The next day, it was just getting light.
A dozen nautical miles from the Kales Island, a huge pirate ship sped forward, cutting through the waves.
The pirate flag fluttering in the wind startled any pirates they encountered along the way, who quickly gave way.
The black flag with a white skull design features two distinctive Western-style swords straddling its back, and three red lines resembling claw marks above the skull's right eye socket.
It can be said that as long as you are on this vast ocean...
He knew perfectly well that the pirate ship in front of him represented Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea.
It is the entity that dominates a sea area.
To appear here at this critical juncture.
That means the rumors that circulated not long ago about Dracule Mihawk, one of the Shichibukai and the World's Greatest Swordsman, challenging the Marine Fourth Admiral War Demon Bai Yu, are probably true.
Originally, the pirates who gathered here were all there to watch the excitement.
Unfortunately, the battle that took place yesterday during the Totto Land feast completely disrupted everything.
The combat power unleashed by War Demon Bai Yu, overturned their understanding.
Meanwhile, many people are even more worried about whether the battle on Kales Island, considered the strongest swordsmanship, can continue just one day later.
Now, to see Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, appear at this critical juncture...
Could there really be a chance?
However, this idea, which had just begun to emerge in the minds of many people, was quickly dismissed.
In yesterday's battle, the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, fought with all his might to severely injure the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin.
This result was indeed beyond many people's expectations.
However, they believed that the injuries sustained by the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, were definitely not minor.
After all, Charlotte Linlin, Four Emperors, represents the pinnacle of power in her era.
Even if Bai Yu pays a greater price for his victory, no one will dare to underestimate him.
Most importantly, during yesterday's Totto Land banquet, Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors who had been relentlessly pursuing the War Demon Bai Yu, also made an appearance.
However, the battle between Bai Yu and Charlotte Linlin started too quickly and ended too quickly.
This caused Kaido of the Beasts to miss his target entirely.
Afterwards, Bai Yu returned and forcefully cut off Charlotte Linlin's other arm.
This incident, in the eyes of anyone, is undoubtedly a severe slap in the face to Kaido of the Beasts.
It's fair to say that the onlookers had no idea whether Bai Yu would actually come to the fight.
However, Kaido of the Beasts, who has been humiliated time and again, will probably not let go of this opportunity to wait for his prey to come to him.
Once Bai Yu really arrives...
I'm afraid the first one we'll have to deal with isn't Dracule Mihawk.
On the contrary, it was Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors.
"Look, that's Dracule Mihawk! I'd heard before that Dracule Mihawk and Red-Haired Shanks had a close relationship, but I never expected them to show up at the same time!"
"Tch, this is a battle of swordsmanship's pinnacle. Who knows what might happen? Bringing one of the Four Emperors to provide support is only natural."
"However, if Kaido of the Beasts Four Emperors does show up, then will War Demon Bai Yu have to face the pressure from two Four Emperors again?"
"Given this situation, will War Demon Bai Yu, ' still come?"
"..."
The scene immediately erupted in excitement.
It can be said that, in the face of a battle that represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship, hundreds of pirate crews have already gathered in the sea area centered around Kales Island.
The number of attendees was comparable to yesterday's Totto Land feast.
However, with the appearance of Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, who personally took charge, the situation changed.
Ninety-nine percent of the pirate crews retreated to a sufficient distance.
Only a handful of people remained, and they dared to stay in the same place.
Among them was the figure of the kingpin of the underground black market.
Big News Morgans, piloting a giant Red-Haired Shanks teleportation Den Den Mushi ) to broadcast the big news, beat Shanks to the punch and landed on his pirate ship.
"Haha, Captain Shanks, it's been a long time! I never expected you'd be the one to lead the charge in this final battle. This is Big News Morgans!"
As soon as Big News Morgans, he burst into a friendly laugh.
"However, after yesterday's battle, the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, has become famous throughout this vast sea."
" Charlotte Linlin was indeed severely injured, but that brat's injuries must be quite serious as well, especially after using that secret Secret Technique Taijutsu that's been causing such a stir on the high seas lately. That thing really takes a toll on the body!"
"Under these circumstances, Captain Shanks and Dracule Mihawk, do you think War Demon Bai Yu, will still come to fight?"
These words instantly drew everyone's attention.
It's fair to say that they gathered here simply to join in the fun.
As for the idea of taking advantage of a bargain, after witnessing Bai Yu's strength firsthand, very few people would still have such thoughts.
With the Big News Morgans immediately laid out the facts, which was undoubtedly the thing they were most eager to know.
I believe he will definitely come back.
Dracule Mihawk spoke calmly.
"Because, according to that brat, I'm also a target worth killing."
The bizarre statement left many people momentarily stunned.
This slightly self-deprecating way of putting it seems a bit out of place given Dracule Mihawk's aloof persona.
However, it is precisely because of this that it is enough to show that Dracule Mihawk truly regards the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, as a formidable rival.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated each other as equals.
If this were before Bai Yu severely injured Charlotte Linlin, Four Emperors.
They would absolutely scoff at it, because this is Dracule Mihawk's grand gesture.
Now, instead, I'm eager to know about the World's Greatest Swordsman.
A rising star in the navy, and a force to be reckoned with.
Between the two, who truly represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship?
"I also think that brat will definitely come."
Red-Haired Shanks chuckled dryly and nodded in agreement.
"Don't forget, yesterday's trap was far worse than today's; that brat actually dared to attend."
"It would be really strange if he didn't come today."
"Don't forget, that brat is a demon born for battle; he only cares about whether a target is worth killing, and he has no concept of retreating in the face of battle."
The soft sound echoed across the sea.
To see the mighty Shichibukai, the world's strongest swordsman, and Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, give such high praise right off the bat.
This completely overturned their understanding.
However, at this moment, looking at everyone in the room, there was only one thing they were more eager to know.
Will War Demon Bai Yu, the Marine Fourth Admiral, really come?
