Pirate Death Arrives.

bang——

As fists collided, terrifying air waves burst out in all directions with the two of them as the center.

Cracks also appeared on the ice underfoot.

Especially the area directly below the two people.

An obvious pit appeared directly.

Even List was forced to retreat a distance.

A strong wind blew past.

look again.

Despite Uranus's nearly 80% strength, Ashley did not move at all, and even his expression did not change.

On the contrary, Uranus's right hand trembled noticeably.

Even the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A little pain!

“Huh, is this the power of Armament Haki? It’s really amazing!”

Uranus withdrew his right hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh, indicating that he was completely convinced.

He had fought with Ashley before.

If the other party does not use his Observation Haki, the odds between the two can be said to be evenly matched.

One is fast, the other has strong attack power.

No one can do anything to anyone.

But now, when fighting, Uranus clearly felt the pressure.

His punch was like hitting an extremely hard diamond, it had absolutely no effect at all.

It was not until this moment that his desire for armament color became more urgent.

"Let me try it too!"

Just as Ashley was about to withdraw his hand, a strong wind blew from the side. He narrowed his eyes and raised his fist to block it almost subconsciously.

And the person who attacked was none other than Lister.

He also wanted to test the strength of Ashley's armed color.

bang——

What followed was a high-intensity confrontation.

The two sides went back and forth, fighting fiercely.

Unlike Uranus's test, List was obviously serious.

The fight between the two did not end immediately, but instead became more and more intense.

Even Uranus, who was standing nearby, was affected and had to retreat to a further outside.

that's it.

Five minutes passed.

The fight between the two men slowly came to a halt.

bang——

After another round of fistfighting, the two men separated completely, one on the left and one on the right, standing on both sides.

Ashley waved his hands, and the hardened layer of armament color instantly receded.

Rist looked at the other person in surprise.

"You are so skilled and strong, Ashley, are you sure you just learned how to use Armament Haki?"

Ashley shrugged, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Lister's expression became more and more weird.

"Death God Luo Di is truly incredible. He has allowed you to master such power in such a short time. By the way..."

As he spoke, he looked Ashley up and down carefully, and then continued.

"It should take something to pay, right?"

The reason why List asked this is because he knows very well that there is nothing free in this world.

Hearing this, Ashley sighed helplessly but did not deny it.

"You can tell from my expression that obtaining this power does require some price, but it's not a problem."

To be honest, apart from the pain, he couldn't find anything bad to say.

The smoothness with which the Armament Haki operates seems to be innate.

There is no sense of obstruction.

Moreover, if Luo Di had not lied to him, the so-called "aftereffects" would only last for a month.

After that, all the pain will be gone.

Spending a month in exchange for a perfect armament color, no matter how you look at it, this deal is a very cost-effective one!

Anyone would probably feel the same way.

After all, powerful strength is the foundation for gaining a foothold in this world.

Let me give you the best example.

When faced with pirates, ordinary civilians on the sea can only be slaughtered.

Resistance will only exacerbate death.

This is the tragedy of the weak.

If these people at the bottom of society are given a chance, even if the pain they endure is ten or a hundred times more horrible than what Ashley has endured, they will try their best to seize it.

"It seems that my guess was correct!"

After hearing Ashley's words, Lister showed an expression of 'as expected'.

At this time, Uranus came over again.

He hung the deformed double axes around his waist again, rubbed his hands, and looked at Ashley with anticipation.

"Ahem, um, um, Ashley, do you think I can join the Death Pirates like you?"

How could he not understand at this moment that Ashley had joined the Death Pirates?

Since the other party has made this choice, there is nothing for him to hesitate about.

What's more, after seeing Ashley's changes, Uranus was also very eager and yearning for it.

Ashley nodded without any hesitation.

"No problem. With your strength, you can join the Death Pirates directly without any test. Then, you will be able to successfully master the Armament Haki like me!"

"Moreover, the Death God Pirates offer a total of three 'benefits'. First, a special training method that can improve a person's overall strength and physical fitness at a very fast speed. Second, you also saw that I just mastered the Armament Haki. Third, you may not have heard it just now..."

At this point, his voice was noticeably lowered.

"The Death God Pirates have a method of training their Observation Haki. In other words, as long as you go through the Death God Pirates, even an ordinary person can eventually grow into a strong man who can stand on his own!"

The change in his identity made his words sound bewitching.

To put it bluntly, it's sales promotion.

He had resisted the Death Pirates so much before, but now, after getting tangible benefits, Ashley can only say, it’s damn good!

There’s a saying…

Yes, by the way, it’s nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

Thinking about the first half of his life, he was always a lone ranger and had a very difficult life.

Although he had gained some fame on the sea, it was not enough and was far from the goal he was pursuing.

However, a person's strength will eventually reach a bottleneck.

The higher you go, the harder it is to improve.

Especially a lone ranger like him.

This directly became a shackle that bound him and was difficult to break free of!

until……

He met Luo Di.

The other party gave him what he wanted.

At this moment, he finally realized the benefits of having someone leading the way.

Don't be too cool.

The sense of gap created by the comparison between before and after made Ashley quickly adapt to the change of identity.

You can even say that he is skilled.

He was working hard to promote the benefits of joining the Death Pirates.

The purpose, of course, is to bring Uranus and Lystra to his own camp.

If you think about it carefully, the Death Pirates only have a few affiliated pirate groups.

Like the Big City Pirates led by Audrey.

The World Pirates led by World.

Sky Island Guard.

God's Guard.

Red Fox Pirates.
