Longinus vs. World (2/5)

"How dare a marine appear before me alone, whether I should call you ignorant or fearless, Longinus!" Even if World had been reluctant to take on him before, his anger still spewed out in a restrained manner when Longinus came to his door.

What does this asshole think he is? A killable piece of trash?

The surrounding pirates also successively took their weapons in their hands and laughed wildly, not to mention that they didn't know Longinus's strength, but if they did, they wouldn't have much to fear in front of such a luxurious lineup.

"I was incompetent in allowing you to escape from me two years ago." Longinus unbuttoned his coat to reveal the coat of justice draped over him, "This time, I will not let you have a chance to escape."

"Hahaha! Did I hear that right, this brat, talking about defeating World-sama!"

"What a laugh, we have thousands of troops here, if you want to challenge the king, let's get through us first before you say such big words, bastard!"

"Enough! This guy is challenging me, and I'm sure he won't be happy if he dies even if you guys stop him!" It wasn't that World was arrogant and proud. He just recalled the scene two years ago when this marine named Longinus was still alive and well after killing thousands of pirates by himself.

For a monster with near-infinite physical capabilities like this, trying to defeat the opponent by wheeling and dealing with exhaustion was merely useless. If it were prolonged, if another group of difficult enemies on the island found the opportunity and got involved, the battle outcome would be unpredictable.

If he hadn't been so worried about being underestimated, he'd even planned to have the mighty warriors of the Charlotte family besiege him in the first place.

"Looks like we'll have to make this quick and leave the finishing touches to the Charlotte's!" World acted righteously and said, "What's more, you're all my valuable men, so it's better for me, the captain of the ship, to take the blame for such things."

When the surrounding pirates heard this, they thought that World was worried about their safety and said with great emotion:

"I didn't realize that World-sama was such a gentle man!"

"Sworn to serve World-sama to the death!"

Katakuri and the others on the other side looked at the scene speechlessly and said to themselves, if you guys knew that World was planning to put you entirely up against a behemoth like the World Government, I don't know if you'd still be lamenting that.

"World, that's enough of the boring show, if you enjoy playing this game so much, the deep sea prison would be quite the place for you."

"Arrogant brat, I'd take that kind of talk a little more seriously if it were Garp, but you, however, are far from qualified!" World burst out, grabbing the table set before him and hurling it.

"More More Sanjubai Sandan!"

Naturally, the table made of wood blocks could not withstand the thirty-fold acceleration, and it just burst open in the air, turning into as many wood shavings as it could, shooting in the direction of Longinus.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The wood debris comparable to the power of a large sniper firearm hit the body of Longinus covered Busoshoku Haki. Surprisingly, it could not even break the defense and bounce away after a crisp impact sound.

"World, if it's just this level of attack don't bring it out to shame!" After the dark armor faded away from his body, Longinus craned his neck and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Waldo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Two years ago, even a tenfold acceleration could cause the opponent some trouble, but now, a thirtyfold acceleration couldn't even stir up half a blast of water.

It seemed that he had recovered quite a bit from his injuries, but his opponent was by no means standing still!

"If you want to die so badly, I'll make it happen!" World drew out his waist-length blade, the blade steeply enlarged fifty times, and even the cutting speed increased fifty times, "More More Gojubai Giri!"

Watching the large blade that had magnified fifty times as if it was opening the heavens and falling, the surrounding pirates could not help but feel agitated.

With this inhuman level of power, it's no wonder their captain is known as the World Destroyer!

However, their cheers were stuck in their throats before they could get out.

Because that marine merely raised his hand with one hand and grasped the fifty-meter dagger in his hand, and the tremendous force transmitted to the ground, causing the ground beneath his feet to crumble and spread like a spider's web.

"Just kidding, right? That marine actually took World-sama's attack with one hand!" The pirate who spoke only felt incomparably afraid, fortunately just was stopped, or else this to rush up to be that marine gently squeezed, only afraid that the whole body bones will be broken into powder.

"This power is barely in the eye, but of course, it's just able to get in the eye!" Longinus lunged upward with his right hand, flicking the falling dagger away as he lunged forward.

World's pupils contracted so violently that he couldn't block in time and was hammered away hard just in time to cover the vital areas with his Busoshoku Haki.

Boom!

The ground was "pushed" by World's body into a long, narrow ravine, and all the rocks and trees along the road were broken into pieces.

The pirates who had been attracted by World's fame had been shocked beyond words by the sight of World, the great pirate who could compete with Roger and Whitebeard in their eyes, being brutally beaten by this young-looking marine.

Is the world too crazy, or have they outgrown it?

"Kid, you're really ... pissing me off!" In the dust, a voice that was angry to the extreme was heard, "More More Hyakubai Soku!"

If Longinus' previous speed was so fast that the crowd's visual nerves couldn't catch it, then at the moment, World could almost be said to be transient across space in general.

"So fast!" Longinus' pupils contracted sharply, and he hadn't expected such a terrifying qualitative change when World had increased his speed to a hundred times.

"Too late to dodge!" Longinus's Kenbunshoku does catch the other's movements, but his body can't keep up with his mind's reactions.

"Since I can' t dodge, I have to defend and counterattack!" Longinus covered his entire body in Busoshoku Haki, blood pumping, and double defense with Busoshoku, and Tekkai then focused on defending himself against Valdor's attack.

Bang!

As if an ancient tyrannosaurus had hit him head-on, Longinus only felt that not a single part of his body was painless, and even with his double defense, a mouthful of blood still gushed up his throat.

"The moment you hit me, you couldn't avoid slowing down." Spurred on by the pain, Longinus was instead more aware than ever, "And, that's your flaw."

Long hair twisted and bound World like a serpent, and the ultimate impact erupted violently from Longinus' twin palm swords.

Sai Dai Rin - Rokuogan!

Boom!

Thunder exploded, and dust flew.

Each side smashes into the sides of the forest, and it looks like it's even ... a lose-lose situation!
