Sea Kings Need to Experience the Will of the Overlord Too

The Lord of the Coast lunged forward with its jaws open, ready to swallow that noisy little brat whole.

"Hm?"

The Lord of the Coast pounced, and when it surfaced again, it felt as if something had whizzed past it.

At the same time, it seemed it had not eaten that little brat. It had bitten something else, and there seemed to be one more person.

"That's the bite!"

Watching this scene, Brando had no idea why, but his addiction to the Will of the Overlord flared up.

He immediately jumped into the sea, stepped on the water, and charged forward.

"Forget it. Shanks's plan has already succeeded."

Although Beckman was surprised that Brando could run across the sea, he did not try to stop him.

After all, everything that needed to be done had already been done. What remained was inconsequential.

Though this person was mysterious, his strength was ordinary. He could not possibly threaten Shanks.

The Lord of the Coast had been preparing to continue its meal and eat these two little snacks, but its attention was suddenly caught by a figure rapidly approaching from afar.

After all, the faster something moved, the fresher it was. It could not miss out on that.

"You want to be a king too?"

"With those gaudy patterns, that idiotic stare, and those sneak attacks, you're completely just a shameless snake!"

Brando ran up near the Lord of the Coast and immediately began putting the Will of the Overlord into practice.

He had some kind of condition where hearing the word "king" in someone's nickname made him want to use the Will of the Overlord.

Not even Sea Kings were exempt.

"?"

What the hell was he babbling about!

The Lord of the Coast froze for a moment, then quickly bared its fangs. Though it could not understand him, it felt as though he was provoking it.

Shanks, standing nearby, was dumbfounded as well.

Was this guy lecturing a Sea King?

It seemed Makino had been telling the truth yesterday. There really was something wrong with this guy's head. It seemed he had provoked Shanks yesterday for the same reason.

The last trace of resentment Shanks had felt toward Brando vanished as well.

After all, no matter what, he could not hold a grudge against a lunatic. Besides, though this guy had a foul mouth, when Luffy got into trouble today, he had stepped in to save him instead of standing by and mocking him while having another episode.

It seemed Brando truly was as Makino had said: a good person, just one with something wrong with his head.

"Hah!"

The Lord of the Coast snorted directly at him.

When it came to looking fiercer than someone else, it had never been afraid. It was the Lord of the Coast, after all!!

"Snake—Ram—Monkey—Boar—Horse—Tiger!"

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Brando did not indulge it either and snorted back, except what he spat out was a fireball thousands of degrees hot.

They were only about twenty meters apart.

By the time the Lord of the Coast saw the red glow, it was already too late to flee. The three-meter-wide Great Fireball struck it head-on, instantly igniting the thick layer of fat around its body.

The scorching pain made it writhe frantically before it plunged into the sea and disappeared.

"Unbelievable, the Great Fireball really can't burn anything to death!"

"Even Sea Kings in this world are this thick-skinned!"

Brando complained helplessly.

He knew Fire Release was weak, and not many people in Naruto had been burned to death by it, but after personally confirming it, he still found it hard to accept.

Was it because there was no cage?

Fire in a cage hurt like hell in the arena.

Still, Brando felt that once he mastered the nature transformation of the fire attribute and increased Fire Release's temperature and explosive power, he should be able to take down this Lord of the Coast.

"Shanks, your arm!"

Luffy's attention was entirely on Shanks. Grabbing Shanks's clothes, he could not stop himself from sobbing.

He had never expected what he did today to cause such serious consequences.

Thinking back to what he had said to Shanks yesterday, he felt deeply regretful.

"It's fine. Don't I still have one arm? Hahaha!"

Shanks held Luffy tightly with his remaining right arm and laughed.

At the same time, he was puzzled by Brando's ability.

Could this guy's ability to release flames be from a Devil Fruit? But he could stand on seawater, which Shanks simply could not understand. What Devil Fruit could possibly do that?

If it was merely releasing flames, plenty of people could do that without Devil Fruits. All they needed was rapid, repeated friction. Shanks could do it too.

But was this guy really a ninja?

"Recognition from the Will of the Overlord!"

"You bravely spoke out against the evil mountain bandits and gave them a gentle physical explanation!"

"You have obtained Land of Iron Mifune Swordsmanship: Iai: One Flash!"

"You lectured and warmly reformed a vicious creature that had killed countless people, obtaining one ownerless Summoning Scroll!"

At the same time, Brando once again received recognition from the Will of the Overlord and obtained rewards.

Brando immediately felt an itch in his head, as though something had entered it.

At the same time, a technique formula appeared in his mind that would allow him to summon the Summoning Scroll. As long as he left his name on the scroll, then found a summon to contract with and made a pact with it, he could summon it from a great distance.

The amount of chakra consumed would determine how long it could remain present.

"All right, whatever you have to say can wait until we're ashore."

"The village chief and Makino are both very worried about you, Luffy."

The people of the village had a warm side too. Perhaps this time, the village chief had moved him.

A village chief who did everything he could to protect his villagers was worthy of Brando's recognition!

Shanks directly tossed Luffy toward Brando. After confirming that this guy had nothing to do with the Holy Land, he was no longer so guarded against him. Besides, Brando had stepped in to save Luffy today.

With Shanks's broad-mindedness, he naturally would not attack Brando again.

Brando grabbed Luffy by the collar and jogged back to shore across the sea.

When the village chief and Makino saw Luffy, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Makino, in particular, could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.

After all, she had practically raised Luffy herself. How could she not worry about him?

"Hmph, you did very well this time!"

"I'll let your earlier insults toward me slide!"

Village chief Woop Slap said somewhat tsunderely.

Though Brando's insults had nearly made him faint before, he had now confirmed that Brando merely had a foul mouth. He was still the same good person as before, and that was enough.

He just did not understand why Brando had become so strong. Had he received the blessing of the god of the sea?

The sea god seemed to have a surname like Sugar...

"Village chief, that hat of yours is really ugly. It looks like a pile of crap."

"In a few days, I'll make you a handsome conical hat to wear. It'll look much better than this."

Brando said with a grin.

He planned to inherit this village in the future, so before he became village chief, he would let Woop Slap, the first generation, manage Foosha Village properly for him.

"You!"

Woop Slap turned red with rage.

This hat was obviously very handsome!
