"Sakazuki, though not yet at the level of a general, possessed the formidable strength of an elite lieutenant general or even greater within his department. Chen Fan, wielding his escape plan as a trump card, had recently achieved the rank of lieutenant general in his headquarters. This battle need not have happened if Sakazuki hadn't been injured.

As time passed, Chen Fan grew increasingly restless, fully aware that the longer he delayed, the more perilous his situation became. There was no doubt that he stood no chance against Sakazuki. In fact, at this moment, he was barely surviving against the might of Sakazuki.

It was clear that Chen Fan's sudden burst of power was short-lived. Sakazuki spoke, exuding an air of complete control. 'Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve?'

Chen Fan's expression held a fierce determination. He had planned meticulously until now, and he refused to be recaptured. He also realized that escaping from prison only to be caught again would likely lead to his death.

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Fan was prepared to fight to the death. 'Armament. Aoyi. Overlord Fist.' His aura surged to its zenith, his blood and qi roiled, the green tendons on his right fist bulged, and the strength of his entire body converged at a single point. With this, he launched a blackened fist toward Sakazuki at incredible speed.

Sakazuki, however, remained cool and collected. He allowed the magma to condense on his right hand, turning it as black as ink. With the might of his entire being, he sent the magma-coated fist hurtling forward. The fiery magma transformed into a colossal dog mid-air, swallowing Chen Fan's blackened fist.

The collision was explosive, scattering debris in every direction, obliterating everything in its path. The shockwaves rippled outward. The immense power left Chen Fan feeling overwhelmed. Less than a few seconds into this clash, he was hurled away by the magma dog, crashing to the ground with a gaping wound.

It was clear that Chen Fan had sustained severe injuries in this encounter.

However, Sakazuki, being his relentless self, showed no mercy. 'Your end has come, wicked pirate.' With these words, he advanced, his fist enveloped in blazing magma, and directed it at Chen Fan.

Struggling to stand, Chen Fan attempted to retaliate but was overwhelmed by fatigue, combined with the substantial injuries he had just sustained. There was no way he could stop Sakazuki's punch. The moment the punch was about to land, Chen Fan suddenly found himself saved.

A massive figure appeared before him.

It was Budek, who had recently regained consciousness. His gigantic bear paw, charged with formidable power, stood between Chen Fan and Sakazuki. Budek's arms bore bruises as he took the brunt of the hit, and the massive bear paw plunged forward.

However, realizing the danger they were in, Chen Fan didn't hesitate and cast 'Shave.' He ran toward the sea. Sakazuki, determined to catch him, couldn't afford to let Chen Fan escape. As a Devil Fruit user, he feared the sea.

Seeing that Chen Fan had leaped into the ocean, Sakazuki was eager to pursue. However, he was grabbed by a scorched hand. 'With me here, you won't get to chase him. Go!'

It was Budek, who still had some life left in him. He clutched Sakazuki's right foot with all his strength. Turning his attention to Chen Fan, who was already some distance away, Budek shouted, 'Run!'

Chen Fan turned to see Budek, who was barely holding on to life, his heart heavy with gratitude for the sacrifice. 'You're a true hero,' he muttered.

Sakazuki wasn't going to let them get away so easily. 'A single naval rebel general dares to challenge me. It's like seeking death.'

Sakazuki's right fist ignited with burning magma as he punched toward Budek, who had managed to delay him. But this act of bravery had severely injured Budek. His hands were stained with blood, and he'd been pushed back several meters from the sheer power of Sakazuki's punch.

However, Budek wouldn't back down. His eyes were unwavering, his determination unshaken. 'With me here, you won't be able to chase after him,' he declared.

But Sakazuki was angered by the opposition. 'You can die, wicked pirate,' he spat, as he attacked again, delivering another punch with his magma-infused fist.

Chen Fan couldn't bear to see this act of heroism end in vain. 'No!' he cried out. But he knew he had to escape.

With a heavy heart, Chen Fan dove into the sea, recognizing that his only chance at avenging his master lay in escaping. At the port, Sakazuki watched as Chen Fan swam out nearly a hundred meters and then vanished beneath the surface."
