"I look forward to your challenge to my swordsmanship."
In a word.
He was the man who defeated Shiki in swordsmanship.
Shiki was extremely frustrated when he realized his goal had failed. His swordsmanship was inferior to this little rascal's, and the little rascal's swordsmanship had become more refined and superb because of this... This was very embarrassing.
Then, he laughed wildly, "Heh~ Hahaha! The stuff you ate tasted like shit! Did you almost throw up?"
"I really don't know how to describe the taste." Kahn asked with a hint of surprise and realization, "So...Ski, you've eaten shit?"
"...You little bastard!" Shiki was enraged by Kahn's calm yet slightly emotional words. The brat's self-righteous tone was infuriating. If it weren't for the fact that he had taken a liking to this little bastard, he would have chopped him to pieces!
Wang Zhi reminded him, "Ski, don't cross the line. Kahn is still a child."
Shiki's expression immediately became almost as if he had eaten a Devil Fruit again.
"Uncle Newgate, where's Whitey Bay?" Kahn was quite curious; the first person the future world's strongest man adopted was a little girl.
Newgate's gaze sharpened as he scrutinized the boy for a few moments, then he nodded with satisfaction. "There aren't many little guys like you. It's a pity you're not my son. It's an honor for my daughter to know you, and she'll understand in the future that knowing you was her greatest fortune."
"Dad!"
“Look,” Newgate pointed and laughed, “here it is.”
After buying some trinkets from afar, Whittyby returned here.
Katakuri blushed and quickly hid behind Kahn; this older sister was different.
“We meet again.” Kahn waved, then pulled Katakuri out from behind him and introduced him: “Charlotte Katakuri, a wonderful man who wants to protect his younger siblings.”
Whittybe asked curiously, "And you?"
"Francis Kahn".
“You can call him the King.” A sudden remark was made between the two, and Shiki, who had succeeded, laughed excitedly, completely ignoring Kahn’s darkening expression.
Kahn?
It's that kid Dad always talks about!
Whitey Bay noticed the change in atmosphere, but she still found it interesting. Both Cain and Shiki were interesting; they were quite different from ordinary pirates.
Wang Zhi frowned, wondering if he shouldn't have made the decision to name Kahn without his consent.
"Something interesting seems to have happened. You guys didn't even wait for me. That's not very nice of you." A man with dreadlocks, carrying a bottle of rum in one hand and groping a hot woman in his arms with the other, appeared before everyone, swaying as he walked.
This person is the great pirate John, with a free and unrestrained temperament, giving people the feeling of being both righteous and evil, and is a madman who is no less than Shiki.
"Luckily, I have good hearing, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed you. By the way, did Captain Rocks have us gather here?" John was clearly still drunk. He pinched the woman next to him hard, and after hearing her seductive moan, he sobered up considerably.
Looking around at everyone, John said, "I think I've come to the wrong place."
"Hahaha! You bastard, stop talking nonsense! Just say you're here to see Wang Zhi!" Shiki changed his target and whistled, "In the pirate crew, who doesn't know that you love chasing after Wang Zhi?"
"Go away!" John said with a look of disgust towards Shiki, "I have nothing to say to you, you're a lunatic. Your swordsmanship is no match for that brat Kahn, and you still won't admit it!"
Both Smith and John are lunatics and don't respect each other.
Wang Zhi interrupted, "If you want to catch up, do it later. Let's hurry to the gathering place."
The group set off for Lox's favorite bar, which is now the largest bar on the island.
Enter the bar.
Three women surrounded Kahn and Katakuri.
"Katakuri's already this big?" A petite girl with short blonde hair and a loli-like appearance named Bakin stared at Katakuri and Kahn with fiery eyes. She had received help from Newgate once on the ship and gained a foothold by waving the flag.
If only we could kidnap these two...
"Kahn and Katakuri are people I've watched grow up; they're both destined for greatness." The beautiful and well-proportioned female pirate named Shakky smiled broadly. She was one of the more capable women on the ship, skilled in intelligence work.
"These two little ones are so cute." The speaker was a woman whose beauty far surpassed that of the previous two, dressed in a samurai kimono, with fair skin and a beautiful face.
This stunning woman has a connection with Kaido and has slept with Shiki, thus holding a certain position in the Rocks Pirates. She occasionally transforms into Shiki's appearance to tease Cain and is a Paramecia-type Imitation Fruit user.
These three women are all extremely ambitious, and in some ways even more dangerous than the naive Charlotte Linlin.
"Hehehehehe!" Lox's loud laughter echoed from inside the bar.
The Rocks Pirates' culture is really bad. Even Rocks' smile makes him look like a major villain. If it weren't for his charisma and strength, the ship would have disbanded long ago, and there would have been no need to wait until God Valley.
Chapter 6 Lox
The Rocks Pirates are not as inhuman as outsiders claim. While there are occasional conflicts and clashes between the various factions, they never turn against each other, nor would they do anything foolish like fighting amongst themselves in front of outsiders.
Unless the Rocks Pirates are on the verge of collapse.
Otherwise, it wouldn't disperse.
However, the strict hierarchy and clear distinctions in status are indeed true.
But this is the same everywhere.
The bar was an environment where the higher one's status and the stronger one's strength, the closer one was to Rocks. Of course, people like Newgate, Wang Zhi, John, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, and Silver Axe were not included in this category.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Rocks Pirates would know that these six individuals hold a position second only to Rocks himself within the crew.
There's no need to fight behind the scenes for a position like a nobody.
The combat power of these six officers is terrifying; they are all among the top pirates on the high seas, each with their own strengths.
John, who seems unconventional, has many tricks up his sleeve, is incredibly powerful, has a wildly imaginative mind, and is always ready to unleash his hidden cards. Apart from being greedy and lustful, he has no other major flaws.
Kahn simply couldn't understand John's thought process as a pirate.
He seems to like following behind Wang Zhi...
Charlotte Linlin possesses the greatest talent, known as the 'Born Destroyer'. At the age of five, she destroyed the Giant Village and defeated the Giant Elder, revealing astonishing potential and strength.
Newgate is the strongest man in the future world, with the greatest destructive power.
Shiki possesses bizarre abilities, is a top-tier swordsman, and exudes an aura of overwhelming power and arrogance. He is poised to become the world's greatest swordsman and the captain of three legendary pirate crews.
Wang Zhi... the world's greatest swordsman of this era, obsessed with swords throughout his life.
The Silver Axe, known for its extremely evil reputation.
As for who among the six was the strongest, Kahn wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but he knew who was the weakest: the great pirate Silver Axe, a monster capable of rivaling Jabba, the third-ranking member of Roger's crew.
It's easy to imagine how terrifying the Rocks Pirates were.
Of course, the Rocks Pirates' many heinous deeds are not entirely fabricated. After all, the general level of education in this world is not high, let alone that of pirates. Most of the lower-ranking pirates are of questionable character and become no different from livestock once they taste blood.
The Rocks that Kahn knew was not an incredibly intelligent pirate, but he was above average, a shrewd, powerful, domineering, and wild pirate.
"Hehehe!" Rocks laughed wildly as he drank rum. "Oh~ let me see, has this little brat Kahn grown up so much? Come here, I'll make you a man."
Wang Zhi stopped him, saying, "Captain, Kahn shouldn't be drinking."
What does it have to do with anything?
"Can a pirate be called a pirate if he doesn't drink alcohol?"
"I think this little rascal has a bright future! Wang Zhi, you can't keep supporting him as he walks!" Locke made no attempt to hide his praise for the child, displaying his usual style, the magnanimity and confidence of a king.
"One cup is fine, but too much will affect my swordsmanship." Kahn walked towards Rocks, surrounded by malicious eyes. Many pirates were even watching the spectacle, and there were many new faces, more than ever before.
Some ignorant and fearless pirates deliberately tried to stop them, hoping to see them make a fool of themselves.
"This brat has the nerve to say he can drink? Hahaha! That's hilarious! Captain Rocks just teased him, and he actually believed it!"
Have you ever been with a woman?
"Tsk tsk tsk! Last time I snatched a mother and daughter pair of beauties and played with them in front of the men. It was so much fun!"
The pirate still remembers the voluptuous woman's tragic beauty and desperate eyes, which made him so excited that he stabbed her daughter to death on the spot, unable to have his fill of pleasure.
He actually enjoyed the man's angry and helpless gaze.
“Let me tell you…” he said proudly and in detail, recounting the events of that time.
The surrounding pirates burst into laughter, and the scene became chaotic and unruly.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Sword flashes passed by, and corpses fell one after another.
To open up a path.
Kahn stepped over the head of the pirate, whose limbs were broken and who was still panting, and walked toward Rocks.
The bar fell silent.
After a period of silence, a group of pirates swarmed forward, tearing the pirate apart and stealing everything he once owned, leaving only a pool of blood on the field.
The lower-ranking pirates were celebrating wildly, screaming.
This scene fully exposes the ugliness of human nature.
It's incredibly realistic.
It's the same in any world; in darkness, such things are commonplace.
Rocks watched this scene with a cold gaze, perhaps numb, or perhaps he had grown accustomed to it. He used to loathe such scenes, thinking that pirates shouldn't be a bunch of clowns. But later he realized that not all pirates were like him, or as he had imagined. Most of them were laughable, foolish, and idiots.
He never cared about the lives of these pirates.
If something has no value, no one will care about the idea of garbage.
Rocks couldn't manage all the pirates; he only cared about the ones he wanted to manage. As a result, the Rocks Pirates lost wave after wave of pirates. Only the pirates from the six major factions retained some familiar faces, while the rest were worthless in his eyes.
A kind heart cannot command an army.
This idiom can also be applied to pirates. If these fools don't have enough strength to stand out, Rocks won't pay them much attention.
The vast majority of the Rocks Pirates' misdeeds were caused by fools who wouldn't live long.
“Little guy, look at these idiots, how ridiculous they are.”
“It’s really ridiculous.” Kahn sipped his decent-tasting rum and said under Wang Zhi’s helpless gaze, “The quality of the pirates we’ve been recruiting lately has been getting worse and worse. Captain, there are many monsters on the sea, but it’s impossible for a top-tier monster to appear among this group of pirates.”
