The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

She was practically lawless in the Holy Land because of Luther's status and position; only a few people had to give way to her.

Coincidentally, Figaland Garin was one of them.

"If you want, you can give them a taste of their own medicine. After all, their public identity is that of pirates now," Gion said calmly.

"Oh? Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Hancock paused for a moment, a strange light gleaming in her eyes as she looked at the pirate ship.

On the other side, the Red Fosse.

"Hey, Captain, isn't that a World Government ship up ahead?"

"Ben Dik Snake, the navigator of the Red-Haired Pirates, shouted, his voice tinged with a hint of fear."

Generally speaking, pirates fear two types of ships the most at sea.

One type is naval warships, and the other is ships belonging to the World Government.

In particular, the Red-Haired Pirates recently encountered the World Government ship that Zephyr was traveling on. If Zephyr hadn't been traveling with children and if they hadn't run fast enough, they would have been wiped out at sea.

Since then, the Red-Haired Pirates have had a lingering fear of the World Government's ships.

"Snake, what are you afraid of?"

The fat chef, Lucky Roux, grinned as he munched on some meat.

"Where on the East Blue World Government's ship could there possibly be two monsters like Zephyr?"

Something's not right. Prepare for battle!

Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Sea Swamp, looked toward the ship Gion was on, his voice heavy with apprehension.

With his Observation Haki, he discovered some incredible information.

"Tsk, what a terrifying aura."

Sniper Yasopp, who had been lying on the deck, got up and looked out at Gion, who was now standing at the bow of the ship.

"Honestly, another troublesome enemy."

Shanks, the red-haired man, also walked onto the deck, looking helplessly at Gion who was getting closer and closer.

He's not in good shape right now, because he stayed behind to cover Zephyr's retreat and is still wrapped in bandages.

If he were to truly face off against Gion, he had no doubt that he wouldn't even last a single move.

Moreover, given the distance between them, it would be too late for them to run.

As a fellow swordsman, he knew his opponent's attack range very well.

hum!

A sharp, domineering aura rose from Gion's body.

Shanks' expression hardened slightly, and he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without hesitation.

The other party has already unleashed Conqueror's Haki; if he does nothing, it would be disrespectful.

hum! ! !

Two dominant colors intersected in the sky.

The once calm sea suddenly became turbulent.

In the sky, the colors of red and pink each occupied half, briefly creating a stalemate.

Even though they were evenly matched, it still surprised the Red-Haired Pirates.

You know, they've never seen anyone whose Conqueror's Haki can rival Shanks'.

However, when they thought about Gion's identity...

The world's greatest swordsman, CP0, a top-tier fighter who can rival the Golden Lion.

With all these titles combined, one would think he's someone at the very top of the world.

On the contrary, their captain seemed to have nothing outstanding about him except that he was the executive officer of the Roger Pirates.

Upon realizing this, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates were all shaken and looked at their captain with admiration.

Sure enough, our captain is a monster.

"Hey, what's with that look on your faces? Can't you see how hard I'm working?"

Amidst the clash of Conqueror's Haki, Shanks also had time to glare at his own crew members a few times.

He actually felt relieved when he encountered Gion's Conqueror's Haki.

The fact that the other party didn't seem to want to fight made him feel much more relaxed.

But...

Shanks laughed twice, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki to its fullest extent, and shouted towards Gion, who was already approaching:

"Momosaurus-senpai, may I see your sword?"

Chapter 218 Senior, I hope you will accept me as your disciple.

The moment Shanks uttered those words, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates all paled.

But it was only for a moment. They immediately drew their weapons and looked at Gion with fighting spirit.

Are they courting death?

Hancock looked at the opposite side strangely. She had originally planned to go up and stretch her legs, but now she stopped herself.

Playing against a bunch of idiots, she always felt like she would be dragged down to the same level.

She crossed her arms and looked at the person opposite her with a mocking expression.

Although she disliked Gion, she was genuinely impressed by her strength.

Anyway, it's probably not realistic for her to defeat Gion within the next ten years.

Gion tilted her head slightly, her sharp eyes sweeping over the entire Red-Haired Pirates crew.

No wonder His Highness has such high hopes for him.

Looking at Shanks, who was less than a hundred meters away and still wrapped in bandages, Gion said calmly:

"One move, one mass!"

Shanks, who has not yet experienced the New World and is injured, is not worth her using her full strength.

Upon hearing Gion's agreement, Shanks' expression turned slightly serious, and he shouted:

"Brothers! Ready!"

"it is good!"

The Red-Haired Pirates raised their weapons in unison and stood behind Shanks.

"A good team."

After praising it, Gion did not draw Kinpira, but instead, on a whim, drew a short sword that was 30cm long.

Upon seeing the sword in Gion's hand, the Red-Haired Pirates, including Shanks, showed signs of anger.

Using only a small knife is undoubtedly a sign of disrespect towards them.

Before they could think any further, they saw a layer of flowing Armament Haki covering the dagger in Gion's hand.

Immediately afterwards, a bewitching mist of blood appeared on the surface of the knife.

Finally, a sizzling Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the dagger.

In an instant, the knife had acquired an aura capable of cutting through anything.

Upon seeing the knife, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates changed color once again.

Even before the blade strikes, they already feel an overwhelming sense of invincibility.

They no longer felt that Gion looked down on them; it was entirely their own incompetence.

Before they could think further, the small knife in Gion's hand fell lightly to the ground:

"Peach Dance - Small Slash!"

Having chosen a random name, Gion drew a small crescent moon with her knife, and a flying slash shot into the sky.

boom!!!!

The moment the strike was unleashed was earth-shattering!

On the vast sea, the sky suddenly darkened, as if the world consisted only of this one slash.

"drink!!!"

Shanks roared and drew his rapier, charging towards the crescent-shaped slash.

boom!!!

But his figure was like a moth drawn to a flame. The rapier, which was covered in ordinary Armament Haki, flew out of his hand the moment it made contact with the blade.

At the same time, all his bandages burst open, and as if he were being slowly sliced ​​to death, countless knife marks suddenly appeared on his body.

In an instant, he fell from the sky and lost his ability to fight.

The slash bypassed Shanks and continued towards the Red Voss.

None of the members of the Red-Haired Pirates backed down; they all charged forward, shouting.

The sniper pulls the trigger, the swordsman wields his sword, and the martial arts expert charges in with his body.

In an instant, the group collided with the slash.

boom!!!

Unfortunately, despite their large numbers, they appeared so insignificant in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

The slash passed over them, leaving countless tiny wounds on their bodies, before striking the pirate flag of the Red Fox and leaving a crescent mark.

Seeing that the pirate flag was damaged, every member of the Red-Haired Pirates had a look of resentment on their face.

But this one strike also made them acutely aware of the gap in their strength.
