The New War Axe Pirates

"How infuriating, of all times!" Hancock was annoyed upon hearing this. She was feeding Tianqi grapes to build rapport, and now the whole thing was ruined.

"Alright, let's go out and take a look!" Tianqi patted Hancock's head, turned around, and walked out of the cabin. As soon as he came out, he asked his attendant, "Is the other ship heading in our direction?"

"Yes, Tianqi, their ships are lined up and heading this way. They're probably going to attack us!" the attendant said solemnly. A Pirate Crew of several thousand men was extremely rare. Such Pirate Crew must be either rich or powerful; otherwise, they couldn't possibly have so many people.

The Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, only have around two thousand members, while Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have around one thousand. This shows that a group of a thousand pirates is still very popular. The Conquerors Pirates, another of the Four Emperors, have the fewest members among them. However, Tianqi has never cared about the number of members, since he relies on his strength.

After listening to the female attendant's words, Tianqi nodded and then went to the bow of the ship to stand with Ryuma of Ryuda. Upon closer inspection, he saw that a group of ships was indeed heading this way. He estimated that there were about thirty ships, each of which was a large ship with a hundred people, with at least three thousand people. However, Tianqi did not recognize the pirate flag and guessed that it was just some random Pirate Crew.

"Captain, should we sink these ships?" Ryuma of Ryuda asked Tianqi indifferently, not taking this unknown Pirate Crew seriously at all.

"No need, let's wait and see. We're not some bloodthirsty, evil pirates, there's no need for this!" Tianqi shook his head, choosing not to attack directly. After all, there are countless pirates on the sea, and it would be a waste of time to eliminate every Pirate Crew he encountered. Moreover, Tianqi didn't want to become a target of everyone's hatred. Of course, if the other party insisted on courting death, then he couldn't be blamed.

Hancock also came to Tianqi's side, watching the Pirate Crew sailing towards them. Soon, about thirty pirate ships arrived in front of Tianqi and the others. On the largest pirate ship in the middle, a middle-aged man with a face full of scars was standing on the bow. He was obviously the leader of this Pirate Crew.

"Listen up, pirates! I am Rama, captain of the War Axe Pirates Rama with Axe! Hand over your ships and treasures if you don't want to die, or I will kill you!" Rama with Axe shouted menacingly at the front, wielding two large axes in his hands, clearly a vicious thug.

"You pirates are utterly insolent! How dare you shout in front of Tianqi? You're courting death! I order you to get out of here immediately!" Before Tianqi could speak, Hancock couldn't help but stand there with her hands on her hips and speak up.

Wow! Who is that woman? She's so pretty!

"Yes, she's so beautiful. I don't know why, but I always have this feeling that I want to obey her commands!"

"She's absolutely gorgeous! Her looks are top-tier even among pirates!"

The moment Hancock opened her mouth, the entire War Axe Pirates' eyes lit up. For these small-time pirates, money and beautiful women were everything, let alone a top-tier beauty like Hancock. They simply couldn't resist her charm.

"Captain, that woman is absolutely gorgeous! We can't let her get away!"

"Yes, yes, Captain, we absolutely cannot let a beauty of this caliber slip through our fingers!"

"You bunch of bastards, shut up!" Rama with Axe, looked on fiercely at his subordinates' spineless words. He picked up his axe and cleaved the loudest man in two. The man bled profusely and fell off the boat, dead as a shadow of his former self.

"A bunch of idiots! They're my prisoners! Treasure, ships, and beauties are all mine! They have to give me whatever I want! What are you all arguing about?" With that Rama with Axe pointed his axe at Tianqi and the others, shouting, "You lot, hurry up and bring me the treasure, and that woman too! Otherwise, I'll make sure you're all dead and your ships are destroyed!"

"These villains, Captain, I'm going to kill them!" Ryuma of Ryuda's eyes narrowed, a hint of anger rising within him. It wasn't because of Luo Mo's boastful talk, but because the wanton killing had enraged him.

If he still held a sliver of hope before, that hope has now been completely extinguished. This kind of guy who kills people at the drop of a hat is definitely a vicious scoundrel. He will kill every one of them he sees. The spirit of Bushido will never allow him to let such villains go.

When Tianqi and Luo Mo met, a young woman with black hair in a large cabin of the War Axe Pirates looked at Tianqi and the others, who were still holding a stack of bounty posters.

"Such a large ship with so few people, daring to sail on the Grand Line and facing thousands of people without flinching, this guy is either a fool or he must be very powerful. It seems necessary to investigate!" The woman muttered to herself, while her hands quickly flipped through the wanted posters, trying to find out the other party's information.

After searching for a while, they finally found a bounty poster that resembled the person in front of them. Except for the eyes, they were almost identical. The other two people also matched the appearance on the bounty poster.

"Uchiha Tianqi, the Demon Eye, captain of the Conqueror Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, with a bounty of 2.5 billion, for the following crimes..."

"Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, has a bounty of 250 million for Conqueror Pirates members. Her crimes are as follows..."

"Ryuma of Ryuda, a samurai from Wano Country, a world-renowned swordsman, and a member of the Conqueror Pirates. He recently joined the Conqueror Pirates and has a bounty of ten million!"

"Red-Haired Shanks..."

"Ben Beckman..."

The woman looked at the bounty posters for the Conqueror Pirates with surprise. Apart from Ryuma of Ryuda, who had just joined, the minimum bounty for the others was 80 million, and the captain Uchiha Tianqi, had an astonishing bounty of 2 billion. Although she didn't quite understand the title of the Four Emperors, those who could be called emperors were no ordinary people.

The title of "Four Emperors" is a recent one. People in the New World generally acknowledge the Four Emperors, but pirates outside the New World have almost never heard of them. Therefore, people in the first half of the Grand Line and other seas don't really know what the Four Emperors are.

"How did these New World overlords end up here? But now's not the time to investigate. We should make a run for it. That Luo Mo guy is new to the Grand Line and doesn't know his own limitations. He thinks he can dominate like he did in the North Blue. He's courting death. If he runs into New World pirates, he'll be dead. I don't want to die with him!" The woman didn't do any more research. She stuffed the bounty poster into her backpack, went into the cabin, and never came out again.

On the Conqueror, Tianqi did not refuse when he heard Ryuma of Ryuda's words. This kind of ignorant fool dared to come looking for trouble. If he died, he would die. He was not worth pitying at all.

Seeing that Tianqi had agreed, Ryuma of Ryuda's lips curled up slightly. He drew his great sword Enma and said to Luo Mo, "As a samurai, I allow you to leave your final words!"

"What? Did I hear that right? This guy actually wants us to leave our last words?"

"Hahaha... I reckon this guy's been scared out of his wits by us, he's started talking nonsense!"

"I think so too. After all, there are thousands of us, and with their small numbers, it's normal for them to be scared out of their wits. This guy is definitely out of his mind right now!"

"That's right, that's right, hahaha..."

Hearing Ryuma of Ryuda's words, the group of small-time pirates didn't take him seriously at all, treating him like a joke. Rama with Axe also burst into laughter. When the captain laughed, thousands of people laughed along with him. It was quite impressive to see thousands of people laughing together.

"If this is your last word, then you may die!" Seeing the bunch of ants laughing at him, Ryuma of Ryuda's face darkened, and he immediately swung Enma, unleashing a black sword aura.

"Bang!" In an instant, the sword energy sliced through three or four ships, and hundreds of pirates either died or fell into the water. When Rama with Axe saw this scene, he stopped laughing and almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Holy crap! So strong! The power of that one strike is incredible! Is this guy even human?" Rama with Axe reacted with a startled cry. He had never encountered anyone this strong in the South China Sea. A single, effortless strike had destroyed four of his ships—this kind of combat power was simply terrifying.

"Quickly, quickly, attack them with artillery fire! Bomb them, bombard them!" Luo Mo roared, baring his teeth.

"Yes, yes, yes... Captain!" The members of the War Axe Pirates scrambled to prepare, which showed how unprofessional these pirates were, a far cry from the Black Shark Pirates they had encountered before.

"Still want to use the cannon? You evil pirates all deserve to die! Sink to the bottom of the sea!" Ryuma of Ryuda gave them no chance. The sword intent of a great swordsman erupted, and he quickly wielded the Great Grade Enma, unleashing wave after wave of sword energy without holding back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

As Ryuma of Ryuda his sword energy attack, dozens of ships disintegrated, and many pirates either fell into the water or died. In an instant, about thirty ships were reduced to a pitiful three.

"Monster! He's a monster! Retreat! Retreat!" Rama with Axe, was so terrified that he dropped both axes to the ground. He was completely broken. If one of the crew members was this powerful, what would happen if the crew members attacked? He was utterly terrified and had no intention of fighting back; he just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Luo Mo didn't even need to say anything about escaping; his men had already started turning the ship around. Fighting such a monster was a joke. The three ships immediately changed direction and fled in another direction, without even looking back.
