In Peter's perception,
two distinct auras erged—one to the northwest and one to the southwest of Baratie.
The one with the stronger energy must undoubtedly be Hawk-Eyes mihawk.
As for the other, it was slightly weaker, surrounded by many smaller auras. Judging by the numbers, it was likely a large ship.
But this confused Peter. According to the original story, aside from Hawk-Eye and Krieg, no other party was supposed to arrive at Baratie at this point.
Even stranger was that the intensity of that aura didn't match the typical power level of the East Blue.
Although he had expected that his presence might trigger a butterfly effect, Peter hadn't thought the changes would co this fast.
"Interesting... In addition to Hawk-Eye, soone else has shown up to help gain fa."
While Peter was speculating about the identity of the newcor, events were already unfolding inside the restaurant.
Just like in the original story, Gin had brought his captain to Baratie, hoping to get enough food.
Though the guests and chefs—who had co out of the kitchen due to the commotion—wanted to take the opportunity to see the infamous pirate Krieg,
Sanji, who had once known the pain of starvation, insisted on feeding Krieg out of loyalty to the chef's code, despite everyone's objections.
Naturally, once he was full, Krieg "repaid" Sanji in his own way.
He used his Thunder Harpoon and heated knife to strike Sanji hard, knocking over several tables.
That was the second ti Sanji had been knocked to the ground that day.
Strangely, this ti he collapsed right at Peter's feet.
Had Peter not stopped him with his foot, his dining table would've been overturned.
Krieg, now fully recovered, had no idea he had just offended soone he absolutely should not have.
Looking around at the people who trembled just at the sight of him, Krieg sneered with deep disdain, feeling a twisted thrill from the power of the strong over the weak.
But that disdain quickly faded when he saw Peter, Robin, and several won calmly sitting at two adjacent tables, eating and chatting quietly. What he saw sparked a deep rage within him—those looks of contempt in their eyes.
"Drink!"
"Bah!"
Krieg suddenly shouted, smashing the table next to him, then tore off his coat to reveal the golden armor underneath, and roared at Peter and the others:
"You dare eat so calmly in front of , the great pirate Krieg?
You've got guts!
Do you think I can't harm you just because my n haven't arrived yet?!
Answer !"
At that mont, Mikita muttered with a curious tone:
"Who is this guy? He's been noisy since the mont he got here."
Hina leaned back, placed her hand on the chair's backrest, looked down at Krieg, and said slowly:
"Hina rembers him... Krieg, captain of the Krieg Pirates, with a bounty of 17 million Belly."
Carina, who was born in the East Blue, quickly added:
"This man commands 50 ships and 5,000 n. He's a real pirate and a ruler of the East Blue!"
"A pirate worth 17 million? A ruler of the East Blue?"
Mikita looked shocked, then clutched her stomach and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Sothing like that gets a 17 million bounty and is called the ruler of the East Blue?
What's going on in this sea anyway? It seems so backward!"
Mikita's laughter brought the entire restaurant to silence. Everyone stared at her like she was insane, wondering why she'd laugh at such a mont.
Krieg's face darkened like a storm cloud, his tall body trembling, like a volcano about to erupt.
Even Vivi couldn't stop herself from trying to calm her:
"Sister Mikita, it's best if you stop talking... I think he's about to blow."
But before Mikita could reply, Krieg's cold voice ca:
"No need to wait... I'm already furious.
You've pissed off!
GO TO HELL!"
In the next instant, over ten gun barrels erged from his shoulders, waist, and arms, all aid at Mikita and the won around her.
Everyone shut their eyes in fear.
Among the Straw Hat crew, Usopp ducked under the table and covered his head, while Zoro gripped his sword's hilt.
Nami cursed inwardly:
"Idiots!"
Then she looked worriedly at Carina, who seed deeply affected by Mikita's "foolish" behavior, tension rising.
At the very mont everyone thought the won were dood...
Mikita dropped her sarcasm and did sothing no one expected—
She activated her weight reduction ability and leapt from her chair with incredible speed.
Before anyone, even Krieg, could react, she had already jumped straight toward his head.
"Let an East Blue villager witness the power of people from the Grand Line!
Moon Step · Ten Thousand Kilograms · Guillotine!"
At that mont, Krieg tried to lift his head, but the re ntion of the Grand Line seed to freeze him,
or maybe Mikita was simply too fast for him to comprehend.
All anyone saw were the girl's long legs rising into the air, then coming down with full force.
The heel of her tall white boot slamd down hard onto Krieg's head.
The blow was so powerful that Krieg's eyes bulged as if they were going to burst. His tall body couldn't withstand the pressure.
Everyone heard a loud crack from his knees, and Krieg collapsed face-first to the floor.
BOOM!!!
The entire Baratie shook, as if an earthquake had struck.
Everyone clung to their tables and chairs to avoid falling.
But they didn't even have ti to react to the shockwave—
Their attention was instantly drawn to Krieg,
whose upper body had been driven into the ground, completely motionless.
And to the blonde girl, who was now calmly turning around, as if she had just disposed of a piece of garbage with zero effort.
"How... how could Admiral Krieg be defeated by a girl?!"
"And with just one strike! Just one blow to finish that monster!"
"Who the hell are these people?!"
At that mont, even the coldest minds realized—
Peter and his companions were anything but ordinary.
