" Admiral Bai Yu, the aura you emitted just now was truly terrifying. It seems you held back during your battle with the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin."
"If this gets out, it will probably cause a huge upheaval in the ocean, making even the Four Emperors pale in comparison."
Those present were equally shocked by these words.
The strength Bai Yu displayed in that battle had completely overturned their understanding.
Even Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, was reduced to a human stump.
Such strength is more than enough to make him a king.
If Bai Yu really has something to hide.
Does that mean Bai Yu is stronger than Charlotte Linlin?
"Hehe, Jinbe, you flatter me. I just had a sudden realization about swordsmanship and made a breakthrough in my realm." Bai Yu casually took a swig of strong liquor, shook his head with a smile, and said.
"That was one of the Four Emperors! I didn't even have time to fight back, let alone hold back."
"However, if I were to fight Charlotte Linlin again, it might be easier, and it wouldn't be over in just two minutes!"
Two minutes?
Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Is this a massive Versailles-style event?
Turning a Four Emperors into a human stump in two minutes—even a real Four Emperors couldn't do that.
Perhaps this also includes Charlotte Linlin's underestimation and the fact that she was ambushed.
However, Bai Yu managed to do it all by himself.
Most importantly, Bai Yu just broke through to a higher level.
Luo was unclear about what realm or level meant.
However, all he needed to know was that the killing god before him had become even more formidable.
It seems we really made the right choice in latching onto this powerful patron.
Whether they're from the navy or pirates, as long as the hair on that thigh is a little thick and prickly...
Whether or not someone can touch him depends on Bai Yu, his powerful backer.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through my mind.
The frustration of being used as a tool was swept away by Luo.
That spirited demeanor and the bright look in his eyes.
Bepo and the others were practically stunned.
Jinbe was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Brother Bai Yu, if we had your skill for those two minutes, we'd be incredibly envious."
"If you continue fighting, Charlotte Linlin might not only lose an arm, but she might also lose her life."
"However, now that you mention it, I'm actually a little curious. In your upcoming duel with Dracule Mihawk, whose swordsmanship will be superior!"
"I think that after tomorrow, this ocean will once again define the World's Greatest Swordsman."
The sound of rolling words echoed in the cabin.
Bai Yu clearly felt a little awkward listening to those two minutes of comments.
However, Jinbe's words still made Bai Yu think of a method that might quickly increase the unlock value of the Main Body Template and be used on Dracule Mihawk.
As the atmosphere warmed up, Bai Yu and the others talked for a while. Bai Yu then took the opportunity to go back and recover from the physical exhaustion caused by the Eight Gates Released.
Recalling the power unleashed by the Seventh Gate, it was indeed beyond Bai Yu's expectations.
Coupled with the Nozarashi, they even cut off Charlotte Linlin's arm.
If the consequences are disregarded, the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, will be opened.
Bai Yu believes that the Four Emperors must die!
However, this was not the result Bai Yu wanted.
Compared to the existence of the Four Emperors, the Five Elders are clearly a greater threat.
Until we have more trump cards up our sleeve.
Bai Yu also plans to keep the Eighth Gate hidden and continue to lure in bigger fish.
Otherwise, opening all Eight Gates will scare away all the worthwhile targets.
That Main Body Template, what's the point of unlocking it?
We still have about half a day and a night to go before arriving at the Kales Island.
Besides recovering his strength, Bai Yu's main goal was to master the techniques of the cute girl Miyamoto Musashi.
Only by fully mastering the way of the sword can Bai Yu be confident that he can break through the 70% mark in unlocking his Main Body Template in one fell swoop.
To achieve a qualitative leap.
" Hancock, you can rest here for a while. After tomorrow's business is finished, I will arrange a warship for you as payment."
After leading Hancock to the side hall, Gion said with a smile.
"However, I've always heard rumors that you're a ruthless Pirate Empress who'll stop at nothing and acts according to her own whims."
"Now it seems that all those rumors were wrong. Not only are you kind-hearted and willing to save people, but you also care about Admiral Bai Yu."
"If we abandon our identities as pirates and marines, perhaps we can try being sisters."
"If there's nothing else, Hancock, I'll be going now. There are still many things to arrange for tomorrow's battle."
After saying a string of words, Gion turned and left with a smile.
Only Sandersonia and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
And then there's Hancock, looking completely bewildered.
This was the first time that Hancock, who was always proud, had been so recognized.
Moreover, the other party is a Marine Admiral Candidate.
They even forgot about the word "sister."
This has somewhat shattered Hancock's worldview.
And that one sentence expressing concern for Admiral Bai Yu!
What the hell is this?
Hancock snapped out of her daze, sensing the change in the atmosphere, and gritted her teeth, letting out a cold snort.
" Mari, Sonia, I have a question for you."
"Was everything that woman said just now just nonsense? I saved people only on a whim."
"Is it possible that I care about that despicable arrogance?"
"I just saw him going to war and couldn't help but offer a word of advice."
"Thinking he might be in danger, being unable to resist checking on him, and incidentally wanting to repay a favor—what does that have to do with caring for someone?"
She is the captain of the Kuja Pirates, the empress of the Kuja Kingdom, and Shichibukai.
Hancock thought to herself that she had sailed the seas for so long, what storms hadn't she seen?
However, the little turmoil stirring in her heart now made her a bit unsure of what to do.
It has a strange taste.
Especially the smell of the navy coat he was wearing.
And then there were the scenes of Bai Yu's actions just now.
Hancock didn't know whether Bai Yu had seen the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon.
However, this old trope of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress did make Hancock uneasy.
Marigold and Sandersonia were momentarily stunned.
Faced with Hancock's somewhat blunt question, Marigold coughed and blushed slightly.
"Sister, actually, it would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that you've brought it up, I seem to remember the expression on Granny Nyon when she recalled it back then—it was exactly the same as yours."
"My mother-in-law said this is a sign of falling in love, and it's the feeling of being in love."
"Big sister, you haven't really fallen in love with that navy guy, have you?"
"If you're not sure, sister, we can call your mother-in-law and ask."
What does it feel like to be in love?
Hancock was stunned, and Bai Yu's image flashed through her mind.
She quickly shook her head to dispel it.
She always considered it a disgrace that her Granny Nyon had run off to pursue love on her own and abandoned her on Amazon Lily.
Now Marigold suddenly told her.
This is a sign that you're in a relationship.
Hancock simply couldn't accept that.
