"Alright."
Just as the bald, burly man was talking about his grand plan to raise cats, the door to their cabin was pushed open.
The man who entered was an old man with a long white beard. He hunched over and gave everyone a deep smile, then clapped his hands gently.
"Trouble is already at our doorstep. Do you still think this is just one of those boring games you've played before?"
Now, we are leaving the coastline because our target stands at sea, challenging us.
Both observations and the limited intelligence received from the authorities suggest that the strength of our target is at least at the level of a so-called god.
Perhaps at this stop, we are foolish dragon slayers challenging Odin; one wrong move and we'll be heading straight to hell.
Or, go to Valhalla, haha!
As he spoke, the captain waved to the group, and the three men immediately left the sofa and followed the captain to the ship's side.
Looking at the raging Thunderstorm in the sky, and then at Gawain, who seemed to be standing at the center of the Thunderstorm.
The Red-Haired Shanks woman gently licked her wrist.
"That's our goal, it's so beautiful!"
And even nature seems to be on his side, using this kind of weather to set him off?
"No, Hill, this isn't natural weather!"
The captain interrupted the Red-Haired Shanks woman and then said gravely.
"Just two minutes ago, the sky over the sea was clear and cloudless. Do you really think it's possible for a Thunderstorm of this scale to develop in just two minutes?"
So, our enemy this time might really be Odin, or even Zeus, haha, maybe the East Country's genetic engineering has caught up too."
"Tsk tsk, that sounds terrifying, but no matter how hard the East Country tries to catch up, their finished products will never be as mature as our weapons."
Even a god shouldn't think he can challenge a fully equipped aircraft carrier.
Or perhaps he gained power, but lost his intelligence?
The Red-Haired Shanks woman Hill, made a joking remark, then jumped onto the ship's railing and waved to Gawain from a distance.
But just as she waved her hand...
Her eyes suddenly widened, her eyelids bulged uncontrollably, and the hairs all over her body stood on end, while her long, swan-like neck...
Gawain was gripping her neck tightly in his hand!!!
Thump!
The woman instinctively threw a punch, but Gawain easily caught it.
Not far away, the bald, burly man rushed towards Gawain, attempting to rescue his teammate from Gawain's grasp first.
Behind him, the priest narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
"Is it a mirage-like illusion, or does he truly possess the speed to traverse several kilometers in an instant?"
I hope it's not the latter; otherwise, I'd like to call my daughter first!
"You're a pastor, and you have a daughter?"
The bearded captain spoke with a smile, simultaneously revealing his ghoul form, his body rapidly expanding like a gluttonous demon.
Before he could fully swell, Gawain's right hand had already pierced through Hill's chest, then through the bald, muscular man's shoulder blade, until it landed heavily on the captain's massive body.
A moment later...
Armament Haki, Ryuo!
The captain appeared motionless, but inside he had been bombarded beyond recognition, his flesh and internal organs indistinguishable...
Bang!
As the captain exploded, Gawain gently untied the two men piercing his arms.
As they slammed to the ground, Gawain turned to the stiff-bodied pastor in the distance and spoke.
"Hey buddy, there were four of you, and I only took down the ugliest one."
So, you should be able to feel my sincerity now, right?
So, haha, would you mind cooperating with me and doing a little experiment and recording it?
I know your weapons are very powerful, so powerful that you confidently came before me without knowing anything about me.
But do you really know how strong I am?
What a coincidence! Haha, I didn't even know I was that strong!
At this point, Gawain stopped laughing, because the priest opposite him was charging towards him.
But before the priest could fully transform, his left hand was torn off and thrown away by Gawain. The priest didn't even know when he lost his left hand!
The physical abilities of these top-tier ghouls in front of Gawain were truly impressive, especially that bald, muscular man, whose physical abilities were almost comparable to those of pirates with bounties of three to five hundred million.
However, in terms of skill, they are really far, far behind Gawain!
Lacking the Three Types of Haki and various techniques, they are practically helpless against the powerful figures in the Pirate World!
Gawain had absolutely no interest in enemies like that...
Thinking this, Gawain sighed, then casually picked up the Red-Haired Shanks woman who was struggling to get up.
They gently pulled the Red-Haired Shanks woman's head off and threw it into the sea.
Gawain then spoke to the bald, burly man who was struggling to get up.
"I heard you say before that you don't really like fighting, but you do like keeping cats and dogs?"
What a coincidence! I also like keeping cats and dogs, but I've never had the chance.
For the sake of the furry kids, can you understand me? I want to play a fun game with you.
Let's choose a location, something like a vast desert or a deep basin, the kind of place where you can test all your weapons.
I really don't know how strong I am, so I want to see my limits.
Nuclear weapons, space-based weapons, or even just send out the strongest god-level ghouls you've been talking about to play with me.
In short, I'll let you use whatever means you want, and I sincerely hope you can help me find my limits!
Of course, as a game, we should have a stake.
If I win the bet, and you truly have no means to restrain me.
From now on, when you see me, I hope you can lower your heads and behave well.
They should at least act as cute as pets like cats and dogs.
As for if you win the bet, then I am naturally already dead.
Without me making any bets, you can not only take back the future Tokyo from me, but you can also get what you are most interested in, namely my flesh and blood and genes.
See, this kind of game is very advantageous for you, isn't it?
So, you should tell your boss what I have to say.
At this point, Gawain waved his hand at the bald, burly man whose face was filled with terror.
On this bald, muscular man, Gawain discovered over two hundred signs of alteration; this guy was probably a man with a tragic past.
As for his cats, there were more than two hundred cats in his cabin, most of which were just stray breeds that were not worth much money.
Such a person, no matter how bad, won't be that bad. When their compassion overflows to the point of being willing to help animals, they are at least no more perverted than a pervert towards people.
So, Gawain the foul-mouthed woman without hesitation, but he kept the bald, muscular man.
However, simply doing this isn't enough to force the America to play games with him; Gawain needs to do much more.
He then waved to the burly man again, and then said with a light laugh.
"What I'm doing now is clearly not enough to increase your resolve to play this game with me. After all, losing only two ghouls is far too small a loss."
Because wherever there are people, life is not the most precious thing.
So, buddy, if I were you, I'd immediately find a small boat and protect all your cats.
Compared to animals, humans are far less innocent, so don't even think about notifying the rest of the crew on the aircraft carrier to escape.
A ship and many people—only such a number can show me your determination.
And incidentally, this will also prevent you from looking down on me the next time you see me.
Looking at your chins?
That's tiring, buddy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain reached to his waist and slowly pulled out his Shusui.
He then mentioned jumping off the ship's side, walking on air into the distance, right before the priest ghoul's astonished eyes.
Watching Gawain's retreating figure, the bald, burly man froze for a moment, then quickly ran towards his cabin!
He's someone who listens to advice, so he's determined to save his cat!!!
And the pastor.
After a long period of stunned silence, the pastor suddenly jumped into the sea and then swam desperately into the distance.
After swimming quite far, he unusually took out his high-end mobile phone and started taking pictures of the distant aircraft carrier.
Meanwhile, on the coastline.
Arima and Eto, leading the ghouls who were all displaying their kagune, swaggered through the Self-Defense Force's blockade.
Looking out at the distant sea and the aircraft carrier that resembled a toy boat.
Arima took a deep breath and then spoke softly.
"Our people on the ship sent me a message saying that Gawain easily suppressed the four super ghouls that the America had arranged on the aircraft carrier in just a moment."
That's something even I couldn't handle; it's one of the greatest achievements of American Science Laboratory.
But after that, it seemed that Gawain had no intention of doing anything further.
Or perhaps the adults are brewing something even more terrifying, and the current silence represents their determination to capsize the aircraft carrier?
As he spoke, Arima looked at Eto with a questioning gaze, because only Eto himself had personally witnessed Gawain's Kakuja form.
Arima at Arima thought that transformation was a Kakuja form.
Judging from the traces, that shape must have been enormous.
Only Eto, who has seen it in person, knows whether Gawain's transformed size is enough to shake an aircraft carrier!
Meeting Arima's questioning gaze, Eto smiled with narrowed eyes, then patted Arima the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you with white hair. Adults' limits are far beyond what we see."
I'm increasingly suspecting that the adult is Susanoo came to the human world for a stroll, and that only the gods represent the adult's ultimate potential.
In my understanding, a powerful demon like Shuten is not qualified to be used to describe an adult.
After saying that, Eto looked expectantly into the distance. She had a premonition that she was about to see what she wanted.
Meanwhile, in the distance.
Amidst the chaos of the United States soldiers, the bald, burly man pushed a large pile of boxes containing cats onto the deck.
Hurry up and load the cat onto the boat, then the bald, burly man immediately escaped in the small boat.
He didn't want to stay on this aircraft carrier anymore; every second he spent there, his instincts were urging him to flee frantically!
Just as the bald, muscular man's small boat approached the coastline...
A soft murmur seemed to drift from the distant air.
"Do you think that's my limit?"
At that very moment, the bald, muscular man's hair stood on end. He turned around uncontrollably, staring intently at the distant sky.
Meanwhile, on the coastline.
Arima's hair fluttered in the wind, then suddenly stopped for a fleeting moment.
The next moment.
Wow!
It seemed as if a cold glint flashed, or perhaps... a biting wind was blowing.
It seems like something happened, but then again... it seems like nothing happened at all?
In the next instant, Gawain transformed into Azure Dragon, breaking through the thunder-filled clouds and rushing towards the coast.
His enormous body hovered in the sky above the coastline, and his massive scales and claws caused every human and ghoul who witnessed it to kneel on the ground.
After lingering for a moment, Gawain shrank back to human form and landed between Arima and Eto.
Upon seeing Gawain, Arima remarked with emotion.
"My lord, your physique is truly... unparalleled!"
"Just that kind of physique alone, even without doing anything, is enough to make the US wary!"
"Oh? I didn't do anything? How come I didn't know?"
Hearing Arima's words, Gawain smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't rush, Arima. Let the sword energy fly for a while longer."
It was as if a countdown was flashing in the air, or perhaps the clock had reached the point where it would ring.
The next instant.
Click!
The thick thunderclouds in the distant sky split in two in an instant!
At the same time.
The aircraft carrier, which looked like a toy, split in two without any hindrance and then quickly plummeted to the seabed!
As for why the word "falling" was used...
Because the sea near the aircraft carrier was already split in two at a speed even faster than the carrier itself!
First came the spread of sword energy, followed by a sacred scene reminiscent of Moses parting the sea, and a sharpness that even the air itself seemed to be sliced apart!
Before the spectators on the shore could be fully shocked, the tsunami that followed was rapidly evolving due to the tremors caused by the healing of the wound that Gawain had created with his sword, which was more than 30 kilometers long and about 2 kilometers wide.
The aircraft carrier was completely submerged, and after recording the events, the priest in the sea swam to the deep sea at an even faster speed.
As for the coastline, he wasn't going; it was about to be hit by a tsunami.
But the bald, muscular man rowed the boat at breakneck speed, gazing desperately at the coastline.
It seems he can't escape; a tsunami hundreds of meters high is about to hit him!!!
Meanwhile, along the coastline, countless onlookers were terrified and fled in panic.
Coastal traffic came to a standstill in less than half a minute.
However, seeing that Gawain remained motionless, Arima and Eto, as well as the people from Anteiku and Aogiri Tree, showed no sign of backing down.
A moment later.
Whoosh whoosh!
Furuta Nimura, laughing, led the Joker to land behind Gawain.
"Forgive my uninvited appearance, sir, I simply didn't want to miss this miracle."
Whether it's before or after!
As he spoke, Furuta Nimura looked at Gawain expectantly.
Like Furuta Nimura, everyone else looked at Gawain with the same fervent gaze.
At that moment, in Gawain's mind, the Whitebeard laughed loudly and slapped the table.
"My abilities are actually not the most suitable; what we need most right now is Aokiji's Devil Fruit."
But even without that kid Aokiji, my art style is definitely not bad!
"Gura la la!!!"
Accompanied by the Whitebeard's laughter, Gawain gently raised his right hand.
"Quake Shock!!!"
