...

Garp's eye twitched. He'd forgotten about the Celestial Dragons Noir had captured!

Noir, a faint smile playing on his lips, called down to Garp, "There are ice spikes below. I'm going to drop him~"

Garp, seemingly unconcerned, continued to charge towards Noir.

He didn't care about the Celestial Dragon's life, and Noir cared even less!

Lifting the squealing Celestial Dragon, Noir hurled him downwards.

The World Noble plummeted, his screams of terror echoing through the air.

Garp's powerful fist sent Noir reeling back, but he couldn't help but glance at the falling Celestial Dragon.

Sengoku had given him specific instructions before he left...

"Tch."

Garp clicked his tongue in annoyance, abandoning his pursuit of Noir and diving after the Celestial Dragon.

Just in the nick of time, before the World Noble could be impaled on the ice spikes, Garp swatted him to safety with a mighty backhand.

The Celestial Dragon tumbled across the ice, his fat face contorted in rage. "I'm a Celestial Dragon! How dare you treat me like this!"

Garp picked his nose, ignoring the outburst.

Anyone who could truly threaten Garp probably wasn't even born yet.

Meanwhile, Noir, having successfully diverted Garp, caught up to the Ark Maxim, which had sailed a considerable distance. He turned back to Garp, a smug grin on his face. "Farewell, Mr. Vice Admiral."

The Ark Maxim crackled with blue lightning, its twin paddle wheels churning as it accelerated.

"Oh, and one more thing," Noir added, snapping his fingers. A gentle breeze ruffled his dark hair, revealing a triumphant smile. "Never make the mistake of underestimating me."

Garp's heart skipped a beat at Noir's words. He whipped around to look at the ranting Celestial Dragon beside him.

As if responding to a command, the World Noble's body began to convulse violently.

The shadow beneath his feet writhed and detached itself, flying back towards Noir.

The fate of a shadowless person exposed to sunlight was a foregone conclusion.

"No! Stop!"

The Celestial Dragon's screams turned to shrieks of agony as his body, bathed in sunlight, rapidly disintegrated into a pile of ash.

The Marines were horrified, but Garp remained calm, his eyes narrowed. "Moria's ability..."

Onboard the Ark Maxim, Noir toyed with the shadow in his hand, absorbing it back into his body.

This was Noir's remotely activated assassination technique, exploiting the weakness of shadowless beings to sunlight.

He'd extracted the Celestial Dragon's shadow and replaced it with an artificial one he could control. This allowed the World Noble to walk in the sunlight undetected.

But whenever Noir wished, he could remotely recall the shadow, instantly ending the person's life.

Looking at the pile of ash that remained of the Celestial Dragon, Noir's voice boomed across the distance, "Thirty-four left. Tell Sengoku not to push me too far!"
