Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 272

Bonnie and Seven were seen running towards them in a panic, carrying the huge dragon body.

Behind the two were many green, gel-like creatures resembling slimes.

"Enemy?"

Conis's eyes narrowed, and she immediately used the power of the Iron-Iron Fruit, causing sharp iron spikes to appear around her.

"Wait a moment."

Robin reached out and stopped Connie.

Nami stood beside Robin, looking at the things following Bonney and Seven, and asked uncertainly, "Those things... are they emitting purple gas?"

Kuina gripped the hilt of the sword.

Ron narrowed his eyes and said:

"Don't make a move. That's a Smiley that emits poison gas. If you break it, it will release even more poison gas."

Everyone's expression froze.

"That Caesar guy really knows how to cause trouble."

Ron said helplessly, "Let's just give this island a thorough cleaning."

The words fell.

He raised his hand and gestured towards the sea.

Tens of thousands of tons of seawater rose from the ocean and, under Ron's control, transformed into a great river, rushing towards Punk Hazard, which still retains a large amount of toxic substances.

…………

After Ron harnessed the seawater and washed the entire island clean.

Not even two days passed.

The red dragon hadn't finished eating yet.

Then guests came to the door.

It's Hawkeye Mihawk.

He came to challenge Ron to a sword duel.

The battle in the East China Sea was merely a test of each other's strength.

The real showdown to determine the title of the world's strongest swordsman should have been at Marineford, but too many things happened at that time, which prevented Hawkeye and Ron from fighting each other.

So he followed the Vivre Card here, intending to have this match with Ron before the battle of the century begins.

The day.

Hawkeye Mihawk and Ron fought a fierce battle on Punk Hazard, each unleashing their full power.

Kuina was the only swordsman on this vast sea fortunate enough to witness this battle.

This duel between swordsmen is beyond imagination!

One after another, powerful and domineering slashes tore through the sky and sea of ​​the entire area.

Kuina had never seen such a magnificent and dazzling slash. With a single strike, crimson sword light scattered across the sky like comets.

She had never seen such a heavy and massive strike before; the mere pressure of the sword was enough to sweep away the clouds and stir up towering waves.

Crimson and dark green sword light, accompanied by the clash of blood-red and black blades, splashed and slashed in all directions, piercing through heaven and earth and cutting through everything.

The purplish-black aura accompanied the slashes, colliding and intertwining to unleash an astonishing roar.

Both were at the peak of the Great Swordsman realm. With a casual slash, their strikes were pure and ultimate, their power comparable to the invincible sword moves that ordinary swordsmen considered to have exhausted the mysteries of the sword.

And if such a swordsman were to use the sword techniques he had mastered...

Its power is immense.

Hard to imagine.

Although both sides tried their best to control the direction of their attacks, they still couldn't avoid slicing off a portion of the island of Punk Hazard.

In the end, Ron, with his superior domineering presence and physique compared to Hawkeye, cleaved Hawkeye off the island with a single sword strike.

The world's strongest swordsman.

The title that Hawkeye had held for over a decade was taken away by Ron's sword.

The throne of the world's strongest swordsman.

From then on, the roles were reversed.

……

After losing to Ron, Hawkeye showed no unusual reaction and appeared quite calm.

It was as if losing the title of the strongest swordsman didn't matter to him at all.

That is probably indeed the case.

He slung the world's number one black sword, Yoru, over his shoulder, walked up to Ron, and said, "I ran into Shanks on my way here."

"It seems like he wants to talk to you about something."

Ron listened as Hawkeye gave an address, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

236, see red hair

The Red-Haired Pirates' ship anchored near a small, rocky island.

Beckman leaned against the deck railing, put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and turned to look at Shanks, who was standing on the rocks on the shore, and said: "The Revolutionary Army has obtained the Glint-Glint Fruit, the World Government has found the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but the Dark-Dark Fruit is still nowhere to be found."

Shanks gazed at the sea and nodded. "I understand."

"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, huh...?"

Lucky Roux sat on a deck chair, eating a chicken leg, and asked, "That's a really powerful Devil Fruit. Does the World Government have a suitable candidate?"

Beckman put away his Den Den Mushi, lit a fine cigar, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke: "It seems the World Government is contacting Edward Weevil, probably trying to use this Devil Fruit as leverage to recruit him into their ranks."

"That guy who claims to be Whitebeard's son..." Lucky Roux nodded: "His power is just as terrifying as Whitebeard's when he was young. He should be able to control the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

"If that guy gets the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he might really become the second Whitebeard."

A bald executive of the Red-Haired Pirates chuckled, holding a wine glass.

"Do not."

Red-haired Shanks shook his head, gazed at the sea, and said with some emotion:

"There will never be another Whitebeard on the high seas..."

Everyone was silent.

As a sniper, he was wiping his hands with his yaris and looked up at the distant sea, squinting his eyes.

"coming."

Beckman and the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates all looked in that direction.

Boom boom boom!

A tremendous roar, accompanied by the explosion of an engine, could be heard in the distance.

The seawater was parted to both sides.

In the public eye.

A jet ski with a striking design, resembling a steel bull, sped towards us from the distant sea.

"Oh?"

Beckman, cigar in hand, stared at the jet ski with a gleam in his eyes.

Just as the jet ski was hurtling towards them at incredible speed, about to crash into the Red-Haired Pirates' ship.

The young man on the motorcycle gripped the handlebars, squeezed the brakes, and spun hard, performing a perfect water drift on the sea.

A large amount of seawater was thrown up and fell from the sky.

A young man wearing an open floral shirt that revealed his perfect abs, beach shorts, and flip-flops sat on a jet ski suspended on the sea.

Under the astonished and stunned gazes of Lucky Roux, Yasopp, and other members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

The young man pushed his sunglasses up to his forehead with his fingers, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes like the ocean and a handsome face that everyone recognized.

He smiled at Shanks, who was standing on the rocks by the shore:

"I heard you were looking for me, Redhead."

……

The sky was clear and the sea was azure.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, creating white sprays.

On the huge reefs on the island's shore.

Ron and Redhead sat facing each other, with drinks between them.
