Tentative Engagement

"The island split into four pieces!" The corners of Hawkins' mouth twitched slightly, and his calm pupils finally rippled, "Is this the strength of the monsters on the Grand Line? It's terrifying!"

"That guy is, the Aloof Red!" Smoker's pupils slightly contracted but soon calmed down, "but an old antique that has been eliminated by the times, there is no way it would be a match for senpai."

"A single punch shattered the island ... Grand Line are such terrible monsters?" Usopp sucked down his nose hard.

On the other hand, Robin was captured from Longinus's previous words to two pieces of information, "the Hero Garp, Dragon, surprisingly, Luffy's grandfather and father?"

Sitting paralyzed on the side of Longinus, Luffy also finally came back from the shock of the other side of a blow to shatter the island, "It was the old man who saved me the other day, no, it seems a little different."

Unlike the old form of the previous days, the current Redfield appeared in front of him as a young man, and the most attention-grabbing thing was the pair of pointed ears on top of his head.

"Batto Batto no Mi - Mythical Zoan - Model: Vampire? I didn't expect you to get this fruit." Longinus said with a straight face.

"It is indeed a great fruit!" Feeling the stamina and vitality that had started flowing again in his body, even Redfield couldn't help but show a smile of satisfaction.

"Back on top, you can't hold down your restless ambition so soon?" Longinus' gaze grew dangerous, "Or do you think that this kind of stance is enough to defeat me?"

"Heh! That sharp-tongued brat from twenty years ago is really still as unpleasant as he was back then!" Redfield's eyes narrowed slightly.

To be honest, although he did not put much to Longinus's "humiliation" in mind from Impel Down after escaping from prison, in fact, his heart still has some thoughts.

If it happens to run into that annoying kid, he must know that he can not say some words!

But unfortunately, fate did not take care of him.

When he met this kid for the second time, it was ten years ago at the Pirate Festival, when Longinus was already the number of top power in the sea, and he was also focused on pure gold, there was no time to bother with each other about what happened in the past.

Until today, he finally had the opportunity to teach that annoying brat a lesson back then.

"Unpleasant?" Longinus shook his head; back then, to steal the other party's ability, he did use some less than honorable means.

However, according to what is said in the other world, those who achieve great things do not stick to small things; such small things cannot shake their hearts and minds.

"This time, it is your handiwork too, right?" Redfield looked around and sneered.

"Not bad." Longinus did not deny it, "However, it was not a set-up for you, your appearance is a surprise."

"Not a nightmare?"

Longinus did not deny it and asked again, "I am more surprised that a person like you would come to the rescue?"

"I just think ... if I can take the person who inherited Roger's will as a subordinate, that kind of scene is too interesting!" The corners of Redfield's mouth flowed a hint of an evil smile.

Luffy was confused to hear but also heard the general meaning of Redfield, "I am to become the Pirate King's man, how can give you as a henchman?"

However, his roar was directly ignored by the two.

Longinus said rather lamentingly, "Speaking of which, among the four people who escaped from me twenty years ago, World was killed by me seventeen years ago, Bullet was re-cast into Impel Down by me six years ago. And now, you and Ember are left!"

Hearing Longinus' narrative, the crowd then understood why these two had crossed paths twenty years ago.

"What do you mean?" Redfield's eyes were gloomy.

"I just want to ... make up for the mistakes of the past!" Longinus said with an increasingly raging aura.

"Then you should be careful, never ... lose yourself in!" Redfield turned the umbrella, and the aura on his body surged up.

"Smoker."

"Present!"

"Lead the entire army to quickly evacuate from the Long Ring Long Land."

"Yes!"

In the confused and puzzled eyes of a group of pirates, Longinus suddenly made his move!

Across space, most simply and brutally, a fist came down.

Redfield turned the hilt of his umbrella, and like a thin sword, he stabbed it in front of him in a pinpoint manner.

Boom!

The endless wave of air frenzy was washing around; even the ground was scraped and cracked, not to mention the trees and rocks people were instantly swept into the sky.

"Help ~ help ~."

"Quick~run~."

In this furious wave of air, it stretched out even the sound.

A group of pirates finally understood why Longinus had given such an order before?

Just a simple collision caused such a terrifying fluctuation; if this fighting, is not the whole island will have to be sunk?

Two figures flew backward from the center of the storm, and the next moment, they flew back in.

The tip of Redfield's umbrella was like the sharpest of blades, slicing through the air with an ear-piercing sonic boom.

Longinus held the tip of the umbrella in his right hand, his palm was almost pierced by the tip, but still, his face was indifferent, as if it was not him who got pierced through his palm.

Seizing this opportunity, Longinus left leg, like a long whip, flung out, kicking the air, constantly close to the opponent's waist.

Redfield slightly changed his expression; his right hand gripped claws towards the left leg of Longinus.

As a top powerhouse alongside Whitebeard and Roger, Redfield's swordsmanship and physical skills are top.

But compared to Longinus, he is still a weak one in physical skills; this claw did not play a role; on the contrary, he was kicked by Longinus out of hundreds of meters away.

On this side, the palm of Longinus was dripping blood, and on the other side, Redfield's right arm showed a strange twist.

From the surface of the situation, it seems that both sides are defeated.

But Redfield is aware that this trial is he fell into an absolute disadvantage.

On the one hand, he was a bit overconfident, the material of this umbrella is good, but at best, it is only at the level of O Wazamono; in their level of combat, it is indeed a bit inadequate.

"If it was a Saijo O Wazamono, I would have directly cut off his palm with that blow just now!" When having said that, Redfield's heart was also secretly staggered.

It was the first time he had seen someone who dared to use his palm to receive his attack hard, this guy, was he human?

On the other hand, it is his combat experience cannot compare with the other party.

But this is also impossible; the world's top combat power is only a few; where can he find someone to give him as a companion?

Redfield was a bit confused; how did Longinus maintain that super high level of condition all the time?
