Is my spirit enough now?

"Let's go, our boss wants to see you!"

In a port town in Sphinx, Iron Hand Jod looked at Mongge and Lipri with a playful gaze. At his signal, a group of pirates surrounded them with ill intentions.

"Haha, this one's a pretty good imitation."

"White Wolf Moger is over seventy, how can he be this young?"

"The woman beside him doesn't look like anyone from the White Wolf Pirates either, tsk tsk," White Wolf Moger's taste isn't bad."

"..."

Many pirates ogled Lipri with lewd eyes. Even though they knew this might displease Mongge and Lipri, they didn't try to hide it at all.

They were pirates!

If pirates weren't greedy for money and lustful, what would they be called?

"It seems we've been misunderstood."

Noticing that the pirates gathered around had reached nearly a hundred, Mongge sighed. Those guys who impersonated them earlier had really caused them a lot of trouble.

"Lipri, deal with them."

"Should I hold back?"

"It's fine if they die."

Although Mongge wore a helpless smile, his words were far from amusing.

"They're not good people anyway."

No matter which world, the word "pirate" was never a compliment.

At least according to Mongge's experiences over the past fifty years.

There might be good people among pirates, but there were definitely more bad ones.

Would good people block their path for no reason?

After receiving Mongge's approval, Lipri giggled and looked at the surrounding pirates, rubbing her hands together.

"Who's going first?"

Lipri saying nothing was one thing, but as soon as she spoke, the surrounding pirates exchanged glances and burst into laughter in unison.

"Pfft hahaha, what is this little girl saying? She wants to fight us?"

"This is the New World, not a place for children to play house!"

"Hey, old man, are you only good at hiding behind women?"

"..."

As soon as the last pirate finished speaking, he saw a flash before his eyes, and a long, straight leg appeared in front of him.

Bang!

An irresistible force struck him. His face rapidly contorted, blood gushed from his nose and mouth, and the sound of his skull cracking echoed. The surrounding pirates only felt a gust of wind as the pirate who was Lipri's target was kicked flying.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

His body flew over a hundred meters, crashing through three houses before stopping. Even if he survived, he'd likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"That's it?"

Lipri thought these pirates dared to block them, so they must have some strength. She didn't expect them to be unable to even withstand one of her kicks.

Originally, Lipri's kick had intimidated the surrounding pirates, but as soon as her words fell, the pirates became enraged.

"Bitch!"

"How dare you look down on us!"

"Don't be so arrogant!"

"..."

Seeing the pirates rush towards her like a swarm, Lipri's lips curled into a smile. She swung her arm and swept it towards the surrounding pirates.

"Mini Fruit Partial Restoration - Giant's Arm!"

In the shocked gazes of the pirates, Lipri's arm suddenly grew countless times larger. With a single sweep, she sent all the surrounding pirates flying.

The surviving pirates looked at Lipri's giant arm with expressions of terror.

"Damn it, it's a Devil Fruit user!"

"Lord Jod, they don't seem to be ordinary pirates!"

"Lord Jod, what should we do now?"

"..."

Although there were countless pirates with Devil Fruit abilities in the New World, the level of development of these abilities varied.

Being able to slap away hundreds of pirates with one blow, Lipri's performance couldn't be considered weak.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Knowing that a bunch of grunts were unreliable, after Lipri took down hundreds of pirate grunts in one strike, Iron Hand Jod looked at Lipri with much more seriousness.

"A Devil Fruit that allows you to grow your body to a giant size? So that's your confidence, huh? Seeing as you have some skill, how about it, want to join us? My captain is Undead Jason, a Great Pirate with a Bounty of 120 million Belly. He's definitely stronger than that old man beside you, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Jod didn't take down Lipri immediately to establish his authority. Instead, he extended an olive branch to her.

Hearing Jod's words, Lipri asked curiously.

"120 million Belly? Is that even higher than White Wolf Moger's bounty?"

"How is that possible..."

Jod thought to himself, White Wolf Moger is a Great Pirate with a bounty of 290 million Belly. How could his captain be compared to White Wolf Moger?

There were distinctions in strength even among Great Pirates.

100 million Belly was merely the threshold for a Great Pirate, but 290 million Belly was the peak of Great Pirates. Many even said that White Wolf Moger had the potential to become the next Overlord of the Sea.

However, potential was just potential.

Noticing the gazes of the pirates around him, Jod certainly couldn't show any weakness in front of them. He said loudly, "The White Wolf Pirates disbanded a year ago. No matter how strong White Wolf Moger was, he's just an old guy left behind by the times."

"But my captain is still young. Surpassing White Wolf Moger is only a matter of time!"

As he spoke, Jod looked at Moger behind Lipri and said fiercely, "Little girl, don't be fooled by the old man behind you. Although his attire does resemble White Wolf Moger, how could White Wolf Moger be so ordinary, lacking any of the spirit of a Great Pirate?"

Uh.

So it turns out he's usually too approachable?

"Lipri, go ahead and laugh if you want to," Moger said, shaking his head helplessly as he watched Lipri stifle her laughter.

"Since you want to feel my spirit..."

Moger took a step forward. Instantly, the wind and clouds changed, an invisible pressure spread, and an indescribable terror surfaced in everyone's hearts.

His slightly aged figure seemed to grow infinitely tall at this moment, like a Giant Wolf emerging from a blizzard, opening its blood-red eyes in the storm.

Thump~

A pirate vomited foam and collapsed on the ground.

Thump~

Thump~

Like falling dominoes, pirate after pirate fell. Moger hadn't made any discernible move, yet fine cracks spread beneath his feet.

[Quest Reward: Conqueror's Haki Strength Increased!]

The battle with Giant King Harald two months ago was ultimately his victory.

After a full-power clash, Moger understood.

Harald, like him, had already reached the pinnacle of this world.

Therefore, Moger and Harald battled for three days and three nights before a victor was decided.

He had won against Harald by a slim margin.

If they were to fight again, Moger might not necessarily win.

But after winning once.

It wasn't just the system's reward, but also the transformation of his Haki after colliding with Harald.

He was now stronger than Harald!

One step, two steps.

By the time Moger reached Iron Hand Jod, the pirate with a bounty exceeding 50 million Belly had already clenched his fists.

He wanted to fight back, but his intuition told him.

If he moved.

He would die!

He looked at the pirates lying unconscious around him, and then at Moger's face, which seemed familiar, like something he had seen before.

He swallowed.

The man's slightly hoarse voice rang out, "Now, is my spirit enough?"
