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

Page 182

"Kizaru and Aokiji won't be so easy for you to shake off. They might already be chasing us this way. You'd better leave Dressrosa and go back to your companions as soon as possible."

"What about you?"

Ron asked.

“Don’t worry about us.” Zephyr walked to his side and stood beside him, looking at Dressrosa in the distance: “Although the Don Quixote family has been destroyed, the remnants are still there, so we will stay in this country for a while longer.”

Ron nodded gently: "I understand. I'll be leaving now. See you on the high seas again."

Seeing his figure float up, Ain hurriedly took out two life cards from her bosom and handed them to him: "Ron, these are for you."

"This is... a Life Card?"

"Yes, these are my and Professor Zephyr's Vivre Cards. If you want to find us in the future, you can use these to find your way."

Ai Yin smiled at him, her eyes crinkling.

"I see."

Ron nodded to her with his eyes closed and accepted it.

Before he left, Zephyr solemnly instructed him:

"With Doflamingo dead and the Donquixote Family destroyed, the New World is likely to descend into chaos. And you are at the very center of this massive storm sweeping across the New World."

"The Marines under Kizaru and Aokiji have already left you with nowhere to escape in the New World. If the Four Emperors and other forces were to attack you again, not only would the seas of the New World be unsafe, but even the skies would be. Even if you have the ability to withstand the danger, what about your comrades?"

"If you don't plan to leave the New World, then find a place to lie low for now, quiet down, and don't cause any more big incidents. Making too much of a splash isn't a good thing before you have enough strength."

Before he could finish speaking, Ron had already taken to the air, his voice coming from high above.

"Old man Zepha, I will consider your words carefully, don't worry. If one day I don't want to deal with your pirate guerrillas anymore, I welcome you and Ain to my ship anytime."

"That brat actually wants to take this old man as a partner..."

Zefa stared at the black dot disappearing into the horizon in the distance, a wide grin revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Isn't that pretty good too?"

Ai Yin said with a big smile.

A gust of wind blew by, and the flowers and grasses flew into the air.

On the streets of Dressrosa, countless reunited people embraced each other with tears in their eyes and immense joy.

Dressrosa was reborn amidst tears and laughter.

In the many years that followed,

Besides its nickname "Land of Love and Passion," Dressrosa also has another name that exists only within its borders—"Land of Praise and Celebration for Travelers."

…………

While celebrating rebirth and reunion in Dressrosa

Swish!

A streak of black light, moving at incredible speed, pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, leaving the island and heading in one direction from the sky above the ocean.

Not long after he left.

Several warships are heading towards Dressrosa.

……

the other side.

In a sea somewhere in the New World, a large ship bearing the Big Mom Pirates' insignia and the logo of Whole Cake Island is anchored on the surface of the sea.

Charlotte Cracker, one of the three Sweet Commanders and the highest-ranking officer of the Big Mom Pirates, stood on the deck, holding a telescope and looking up at the sky.

"Is that Ron the Traveler's ship?"

"The one attacking that ship... is it 'King the Flame' of the Beasts Pirates? Why would he attack the Sky Calamity Brigade?"

Cracker gazed at the sky, a sense of unease settling in his mind.

When did that traveler Ron provoke Kaede of the Beasts?

These words were spoken ten thousand meters above the ground.

The Beasts Pirates' top lieutenant, "King the Flame," had already shattered the laser barrier. Wielding a massive katana, he hovered above the floating ship using the wings on his back, unleashing a barrage of attacks wreathed in fierce flames.

Flames erupted all over the ship's hull, and some parts were smashed and broken, with more than 40% of it damaged. The Voyager had never suffered such extensive damage before.

"Iron Thorns!"

A giant iron spike vine, composed of countless intertwined iron spikes, rushed towards Jin above, but he did not dodge or block it at all, letting the giant iron spike vine crash into him.

Countless hard, sharp iron spikes collided with his skin hardened by Armament Haki, producing a crisp metallic clang, but they couldn't break through even a fraction of the surface.

With a pale face, Conis immediately had an idea and controlled the giant iron spike vines to completely entangle Jin.

"Now!"

Connie shouted.

Kuina stomped her foot.

"Isshin-ryu, Azure Moon!"

Wielding twin swords, Kuina soared into the air, slashing at Jin, who was entangled by giant iron spike vines. Two azure slashes, like two crescent moons, crossed and struck him.

"boring."

With his body engulfed in flames, Jin spread his arms wide and tore apart the giant steel vines that bound him.

A pair of jet-black arms, imbued with Armament Haki, were crossed in front of him.

Kuina's twin swords struck his arms, producing a crisp metallic clang.

A powerful recoil surged along the blade towards Kuina's hands, directly shattering her tiger's mouth.

In Kuina's violently contracted pupils, Jin easily blocked the attack with just his arms enhanced by Armament Haki!

No matter how hard Kuina tried, both knives were like striking incredibly hard steel, unable to penetrate even an inch.

"A swordsman who hasn't even reached the level of a great swordsman can't even cut through my skin."

Jin looked at her coldly.

"Eight-Strike Fist!"

A green shadow flashed beside him, and Kung Fu Dugong Xiaoqi appeared at his side, his jet-black fist hardened with Armament Haki and carrying an astonishing shockwave as it smashed toward Jin.

Jin didn't even dodge, letting the punch land on him.

boom!

It was as if it had struck an incredibly hard piece of steel; neither the force nor the shockwave could penetrate it.

Jin glanced at it: "Little thing, are you tickling me?"

Kungfu Manatee Xiao Qi's eyes narrowed sharply.

Jin casually threw a punch at her, and even though Xiao Qi managed to block it in time, he still slammed her into the floating ship below like a cannonball.

161, A furious killing intent from the horizon!

"Little Seven!"

Kuina couldn't help but shout.

"You should worry about yourself."

Jin slashed his katana down at Kuina.

Even though Kuina managed to defend herself with her twin swords crossed in time, she was still directly slammed down by that enormous force.

The floating ship that crashed down slid backwards for more than ten meters on the deck, only stopping in front of Connie, Robin, and Bonnie, who were also injured.

"Is this the strength of the Sky Calamity Brigade?"

Tall and robust, wearing a mask, goggles, and helmet, dressed in black, with a pair of black feathered wings on his back and his body engulfed in mysterious flames, "Jin the Flame" looked down at Kuina and the others on the ship below, his eyes filled with disdain: "You're not as weak as I expected. Aside from your captain, don't you have anyone even remotely powerful?"

Connie, Bonnie, and Robin stared at him, their faces pale.

Is this the power of "King the Flame," one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates?!

Is this the true powerhouse of this strongest sea area?

They are no match for them at all.

Blood trickled from her tiger's mouth, and her hands trembled, yet Kuina still gripped her twin swords tightly. She straightened her upper body and stood before them, her eyes fixed on Jin above.

Those firm, shining eyes seemed to be telling Jin something.

Even if the captain of this ship is not here, I will protect this ship and will absolutely not allow someone like you to run amok!

Even if it costs me my life!

"Not bad, you have a good understanding of what's good for you. If you weren't a woman, you might have a chance to become a strong person who could rival me."

King looked at Kuina and said, "It's a pity. In my opinion, none of you are qualified to become strong, and you are not worthy to be Lord Kaido's subordinates. So... die here."

boom!
