One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

Chapter 143 Pirate Paradise!

"I believe you, Mr. Kiro!"

"Very good, but you should recover from your injuries first, and while you're at it, take stock of which murloc brothers are preparing to join the Revolutionary Army."

Kiro paused for a moment, then said, "Rest assured, the Revolutionary Army will never mistreat anyone!"

He then turned his gaze to Queen Otohime, whose gradually protruding belly could be vaguely seen beneath her graceful figure.

Kiro seemed thoughtful, then suddenly asked, "—Is her name Shirahoshi?"

Queen Otohime was startled and looked at Kiro in astonishment. "That's right—how did you know?"

She clearly never mentioned her daughter's name to anyone else.

Kiro shook his head, not directly answering Otohime's question. "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."

Does this mean the next "Aquaman" is about to be born?

A year later, with Shirahoshi's first cry, the gears of fate for Fishman Island and even the entire world will begin to slowly turn.

If that power could be controlled, Shirahoshi's destructive potential would be absolutely unprecedented.

After all, most of the world is covered by the ocean, and no one knows what terrifying creatures lie beneath the deep sea. There might even be super-giant sea monsters that are tens of thousands of meters long.

If this power could be mobilized to summon ancient sea kings, it could even destroy the World Government.

However, Kilo does not intend to guide White Star into a mere destruction machine, as that would not only be immoral but also potentially risky.

In the original story, Luffy guided Shirahoshi in the right direction. If Kiro rashly intervened and changed the course of the world, no one knows what would happen.

"Alright, now that things are resolved, I'm ready to head to the new world."

"By the way—do you guys have a save pointer here?"

Half a day later, Kilo, with his backpack full of log pointers, stood before the ascending channel.

Not far away, Neptune, Queen Otohime, and others were seeing him off.

"Farewell, Mr. Kiro!" a fishman henchman standing next to Tiger called out enthusiastically.

The next moment, as an iron fist flashed by, the fishman underling cried out in pain and clutched his head, where a large bump had grown.

"That's called a safe journey," you idiot!

Tiger withdrew his fist in annoyance, then looked at Kiro with eyes full of respect.

"Mr. Kiro, have a safe journey!"

Neptune, Queen Otohime, and the others nodded repeatedly, watching Kiro as he prepared to depart.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone off with such enthusiasm.

Kilo smiled, waved to the crowd, and turned to step onto the newly coated boat.

With his gentle push, the small boat gradually steered into the path of ascent.

"call--

'

A violent jolt struck, and Kilo felt a strong upward force engulfing him and the small boat, blurring the surrounding scenery.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the crowd that had come to see him off disappeared from sight.

The surrounding seawater was pushed aside by the rising boat, and the current made a dull thud.

The surrounding deep sea gradually turned completely black, and even Kilo's eyesight, which far exceeded the limits of human capabilities, could not detect a single ray of light.

Suddenly, Kiro frowned, his keen Observation Haki sensing several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

Sea Kings?

The Dragon Slayer sword instantly appeared in his hand. With a few gentle swings, several sharp, crimson sword energies immediately emerged.

They gently pass through the resin membrane on the ship's hull without leaving a trace, but the moment they come into contact with the outside seawater, they suddenly expand and enlarge, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Several giant crimson sword energies instantly formed, and the surrounding seawater almost boiled and churned in an instant, bringing up a series of bubbles.

"call out--!"

Sword energy crisscrossed the water at lightning speed, precisely striking several sea kings who had come after hearing the sound.

"Aww!!!"

At the same moment the sword energy struck, several loud screams rang out, and Kilo's mind was jolted.

[Deep-sea king defeated, points +7]

[Medium-sized sea king defeated, +5 points]

[Small sea king killed, points +2]

As those powerful auras disappeared, the feeling of being coveted vanished instantly.

Clearly, the sea kings who were watching nearby chose to retreat immediately after witnessing such a terrifying scene from Kilo.

The journey became much easier from then on. The small boat smoothly passed through the thousands of meters of buoyancy, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared on the sea above.

"Are we finally arriving in the new world?"

Under the midday sun, several flying fish leap and splash on the shimmering blue sea.

Everything was so ordinary.

next moment.

A small boat leaped lightly out of the water, splashing water everywhere, and finally landed smoothly on the sea.

Kilo stood on the small boat, looking around at the familiar, bright, and colorful sea, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It's finally here—"

"A New World!"

Although his physical condition meant he wouldn't feel uncomfortable staying at a depth of 10,000 meters, he still preferred the vibrant outdoors to the oppressive atmosphere of the deep sea.

Just as he was stretching lazily, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow rapidly approaching from behind.

He turned around and found that the clouds above were turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sky, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly turned into an endless expanse of black clouds, and the sea surface suddenly became pitch black.

Meanwhile, in the approaching clouds not far away, Kilo vaguely sensed the aura of thunder.

Seeing this familiar scene, Kiro's lips twitched. "No way—"

"Arriving in the new world and immediately encountering thunderstorms and torrential rain?"

"This is the new world with its terrible weather? This is just too awful!"

Looking at his simple boat, Kilo didn't think it could provide him with enough shelter; he didn't want to end up soaked to the bone at sea.

He immediately pulled out his backpack, rummaged through it, and found the island pointer that was closest to his current location.

Upon seeing the island's name, he paused, his expression turning somewhat strange.

"—Honeycomb Island?"

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Pirate Paradise? A gathering place for hordes of pirates? An excellent information exchange center?"

Kilo had no idea that he was so close to this infamous island.

If it were anyone else, upon seeing this island, a paradise for pirates teeming with powerful individuals, they would most likely avoid it at all costs and steer clear of it.

But if it's Kilo, who's currently short of numbers—

Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power to create a strong wind, propelling the small boat swiftly toward the direction indicated by the pointer.

I never expected that such a good thing would come to my door when I was just short of numbers!

Kilo licked his lips, a sense of excitement rising within him.

I wonder how many points he can get from these vicious pirates this time?
