Youngsters! Loki's blind date
And so, time began to pass.
A new year has arrived; it is now the year 1534 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Chapter 193 Young People! Loki's Blind Date
On a small island in a certain sea area in the early part of the New World.
Boom boom boom!
The sky trembled, and the atmosphere groaned.
Shells streaked across the sky and rained down, unleashing a devastating storm.
The towering flames, like blooming flowers, instantly transformed the entire island into Flower Field.
Even the sky was stained dark, with flames, storms, and shockwaves raging. The entire island was only one step away from complete collapse.
What caused all this was the massive naval warships that were looming across the distant sea. At this moment, the heavy cannons extending from the gun turrets on the sides of the warships were still spewing flames.
On the island.
"Run! The navy is coming!"
"It's the Marine Guerrilla Unit! Thousand Shadows Naito is here!"
"No! The ship has been completely destroyed! There's nowhere left to escape!"
The pirates on the island were bombarded and were crying out in pain, fleeing in all directions in a sorry state.
But they had no idea where to escape to, and in the end, they could only despair and be torn to pieces in the bombing.
Damn it!
In a corner of the island, a tall and strong pirate leaped up and punched an oncoming cannonball, shattering it mid-air.
The flames from the explosion were sent flying forward by his punch, detonating several more shells.
The man landed heavily on the ground, his expression unwavering, still filled with rage. "The entire island is going to be flattened! What kind of firepower is this? Buster Call?!"
Do we really need to go to such lengths to deal with this?
"Captain!"
He turned around, "What are we going to do now! The ship's been blown to bits! There's no way to escape!"
The man he referred to as the captain was a short, unremarkable young man.
The man, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, had an unusually cold expression, seemingly unconcerned about the rain of shells falling from the sky and his men screaming and running in all directions.
"The ship was blown up, why not just steal one?"
The pirate captain's gaze pierced through the thick smoke and flames, landing on the several massive warships on the sea. "In fact, these warships are far superior to our own ships."
"But Captain,"
Standing next to the pirate captain was a tall, thin man with a long sword at his waist. "This is Marine Guerrilla Unit, commanded by that Thousand Shadows Naito! For nearly a year, they've wiped out countless pirates on both sides of the Grand Line!"
"You mean, I'm afraid of him?"
The pirate captain immediately turned around and gave the man a death stare, "Who do you think I am?"
"You are Kamaitachi Raifu, one of this year's Pirate Supernovas with a bounty of 160 million!"
A cold, sharp voice suddenly came from ahead.
The three pirates looked up in surprise at the same time.
One after another, figures shot down from the sky and landed in front of the three of them.
"That's enough, pirates."
The woman had beautiful, shoulder-length blue hair and a cold expression.
"Ain is right,"
Beside her, a man dressed like a ninja, with exceptionally long limbs, chuckled mockingly, "You guys seem pretty arrogant since you didn't run into us in the first half, you wild dogs! You even dared to attack Affiliated Nation, you're really fearless!"
Pirate captain, the pirate Supernovas had just burst into the New World from the first half of the Grand Line, Kamaitachi Raifu frowned deeply.
Beside him, the burly pirate couldn't help but exclaim, "Ain, Binz, Smoker, Drake, Grus, Sanji, Hina —they're all those rising young marines under Thousand Shadows Naito's command!"
The tall, thin pirate with a sword also looked grave. "Although their ranks aren't high, I've heard they're responsible for taking care of most of the pirates the Marine Guerrilla Unit have wiped out! Captain, they're not to be underestimated!"
"Don't underestimate them! Hmph! I've really been looked down upon!"
Captain Raifu merely snorted, "Where are the Thousand Shadows Naito? Do you expect me to use you bunch of scum to deal with me?"
"Aren't we the ones being looked down upon?"
Smoker, who habitually had two cigars dangling from his lips, sneered, his body instantly turning into white smoke. "What's the point of talking to these guys? Let's go!"
The smoke transformed into a white snake, instantly piercing through the air and heading straight for the three pirates.
"Logia?"
The burly pirate cried out in surprise and slammed his fist into the white snake.
But it was of no use.
No matter how strong he is, without mastering Haki, he cannot harm Smoker in the slightest.
Instead, the mist that Smoker had transformed into instantly sealed him off.
On one side of the mist, Smoker's upper body materialized, his right fist Coating in invisible energy, "White Blow!"
His arm turned into white smoke, and he slammed his fist out, which slammed heavily into the face of the burly pirate, instantly twisting and deforming his features.
Wow!
The burly pirate only had time to let out a scream before his eyes rolled back in his head.
"Let him go!"
The air was instantly torn apart by a sharp arc of light, and the tall, thin pirate shot in, his long sword drawn.
When!
Amidst the resounding explosion, the tall, thin pirate's arms trembled violently, and his expression changed drastically.
"What?"
"Brother Smoker, you're welcome."
Sanji glances back triumphantly.
He instantly stepped in front of Smoker, taking the blow with his chest.
"Have a finger in the pie."
Smoker rolled his eyes in annoyance.
He's Haki against pirates who don't use Haki!
"Sanji, can't you really ask your father to get me a Vinsmoke family battle suit too?"
A giant dinosaur galloped past Sanji, crashing heavily into the tall, thin pirate like a locomotive.
The dinosaur's head was also Coating in invisible waves, and with one headbutt, it broke the pirate's bones and tendons.
"I told you, if you want it, go find that old bastard yourself!"
Wearing his battle suit, Sanji stepped on the air and launched himself forward like a black cannonball, heading straight for Raifu.
"Two useless things!"
This pirate Supernovas showed no fear, and with a wave of his hands, two enormous wind blades shot out.
Kamaitachi Raifu, Paramecia Chop-Chop Devil Fruit User, can unleash invisible wind blades that tear everything in their path apart!
However, this wind blade, comparable to a swordsman's Flying Slash, shattered instantly upon impact with Sanji.
"What?"
Raifu's expression finally changed.
"Too weak, pirate!"
Sanji's right leg Coating in a black substance, and his body spun in mid-air. As he spun at high speed, his right leg turned fiery red.
"Diable Jambe! Concassé!"
His long, slender right leg cleaved down with the force of a mountain splitting.
Raifu's expression changed, and he instantly withdrew and retreated.
Boom!
Sanji's right foot slammed into the ground.
The ground touched by that scorching right foot melted instantly, and then a terrifying force spread out, smashing the ground into a spiderweb of cracks, causing the entire earth to collapse.
Raifu's pupils contracted.
Such power!
What's wrong with this kid?
How old is he?
"That's really exaggerated, Sanji!"
A giant golem made of clay rushed past Sanji.
Grus, who was manipulating the clay puppet in the rear, sighed, "The Haki has completely taken the lead over us."
"Well enough."
Sanji smiled smugly.
His talent for exuding Haki presence is indeed better than that of the older brothers and sisters.
While everyone else had only recently Awakening their Armament Haki and were still in the Coating stage, he was already able to Hardening it.
He did indeed begin learning Haki before Smoker and the others, after all, his physique was much stronger Smoker theirs once he Awakening his Lineage Factor.
But he was only fourteen years old.
"Hehe, don't get too cocky, Sanji, you still have a long way to go!"
Binz flew over, stepping on a series of vines.
A large number of vines coalesced into a wooden dragon, roaring silently, before crashing down directly towards Raifu.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Raifu roared.
He had realized that these young marines, whom he had previously looked down upon, did indeed possess extraordinary and astonishing power.
This realization angered him.
He's Supernovas! One of the most outstanding new pirates of the year!
