Chapter 165: Famous Pirate Yasopp (45)
The beasts of the Pirate World were not merely beasts. The "Human Mimickers" on Krakai Island that had caused Zoro so much trouble, and the beasts on Rusukaina Island that averaged Doflamingo's strength, all proved that even the animals in the forests of the Pirate World possessed terrifying power.
Beast Island was no exception.
If not for the forceful presence of the three great pirate crews, those beasts would have been the uncrowned kings of Beast Island.
Boom!
A tremendous crash erupted. Beasts fled in all directions, and birds shrieked in alarm.
Within the forest, a Giant Rhinoceros was embedded in the ground, its four legs pointing skyward and its eyes wide open. It had clearly been knocked unconscious by a single punch from Longinus, who stood atop it.
"It didn't die? It seems the creatures on this island truly aren't ordinary," Longinus murmured.
Though it had merely been a casual punch, given his current strength, even members of the Giant Race would struggle to take one of his offhand blows without injury. The fact that this rhinoceros had only been wounded instead of killed was enough to draw attention.
"If even an ordinary rhinoceros has this kind of strength, then the Griffin, king of the forest, will only be stronger. In that case, World hasn't fallen quite as far as I thought."
Just then, the sound of light applause came from the canopy overhead.
Clap~ clap~ clap~
"As expected of Captain Longinus, the Marine Hero. That brute chased me for quite a while, yet it couldn't even take one punch from you, Captain."
Following the voice, Longinus saw a sniper standing on a tree trunk, a sniper rifle slung over his back and dressed like a street thug as he clapped his hands.
