In the East Blue, a bounty of over 25 million is quite rare. While they are common in the Grand Line, they are truly great pirates in the East Blue.

If the number were to reach 30 million, it would attract the attention of the Marine Headquarters, leading to increased pursuit and crackdown efforts. So he still has reason to be proud, but his vision is too narrow, like a frog in a well.

"It's fortunate that the East Blue has a strongman like you. If you became a bounty hunter or a Marine, there would be far fewer pirates in the East Blue."

Ordinary people could live a better life, but you joined the pirate crew, not only failing to protect your homeland, the East Blue, but also participating in destruction. You could have seen higher skies, but today you are destined to sink to the bottom of the sea!

Rebecca started off calmly, but she became extremely angry as she spoke!

She thought of Vic's parents, such good people, yet they both died at the hands of pirates in the East Blue. If the strong in the East Blue could become Pirate Hunter or marines to fight pirates, perhaps that tragedy would not have happened, and the deep loneliness buried in Vic's heart would not have surfaced.

Although Rebecca was thinking from her own perspective, what she said was correct. If more people fight against pirates, the number of pirates will inevitably decrease significantly. With this shift in power, the lives of ordinary people in the East Blue will definitely be better than they are now.

Nami's village was exploited for ten years, but that was just a microcosm; there were many others in the East Blue living in dire straits.

Although Rebecca could sense some of Vic's loneliness, that loneliness was not due to the death of his parents in this world. He was a soul from another world and had never been able to fully integrate into this world with different rules, which was why he occasionally felt lonely!

"Heh, then we'll see how strong you are. Don't think that just because you can fly with the help of external objects, you're a match for me. I'm no weakling!"

After saying that, he drew two knives from his waist and rushed towards Rebecca with lightning speed, intending to strike first. Although he spoke kindly, he was still full of vigilance. He drew his two knives and slashed at Rebecca.

Rebecca remained calm and did not want to use any abilities other than the Float-Float Fruit in the fight. Vic had originally intended for her to get used to the practical combat capabilities of the Float-Float Fruit.

For now, the key is to use the flying sword on my back to defeat this pirate. As for using land or seawater to attack, that's for later.

Rebecca remained hovering beside the ship on her flying sword, her sword case on her back opening and closing with a soft hum, and a flying sword shot out from behind her, hurtling towards the pirate captain.

Instead of blocking the incoming twin blades, the flying sword aimed directly at the pirate's forehead, striking where the enemy would have to defend. If the pirate swordsman had recklessly attacked, Rebecca's flying sword could have pierced his brain, and then his twin blades wouldn't have even touched a shred of Rebecca's clothing.

"What kind of weapon is this? Why can it fly?"

"What kind of move is that? Could the wooden box on her back be full of these kinds of weapons?"

"This is going to be tricky! Captain, you're in danger!"

"Could he be a legendary Devil Fruit User?"

"What is Devil Fruit User? Is this amazing attack method what you're talking about? Tell me more!"

"..."

Upon seeing Rebecca's flying sword, the other pirates on the ship began to discuss it amongst themselves. Some were worried about their captain, while others were wondering how the weapon was controlled.

Only a few had heard the legends of Devil Fruit, and they knew to just think of it that way if it didn't make sense. But most of them couldn't explain it either, since they had only heard it from others. They couldn't get involved in the fight between the two, and could only worry about their captain.

The pirate swordsman remained wary of Rebecca, as Rebecca hadn't made a move yet, so he dared not let his guard down, and even when he slashed with his twin swords, he held back.

Seeing yet another flying blade hurtling towards him, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, realizing that the wooden box on Rebecca's back was probably full of these flying blades.

The pirate swordsman sheathed his sword with his left hand to defend, while his right hand slashed horizontally, deflecting the flying sword that was about to hit his face.

He didn't stop there; he continued to walk closer to Rebecca, feeling this was an opportunity, as he was now very close to Rebecca.

But Rebecca wouldn't let him have his way. Her Observation Haki wasn't just for show; another flying sword shot out from behind her and flew towards the pirate swordsman.

The flying sword that had been knocked away turned around and flew towards the back of his head. The attack from both sides was now in place, and if he was not careful, he would die in the northwest!

These are just two swords. If all thirty or so flying swords in the sword box were released to attack, without Armament Haki defense, one would be completely overwhelmed and unable to defend against them.

It's definitely more troublesome than Onigumo's Ten-Sword Style. This is a flying sword without any roots to bind it, and it can attack from anywhere, making it even more threatening.

Coupled with their numerical advantage, it's truly terrifying. If Rebecca's Armament Haki enough and she wraps her flying sword with Armament Haki, its power will be absolutely terrifying, far surpassing even veteran vice Vice Admiral like Onigumo.

The pirate swordsman knew Rebecca was no ordinary person just from seeing the blades flying out of the box; there must be more flying blades in the box, so he didn't panic when he saw another one flying towards him.

It would take some time for the blade behind him to pierce him. He could deal with the one in front of him first, then deal with the one behind him. He didn't regard these flying swords as swords, but only as flying blades, because they were not like traditional swords. Flying swords were a concept brought to him by Vic, so he was even less familiar with them.

After deflecting the flying sword in front of him, he immediately leaped to dodge the blade thrusting from behind, but he was getting further and further away from Rebecca.

Rebecca then controlled two flying swords that flew towards him in a crisscross pattern. He dodged them one by one and then frantically approached Rebecca's location. He knew that the sooner he got close to Rebecca, the greater his chance of winning would be. If it went on for too long, it wouldn't just be two or three flying swords chasing him; it would only become more and more dangerous. If he couldn't even touch her, then wanting to defeat her was just wishful thinking.

Rebecca's two flying swords were too late to defend, so she had to throw out a third one. This time, the pirate swordsman seemed to be acting recklessly.

With a burst of speed, he knocked away the third flying sword. The other two still couldn't be defended in time. Rebecca remained calm and unhurried. If there wasn't enough time, she could just keep releasing flying swords. Anyway, it was still a piece of cake for her.

The battle continued. The pirate swordsman used all his skills but could only deflect Rebecca's fifth flying sword. If he dared to charge forward again, several of the flying swords that he had previously deflected would circle back and pierce him through.

He couldn't get close to Rebecca, which was very frustrating. He knew that Rebecca was probably a user of some kind of Devil Fruit and was just toying with him, never showing her full strength.
