One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

Knight led the group back to the port of Punk Hazard, selected a larger ship, and set sail.

"Owner,"

On the bow of the boat, Luna asked softly, "Where should we go next?"

Not only him, but the fugitives behind him also cast solemn glances at him.

Ultimately, they had no idea what this person wanted to do.

"The latter part of the journey to the New World,"

Knight said calmly, "There is a blank area between the territories of the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates."

Shanks has not yet become the new emperor. Although the Red-Haired Pirates have lent their flag to some islands, there are many islands and countries in that sea that no one cares about.

"I need to find a non-member country with a large enough population. My world needs more residents."

"Yes."

Luna nodded solemnly.

Barkingom seemed thoughtful.

Is the filling of that world with more inhabitants simply because this lord wants to gain more subjects, or does it serve some other purpose for him?

"grown ups,"

At this moment, Anthony cautiously asked, "Speaking of which, how should we address you?"

It feels a little strange that I've always addressed him as "Master".

"call?"

Knight was slightly taken aback.

I've never really thought about something like this.

Yes, the expansion is about to officially begin. So, how should those who enter the dream world refer to themselves?

"Let's call him the Night King."

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Knight said.

Knight means night.

Ordinary people only enter dreams at night.

Therefore, he himself is the king of the night.

"The Night King?"

Anthony repeated himself, then bowed respectfully, "Understood, Lord Night King!"

"Lord Night King!"

The fugitives shouted in unison.

It's quite imposing.

The ship carrying everyone quickly sailed away, and shortly after they left, a figure flew back from afar.

Somewhat disheveled, Doflamingo cautiously approached Punk Hazard, scanning it with his Observation Haki again and again. Only after confirming that the auras were gone did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief. "They're gone? What a bunch of monsters!"

This group's strength is a bit too exaggerated.

Looking across the entire New World, only a few dominant pirate crews could surpass them, right?

but.

"Don't think it's over yet."

Doflamingo gave a strange smile. "It seems the Charlotte Family and the Beast Pirates are both looking for you."

Judging from the direction they left, we can roughly guess the route they chose.

Although the Log Pose in the New World has three selectable routes after recording the magnetic field on each island, the actual search area is not large, at least not for those two monsters.

Well then, I'll help those monsters out.

But before that.

Doflamingo suddenly plummeted towards the island below.

Fufufufu, let's go see if there's anything here that I can help with.

On the sea some distance from Punk Hazard.

Five warships of the naval guerrilla force are rapidly approaching with the wind.

Zephyr stood at the bow of the ship, his face full of anxiety. Without turning his head, he asked, "Still no news?"

Behind him, Vice Admiral Simon shook his head. "No, I'm afraid the situation in Punk Hazard is not good right now."

This headquarters has maintained contact with Punk Hazard.

The problem is that those people have some means of destroying Den Den Mushi in advance, so they have no way of knowing the current situation of Punk Hazard.

The only certainty is that they are likely unstoppable there, and no one can stop them.

The only good news is that Dr. Vegapunk has temporarily escaped Punk Hazard under the protection of his bodyguards.

"hateful!"

Zefa clenched his fists.

It's too late!

Even if he came, even if Sakazuki personally went out, it was too late!

It was at this moment that Knight, who had been sleeping like a dead man on the deck in the shadows of the rear cabin, finally opened his eyes.

The matter over there has been settled; the men are now on their own heading to the latter part of the New World.

Well then, it's time to come back.

Knight sat up while yawning.

"You're sleeping soundly, aren't you?"

A somewhat somber voice came from the side.

Brigadier General Dor, she also sat quietly on a chair to the side, conserving her energy.

"Aren't we there yet?"

Knight rubbed his eyes and simply sat cross-legged on the deck.

"no."

Leaning against the cabin wall, Ain carefully wiped her two beloved short swords with a cloth as she replied in a deep voice.

"That's so slow."

Knight sighed.

That's why I chose this opportunity.

Am I a genius?

No matter how anxious I am, all I can do now is let it pass slowly.

Knight stared blankly for a while, then went to the restaurant for a meal to replenish his energy, before returning to the deck to stare blankly again.

That is, at this moment.

How much further?

A worried Zefa asked the question once again.

Lieutenant General Simon, still following behind him, answered again, "About fifty nautical miles."

"Fifty nautical miles?"

Zephyr paused slightly, then nodded firmly. "That's enough!"

Then he suddenly turned around, "Everyone, listen up!"

"Um?"

Knight, who was lost in thought, turned around somewhat blankly.

"The rest of you will proceed to Dressrosa as planned!"

Zephyr said seriously, "Anyone above the rank of squad leader, and Knight too, will use Moonwalk with me!"

"Oh?"

Knight raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, Professor Zephyr!"

Simon's expression immediately changed, and he quickly stopped him, saying, "Are you joking?"

Moonwalk isn't a move for traveling.

Strictly speaking, Moonwalk, like Tempest Kick, is an explosive technique that allows a player to cover dozens of nautical miles in one go. Zephyr might be fine with it, but for others—

"Running in the air is indeed very taxing."

Zephyr, however, asked, "Then, from the sea?"

Simon was taken aback.

If Moonwalk can step on air, then it can certainly step on water.

Water is much denser than air!

"I'll give it a try!"

Brigadier General Dor had already flipped over and jumped off the ship's side.

Just as she was about to plunge into the sea, her right foot suddenly stomped on the water.

Huge waves burst open on the water's surface, propelling her slender body forward for dozens of meters.

When she touched the water again, the splash was much smaller, and she moved a shorter distance.

"Absolutely!"

She turned around and exclaimed, "It's much less taxing! Even I should be able to manage!"

"Let's go!"

Zefa gave the order.

So, we set off.

What else could Knight say?

Consider it a form of training, and immediately joined the generals in diving into the sea.

"Knight! Watch out!"

Ain leaned out from the ship's side and said this.

Knight looked up at the woman.

You've really been underestimated, Ain. Do you think Brother Knight needs to be careful?

Run, no matter what.

Knight reduced his strength slightly, but still created huge waves on the water's surface, propelling his body forward like a rocket, shaving it clean.

After reducing the power by several gears, it was able to run on the sea surface as if it were flat ground.

Well, since we're wading through water, we should definitely do the ninja run with our arms swinging back. Scientific research shows that this posture can significantly reduce wind resistance.

With Zephyr leading the way, Knight followed closely behind, and Lieutenant General Simon and others lagging behind, the group of ten raced toward Punk Hazard.

Although the energy expenditure was much less, they were still on the water and it didn't last long before the five brigadiers, represented by Dol, began to breathe rapidly.

"Hang in there! It's not far off!"

Zefa encouraged her in this way.

Knight proved that Professor Zephyr was lying, and that they had only run a third of the distance at most.

However, it must be said that although Dol and the others were a bit weak, their willpower was still good. Even when they were panting heavily and sweating profusely, they did not utter a sound.

Soon, the lush island came into view.

Zefa was clearly quite familiar with the place, and he led everyone around to the broken-down gate before finally entering the base.

"..."

The devastation at the port made Zefa grit his teeth inwardly.

A large number of corpses lay scattered here, each one twisted and gruesome.

Knight, who was following behind Zephyr, tilted his head slightly. Did he kill that many people?

Zephyr took a deep breath and turned around. "Can you still hold on?"

The question wasn't about Knight, of course.

Knight was in excellent condition, and he used Haki to assist him; the flowing Armament Haki could be used as a jet engine.

However, this is not the case for others.

Even Lieutenant General Simon was panting heavily, the two major generals were pale, and the five brigadier generals had collapsed to the ground.

"No, no, it's no problem..."

Brigadier General Dorr braced himself on the ground, struggling to stand up, and said breathlessly.

Zefa frowned slightly.

That was a bit hasty.

Should we not have brought some of the squad leaders along?

But in any case, we can't leave them here right now.

So, the group followed the passage deeper into the base.

Fortunately, Dor and the others gradually recovered, and at least their fighting strength was restored to some extent.

"Um?"

Knight slightly raised his eyes.

"Why are you taking so long to arrive!"

A plume of smoke drifted out from the depths of the passage.

Then, in front of everyone, it materialized into the shape of Caesar, "A bunch of useless trash! I was scared to death!!"

Knight's lips twitched slightly.

That's quite a foul mouth.

laugh.

The next instant, he had vanished from the spot.

"Huh?"

Caesar, still furious, was stunned for a moment, and then a hand radiating domineering power grabbed his face.

"Croak!"

Caesar felt like his head was about to explode. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Have mercy! Have mercy!!"

Despite his towering stature, Blake's body was now curled up like a shrimp, kneeling on the ground.

Zephyr's lips twitched slightly. "Nate, that's not an enemy, it's Dr. Caesar from the science class."

"Yeah?"

Knight casually released his grip. "So arrogant, I thought you were an enemy."

"Wow!"

Caesar was sent tumbling backward like a cannonball until he slammed his head against the wall behind him. He covered his face and screamed in pain, leaving five clear finger marks on his face.

"Dr. Caesar, how is Punk Hazard?"

Zefa asked directly, "Where are those people?"

"How would I, a genius, know!"

Caesar replied irritably.

He glanced cautiously at Knight, and nearly got crushed by the guy!

Just wait and see how I'll report you!

Knight gave him a half-smile, and Caesar immediately looked away, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"That bastard Vegapunk ran away, so this genius has no choice but to find somewhere to hide!"

Caesar snorted, "You only dared to come out when you arrived! In the end, it's because you were too slow!"

I have to say, this guy's acting was pretty good; he perfectly embodied the character who knew nothing.

His attitude was a bit arrogant.

Zephyr didn't care about Caesar's attitude; he simply looked up abruptly into the depths of the passage.

"Fufufufu, you really came too late, Black Arm Zephyr, those guys have already run away."

Accompanied by a strange laugh, a figure slowly emerged from the depths of the passage.

Oh, Dover, you're still here.

Knight raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This is an unexpected surprise, isn't it?

Coincidentally, I also wanted to test my current strength.

Enough said, Dover, about benevolence and righteousness!
