"This…"
On Renji's side, every Marine had already been defeated by Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, and Eustass Kid.
Renji was the only one still standing.
Kid looked at him with confusion.
"Judging by the uniform, he is just a regular Marine."
"So how is he still standing?"
"Did he not attack earlier?"
Law and Luffy were also surprised.
[You picked up Devil Fruit Growth Experience!]
Renji did not respond to their confusion.
He picked up the last attribute orb lying on the ground.
Feeling the change in his strength, he shook his head slightly.
The feeling was similar to leveling up in a game.
His experience bar had reached ninety nine percent but had still not advanced.
"No."
Law immediately shook his head when Kid questioned it.
"I have been observing him."
"This guy charged with the Marine troops many times."
"But he is strange. Every time he somehow avoids all our attacks."
Law's expression grew more serious.
"Kid, Luffy."
"This person should be a strong fighter."
"I do not think he wants to fight us. The Marines are already surrounding the area again. Instead of fighting someone who clearly does not intend to oppose us, we should just leave."
"What we need to do now is…"
Before Law finished speaking, Kid had already rushed forward.
"You bastard, fall down!"
As he spoke, Kid's right arm formed a massive metal arm several meters wide.
Guns, blades, and almost every metal object nearby were attached to it.
"You want trouble with me?"
Renji looked slightly surprised.
He had no intention of continuing the fight.
Normally the Supernovas would not bother with a mere Marine soldier.
"Are you all this aggressive?"
Renji looked somewhat amused.
"No wonder you belong to the protagonist generation."
He spoke calmly.
Cracks appeared across both of his hands.
This time he used the Tremor power normally.
Even if they were Supernovas, they were still just Supernovas.
Renji was already at Yonko commander peak level.
If he used too much strength they might die instantly.
He threw a punch.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Kid's massive metal arm shattered instantly.
The guns and blades forming it were destroyed.
After breaking Kid's attack, Renji stepped on the ground and lightly pushed himself upward.
He leaped into the air.
Then he kicked Kid directly in the face.
Bang!
Kid rolled several times and crashed into a nearby mangrove tree.
The massive trunk shook violently.
Renji's tremendous strength embedded Kid deep into the tree.
In that state, without help, Kid could not escape on his own.
"See?"
Law sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"I told you he was not a simple Marine, yet you still had to cause trouble."
Law walked over to the tree.
He spread his right hand and expanded his domain again.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"ROOM!"
The ability activated.
Kid's body was instantly extracted from the tree trunk.
As a doctor, Law quickly checked Kid's injuries.
His expression turned surprised.
Kid looked miserable but had no serious injuries.
This confirmed Law's suspicions even further.
"He is definitely not an ordinary Marine."
"He is probably an undercover agent placed inside the Marines by some faction to observe what happens at the Sabaody Archipelago."
"So let us not provoke him."
"I have already experienced that."
Kid nodded at Law's lecture.
However his gaze remained fixed on Renji.
"But the person you should be persuading is not me."
Not you?
Then who…
Law's confusion lasted only a moment.
He immediately thought of someone else.
"Do not tell me…"
He turned around.
Sure enough.
Luffy had already rushed toward Renji.
"Gear Third. Gum Gum Giant Pistol!"
A massive fist shot toward Renji.
"Seriously?"
Renji felt even more speechless.
Had Luffy not seen what happened to Kid just now?
Their strength was roughly similar.
Even if Luffy was the protagonist, did he really think he could win with plot armor?
A dark purple color covered Renji's hands.
Although these three were weak compared to him, they were still the highlight of Sabaody.
Letting them continue causing chaos was the best outcome for Renji.
Because of that he could not seriously injure them.
Against Kid he could use the Tremor power since Kid had a metal arm.
Against Luffy he could not.
Renji's Tremor ability had already reached a high level.
If Luffy took a direct Tremor strike at his current level, his arm would likely be destroyed.
Boom!
Luffy's Gear Third punch collided with Renji's Armament Haki coated fist.
"The strength is not bad."
Renji felt Luffy's power.
After all the giant transformation gave him incredible force.
For a moment Renji almost failed to block it.
But that was only the first instant.
A sharp light flashed in Renji's eyes.
A vein bulged on his forehead.
The power transmitted into his fist instantly increased tenfold.
Boom!
Luffy was sent flying.
Just like Kid earlier, he smashed directly into another giant mangrove trunk.
The location was right beside Kid.
"You two idiots…"
Law could only sigh.
"ROOM!"
The domain expanded again.
Using the same method as before, Law pulled Luffy out of the tree trunk.
"Luffy, did you not see how embarrassing Kid looked just now?"
"Since he is not our enemy, why provoke him?"
Kid frowned slightly at Law's comment but said nothing since Law had just helped him.
"But he is just an ordinary Marine."
Luffy looked excited.
Even after being rescued he still showed no intention of calming down.
Kid nodded deeply beside him.
He had thought the same thing earlier.
"But…"
Law sighed helplessly while looking at the two of them.
"Do you still think he is an ordinary Marine?"
