People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

New world.

The sea breeze was howling, and on the turbulent blue sea, Sephiroth, wearing a blue floral shirt, white beach pants, and sunglasses on his face, was lying on his back on the deck of a speedboat made of a special alloy. Lounging and sunbathing.

Among the thousands of black bats spread out by Sephiroth, among the shared perceptions passed on, a black bat located in the northeast was suddenly turned into ashes by a white thunder falling from the sky.

"Huh!? I finally found you again... Valflud!"

With that said, Sephiroth picked up the two long knives beside him. He stood up from the deck, put on the two knives, and then pulled out the Dark Flame Knife.

The fiery red blade was unsheathed, emitting strands of scorching air waves, causing waves of distortion in the air.

Immediately afterwards, he inserted the Dark Flame Knife in his hand directly into the gear handbrake groove on the speedboat control panel and started to warm up the engine.

This speedboat is a boat tailor-made by Jim. It can reach a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour. It uses the flames generated by the Dark Flame Sword as its driving force. It is also equipped with flame shells and blowing wind shells as emergency power, allowing for emergency navigation. One hundred kilometers.

In the most unfavorable circumstances, it can also rely on the wind shell to slowly accumulate wind power to provide sailing power.

This speedboat has completely destroyed the water ships in the One Piece world. It was a product of the Umbrella Company after analyzing some of the spacecraft technology!

However, Sephiroth's original intention was actually to use the flame of the Dark Flame Sword as the driving force to create a spaceship.

However, due to technical limitations, this idea cannot be realized yet, so Jim can only create a phased product and tell his big boss Sephiroth:

Your little brother is already working very hard on research, but there are some things that cannot be done due to current technical conditions!

In this regard, Sephiroth did not criticize Jim's scientific research department. He himself also understood that due to issues such as materials, technology, and basic equipment, even if you know that something can be done, whether it can be done is still unclear. That's another story...

boom!

As he pressed the buttons on the console a few times, the flames of the Dark Flame Sword spurted out, causing the entire speedboat to go from extremely quiet to extremely moving, breaking through layers of waves. Amidst the howling wind, it headed towards Valflud left, and countless white waves were brought up behind the speedboat.

This feeling of driving a boat wildly on the sea makes Sephiroth a little bit unable to stop...

Although the efficiency of driving a speedboat to the target location is far less efficient than using a butcher knife to open the door and arrive instantly.

But people always have some interests and hobbies, right...?

Sometimes when he is not in a hurry, he doesn't mind using different methods to achieve his goals, so as to experience more different processes.

On the other side, Sephiroth's black bats scattered in all directions began to fly back towards him one after another, reintegrating into his body and returning the life energy that had not been consumed.

About half an hour later, Sephiroth arrived near the sea where the black bat was struck to death by lightning. He turned off the speedboat and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, thick black mist quickly rose from his body.

Under his control, the black mist flew directly into the sky, forming a large black cloud that covered the sky several kilometers in radius.

Rumble-!

Bloody thunder and lightning rolled in the dark clouds, like blood snakes, looking ferocious and terrifying.

Looking at it, one can’t help but feel awe and fear!

This black thunder cloud is a skill Sephiroth secretly learned from Kaido's technique of controlling wind and thunder, and imitated it based on his own black mist.

Over the years, he has been unremittingly developing and using the vampire fruit's abilities, and finally strengthened and upgraded his previous black mist abilities...

After the previous black mist ability was created, he could only cover and move roughly. He could neither perform micro-level manipulation nor turn the black mist into a bat again.

However......

As his strength became stronger, he became more and more able to control this ability, even reaching a meticulous level.

Now, the black cloud he created can not only carry out precise lightning strikes, but also make it form a blood rain from atomized liquid, and then control the blood rain to reconstruct a black bat!

Present the facts and reason.

For Sephiroth to expand the perception range of his hegemonic power to twenty kilometers, reaching a range comparable to the breath of ancient weapons and gods... This is really too embarrassing!

Although his vampire fruit has the effect of strengthening the color of sight and hearing, it can allow him to better perceive emotional changes and even simply read minds.

If you suck blood, you can also perform memory recall to extract the information you want.

but......

The Vampire Fruit does not greatly enhance the range of Hakimori's power, far less than Marigold's Thunder Fruit.

Sephiroth has been training hard for a year, and now he can only manage to turn his twelve-kilometer range into twelve-and-a-half kilometers, and his goal of twenty kilometers is still far away!

This made him clearly realize that with this stupid method, he would have to wait until the year of the monkey to obtain the breath of the gods hidden on the Valverod Island.

What's more, with this stupid method, whether it can even succeed is a question!

After all, Sephiroth doesn't know what the extreme range of his sight and color is...

Therefore, after thinking over and over again, he finally came up with a more stupid but potentially successful method... use your strength to create miracles!

Soon, the black thundercloud above Sephiroth's head spread to a radius of more than ten kilometers.

The breath of the gods, an ancient weapon hidden above Valverod, seems to have noticed something wrong with this unusual weather.

next moment.

The breath of the gods set off a strong wind within a radius of [-] kilometers in Valverod, completely blowing away the black thunderclouds in the sky and building a storm barrier to isolate the outside world. everything.

"Sure enough, even if there are no creatures approaching, will the abnormal climate trigger the breath defense mechanism of the gods?"

Immediately, Sephiroth's eyes were bright. He raised his head and looked up at the invisible storm barrier in the sky. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, revealing a wild smile:

"It's not over yet!

It's just the breath of the gods, let me see how capable you are! "

As he spoke, he pulled out the butcher knife from his waist and opened a spatial folding door in the void.

On the other side of the door, there were expressionless bat clones standing on the spot. They quickly split into black bats and began to merge into his body, while he continued to create black thunderclouds. , sent to the sky.

As time passed, layers of black clouds covered hundreds of miles, blocking out the sky and the sun. Dark red thunder snakes spread and scurried among the dark clouds, making it look like the end was coming.

However......

The storm barrier built by the breath of the gods, wrapped in layers of black clouds, still isolated a vacuum zone, preventing the black clouds from invading.

In the distance, on a large sailboat flying the blue cross five-star flag of the World Government, members of the CP organization raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

"This thundercloud is really weird!

We have been in this sea area for so many years, and this kind of celestial phenomenon has never appeared before...

Could it be that thing went berserk?

No, I have to report it as soon as possible. "

A little CP leader wearing a black suit and sunglasses looked at the layers of black clouds above his head. He frowned and was about to take out his phone to contact his superiors to report the situation.

However......

A large piece of red thunder suddenly appeared above the black clouds!

next moment.

Rumble-!

A red thunder pillar with a diameter of forty to fifty meters fell straight from the black clouds. In an instant, it bombarded the large sailing ship, smashing the entire large sailing ship into pieces, and the broken shipboards were even more shattered. It burned with blazing flames and finally sank into the sea.

Sephiroth did not hesitate to use mines on any World Government ship that sailed into the thundercloud range, and carried out devastating strikes to prevent them from transmitting the information he had here.

"almost!"

Sephiroth clenched the butcher knife with both hands and took a deep breath. The armed color and overlord color in his body quickly appeared on the surface, ready to go, and the black cloud above his head, with him as the center, began to Slowly rotating, a dark thundercloud vortex was formed, which continuously condensed and squeezed the surrounding black clouds, causing them to condense continuously and form a huge black blade...

Sephiroth's aura gradually increased until he reached the peak. After a long time, he raised his hands above his head, exerted all his strength, gathered on the butcher knife, and shouted angrily:

"Open it for me!"

Immediately, the butcher knife in his hand shot out a red beam of light that reached the sky, driving the black giant blade in the air and the black thunderclouds gathering around it.

Swish!

The moment Sephiroth swung down the butcher knife, a huge space crack suddenly opened in the sky, and the black giant blade followed the space crack, wrapping up all the black clouds above his head, with an indomitable momentum. , rushed in and appeared in the sky twelve kilometers away, heading straight towards Wavroud, which was about ten kilometers away!

It seems that he did not expect that the black cloud would break through the storm barrier in this form. The breath of the gods of ancient weapons in Valfrod also stopped for a while, dispersing the storm that blocked the outer layer.

next moment.

Dark clouds quickly gathered over the island, and gusts of wind quickly swirled around, creating a huge vortex of thunderclouds in the sky.

Boundless thunder, mixed with violent hurricanes, flew out from the island and slammed into a steady stream of oncoming black giant blades.

boom!

Two extremely terrifying forces were crushing each other, as if they wanted to completely destroy each other. Where the two sides collided, huge black crystals quickly fell from the air and hit the ground and the sea.

This is the breath of the gods using the power of freezing to directly freeze the black cloud created by Sephiroth into ice crystals!

However......

No matter how the gods blocked it, there was still a small part of black clouds rushing over the island.

Crash-!

On the outer beach of Wavroud Island, a strong wind hit first.

Immediately, a patter of red blood rained down from the black clouds in the sky and dripped onto the ground.

The blood rain seemed to have life, and quickly gathered together to form black bats.

Swish!

A crimson thin line cut through the void, and a space folding door quietly opened. Sephiroth, holding a butcher knife, stepped out, and his feet landed firmly on the beach of Valverod.

He looked up and found the black clouds in the sky. After briefly breaking through, they were quickly driven back to the sea twenty kilometers away by the rebuilt storm barrier.

"No matter what, I finally got in!"

Sephiroth shook his head and walked away.

The charged strike just now drained all of his overlord-colored energy. If he still couldn't break through the defense line, he would have no choice but to go home.

Even though he used the bat clone to continuously replenish energy, allowing himself to break through the limits and slash out that terrifying knife, his mental energy was also exhausted. After the slash, his whole spirit felt a little wilted... ..
