Behind every famous pirate, there is a navy that tirelessly pursues them.
Monger is no exception.
When "Scarlet Snake" Rona first pursued him, she was just an ordinary naval officer. Monger watched her step by step, from a sergeant to a lieutenant, and then a lieutenant to a colonel.
Finally, three years ago, she became one of the three current admirals of the navy.
Five years ago, Rona had the strength to be infinitely close to the admiral level, and just now when they met, Monger was sure that she had stepped into that threshold.
In this world, the so-called admiral level and emperor level do not refer to a certain realm, but more to a watershed of strength.
In this regard, the world government with a history of 800 years is more authoritative, and almost all tests are conducted by the three admirals of the older generation.
If you are not strong enough, no matter how much you have contributed, you are not qualified to become an admiral.
So there is a saying in the pirate world.
Only those who can confront the admirals of the navy head-on or even win are the overlords of the sea. If you can't do it, then you are just a pirate.
Monger has been sailing on the sea for so many years, and has met almost four or five admirals of the navy, including not only the current three admirals of the navy, but also the previous ones.
He can't beat any of them.
So there is another saying in the pirate world that if you can beat the white wolf Monger, you will be the new overlord of this sea.
The emperor's goalkeeper belongs to it.
Monger was not convinced at first, but after losing to the admiral several times in a row, Monger could only accept his fate, and he could only accept his weakness.
The fruit, he awakened.
He practiced to the top level of domineering.
But he just couldn't win, just a little bit short, just a final blow.
Even losing to Rona five years ago completely defeated his spirit, so he had the idea of disbanding the crew and finding a place to retire.
The qualification of the domineering domineering is innate.
But the strength of the domineering domineering depends entirely on the user's spirit.
He has been sailing on the sea for so long.
Is his spirit only equivalent to that of a pirate who has just set out to sea?
How is it possible?
So there is only one possibility, that is, even Monger himself does not think he is qualified to become the Overlord. Only he can deny himself, so his Conqueror Haki is so weak.
The rest of the past six months is not only to wait for the new ship, not only to improve the strength of Rocks and Lipri.
More importantly, it is to find myself again!
Find the self who stepped into the sea with high spirits!
So what if I am a general?
So what if I have failed countless times?
The system makes up for Monger's defect of not having Conqueror Haki. The multiple cell activity enhancements not only make Monger rejuvenated, but also allow Monger to break through the original physical limit. He
originally planned to fight as an ordinary person, but the result was failure and ridicule.
Well, he won't act anymore.
Deep blue, add some points!
"Frost bite!"
In the misty forest, a white giant wolf emerged from the shadows with a long knife in its mouth. Its huge body leaped into the air and the long knife in its mouth chopped down fiercely.
The "Scarlet Snake" Rona seemed to have eyes on her back. She was in the pitch-black ice fog, but she still blocked Monger's almost sneak attack.
"Hmph, you only know how to play some tricks."
The ice fog that now shrouded Rona was formed by Monger using his own ability, covering almost a few kilometers.
Not only can it block vision, but it also brings extreme cold.
Ordinary people will get frostbite if they touch it.
But Rona is not an ordinary person. Even if she wants to reach the top, she must have a strong physical fitness.
This level of ice fog will be fine even if she stays for a day and a night.
"Haha, this is part of my ability. What's mean? If you want to talk about meanness, you, a young man, come to bully me, an old man. Isn't it mean?"
Monger quickly disappeared after missing the attack.
The reason why he turned into an animal form instead of using the strongest human-beast form is that Monger is ready for a protracted war.
If Rona was not a swordsman, but a Devil Fruit user, or another general who was good at Armament Haki or Dominant Haki, Monger would not have adopted this style of fighting.
Because Monger's speed is not an advantage in front of a monster that has developed its physique to the peak.
But as a swordsman, no one knows swordsmen better than him.
In terms of pure lethality, Rona, who is already a general-level, must be above him.
It was just a round of collision.
Rona's hand holding the sword did not waver at all, but Monger's mouth, which was biting the long knife, was torn with some scars because of Rona's domineering.
But, it was only a little.
Rona is very strong, a real general-level combat power. Even Monger at his peak is not Rona's opponent now.
But that is only limited to the sea.
Rona's physique can last for a day in the ice fog he created.
What about two days, three days?
This is Elbaf in winter, and he is the white wolf that creates the cold winter.
There is no better fighting environment than this.
Monger doesn't want to escape.
Why can he only be the goalkeeper of the general emperor, why can't he be the emperor of the sea, why can't he become the overlord of this era?
"Hahahaha, 'Scarlet Snake' Rona, let's have a hearty fight. This time, I won't run away again!"
The white giant wolf never stopped attacking. He retreated after one strike, but in the next second, he would reappear in front of Rona.
He wanted to nail Rona here.
Rona had no intention of running away. As a stronger person, she was confident that she could win even in a disadvantaged environment.
She was just a little silent.
She seemed to see a legend of the old times, which was declining because of time.
Monger was just a big pirate.
But no matter which admiral of the navy, he never underestimated Monger.
Because Monger is the only pirate in this era who can escape pursuit after meeting them many times.
But she doesn't think Monger can beat her.
Because,
she is the admiral of the navy!
"Scarlet!"
A scarlet knife light followed Rona's swing of the knife, as if it had its own life, surrounding Rona, and accurately collided with Monger who rushed from the other side.
Monger didn't collide with Rona head-on because he knew that with the lethality of a great swordsman, he would be completely at a disadvantage in an instant.
But as long as he used the perception of the observation Haki produced by the ice mist, he could constantly adjust the angle and attack Rona's weakest defense every time with the best posture.
But.
"It's not that simple!"
The scarlet knife light left several blood marks on Monger's body. Monger didn't use the armed Haki to defend at all, but chose to bear it with his body.
The most powerful thing about the ability users of animal fruits is their physical fitness.
If he used the armed Haki and combined with his physical strength, he might be able to withstand this attack without injury, but it would also consume his Haki.
If he had to use Armament Haki to defend against even this level of attack, his Haki would run out before Rona's stamina ran out.
At this point, neither Monger nor Rona would back down.
Let's fight!
The village of giants.
While Monger and Rona were fighting fiercely, Rocks woke up.
Monger's ice fog almost covered the surrounding area of several thousand meters, and the location where the two fought was not far from the village of giants.
Therefore, even Rocks in the village could feel the biting cold.
His intuition told him
that he must not go in the direction of the forest.
"What happened?"
The six-month stay did not reduce Rocks' vigilance much. After all, Monger would launch a surprise attack from time to time. If he accidentally fell asleep, he would inevitably be beaten up.
In the name of training his Observation Haki.
Rocks did not have no complaints, but he learned from other giants that Observation Haki was really trained in this way.
He could only swallow the complaints back into his stomach.
Practice!
Why not practice?
He, Rocks, is a man who wants to be the overlord of the sea. If he can't even bear this little hardship, how can he become stronger?
With vigilance.
Rocks looked out the window and saw a thick fog covering the edge of the village. From time to time, there were fierce collisions coming from the fog.
"It's Captain Monger!"
The voice of a giant sounded outside the house.
"Captain Mung is fighting with others, but the fog is too thick, we can't get close at all!"
The extremely cold ice fog seemed to freeze even flames. The giants just rushed into the ice fog with torches in hand, and the torches went out.
Moreover, due to their huge size, the giants were more affected by the ice fog. In addition, they had not eaten for a week, and their physical strength was not enough to support too long in this cold.
"No, quickly notify Lord Yorulu and Lord Aruru, and contact His Majesty Harald. This is not a battle we can intervene in!"
The giants shouted.
There are indeed many outstanding warriors in the giant tribe, but many warriors are scattered in different villages and not gathered together.
Now in the entire West Village, there are only three or four giants who are qualified to walk to the center of the collision, but these giants dare not act rashly.
Who knows how many enemies are hiding in the dark?
The giants knew very well that the winter solstice festival was when they were the weakest. Since the enemy chose to come to Elbaf during the winter solstice festival, they must have malicious intentions.
"Is this the old man fighting?"
Seeing the red and white light blooming in the sky from time to time, Rocks took a deep breath. He thought that after half a year of training, he should have narrowed the gap with Monger.
Who knew that in the face of Monger's battle, he couldn't even get close.
Rocks' nails pinched into the palm of his hand.
He is still not strong enough!
"Hey, what's wrong with this kid?"
"It's so hard, I can't knock it out at all!"
"Forget it, don't worry about her. While the giants are attracted by Admiral Scarlet Snake, let's take the other two kids away quickly."
"."
A subtle voice entered Rocks' ears, making Rocks' face change.
Although he didn't master the observation Haki during this period of training, his physical fitness in all aspects has improved a lot, and he can already use the six styles proficiently.
He is sure that this is not the voice of the giants.
Moreover.
Admiral Scarlet Snake?
Is it the admiral he thought of?
Rocks didn't have time to think more, because the children of the Lamb's House were next door to him. He didn't care about other children, but the little devil named Charlotte Lingling was entrusted by Monger himself, and he couldn't afford to lose.
However, before he could do anything, he heard a voice.
"I'm so hungry!"
There was only a loud noise, which made Rocks think that the whole house was going to collapse.
Then he saw.
A figure in a white suit was thrown out of the house like a rag, fell heavily to the ground, rolled more than ten meters, and slid out a long gully on the ground.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What should I do?
Outside the Lamb's House, Rock was lying on the ground in a "big" shape, looking at the branches and leaves of the giant tree covering the night sky, with a look of doubt about life.
Just now, he seemed to want to knock out a little girl from the giant tribe.
But for some reason.
The little girl from the giant tribe shouted and suddenly punched him.
He had been alert outside.
Rock had never thought that a little girl from the giant tribe could pose any threat to him.
But after the fist hit him.
He realized that he was wrong, and very wrong.
Even if he used domineering defense in time.
This punch broke at least three of his ribs!
"Boss!"
"Boss, are you okay?"
Seeing two men running out in a hurry, Rock spat out a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about this kid, let's take the others and retreat first!"
This move just now will definitely attract the giants.
Although the giants have become weak because of the winter solstice festival, the three of them can't beat the giants of a village.
"Did you leave the letter?"
"Yes."
"As long as we avoid the giants' pursuit, the initiative will be in our hands."
Rock's idea is very simple, take the two giant kids out to sea.
As long as they leave Elbaf, no matter how strong the giants' martial virtues are, they can't catch up with them.
At that time, Carmelo can only compromise with what they did.
Fortunately.
There are no other members of the White Wolf Pirates here except the White Wolf Monger.
In the attic.
Watching the three CP0s leave with the two giant children, Rocks did not chase them.
First, he sensed a dangerous aura from those three people. If he showed up now, it might not take long for them to deal with him.
Besides, the other giants had already noticed the movement here, so he didn't need to worry about chasing those CPs.
Second, he noticed something was wrong with Charlotte Lingling.
The little girl in a flowery dress came out of the house.
The aura she exuded made even Rocks a little scared.
"No wonder that old man took a fancy to her."
However, seeing Charlotte Lingling walking towards the forest and sensing the danger in the forest, Rocks jumped down from the attic.
He appeared in front of Charlotte Lingling.
"That's it."
Rocks faced Charlotte Lingling and said coldly.
"Children should stay where children should be, not running around everywhere."
Rocks
didn't finish his words.
Because when he was halfway through his words, he saw Charlotte Lingling's millstone-sized fist.
It hit him.
