You Guys Can Argue, I'm Leaving

"Well? Anyone else dares come here now?" Apophis, who had just finished mourning for Buffett, looked out the door and spotted a large group of pirates running towards the area, "This outfit, is it from the Kano Country?"

"Is that guy ... the Apophis? What horrible eyes, such eyes, could he be human?" Kanojao, who was walking at the front, met Apophis's gaze head-on, and the scarlet, bloodshot gaze looked a little hairy in his heart, but the air was still not down, and said, "You're Ah ... me damn, what the hell?"

Seemingly stepping on some circular sphere, Kanojao stumbled and nearly fell, shocking the men hoping for an intense conversation.

"Damn, the mind was so tense that I didn't even notice what was under my feet!" Kanojao hated secretly in his heart, he intended to lay down the momentum, and now he was only afraid of making a fool of himself. His eyes were not focused feverishly towards the culprit, who caused him to lose face.

"Wait ... this is a head? It's Broken Skull Buffett's head!" Seeing the head of Buffett, with whom he had negotiated a deal only some time ago, roll down at his feet, Pepper couldn't help but suck in cold air, always feeling that Buffett's eyes were watching him.

It seemed to be grumbling about why he was so late, or cursing, waiting for him to go to hell with him.

Lupine, on the other hand, thought better of it, "Although the hall collapsed into a corner, there aren't many signs of battle, and Apophis isn't covered in dust, which means the battle was probably over in a flash!"

There was some discouragement in Lupine's heart, "Broken Skull Buffet's strength wasn't weak, but the opponent defeated him with an overwhelming advantage, showing that Apophis' strength might be even more frightening than the rumors! And although Don Kanojao is strong, he is far too inferior in terms of combat experience, and the risk of a life-or-death battle changes too much, so it's better to advise him to dispel that impractical idea."

"The bottom line is that Buffett, who invited us to help in the war, is dead, and it would be foolish to bother with it at this point."

With a little thought, Lupine had made a decision.

"Sir Apophis, we have no intention of intruding, we will be leaving soon, just pretend that nothing has happened!"

"Lupine! I'm the chief, who are you to make decisions in my place?" Kanojao questioned angrily.

Although the wariness in his heart receded, to leave like this, Kanojao was reluctant. If he went back like this, he could no longer escape the shadow brought by his father.

Coupled with the fact that Lupine had decided for him, he made Kanojao even angrier and finally stopped hesitating to make his choice.

"Don Kanojao, please be sensible, Buffett is dead, do you want to provoke a powerful enemy to the Happo Navy because of a dead man?" Lupine reprimanded rather harshly.

"It's my business, no need for you to interfere, at worst I'll fight in my name, if I leave with my tail between my legs without saying a word, what face do I have to be the leader, the thirteenth generation pillar of the Happo Navy will not be a coward!"

"Chiefs, I don't mean to interrupt your talk, but ... Apophis is almost gone, should we stop him?" As the two men argued, their pirate ran to tangle with the question.

"What?" Kanojao looked in the direction his men pointed and noticed that Apophis was almost out of the courtyard. He didn't seem to be paying any attention to the two of them at all.

"Even you are ignoring me, am I just a set-up chief?" The humiliating anger of being ignored all came together, and Pepper no longer hesitated, bursting into a rage.

Apophis turned his head, killing intent soaring in his eyes, the sword power belonging to him created an illusion of a sea of blood in the surroundings. Pepper's mind stagnated by this ferocious momentum, the footsteps of the attack were involuntarily halted.

"Oh no, Don Kanojao is being affected by the enemy's presence!" Lupine was panicking. Had he known that the enemy's sword was so powerful, he would have fought to the death to stop the reckless actions of Kanojao.

Don Kanojao had mentioned that when he fought against the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard had a powerful swordsman under his command who was also able to create physical illusions of his sword power. The difference between the two is merely a sea of flowers and a sea of blood.

Kanojao was worthy of having been hand-taught by the great pirate Chinjao, and even though he lacked experience in actual combat, he was able to break free from his mind shock after a breath.

However, in an encounter between strong men, a single breath of time was already enough to decide the battle outcome.

When he came back to his senses, the green flame reflected in his pupils was enlarging, the strong wind brought by the tip of the sword even scraping his face, the magic sword seemed to be splitting him in two in the next moment.

"Ahhh!!!"

A miserable and painful scream erupted, scaring even the scavenging vultures on the outer harbor into fleeing with their wings.

One arm fell to the ground, still twitching.

It was only then that Kanojao, whose back was drenched in a cold sweat, reacted that it was Lupine who had pushed him away at the last moment, taking the near specific death blow for him at the cost of an arm.

Still, Lupine's howling didn't stop, his whole body bruised and soaked in sweat as if he'd been pulled out of the water.

"What's wrong with you, Lupine? Pull yourself together, don't scare me!" Kanojao knew very well that even a broken arm would never cause Lupine to be in pain to such an extent, and a battle-hardened pirate like him should not have acted similarly.

"That sword ... has, something odd, you must not be injured by ... or the pain ... that goes deep into your bones will make you incapable of fighting! " Lupus gritted his teeth and gave an account with the most stubborn perseverance before continuing to roll and shriek in pain on the ground.

The surrounding pirates watched the scene with pulses, they knew better than anyone else the vice chief's steadfastness, but it was such a man of iron that he revealed such a messy posture, even painful to the point where snot and tears mixed.

"Can't the weak-minded look you in the eyes?" Lupine's pain matured Kanojao at once. He lowered his eyebrows, "In that case, I'll fight you by judging your pace, and the wounds you've left Lupine with will be returned to you as they are, I swear!"

Apophis gently lifted the Sword of the Seven Stars and placed it in front of him, indifferent and silent, seemingly just treating the other's oath as a silly joke, not even bothering to comment.

Lupine covered the wound in his right arm and struggled to get up, but the stabbing pain in his soul made him unable to see the blurred scene in front of him anymore, and he stumbled about to fall to the ground.

"Vice Chief, Vice Chief!" The pirate next to him hurried to hold him up, calling out in concern.

"Don't worry about me yet, the chief he's only going to be no match for the enemy. You guys hurry up to support him and attack him with your guns while he's fighting the chief, since you've decided to do it, don't hold back." Lupine said resolutely.
