Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

"Who do you think will win between the two of them?"

"This...it's hard to say!"

"If we just talk about swordsmanship, that guy can compete with our leader."

"...No matter how good your swordsmanship is, the boss will still be the one who gets beaten~"

"Hey, boss, you're obviously leaving it to her, okay?"

"Tsk, tsk, that's called love, that's called love! Do you singles understand this?"

The red-haired crew members stood in a row on the shore, commenting on the two men confronting each other with knives on the sea.

How heated was the discussion?

Beckman almost suppressed Jesus' enthusiasm to set up a bet.

Fortunately, he suppressed it, otherwise...

"Your crew are all good guys, Shanks!"

With a smile on his face, Lei Li unscrewed the lid of the hip flask he carried with him and took a sip. There was a bold air in his words and deeds.

Next to him, the red-haired man wearing a black cloak and holding the handle of the knife with one hand also smiled heartily when he heard this: "Mr. Reilly, they are all my companions who have been with me through life and death."

Recalling all the past events, Shanks' hearty smile became a little softer.

Rayleigh slowly put away his smile and screwed on the lid of the wine bottle while squinting his eyes. The complex emotions that flashed through him in a moment were so fast that it was difficult to see clearly: "Really? It seems that you are also on this sea. He has made a lot of achievements!"

As if sighing, he put the wine bottle away. Rayleigh suddenly put one hand on the big knife at his waist. Under his dark eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised again: "Maybe we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know that you are like this." What a level the boy has reached!”

The murderous intent beside him didn't seem fake. Shanks subconsciously tensed his muscles and felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.

He looked at Mr. Reilly beside him in shock.

Before he could see the expression on the opponent's face clearly, the former respected vice-captain suddenly smiled and shouted in the direction of the sea: "Yaya, help us create a place where we can compete."

Shanks was dumbfounded: Huh? ah? Wait a minute, Mr. Reilly...

Shanks, who didn't understand why watching other people's competitions could involve him, had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

What made him even more confused was what happened to the murderous intention that just came from Mr. Reilly? ? ?

Everyone, including Beckman and Marco, silently moved away from the two of them.

Beckman let go of the Jesus cloth that he was holding down, and lit a cigarette for himself: Tsk, forget it, these people can make trouble as much as they want!

Marco scratched the back of his head, and while he was waxing for Shanks who didn't understand the situation, he couldn't help but cursed: I can't see that Rayleigh is so jealous even though he is so old.

As the ship's mates, Beckman and Marco thought of Yaya's trust in Rayleigh in unison, and couldn't help but start thinking: Gee, it's really difficult to grab the treasure from such a guy... …

Looking at each other in tacit understanding, the two of them looked away at the same time, and their eyes once again fell on the idiot who was invited to fight.

Thinking of how Zheniya was always close to them but not enough...

Raising eyebrows*2: Do you want to try cooperation?

Zheniya, who still didn't know what the officers were thinking, was holding the flying feather in her hand at the moment, looking at Hawkeye with a serious expression.

The sea breeze blew by, blowing up Yaya's skirt and the man's long black windbreaker.

There was a chill in the anxious atmosphere.

Gudong swallowed, and Zheniya thought with a blank look on her face: Are you sure this guy just wants to compete with her? Instead of having a grudge?

Otherwise, what's going on with this tense and serious atmosphere?

Speaking of which, the serious look of the guy in front of me was terrifying.

What should I do if she suddenly regrets agreeing to the other party's competition?

Just in time, Reilly's shout broke the atmosphere.

Yaya quickly looked away from Hawkeye and turned her head to look in the direction of the shore. She actually had the illusion of being 'saved'.

But Reilly asked her to carve out a place for the competition.

Yaya blinked and glanced down at the ice beneath her feet.

She used her ability to change the state of the water in the sea below her feet, forming a large area of ​​ice.

Different from the freezing effect of frozen fruits, the scientific explanation is that Yaya changes the movement state of water molecules microscopically, fixing them in a certain position to form a lattice structure, thereby freezing seawater into ice.

It is not difficult for her now to freeze the sea.

Since it was Rayleigh's request...

Yaya waved her little hand without thinking.

As a result, the sea surface that was thousands of meters away from the ice beneath her feet spread outward from a certain point and quickly formed a large circular ice platform.

After finishing, Yaya shouted to the room on the shore: "It's done."

The newly formed ice surface was not far from the coast. Rayleigh chuckled when he saw it, turned to Shanks and said, "Let's go, kid."

Then, without waiting for Shanks to say anything, he turned around and disappeared.

Shanks:......

What else can be done? Since Mr. Reilly said that he wanted to test the results of his many years of experience, he... naturally had no reason to refuse.

When Shanks left, the shore completely exploded.

Jesus Bu even raised his arms excitedly and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, place your bets~ On one side are Zenia and Hawkeye, on the other side are the boss and Rayleigh, let's bet who can win?" "

The red group has always been indifferent to others. Now they heard the words and immediately surrounded Jesus.

In the eyes of all the islanders who couldn't say anything, the red group started the gambling game vigorously.

Marco held his waist with one hand and looked leisurely at Yaya and Hawkeye, who were already fighting on the sea. He suddenly smiled and said, "Don't care?"

Beckman bit the cigarette butt, and while the smoke was rising, he asked expressionlessly: "Can you make Whitebeard quit drinking?"

Marco's mouth twitched: ...Hey, hey, this is heartbreaking, right?

Beckman snorted coldly: You know you can't control it, but you still ask?

The first officers fell silent.

Even if there is no real competition between the masters, it is enough to cause the collapse of the earth.

This is why Yaya chose to compete with Hawkeye on the sea.

The small island where Cocosia Village is located is not big enough for them to cause harm.

He then bent down to avoid the horizontal slash, and the tip of Feiyu's knife was thrust back into the ice to stabilize his body.

In fact, Yaya is not proficient in swordsmanship, just like her forgotten past.

But Yaya's imitation ability is very strong. Otherwise, how could she have told Zefa so brazenly that she was a genius?

In his mind, he recalled the angle of Hawkeye's attack and the force of the sound of the wind.

A flash of light flashed in her beautiful red eyes. The woman raised the corners of her mouth, straightened up, and looked at Hawkeye again with a confident smile on her face.

"Hey, Hawkeye!" A soft voice sounded with a hint of boldness.

Mihawk's hand holding the knife paused, and his eagle eyes looked straight at Zenia.

Zenia actually slowly assumed Mihawk's posture when he drew the sword.

A flash of surprise flashed in Mihawk's eyes, followed by excitement.

This woman...

Sure enough, it is the same as what I observed...

He is a rare genius in martial arts.

He had no doubt that, given time, this woman would become a swordsman surpassing him.

No! wrong!

Mihawk narrowed his eyes slightly.

If other abilities were included, this woman might have surpassed herself long ago.

But in the face of a powerful enemy, Mihawk not only did not retreat at all, but also had a strong fighting spirit in his heart.

Only strong opponents are worth challenging.

Only by fighting against the strong can one break through.

A rare smile appeared on Mihawk's lips.

"Then let me see your true strength! Zenia!"
