marine officer, weighed the Iron Rod in his hands, and called out, “Captain! Use your abilities to think of something!”
‘Why is he saying that again?’ Robin glanced back at him helplessly.
At that moment, 『B.I.B.』, understood the intent instantly, as he opened a portal to the Shiro Shiro no Mi (Castle-Castle Fruit) on her chest.
As Smoker charged at Robin…
A mass of white material emerged from the floor of the portal in Robin’s chest, which quickly solidified into… a giant fan!
The enormous curved blades, when spun, could generate a wind much stronger than Liam’s Iron Rod!
Although it lacked any precise mechanisms and couldn’t be electrically activated… this was created by 『B.I.B.』, a part of the City fortress, so 『B.I.B.』 could naturally control its movements freely!
The blades began to spin automatically…
Whoosh, Whoosh!
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!
Robin was amazed to see a gust of wind erupted from her chest. As the wind passed through the Shiro Shiro no Mi (Castle-Castle Fruit) ability’s range, it intensified— turning into a powerful hurricane that blasted towards Smoker!
“What?!”
Smoker was shocked as he was swept away by the gale, scattering in all directions and flying high into the sky, disappearing down several streets in an instant.
“Smoker!”
Marine Colonel Yamakaji, leading the group, shouted through his cigar and drew his sword to charge forward.
Liam leaped into action, bringing the Iron Rod down on top.
Clang!
Marine Colonel Yamakaji raised his sword to block.
“Such force!” He was privately stunned.
“What are you trying to do to our Captain?” Liam pressed down with the Iron Rod, then twisted his waist, kicking his legs up towards the sky, and stomped forcefully upward!
Bang!!
The immense impact caused Liam to slam downwards, and Yamakaji, holding the sword, was caught off guard and fell to one knee.
