"What...what's going on?"
Makuro stared at the hole in Yang Ming's clothes, pierced by the spear tip. What was revealed wasn't human skin, but rather the scales of some kind of snake.
Makuro had never seen a dragon before, so he couldn't immediately identify the origin of the scales.
Yang Ming glanced down at the dragon scale that had been struck by the spear tip; only a white mark remained. He thought to himself:
"I never expected that my defense would be greatly improved after the Dragon Scales were stacked with Iron Blocks and the Dragon Roar passive skill."
"My current state is comparable to activating Armament Haki, isn't it?"
"If I ever learn Armament Haki..."
Seeing Makulo thrust his spear at him again, Yang Ming immediately swung his sword to meet the attack.
The two sides exchanged blows, and the sounds of clashing swords and spears were incessant.
After Gara, wielding the Goldfish Swordsmanship, severely wounded Tina with a single strike, he saw that Makuro was struggling to subdue the black-haired, black-eyed boy and was having an extremely difficult time fighting him. Disregarding the possibility of taking Tina's life, he rushed to her aid.
He walked around behind Yang Ming and exchanged a smile with Makulo.
The two have been partners for many years and need not say much.
Makulo shouted, his spear flashing and creating a series of afterimages as he tried to distract Yang Ming.
Even though the dragon bloodline provides formidable defense, it cannot completely cover areas like the eyes. Once the spear tip pierces the eyes, it can directly damage Yang Ming's brain.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Golden Fish Swordsman, Galo, like a venomous snake waiting for its chance, suddenly darted out of the bushes, her sword silently approaching behind Yang Ming's head.
Clearly, when Gara was fighting Tina, she was also paying attention to the battle here and had already noticed the strangeness about Yang Ming. In order to avoid her attacks failing to harm Yang Ming's body, she aimed at his head.
Pirate crews that can make a name for themselves on the Grand Line are not ordinary people, even if they are just ordinary members.
However, neither of them noticed one thing.
From the moment Yang Ming killed the two fishman pirates who initially ambushed him, he had never used his full strength!
Yang Ming gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, raised the blade above his head, stood with his legs shoulder-width apart and his knees slightly bent. The pendant at his waist swayed, and the rhomboid ruby shimmered with a burning light.
"Fifth Form! Flame Tiger!"
Scorching flames rose from beneath Yang Ming's feet, coiling around his body like a fiery python.
Scorching heat waves rolled in, and the air seemed slightly distorted.
The hot wind made Yang Ming's bangs flutter, and his dark eyes reflected the raging fire.
He was like a ruthless and fiery king, capable of inflicting devastating blows on his enemies when enraged.
Feeling the heat wave rushing towards them, even the two mermen attacking from both sides slowed their pace slightly out of instinct.
Fishmen dislike fire, not only because it is their nature, but also because of an instinctive resistance.
Under the command of the Flame King, the raging flames, like a tiger unleashed from its cage, pounced on the Golden Fish Swordsman Galo who was attacking from behind.
Before the poor creature could even let out a scream, it was burned to a crisp.
Emboldened by this achievement, Yan Hu charged at Makuro once again.
The surrounding air temperature rose sharply, even causing a momentary difficulty in breathing, clearly due to a rapid increase in the consumption of oxygen in the air.
Makuro felt extremely dehydrated, which is not a good sign for a fish-man.
"Fight!"
Makulo gritted his teeth and thrust his spear forward with all his might.
This was not a heroic act; rather, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and seemed rather ridiculous.
The spear scattered a few sparks, but for the ferocious Flame Tiger, which was at the height of its power, it only caused a minor scratch.
"Pfft!"
Makulo followed in his companion's footsteps, collapsing to the ground charred black, emitting a wisp of burnt smoke.
Yang Ming slowly sheathed his sword, then belatedly slapped his forehead and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh no, I forgot to hold back!"
"Could this guy be dead?"
Upon hearing this, Makuro's lips twitched violently, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Yang Ming squatted down and pointed his finger at the other person's nose for a moment.
Despite being severely injured and barely breathing, Makuro managed to stay alive thanks to his superior physique compared to other fishmen.
Seeing his two accomplices, Makuro and Garo the Goldfish Swordsman, fall one after another, and his other subordinates also fall to Drake and his two companions, the karate master Tans's calm state of mind was suddenly shattered, and he immediately revealed a fatal flaw, which Smoker accurately seized upon.
White smoke swirled around the arms of karate master Tans, and then Smoker appeared behind him. Before Smoker could pin the enemy to the ground and put shackles on him, Tina came over carrying the injured body and delivered several whip kicks, making karate master Tans' face swell up and almost turn into a pig's head.
"hiss!"
Seeing that karate master Tans looked like he had just had a cosmetic surgery, Smoker gasped.
"Women are truly terrifying creatures."
Smoker thought that Tina wouldn't hear him because he was speaking softly.
To his surprise, Tina stopped in her tracks and turned around abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.
"Smoker, say that again if you dare?"
Smoker gave an awkward smile. What else could he say?
When Yang Ming arrived, Smoker witnessed the multifaceted nature of women.
Tina pulled Yang Ming into a tight embrace, letting him experience what it meant to have a loving and compassionate heart.
"My little man is the best. He came to my aid the moment he saw I was injured."
Smoker opened his mouth, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
They were so caught up in the joy of their victory that they didn't notice a group of journalists suddenly appearing in the crowd and quickly snapping photos of the scene.
One of the reporters slipped out of the crowd, went into a quiet alley, and took out a Den Den Mushi:
"Please report to the young master that the plan has been initially successful."
Chapter 25 Before dawn arrives, someone must light up the darkness.
"General!"
A large, broad hand gripped a black knight, forcefully capturing the white king on the chessboard.
Doflamingo withdrew his hand, stretched his fingers together, then lay back on the sofa, crossed his legs, narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses, and looked at the person opposite him with a smile.
"Morgans, it seems I've won this round."
The figure sitting opposite Doflamingo appeared in the form of an albatross, wearing a black top hat with a red and white feather stuck upside down, a blue shirt underneath, a black cape over it, a yellow tie around his neck, and red and white checkered trousers.
Seemingly annoyed by his defeat in chess, the man's once neatly groomed feathers were now slightly disheveled, indicating that he was not at ease at the moment.
The New World is a place where order and chaos coexist. Besides the bustling trade on the surface, the constant warfare has spawned a multitude of shady businesses, creating countless arms dealers and loan sharks in the underworld.
Over the years, only six people have been able to stand out from these arms dealers and loan sharks. They are known as the Six Kings of the Underworld, and they control six major areas: currency, assassins, entertainment, intelligence, goods, and transportation in most parts of the world.
Morgans, president of the World Economic News Agency, is also one of the six kings of the underworld.
Morgans, displeased, swept all the chess pieces off the board, his sharp eyes fixed on the unfathomable man before him, and said:
"Joker, you didn't invite me here today just to make fun of me, did you?"
"Of course... no." Doflamingo revealed a mocking smile and said exaggeratedly, "Look how serious you looked just now. Do you think we can't take a joke like this after all these years of friendship?"
Morgans rolled his eyes and got up to leave.
Just then, a broad hand landed on Morgans' shoulder, and Doflamingo's warm breath reached his ear.
"I'd like to know the routes used by various countries to transport gold from the sky this year."
The 170 member states of the World Government are required to hand over a portion of their wealth to the Celestial Dragons every year, euphemistically called "Celestial Gold."
Although the navy will dispatch escort fleets to help transport the celestial gold, the navy is usually very busy and cannot plan the transport routes of all member states in advance. Therefore, this task will be entrusted to each member state to handle itself.
To avoid being robbed of their celestial treasures by pirates along the way, each member state begins designing and initially finalizing its shipping routes at the beginning of each year.
Such top-secret information is impossible for others to obtain.
But Morgans, known as the head of intelligence, was an exception.
No one outside knows what Doflamingo and Morgan Smith discussed during their hour-long conversation.
After Morgans flew away, Torrepol emerged from the shadows.
"Young Master, our messengers have reported that Zefa's Bladepoint Squad has taken the bait we deliberately laid out."
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo burst into laughter.
"I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing what kind of expression that insatiable Spandam will have when he hears this news."
Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.
Some are happy, some are sad.
After Yang Ming and his six companions defeated the three leaders led by Makuro, the remaining fish-men confessed to the crimes committed by their Sun Pirates crew in front of Yang Ming's benevolent smile. They also revealed the address where the slaves transported from Haba Hardware Store were hidden, which turned out to be near the terminal station of the sea train that Yang Ming's group had taken in Water 7.
At first, Franky and Espagu couldn't believe it, but they insisted on following Yang Ming and his group of six to the dock near Silft Station.
A group of journalists, like cats that smell fish, followed them all the way there.
Ten fishermen remained at the dock, partly to monitor the human slaves imprisoned inside the containers, and partly to use the act of moving goods as a cover.
The ten fishmen crumbled at the first touch and were subsequently shackled.
The group arrived in front of rows of shipping containers, lifted the curtains covering them, and immediately revealed the scene inside.
Dozens of beautiful women stayed inside the container, some of them raising their arms to shield their eyes from the light.
The beauties here cover a wide range: pure and lovely, alluring and seductive, mature and charming, demure and graceful, with a timeless charm. There are only those you haven't seen before, and those you can't even imagine.
When people saw that the container was holding a large number of beautiful women, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Franky and Espagu looked grim.
This dock is all owned by Tom Shipbuilding Company. These fishmen are utterly despicable for doing this!
