"Get out of the way! The captain's angry!"
"Getting caught in the combat zone will kill you!"
"Who is that person? How could he so easily block the captain's attack!"
Upon seeing the battle unfolding, the members of the Silver Axe Pirates retreated in terror.
Unfortunately, they were too slow to retreat and were sent flying by the force of their battle.
"What an intense battle! Who is this person? I didn't expect the Azure Emperor Pirates to have such a powerful member besides the Azure Emperor himself?"
The vice-captain of the Silver Axe Pirates, known as the Gale Swordsman Solo (just kidding), also noticed the battle between Silver Axe and Bullet, and said with a surprised expression.
"He's the vice-captain of our Azure Emperor, isn't it only natural that he has such strength?" Shanks said with a smile as he fought against Solo.
"First mate Bullet? That Demon Heir of the former Roger Pirates?" Solo also remembered the name Bullet.
"Mr. Bullet is very strong!" Shanks said with a smile.
"650"
"It's clear that not only Bullet, but you're also very strong. Hey, Red Hair, I still don't even know your name!"
"I'm not called Red Hair. Let's get to know each other again. Shanks, the First Division commander of the Azure Emperor Pirates!"
" The First Division Captain? No wonder he's so strong. But I'm the Vice-Captain of the Silver Axe Pirates. I can't afford to waste too much time on you, the First Division Captain. I need to finish you off quickly and find someone of equal strength to fight. Since your Vice-Captain has come to challenge our Captain, then I, the Vice-Captain, will go and have some fun with your Captain!"
"That won't do. My mission today is to stop all of you officers, including you, the first mate!"
The two resumed their fierce battle.
Shanks also trained in Roger Pirates for several years.
After being taught by Zesi, Rayleigh, Roger, and others, and after several years of intense battles, he has already acquired considerable strength.
Especially in recent years, Shanks Awakening Conqueror's Haki.
Their strength has been increasing at an ever-rapid pace.
Although his opponent was the vice-captain of the Silver Axe Pirates, a veteran pirate in the New World, Shanks ' strength was by no means inferior!
On the other side, the battle between Kanjuro and his group was also extremely fierce.
Zesi was well aware of Kanjuro and the others' strength and abilities, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Instead, it was the Kirikage that caught Zesi's attention more.
Zesi first noticed Kirikage during the attack on Pirate Hachinosu.
Zesi saw him on the surveillance footage.
Zesi recognized the extraordinary nature of Kirikage almost immediately.
That calm and unrestrained expression.
That elegant and freehand swordsmanship.
Everyone has to notice him.
Later, Zesi learned that the full name of the Kirikage was Kirikage Saizo, and he was the son of the head of the Kirikage Dojo in Wano Country.
He showed exceptional talent in kendo from a young age.
Kirikage Saizo's father once said that if Kirikage Saizo hadn't been so lazy, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to become a samurai of the same caliber as the Sword God in the future.
Later, Kirikage Saizo's father was killed by samurai ninjas sent by Orochi for rebelling against Orochi.
In order to avenge his father, Kirikage Saizo repeatedly infiltrated the general's mansion to assassinate Orochi.
However, none of them succeeded because of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit.
However, Kirikage Saizo is Devil Fruit User.
Yes, it's the Kilo-Kilo Fruit that Miss Valentine in the Baroque era possessed.
It can also be called Kilo-Kilo Fruit.
It can make the body lighter or heavier, measured in kilograms.
Kirikage Saizo prefers to call it the Kilo-Kilo Fruit.
Thanks to the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, he evaded the general's mansion's pursuit several times.
However, on his last attempt, he was pursued by the samurai and ninja forces of the general's mansion. He barely escaped, but was seriously injured in the process.
Just as Kirikage Saizo his injuries and was preparing to assassinate Orochi again, news suddenly arrived that Orochi had been killed, Kaido had been defeated, Kozuki Oden had returned to the position of Admiral.
Later, after making careful inquiries, he learned that it was the Azure Emperor who killed Orochi, defeated Kaido, and helped Kozuki Oden regain control of Wano Country.
Not long after, he heard that the Azure Emperor Pirates were recruiting crew members, so he joined.
Upon hearing about Kirikage Saizo's Devil Fruit, Zesi immediately understood what was going on.
If he hadn't killed Orochi and defeated Kaido...
Kirikage Saizo's continued assassinations of Orochi will surely attract Kaido.
Orochi is Kaido's tool for ruling Wano Country, so naturally, they wouldn't let him get into trouble so easily.
Given Kaido's strength and abilities, Kirikage Saizo absolutely no chance of escaping.
After Kirikage Saizo's death, the Kilo-Kilo Fruit ended up in Miss Valentine's hands.
According to Zesi's detailed inquiry, Kirikage Saizo obtained the Kilo-Kilo Fruit at a very young age.
From the variations in Kilo-Kilo Fruit, Kirikage Saizo grasped the principles of weight variation in swordsmanship.
He further comprehended the four variations of lightness, heaviness, speed, and slowness in swordsmanship, earning him the title of a swordsmanship prodigy.
These four sword techniques—light, heavy, slow, and fast—possess endless variations, making Kirikage Saizo's swordsmanship mysterious and unpredictable, yet also elegant and free-flowing.
With the added advantage of the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, even Zesi was amazed by his swordsmanship.
If he can improve his strength in the future, he might even be comparable to Hawk Eyes, the future World's Greatest Swordsman.
As time passed, the battlefield grew larger and more intense, but at this moment, Zesi gradually frowned...
What made Zesi frown was not the Kirikage Saizo, nor the Shanks Easter Egg, nor even his samurai.
Even though the enemy outnumbered them, the Azure Emperor Pirates still managed to overwhelm them.
What made Zesi frown was Bullet.
Zesi sensed that something was wrong with Bullet.
"Haha, my mercury power isn't so easy to bear. You're the first to last this long!" Silver Axe said coldly.
It turns out that Silver Axe is Devil Fruit User the Silver-Silver Fruit.
However, this silver, besides being silver, is also mercury.
Silver is a metal, while mercury is highly poisonous.
Silver Axe's Silver-Silver Fruit is similar to Tesoro's Gold-Gold Fruit ability; he can control silver dust to scatter around him.
During the battle, Bullet naturally inhaled the silver powder, thus becoming silently poisoned.
The Silver Axe can control these silver dust.
However, given Bullet's strength, even a little bit of silver powder wouldn't have any effect on him.
However, Bullet can also convert this silver powder into highly toxic mercury.
The increasing amount of mercury caused Bullet to experience pain, dizziness, blurred vision, and weakness.
"I'll leave this to you!" Zesi said to Spencer, who was standing beside him.
Without waiting for Spencer's reply, he drew his longsword, and in a flash, he traversed the entire battlefield.
Seeing the pained expression on Bullet's face, Silver Axe smiled coldly, raised his silver axe high, and slashed fiercely at Bullet.
Just then, a clear and distinct dragon roar rang out.
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Silver Axe sensed an immense and terrifying crisis approaching.
However, he did not retract his strike.
With his experience, he suddenly increased his strength, pushing the axe out with even greater force.
"Boom!" A flash of light appeared, and a person suddenly appeared in the battlefield between Bullet and Silver Axe.
With a deafening roar, the sword and the Silver Axe clashed together.
Silver Axe felt a terrifying vibration constantly emanating from the sword.
The force was so great that he was involuntarily thrown back ten meters.
After regaining his balance, Silver Axe looked in horror at the person who had suddenly appeared.
" The Azure Emperor? He's really quite composed. No wonder he's the Emperor of the Sea, coming through a storm of blood and gore!" Silver Axe saw Zesi.
Then, looking at the countless Silver Axe Pirates members who had died under the invisible sword energy of the Azure Emperor along the way as Zesi appeared, his eyes narrowed in shock.
His gaze toward Zesi grew even more serious.
