As Alvin and Robin turned and walked away, Isa's body suddenly trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.
A few seconds later,
She struggled to her feet. Her fair chest was already soaked in crimson blood.
"I never expected that having my heart on the right side would save my life…" Isa spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
Her face was pale as paper. The heavy blood loss made her look even more fragile, yet she carried a tragic and haunting beauty.
In the next instant, her expression twisted with endless resentment.
Her hatred toward Alvin had spiraled out of control, becoming something close to obsession.
He had not only ignored her beauty and pulled the trigger without hesitation, but more importantly, her once full left breast had now been destroyed.
"Garfield Alvin! You had better stay alive for me, because your life is something I will personally take!" Isa growled through bloodstained teeth.
Afterward,
She removed a coat from a dead CP agent and draped it over her body. Then, staggering unsteadily, she made her way back toward the city. If she remained here any longer, the wild beasts would emerge.
Without the support of Isa and the CP agents, the remaining gang members were no match for Alvin and Robin.
After breaking out of the forest, they did not head straight for the sea. With no one left in Sagamia capable of threatening them, it was time to plunder.
Alvin had no intention of staying poor.
An hour and a half later, the two arrived at the shoreline. With sufficient supplies secured, it was finally time to depart.
Alvin lowered the jet ski into the water. Robin unfolded the sea chart, checked the compass, and pointed west.
"To the west…"
"Understood. Get on."
Alvin mounted the jet ski first. Robin followed, sitting behind him.
"Alvin, your ability is truly rare. Even a space type Devil Fruit is extremely uncommon. It is incredibly convenient," Robin said with genuine admiration, wrapping her arms around him.
Even now, she believed Alvin possessed a space type Devil Fruit ability.
Alvin did not correct her.
After pressing the ignition button, he spoke over his shoulder. "Hold on tight, Robin. I am starting."
As soon as he finished speaking,
He felt her grip tighten around him.
Without hesitation, he twisted the throttle, and the jet ski shot forward across the sea.
"Oh!"
"Now I can finally ride freely on the ocean!" Alvin shouted excitedly.
Robin could not help smiling as well.
"Hehe…"
"You do not need to go so fast, Alvin. Safety first. We are both Devil Fruit users," Robin reminded him gently.
Watching seawater spray high into the air behind them, she still felt a trace of unease.
"Relax, Robin. I am an excellent driver."
"Driver? But this is a boat."
"It is a boat, but that does not prevent me from being a good driver."
"…Fair enough."
…
Sagamia Mayor's Office.
Under the protection of several gang leaders, Isa had returned. Manipulating these sycophants was effortless for her.
She dismissed their attempts at concern and immediately reported the situation to King Gallos. There was no way to conceal what had happened.
When King Gallos learned that Zelas had been killed and that even World Government CP agents had died within his territory, he experienced a complicated reaction.
However, since the deceased were World Government personnel, he had no choice but to report the matter to Marine Headquarters at Marineford.
----
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
After receiving King Gallos's report from the Asriel Kingdom, a meeting was convened regarding Nico Robin and Garfield Alvin.
The meeting was presided over by Brannew and attended by several Vice Admirals.
At that moment, Admiral Aokiji also entered the conference room, claiming he was bored and wished to observe.
The meeting proceeded.
In the center of the room hung Nico Robin's bounty poster alongside a photograph of Alvin.
Brannew held a pointer and indicated Robin's bounty first.
"Nico Robin. I believe everyone here is already familiar with her. Once again, she has stirred up major trouble in the Asriel Kingdom of West Blue."
"In this incident, the Mayor of Asriel and six World Government CP agents were killed."
"And the mayor who died was previously part of the faction protecting her. However, he was ultimately killed due to Nico Robin's betrayal."
After Brannew finished speaking, Vice Admiral Dalmatian spoke.
"As expected of the survivor of Ohara. Wherever she appears, chaos follows."
"A bloodline stained with such sin will only bring more disorder to the seas. She should be eliminated entirely," Vice Admiral John declared angrily.
"Indeed…"
"… "
One after another, the Marine officers voiced their opinions.
"What about that other individual, Garfield Alvin? What is his background?" Aokiji asked lazily, lifting the sleep mask from his eyes.
"Yes, Admiral Aokiji," Brannew replied respectfully.
All eyes turned to Alvin's photograph.
Brannew shifted the pointer.
"Garfield Alvin. Male. Fifteen years old. Suspected space type Devil Fruit user. Specializes in long range sniping. Born in the Cortes Kingdom. Both parents were gang members."
"His mother abandoned him at the age of one. His father was killed in a gang firefight when Alvin was five. He was subsequently raised by his grandmother."
"Recently, during another gang conflict, his grandmother was caught in the crossfire and killed."
"Garfield Alvin later killed the gang leader in retaliation and was pursued as a result. He fled the Cortes Kingdom."
"His next confirmed appearance was in the Asriel Kingdom. There, he was severely injured and rescued by Nico Robin, who had been in hiding. This led to the current incident."
"They escaped Asriel using a small high speed vessel. Its speed far exceeds that of standard Marine warships."
"At present, their destination remains unknown. Intelligence suggests that the CP agent captain was killed through their coordinated efforts, as was the Mayor of Asriel."
"That concludes the report."
"A fifteen year old space type Devil Fruit user must be dealt with immediately," Vice Admiral Doberman said gravely.
"Agreed."
"Then the amount…"
"Set it at 30 million Berries. He is associated with Nico Robin, after all."
"Agreed."
…
The meeting concluded with the approval of Garfield Alvin's 30 million Berry bounty.
Throughout the entire meeting, Aokiji spoke only once.
Afterward, he quietly left Marineford alone.
