Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Blood splattered wherever he passed, and the attacks were so fast that many contestants were injured before they could even see clearly.

"Finally, someone worth watching has arrived."

Feeling the dazzling sword intent that was coming straight at him without any concealment, Zoro's calm eyes also became more colorful, and he held the sword in one hand in front of him to meet the target.

A white figure broke away from the crowd, his cloak fluttering in the wind.

Cavendish flew at a high speed almost close to the ground, and appeared in front of Zoro in the blink of an eye. He bent his right arm and stabbed straight out with his rapier!

"Beautiful Sword: Bluebird!!"

The rapier was incredibly fast, wrapped in a powerful airflow and burst out instantly as it thrust forward!

Zoro did not underestimate the enemy at all. With veins on his arms exposed, he swung his long sword from bottom to top!

Clang! !

Cold fronts collided and sparks flew.

“Blocked?!”

The rapier was lifted up, and Cavendish couldn't believe that his extremely fast frontal attack was blocked by the sword!

"You seem to have a hard time accepting this result?"

Zoro chuckled softly, raised Wado Ichimonji with one hand, and chopped it down with a heavy sword!

Clang! !

"Good weight!"

Cavendish hastily blocked with his sword, but the brutal and powerful force startled him and he slid back dozens of meters while his feet scraped the ground.

Brutal but not rough, the two contradictory words, brutal and exquisite, are perfectly integrated in each other's knife.

"Such brutal swordsmanship is unheard of."

Sticking the sword into the ground to steady himself, Cavendish looked up with fear.

"The noble pirate was actually defeated! Who on earth is this Roja? Let's focus on these two powerful swordsmen!"

Gaz was extremely excited.

Cavendish, who was the focus of the whole audience, suddenly ran into a wall at the hands of another unknown strong man. This comic scene instantly ignited the passion of the whole audience without even his explanation!

The bullfighting arena is located above the entire building.

Several cloaked figures hid on the rooftop where no one was paying attention, secretly watching the arena below.

"Cavendish, I remember you told me about him, Ace. He was a super rookie who entered the New World a year later than you."

Yamato was a little excited and seemed unable to restrain himself from jumping down to fight.

Ace smiled softly, "No wonder this guy was so popular back then, he's pretty good looking."

"Cavendish entered the New World three years ago as the 'Gorgeous Supernova' with a bounty of 2 million."

Marco smiled and said, "In terms of fame, this guy is more famous than Ace, whose bounty is 5 million. He caused quite a stir at the time."

"I also have a deep impression of him. He is a young man with great talent in swordsmanship, but."

Bista joked: "It is rumored that the other party is a very arrogant guy in private."

"Hahaha, that's much more interesting."

Ace smiled and looked at Cavendish with interest, "Why not invite him to try when you can."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you interested already?"

"That's too casual, idiot Ace."

"Well, that's the way our captain is."

Several captains behind him joked with a smile, and Ace just smiled casually.

A shadow moved along the wall and climbed up to the roof, then came beside them and merged into Reiner's shape.

Damn, this bastard is here to steal again.

The undead Reiner walked up with disdain, "So it's the famous sea emperor. He's sneaking around like that. I thought he was a rat in some stinky ditch."

"Hey, the annoying guy is here." Marco picked his ears, his dead fish eyes full of disgust.

Yamato grinned and rushed forward with his mace in hand. "Let's fight again, Reiner. I'm much stronger this time."

"Come on, it's only been a few days."

Reiner waved his index finger casually, and the shadow stretched out and connected with Yamato, who stretched out a black hand and grabbed his ankle directly.

boom!

After passing Yamato who had fallen flat on the ground, Reiner walked over to Ace and sat cross-legged, saying calmly:

"The situation in Dressrosa this time is far more complicated than it seems. There are too many troops coming from all sides. Most likely Kaido has set a trap for you."

This is Reiner's own speculation.

Bakin is not Doflamingo. There is no reason for someone as greedy as her to release the news about the devil fruit. There must be some purpose behind it.

If we were to say who the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is most attractive to, besides Blackbeard, it would be Ace and his gang.

It just so happens that the two groups have a deep hatred for each other, not to mention that Kaido and Whitebeard's gang also have grudges, so it is very likely that they are trying to lure Ace to his death.

Of course, this is just his guess out of a narrow-minded mind. If Reiner were Kaido, he would definitely do the same.

"And the navy, with so many troops deployed, they may be planning to catch you in one fell swoop before you become a powerful force."

Reiner glanced at Ace. Whether the other party admitted it or not, as the surviving bloodline of Roger, he had always been a thorn in the eyes of the World Government.

It was like this two years ago, and it won’t change now.

The World Government generally would not easily declare war on a large pirate group of this level, but if there is a chance to take them down, given Akainu's style, he will definitely not let it go easily.

"I know. Marco has speculated about this as well."

Ace nodded. "Teach has been searching for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit for so long, and this time he is probably hiding in the dark and ready to make a move, but."

"No matter what, Dad's fruit must not fall into the hands of that traitor."

Ace's eyes were determined, he would not mind even if the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was taken away by Reiner.

Whether it was the previous Impel Down or the Battle of Marineford, Luffy and his crew were indebted to the Whitebeard Pirates.

If the Zhenzhen Fruit were given to them, I believe everyone would be happy to accept it, and it wouldn't matter even if it fell into the hands of someone else.

Only Teach is absolutely not allowed!

"It's not as serious as you think. At least the Navy and Kaidou will never form a united front. Besides."

Reiner smiled and said, "I just got a group of helpers, the Revolutionary Army."

"Revolutionary Army? How did you get involved with those guys?" Ace looked over in confusion.

"Dragon is Luffy's father whom he has never met, and Ivankov is also our friend, so we have some connection," Reiner said with a smile.

I couldn't help but glance at Ace again, besides, Sabo was still your brother.

"Anyway, it's a long story. Just remember that they are friendly. I'm just worried about whether Kaido will show up. Have you guys revealed your whereabouts yet?"

"Well, this operation is very cautious, and the ship also made a detour and stopped on the uninhabited north shore, so it shouldn't be exposed." Marco replied.

As the think tank of the Whitebeard Pirates, he had considered this action many times.

The risk was huge, but the news of Zhenzhen's resurrection was like a thorn in their hearts, and they couldn't remain unmoved.

"Don't be too confident. Don Quixote doesn't know, but the Revolutionary Army has discovered you."

Reiner stood up and looked at Ace. "That Green Bull guy is participating in the competition in disguise. He is a user of the Natural-type Mori-Mori Fruit. Your ability can restrain him. When the fight comes, I'll leave it to you."

"Hey you guy!"

Yamato was immediately unhappy. He stamped his feet, put his hands on his hips and yelled at Reiner: "Why should our captain listen to your orders!"

"Well, it's okay, Yamato, there's nothing wrong with this arrangement." Ace smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to stop her.

Marco couldn't help but laugh and said, "The fight hasn't even started yet, you haven't arranged everything yet."

They all have witnessed Reiner's command and deployment capabilities, and his performance in the Battle of Marineford has conquered everyone.

Plus his own strength is unfathomable.

Marco couldn't help but sigh secretly, with such a competitor, it would not be easy for Ace to reach the top of the sea.

"I'll probably have to owe you a favor again this time. If you continue like this, I won't be able to repay you in the future." Ace sighed with a smile.

Marco patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as we are still on the sea, there will always be a day when we can help them."

"Marco is still the best."

Reiner jokingly said: "The position of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet's First Squadron is reserved for you. Remember to come whenever you are called. Now I am leaving."

After saying that, Reiner waved his hand and turned back into a shadow, then walked away along the ground.

"what?!"

"The First Division of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet?!"

"What does this bastard mean!"

Ace and his group were furious and cursed at Shadow as he left.

In the arena.

"Beautiful Sword·Swan Lake!"

Cavendish leaped above Zoro, and a dense stream of sword light poured down like a torrential rain.

Zoro stood still with his body steady, holding his long sword horizontally and swinging it slightly, accurately blocking the opponent's sword tip each time.

Cavendish became more and more frightened as the fight went on. He had been on the sea for several years, but he had never heard of such an expert in swordsmanship.

Suddenly a hurricane arose, as sharp as a blade, and completely sucked him into the center of the vortex, tearing his body open one after another.

"Black Rope Tornado!!"

Seeing that his body was about to fly out of the ring out of control, Cavendish was suddenly shocked.

He exerted his core strength and swung a sword energy towards the sky, using the reaction force to flip over a few times and fall towards Zoro's position.
