Chapter 44

I felt a piercing gaze from somewhere, and turned around, a tall man with red hair and thick eyebrows and a mustache was running in our direction. As far as I remember, this is exactly what Jonathan looked like. By the time I got a good look at him, he had already appeared in front of me and everyone around froze and stopped the fight. The sentinels were jubilant and happiness was read on their faces, and my team frowned, they all clearly felt that we were facing an unusual enemy. Jonathan broke the silence with a rude voice.

- Who are you, why did you attack my base?

I threw off my black cloak, and flexing my shoulders said:

- Nothing personally, we just need a good step.

The mustachioed frowned and growled:

- A step ?!

I nodded.

- Exactly, we are the team of the "Blood Star", from today we will officially become pirates, and this ... - I looked around everything: - A way to declare yourself.

- Grrr, you damn pirate, you think it's so easy to attack my base ?! DO YOU THINK WE ARE YOUR STEP ?! The vice admiral roared.

At that time, three strong auras appeared from far away and I looked in their direction and said:

"You're right, you and your friends are just steps.

Jonathan was already at his limit and was about to attack, but when he heard an exclamation, he stopped.

- It's him!

The vice-admiral turned towards the shouting man and shouted:

- Graves, do you know him ?!

Grandfather with a cigar looked at me in silence, and then nodded and said:

- It's definitely him, blue hair, strange tattoos ... - Then he looked at my nakam, and nodded again: - And his team ... Yes, it is definitely him!

The old man exhaled smoke and turned to me:

- Boy, what does it all mean?

- What are you talking about? - I did not understand.

- Before that, you killed pirates, and the most frostbitten ones, and now you attacked the watch base, why all this? - Asked the already blue-haired guy next to the old man.

I didn't answer him, but turned towards Zoro and Sanji and asked:

- Have you chosen?

They both nodded confidently and I turned to Jonathan and said:

- Enough chatting, already everything is clear, let's start already.

- It is high time! - Yelled Jonathan and throwing off his cloak rushed in my direction.

At that moment, Zoro and Sanji rushed towards the rear admirals and attacked them. I also darted towards one of them, the weakest, with a long nose. I wanted to neutralize at least one, so that it would be easier for the guys to fight, I am not sure that they will be able to win, and I did not count on that either, the main thing for me is to deal with the strongest, and then I will help them.

* Wshuu *

The vice admiral's fist flew very close, there was no problem to dodge, and I continued to rush at the nose.

All of this happened in a matter of moments, so Zoro and Sanji had not yet arrived at their opponents, so ...

- Hehe, kid, do you think to attack someone when I'm around? - The gray-haired old man grinned and appeared before me with a katana.

I frowned, but did not slow down and attacked the old man.

* BABAH *

My fist charged with will collided with his katana, sparks flew in all directions, but he was able to block my blow. At that moment, something flashed on the left and another blade flew in my direction, attacking the blue-haired one.

I chuckled and held out my hand covered with will.

* Tink! *

Sparks flew, and the blade was blocked.

"Not good" - flashed through my head. And at that moment I felt a chill on my back. Without hesitation, I used gravity and took to the air. But the feeling of danger did not disappear anywhere, but only grew, and I turned around.

* BABAH *

A punch from the vice admiral flew into me, I have never felt such a weight, as if a mountain crashed into me. I couldn't block it and just flew away.

* Bach * * Bach * * Bach *

I demolished several buildings and then stopped. I got up from the wreckage and dust myself off. A small trickle of blood flowed from my mouth and I felt a burning sensation in my chest.

"Yeah, not nice" = - I grinned. The old man used the will of the weaponry on the blade, so it didn't break and I was stopped. The blue-haired was not a threat at all, I could easily defeat them, but this is a redhead ... Not only is his physical strength enormous, but he also uses his will, and I was not ready to take the blow. Fortunately, my bones are very strong, and I withstood, but you should not substitute. Zoro and Sanji must keep them busy, otherwise it will be very difficult.

I flew out of the wreckage and stood in the air. The first thing I noticed was the fighting guys. Everyone began their battles, although two rear admirals fought against Zoro at once, and he had a very difficult time, well at least one of them was weaker than the others. As for Sanji, he got the most problematic of the rear admirals, a gray-haired old man.

I could not admire for a long time, Jonathan jumped in my direction through the air with anger on his face.

- Geppo means. - I sighed: - Problem ... - I did not fight in the air, but landed on the wreckage and waited for the redhead. It didn't take long, he arrived a couple of seconds later and stood about ten meters away from me.

I chuckled and said:

- Nice hit, now it's my turn. - Then I covered my hand with fog and dashed towards the vice admiral.

He rushed to meet me with a black fist covered in khaki, then our fists collided.

* BABAH *

Sparks flew apart, and we were thrown apart. The fist ached, I even felt my bones crackle. Although the redhead was no better, he, like me, had blood dripping from his fist and dripping onto the ruins of the building.

* Click * * Click * * Click *

I cracked the knuckles of my fist and said:

"Not bad, the strength of the vice admiral, not something to be looked down upon.

Jonathan gave me a piercing look and grinned.

"I think I get it, you're the guy who killed Shichibukai, right?"

- Exactly. - I agreed.

- Heh, you want to become famous by destroying our base, right? - Jonathan grinned, and then with a grin said: - First you have to kill me!

To this I did not answer, but simply attacked.

* Vshuh * * Bach * * Vshuh * * Bach * * Bach *

We began to exchange blows, a dozen, a hundred, a few hundred. With each blow, I frowned more and more, and felt the tension. He responded to one of my blows with two of his own, I clearly felt that I lacked skills. His fighting ability was great, he was definitely a martial artist unlike me. In addition, he had the will to arms and the will to observe, he also used Rokushiki, it was too difficult an opponent. At the same time, he was not even a fruit tree, I clearly felt the difference between us, before him I was a youth without experience.

Yes, for this I could only breathe and continue, I hoped for my endurance, although he attacked me more than I did him, but I hoped that I could withstand all this and turn the tide of the battle ...
