Chapter 326 Fishing Boy
New World.
Sea Area.
A raft, simply made of a few thick pieces of Timber, drifted on the Sea Surface.
On the Sail hanging from the Mast in the center of the raft and fluttering in the wind, a skull and crossbones pattern with crossed Dual Swords behind it and a red stripe across the right eye could be faintly seen.
"Hey, Shanks, you guy! Hurry up and put me down!!!" A male voice filled with agitated Emotion suddenly echoed from the raft that looked like it could fall apart at any moment. If Nicholas were present, he should be able to recognize that this was the voice of the great Buggy.
"What what? The Wind is too strong, I can't hear what you're saying!" Shanks, wearing a Straw Hat, Sailor suit, and slippers, sat cross-legged on the raft, forcefully gripping a Fishing Rod in one hand while putting the other hand to his Ears as if listening. And beside him were a pair of Foot. A pair of Foot in the truest sense, just a pair of Foot jumping around without legs or Upper Body.
"Shanks, you big **bleep bleep**" Following the source of the Sound, one could see at the very end of the Fishing Rod in Shanks' hand, a young man of about the same age was hanging, tied up. He was constantly struggling and cursing, especially his red nose, which was particularly memorable.
"Hey hey, Buggy, you guy, if you hadn't accidentally dropped all the Bait into the Grand Line, would I have done this? Alright, stop talking, Fish are coming." Noticing the movement under the Sea Surface, Shanks immediately said to Buggy.
"Is it a big Fish?" Suddenly hearing Shanks say Fish were coming, Buggy couldn't help but have stars in his Eyes, looking expectantly at Shanks who stood up from the raft. The current Shanks was no longer the Apprentice Crew Member he once was. Through constant hard Training and continuous Sparring with other Crew member, Shanks' Strength had become comparable to some guys with a Bounty of over a hundred million on the Grand Line.
"Not a big Fish, Sea Kings!" When he saw the Shadow rapidly approaching under the Sea Surface, Shanks said excitedly in a loud voice. He knew that the Protein contained in Sea Kings was 70 times that of Beef, and the Flavor was also quite good. This one would be enough to eat for a while.
"Eh..." Buggy was stunned for a moment when he heard Shanks' Words, and then suddenly realized that he was the Bait at this moment. If Sea Kings swallowed him in one gulp and then dived directly into the Seabed, Shanks would definitely not be able to save him. Wouldn't he then turn into Fish Feces?
"Shanks, quickly let this great me down, you bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep~" Just as Buggy was cursing Shanks for being dishonorable and unethical, the Sea Surface beneath him suddenly broke open, and then a Giant with a bull Head, hundreds of meters long, rushed towards the raft to bite down.
Looking at the eyeballs as big as himself, and the Gaping Maw with sharp teeth, and even being able to smell the fishy smell coming from the Bull-Head Sea King's mouth, Buggy was so frightened that tears and snot flowed down his Face, and he even performed a wave of Exaggerated Facial Expression.
It could be said that if such a big guy hit the raft, this shoddy raft made by Shanks would definitely fall apart. And at that time, as an Ability User, whether he fell into the Sea or was swallowed by Sea Kings, it would be a dead end. Thinking that his great Ideal had not yet been realized and he was about to die because of the stupid Shanks, Buggy instantly turned ashen-white.
"God Avoidance!" Almost as the Bull-Head Sea King was about to swallow Buggy into its mouth, a Sound suddenly came from the side, and then a fierce and violent Aura flew past Buggy. The powerful Power even made Buggy's clothes flutter loudly. And the Bull-Head Sea King, before it could even Reaction, its entire Form was sent flying in a V-shape, split down the middle.
"Shanks, you guy, do you know that I almost fed the Fish!" Buggy, who had been put down by Shanks, angrily grabbed Shanks' collar and shouted loudly. He really thought he was going to see the Sun God Nika just now.
"Isn't everything alright now? Besides, don't you know my Strength? Not to mention these Small Sea Kings, even large Sea Kings I can easily handle." Shanks said with a Smile as Buggy grabbed his collar and shook him wildly.
"Alright, it's time to go back, everyone is waiting for dinner." After Buggy had vented enough, Shanks finally spoke. Then, he took off his clothes, jumped directly into the Sea, picked up a thick Rope, and dragged the raft and the Sea Kings fixed to the raft towards the Island in the distance.
As the two approached the Island, they saw a tall figure standing on the Shore, gazing in their direction.
"Nozdon!" Buggy waved his hand excitedly, obviously the Person who appeared on the Coast was an Acquaintance.
"Yo, good harvest? Bull-Head Sea King again, looks like we're in for a treat today." Looking at the Sea Kings dragged ashore by Shanks, Nozdon showed a Smile on his Face. Although his physique made him look unapproachable, those who knew him well knew that he was a very reliable guy.
"Nozdon, what happened?" Looking at Nozdon, Shanks couldn't help but ask. A guy like Nozdon wasn't someone who could hide Things. His slightly different behavior from usual made Shanks realize that something must have happened.
"Let's go back and talk." Saying this, Nozdon directly carried the Sea Kings, which was hundreds of meters long and weighed hundreds of tons, on his shoulders and walked towards their Base.
Before they even approached the Base, they heard fierce arguments erupting from inside the Base. It should be known that this was completely impossible in normal Time. Shanks glanced at Nozdon, and Nozdon showed a helpless Exaggerated Facial Expression.
When Shanks entered the Golden Jackson, he saw Elio and Spencer on the Ship arguing fiercely, and the other Crew member beside them also had solemn expressions.
"So are we just going to do nothing!?" Spencer said loudly, with his other hand pressing down on the Headline Photo of the Newspaper placed on the Wine Barrel.
"What's wrong?" Shanks asked quickly as he saw this. He was no longer an Apprentice Crew Member now. He had the Qualification and obligation to participate in this kind of meeting.
"Shanks, take a look at this first." Elio said to Shanks with a rather helpless tone. Walking up to Elio and Spencer, under the guidance of Elio's Finger, Shanks' Gaze fell on the Newspaper.
"Bullet that guy attacked Rayleigh and Jabba? And the Battle between the three of them destroyed most of Sabaody Archipelago?" Shanks' Gaze paused for a moment, then he looked up at Elio, his Eyes full of doubt. Obviously, he couldn't figure out why Bullet suddenly attacked Rayleigh, but then he realized that Bullet was a Madman, and nothing a Madman did was unexpected.
"Not that Aspect, it's the Headline of the Newspaper." Jackson Banner said to Shanks. As the Newspaper in his hand turned over, when he saw the Headline News, Shanks' Eyes couldn't help but widen, and at the same Time, an incomparably powerful Aura from his body swept uncontrollably towards the surroundings.
Facing Shanks' Abnormality, the People on the Ship were not too surprised.
"Uncle Nozdon, what's wrong with Shanks that guy? Is he trying to slack off?" Buggy, who was dismantling the Sea Kings with Nozdon, couldn't help but ask.
"Buggy, hurry up and work, your Devil Fruit Ability is very convenient for processing Ingredients. Shanks and the others..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 327: Delivering a Message
Shambles Archipelago, Tree Island No. 7.
Not far away on the Sea Surface, a Pirate Ship was slowly sailing towards the Shore of Tree Island No. 7.
At the Ship's Bow, a man with flowing Long Hair, wearing a white bone Mask, and tightly gripping a giant Scythe in his hand, was currently standing at the Ship's Bow, looking solemnly at the Shore that was getting closer and closer to the Ship.
Even though there wasn't a single figure on the Shore at this moment, this man, who was the Captain of the Pirate Crew, was still full of vigilance.
And the other Crew member on the Deck were all the same, as if they were wary of terrifying Enemy who might suddenly appear from that dilapidated Island and take their lives at any moment.
After all, with the ruckus caused by those three, many Big Shot of various Force in Shambles Archipelago are now full of anger with nowhere to vent.
Neither Bullet, Rayleigh, nor Jabba were people they could easily deal with, so naturally their Fury was also directed at some small Pirate Crew.
If they could, they really didn't want to come to Shambles Archipelago, but if they didn't come to Shambles Archipelago, they wouldn't be able to complete the Coating of their Ship, and naturally they wouldn't be able to go to the New World.
However, as the Ship successfully Dock, the Pirate on the Deck exchanged silent glances, and they could all see the relief in each other's Eyes. Their Luck was good; they hadn't encountered those Big Shot in a bad Mood.
"Anchor."
After a moment, the man standing at the Ship's Bow spoke.
Hearing the Command, two Crew member immediately turned the winch and threw the heavy Anchor into the Seawater.
Accompanied by a dull sound of water breaking, the Ship was officially docked here.
The Captain let out a breath and said fiercely, "Everyone be careful. After going ashore, quickly complete the Supplies. Once the Coating Craftsman is found, return immediately. Don't cause Thing, and be careful not to get into conflicts with others. Shambles Archipelago is very dangerous right now."
"Yes!"
The Crew member responded one after another, obviously they also knew that Shambles Archipelago was a dangerous Place right now.
Just as the people on the Ship had just disembarked and were planning to act separately, they heard the anxious voice of the Lookout from the Crow's Nest on the Mast.
"It's bad, Captain Tata Kai, a group of Navy is coming from the north, and they are rushing towards us at high Speed!!!"
"What? Why would the Navy come here!? Could it be that they know we would land here!?"
The man called Captain Tata Kai's expression changed drastically, obviously shocked by the sudden appearance of the Navy.
Shore.
Vice Admiral Kentucky, who was in charge of the Navy Branch Base of Tree Island No. 7 in Shambles Archipelago, took the lead and rushed to the front.
"Hurry, all of you move faster!!!"
"This time, kill all those Weapon for me!"
Vice Admiral Kentucky, with his Whitebeard and Glasses, had Blood Mark in his Eyes, like a Wild Beast that hadn't eaten for days, fiercely staring at the Pirate Ship docked at the Shore of Tree Island No. 7, which was gradually showing its outline.
It can be said that since Bullet, Rayleigh, and Jabba made a big disturbance in Shambles Archipelago, the World Government was furious, and the Navy was furious.
In the end, in Shambles Archipelago, they even dispatched an outrageous Force, and all Tree Island were dispatched Navy to be stationed, determined to show the Pirate some Color.
In addition, with Red Count Redfield being captured and Pirate King Roger being captured, the Navy's Reputation can be said to have reached an unprecedented height.
And he was the highest Navy person in charge of stationing Tree Island No. 7. One can imagine how much of a Disgrace it would be if his colleagues knew that Pirate had landed in the Place he was stationed.
"Yes!!!"
The Navy closely following Vice Admiral Kentucky were obviously also very clear about this. Each of them was like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they were sprinting with all their might.
In a Battle with an Elite Headquarters Vice Admiral in command, what difference is there between this and picking up Military Merit for free? As long as you run a little faster and shout a little louder, are you still afraid of not getting Military Merit?
On the Shore, a group of Pirate stared dumbfounded at the hundreds of murderous Navy who had sprinted to their vicinity in a short moment.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the Pirate seemed to see green light in the Eyes of this group of Navy.
That kind of Gaze was like the Gaze they had when they encountered Merchant Ship on the Sea and Plunder Town, looking at those Female.
"Damn it, I... just arrived!"
"What do these Navy want to do!"
It can be said that the performance of these Navy was the first time they had seen it in their long Pirate life.
"Cluck Cluck Da Pirate Crew, Captain Tata Kai, Zoan Type Bird-Bird Fruit Three-Yellow Chicken Form Ability User, you are surrounded, surrender!"
Vice Admiral Kentucky's Gaze was fixedly staring at Tata Kai, who was holding a giant Scythe, as if he had seen his Arch-Enemy.
"I've said it many times, I'm not a Chicken, I'm an Eagle! Cluck Cluck Da!"
Hearing Vice Admiral Kentucky's Words, Tata Kai immediately argued angrily, and at the same time, a pair of Wings behind him directly broke through his clothes and revealed themselves.
And accompanied by the flapping of Wings, Tata Kai also levitated half a meter above the ground. It wasn't that he didn't want to rise higher, but that he could only rise to this Degree.
Just as the two sides were in a Stand-off, a strong man, wearing a black-patterned white bear-eared hat, holding Books in his hand, and with a tall stature, appeared out of thin air on the Shore.
At the moment of his appearance, a Dust Cloud rolled up at the man's feet and slowly dissipated.
"Hmm?! Tyrant Kuma, how could it be..."
Looking at the man who appeared out of thin air, a look of shock suddenly appeared on Vice Admiral Kentucky's Face.
The person who came was unexpectedly Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, who was currently in the limelight at Sea.
Ignoring the shocked Reaction of the group of Navy, Kuma stepped with heavy steps and went straight towards the direction of Tree Island Number 13, never once looking directly at this group of Navy on the Shore.
And these Navy, watching Kuma's Action, did not rashly stop him. After all, this guy was the famous Tyrant Kuma, and completely not someone they could deal with.
If they took Action, it wouldn't be them earning Military Merit, but rather increasing Kuma's Bounty.
So the Navy could only watch Kuma's receding back.
Ten minutes later.
Kuma came to the Tree Root of Tree Island 13, slightly raised his head, and in his Eyes reflected the Tree Branch of the Yalqi Man Red Tree of Tree Island Number 13 that had been directly broken in the middle, as well as the architectural outline of Shakky's Rip-off Bar, which was obviously rebuilt.
"We're not open for business here. Come again next time."
Just then, the door of the Bar opened, Shaki walked out from inside, and said to Kuma.
And Rayleigh also flashed out, looking surprised at Kuma standing there.
"Tyrant Kuma?"
"Rayleigh..."
Kuma raised his head to look at Rayleigh, sizing up the Right Hand of this Pirate King.
"If there's anything, let's talk over there."
Rayleigh glanced at Shaki, then took the lead and walked towards the distance. Obviously, the Aftershock of the previous Battle with Bullet had destroyed Shakky's Bar, making the Shopkeeper's Mood very unhappy.
"Okay."
Kuma nodded, and then silently followed Rayleigh.
After a moment,
the Two people arrived at a secluded Place.
"Nicholas asked me to bring you a Words."
Kuma opened his mouth and went straight to the point.
Rayleigh looked at Kuma calmly and asked, "What Words?"
"He plans to Surprise Attack Mary Geoise, or more accurately, during Roger's Execution, to see if he can kill a few of the Five Elders, and asked if you want to join."
"..."
Rayleigh couldn't help but fall into Silence upon hearing this.
"I understand."
"Mm."
After getting the reply, Kuma also directly turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 328 Supernova Urouge
And Bear, besides delivering a message to Rayleigh, had more important things to do.
"Finally, a Big Shot has arrived."
On Sabaody Archipelago, a Figure suddenly appeared in front of Bear.
Bear looked at Urouge in front of him and said, ""Mad Monk" Urouge. Born from Sky Island, Captain of the Fallen Monk Pirates, one of this year's Supernova, with a Bounty of 103 million Berries."
"I heard Tyrant Kuma is powerful, want to try?"
Urouge narrowed his eyes as he looked at Bear in front of him, and said with a Smile.
"Why?"
Bear calmly looked at Urouge in front of him and asked.
Urouge blocked his path and proposed to have a fight, which Bear had not expected.
Moreover, from Urouge's expression and demeanor, Bear saw confidence.
It was not blind confidence, but confidence that he was sure he could defeat himself.
Not far away, on the Yarukiman Mangrove trunk, Donquixote Doflamingo, who had received a report from his subordinates that Urouge had appeared in Shambles, came to watch the show immediately.
Donquixote Doflamingo watched Bear and Urouge with Interest.
In his view, Bear's Strength naturally goes without saying, daring to attack the World Government and refusing to pay Celestial Tribute, and still being active on the Grand Line already explained many things.
And Urouge, one of this year's Supernova, even his comprehensive Ability is quite excellent in Donquixote Doflamingo's view. He came this time also with the idea of recruiting talents for the Donquixote Family.
After all, the Situation on the Grand Line is becoming more and more Turmoil now, and it is also very necessary to appropriately strengthen the Family's Strength.
But unexpectedly, he originally planned to recruit Supernova, but instead saw this Scene.
And the Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates behind Urouge, when they saw that the person their Captain was blocking was Tyrant Kuma, they all looked at their Captain in shock.
"Captain, calm down!"
"That's Tyrant Kuma, Captain, you'll be beaten to death."
"Captain, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, or should we wait until our Strength is stronger before fighting against opponents of this level."
"Yes, Captain, think twice!"
Many Crew member wearing Cape were frantically advising Urouge from the Side.
Urouge's Smile, which was overflowing on his Face, couldn't help but freeze a little because of his subordinates' actions.
For him, choosing Tyrant Kuma as an Opponent was after careful consideration.
Then Urouge directly ignored the advice of the Crew member beside him and directly grasped that giant pencil-shaped Weapon in his hand.
"It's over, the Captain is Seriously."
A group of Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates looked at Urouge who showed Fighting Spirit, all with bitter Complexion.
In their Inner Thoughts, Urouge's Strength is very strong, otherwise if he wasn't strong, he wouldn't have become this year's Supernova.
But the problem is, the Strength of Bear in front of them is even stronger, in other words, this guy is almost not a Person, and from his Nickname, you can know how tyrannical Tyrant is.
Urouge ignored the Gaze of the Crew member looking over, holding the giant pencil horizontally in front of him with both hands.
"Bear, let me see your Strength."
He stared intently at Tyrant Kuma, who was in the limelight on the Grand Line in front of him, with a glint of light flashing in his Eyes.
Since leaving Sky Island and coming to the Blue Sea, he has not relaxed at all.
He has been cultivating almost every moment.
This is also thanks to Nicholas who helped him lay the foundation for getting stronger at that time, so that his Strength could achieve rapid progress.
Now, whether it is Stamina, Haki, or Devil Fruit Ability, they are all different from the past.
"..."
Bear looked at Urouge in front of him and said.
"As you wish."
As the News of Bear's encounter with Urouge spread, many people quickly approached the Tree Island where the two were located.
One side is a Monster famous on the Grand Line, and the other side is this year's dazzling new star.
Although they do not know the Reason for the two to confront each other, they are very much looking forward to the wonderful performance brought by the Slaughter between the two, and the result of the Slaughter.
On the field.
"Indeed extraordinary, worthy of being called Tyrant Bear, just standing there makes me shudder, hey, no wonder those World Government guys want you to take the position of Seven Warlords of the Sea..."
Urouge Gaze at Bear standing quietly in the distance, and said.
"..."
The Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates under Urouge looked at each other.
At this Distance, they could not Feel anything shuddering or hair-raising from Bear, but the term Seven Warlords of the Sea still caused huge Disturbance in their Inner Thoughts. After all, with the promulgation of the Seven Warlords System and Crocodile's performance, it has already made the Pirates who originally underestimated the Seven Warlords System realize it.
That is, the guys who can be granted the Title of Seven Warlords of the Sea by the World Government are all Monsters with terrifying Strength. Considering Tyrant Kuma's widespread notoriety and the World Government's invitation to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea, they felt that retreating a few hundred meters further might be safer.
Of course, this is not because they are cowardly, but to leave enough Position for the Battle between the Captain and Bear.
On the Yarukiman Mangrove trunk, less than 500 meters away from where the two were.
The Bounty of 250 million Berries Sea rogue Donquixote Doflamingo, while playing with the silk threads in his hand, watched Bear in the distance intently.
"Is your Strength really as powerful as the Rumor says?"
At this moment,
Urouge took the lead in launching an Attack on Bear.
It was not that he wanted to strike first, but the mountain-like pressure from Bear standing quietly there was overwhelming. If he didn't strike, he would probably completely lose his Fighting Spirit.
Urouge gripped the giant hexagonal pillar, rushed towards Bear, and then mustered Full Power to swing it towards Bear's Face.
The whole Process was straightforward and decisive.
However, facing Urouge's Strike, Bear merely extended his Left Hand, and the oversized pencil that came with great Force was frozen in mid-air, only the Strong Wind generated by the swing brushed across Bear's Face.
"He only used one hand... no, he didn't even move his Foot."
Urouge looked at this Scene in disbelief.
And the Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates who had been paying attention to the Battle between Urouge and Bear in the distance also couldn't help but feel cold all over when they saw this Scene.
You must know that Urouge has always been known for winning with Brute Force, but now his Strike swung out with all his Strength was actually blocked by Bear with one hand, and it was even difficult to make Bear move his Foot.
How could this be...
The Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates had a dull Complexion. In their view, Urouge's Bounty is 103 million Berries, and Bear's Bounty is 280 million Berries. Even if there is a Gap of 180 million Berries, it shouldn't be so Outrageous.
Not far away.
Other People watching the Battle also noticed the embarrassing Situation Urouge was facing.
"How is this possible? How can the Gap be so big!"
Almost all of them gasped at the same Time, and their Complexion almost changed at the same Time.
As a highly anticipated Supernova, the attention is naturally not small. After all, as long as these guys do not fall or are captured by the Marine midway, then after training in the New World for a year or two, at least they can reach the level of senior Officer under those Monsters in the New World, and some are even fully qualified to challenge those Monsters.
Therefore, for these future Potential stocks, there is a lot of definite Intelligence. And in Urouge's Intelligence, in addition to Devil Fruit Ability, the most eye-catching thing is his terrifying resistance to hits, and extraordinary Brute Force.
But what did they see now? Bear only used one hand, or rather, his Left Hand, to steadily block the Attack that Urouge swung out with all his Strength. What do people on the Grand Line usually call this kind of person? They call them Monsters.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 329 Bear Appears
Doflamingo was also taken aback, the silk threads he had been playing with in his hand also stopping.
With Urouge as a reference, they had a clearer understanding of Bear's Power.
This made many people deeply apprehensive, knowing that Bear's most terrifying aspects were not the Power and Stamina brought by his physique, but his bizarre Devil Fruit Ability.
Outside the Arena Center.
The many Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates and the onlookers were dumbfounded.
Inside the Arena Center.
Urouge's Arm, Neck, were all bulging with veins as thick as fingers, while his Face was also flushed red due to the rush of blood.
However, even with his all-out, continuous attacks, he still couldn't shake that one Palm.
No matter how he attacked, no matter how fast or powerful his attacks were, they were all easily defused by the casual wave of that Palm.
"Truly… a despairing Gap."
Urouge uttered these Words with difficulty, but the rugged Face still maintained a gentle Smile, seemingly not taking this Despair to heart.
On the other side of Urouge, Bear also remained Calm, as if he didn't take this Battle seriously.
Feeling Urouge's Emotion, Bear was not in a hurry to swat Urouge away. He had plenty of Time this time, and he also wanted to see what kind of Surprise Urouge could bring him.
This was quite a rare Action for Bear.
After all, Bear's methods towards Pirates had never been gentle. Just like that Pirate Crew with a total Bounty exceeding 500 million, it could be said that it left a huge Shadow on many people who later boarded that Pirate Ship.
Of course, for Bear, the main Reason he didn't directly eliminate Urouge was because when he was reading the Biography written by Brook, he had seen Urouge mentioned inside.
Seemingly realizing that his Weapon was ineffective against the opponent, Urouge simply thrust the Giant Steel Pillar in his hand into the Ground, and then directly intended to engage in Melee Combat with Bear, bare-handed.
The Giant rhomboid Steel Pillar stood motionless on the Ground, and so did Bear. It was just that the Books that Bear had been holding had been put away at some point.
Then, the Palms of the Two people directly grasped each other's Palms, and they began a test of strength.
Not long after the test of strength between the two sides began, Urouge's Complexion gradually flushed red, obviously approaching his Limit.
However, Bear's huge Form standing there was like an insurmountable peak, standing there coldly and ruthlessly.
"Completely different level…"
Feeling the enormous resistance, Urouge's Mood was quite heavy.
This was the second time he had encountered someone as powerful as a Monster.
The first time he encountered it was in Sky Island, and it was also at that Time that he had the Thought of coming to the Blue Sea.
The adventures in the Blue Sea for such a long Time had made him feel that when he faced those People again, he wouldn't be so powerless.
But now, the feedback he received in front of Bear was making him powerless, making him feel Despair.
Even such a Weapon was not his Opponent, then what about Vistad who was even more terrifying than him?
But isn't this precisely his purpose in coming to the Blue Sea? To constantly become stronger, stronger, and then catch up with that Man's pace!
Thinking of Vistad's Figure as dazzling as the Sun, Urouge still maintained a Smile on his rugged Face.
"If it were the past me, I might not know how to adapt, but now I am very clear that facing a Monster as strong as you, if I don't adapt, there is only a dead end. I am very clear about this…!"
Urouge finally gave up the Thought of competing with Bear in Power.
After all, the word Monster was not just for show.
Facing Urouge's Words.
Bear looked down at Urouge and said faintly: "Haven't you noticed yet?"
"Huh?"
Urouge was stunned, and when he looked up, his Line of Sight fell on Bear's Calm Face.
Bear met Urouge's gaze directly, and the Corner of Mouth slightly raised.
"No matter how much Power you pour in, you can't shake me. All your Actions are Futile, this is absolute Strength Gap."
"Hehe…"
The Smile on Urouge's Face remained.
He could understand what Bear meant, this was purely absolute suppression in terms of Strength, but he wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
Urouge's Gaze towards Bear suddenly sharpened, and he grinned, revealing his White teeth, and chuckled: "What a Monster-like Weapon indeed, no wonder those guys in the sky always look ugly when they mention Blue Sea People, but even so, I still want to try, even if the possibility is very low."
"For example?"
Bear looked at Urouge Calmly.
Urouge didn't speak again, but suddenly withdrew his Hands.
Taking advantage of the moment he pulled away from Bear, Urouge turned sideways, and at the same Time pulled his Right Arm back behind him, clenched his Fist, and black Armament Haki quickly covered it.
Boom!
Urouge swung out a Fist with Full Power, hitting Bear's Chest solidly.
Along with a muffled impact Sound, a Air Wave was set off between the Two people, pouring out towards the surroundings.
"Hit him!?"
Countless surprised gazes looked towards the Two people in the Arena Center from all around.
Then, what they saw was Bear, who was still standing there, his Body motionless.
Urouge's seemingly impressive Fist couldn't even make Bear take a step back.
Maintaining his Fist posture, Urouge's Eyes contained a hint of Surprise, the expected "flying scene" did not happen.
Urouge's Gaze slowly moved up from the point where his Fist landed, and looked at Bear's Calm Face.
Bear lowered his Head and looked at the Fist resting on his Chest, and finally met Urouge's Gaze, and said Calmly: "Not bad Power and Armament Haki, but it's just not bad."
"..."
Hearing Bear's Words, Urouge was silent for a long while, and then smiled bitterly: "As expected of the famous Tyrant Kuma, you are really a Monster through and through."
"Then it's my turn next."
After speaking, Bear's Left Hand was raised high, and then a Palm slapped heavily on Urouge's Face.
Bang—!
Urouge's tall and sturdy Body spun and flew out like a Shell, and if his Eyes were sharp enough, he could even see Urouge's Face full of Exaggerated Facial Expression.
Like a Shell fired at high Speed, Urouge's huge Form directly crashed into several houses not far away.
For a Time, Dust Cloud rose everywhere.
The collapsed Ruins directly buried Urouge's Figure.
Everything happened in a Lightning Flash.
By the Time the Crew member of the Fallen Monk Pirates reacted, their own Captain had been slapped away and buried in the Ruins.
"Captain!"
"Monk!"
The Crew member were shocked and rushed towards the Ruins of the houses.
Not far away.
"Fufufufu~ What a Monster indeed, no wonder those guys are eager to pull this Weapon into the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Seven Warlords of the Sea seems to be a good choice, but now is not the Time to join."
Seeing this Scene, Doflamingo stuck out his tongue and licked the Corner of Mouth, and a sharp light flashed across his unique Sunglasses.
Seemingly having some Plan.
Urouge in the Ruins shook his Head and got up with great difficulty.
"It hurts, I almost thought I was going to die."
Urouge raised his Hand to wipe off the Blood on his Face, looked at Bear who was walking slowly towards him in front, and grinned: "Fortunately, my usual training has never been slack, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."
As soon as the Words fell, under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, Urouge's Body gradually swelled up, and finally became even stronger than Bear.
At this moment, Urouge only had Bear in his Eyes, and he said piously: "Where there is Karma, there is Retribution, Karma Retribution!"
"Karma Retribution?"
Looking at Urouge, whose Form had more than doubled in size, Bear revealed a scrutinizing Gaze.
Bear Calmly looked at Urouge with high Fighting Spirit, and when walking, he directly took off the Glove he had been wearing.
At the same Time, his Figure flashed and directly appeared beside Urouge.
Then, he directly and gently slapped Urouge's Shoulder with a Palm.
Along with Bear's Action, a black and white ball was slapped out of Urouge's Body, and Urouge's Form quickly returned to its original size.
"Wait, wait, are you kidding me…"
Urouge looked at Bear who had easily defused his Devil Fruit Ability in disbelief.
Is he even letting people live?
"If I were to let you travel, where would you like to go?"
Just when Urouge was surprised, Bear's gentle Voice sounded beside him.
"I…"
Then, before Urouge could answer, he saw Bear directly slap down with a Palm, and then Urouge's Figure completely disappeared, leaving only Dust floating and Air Wave surging on the Ground.
And Bear, after finishing all this, put his Gloves back on and walked towards the distance.
"Mr. Nicholas, your Express Delivery has arrived."
(End of chapter)
Chapter 330: Remnant
New World, a Sea Area near the Red Line.
A seemingly ordinary Ship was drifting on the Sea Surface.
Nicholas was sitting cross-legged on the Ship's Bow.
And beside him stood Dorag, cloaked in a dark green Cape. Behind them stood the Eastern Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army, and the "G Army" Commander who had just arrived, King Emporio Ivankov of the Kamabakka Kingdom.
Dorag frowned as he looked at the Newspaper in his hand.
"Roger, that Weapon..."
Located on the Headline section of the Newspaper, in addition to the Navy's Public Execution of the Pirate King Roger in Loguetown, there was another piece of major News.
Nicholas glanced sideways at the content of the Newspaper, the Corner of Mouth slightly curving up.
"Caw... Caw..."
A Crow, as black as ink, emerged from the Dark Clouds. Tied to its leg was a Letter sealed with a Navy Seal.
Under everyone's gaze, the Crow landed directly on Karas's Shoulder.
Karas raised his hand to take the Letter, then took out a small Cloth Bag filled with Food from his pocket and handed it to the Crow.
"Koo-caw~"
After delivering the Letter, the Crow called out once, then picked up the bag and flapped its Wings to fly to the Mast.
"What is this?"
Emporio Ivankov curiously looked at the Letter Karas was holding in his hand.
"..."
Karas did not answer, but handed the Letter to Dorag. After all, only he and Dorag knew about the Revolutionary Army's personnel within the Navy.
Ivankov then realized something, his Eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Letter in Karas's hand. Obviously, he also realized that this was Intelligence from comrades within the Navy.
Dorag took the Letter, opened it directly, and after glancing at the Intelligence inside, handed the Letter to Nicholas.
But Nicholas did not take the Letter. He had already guessed who sent this Letter.
"We have 'Guests' coming."
Nicholas suddenly looked up towards the Sky, and Dorag did the same.
"Guests?"
The surrounding People also looked puzzled at the empty Sky and Sea Surface, wondering where the Guests were coming from.
Three seconds later, a Sonic Boom suddenly came from above everyone's heads. In everyone's Line of Sight, a Figure was wrapped in a giant Air Mass, breaking through the Air and flying towards them. And looking at the landing point, it was directly on their Ship.
Bang!
Accompanied by a Rumble, the Air Mass that was just flying in the Sky directly smashed onto the Deck, setting off an Air Wave.
As the Air Wave slowly dissipated, a tall Figure appeared In front of everyone.
And Urouge in the Air Wave tensed his nerves and quietly activated Armament Haki with Full Power. It could be said that his Devil Fruit Ability was strong, but it took a long Time to activate. And in such an unfamiliar environment, there was no doubt that activating Armament Haki with Full Power was the right choice.
Whether for defense or offense, it could buy him some Time.
"Long time no see, Urouge."
Just as Urouge was vigilantly looking around, he suddenly heard a familiar Sound.
"Nicholas!"
When he clearly saw the Master of the Voice calling him, Urouge said in surprise.
At the same Time, he quickly reacted and understood why Tyrant Kuma didn't choose to kill him after breaking his Ability at that Time, but instead sent him flying.
It seemed that Tyrant Kuma, who was infamous on the Sea, knew Nicholas and those strangers beside Nicholas.
At the same Time.
A Mast Ship with a Mermaid figurehead was docked along the Coast of an unknown Island in the New World.
This Ship was none other than the Pirate Ship of the long-disappeared Roger Pirates - the Oro Jackson.
At this Time, a fierce argument was taking place on the Oro Jackson.
The two sides in the Stand-off were Shanks and Buggy, the two youngest Members of the Red Hair Pirates.
The other side was a Den Den Mushi whose Appearance was somewhat similar to Rayleigh.
As for the other Crew member, they stood aside and watched.
"So, Uncle Rayleigh, what are you thinking?! Why aren't you going to save the Captain?! Buggy, help me talk to Uncle Rayleigh properly!"
Shanks loudly questioned the Den Den Mushi and turned his head to say to his Companion beside him. Obviously, Buggy was still quite strong in the trash talk department.
Buggy reluctantly curled his lip, then his Arm directly separated from his Wrist, and his Palm accurately grabbed the Den Den Mushi placed there.
And the other Palm that had separated from the Arm grabbed the Newspaper placed aside.
Snap!
The Palm flew back with the Newspaper.
Then they saw Buggy directly shove the Newspaper into the Den Den Mushi's Face.
A Newspaper.
The huge layout only reported one Major event.
The Navy announced the Public Execution of the Pirate King Roger.
"Rayleigh, you Weapon! The Navy is going to Public Execution the Captain! Could it be that you..."
Buggy roared loudly. The volume was so loud that Rayleigh on the other end of the Den Den Mushi silently moved the Den Den Mushi away from his ear.
"Hey, Buggy, you can't do it like this."
Saying this, Shanks snatched the Den Den Mushi from Buggy's hand, and then spoke to the Den Den Mushi:
"Hey, hey, Uncle Rayleigh, Captain Roger is going to be Public Execution by the Navy. Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?
Have you forgotten the Care the Captain gave you? Although the Captain announced the disbandment of the Roger Pirates at that Time, everyone knew in their hearts that it was the Captain's protection for everyone."
"It seems, Shanks, you also know that it was the Captain's protection for you. Surrendering to the Navy was Roger's own decision."
"Huh?"
Shanks was stunned when he heard that Roger had surrendered himself.
Buggy saw Shanks's Reaction, felt puzzled, and subconsciously moved closer.
"Presumably, Roger also doesn't want to see you fall into Danger to save him. Live well. The Roger Pirates are gone."
Hearing Rayleigh's Words, Shanks's hand clenched the Newspaper, and he lowered his head and said, "Captain Roger..."
He really couldn't accept doing nothing and just watching Captain Roger be Public Execution by the Navy.
In an instant, Shanks made a willful decision.
"Everyone."
Shanks looked up at his Partners in front of him.
Nozdon, Sanbel, Colonel Mu Lian, Dolingo, CB Golan, Spencer, Yao Yi, Langram... all looked seriously at Shanks.
Even though Shanks hadn't spoken yet, they had already anticipated what Shanks was going to say.
"Buggy and I are going to save Captain Roger. It might be very Danger, but I have to go!"
Shanks looked determined.
Going to save Roger meant facing the entire Navy. The Danger was self-evident.
And originally, Buggy was still nodding continuously on the side, but when he heard Shanks's Words, his whole Person was suddenly stunned. Then he looked at Shanks in disbelief, his Eyes full of disbelief.
"So I hope everyone can help me build a Ship that can be used for Navigation!"
After saying this, Shanks directly used his Right Hand to take off the Straw Hat on his head, placed it in front of his chest, and bowed to everyone.
Shanks didn't even think about dragging everyone along, because he knew what kind of Enemy he would face. That was a terrifying Opponent who had pushed them into desperate situations several times. What's more, this Time they didn't have Captain Roger. This also meant that if everyone went together this Time, they might all be buried in Loguetown.
On the Deck.
Everyone looked at Shanks and Smiles appeared on their Faces.
"The Marine Headquarters' high-level Combat Power, huh..." Taro grinned, using his thumb to slightly lift the Sword Hilt of the Tsuba-less Sword.
"Ah, we can't let the younger generation look down on us." The tall and thin Momora gently pressed down the brim of his top hat with his hand, and said with a Smile.
"How can we let you hog all the limelight for saving the Captain? Besides, you Weapon can't even steer a Ship. Even if you have a Ship, you probably wouldn't know how to sail it."
Fishman Sanbel said with a Smile.
"Sigh, you Weapons, can you even go to Sea without the guidance of this Navigator? Loguetown is the Captain's hometown. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look."
Spencer, with a handsome face and a ponytail, sighed deeply, already able to imagine the Danger ahead.
But he was the Navigator of this Ship, so wherever everyone wanted to go, he would do his best to take everyone there.
"Everyone..."
Shanks looked at everyone, suddenly feeling a little choked up.
"Don't forget, although the Roger Pirates have disbanded, we Remnant can go wherever we want."
Nozdon stepped forward and patted Shanks's Shoulder with his large Palm, saying.
"Alright, since a decision has been made, then everyone needs to Plan carefully on how to give the Captain a big Surprise."
