"Next, it's time to hunt other targets."
Looking at the kill points with a balance of 0, Lucifer started his next hunting action.
Fajru Island is a famous free port in the first half of the Grand Line. Apart from Renault the Leopard, Adam the Bloodaxe, and Paul the Cutter, there are many other targets worth hunting on the island. Although the kill points obtained by defeating them are not as great as those from the Big Three, they are still better than nothing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as Lucifer was about to go to his next target location, artillery bombardment suddenly erupted from the distant coastal port. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the coastal port quickly turned into a sea of flames.
Countless pirates, gangsters, and human traffickers fled in all directions, screaming.
"What's going on?"
Lucifer leaped onto a tall building.
Seeing the sea not far from the port, he spotted three warships approaching.
"Why did the Marines come here?"
Lucifer stood on the roof of a tall building, his eyes narrowing slightly. On the sea, three warships were attacking quickly, including a warship of the highest specification along with two cruisers. The gunfire from the warship fired in unison, with countless shells being launched to bombard Fajru Island indiscriminately.
The highest specification warship likely carried at least one Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral on board. Thus, this operation was led by a Marine Vice Admiral.
"Vice Admiral Dauberman, our indiscriminate bombing may harm civilians. Is that really acceptable?"
On the warship, a colonel approached Dauberman and asked nervously.
"It doesn't matter. Fajru Island is full of lawbreakers, and there are no civilians here."
Dauberman replied in a low voice.
"But there may be bounty hunters among them. They..."
"Are you questioning my decision?"
Dauberman glared, revealing a trace of killing intent.
"No, I wouldn't dare! It was a slip of the tongue."
The Marine colonel's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly fell silent, not daring to say more. The hawk-like Marine Vice Admiral was known to execute his subordinates without hesitation. No more nonsense, and he'd be dead faster than any pirate.
Dauberman snorted coldly. "Even bounty hunters are still a group of restless elements, all of whom are targets that the Marines want to eradicate! Practicing absolute justice isn't as simple as talking about it."
Dauberman looked at Fajru Island, where the sea of fire was raging in the distance, his eyes calm and without any waves. He was a hawk within the Marines. In order to eradicate evil and hunt pirates, he would kill without hesitation, even if it affected civilians. Moreover, since there were no civilians on Fajru Island, Dauberman would not hesitate to issue an order for its destruction.
"Send me an order to destroy everything on Fajru Island, ensuring that no lawbreakers can escape!"
"Yes, Lord Vice Admiral!"
The colonel saluted respectfully and left quickly to convey the order.
After the order was given, the artillery bombardment of the three warships intensified. As an island known for harboring outlaws, Fajru Island was notorious in the first half of the Grand Line. In the eyes of Naval Headquarters, Fajru Island was like a cancer that needed to be eradicated. But this time, three pirate crews with bounties over 100 million had gathered on the island, further strengthening Naval Headquarters' resolve to flatten it. Hence this operation.
With Vice Admiral Dauberman leading the team, along with two Marine Rear Admirals and thousands of Marines, it was more than enough to crush Fajru Island.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The artillery roared and resounded endlessly. The sea of fire spread from the port; half of the town was engulfed, and the island became a purgatory on earth. Countless pirates and traffickers were killed by the shells, and many more were burned to death in the flames.
Screams echoed one after another, and mourning filled the air.
"Hey, hey, that's a mini Buster Call!"
Lucifer stood atop a clock tower, looking at the sea of flames below his feet, feeling a little speechless.
A Buster Call involves five Marine Vice Admirals, ten Marine Rear Admirals, and 10,000 Marine elites, along with ten warships, conducting an indiscriminate and destructive attack on a target location, completely eradicating all people and objects in the area. This is the largest military operation of the Marines and is only used once in many years.
What the Marines were doing now was essentially the same as a Buster Call, just with fewer Vice Admirals and slightly less firepower. But in essence, it was the same: to destroy everything on the island.
"I really drew the short straw."
Lucifer shook his head, waving a hand dismissively. Judging by the Marine's posture, it was evident they did not intend to let any living creature on the island escape. Lucifer was also on their must-kill list.
"It seems my hunt has come to an end. The Marines really excel at headhunting."
Lucifer felt a little helpless. The dead pirates and gangsters represented potential kill points in his eyes, but now, those points were gone.
"Forget it, let's find other targets."
Lucifer's body shook, and two wings sprouted from his back. The wings were pitch black, with extremely sharp edges, exuding a malevolent aura. This was the devil's wings that came with the hell demon, not the power of the Word Spirit Fruit.
Flapping the devil's wings, Lucifer transformed into a gust of wind, soaring into the sky as he flew directly out to sea.
