clatter...
clatter...
clatter...
As the sound of footsteps gradually rose, Sabo's figure came into view of Carlos and the others.
Pfft...
"Ah!!"
Another person screamed as he was torn apart by Carlos's lion claws. The severed parts were casually ripped off, and even as blood sprayed onto his face the moment he tore him apart, Carlos showed no discomfort. Instead, he became even more frenzied, his Scarlet eyes scanning the remaining people. He lightly touched his lips with his tongue, revealing a smile that looked like a devil to the others.
"Hmm... who is it? What, are you going to join the fray too? Could you please give me a moment's notice, and I'll deal with the others first before we fight? Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army... Sabo!!"
Just as he was preparing to continue hunting the others, his ears twitched; footsteps were approaching him.
Carlos looked up and saw a young man with a scar on his eye standing in front of him. As the king of the underworld, Carlos's intelligence network was naturally very efficient. He recognized Sabo immediately and greeted him with a smile, looking directly into his eyes and asking questions as if they were friends.
"Is that so? But I'm sorry, I can no longer tolerate your brutality. Although they're all just a bunch of dregs of the ocean, I cannot accept your behavior. Fight me, Carlos! If you defeat me, you can continue your cruel ways!!"
Sabo wielded the iron pipe with practiced skill, shook his head, and said to him.
"Heh heh heh heh, another brat who can't stand this situation? I really overestimated you. Forgive me for taking back what I said earlier, but you don't even have a chance to fight me. Go back to your leader Dragon, and suckle!!"
Hearing Sabo's naive and righteous words disgusted him. At that moment, he reduced Sabo's threat level to the lowest possible level, believing that Sabo had no chance of fighting him at all.
brush...
"If that's the case, why don't you try it yourself..."
Faced with Carlos's mocking and abusive tone, Sabo did not refute him but instead prepared to prove himself with action. He gripped the iron handle with his right hand, lightly stepped on the ground, and leaped into the air, striking him head-on.
Clang...
Just as the iron pipe was about to strike Carlos's forehead, the swordsman who hadn't yet made a move also acted. Almost simultaneously, he gripped the hilt of his sword with Extreme Speed and swung it at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. A loud bang rang out in mid-air as the swordsman Jessicano blocked Sabo's attack with his sword.
"Not bad. I didn't expect Carlos to have someone with your skills. It's quite a surprise. Please state your name. I believe a strongman like you couldn't be an unknown nobody!"
Sabo was surprised to see his attack blocked by a sword. Although he hadn't used his full strength, it was still not something an ordinary person could block. As he retracted the iron pipe and landed back on the ground, his expression gradually became serious. He looked into Jessicano's eyes and asked.
"Hahaha, what? Even you, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, are interested in knowing my identity? Very well, it's been a long time since I've mentioned this identity to anyone. My Jessicano, an ordinary swordsman from the New World. A big name like you probably hasn't heard of my tragic fate!"
Jessicano paused for a moment before revealing her identity.
"Um..."
On the other side, Catherine, who was watching alongside Luo Chen, trembled upon hearing the name Jessicano. 1, as if his identity was something special.
"What's wrong, Catherine? Is there something about the person with that name that's shocking to you?"
Luo Chen naturally noticed her unusual behavior and turned around to ask her softly.
"Yes, that name was known to everyone in the New World a few years ago. The famous swordsman of the New World, Iai Slash... Jessicano, a character who is both righteous and evil."
Although his exact strength is unclear, several pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million have died by his sword, including two major pirates with bounties exceeding 300 million who supposedly disappeared three years ago after being defeated by Hawk-Eye. It's truly astonishing that they've reappeared here!
Catherine's eyes were fixed on him as she explained to Luo Chen without turning her head. At the same time, a fierce fighting spirit burned in her eyes. This was the feeling of a swordsman. Any swordsman would feel very excited when he encountered a swordsman stronger than himself, and would be eager to fight the other party to prove his strength.
"Tch, how could I not recognize you? You're Jessicano, the famous swordsman who once challenged Hawk-Eye! I remember you disappeared after your battle with Hawk-Eye, didn't you? How come even a strongman like you willingly submits to Carlos? Have you abandoned your swordsman's dignity?!"
Upon hearing the name, Sabo quickly recognized him by combining his identity as a swordsman with other characteristics, and mercilessly mocked his current behavior.
"A swordsman's dignity? You can think of it however you want. When I was defeated by Hawk-Eye, my path to becoming a swordsman was already broken. Now, I follow Lord Carlos not only to repay his life-saving debt, but also to fulfill his ambitions. For this, I would gladly offer myself to the devil!!"
Even though he heard Sabo's disdain for his behavior, Jessicano didn't care and shook her head in response.
"I see. You really are capable, Carlos. No, I should say you truly deserve to be called the king of the Underworld, possessing such charisma to subdue such a powerful figure!"
Although Sabo despised Carlos's behavior, he couldn't help but admire his charisma, he said.
"However, this is no excuse for your atrocities. Fall down, Carlos! Dragon Claw... Dragon's Breath!!"
Click...
Click...
Rumble!!
Having said that, Sabo slightly twitched his right hand, forming a dragon claw shape, and gripped the ground tightly. After taking a deep breath, he roared, and a tremendous force erupted from his body.
The stone floor was easily crushed like a block of tofu, and cracks spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web. Then, with a crack, the entire floor shattered.
"Hmm... quite the strength. No wonder you're the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army. It seems I underestimated you..."
Under the powerful force of Sabo's Dragon Claw, even Carlos's body was a little unsteady. After swaying slightly a few times, he quickly regained his footing and stared at him with a somewhat solemn expression.
Swoosh...
"Then please savor it again..."
With that, Sabo used the recoil from his foot to charge at him.
"Hehehe, no, your opponent isn't me, it's him..."
Carlos still didn't take him seriously. The moment Sabo revealed his true feelings, Sabo's name had already been crossed off Carlos's list.
On this cruel and fiercely competitive sea, any kindness or compassion is useless. No matter how strong one is, such a mindset will ultimately drag them down. That's why Carlos couldn't see through Sabo's saintly mentality.
call out...
Bang!!
"I told you long ago that I was your opponent. If you want to challenge Lord Carlos, you'll have to step over my dead body, Revolutionary Army!"
Jessicano's legs moved swiftly across the floor, instantly accelerating him as he drew his sword and blocked Carlos's path.
"Damn it, fine then, let me see the true strength of you, the swordsman of Iai One Sword!!"
Seeing that he was completely entangled by Jessicano and unable to attack Carlos, Sabo angrily swung his iron pipe at his opponent.
Clang...
Clang...
The two clashed fiercely with their weapons in front of Carlos, each using their fastest speed, hoping to find the other's weakness first and defeat him in one blow.
Swoosh...
call out...
The two moved at an incredible speed; to the remaining strong individuals, their figures seemed to transform into streaks of Flowing Light, flashing past their eyes at breakneck Extreme Speed, making it impossible for them to see their movements clearly.
