The Pirate: Throne of Bones

Shila-

On the deck of the Clover, Monet was surrounded by thunder.

"Ready to fight!"

After saying hello to his two best friends, Annie and Shandis, before the Clover could even approach the coast of the Kingdom of St. Clark, Monet's whole body turned into a thunder filled with dangerous aura.

[There is no need to exist in a country that makes dad sad~]

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Monet, who transformed into thunder, fell from the sky, and in an extremely violent manner, he forcefully "opened up" a safe landing area for the subsequent inspection team.

Then, Monet turned into thunder again and headed towards the territory of the Kingdom of St. Clark.

Wherever Monet's thunder passed, it was scorched earth!

Just when Monet's thunder fruit power was fully activated, and everyone in the first inspection team invaded the Kingdom of St. Clark, Annie and Shandis, two of Monet's best friends, were not slow in their actions.

Annie stepped on the moon steps into the sky and activated her devil fruit ability in the air.

Barrier·Slide!

Barrier·Air Brick!

Although the invisible foothold formed by the barrier fruit ability cannot make Annie as flexible in the air as Monet, some simple aerial battles and chasing Monet's figure are enough.

Shandris is much simpler.

slap~

Shandris raised her hand and snapped her fingers, instantly transforming into a succubus form.

Pink light surged, and a pair of small and exquisite wings, like bat wings, appeared behind Shandis.

With her wings fluttering, Shandis quickly caught up with Monet's figure from the air.

the other side.

On the other eleven armored ships of the Inspectorate, the Inspector, watching the noise coming from the Clover, the members of the Inspectorate were speechless and didn't know what to say.

Even though Monet, Anne and Shandis could land in the Kingdom of St. Clark first to fight, in fact, the fleet of the Inspectorate was still at least one nautical mile away from the island where the Kingdom of St. Clark was located.

This…

It’s so embarrassing!

Is it amazing to be able to fly?

Regarding the fact that Monet brought Annie and Shandis to join the battle in advance, the ordinary members of the Inspectorate were fine, but Dauberman, Ghost Spider and Stoloberg were at the same level as Monet in the Inspectorate. Personally, it hurts.

Moon step?

Everyone knows this.

But the distance from the fleet of the Inspectorate to the island where the Kingdom of St. Clark is located, if you use the moonwalk to travel the entire distance, it will consume a lot of physical strength.

However, Monet, who was at the same level as Dauberman, Ghost Spider and Stoloberg, had already entered the battle in advance. If these three people still followed the speed of the warship, it would be a bit embarrassing after all.

Therefore, for the first battle of the Inspectorate and for their own majesty within the Inspectorate, Dauberman, Ghost Spider and Stoloberg jumped up from their respective warships at the same time and advanced from the air on moon steps. Joined the battlefield of St. Clark Kingdom.

"Hey! Smoker!"

"Tina is very curious~"

"Your devil fruit power should also give you the ability to fly, right?"

"Why don't you go with Major General Dauberman?"

Smoker, who was assigned to Dauberman's staff together with Tina, took two deep puffs of the cigar in his mouth and said nothing after hearing Tina's question next to him.

Smoker also wanted to follow and join the battle in the Kingdom of St. Clark in advance.

but…

Concubines can't do it!

The ability to use the natural smoke fruit?

Feel sorry!

Fruit development is insufficient.

Learn how to walk past the veteran Dao Berman of your own team?

Don't make trouble!

Smoker's current physical strength is simply not enough.

Even Smoker could rely on the ability of the Smoke Fruit and mix the Moon Steps among the six moves to enter the battlefield of St. Clark Kingdom in advance.

But in this case, after Smoker enters the battlefield of the Kingdom of Saint Clark, he will not have any extra energy to catch those pirates who do all kinds of evil.

Therefore, facing Tina's curiosity, Smoker could not say anything except smoking a cigar with a dark face.

【Physical strength...】

Looking at the island where the Kingdom of Saint Clark is located, Smoker sighed helplessly in his heart.

Once upon a time, Smoker, who obtained the Natural Smoke Fruit, always believed that he would be the future of the navy and that he would personally start an era without pirates.

Young people have dreams and drive.

Until Smoker met Monet in the Navy's elite training camp.

That year, Monet was 13 years old and Smoker was 19 years old.

Unfortunately, the six-year age difference cannot bring any advantage to Smoker at all.

As the strongest player in that elite training camp, the high-spirited Smoker completely ignored the challenge of transfer student Monet.

And then…

Smoker's mentality almost collapsed.

Devil fruit abilities, physical skills, and swordsmanship prowess.

It is also a natural Devil Fruit. The Smoke Fruit is powerless against the Thunder Fruit.

Physique?

Monet, who has been taught by Zefa since he was five years old, cannot compare to Smoker, the "strongest man" in the elite training camp, in terms of physical skills.

As for swordsmanship…

Forget it, let’s talk about Devil Fruit abilities.

What's even more terrible is that while Smoker is still working hard on how to master the armed color Haki and the knowledge color Haki, Monet can already skillfully use the two-color Haki in actual combat.

He joined the Navy Elite Training Camp that year and graduated from the Navy Elite Training Camp ahead of schedule.

It can be said that Smoker was not the only one who was crushed by Monet.

It's just that Smoker, as the strongest person in that elite training camp, was crushed a bit harshly by Monet.

Fortunately, when Smoker's mentality was about to collapse, Zefa discovered the abnormality of Smoker.

A long conversation also allowed Smoker to get out of the corner of "Am I just an ordinary person?"

After learning about Monet's background and the level of education he received since he was a child, Smoker came to his senses.

Moreover, when Smoker readjusted his mentality and had a target to chase, Smoker became more powerful than at the same time in the OP plot.

"Tina, we have to practice harder."

Smoker, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Tina beside him.

"That guy Monet..."

Breathing out a long puff of white smoke, Smoker, who was only 23 years old, said with a hint of vicissitudes of life in his tone, "We can't even see our backs anymore."

Beside Smoker, Tina, who was holding a lady's cigarette, nodded seriously after listening to Smoker's words, "Tina thinks you are right."

Like Smoker and a contemporary of Smoker, Tina was also one of the people who was crushed by Monet in the Navy's elite training camp.

But as girls, Tina and Monet's relationship is still very good.

Even if they are not good friends, it is still okay to go out for a meal or go shopping together when everyone has nothing to do.

Moreover, in terms of Tina's character, although she was crushed miserably by Monet in the Navy's elite training camp, Tina successfully gave up the idea of ​​competing with Monet.

Everyone is a navy, so if you can't compare, you can't compare.

But now that I heard Smoker’s words...

"Tina will work hard with Smoker!"
