One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 72 – Najenda’s Betrayal!?

Chapter 72 – Najenda's Betrayal!?

---

"Ice Age!"

Kuzan's body began to crystallize, slowly turning into solid ice. A bone-chilling cold instantly spread across the battlefield, freezing everything in its path.

Even the flames on Tsukuyomi were snuffed out by the frost.

Ace, who was still engaged in combat, stumbled back as the freezing aura engulfed the area.

"You've gotta be kidding me, old man!" Ace barked, gritting his teeth. "You really needed an Admiral just to fight me?"

"Tch. I'm out. I'm not dealing with this bullshit."

The moment Kuzan activated Ice Age, Ace quickly backed off, retreating from the battle. Fortunately for him, Garp's attention wasn't on Ace right now, which gave him the perfect chance to escape.

Given Ace's identity and the current situation, chasing him down wasn't a priority. The real threat was the man standing calmly in the middle of the icy fog—

Ryuunosuke.

A strange, otherworldly energy swirled around him, creating a protective barrier that kept the frost at bay. Had it not been for that, Ice Age would've frozen him solid.

"Oh? That was your big move?" Ryuunosuke smirked as he slowly stepped out of the mist, completely unaffected. "Not gonna lie—recycling these tired-ass attacks? Kinda boring."

Kuzan, who had just returned to his elemental form, moved quickly to distance himself from Tsukuyomi. But before he could react further, Ryuunosuke casually strolled up beside the frozen creature.

Raising one hand, he placed it gently on the ice.

BOOM!

The massive sculpture shattered like glass under his touch.

In the blink of an eye, Tsukuyomi reformed behind him—completely intact, as if Kuzan's attack had never happened.

Kuzan's expression grew darker. He'd clearly sensed Tsukuyomi's aura vanish during the earlier exchange... but now it was back. As if nothing had happened at all.

"Dammit," Kuzan muttered.

"Hold him off, Kuzan!" Garp suddenly barked from a distance. "I'm going after the others. I'll come back and help you when I'm done."

Without another word, Garp turned and sprinted toward the other battlefront, where Gion and the other were locked in a fierce fight.

They were being stalled by Hawkins and Najenda, while Kuina and Akame tore through the Navy like they were slicing paper.

If Garp didn't step in now, the entire naval task force could get wiped out.

Despite being women, Kuina and Akame were ruthless in battle—cold, calculating, and efficient.

But then again, who wouldn't fight back when the Navy came knocking to take your head?

"Najenda! Garp's heading your way!" Hawkins shouted in warning. "Keep your guard up—don't get killed!"

"Thanks for the tip!" Najenda yelled back, continuing her relentless assault on Tokikake.

With Susanoo backing her up, she was absolutely overwhelming the veteran Vice Admiral. Despite his rank and experience, Tokikake couldn't keep up.

If he hadn't been tough as nails, Najenda would've crushed him by now.

Suddenly, Garp landed on the warship with a loud boom, immediately locking eyes on Akame.

He had been using Observation Haki throughout the fight and had already identified her as a top threat.

Akame was infamous for her one-strike kill technique. If you let her swing that sword, you were done.

Garp had one goal—get that blade out of her hands.

"Death," Hawkins muttered grimly.

His cards had already predicted it.

Whether it was Akame, himself, or even the Dragon Hunter Pirates as a whole... the future showed only death.

But it was strange.

The vision was absolute death, yes—but hidden within it was a bizarre glimmer of life. As if something was quietly defying fate.

When Hawkins looked back at Ryuunosuke, he noticed something strange—the man looked calm. Completely unbothered.

For some reason, seeing that expression gave Hawkins a sense of peace. If Ryuunosuke wasn't panicking, then maybe... just maybe, it wasn't over yet.

Still, he turned back to face Gion. He had to keep her occupied, no matter what. She was strong—too strong for him to take lightly.

Even after taking a hit from Chrollo earlier, Gion's battle prowess remained terrifying.

Right now, if the Dragon Hunter Pirates had a weak link... it was Hawkins himself.

"This is it, little girl," Garp said, grabbing Akame's wrists with terrifying force.

"You're not a Devil Fruit user. This is the only way I can catch you."

CRACK!

Without hesitation, he snapped her arms, then slapped seastone cuffs onto her wrists.

With the chain looped tightly, he tossed her aside like trash.

"One down," he said coldly. "Next up—Kuina."

Though Kuina's swordsmanship was elite, she couldn't break through Garp's Armament Haki. His fists were like iron.

Before long, she suffered the same fate—arms broken, chained up, and dumped on the deck.

As Garp finished cuffing the second woman, Najenda smiled faintly.

"Well then," she said, backing away from Huoshaoshan. "If I defect right now... do I still have a chance?"

Before anyone could respond, she teleported—reappearing instantly behind Hawkins.

Susanoo materialized and seized him by the head.

THWACK!

With a sickening crunch, Hawkins collapsed, blood pooling beneath him.

Everyone froze.

Gion's eyes widened. Tokikake stood in stunned silence.

What the hell just happened?

"You're betraying the Dragon Hunter Pirates... hoping to cut a deal?" Garp asked slowly, voice low and dangerous.

His expression darkened.

That was her partner—murdered right in front of him.

"Not enough?" Najenda raised a brow. "Then how about one more?"

Before anyone could react, Susanoo grabbed another figure—Ace.

The poor bastard had barely escaped one fight, only to be captured again.

This time, Najenda bound him with a seastone chain as well.

"Old man! What the hell?!" Ace shouted, panic creeping into his voice. "Why is she betraying us now?!"

He looked at Garp desperately.

He'd spent enough time aboard Ryuunosuke's ship to know everyone's personalities. Sure, they were all eccentric as hell... but loyal?

They were die-hard loyal to Ryuunosuke.

So why now? Why was she doing this?

"He's just a pirate," Garp said, almost mechanically. "Why do you—"

CRACK!

Before he could finish, Ace's head was crushed like a melon in Susanoo's hand.

Blood sprayed across the deck.

Two kills. Both her own crewmates.

"If that's still not enough..." Najenda said, her eyes cold and empty, "I'll kill my captain next, if that's what you want."

Just then, Akame and Kuina reappeared in front of her—teleporting without a trace.

No sound. No warning.

Just cold silence.
