Chapter 23

In One Piece As A Pirate

Chapter 23

When night came to its peak, the Rood Pirate set sail. Now Rood is already healed. So there is nothing to fear.

Kish was commanding everyone. And he is controlling the ship. After going through Strom at night, The Rood Pirate came to a safe place with the help of K.Kish.

Although K.Kish isn't an excellent navigator, he used to go out of the island fishing with his father. And he got that understanding through a lot of hardship.

After coming out of the storm, all the little guys went to sleep. Just the five of them are standing on the deck. Everyone has some expectations in their eyes.

They didn't say a word, just looking at the distant future. Suddenly, Rood thought something and looked in the direction where Yoku was standing.

"YOKU. From today onwards, you must help us. With your ability." Rood, look at Yoku from above. Because he is now standing on the watch tower. So, he had to shout.

"Okay. I am always there for you, Captain." Yoku said.

Just like that, the night has passed. In the morning, everyone got the opportunity to eat something new. At noon, when the little guys training was over, Rood came to Yoku. With a black cloth in his hand.

"YOKU. The way you can help me in this training is by attacking me. My work is to defend or dodge. Do you understand?" Rood instructs Yoku. All the little guys are here. When they heard the Roods word, they were shocked to see that Rood was binding a blindfold.

"Hey. If you want a beating, why didn't you tell me? I can also beat you." Duke said it from a distance.

"It's about equal rights. If he can fight without seeing anything, then I can also try." Rood made an unreasonable statement.

"But he has learned it since he was a child. Do you think you can learn it so easily?" Duke was trying to make Rood angry. But this time, Rood didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's start." The moment Rood said this.

Yoku came to him and banged with his hammer. Yoku's speed wasn't that fast. But the strength he uses is real.

'wow. I can't even feel it. When and where will the next beating come? I am just trying the same exercise I heard from my child (previous life), and I don't know if this will work.' Eood thought.

This exercise took place for about half an hour. After that, Rood stepped aside. It's Duke's turn to get beaten.

"Duke. It's your turn. You have to hang in there." Rood asks Duke to come forward for a beating."

"One more thing. Don't you dare use iron blocks. My sword can cut iron like mud." Rood looks at Duke like he already knows his plan.

"Who made this rule? This is a complete plan for beating an innocent man." Duke tried to refuse. But Mokume had already put the black cloth on Duke's eyes.After 5 minutes, it becomes miserable. A lot of places are red.

"Did you feel that uneasiness in your heart." Rood asked Duke when he came to him and sat besides him.

"Yes, I felt it. But no matter what, I can't react in time." Duke replied. Just like that, the first batch of pirate members got into this practice. And most of them didn't understand this exercise at all.

In this way, two more days have passed by.

The Roods pirate didn't encounter any pirates near the water. But today, Rood has free intelligence about a pirate group that has come to South Blue.

Name: King Pirate They bought a treasure map at an auction. 10 days later, they were found in South Blue. The captain's bounty is $350 million. The captain used to be the king of a small island. It was looted by pirates. But the Navy didn't help him in time. So he decided to be a pirate. Name: king.

After hearing the location, K.Kish changed the route. Started to set sail. It took Rood's pirate 5 hours to reach there. But they didn't find anyone here.

"Rood, there is nothing here." K.Kish said to Rood.

"Don't worry. The information is reliable. So that pirate didn't go that far. Keep looking, everyone." Rood shouted and jumped to the highest point of the mast with a binocular.

Without finding any pirate ships. Rood got down and took a long sigh. 'Where could they go? Or their speed is greater than ours.' Rood, keep thinking. Suddenly, a sound came to his ears.

"Hey, what's that?" One of the new crew members saw a black dot. Which is far away. It's like a drop of black water. Look at the person who saw this. He saw that it was Cole. One of the gunmen. Wow, he has some talent in this area.

"Where? Show me?" He took the binoculars and looked in that direction.

"K.Kish look. There is something. Go in that direction." Rood reminded K. Kish in time.

When K.Kish saw that black dot,

"Rood. I think it's an island." Kish said while looking at the black dot.

"It's an island! Then maybe that pirate is going in that direction. Or maybe they are on that island." Rood said while smiling happily for sometimes.

'Before we step on the grand line. We found some grand-line inhabitants here. It's a great boost for us.' Rood, look at everyone.

"Everyone. Be careful. Never underestimate the enemy." Rood didn't say much.

After 15 minutes, they reached the island. And I saw that there was also another ship there.

After getting off the ship, they went to look for people.

"Rood! What do you think they are doing here? Or they are hiding like we did before." Duke came and asked Rood about the situation.

"We weren't hiding. We stop there to train our crew members. Look at them. In two months of training and with extra fights, they are now more mature." Rood, try to correct Duke.

Duke also understands this. But he doesn't like to hide because enemies are strong. So, he keeps telling Rood about this.

Rood also understands Duke. But Rood isn't alone now. New crew members need to adapt to their strengths. So, Rood kept his patience. And try not to make any mistakes.

After coming to the center of the island, Rood's pirate saw many people sleeping.

Without any worries, like it's their house. Rood looked around and found a man with black hair. The skin color is unknown because of the dirt on the surface. Some hair has turned white.

This person looks strong. He is sleeping on a large box. Although Rood doesn't know where he got that box, it looks like a treasure. None of them had the observation of Haki. So Rood told his plan to everyone and went straight to that person, who might be the captain.

Rood poked his finger at that man's shoulder.

"Hey boss, wake up. We have some guests." Rood tries to act like a crew member.

"Oh, who is he?" asks the captain of the king pirate.

"It's Rood's pirate. They are very vicious." The moment Rood said this. His tone somehow changed a little.

And this was caught by the old man. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see that the person was in front of him. And the facial structure is just the same as what he saw in the bounty poster. Although the South Blue Pirate is like an ant in his eyes, this person is now standing in front of him.

'Shit, I was careless this time. It won't happen again.' King thought about his mistake.

"Boy. Do you know what you are doing? I am no ordinary pirate." When he shouted those words. All his crew members woke up and saw the situation. After seeing that there are only thirty+ members, they make me laugh.

'What are they doing here? Don't they have any eyes? We are a group of 80 people. How can your attitude be so reckless? Those crew members keep thinking about this problem.

"I saw your poster in a pub. You must be the highest bounty in this South Blue. But you don't know how dangerous it is..." before he could complete his speech. He saw that the Rood in front of him had already drawn out his sword.

Without thinking any more, the pirate captain (the king) punched Rood.

When Rood saw the upcoming punch, he tried to block it. But he overestimated his strength this time.

Rood was sent 10 steps back. But the king's punch was just a casual punch. Rood looked at the king's hand and saw black material like gloves. Rood now understands the strength.

"Look at our captain. He said not to underestimate the enemy, but now he made those mistakes." Duke is whispering to everyone. The moment the king attacked, all the crew was already rushing towards Rood. So, after Duke said those words, he had already jumped in the air and fallen behind Rood.

Duke Target is a man who uses two swords. K.Kish and Mokume found their respective opponents. Seven gunners are now standing on trees. And firing towards small flies who try to disturb the leaders fight.

Rood held the Sabre very tightly, came to the king within a second, and chop the hand of the king. If Rood wants, he can attack the other part of the body. But he didn't try it.

Because every time Rood's sword clashes with the king's armor, Haki. His hand can feel the shocks. So, the root target is the hand part.

Rood has been fighting with Duke since he was five years old. Rood knew the style of a fighter who fought without any weapon. So, In techniques, Rood is at an advantage. But because of the king's armor, Haki. Rood needs to be cautious.

This time, Rood slashed both hands at the same time. He didn't stop using his full strength. If Rood uses this move on a rock or iron monument, that monument will be cut into four pieces.

But because of Armament Haki, the Kings blocked the move. When the king blocks the Roods move, he can also feel that the Roods sword man level is high. Same as his vice captain.

This is not all. King was also a pirate who fought with Pirate King Gold D. Roger. on their second trip to find the last island in the new world. Although he was defeated within a second, it also gave him more confidence.

So, this strength of Rood isn't new for him. Rood, who has been in full concentration, didn't know that in this pirate group. There are about four people who know this Armament Haki.

And they are now fighting with Duke K.Kish Mokume.

They really choose the best person in the opponent group. It also shows that their eyesight is also good. Duke, who is in full form, also feels the Power of Armament Haki wrap around the opponent's sword.

Duke's opponent's name is GRIDOR. He is a swordman. His swordsmanship has reached a critical level. He remembers his previous opponent. Nobody has ever tried to block his sword with their empty hand.

This is the first time. Because of his Armament Haki has an advantage. So, he tries to cut the turtle shell of his opponent. Duke didn't try to punch everywhere. His target is the sword. Because Duke wants to feel the power of Haki.

But Duke's opponent's idea isn't simple. Sometimes a sword slashes at Duke's leg. But because of Iron Block, there weren't any wounds. But the pain is on another level. But Duke can eat those slashes; it's not a problem for now.

Same for the other two cadres. They also tasted the strength of Armament Haki. The four main players are at a disadvantage. As for the other crew members of the Roods. They are already killing everywhere they go. Because their opponents aren't that strong.

When all the little crew members were defeated, King became serious this time. He started to beat Rood wherever he got the chance.

If Rood blocks one punch, try to attack. But another punch comes and bombards Rood's body.

It's not that Rood can't block or dodge it. It's because Rood is trying to cut this defense using a sword. So he has to endured a little. In my memory. He remembers that the weakest level of Haki armor was just black. So, this king guy is at the weakest level.

So Rood is trying to cut it with his sword.
