Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

So I gave a brief introduction to Luffy, his childhood friend.

Before they could even catch up a few words, and just as Gordon finished greeting Luffy, a sound came from inside the restaurant.

......

boom!

A gunshot shattered the brief silence.

Inside the restaurant, a tiny window appeared strangely in Becky's right eye. Then someone set up a gun inside, fired, and quickly retracted it. The bullet instantly shrunk to its normal size in mid-air and accurately hit Hawkins' forehead, causing his head to snap back.

"A Devil Fruit ability?" Hawkins raised his head expressionlessly.

“Likewise, you’re a troublesome guy too.” Becky glanced to the side, where one of her men suddenly had a bullet hole in his head and collapsed to the ground with a scream.

Meanwhile, a straw doll with a bullet hole in its head slowly emerged from Hawkins' arm.

"I think you're already on your deathbed."

Hawkins drew his longsword from his waist with a clang, his tone chilling.

"If you don't want to be my subordinate, then die!" Becky said defiantly.

Chapter 302 Supernova Brawl, Luffy's Strength

It's perfectly normal for pirates, especially these arrogant Supernovas, to clash.

Hawkins and Bege were clearly both trying to test each other's Devil Fruit abilities, and their verbal exchange quickly escalated into a fight.

Meanwhile, in a tavern not far from this street...

A man with red hair, wearing goggles and a smug expression was drinking heavily.

Where's Kira?

"Captain Kidd, First Mate Killer is still on his way," the pirate beside him reported.

The man before them was none other than Captain Eustace Kidd.

If Luffy hadn't suddenly emerged as a dark horse, he would be the pirate with the highest bounty among the Supernovas.

Although bounty amounts don't always reflect strength, Kidd was still quite annoyed that a so-called Fifth Emperor had suddenly appeared above his head.

While he was drinking, he noticed a strangely dressed man not far away, with a long braid and teeth like piano keys.

"Hey, who's that idiot-looking guy over there?" Kidd asked his subordinate.

“Captain, that’s Haiming Skulachman Ap, bounty of 198 million,” the subordinate replied.

Apoo seemed to sense Kidd's gaze, turned his head, grinned in Kidd's direction, and arrogantly raised his middle finger.

Kidd paused for a moment, then a smug smile appeared on his face.

With a snap, he crushed the wine glass in his hand.

Boom!

The next second, a large hole was suddenly smashed in the wall of the tavern, and wood chips flew everywhere.

"If you want to fight, go fight on the other side of the cliff!"

Ap jumped out and shouted, "Hey, don't you know how powerful I am?"

“I can’t stand it,”

Kidd licked his lips, revealing a ferocious smile, and drew two short, magnetic knives hanging from his abdomen. "You disgusting-looking guy, don't stare at me like that."

Ap just gave Kidd the middle finger, which was clearly a provocation.

"Who knew you were so sensitive?"

Ap wore a wicked smile, his body swaying to a strange rhythm: "A guy like that won't survive to the end."

Almost at the same time that Kidd and Apoo were facing off, another battle was taking place in an open area not far away.

The grotesque monk Urouge, tall and dressed in a sumo wrestler-like outfit with a pair of small wings on his back, is wielding a huge pencil-shaped pillar and is engaged in a fierce battle with Kira, a masked warrior who wields two scythe-like weapons.

The two fought swiftly and ruthlessly, each move potentially fatal.

The giant diamond-shaped pencil pillar slammed down, and Kira retreated rapidly at an incredible speed.

“Using a strange knife. The guy who doesn’t talk,” Urouge laughed.

Kira's knife spun in response to Urki's shout, and he charged forward again without warning.

Just as Urki and Kira were locked in a fierce battle, and their weapons were about to collide again, a figure swiftly darted between them!

Clang!

Clang!

With two sharp cracks, a longsword and a battle axe blocked Urki's pencil post and Kira's scythe, respectively.

The one who made the move was a tall man wearing a swordsman's hat and an eye patch. He said in a deep voice, "If you want to fight, go to the New World! This is not a place for you to show off your strength!"

"So that's how it is, the corrupt Navy Drake?"

Urki grinned and looked into the distance. "You've escaped with your life, masked guy."

Kira remained silent, having already sheathed his sword.

Clearly, the two who had been disturbed had no intention of continuing the fight.

Drake stopped Urki and Kira, and then planned to leave this troublesome place with his crew.

However, as soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone.

A swordsman with green algae-like hair, who had gotten lost here, was scratching his head and looking impatient.

Zoro wandered around the intricate streets and root-lined areas with a frustrated expression.

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, the harsh reality told him so.

He got lost again!

This absolutely cannot be allowed to be found out by Sanji and his gang, otherwise my reputation as someone with no sense of direction will be confirmed.

Sanji: "???"

Please, have some self-awareness!

As if by some strange twist of fate, Zoro also found himself in the heart of this conflict zone.

Then I met Drake.

"Hey, Drake, you're having a great time right now. You've ruined a good show."

On a pile of wooden crates nearby, a man wearing a spotted beanie looked up, a mocking smile on his lips, and said, "But it seems you've gotten yourself into another good show."

"Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death?"

Drake shifted his gaze from Law to Zoro, who stood before him with sharp eyes and his hand on the hilt of his sword, and felt quite troubled.

Because the fighting spirit emanating from the other party had already locked onto him.

"Oh? Are they enemies?"

Zoro grinned, revealing a beastly smile, and with a whoosh, Wado Ichimonji was drawn from its sheath.

Drake sighed, "I don't want to fight you Straw Hat crew."

"However, I really enjoy sparring with swordsmen."

Zoro interrupted him, his gaze falling on the sword at Drake's waist, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.

The reason he fought Drake was not only because Drake was blocking his way, but more importantly because he sensed that Drake was a powerful swordsman.

Boom!

A massive slash swept past, cleaving down a nearby abandoned building, and sending a figure flying through the air along with it.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Drake's figure suddenly swelled and transformed into a gigantic Allosaurus.

Zoan type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Allosaurus form

"A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? Or a dinosaur?"

Zoro stared at the enormous figure that was faintly visible in the smoke and dust, his eyes gleaming with even greater excitement. He asked with great interest, "Can you still use a sword in this state?"

“I wasn’t exactly a true swordsman to begin with,” Drake said through gritted teeth.

Should I say I'm unlucky, or just plain unlucky?

"Never mind, you look pretty good anyway," Zoro laughed.

Drake said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness, "The Straw Hat crew is really terrifying."

Even in the brief exchange of blows, he sensed that Zoro's strength and swordsmanship were extremely formidable.

How could someone like that be just a second-in-command in a pirate crew?

Just what kind of monster is that legendary Straw Hat Luffy?

There was no time for him to think, because Zoro had already made a swift dash forward, unleashing his Three-Sword Style, and a fierce slash came rushing towards him!

"Ghost Slayer!"

Drake hurriedly used his huge claws and tail to block, then counterattacked, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

The muffled thuds of colliding forces and the sharp whistling of blades cutting through the air were incessant.

"Wow, that's some serious power!" Drake gritted his teeth, feeling the immense force of the opponent's strike.

Zoro grinned, his attacks becoming even more ferocious: "You're not bad either!"

Luo, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, gradually lost his relaxed expression, which was replaced by shock.

At first, he thought he was seeing things, but as Zoro and Drake clashed fiercely, he saw clearly the invisible force wrapped around the blade.

"Domineering? Impossible."

Luo muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, "This is only the first half of the Grand Line. He's a pirate hunter from the East Blue and has never been to the New World. Why would he have mastered Haki?"
