Chapter XXIV
Seven days later.
Chambord Islands.
Xia Qi's Rip Off Bar.
Raley was sitting in front of the bar, shaking the small silver wine jug in his hand and reading the newspaper in front of him. It was today's newspaper.
"Ala, Riley, you're back. Don't you need to train with Little Monchi?”Xia Qi came out of the room behind the bar and was surprised to see Riley.
"Ah, I don't have anything else to give him. He can only rely on himself from now on.”Riley laughed, obviously satisfied with Luffy's progress.
In just a year, he could already use Tricolored Tyrannical Qi freely, and he had even developed the fruit to a new level. There was not much he could teach anymore. He had to rely on Luffy to comprehend and train himself to push the Fruit Tyrannical Qi Body Art to a new height.
"Then I'll take my leave first, Xia Qi." Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Riley smiled and walked out with the silver wine pot.
"Seriously, are we going to play the slave auction game again? You're being targeted by the navy now.”Xia Qi exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said unhappily,""I've seen many navy soldiers monitoring the situation over the past two days.”
"Sorry, sorry." Raley waved his hand with his back facing him."At this point in time, the navy won't spend too much effort to make things difficult for a retired old man.”
"A retired old man like you has jumped out to stand at the forefront of the storm in recent years.”Xia Qi ridiculed with a smile, but soon, her eyelids drooped slightly and her voice became serious."Aren't you going to take a look? They could be considered old acquaintances. There were not many people left from that era.”
Raley's figure paused at the door, and the smile on his face disappeared. The round frame lenses reflected the dazzling light under the sun, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
" Times are moving forward, and wills are being passed down. In the wave that Roger stirred up twenty years ago, the old era has been covered by the new era. This is the path of pirates. Roger, White Beard, Walter, and the current me are just remnants of the old era. They should have left early. Kaido, Big Mom, it's only a matter of time. Xia Qi, the era that belongs to us has passed.”
The voice became softer and softer because the person who spoke had already walked away.
"I lost to Flowing Time in the end." Xia Qi sighed and flicked the cigarette ash onto the newspaper. On the newspaper, there was a large picture of the bounty poster with a small black hole between the eyebrows of the person who had been burned by the cigarette ash. It looked just like the headline.
"The World Destroyer Bondivald has been surrounded by Admiral Sakasugi. Ten large warships with firepower comparable to the Demon Slayer Token.”
"After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Wald Pirates are at the end of their rope. The navy's victory is only a matter of time.”
"After White Beard, another great legend of the old era is about to fall, and a new era of pirates has begun.”
………
The same newspaper appeared in Noah's hands.
Even though the newspapers were boasting about the navy, Noah could still see that something was wrong in the picture. Out of the ten warships, only one was left in the picture. Besides Red Hound, the other two vice-admirals, Mole and Huoshan, were all in a sorry state.
"You're quite capable, Walter.”Noah smiled.
However, the navy was in a sorry state, and Walter's side probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long. After all, he was almost 80 years old. The cannon battle was powerful, but the threat was limited to the real strong. If it really came to a battle, Walter's current body wouldn't be a match for the Red Hound.
After all, Walter wasn't a white-bearded man. Even if he was old and crippled, he could still erupt with power that would shock the world.
"Don't die, Walter." Noah's deep gaze pierced through the sea, as if he had already seen another battlefield.
。。。。。。
In the Chambord archipelago sea area, near the former navy headquarters, Marlinfundo, and also not far from the Holy Land of Mary, a large-scale naval battle had already begun.
The admiral of the navy headquarters led two lieutenant generals and ten large warships of the highest standard Demon Slayer Order level to fight against a pirate ship under the command of the world destroyer Bondivald.
Anyone would think that the navy had the upper hand in the huge disparity between the two fleets, and that was what the report said.
Even Chi Quan had the same thought before he came. A 78-year-old pirate who had been sealed in ice for 30 years and had just come out, what power could he have? How much strength could he have left?
But in fact, just as Noah had predicted, Walter had taught the Red Hound a good lesson.
Ten high-level naval warships against one pirate ship.
Walter had destroyed nine battleships in the naval battle. Only the flagship that the Red Hound was in was not destroyed because of its powerful strength.
"Damned Bondivald, how dare you cause so much trouble for the execution of justice.”Chi Quan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Nine Demon Slayer Token level warships, each of which cost more than the cost of the Peacekeepers. Even the navy felt a little distressed.
Now, the Red Hound finally knew how Bondiwalde managed to defeat the navy and pirate coalition forces with the Sengoku and Karp.
The Momo Fruit, coupled with the ship's cannon, was simply too powerful.
The cannon had a destructive range of a few kilometers, comparable to the ancient weapon Hades. If it was hit, even a battleship would be shattered.
"Speed up and charge forward. We can't let him fire without restraint anymore.”The red dog roared.
With such a huge loss this time, he could already see the faces of those old men from the World Government.
"Marshal." Mole frowned and wanted to dissuade him. The power of the previous cannonball was too terrifying. Even as a lieutenant general, he was too powerless in front of those experts of the older generation.
If they really got close, with the power of the cannonball, even the marshal would not feel good at close range.
"Valololo, Marshal Sakasugi? Was this the new era's admiral? He was really a brat who was still wet behind the ears. He was far from being comparable to Karp and the others.”Walter stood in front of the huge cannon at the bow of the ship and panted as he looked at the only naval warship left in the distance.
"Momo, ten times faster." Walter placed his hands under his feet and roared when he saw Red Hound charging at him with the main ship.
Their cannons had a longer range and were extremely powerful. Naturally, they would not shoot at the red hound at close range. The best way was to widen the distance. Moreover, with his Momo ability, there were not many ships in the world that could catch up to him.
"Cough, cough, cough." Unfortunately, the fruit's ability was not activated. Walter coughed violently and spat out a large pool of blood.
"Walter, you can't continue. Controlling such a large ship is a huge burden on your body. Your physical strength has reached its limit.”Jack Bin urged anxiously.
If Walter had been young, it would have been fine, but the current Walter could not take it anymore. The damage to his body after 30 years of ice was unimaginable.
The giant cannon, which had been forcefully holding on to its ability to increase its speed by a hundred times, had long reached its limit. It was just that it had almost reached the point where it could not hold on any longer.
