Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 220 Fugitive List

After a bit of roughhousing, everyone was lying on the ground, panting, including Chopper, their pet.

What started as a fight between two people eventually turned into a brawl involving a group of people, thanks to the "helpful reminders" from the crowd.

At first, everyone except Luffy and Zoro attacked them in perfect unison, but after a short while, everything changed after Sanji kicked Zoro...

As expected, Zoro immediately shifted his focus of attack to Sanji, and somehow it turned into a chaotic melee.

Of course, Kyle didn't get involved; he left the recliner before Luffy and Sabo even rushed over.

He didn't want to "play around" with these guys; it was pointless. He'd rather use that time to find Zeff and get something to eat.

When Kyle returned, full and satisfied, he found everyone looking like dead dogs.

With a wave of his hand, Kyle suddenly created a large, clean tablecloth on the ground in front of him.

With another wave, a large pile of steaming hot food appeared on the tablecloth.

"This is food I just got from Uncle Zeff, to replenish your supplies after the battle!"

Before Kyle could finish speaking, Luffy, who had been lying on the ground panting heavily as if he were about to die, suddenly jumped up and then spent 0.01 seconds teleporting to the tablecloth.

Without the slightest hesitation, his hands moved like blurs, and in the blink of an eye, a large pile of food on the tablecloth vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Luffy instantly transformed from a skinny guy into a big fat guy.

"Burp~"

Luffy patted his belly, let out a burp, and couldn't help but sigh:

"That felt so good!"

(⊙o⊙)...

w(ﾟДﾟ)w！

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their pupils widened to be bigger than copper bells, and they all jumped up from the ground.

Sabo immediately rushed in front of the chubby Luffy, jumped up and clung to him, grabbing Luffy's clothes which were stretched taut by his increased size, and roared angrily:

"Luffy, you bastard! You ate all this food by yourself, leaving none for us!!"

"Burp~"

Luffy let out another burp and glanced at Sabo indifferently.

"Who told you to dawdle? Is it my fault?"

"Are we dawdling?!"

Sabo was so angry he laughed.

If they're considered slow and indecisive, then probably no one in the world, except Luffy, is slow and indecisive.

Damn it, was there even a five-second gap between Kyle taking out the food and you finishing it?

"Don't panic, I have more here!"

At this moment, Kyle spoke up calmly, waved his hand, and another large pile of steaming food appeared on the tablecloth.

As the eldest brother, as the captain.

Kyle knew Luffy's appetite perfectly well, so it was impossible that he only had that little bit of food.

Even disregarding Luffy, the others also have quite large appetites.

Or to put it another way, almost everyone in this world with a slightly stronger power has a very good appetite.

Is it possible to unleash such a powerful attack without being fully fed?

Seeing that there was still food, everyone finally turned their attention away from Luffy, otherwise they would have had another free-for-all fight.

And this time, without a doubt, it was a gang fight.

Seeing the desire reappear in Luffy's eyes as he reached for the food, Ace, Sanji, and Law reacted quickly, leaping out in an instant to stand in front of Luffy.

The three of them then moved in unison.

A straight kick!!

Three feet simultaneously landed on Luffy, and a tremendous force erupted from their feet, instantly blasting Luffy away.

After eliminating Luffy, their "biggest threat," the group sat down on the ground around the tablecloth and began to enjoy their meal.

After a while, everyone lay down on the ground again.

Unlike before when they were panting, this time everyone had a satisfied expression on their faces, each of them subconsciously touching their stomachs, looking completely relaxed.

"This is delicious! Uncle Zhefu's cooking has gotten even better!"

Zoro's tone was tinged with emotion, but he immediately turned his gaze to Sanji on the other side, his eyes instantly turning disdainful.

"You curly-browed lecher, when will your cooking skills ever be even half as good as Uncle Zeff's?"

"After following Uncle Zeff for so long, the stuff I make isn't even a third as good as his! Useless!!"

Upon hearing this, Sanji's eyes blazed with fury. He immediately turned his gaze to Zoro and retorted without hesitation:

"Hey, you green-haired guy, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Since when did you become qualified to critique my cooking?"

"Wait until you figure out the way before you talk. Don't stay in Marineford for so many years and still get lost in town. It's embarrassing!"

"Also, if you think my cooking is no good, please bring your own food next time you go out to sea, and don't eat what I cook!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro's face instantly turned ashen, but he didn't know what to say, nor did he dare to say anything.

If Sanji simply said that he got lost, even if that was indeed the case, he would still have to retort to Sanji.

But Sanji's subsequent words hit his weak spot!

This made him afraid to even refute.

Therefore, the people you absolutely cannot offend on a ship are the cook and the doctor. The former will not cook for you, and the latter will not treat you if you are injured.

This is... far too frightening!

After lying there for a while, Luo seemed to have thought of something and turned to Kyle, asking:

"Captain, have you compiled a list of the powerful prisoners who escaped from Impel Down this time?"

"Um!"

Kyle nodded and began slowly and deliberately:

"Katarina Devon, nicknamed 'Crescent Moon Hunter,' is a Mythical Zoan-type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit user, known as the most dangerous female pirate in Impel Down's history!"

"Avalo Pizarro, nicknamed 'The Evil King,' was one of the greatest pirates of the previous era!"

"Bax Jott, nicknamed 'The Barrel,' a legendary criminal with an insatiable alcoholism!"

"Bondy Wald, nicknamed 'World Destroyer,' is a user of the Momo-Momo Fruit! A legendary pirate from the old era!"

"Baroric Redfield, nicknamed 'The Lone Red,' is also one of the legendary pirates of the old era. He once single-handedly rivaled Roger and Whitebeard, and even defeated our Navy's former Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Sky!"

"These... are all pirates who escaped from Impel Down!"

"As for the rest, apart from Kaido and Bullet being re-imprisoned in Impel Down, all the prisoners died on the battlefield!"

"In terms of the outcome, our navy has achieved a resounding victory this time!"

But in my heart...

"But for some reason, I feel a little uneasy~"

Kyle spoke softly, and the others fell silent upon hearing this.

To be honest, although they weren't as humiliating as Luffy and Sabo, they didn't gain the upper hand when facing powerful enemies on the battlefield.

Ultimately, this led to the escape of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

If they had been stronger back then, could they have captured some of the pirates?

Overall, the Navy did indeed win a great victory, but personally, letting those pirates go made them very unhappy.

Not only them, Kyle had the same idea.

The appearance of Bondi Wald caused Kyle's plan to deviate significantly; otherwise, as long as Garp and the others could hold off Whitebeard and Big Mom, etc., things would have been much better.

He can handle the rest of them himself.

But that guy, Bondi Wald, was a bit too strong for Kyle in that state, which is why Kyle couldn't chase after those pirates.

and so--

Kyle remembered Bondi Wald as a good man very clearly.

Although it's only the second day after the battle, Kyle is different from the others. While the others haven't recovered much from their injuries, Kyle's condition is already fully restored.

After all, all he needed to do was recover his physical strength and energy.

But isn't restoring physical strength and energy something that can be solved simply by having a big meal and then taking a nap?

Bondi Wald had better stay put somewhere and not make a sound, otherwise Kyle would definitely come over immediately.

You like saving people, right?

I've scattered your ashes!

After a long pause, Zoro suddenly asked:

"Do you have specific information on these escaped prisoners?"

Although Kyle's words suggested that these escaped prisoners were not ordinary, no one knew their names.

They are certainly well aware of the pirates currently active in the world, but most of these prisoners were arrested more than a decade or even decades ago.

There is no publicly available information about these people in the Navy, so naturally, people don't know much about them.

Kyle slowly opened his hand, and the next second, a stack of documents appeared in his hand.

"Here you go, these are the files on those guys!"

Kyle spoke calmly and handed the documents to everyone.

He had already read through the information once, since his understanding of these guys was quite limited before.

There's nothing we can do about it; the original story doesn't provide much information about them.

Although characters like Catarina Devon joined Blackbeard's pirate crew in the original work and are considered somewhat significant, the manga doesn't mention their specific past experiences.

So Kyle naturally had to find out the situation himself.

Of course, there were other escaped prisoners, but they were not as heavy as them.

And one has to admit, he truly lives up to his reputation as the guy who decisively followed Blackbeard in the original story; his decisiveness is undeniable.

It's fair to say that Kyle didn't spot any of these guys on the battlefield, except for one person: San Juan Wolf!

Nicknamed "Giant Battleship," he is a colossal giant, comparable in size to an island, and is also one of the members who joined the Blackbeard Pirates in the original work.

But he died on the battlefield and did not escape with the other prisoners.

That's perfectly normal; with that guy's size, it's hard for him not to be noticed.

Kyle didn't seem to care much about the escape of these Blackbeard Pirates members from the original story.

These guys have impressive-sounding names, but their actual abilities are just so-so!

This is the case for almost everyone; their fame exceeds their actual ability.

Of these people, only two truly deserve Kyle's attention, one of whom is Bondi Wilder, whom Kyle cherishes dearly.

Having fought Bondi Wald in person, Kyle was probably aware of his opponent's strength; he was very strong, and in his prime, he was probably not much weaker than Kyle is now.

But that refers to Bondi Wald's peak fighting ability when he was young.

Even if Bondi Wald adapts to his body now, his strength will definitely not reach the peak level he had in his prime.

At such an advanced age, do you still want to maintain peak combat power?

Are you kidding me!

Do you think you're Garp?

Besides, even Garp has been eroded by the years to some extent. His peak strength in his youth was definitely stronger than it is now.

At least when fighting Garp, Kyle never saw him use the Infinite Fist Bone technique that he used against Rocks in God Valley.

Kyle once asked Garp why he didn't use it, and Garp's answer was simple.

The problem arises with age; using the Infinite Fist Bone technique takes a heavy toll on him, and its power is not as great as it was at its peak.

Of course, another reason might be that Garp felt it was just a friendly sparring match and there was no need to use his trump card moves, otherwise it would be bad if someone got killed.

Therefore, a fully healthy Kyle is not afraid of a Bondi Wilder who is not at his peak.

Even if the opponent is at their peak, Kyle is still not afraid. Who's afraid of who?!

Besides Bondi Wald, another player Kyle should take note of is Lone Red – Baron Ryderfield!

This guy was even more famous than Bondi Wald back in the day, and was one of the pirates whose individual strength truly stood at the pinnacle.

He was one of the very few great pirates of the old era who could shake the world order with his own strength.

However, Barolorik Redfield has aged considerably due to years of imprisonment and the effects of time, resulting in a significant decline in his combat effectiveness.

And his purpose...

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Bat-Bat Fruit, Vampire form!

Kyle wasn't particularly interested in the fruit, but since the topic had come up, he was quite interested in a tanuki.

Of course, the tanuki here doesn't refer to Chopper, but to a real tanuki.

That is, Paton, whom Baron Redfield met after his prison break. Paton is a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit) user in Tanuki form!

This fruit is an extremely powerful and ruthless Devil Fruit in Endless World R.

Padon uses her tail as a pen to write the name or draw the image of the target person on a leaf, which will trigger a materialization, creating a physical clone that matches the memory.

The created characters are based on Padon's memories and information, including appearance, physique, moves, and even Devil Fruit abilities (such as Robin being able to decipher Poneglyphs and Whitebeard being able to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit). The clones will strictly follow the user's instructions.

Of course, Kyle didn't know much about the specifics, because there was very little information available about this part.

Therefore, Kyle didn't know how strong the clone he created was, but Kyle thought he could go and find this tanuki.

We'll find out just how powerful this fruit is then...
