"... A swordsman?!"
Even though his opponent had displayed an extraordinary level of skill, Luo Chen still didn't take him seriously. However, after witnessing this attack, he left the people in front of him behind and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehehe, this demon-headed sword has slain countless ferocious pirates. Today, I'll use you to test its power... Demon Face Slash!!"
weep...
The burly man leaped up once more, his blade flipping, a bright white glow flashing across the edge, as he slashed towards Luo Chen.
The sword rang out, and the surrounding wind was reversed and transformed into gusts of eerie wind. In Luo Chen's eyes, that attack directly transformed into a hellish Demon Cry and wailing as it came.
"Even so, what can they do to me? Rankyaku... Great Windmill!!"
Clang...
Luo Chen roared, stomping his foot hard on the ground and hooking the other foot upwards, stirring up boundless air currents. The air currents were transformed into a three-bladed fan blade, which flipped and flew towards the demon.
boom...
The fan blade clashed with the demon mask, unleashing a powerful gust of wind. Highly condensed air currents darted about, instantly sending all the clutter in the bar flying and creating chaos all around.
"Damn it, again... Demon Cry!!"
Swoosh...
The burly man was unwilling to give up. He sheathed his ghost-headed saber, spun it around in front of him, and then swung it from the side to slash.
weep...
Pirate Hunter Gol Jozu gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, his comprehended power coalescing on the blade, instantly forming a terrifying demon mask that roared and slashed down.
"Interesting... a section of Tekkai... Gale Fist!!"
Clang!!
His qi and blood gathered in his right arm, and his muscles instantly contracted Hardening, as if forming a transparent armor on his fist. It trembled slightly as it slammed into the oncoming demon mask.
Bang...
The fist imprint slammed in, instantly shattering the ghost mask. The fist struck the ghost head blade, creating a violent tremor.
Buzzing...
The aftershocks spread along the blade, sending splinters of wood flying up and scattering on either side of the two men.
"Hateful..."
Seeing his attack thwarted once again, Gol Jozu became enraged and drew his sword to slash wildly.
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
The blade flashed, each strike aimed right at Luo Chen's vital points, but thanks to his enhanced Observation Haki, or rather, his pure sense of danger, he narrowly avoided them.
"Local Tekkai... whip kick!!"
Swoosh...
Luo Chen braced himself with one foot on the ground, then lashed out with the other, creating a violent roar as he swept his leg from the side with overwhelming force.
Bang...
Gol Jozu only had time to draw his sword to defend himself, but the powerful force sent him flying, sword and all, crashing into several round tables behind him.
Swish... swish... swish...
"Kill them..."
Just then, the Pirate Hunter who had been thrown back by the wind swung their swords through the dust and smoke and slashed at Luo Chen's chest.
"Naive!! Shigan... Barrage!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
After saying that, Luo Chen's arm instantly created dozens of afterimages.
Bang bang bang...
All the hunters gripped their swords and barely managed to withstand two or three attacks before being entangled by the finger shadows. After letting out a muffled utterance, they all followed in Gol Jozu's footsteps and were sent flying backward.
"Don't underestimate me... Great Oni Giri!!"
Gol Jozu then appeared in front of Luo Chen, gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and swung it down hard at Luo Chen's head.
" Tekkai!!"
Clang!!
A glint flashed across Luo Chen's body as the blade struck his forehead, unleashing a powerful shockwave.
"Damn it... is it really that strong?"
Despite his best efforts, Gol Jozu could not break through Luo Chen's defense, and he was even more unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth and saying.
"Is that all? I overestimated you. As a swordsman, you haven't even reached the Realm of Cutting Steel. This is a disgrace to swordsmen. Get lost..."
Bang...
After Luo Chen finished speaking, his fist instantly broke through the air layer and exploded in his chest.
Pfft~
Struck by the sudden, immense force, Gol Jozu felt a sharp pain in his stomach, his face instantly turning ashen as he coughed up a mouthful of blood and curled up like a shrimp as he flew backward.
Bang bang bang...
In an instant, Gol Jozu's body smashed through three houses before coming to a stop, leaving a row of V-shaped holes in front of Luo Chen.
"Alright, I'm fed up with playing with you guys for so long, get out of here..."
Luo Chen glanced around at the Pirate Hunter who were struggling to their feet, their eyes still showing a hint of fear, and then raised the corner of his mouth and reprimanded them.
"... Damn it, he's only one person; he can't stop so many of us. Let's all charge in and cut off his head to collect the government's reward..."
"Go!!"
"Kill them..."
The remaining dozen or so hunters who dared not step forward, spurred on by the bounty, rushed forward in a swarm.
"A bunch of idiots who won't listen to reason, they dare to charge at us recklessly just because of a few words!!"
Seeing this group of foolish Pirate Hunter who valued money over their lives rushing towards him, Luo Chen could only shake his head and sigh softly.
"Shave..."
call out...
Having said that, he suddenly One Flash and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Where did you go?"
The dozen or so people stopped, startled, and looked around frantically.
"I'm here... Shigan Secret Technique... Heavy Cannon Fist!!"
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The sound had barely reached their ears, and before they could react, Luo Chen transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flashed past them, leaving fist imprints on their chests.
When Luo Chen reappeared, the group collapsed at his feet, losing consciousness and falling into a coma.
"Tch... a bunch of little bugs dare to cause me trouble? My good mood is ruined. Oh well, let's go back. Boss, get me two more bottles of rum; I want to take them home and enjoy them. As for these things on the ground..."
Luo Chen patted the dust off his chest, walked back to the bar counter, and spoke to the owner.
"Uh... you don't need to pay for this, and all your previous debts are off the table; consider it a small token of my appreciation..."
The boss rubbed his hands together and came over, fawning over her.
"No need. Everything I ordered before, and everything else, is on the bill. And all your losses are on these guys' shoulders..."
Luo Chen shook his head and pointed to the Pirate Hunter had fainted on the floor, saying.
"Sir, please take this..."
A moment later, the shopkeeper handed Luo Chen two bottles of rum.
"Hmm, how much?!"
"Ten thousand Beli!!"
"Give..."
Luo Chen took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to him, then slowly walked out towards the port with the wine bottle behind him.
"Moshi moshi... I'm Christine. Yes, I found that guy in the bar I own in Flyton, the Shichibukai Luo Chen. Yes, it was my mother who specifically instructed us to do this. We will do our utmost to accomplish this task."
After seeing Luo Chen finally walk away, he glanced down at the dozen or so people lying on the ground, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, before walking to the bar, picking up the microphone, and reporting the matter to the contact person on Whole Cake Island.
"Understood. Stay put where you are and await further instructions. I'll report this to Mom right away..."
The man instructed the shopkeeper to remain still, then hurriedly went to report to the ministers after hanging up.
Knock knock...
The contact stopped in one of the rooms inside the Whole Cake Chateau and gently knocked on the door with his finger.
Come in~
Click...
The contact person pushed open the door and entered.
"Lick it~ What's wrong?"
"Yes, Lord Perospero, we have discovered traces of Luo Chen and his group on Feilidun Island in the New World, and have come to request your instructions..."
" Feilidun? I understand. You can leave now. I'll talk to Mom about this..."
"Yes..."
