Chapter 21: Surprising

Location: Random Island in the New World

For such a person, it is indeed worthy of respect.

But! It seemed to him equally foolish!

Of course, what choice Roger makes has nothing to do with Varen.

He also has no interest in world peace, historical truth, Celestial Dragons, or World Government rule.

For him, everything here is just a stepping stone for gaining strength, and if he doesn't need it, he can just throw it away at any time.

Of course, Roger is still very important to him. At least whether it is strength or fame, Roger can be said to have reached the peak. If he can be defeated, the benefits will naturally be inexhaustible.

As for things like changing the times, wouldn't it be enough as long as there is enough power?

Everything he does is only for himself to become stronger, to move towards a further level, that's all.

That's how Varen works, and that's how Aizen works.

To break through stronger, to move towards a stronger realm, not to be constrained by anyone and not to obey anyone's orders.

Surrounded by the Roger Pirates, Varen raised his head with a calm expression, glanced around, and then asked Roger, "Is this the hospitality of the Roger Pirates? Staring at the guests like this doesn't look too good."

Varen's words immediately plunged the audience into silence.

They are all a bunch of rough pirates; there is no such thing as etiquette. They just simply felt that the young man in front of them seemed too arrogant and calm!

He obviously boarded the ship of their Roger Pirates and was surrounded by so many people, yet he didn't show any cowardly expression.

You must know that they are one of the three great pirates. Don't those little pirates usually look trembling when they see them?

"Forget it, but it's true. After all, I just got on someone else's boat. It's really difficult to talk without a little shock!" Looking around, Varen knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to continue the conversation like this.

The eyes of Rayleigh in front suddenly became sharp, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared. Then he seemed to have noticed something and rushed to the side of the red hair.

Boom!

In Varen's body, a stream of Reiatsu suddenly throbbed!

It radiated directly to the surroundings. The moment Reiatsu burst out—

Boom!

The incomparably powerful momentum rose directly, sweeping across the entire deck like a raging river.

For a moment,

The blue air current visible to the naked eye centred on Varen and swept out in all directions, covering every corner of the entire ship in just a split second.

Every inch of the ground was covered in Varen's thick blue Reiatsu.

Dozens of pirates around him, whose bounties were not low and who were still watching the scene, stopped immediately. Even those who offered a bounty of over 100 million were not spared.

That's why Varen held back. Otherwise, many people here would be directly crushed by his terrifying Reiatsu and explode.

This is one of the biggest differences between Reiatsu and Conqueror's Haki. Reiatsu can actually cause more damage, while Conqueror's Haki just stuns people.

"It seems like we can chat quietly for a while now."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Among the Roger Pirates, less than half of them were able to stand and move freely, while the others were all suppressed by Varen with Reiatsu.

Among them, those who could move freely included Rayleigh and Roger, who used Haki to block and help protect part of the crew, such as Shanks and Buggy.

And this whole process took just a moment.

One of the three great pirates, the Roger Pirates, was easily swept away by more than half. Although the people who stayed were very strong, it was shocking enough.

But even so, Roger was not angry. Instead, he asked curiously, "Is it not Conqueror's Haki, but relying on your own aura? Or relying on the help of Devil Fruit's ability?"

Although it was Varen who released the aura on his own initiative, the opponent didn't even move his hand, and the aura alone suppressed him, so they had nothing to say.

"To be precise, it's something called Reiatsu, but I'm the only one in this world who can use it." Varen smiled immediately and had no intention of hiding it.

Even if he told them the word Reiatsu, it was impossible for them to understand what it is.

The so-called Reiatsu is just a synonym for this force. If they wanted to, they could even give this force countless names.

So Varen had no reason to hide it.

Roger replied curiously, "Are you the only one who can use it? That's really strange! I feel that yours is stronger than my Conqueror's Haki, and your strength is still far behind."

For people whose strength is much worse than his own, Roger can naturally see the approximate level at a glance. Now Varen's level is about 500 million. It is probably okay to deal with the cadres on his ship, but against him and Rayleigh, it's not far off.

And...

Looking at the appearances of his cadres, although they did not completely lose their fighting power under Reiatsu's power, it could be seen from the eyes of a few of them that they had already developed a deep sense of awe towards Varen in their hearts.

If there is a real fight, I am afraid that four or five cadres may not necessarily be Varen's opponent if they fight together.

The only ones on this ship who can really defeat Varen are Roger's right-hand man and Roger himself!

"Boy, what do you want to do here?"

Seeing how Roger and Varen got along in harmony, Rayleigh couldn't hold back anymore.

Although it was their own fault that their own crew couldn't bear Varen's aura, Rayleigh was still somewhat uncomfortable.
