Chapter 93: Chapter 86 A Humbling Lesson
"Are you really going to kill him?"
The CP0 captain's voice was low and venomous, his entire body exuding a menacing aura. It was as if he were ready to attack Satoru at any moment.
"Satoru, just teach him a lesson. If he dies, things will get messy," Garp interjected with a stern tone.
Satoru floated effortlessly above the battlefield, his white hair swaying lightly in the breeze. He glanced at the concerned faces of Garp and the others. "Why do I feel like I'm being painted as the villain here?" he thought to himself.
While Satoru's tone was lighthearted, his mind recalled the battle vividly. The CP0 agent, codenamed White Fox, had fought with the intent to kill. Every strike, imbued with malice, could have been fatal if not for Satoru's unique abilities.
"I wouldn't kill him," Satoru finally said aloud, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Just wanted to give him a little scare and teach him a lesson."
"Hmph." The CP0 captain snorted, his posture rigid but unable to refute. Satoru had offered him an exit, albeit with a sting to his pride.

A Final Humiliation
On the ground, the defeated White Fox trembled as he reverted to his human form. His once-pristine confidence had shattered, replaced by terror etched across his face.
Suddenly, Satoru's figure disappeared.
Before anyone could react, Satoru reappeared in front of the White Fox. His movements were so swift that even Garp and the CP0 captain failed to keep up.
"What—"
Satoru's foot slammed down on White Fox's head, pinning him to the ground. The act wasn't lethal but thoroughly humiliating.
"Remember," Satoru said coldly, "never underestimate the Navy. Especially its admirals—because each one of us has the power to crush you."
He twisted his foot lightly, scuffing White Fox's face further before stepping back.
"You—" The CP0 captain's fury surged as he darted forward, but Zefa's voice cut through the tension.
"Enough," Zefa said firmly. His presence alone seemed to weigh on the air. "Your man started this. Take him and leave."
The CP0 captain clenched his fists but knew better than to argue. Even he, with his high status, could not afford to provoke Garp, Zefa, and the admirals gathered here. He gave a curt nod, dragging the battered White Fox to his feet.

Aftermath
As the CP0 agents left, Garp let out a booming laugh. "You've made us proud today, Satoru!"
The surrounding marines, including Zefa and the other admirals, nodded in agreement. Satoru's performance had been nothing short of spectacular.
The marines understood the significance of what had just occurred. White Fox wasn't just any CP0 operative. With the rare Nine-Tailed Fox Devil Fruit, a Zoan of the Mythical variety, his power was expected to rival the strongest in the world. Yet, Satoru had crushed him with ease.
"The CP0 underestimated you," Zefa said, a rare smile tugging at his lips.
"Let them underestimate us again," Satoru replied, smirking. "They'll learn."
Even Akainu, usually stern and unimpressed, gave Satoru a grudging nod of respect.

Reflections on Power
The marines discussed the rarity of Mythical Zoan fruits. Each user of such fruits was considered a force of nature.
- **Marco**, the Phoenix, was the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard's right-hand man.
- **Kaido**, the Azure Dragon, was one of the Four Emperors and a near-unstoppable powerhouse.
- **Sengoku**, the Buddha, was a former Fleet Admiral and a living legend.
The Nine-Tailed Fox fruit wielded by White Fox undoubtedly ranked among these legendary abilities.
"Shame he didn't have the skills to match," Garp said, shaking his head.
Satoru, however, knew this victory wasn't just about raw power—it was about strategy, confidence, and the ability to push limits.
"Let's see what challenge comes next," he thought, his smirk widening as he gazed out to sea.
