"Are you Byrnndi World?"
Rocks slowly spoke.
"What do you think?"
Byrnndi World stared straight at him and asked in return.
"Want to join our Rocks Pirates, Byrnndi World?"
Rocks did not waste any time on pleasantries and directly invited him.
Although this was their first meeting, Rocks could sense that Byrnndi World was no ordinary man. An extraordinary aura surrounded him.
After all, he was the man who had dared to travel alone to Navy Headquarters, provoke them, and retreat unscathed.
Even Rocks himself did not dare go to Navy Headquarters alone. The risk was simply too great.
It was hard to imagine how Byrnndi World had managed it. Without a doubt, he possessed extraordinary power.
"I'm afraid I'll have to refuse. I don't want to be beneath anyone else, because I've already established my own pirate crew."
Byrnndi World answered indifferently.
"Your pirate crew consists of only two people?"
Charlotte Linlin demanded.
Although Byrnndi World had a pirate ship, there were currently only him and the man steering it—just the two of them.
Someone as powerful as him could have recruited countless powerful pirates. No one knew why there were only two people.
"Fewer people make things easier."
Byrnndi World flashed a grin.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't think our two ships meeting was a coincidence, do you, Rocks?"
Byrnndi World spoke calmly.
"Hm? You followed us?"
Rocks smiled faintly and questioned him without the slightest concern.
Byrnndi World had followed his ship, which was indeed somewhat unexpected. But throughout the entire New World, he feared no powerful pirate.
He did not take a little Byrnndi World seriously.
"You're an interesting kid. After provoking Navy Headquarters, are you here to challenge our Rocks Pirates now?"
Golden Lion laughed with a cigar between his teeth.
"People always need to make a name for themselves."
Byrnndi World spoke with unruffled calm.
After provoking Navy Headquarters, a large number of powerful pirates had wanted to follow him.
And this time, he had come looking for Rocks precisely to provoke them.
That was because Rocks' reputation in the New World was immensely formidable.
After all, he had plundered the World Government Member States repeatedly and had even killed an Admiral. His name had truly resounded throughout the New World.
If Byrnndi World provoked the Rocks Pirates and then retreated unscathed before releasing the news—
without a doubt, even more pirates would choose to follow him.
He was treating the Rocks Pirates as a tool for recruiting powerful crew members.
The reason he had brought only one crew member this time was that he had no intention of starting a war.
As long as he briefly clashed with them and escaped, all he needed was to make a name for himself.
"You want to use our Rocks Pirates as a stepping stone? Do you have what it takes?"
Rocks planted one foot on the ship's railing and sneered contemptuously.
He admitted that Byrnndi World had some ability, but there was not a single ordinary person in the entire Rocks Pirates.
Could they really be unable to deal with a mere Byrnndi World?
"Kid, excessive arrogance will cost you your life. Don't overestimate your strength. Forget challenging the entire Rocks Pirates—I can kill you by myself."
Charlotte Linlin remained composed as she spoke disdainfully.
"Once you've provoked Rocks, you won't live to see the future. Why bother?"
Patri Vic leaned against the ship's railing and laughed.
Byrnndi World's strength was indeed impressive, but Patri Vic truly had not expected him to dare provoke the Rocks Pirates.
Did he think he could retreat unscathed? Even if he did, was he sure Rocks would let him go afterward?
"I never said I was going to fight you. A mere clash is enough."
A calm smile hung at the corners of Byrnndi World's mouth as he answered indifferently.
As he spoke, Byrnndi World took a bullet from his pocket and suddenly hurled it toward the Rocks Pirates Ship.
The attack elicited disdainful smiles from the many experts of the Rocks Pirates.
They even wanted to ask, That's it? That's all?
But while the bullet was flying, it suddenly grew enormous.
"Momo Fifty Times!"
The bullet's size suddenly increased fiftyfold, and its speed increased fiftyfold as well.
"Boom!"
The bullet, now fifty times larger, slammed directly into the Rocks Pirates Ship with a tremendous crash.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"
Byrnndi World grinned and took out several more bullets, sending them hurtling toward the Rocks Pirates Ship.
Both the size and speed of the bullets were terrifying.
But the strength of the Rocks Pirates' officers was naturally terrifying as well.
"Lion, Thousand-Cut Valley!"
Golden Lion instantly drew the two Famous Swords at his waist. He swung their sharp blades, unleashing several golden slashes at the enormous bullets.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Several overwhelmingly powerful Sword Qi cut apart the incoming bullets.
"Are you Shiki?"
Byrnndi World looked at Shiki, who was swinging his Sword Qi through the air, and greeted him calmly.
"You're quite bold, kid."
Golden Lion responded with a cold smile.
The Rocks Pirates had dominated the New World for quite some time. In the past, every pirate who had provoked them had been wiped out without exception.
Byrnndi World's strength and ability were indeed impressive, but he still could not escape the fate of destruction.
"Ha ha ha... Don't be so angry. I've already achieved my goal, so it's time for me to leave."
Byrnndi World laughed loudly.
At some point, a member of a news intelligence agency holding a camera had appeared behind him.
He had already captured footage of Byrnndi World attacking the Rocks Pirates Ship.
"Do you think you can leave?"
Charlotte Linlin stood atop Zeus and raised the weapon in her hand, Napoleon.
"Ikoku!"
Charlotte Linlin stood in midair, wielding Napoleon with both hands. A powerful aura radiated from every inch of her body.
A gigantic Sword Qi split the air and shook space itself, hurtling toward Byrnndi World's ship with a force capable of toppling mountains and destroying everything in its path.
Before the Sword Qi even arrived, waves were already rippling across the sea. If that massive Sword Qi struck Byrnndi World's ship, the vessel would undoubtedly be pulverized.
After all, the power of this attack was terrifying. This was a technique of the Giant race.
"Boom!"
The gigantic Sword Qi struck the surface of the sea, instantly slicing open a massive gash in the water and sending towering waves surging in every direction.
However, Byrnndi World's ship was no longer where it had been. It had appeared in the distance.
"How is that possible? How can his ship be so fast?"
Silver Axe was already staring in stunned disbelief.
Just moments ago, Byrnndi World's ship had been right in front of them, yet in the blink of an eye, it had appeared far away. How had he done it?
"No wonder he dared provoke us. It turns out he has nothing to fear. He possesses some strange ability."
Whitebeard gazed at Byrnndi World's ship in the distance and fell into thought.
