"So it's that old man." Sitting in his wheelchair, Kizaru narrowed his eyes. "Has he grown so old he can't find anything to do, so now he wants to become the Pirate King?"
Behind him, Rear Admiral Luo Wei watched Aokiji face the figure ahead as if confronting a deadly enemy. "Admiral Kizaru, who is Ulysses? Is he strong?"
Kizaru shook his head. "No, no, Mr. Luo Wei. You shouldn't be asking whether he's strong."
"Before Whitebeard was recognized as the World's Strongest Man, Ulysses was the World's Strongest of his entire era!"
Horror filled Luo Wei's eyes. He held his breath as he stared at the figure in the distance, who looked no older than thirty, and swallowed hard.
The World's Strongest!!!
He was someone on that level!!!
Could Vice Admiral Loa win?
Just as Kizaru had said, the Blood Earl, Ulysses, had made his name even earlier than Roger and Whitebeard. He had held the title of World's Strongest back when Kong and his peers were still Vice Admirals!
If another figure from that era had appeared, Aokiji would not have reacted like this.
That was ancient history. Those people should have been swept into the dust of time long ago. Even Whitebeard had grown old and frail. Few fighters older than him could probably still move.
But this was the Blood Earl, Ulysses! Aokiji had no choice but to stay on guard.
Ulysses's exact age could no longer be verified. According to the Marines' top-secret records, however, his name had already been on their bounty lists three generations of fleet admirals before Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
What was more, as soon as he took to the sea, he defeated every rising Pirate of that time, wiping out an entire generation of newcomers and displaying overwhelming power!
