Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Opinions on this matter vary, with some believing that the Mad Blade Pirates are a good pirate crew.

Some people think that the Mad Blade Pirates are a group of lawless and bloodthirsty pirates.

However, these words meant nothing to the Mad Blade Pirates.

Because they had slaughtered the nobles and guards of the Kingdom of Totnes.

They set sail for Reverse Mountain immediately, and given the speed of the navy, it should be difficult for them to catch up.

Moreover, the 127th Naval Branch had no intention of sending troops at all.

They only sent out a small warship, making it appear as if they were chasing pirates.

Because they didn't even issue an arrest warrant to the Mad Blade Pirates, nor did they send an interception notice to the Marine branch guarding Reverse Mountain.

Bellemere, standing on the deck of the warship, gazed into the distance with a wandering look in his eyes.

"Was this your doing, Colonel Raleigh?"

Bellemere recalled the handsome naval captain, whose cold face made it impossible for anyone to see into his heart.

However, Bellemere believed that he must have done it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked whether the Navy was capable of resisting pirates.

Bellemere clenched her fists tightly, remembering Raleigh's advice to her.

"The forces of justice should not be so weak... Bellemere, you need to become stronger... This is my training notebook..."

Bellemere opened the notebook that Raleigh had handed her; it was written on it.

[The Principles and Practice of the Six Styles of the Navy]

Bellemere was extremely surprised to see the dense and detailed handwriting.

Because if it is a branch of the Navy, and they have not attended a training camp at the Navy Headquarters, they have almost no chance of coming into contact with the Navy's Six Styles.

This was issued after research by the Navy's top brass, who believed that the soldiers of the Four Seas Branch were not physically fit enough to practice the Navy's Six Styles.

This is also because the World Government doesn't need the navy to become too powerful, thus creating an invisible constraint.

Bellemere opened the notebook, her eyes growing brighter with each page.

Although she had never been trained in the proper Six Styles of the Navy, her notes indicated that the Six Styles of the Navy had been simplified by Raleigh.

Although its power is only two-thirds of the original, its difficulty has dropped dramatically to only one-quarter of the original.

With a quarter of the effort of the original, you can achieve two-thirds of the power of the original.

There is no doubt that the book in Bellemere's hands will be welcomed by many naval soldiers of the Four Seas Branch.

However, Bellemere did not intend to give it away.

She believed that this training method was taught to her by Colonel Raleigh.

Without Colonel Raleigh's permission, Bellemere did not allow anyone else to learn the Six Styles of Naval Training.

"Don't worry, Colonel Raleigh, when we meet again, I'll be a completely new Bellemere."

Bellmer encouraged himself and then threw himself into intense training.

She already possesses conditions that others can only dream of, so of course she needs to seize the time to become stronger.

Unbeknownst to Raleigh, who was far away, a training notebook he casually gave away transformed Bellemere, who had been killed by a small pirate crew, into the most capable Marine branch leader of the 127th Division.

He couldn't worry about those things for the time being; the main problem at hand was causing him a lot of trouble.

That's right, while Raleigh was still catching up on sleep on the deck that morning, a golden sword slashed at the sun lounger.

If Raleigh hadn't been using Observation Haki, he might have been cut in half by Gion.

"Gion...Gion".

Raleigh had nothing to say, because the current situation meant he couldn't tell the truth.

As a Marine, colluding with pirates is a serious crime, and colluding with pirates to kill the kings and nobles of member states of the World Government is a capital offense.

Even Raleigh didn't want to get involved in such trouble.

He still wanted to slack off in the navy.

The difficulty now is how to explain to Gion the trouble he's gotten himself into.

A fire of anger was burning in Gion's heart. Yesterday, Raleigh had knocked her unconscious and left the territory of the Kingdom of Totnes.

The warship sailed for another whole night, and it was only a few days' journey to Upside Down Mountain.

It's impossible for her to turn back, which is also part of Raleigh's plan.

However, this plan clearly did not take into account the enraged Gion.

Now, Gion is determined to kill this bastard in front of her.

Since I can't kill Raleigh anyway, I might as well vent my anger.

Gion remained silent.

The famous sword in his hand gleamed with a deadly cold light, slashing towards Raleigh's body with each strike.

Raleigh felt frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, he misses his good brother, the flying squirrel, very much.

No matter how unconventional his actions were, the flying squirrel always believed in him.

To use this as an example, after Raleigh gave the order to retreat, the flying squirrel would not say a word.

Some people only realize how good something is when they lose it.

clang!

Gion's strength posed no threat to Raleigh, but Raleigh didn't want to knock her unconscious again.

Everyone knows that Gion is holding back a lot of anger, and it would be better if she could let it out.

On this warship, the only person who could make Gion angry without her worrying about getting hurt was Raleigh.

Gion knew this, which is why she held nothing back.

clang!clang!clang!

Kinpira repeatedly slashed at Law's right hand, which was hardened by Armament Haki, creating a series of sparks.

Raleigh looked at his palm in surprise; there was a faint scar on it.

It actually broke through the defense!

Gion truly lives up to his reputation as a genius of the headquarters; in just a few days of sea training, he has already mastered the secrets of cutting iron.

It's estimated that after some time, Gion might reach the level of a swordsman.

He has reached the level of a sword master who can unleash sword energy.

Raleigh dodged and thought at the same time.

Yes, Kakei also demonstrated the use of the Navy's Sixth Style - Shave yesterday.

It can only be said that after the Marineford War, many of the Marines who are known in the One Piece world are geniuses.

Gion grew even angrier seeing Raleigh constantly dodging and refusing to attack.

She was angry at Raleigh's inaction, and also angry at her own status and her own strength.

But hidden beneath all of this was her powerlessness.

She could see the essence of the problem, but she was powerless to change it, which is why Gion was angry with herself.

She was also careful, which is why she targeted Raleigh, the only person she couldn't harm.

He just got angrier the more he fought, because Raleigh was just too slippery to handle.

"Raleigh, can't you fight like a man, fair and square? Stop running away."

"One-Sword Style: Cherry Blossom Fall!"

Gion's sword was three times faster than before.

A gust of wind blew toward Raleigh, ruffling his hair.

Suddenly, Raleigh's Observation Haki seemed to sense something, and he waved his arm in the distance.

Gion stopped attacking when she saw Raleigh's strange movements.

Soon, a newsbird wearing a seagull hat landed next to Raleigh.

Raleigh took out fifty Berries, put them in the newsbird's pocket, and took out a newspaper.

The most prominent headline above is: The Mad Blade Pirates raid the Kingdom of Totnes, and the King and the captain of the guard are hanged on the city gate!
