I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 53 It’s the person who is strong, not the title!
How can it be! ?
When his body fell from a height of dozens of meters and Monger's icy knife light fell on him, Sebastian was stunned.

How could he be knocked to his knees by Monger?
He is an admiral of the navy, a user of the mythical beast species of the Animal-type Fruit, and a natural counter to Monge. It is no exaggeration to say that he is Monge's natural enemy.

Monger's strength and speed were unfamiliar to him.

"General Jiangma!!!"

Kong's roar brought Sebastian back to his senses. The most powerful thing about the users of the Animal-type Fruit ability is that they are strong and resistant to attacks, and have strong recovery abilities, not to mention that Sebastian is also a mythical beast among the Animal-type Fruits.

After Monger knocked him down, he raised his hand and almost beheaded him with a knife, but his instinct triggered the Armament Haki, and the scale defense that came with his fruit ability allowed him to withstand the attack.

There was only a tiny line of blood on his neck. Munger's knife was almost enough to cut his blood vessels and seriously injure him.

Just a little bit closer!
"Fire Explosion!!!"

Terrifying flames erupted from Sebastian's body, rising almost at all costs, trying to push Monger off him.

But can Monger retreat?
No!

Monger was very clear that he definitely did not have the strength to fight two navy admirals at the same time. If it were Kong and Rona, two admiral-level fighters in their prime, Monger would run away without saying a word.

If you want to make your dominance stronger, you must be brave enough to move forward when facing a strong enemy.

But this courage does not mean you will die!

But the navy underestimated him and instead of sending Kong and Rona, they sent Kong and an old man.

"Sebastian, you couldn't catch me in your prime. Now you're older than me. What gives you the right to come and fight me alone?"

Monger laughed loudly and faced Sebastian's fire explosion without retreating or avoiding. The cold white frost also burst out, and Monger's whole body turned into a werewolf.

"Cold disaster!"

Bang--------!
The high and low temperatures generated by the collision of frost and fire explosion covered a space of several thousand meters. If Monger and Sebastian were fighting in the port town, they could raze the entire port town to the ground with just this one blow.

The terrifying impact made Kong stop for a while. He wanted to cooperate with Sebastian in a two-on-one fight, but after being approached by Monger, Sebastian could only rely on releasing flames to fight Monger. The indiscriminate attack even covered Kong.

"null!"

He was holding back his anger, but after being hit twice by Monger, Sebastian regained his sanity. Although he didn't know what happened to Monger, he knew that Monger definitely had the strength of his heyday.

And he
"Haha, Sebastian, your body has long been drained by women. If you were the same person twenty years ago, you would never be as miserable as you are now!"

The so-called admiral level and emperor level are just indicators. After reaching this level, there will still be differences in strength.

A powerful emperor can defeat a weak general.

A powerful general can also defeat a weak emperor.

It is the person who is strong, not the title!
As a veteran general, Sebastian's peak period was definitely not comparable to that of a newcomer like Kong who had just entered this realm.

But he is old!
Just like Monger, who was so old a year ago that he had to fight hard to capture a pirate with a bounty of less than 200 million, Sebastian still barely retained the combat power of an admiral, but it was only barely retained.

Over time, the true nature of his declining physical strength will become apparent.

boom!
The strong impact like electric current stimulated Monger's skin. After Sebas gave up using fire to force Monger back, Kong finally found an opportunity to intervene in the battlefield.

Pure physique!
Pure dominance!
As soon as Kong made a move, Monger knew that he had definitely reached the same level as them. Kong was not yet forty years old, so he still had at least ten years to continue improving himself.

"General Jiangma, are you okay?"

"Hmph, even if I'm old, he can't defeat me easily!" Sebastian got up from the ground, panting and gritting his teeth. He had forgotten the last time he was so embarrassed. Since he became the admiral of the navy, any pirate who met him would run away for his life. He wished his parents had given him two more legs.

Only Mung, even though he was not as strong as him, never showed any fear.

But there are geniuses in this sea!
Sebastian looked down on Monger because he knew that Monger lacked talent. Even if he worked extremely hard, even if he ate the fruit of the mythical beast and raised his physical limit, he still could not reach the same level as him.

And he was already an admiral at the age of 42, and even had the opportunity to become a navy marshal.

but why?
Mung, who clearly does not have the Conqueror's Haki, now displays his talent for Conqueror's Haki. His face, which should be as old as his, actually has the mature handsomeness that is unique to middle-aged people?

This face is the fundamental reason why Sebastian has always been jealous of Monger!

Why are we all born by our parents?

Are you more handsome than me?

"Monger, how on earth did you do that?"

"Haha, you don't deserve to know!"

Monger was dismissive of Sebastian's questions and didn't take Sebastian seriously at all.

One is talented, the other is good-looking.

This is probably the reason why Monger and Sebastian dislike each other.

"Whoo~"

Monger let out a breath.

Sora and Sebastian teaming up was the last thing he wanted to see.

But Monger also knew that once he showed that he was stronger than either of them in a one-on-one fight, it would be inevitable for them to join forces.

So what Monger did before was to try to weaken Sebastian as much as possible before Sora and Sebastian joined forces.

The power of the animal-type fruit is now revealed.

Although he was beaten badly by Monger just now, Sebastian's disordered breathing began to recover in just a few breaths.

This made Monger realize.

We must not give Sebastian a chance to breathe!
When Monger was fighting with Sebastian and Sora, the surrounding navy had already approached.

"All troops, prepare for bombardment!"

"But, Lieutenant General Elliot, there are still many civilians on this island."

"Where are the civilians on this island?"

The vice admiral, his face covered in scars, snorted coldly, "Sphinx is a non-governmental member state. It's full of villains who trade with and shelter pirates. There are no civilians who need our protection!"

In this world, only countries that join the World Government, become member states of the government, and pay the Heavenly Gold on time every year are eligible to be protected by the Navy.

Therefore, in Eliot's eyes, only those who pay taxes are considered human beings.

As for the humanoid creature on top of the Sphinx?
"They are nothing but a bunch of beasts in human form!"
