One Piece: Three Ultimate Standings

Colonel Gladio looked at Peeta standing on the bow of the ship, with a look of interest flashing in his eyes. He had been stationed here for a long time, and there were basically no pirates. He was only responsible for public security, or catching some petty thieves. This guy, for him, is really boring and can't be bored anymore.

I heard a report today that a pirate ship was discovered on the sea. When I thought I could finally have some fun, I didn't expect to encounter some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. They were so frightened by some cannonballs that they dared not move.

Just when he was very disappointed with the strength of the pirates he was about to kill later, Peeta appeared and knocked down the first wave of shells as soon as he appeared. Although it was a test attack, there was no denying his strength, and he looked very powerful. His youthful appearance, a young pirate swordsman, ignited his desire to fight.

"Everyone is on standby, I can handle it by myself." Colonel Gladio said to the sailors behind him, and then he jumped up and arrived on the pirate ship, frightening the pirates who could still move on the ship. The weapon could not be held firmly and kept shaking.

Gladio glanced at these pirates with disdain. He had such courage to dare to be a pirate, but then again, isn't that what these pirate scum are like? They tremble in front of the strong and are unstoppable in their brutality in front of the weak.

Ignoring these pirate scum, Gladio turned his attention to Peeta who had been staring at him. Looking at his guarded expression, Gladio smiled indifferently and said: "You are He must be the captain of this group of pirates."

"That's right," Peeta replied.

"Among you group of pirates, you are the only captain that I am impressed by. I just saw that your strength is not bad. I wonder if you can let me enjoy it for a while." After saying this, Gladio took a majestic step. He walked towards Bita with fast steps. Along the way, several pirates who mustered up the courage to stop his progress were easily killed by him, which made Bita's eyes bristle.

"It's really not the right time to come here. It's only been a few days since I found the swordsmanship teacher. Is he going to die?" Tucker, who was hiding in the corner in the distance, whispered to himself.

Tucker is not worried about whether he is in danger yet. After all, he is still a six or seven-year-old child. Moreover, he has not joined this pirate group, so he is not a pirate. He is just learning swordsmanship. Even if he wants to No matter how bad he is, the Navy will not kill him for the time being.

At the same time, on the deck, Pita finally got into a fight with Gladio, but the gap between the two was really too big. One was experienced in many battles, and the other was just starting out. Soon, Pita fell into a disadvantage. , had to resist hard.

Seeing this, Tucker knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise his teacher would lose his teaching. He scratched his head, thinking about how to save Bita.

Finally, he thought of a risky way, which was to detonate the cannonballs on the ship, sink the ship, and then take advantage of the chaos to rescue Bita and run away in a small boat.

乒

Gladio picked the right moment, flicked the blade, and Pita's knife was directly knocked away, and then Gladio's knife was pressed against his neck.

"Do you have any other will?" Gladio asked.

"Save the Captain"

There was a loud roar, accompanied by bang-bang gunshots, and countless bullets poured towards Gladio.

It turned out that the pirates discovered that the captain had been defeated, so they all took out their muskets and pointed them at Gladio and started shooting wildly.

Gladio snorted coldly and shouted: "Iron block."

The bullet hit his navy uniform, only the clothes were damaged, but he was not injured at all. The surprised pirates stopped shooting, muttering words such as "impossible" and "monster", feeling completely lost. The last bit of fighting spirit.

Just when Gladio wanted to kill them first, something unexpected happened. The entire pirate ship exploded and began to sink. The hull tilted, and everyone on board began to slowly slide into the sea.

Seeing that something was wrong, Gladio returned to the warship in time and asked the sailors on standby: "What's going on?"

The sailors shook their heads and said they didn't know either.

On the boat, Bita, who was still in a dazed state, was driven by inertia and almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was able to avoid it. However, at this time, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Teacher, this way"

Bita took a look and saw Tucker waving his hands and calling to him in a low voice on a small boat. Without thinking too much, Bita jumped onto the boat.

"Where are Karl and the others?" Bita asked anxiously.

"Sorry." Tucker lowered his head, his meaning self-evident.

"No, I'm going to save them." Peeta said as he prepared to leave the boat.

"Teacher" but Tucker stopped him: "It won't help if you go. It's a blessing to be able to rescue you from the situation just now. If you go back again, not only Karl and the others, but also you and me will be affected." die."

Looking at Tucker's serious face, Bita fell silent.

Tucker continued: "If we hesitate any longer, we will lose the chance to escape, and Karl and the others will also hope that you can survive."

It seemed that it touched Bita's weakness. He gritted his teeth and shed two hot tears. Bita finally nodded.

Just as the navy's attention was focused on the pirate ship that was gradually sinking, no one knew that a small boat was quietly leaving from it, and by the time the navy discovered it, they could no longer catch up.

Three days later, on an unknown island in the South China Sea.

After escaping from the navy, Tucker and the two returned to this isolated island again. It happened to be that they escaped too hastily and had almost no preparation. They didn't bring a compass, a map, or food or water.

While the two were wandering on the sea for a day, the sky gradually became gloomy, and a storm greeted them. It was precisely because of this storm that they were lucky enough to return here.

Looking at the traces left on the island with his companions a few days ago, Bita finally couldn't help crying.

Tucker watched quietly from the side, silently, and felt a little sad in his heart, but he quickly put an end to it.

Finally, Bita stopped crying. He wiped his tears and stood up. There was a hint of determination in his eyes. He looked much more mature. It seemed that the battle was not fruitless. This would make He became stronger and went further.

"Teacher." Tucker tried to call softly.

Bita turned around and faced Tucker. He seemed to be no longer sad, but tears still welled up uncontrollably in his eyes, and he said in a choked tone: "Next, I will practice on this island, of course. I will also continue to teach you swordsmanship."

Tucker smiled and said: "Then, let's become stronger together, teacher."

So, Tucker and the two started their special training. The place where they lived was naturally Tucker's old home. Thanks to the powerful thug Bita, they were able to be unscrupulous on this island with very low force value.

After training the basics of swordsmanship for more than ten days, Tucker began his first actual combat application. The opponent was naturally the most powerful tiger in the forest. Knowing yourself and the enemy can defeat you in a hundred battles. Therefore, Tucker naturally knew the tiger's lair.

"Roar"

At this time, two tigers jumped out in front of Tucker, biting him with wide open mouths.

Tucker unsheathed his sword, which was lent to him by Bita. He got close to a tiger and swung the sword down. Thick blood spattered all over Tucker's upper body.

The other tiger reacted, braked suddenly, turned around and attacked Tucker, but Tucker blocked it with his sword. He used his strength to kick the tiger down in the air, and cut off the tiger's head with a knife.

After adjusting his clothes, Tucker stopped and took a vigilant posture, because a looming shadow appeared in front of him. As soon as he appeared, he took a closer look and saw that they were five tigers. One tiger was slightly in front. From this, it can be seen that, This tiger is the leader.

The tiger was two meters high and five meters long. Its slightly raised back showed that it was also on guard against each other like Tucker.

The constant growling makes it look very angry.

And it is Tucker's goal for this trip, and it is also Teacher Hu who has been so friendly to him in the past three years that he really wants to get rid of him quickly.

"Roar"

With this roar, the tiger seemed to have given an order, and the four tigers behind it rushed up in tacit agreement. Just a short moment after they rushed forward, one tiger fell to the ground, lifeless, leaving only the huge tiger behind. A hole in the head.

As soon as his footsteps moved, a tiger claw with sharp nails slapped on the ground. Tucker's eyes narrowed, and the tiger claw was cut off with the tiger's roar. There was no chance to make a last strike, because the remaining two tigers had already pounced. Coming up, Tucker quickly retreated.

The two tigers did not pursue, but stayed beside the injured tiger. The two tigers retreated with the injured tiger, and the leading tiger pounced on Tucker.

Tucker retreated silently and ran backwards.

When the tiger saw this, he became very angry. The person who hit me wanted to run away.

However, Tucker didn't seem to intend to just run away. The goal of his trip was the leading tiger. When he turned a corner, Tucker suddenly walked around a big tree. The leading tiger behind him, who was not in a hurry to avoid it, immediately braked suddenly. Unfortunately, It was still too late. The huge impact made his head confused and swaying. At this time, Tucker could easily kill it.

"Roar, roar."

When the two tigers in the distance saw that the leading tiger was in danger, they temporarily gave up on the injured tiger and roared and rushed over quickly. However, Tucker had no intention of killing the leading tiger now. He wanted to save the most powerful one for last. .

And how could those two tigers be Tucker's opponents? They were completely willing to die and were directly killed by Tucker at close range.

The leading tiger finally woke up. He saw two of his men being killed by Tucker in front of his eyes. He was furious and wanted to use his tiger tail to slap Tucker on the back, but was caught by Tucker with one hand.

The tiger finally realized that it could no longer defeat Tucker. He wanted to run away, but the men who died in front of him and his own pride prevented him from moving anyway. He couldn't accept being beaten away by his defeated men for many years.

But Tucker didn't care about this. He turned around to face the tiger, released the tiger's tail, held the knife, and gestured to the tiger, asking the tiger to attack and fight him.

The tiger seemed to understand this, roared, emboldened himself, and pounced on him, but this could not even make Tucker increase his strength. He felt that the current tiger was too weak for him, or in other words, It's because he became too strong.

With one swing of the knife, Tucker's tiger, who was both his teacher and enemy, died. With a flick of the blood on the knife, Tucker walked towards the injured tiger step by step, and the tiger seemed to be very frightened, wailing in panic, and backed away. However, its broken tiger claw was always affecting it, and it was limping and stumbling when it retreated.

As Tucker approached, he raised the knife and then swung it down. Tiger felt pain in his body for a moment, and then fell into darkness.
