The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 37
The battle between Bit and the Golden Lion continues.The two basically mean that you cut me with a knife, and I chop you with a knife.

Of course, they both defended against each other's attacks.

But Bit is really at a disadvantage right now.It's not because the golden lion has one more knife than him, or because he needs to protect Esbagu.The current Bit is indeed a bit worse than the Golden Lion.

"It's been a long time since I had such an enjoyable fight with someone!" When the two jumped away again, Golden Lion said excitedly.

"You are indeed a very good swordsman, but that's all."

"Lion prestige? Ground roll!" The ground on both sides of the golden lion was directly pulled up, rolling into the shape of two lions.

Immediately afterwards, two groups of lions made of land rushed towards Bit with thick smoke and dust. Bit firmly grasped the hilt of his sword and swung a half-moon-shaped slash to disperse the two groups of lions.

Immediately afterwards, Bit quickly crossed his sword, blocking the golden lion that had already rushed in front of his eyes.

One came prepared, and the other fought hastily. Although Bit was not injured, he was forced back by the sword of the golden lion.

At this moment, Espagu was exposed to the golden lion.Fortunately, Bit reacted quickly. As soon as he stabilized his body, he grabbed it again, and after a burst of offensive and defenseless hacking, he snatched back Esbagu.

"Stop!" Just when the two were about to start fighting again, a rough voice came from the direction of the capital of seven waters.

A tall and fat murloc walked over.It looks like a murloc with horns. "Golden Lion, I am the person you are looking for in the capital of seven waters this time."

"Oh?" The golden lion tilted his head and opened one eye with all his strength, while his other eye narrowed into a slit.

"Are you Tom the Murloc, the second best shipbuilder on the island?" Golden Lion didn't quite believe it.This fat murloc would make an excellent shipwright.

"That's right. I am." Tom said with certainty. "As long as you release Carrera, I am willing to build a ship for you!"

"Sounds like a very good choice." Golden Lion said while touching his chin. "But why don't I use the best boatman in the capital of seven waters, and use you, the second best?"

"Because I am a murloc and he is a human being, my strength is dozens of times that of his, and my work efficiency is hundreds of times that of his!" Tom said.

"That's it, then the deal!"

The golden lion rushed to Tom, but was intercepted by Bit again. "Tom takes your word for it, but I don't. Wouldn't it be better to have Number One and Number Two building the boat at the same time!"

"Hahahahaha!" The golden lion laughed wildly. "A pure swordsman must have a pure heart! I never look down on the second!"

While speaking, the ground under Espagu's feet swelled, forming the shape of a lion, supporting Espagu to fly behind the golden lion.

Bit's eyes sharpened, and he swung his sword and was about to charge forward.But this time it was the golden lion's turn to intercept Bit.

Bit was completely unable to break through the golden lion's interception, and could only watch Espagu fly farther and farther.

However, at this time, a huge stick fell from the sky and scattered the clay lions under Espagu's feet. "What's up, Bit?"

Ah Jin's voice came from not far away, and he also came back.

"It's just right here, Ajin." Bit looked at the golden lion and grinned with his teeth bared. "Protect that child and that uncle murloc."

"Hey, is your companion here?" The golden lion glanced at the monkey coming here, "It seems that we have to work harder!"

During the speech, the Golden Lion's attack became more and more fierce, and Bit's coping became more and more reluctant.

Suddenly the ground beneath Beetle's feet trembled.Bit suddenly lost his focus.Bit was lured by the golden lion to the place where the golden lion had just stepped.

With a grinning grin, the golden lion swung its two swords and slashed at Bit, who was temporarily unable to resist.Now it was too late for Bit to return the sword, so he had to mobilize his armed domineering to protect himself, trying to resist these two slashing blows.

The golden lion's slash still didn't come off.Because in this short moment, several gunshots sounded in the distance.

The golden lion returned his sword to block the incoming bullets.Bit also took advantage of this gap to adjust his center of gravity and set up his posture from the beginning.

"Your companions are not bad, do you want to join my flying pirates?" Golden Lion now thinks this pirates are interesting.

"Sorry, we are not interested in your pirate group." Three people walked slowly not far away.It was the leading young man wearing a straw hat who spoke.

"That's really a pity." The golden lion looked regretful.He looked up at the sky.Well, it's almost time for dinner.

"That's the end of today." The golden lion said with an unsatisfactory expression. "But I'll be back." He smiled and looked around the crowd, then flew into the air and flew into the distance.

Bit stared at the golden lion flying into the distance, and shook his head regretfully. "Still inexperienced!"

"What's going on, Bit?" Roger walked up to Bit and asked.

"That man is the Golden Lion. For some unknown reason, he came to this island to hunt down the shipbuilders."

"The child's father, Carrera, is the most famous shipbuilder on the island. He was also captured by the golden lion."

"So... that child is..." Ajin said, looking at Esbagu who was still unable to stand up with scars all over his body.

"He came to the Golden Lion to ask for his father, a young boy with a lot of backbone." Bit looked at Esbagu and explained to Ajin.

"By the way, Captain, I promised to help him rescue his father."

"Ah, it's okay. Anyway, I don't like that lion-like guy." Roger carried the money box and walked towards their dilapidated pirate ship.

"Get on the boat. We will set off when Nusi and the others come back."

"Do you know where the golden lion is?" Bit asked, looking at Rayleigh.

"We met a lot of pirates messing around in the city along the way, and they were all asking about the whereabouts of the shipbuilder." Raleigh explained to Bit why Roger was so angry with the Golden Lion.

"We also asked them where they were going."

"Wait a minute!" Tom suddenly called out to Roger's group who were walking towards the ship.

Everyone stopped and turned to look at Tom who stopped them.

"Your ship is too dilapidated to go to sea tonight. Akula Ragnar, the god of water, will attack the capital of seven waters tonight." Tom's voice was full of arrogance.

"If you don't mind, please wait a little longer. I will build you a ship, a ship that can withstand any wind and wave in the world!"

After listening to Tom's words, Roger turned his head and looked at Espagu.

Espagu noticed Roger's gaze, bared his teeth while resisting the pain, and showed a smile in front of him.It hurts his heart to move even a little bit now.

After getting Espagu's response, Roger turned to look at Tom. "Then please, uncle murloc."
