Kizaru's swift defeat left the onlookers dumbfounded.
This was Admiral, one of the navy's top combatants, and he was defeated so easily?
Kizaru crashed into countless houses and trees before finally stopping; it was a miracle he didn't fall into the sea.
That was indeed a brutal blow; even a monster like Kizaru gasped in shock and spent a long time on the ground recovering from his injuries.
Well, this time he flew far enough, and no one else knows what's going on. He might as well just lie here for a while and wait for that troublesome monster Kazu to leave before he can go home and head back to headquarters.
On the other side, Kazu certainly didn't think it would be so easy to defeat a Admiral, but since the opponent hadn't made a move, Kazu was happy to see it happen.
Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between two old foxes.
"Let's go. Take those two idiots Carlmand and Behrens, and our new companions with us. Let's leave this place and step into New World."
Kazu and his group left the battlefield, and no one from either side of the navy dared to stop them. They could only helplessly watch as their opponents arrogantly departed.
"Damn it, I hate myself so much, I'm so weak."
"Yes, we're not qualified to go up and help at all. If we did, we'd just be protected."
Despite their resentment, the cleanup work still had to be done. One person went to find Admiral Kizaru, while the rest continued to rescue the unconscious soldiers.
The damaged areas can only be addressed later; the damage is too severe to be repaired quickly, and reconstruction is the only option.
Kazu and his group made several turns and soon arrived at the hospital where Carlmand and his group were.
Kazu originally wanted to send some local specialty fruits, but was too lazy to buy another portion, so he simply took out some fruits he had bought elsewhere from his Independent Space.
"Hey, Oulait, are you feeling better?"
Kazu acted very familiar as soon as he walked in, completely unconcerned that he was the one who had sent the other person to the hospital.
Oulait turned her head to look at Kazu, who walked in with a grin. Instead of being angry, she exuded a warm and enthusiastic aura.
"I feel great right now, I could even have another duel without any problem."
That's right, Carlmand and Behrens have been talking to him for ages, trying to get him to join the Blond Hair Pirates.
They even used Kazu as bait, saying that as long as he joined the Blond Hair Pirates, he could spar with Kazu every day.
A swordsman like Kazu is not someone you can just run into anytime you want. This kind of unique advantage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Having been influenced by Kazu for so long, Lao Liu's skills have improved considerably.
They've gone so far as to sell the captain's ship that they feel completely at ease with it.
Anyway, Captain Kazu spends his days either sunbathing or chatting with Robin and the others, so it's not a big deal to make him do some physical labor.
Oulait was also tempted, but he was too proud to ask to board the ship himself, so he was waiting for Captain Kazu to personally invite him.
"Hahaha, want a duel? That's easy."
"Come and be my son..."
"No, come and be my crew member."
Kazu, looking down at her with a confident smile, extended his right hand, inviting Oulait to board the ship.
"Whenever you make a breakthrough in your strength in the future, you can come and spar with me. This is a personal benefit I promise you as the captain."
Oulait was mentally prepared for Kazu's invitation. Without much thought, she sat up and grabbed Kazu's outstretched hand.
"In that case, I'll go with you."
"With a powerful swordsman captain like you by my side, the scenery on this high seas must be quite spectacular."
Everyone smiled when they saw that Oulait readily accepted the invitation.
The other person's swordsmanship is very pure; they are even willing to give up their life for their dream. They are also very strong, making them a truly rare and valuable partner.
"Let's go, it's time for us to head to the New World."
Everyone knew that the New World was the most dangerous sea, and the climax of the pirate journey was yet to come.
Oulait was also tough; he pulled out the IV needle, wrapped his arm in bandages, and followed Kazu and the others out of the hospital.
Upon arriving aboard the Divine Dragon, Oulait was utterly shocked by the sight before her.
Even Oulait, who doesn't have many material desires, couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of the Divine Dragon.
In just one second, he convinced himself that since he was already here, a better environment wouldn't be a bad thing; it was all for the sake of becoming stronger, and there was no shame in it.
However, this ship isn't coated; how is it going to get to Fish-Man Island?
There's no other way to enter the New World except through Fish-Man Island; you can't exactly cross the Red Line.
