Chapter 358: "Traveler" Yeruashi

On the ruined shore.

Robin kept looking at Akainu, who was being burned by the Amaterasu flames, and it was only after a few dozen steps that she finally turned around and looked at Yeruashi, who was holding her hand.

If Akainu, Sengoku and the rest of the Marines simply had certain suspicions about Yeruashi's abilities, Robin was pretty sure that his ability was not the gravity devil fruit.

According to Robin, there are only two possibilities.

The first is Yeruashi, the owner of the devil fruit of the mythical zoan type, which provides its user with a number of unique abilities, such as changing the appearance of Kyubi no Kitsune, the blue flame of the reincarnation of the Phoenix, the shock waves of Buddha, and so on.

Perhaps, as Yeruashi said earlier, he has a never-before-seen devil fruit as the mythical zoan: the Divine Tree!

As for the second possibility, this power simply has nothing to do with devil fruit abilities, such a thing is quite widespread in the vast sea.

For example, a swordsman who does not have the flame-type devil fruit skill can carve it with his swords, and a swordsman who does not have the cold-type skill can freeze his opponent with the sword.

But all this is not so important.

More importantly, Yeruashi is stronger than the Admiral of the Navy!

Holding Yeruashi's hand with her small hand, Robin could feel his palm soft and warm, without giving any feeling of this great power.

Soon they reached the shore and Yeruashi looked at the small boat in the sea, then hugged Robin and disappeared from the shore with her.

Whoosh!!!

They appeared on the deck of the boat.

Almost all of the moored boats were destroyed, along with the five large navy warships, but their ship was undamaged.

The solidity of the hull, previously reinforced with Mokuton, of course, caused no doubt, surpassing even steel, moreover, the ship was supported by the created life, among which was living water.

"We're leaving."

Yeruashi said calmly, leaving Robin on the deck.

"Aye, captain!"

The living parts of the ship immediately accepted the order and began to execute. The numerous ropes were immediately set in motion and the sails were quickly lowered, even the anchor was hoisted on its own.

After a while, the ship quickly sailed off into the distance.

After Robin and Yeruashi boarded the ship, they left Merk Island.

Morgans, who had been watching the scene silently, finally began to gradually recover, his trembling eyes filled with unprecedented excitement.

Yeruashi...

He crushed the admiral of the navy!

"This guy... Will become one of the emperors of the New World!"

Morgans took a deep breath as he watched the Yeruashi ship sail away.

In the vastness of the sea, Admirals are considered the Navy's most important fighting force.

A pirate who is able to escape from the Admiral will already be considered an extremely strong character, qualified to roam freely in the expanses of the sea, rapidly amassing forces under his command.

And there are even fewer people who can engage in a head-on battle with an Admiral, and it can be said that they are extremely rare.

Not every pirate with a bounty of over a billion is capable of such a thing.

But defeating an Admiral...

This is something completely unimaginable!

Admirals almost never suffer defeats, and if this happens, the news is immediately blocked by the World Government, but Morgans, as an influential denizen of the underworld, can obtain a lot of information that is not available to ordinary people.

Among the secret information he managed to obtain in the past, there are records of the defeats of Navy Admirals, but such events are extremely rare!

'Golden Lion 'Shiki', Whitebeard 'Edward Newgate and 'Golden' Roger have each defeated the Navy Admiral.

In addition to these three legends, there is also another person who was able to defeat an Admiral: Captain Rocks!

This Day...

Another man appeared, who defeated an Admiral!

"Now this is really great news..."

...

Ten days later.

News of what had happened on Merk Island spread across the vast expanse of the sea.

Although the World Government did its best to hide the truth by actively spreading the news that the Navy had simply overlooked the culprit, Morgans was active in the underworld, publishing a wide variety of newspapers reporting on the Navy Admiral's defeat.

Here are some snippets from published articles:

[Alone at the expense of his personal strength, he destroyed five Navy ships.]

[Single-handedly defeated the Navy Admiral, Buddha Sengoku]

[After Gold Roger opened the Pirate Age, another 'hero' was born on the vast sea].

[The heroes of the New World will face another mighty enemy]

[Who will eventually be able to defeat all his enemies and rise above this sea, becoming one of the rulers... one of the emperors of the New World?!]

These articles were personally written by Morgans.

At the same time.

The World Government actively spread completely different news, in which most of the information was worthless, only the end had some importance.

[...due to the brutality and chaos that this terrible criminal brings to the world, the World Government considers it their duty to search for him all over the world, information about this criminal is given below]

['Traveler' Yeruashi]

[Surname unknown, birthplace unknown, currently associated with 'Demon Girl' Nico Robin]

[The initial bounty on the head is.... 1 trillion 77 million 900 thousand belli]

If the World Government had not been forced to conceal the fact of the Admiral's defeat, Yeruashi's bounty would have been at least double, but even now, the first bounty, which immediately surpassed the 1 billion mark, caused quite a storm!

...

On some island in the first half of the Grand Line.

Here, in anticipation of establishing Log Pose, the Redhead Pirates held a banquet.

In a clearing in the middle of the forest, a large number of pirates gathered, eating a variety of food and drinking wine.

At that moment, a seagull appeared in the sky above the clearing with a small bag around its neck, from which newspapers were sticking out.

"Ah..."

"Looks like a new newspaper has come out."

After taking a long drink of beer, Shanks pulled out a coin and tossed it to the seagull, then caught the newspaper and gave it a cursory glance.

Initially, he didn't pay much attention to this newspaper, but after a cursory glance, his eyes suddenly widened, because he was perfectly familiar with the face that took up most of the front page!

"Is that him?!"

Beckman, who was sitting next to Shanks, also casually glanced at the paper and exclaimed in a stunned voice.

He immediately reached out and flipped through the paper, beginning to read the article on the next page carefully with Shanks, especially the information in the last few paragraphs that caught their attention.

"His first bounty immediately beat the captain, no... beat the whole team."

Yasopp also looked at the paper and took a deep breath.

"His strength is enough to receive such a reward."

Shanks put down the paper with a smile and looked up at the sky, "I wonder what our next meeting will be like..."
