Kaido was not being arrogant. Ares's strength had made him realize that only a handful of people on this sea were qualified to challenge Ares.
Every one of them was a top-tier powerhouse of the sea.
Their reputations alone were enough to scare people half to death when spoken aloud.
Kaido's words made Chinjao's expression turn ugly. After all, he possessed Conqueror's Haki and had a bounty of 400 million Berries. He was a Great Pirate.
Other pirates always took a detour when they saw the Happo Navy.
When had Chinjao's challenge become so insignificant?
Chinjao's gaze passed over Kaido, his sharp eyes shooting straight toward Ares, who sat calmly on a stone chair. He provoked him:
"Hey, Blood Hand - Ares. Are you afraid of losing to me and having your reputation plummet on this sea?"
As soon as he said this.
Silver Axe immediately burst out laughing. "The leader of the Happo Navy, Chinjao, really has no idea how to spell the word 'death.' If Ares makes a move, this guy won't even have room to resist."
In Earth's words, he had no self-awareness whatsoever.
However.
If Chinjao had possessed any self-awareness, he would never have fought Garp and ended up having his prized drill-shaped head smashed away.
For a full thirty years.
Thirty years had passed since the river's east bank had flourished, but the west bank would never get its turn.
Ochoku sneered. "Unless they see it with their own eyes, there will always be people who think Ares's reputation is exaggerated."
"But once they see it for themselves, they'll know just how enormous the gap between them and Ares truly is."
Ares turned his oppressive, beastlike gaze toward Chinjao and said calmly, "Your strength isn't enough..."
"To interest me."
Those blunt words sounded especially grating
