Chapter 8: Chapter 8
"Gomu Gomu no Whip!"
"Ittoryū • Remnant Heart!"
"Santoryū • Toro Nagashi!"
In the face of the navy rushing towards them, the three of them showed their might, punching and slashing, injuring many people.
"Rubber...a contortionist?!"
"They are not ordinary people at all!"
"Also, we can't win over Roronoa Zoro alone!"
"My God, the other one is actually a [Sword Demon]!"
"What did you say?!"
"We have no chance of winning!"
Originally, the East Blue navy's combat effectiveness was average, seeing the three of them being so powerful, they were even less motivated to fight, and the mention of the name "Sword Demon" made them tremble even more.
Seeing his subordinates being beaten and losing their heads, Morgan's face turned grim: "I ordered that soldiers who just showed weakness should all shoot themselves… I don't need such useless subordinates!"
"It's an order!"
Soldiers considered it their duty to obey orders, and the navy had pointed their rifles at their foreheads one after another.
Zoro waved three swords: "These marines... have a problem with their brains!"
"No matter how many, we are the enemy of the Marines!"
Before Zoro could move, Luffy had already rushed over with his fist waving, and slammed his fist towards Morgan, who was blocked with his axe.
"Luffy! Quickly destroy a navy like that!" Coby shouted.
"A man without title and reputation is not qualified to fight the Captain! I am hatchet-handed Morgan!" Morgan said, taking off his cloak, exposing the muscles bound up on his upper body, Then he slashed at Luffy With an Axe.
Luffy was agile like a monkey and jumped straight in, dodging the axe, but the ax hit the railing behind Luffy, cutting him in half.
After dodging this punch, Luffy rolled at a low altitude, and his legs stretched and kicked directly at Morgan's face. Morgan's whole body lost its balance and fell backwards, landing.
After receiving such a huge humiliation, Morgan was naturally angry, and stood up straight, with blue veins on his face, and he almost used all his strength to slam the ax on Luffy.
"Santoryū • Onigiri!"
At this critical moment, Zoro's three swords surged with cold light, and they directly attacked...
"Ittoryū • Shushō!"
The faint sword intent on Kondo's Zanpakutō seems to condense into a line, and he shoots almost simultaneously with Zoro.
The two swordsmen were on the left and one on the right. Morgan couldn't hold back, his chest and stomach split open, he spit out a mouthful of old blood, and fainted.
"Zoro?"
"Nothing, Captain!"
Seeing the Captain defeated, not only did the marines not take up arms to fight, but they were immediately happy, and they cheered like they were celebrating a festival.
It turned out that all this time, everyone had lived under Morgan's cruelty and dared not get angry and dare not speak.
At this time, Zoro suddenly fell to the ground - he had not eaten for nine days, and he was so hungry that he had no strength...
Inside the little girl's restaurant.
"Haha, I'm really full. I haven't eaten for a long time. It's almost its limit."
At this moment, Zoro, who was using a toothpick, touched his stomach and showed a satisfied smile.
Luffy's mouth hasn't stopped yet, and there are still grains of rice hanging from the corners of his mouth: "So you can't last a month at all."
Zoro: "More importantly, Why do you eat more than me?"
Seeing that the plate beside Luffy was taller than Zoro, Kondo had an "I totally agree with you" expression.
"By the way, where are we going next?" Zoro asked the captain directly about his future goals.
Luffy didn't hesitate: "We're Going to the Grand Line!"
Hearing this, Coby couldn't help but grumble: "What?! You're saying crazy things again! It's just the three of you, going to the Grand Line would be suicide! Did you know that the Grand Line is the gathering center for pirates in the whole world?!"
"But if you want to get One Piece, we have to go to that place"
"Zoro-san, are you crazy too?!"
Kondo rested his Zanpakutō on his shoulders and chuckled: "If the enemy is really that strong, then the only way to get stronger is to fight them. Also, you're not coming? Why are you so flustered?"
"Kondo-san, even you ..." Coby said, more and more resigned, and stood up straight from the chair: "Even if I don't go, I'm going to warn you! Can't I?! What's wrong with me warning you?!"
Kondo's head broke out in cold sweat: "No, and also if I don't meet this stupid rubber boy, I will still go to the Grand Line to fight strong people"
Then, Coby turned to Luffy and blushed a little: "Luffy-san, Kondo-san, even if our meeting was only for a short time, I hope we will be friends forever!"
Luffy smiled innocently: "Yes, even if we are far apart, we will still be friends!"
When Coby heard this, he also showed a very bright smile.
In this way, Coby joined branch 153 and became a marine utility soldier, Kondo and Zoro set out for the Grand Line to help Luffy realize his dream.
The three of them were in a small wooden boat with little space. Of course, Luffy, a rubber idiot, felt that it didn't matter, and Kondo, as Vice-Captain, wanted to consider getting a slightly bigger Ship.
"Hey, at this rate, I'm going to starve to death!" Luffy started screaming hunger again before he left Shells Town, as if his stomach would never be full.
When the sea was calm, the three of them took turns rowing, and when the wind fell, they pulled up the sails and went downwind.
However, the three of them were almost all street idiots, and they found their way completely by feeling.
"You are weird, you want to be a pirate but you don't know how to navigate at all" Zoro started complaining to the captain.
Luffy looked unsure so: "Why? I just have to sail with the wind"
Kondo: "Besides the Navigator, we also need a big ship, I can't practice like this, it's too cramped"
Luffy: "Yeah, I have to find musicians. Pirates have to sing."
Zoro: "I think it's more important to have a navigator."
"You're right." Kondo nodded, if there wasn't the Navigator, I'm sure at the worst time, we would have strayed into the marine base.
"I am very hungry!" At this moment, not only Luffy, but the stomachs of the three of them started screaming, and the three of them fell on the deck in the same posture.
"I'm starting to think that having a chef is the most reliable."
"Same feeling."
A small wooden boat was sailing on the sea, and Kondo saw a small island a few nautical miles away.
"This island looks like a forest, it seems uninhabited," Kondo said to the two.
Luffy licked his lips: "How can we say that, do we have anything to eat?"
Zoro: "Do you understand what that means, it's a forest with no people, let alone a restaurant."
Kondo: "Not necessarily, we can go hunting."
"Well, that's what I said."
While some people were talking, a pirate ship passed in front of them, it seemed that it also found them.
The pirate ship was getting closer and closer to them, and the pirate flag had two pointed fists under the horrible skull.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zoro clenched the hilt of his sword, stared ahead, and muttered: "Ghost Fist Pirates, Ghost Fist Gary Captain, the bounty is 6.2 million Berries!"
Zoro said in a few words an overview of the pirate group in front of him.
As pirate hunters once feared and famous in East Blue, despite not knowing their way around, the Pirates on this list and their pirate flags are well known in East Blue.
The pirate ship gradually approached and shouted at the ship: "Everyone on board listen! Dutifully put down the valuables, raise your hands and surrender! Otherwise, don't blame us for shooting you guys!"
Luffy's eyes suddenly became dignified, his palms and fists came together, and he cracked his knuckles: "It seems that it is not good."
Seeing this, Kondo with his Zanpakutō on his shoulder, and smiled dangerously: "This time, we can make a lot of money..."
Zoro also smiled: "I see what you mean."
Luffy tilted his head and said "Making money? You mean there's a lot of good food on that ship, right..."
Seeing the three people on the boat, they didn't mean to give up obediently. Instead, they waited in full force. Several pirates stood at the bow of the pirate ship opposite, and they took their rifles and aimed at the people in the boat.
"Hmph, dare to resist, you are courting death!" A middle-aged man with a beard on the bow, holding a battle axe, ordered the pirates to shoot.
The jet-black muzzle gave off a hint of light, and bullets shot out like locusts. On the boat, Kondo and Zoro were already hiding behind Luffy, looking at the tightly fired bullets, with calm expressions on their faces.
"Gomu Gomu no Fuusen!"
Luffy's body rapidly swelled up, forming a flesh shield in front of Kondo and Zoro, which not only blocked all the bullets, but also reflected them back.
How could the pirates who fired their guns at the bow just now have anticipated this situation? Nine out of ten bullets that bounced back at them.
"That person is a devil fruit power user!"
Seeing this scene, the other pirates became a bit riotous.
Zoro draws his sword from its scabbard, and the two of them run into the enemy boat.
Kondo followed quickly, and boarded the ship to cut down the pirates.
The robbery could not be carried out, but instead he was beaten like this, the angry mustache beard flew, he was carrying a battle axe, and was intent on fighting Zoro.
At this point, the pirates on board had lost half of their total numbers, and the captain, who didn't take the three of them seriously, finally came out of the cabin.
The captain, Gary the Ghost Fist, his face was pale at this moment: "I just took a nap, the ship became like this, bastard!"
"Yeah...sorry, Captain! Woohoo!"
In the face of these pirates in the fifth battle, Luffy came and fought, and he punched one by one, like carrying bean paste.
Luffy stood opposite him, Gary's face was already full of anger, watching his own people being beaten by the three, he couldn't help tightening the gloves on his hands - two gloves covered with thorns.
Luffy looked at him with a surprised expression: "Wow! You have so many spikes in your fist, it's scary!"
Hearing his words, Gary couldn't help laughing and crying: "It's a waste to be praised by an idiot like you." After speaking, he raised his fist and made a loud cracking sound, smashing it into Luffy.
Luffy showed no weakness, his hand immediately stretched out: "Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
The two fists collided, and even though the strength was equal, Luffy took a heavy loss and screamed in pain.
The spikes on Gary's gloves are made of pig iron and are very sharp, melee attacks are not like bullets, and Luffy's blood remains on his fists.
"Damn it hurts!!"
Luffy, a single-celled creature, seems to have a shorter memory than a fish. He immediately forgot about the pain and raised his fist to meet her again. At this time, a man suddenly came and blocked him.
Holding a drawn Zanpakutō and traces of blood on the blade, it was Kondo.
"Stupid rubber, if you die, none of us will go to the Grand Line. Zoro and I have no interest in One Piece."
What Kondo meant was that Gary's gauntlet was enough to render Luffy's Devil Fruit useless, if he struggled, Luffy would only suffer more losses.
"Leave this idiot to me, go and clean up the ants behind it." As soon as Kondo finished speaking, he rushed over with a sword.
"You bastard who doesn't know how to live or die, how dare you underestimate me ?!" Seeing Kondo attack so confidently, Gary shouted angrily and raised his fist to greet him.
Where fist and sword intersected, flames radiated everywhere.
At this time, Gary's expression suddenly froze, as if thinking of something: "You... are you [Sword Demon]?"
Recently, [Sword Demon]'s reputation was huge, and he "slaughtered villages" and killed marines, and commanded 5 million Berries that were sought after and famous throughout East Blue so it was hard not to know.
When Kondo heard the words, it was like false praise to himself: "That's true, but you will die here soon!"
"Hey, don't be complacent, my bounty is 1 million higher than yours!"
After all, the two were facing each other again.
Gary was worthy of being called [Ghost Fist]. In an instant, he fought Kondo five or six times, and there was a "ding ding ding dong" sound in the void.
A faint sword intent condensed on Kondo's sword, and the next moment he released it: "Ittoryū • Shushō!"
A small piece of the surrounding atmosphere split slightly, and this slash directly smashed Gary's chest.
In this attack, Kondo was slightly aware of the change in his attack, Kondo grinned slightly and in an instant the temperature on the ship started to rise, from less than 30 degrees to 70 degrees, and Gary had been slashed with his Zanpakutō whose temperature was 70 degrees, he must have been burning. now.
Gary's wound was burning with pain, and he reached out to touch the blood flowing from his chest and stomach, feeling a little strange.
'Is this the power of the [Sword Demon]? And also why is it so hot today?' Just when Gary was scared, Kondo looked at his Panel and saw a change.
{Template: Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni}
{Process: 7.5%}
{Zanpakutō: Ryūjin Jakka, Shikai (Sealed), Bankai (Sealed)}
{Kido: Hado#1-Hado#10 Bakudo#1-Bakudo#10}
{Hakuda: Ikkotsu (Locked) Sōkotsu (Locked)}
{Hohō: Shunpo (Unlocked)}
{Zanjutsu: Rhino Strike, Remnant Heart, Shushō}
Kondo now understood, training and fighting would speed up his Template Extraction process, and it was also no wonder he felt his Reiatsu increase after beating up marines and pirates.
'Only 2.5% but the increase in strength is the same as training for more than 1 week, I don't know what kind of strength I will get when I reach 100%' Kondo thought while grinning, then he looked at Gary who was shocked and confused.
It seemed that Gary the Ghost Fist was completely exhausted.
Even though Gary was seriously injured, He was still too fast to fall, and he used all of his body strength to throw a punch.
Kondo who saw him with an unchanged expression, he injected his Reiatsu into his Zanpakutō and made a small fire appear on his Zanpakutō. Not waiting for the opponent's reaction, Kondo immediately cut Gary's hand and made the blood that touched his Zanpakutō immediately evaporate because of the high temperature fire in his Zanpakutō.
"Shit, it's so hot!!" Gary didn't give up and swung his other fist at Kondo, Kondo just raised his hand and the index and middle fingers of his right hand pointed at him like a sword.
"Hado#4: Byakurai!"
