"Your name is Ben·Beckman, right?"
Below New World, Floating Island, on the ice.
As Takenaka Kaguya's extremely calm voice sounded, Ben Beckman's legs were shaking a little. He raised his head with difficulty, stared at Takenaka Kaguya and said in a deep voice, "Yes, what are you going to do to my captain?"
Beckman just saw Iron Wall Pirates. Everyone was stunned by the powerful and terrifying Conqueror's Haki of the man in front of them, and they were very scared.
Until this moment, he didn't know that his captain Shanks was so powerful, but every time he mentioned the name Takenaka Kaguya, he would be so scared.
This person is not a human at all, he seems to be a god!
Yes, God, and only God, can possess such powerful strength.
However, Beckman is loyal to Shanks and has made up his mind. As long as Takenaka Kaguya does anything detrimental to his captain, he will not hesitate even if it means giving up his life.
"Haha, don't be nervous, kid.
It seems that you are indeed very loyal Red-Haired kid, but you probably don't know that Red-Haired is Celestial Dragons, right?" Takenaka Kaguya chuckled, took back his Conqueror's Haki, and looked at Beckman with a smile after saying that.
"Impossible!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Beckman immediately refuted loudly.
Are you kidding? How could Shanks be the kind of garbage that Celestial Dragons is?
"Hahaha, nothing is impossible.
The full name of Red-Haired kid should be called Figarland·Shanks Saint. He is the child brought back from Upper Yard by Roger Pirates after Upper Yard defeated Overlord of the Sea Rocks with the navy.
Of course, you don't have to believe it, but we can make a bet!" Takenaka Kaguya burst out laughing, his eyes shining brightly.
"No... impossible, how could the captain be Celestial Dragons?
Celestial Dragons How could that kind of rubbish..." Beckman couldn't accept it and kept shaking his head in denial.
However, when he looked into Takenaka Kaguya's deep eyes, he continued to ask, "Bet, what are you betting on?"
"Haha, don't you believe that Red-Haired kid is Celestial Dragons?
This is simple, you can take away Red-Haired imp and all your friends.
You can find a suitable opportunity in the future and ask Red-Haired if the kid is Celestial Dragons!
If he denies that he is not Celestial Dragons, then even if you win this bet, the bet is that you can take your partner away safely!" Takenaka Kaguya laughed.
"What if I lose?" Beckman asked with a frown.
Winning is naturally the best, but what if Shanks is really Celestial Dragons?
Can he accept the bet?
"Leave Red Hair Pirates and come with me!" Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
In the original work, among the four vice-captains of the Imperial Pirates, he likes Beckman the most. He is smart, strong, and calm. He likes such a person very much and is very comfortable to use him.
Of course, the premise is that such a person is completely loyal to him!
"Aren't you worried? Even if I really know that the captain is Celestial Dragons, won't I betray him?" Beckman frowned and asked again.
"Hahaha, no one in this world can rely on me, let alone you, even World Government doesn't have the guts.
Beckman Little kid, if you agree, you can leave with people now.
If you don't agree, haha, it's easy. Killing you is about the same as crushing an ant to me. I can do it by raising my hand." Takenaka Kaguya laughed and looked at Beckman with a very confident and crazy look on his face.
"Damn it!"
After feeling the terrifying power of Takenaka Kaguya, Beckman couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
Finally, he looked back at Red-Haired Shanks lying on the ground and his companions who spent time with him day and night, then he turned to look at Takenaka Kaguya and nodded. "Okay, I'll take this bet!"
"Very good, you can leave with the others." Takenaka Kaguya smiled and nodded, very satisfied.
Beckman Such a man is not easy to conquer, but it doesn't matter.
If he doesn't choose to fulfill his promise in the end, then just treat everything today as a game.
As for those who have broken their promises, Takenaka Kaguya will kill them without feeling any discomfort in their hearts.
"Thank... thank you."
Beckman said thank you hesitantly, and quickly carried Shanks to the boat, and then took the rest of the people on board.
When everyone got on the boat, Beckman looked far away and looked at Dracule Mihawk who was fighting fiercely with Golden Lion.
Just when he was about to say something, Takenaka Kaguya anticipated his thoughts in advance.
Dang Ji said, "Don't worry about Dracule Mihawk's safety, he won't die here. I will let him go after the battle between Dracule Mihawk and Shiki is over."
"Thank you!"
Beckman nodded and thanked again.
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand, and then cold air filled his hand. The next second, he saw the frozen pirate group, and the surrounding Hanbing quickly dissipated.
After a while, as Iron Wall Pirates's ship turned around and left, Takenaka Kaguya's lips curled up slightly. "Beckman, I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, you won't want to know the consequences of breaking the contract!"
Having said that, Takenaka Kaguya ducked into the battlefield between Golden Lion and Dracule Mihawk.
At this moment, both of them have some wounds on their bodies. It can be seen that their swordsmanship level is at the top of this sea.
Of course, this is also because Golden Lion did not use Float-Float Fruit's ability, so Dracule Mihawk was able to fight him back and forth, evenly matched.
If Golden Lion had used Float-Float Fruit, then Dracule Mihawk would have been defeated long ago.
"Dang!"
Suddenly, the two of them exerted force at the same time, quickly approaching, and then the three Great Grade Sword immediately collided with each other.
Under the collision of gold and iron, the excitement in their eyes was visible to each other.
"Whoa!"
At this time, Shiki the Golden Lion waved his hands hard, and the huge force instantly pushed Dracule Mihawk out.
"Jie hahaha, Dracule Mihawk kid, your swordsmanship is really good, it's interesting.
I don't know how many years have passed, but I have never seen a young man with such strong swordsmanship!" Shiki the Golden Lion laughed and praised, and it was clear that he recognized Dracule Mihawk's swordsmanship level very much.
I heard Takenaka Kaguya say before that there is a young man on the sea who is very good at swordsmanship and challenges swordsman masters everywhere.
Now he finally saw it and understood that a swordsman who could penetrate Takenaka Kaguya's eyes was indeed very powerful.
Even if he was able to suppress Dracule Mihawk without using Float-Float Fruit's ability, he might lose as time goes by.
After all, just now, Dracule Mihawk's swordsmanship level improved during the battle with him. Although the improvement was not large, for Golden Lion, the top Great Swordsman, this improvement surprised him.
"It is my honor to be praised by Dingding Daimyo's Golden Lion.
Unfortunately, I am not your opponent yet. Even if you don't use Devil Fruit ability, I can't defeat you.
However, in three years at most, I will be sure to beat you in swordsmanship after three years!" Dracule Mihawk said seriously.
"Jie hahaha, what an interesting kid.
Okay, since you said you can defeat me in swordsmanship in three years, then I will give you this opportunity.
Three years later, it will be the same here, I am waiting for your arrival!" Golden Lion laughed, and as he spoke, he really put away the two Great Grade Swords, Oto and Kogarashi.
Seeing this, Dracule Mihawk nodded and put Yoru back on his back.
After the battle between the two ended, Dracule Mihawk turned to look at Takenaka Kaguya next to him, and then at the pirate ship that had disappeared. He frowned and asked, "May I ask Red-Haired where they went?"
He didn't dare to be distracted from the battle just now, so he didn't dare to spread Observation Haki to pay attention to the scene where Red-Haired and his team were fighting against Takenaka Kaguya.
Now, Red Hair Pirates's ship has disappeared, and he is a little worried about Red-Haired's safety.
"Haha, don't worry, I let them leave!" Takenaka Kaguya didn't hesitate and directly told Dracule Mihawk the result.
Put?
This shows that Red-Haired they still failed!
When I think about the man in front of me, his strength is probably a bit more powerful than World's Strongest Man Whitebeard, who was evaluated by World Economic News Paper, Mihawk has the urge to challenge him.
"Don't worry, now you should find a way to deal with Shiki first. As for me, one day in the future, I will definitely give you a chance to challenge me!" Takenaka Kaguya noticed Dracule Mihawk's inner thoughts and said directly.
"Okay, I look forward to this day coming!"
As he spoke, Dracule Mihawk took out the knife he wore on his chest, and with a few swipes, he cut out a large piece of ice. Seeing as he was doing this, he was preparing to use this piece of ice floating to leave here.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya nodded, then glanced at Shiki, then his figure flickered and disappeared quickly.
Shiki also looked at Dracule Mihawk with admiration. Finally, Float-Float Fruit's ability was activated, and then his body quickly floated into the air and left the ice.
After a while, Dracule Mihawk felt a cold air appear. After seeing that except for the ice under his feet, the sea had returned to its previous appearance, he had a deeper understanding of the power of Takenaka Kaguya.
"He is indeed the Marine Admiral who was once called the most powerful in the history of the navy. His strength is really unfathomable!" Dracule Mihawk sighed inwardly. He casually took off the Black Blade from his back and rowed hard. The ice floe under his feet moved quickly and soon disappeared.
Let's talk about Floating Island.
Chinese-style Courtyard, in the reception room.
Takenaka Kaguya, Golden Lion, and a few others from Yixiao were sitting and drinking. They glanced at Tanaka, who was feeling a little disappointed, and immediately said with a smile, "Tanaka, Enel, Kuina, I am very satisfied with your performance today.
I am proud of you for being able to fight against the strong men in the sea at this age!"
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were suddenly surprised. They thought they would be punished. After all, they took the initiative to stop Red-Haired and others.
As a result, they did not expect that the opponent's strength exceeded their expectations.
Now, after hearing this, the three depressed people immediately smiled on their faces.
"Teacher/Pops, we will definitely work harder!" The three of them immediately saluted respectfully.
"Jie hahaha, Kuina, your swordsmanship has improved very quickly, that Dracule Mihawk is your future goal.
As long as you can defeat him, then your dream of becoming World's Greatest Swordsman should be able to come true!" Golden Lion laughed and looked at Kuina with satisfaction.
"Yes, Master Shiki!" Kuina quickly agreed, feeling a little excited inside.
After her battle with Dracule Mihawk, she already understood the gap between herself and Dracule Mihawk, and believed that she would be able to defeat Dracule Mihawk in a few years.
"Jie hahaha, I believe you!" Golden Lion nodded and smiled.
After the words fell, Bullet on the side also looked at Tanaka and smiled, "Tanaka, your Taijutsu and Haki are very good at training, and Devil Fruit's abilities are also well developed.
Although your strength is still far behind the top warriors at sea, as long as you continue to maintain your strength, I think with your talent, you will soon be able to close this gap."
"Yes, Master Bullet, I will work hard." Tanaka said with a happy face and nodded seriously happily.
Originally, Yixiao was not prepared to comment, but seeing that both Golden Lion and Bullet spoke, after thinking about it, he also looked at Enel and said, "Enel, it can be seen from the battle just now that your development of Rumble-Rumble Fruit has been very effective.
However, you should also be able to feel that the difference between you and Red-Haired Shanks is that his Haki is stronger than you.
Therefore, next you need to focus on the cultivation of Haki, especially Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Yixiao for your advice, I will remember it." Enel agreed quickly.
Since returning to Floating Island, Yixiao has been responsible for almost all of his cultivation, so he also respects Yixiao very much.
In addition, unlike the arrogant character of Enel in the original work, Enel, who was trained by Takenaka Kaguya since childhood, is now very humble.
Of course, this is only when facing these few people around him. If it were other people, he would still be very crazy, otherwise he wouldn't be Awakening Conqueror's Haki.
"Okay, now that you have heard your shortcomings, you three can go to sea next.
Go ahead and have fun on the sea and make your own name." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"Really... really, Pops, can we go to sea?" Enel asked in disbelief.
Next to them, Tanaka and Kuina did not speak, but it was easy to see from their eyes that they also wanted to go to sea.
"Hahaha, as my son and disciple Takenaka Kaguya, I will naturally not restrict you here for the rest of your life.
It's time, you can set off today, the boat and the ceremony have been packed for you.
However, before going to sea, I have to remind you not to massacre civilians, otherwise..."
"Yes, Pops/Teacher!"
