Chapter 3: Chapter 03 : Don Krieg & Warning
Dreadnaught Sabre.
That is the name of the main ship of the Don Krieg Pirates, consisting of a huge sailing ship with three decks and the black panther on the bow which is the nightmare of all merchant ships in the nearby waters. There, in the middle of the ship, sitting like a king with a huge gold armor protecting his body, Don Krieg, the captain of the group, grinning widely.
"Boys! We will go to the grand line after this! Our name will definitely resound throughout the world!"
"Oh! Oh!" All of the crew shouted in excitement, making the blood inside Krieg's body boil for a battle. Coincidentally, a moment later, one of his crew ran toward him to inform something.
"Captain, there is a merchant ship ahead."
"Merchant ships?" Krieg grinned, " Nice timing! Boys! There are merchant ships that dare to show up here! Let's have some fun!"
"Oh! Oh!"
It took less than ten minutes for the huge Dreadnaught Sabre to lean against the merchant ship. But even with how slow the ship is, the merchant ship did not dare to turn the rudder and escape.
Don Krieg Pirates, if you encounter them, ordinary merchant ships will not be able to compete with them in horsepower and escape. And if you try to escape, they will kill everyone on board when they catch you up.
Begging for mercy will not be useful, because there are a lot of cold-blooded and brutal men on board besides Krieg. They could just hope that man is not on board today, or not involved in this robbery.
But there is one man inside the merchant ship who doesn't show any hint of nervousness in his eyes. That is Dylan
Dylan squinted at the bewildered and hopeless sailors and merchants while his thought ran wildly. Don Krieg? Has this guy not gone on the grand line yet?
This guy's area of activity was not near Dylan's branch before, so he didn't deliberately look for him. But now when he thinks about it and recalled some information in his head..
East Blue indeed does have the so-called 'number one pirate'.
but······
To call himself the overlord of the East Blue? Or the King of the East Blue? Isn't that a bit arrogant?
Dylan stood up while holding his sword, and the sailors and merchants who were kneeling on the deck next to him screamed in fright when they saw the young man on the boat standing on the bow with a weapon.
"Hey, stranger! Come back quickly, you will kill us like this!"
Dylan tilted his head and thought for a while. "I remember that there was a guy named Gin on his boat. He seemed to be very cruel and never kept alive. Could you just kneel here and pray for your life?"
Hearing the name of Gin, the faces of the people on the deck turned pale for a while, but they still had a little fantasy, "Maybe Gin is not on board today? Stranger, we are kind enough to pick you up, don't you ·······"
"Ah...thank you for giving me a ride, as a thank you gift..."
The eyes of everyone on the merchant ship flashed, and the young man who was standing at the bow disappeared. There was a burst of hope in everyone's heart, but it didn't make the despair feeling disappear!
Because in the east blue, whether it is against other pirates or the navy, the Don Krieg Pirates has never had a defeat. What could one man do against such a powerful group?
…
On the top deck of the Dreadnaught Sabre, Pearl the Iron Wall was banging on the shields on his arms.
"Hey ha ha ha!! This will become Captain's strongest shield!"
"Really? How strong is it?" An indifferent voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.
On the prow of the huge black panther, stood a man wearing white clothes and holding a long sword. His long white hair in a shawl was flying in the wind.
Before anyone could react, Gin came out first and asked, "Who are you?"
With how massive the ship is, anyone who can appear silently at the bow of the ship without anyone noticing is definitely not someone easy to mess with. So, Gin decided to observe this man first before he could make a move. But what comes out of the man's mouth the next shocked the entire crew.
"Adams Dylan, Marine."
"Marine!?"
Only then did Pearl react, and rushed to Dylan with a strange cry, "A mere Marine, how dare you..."
"Chi~"
Dylan gently pushed Shura's blade with the thumb of his left hand, and a red ripple flew out from the blade that was only an inch long.
"A mere... Marine?"
Dylan jumped off the bow and walked past the Pearl who had been split in two from forehead to crotch.
Gin swallowed, a hint of nervousness could be seen on his face. However, he didn't back down and tried to threaten Dylan. "Marine, are you sure you want to be with the King of East Blue? We can destroy you anytime we like!"
"Huh?" Dylan narrowed his eyes, and a gust of wind spread from around Dylan's body, and the surrounding pirates suddenly felt a strong impact, and then felt dizzy for a while.
Then they lost consciousness.
Hundreds of crew members fell to the ground like grass blown by a strong wind. Only Don Krieg and Gin were left on the deck, barely able to stay awake, but already sweating profusely.
"Hey, what's this?" Krieg was wearing golden armor, barely standing upright. A scared feeling creep out of his spine. But his stubbornness wouldn't allow him to give up his life now.
"Don't underestimate us! Marine! I'm..."
But before he could finish what he said, a line of blood flew across, and two human heads flew high.
"A king of East Blue? What a joke"
After jumping to the top of the mast and sticking Crick's head on top, Dylan rejoined the merchant ship.
"Come on, they won't come."
"you······"
Just as the first officer on the merchant ship was about to speak, the pupils of the lookout on the mast shrank, "That's Don Krieg's head! He's dead, he's dead!"
Hearing what the lookout said, the first officer looked in surprise at the indifferent young man in front of him. He did disappear just now, but it wasn't long before Krieg Pirates...
"Set sail! Set sail!"
The sails were slowly raised, and Dylan held the handle of Shura's sword with his right hand as he looked at the Dreadnaught Sabre, which was getting farther and farther away in his sight.
"King of the East Blue?"
A crimson light flew out from the stern of the ship, directly dividing the Dreadnaught Sabre in the distance into two from the bow to the stern.
"East Blue doesn't need anything like this."
The stunned crew members slid down the sloping deck and cabin into the sea like dumplings. On the top of the mast, Don Krieg's head was still looking into the distance with a furious and terrified expression. But that's it. Nothing can be done, as the Don Krieg Pirates now is just become history.
······
Logue Town.
Dylan walked leisurely on the stone road, thinking about his journey. After passing here. After passing here, what awaits him is the reverse mountain.
Of course, he doesn't intend to go through the reverse mountain, as the Marine's unique warship can pass through the Calm Belt.
He's only here to reflect on the past.
"Hey!"
A familiar voice came from behind. When he turned around, he could see "Redhead" Shanks standing alone, a bottle of wine in his hand.
"What a coincidence, I met you here again, are you going to the grand line?"
Shanks looked at the tall and straight Dylan. This young Marine put him under a lot of pressure. Although there was no hand-to-hand exchange between the two, Shanks felt an aura in him that he had never had before.
He feels different from all Marines.
Whether it is Garp's fortitude or Zephyr's determination, they are completely different from him.
Even the newly rising guys like Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu in Marine are fundamentally different from this seemingly indifferent man in terms of aura. He is more like an abyss, deep and steady, but no one knows what is hidden under the abyss.
"It's a coincidence. Are you here to nostalgia? You cried a lot back then when you were here." Dylan glanced at Shanks. He wasn't disgusted by the man, but he didn't really like him either.
It's just that it's not the right time to fight him.
"Back then?"
Shanks froze for a moment, recalling the last time he was here, that day more than ten years ago, his expression fell instantly.
"Ah, it's true. Were you here back then? Judging by your age, you should be in your teens. Back then..."
Shanks looked up, "Haven't you thought about going to sea?"
"Go to sea?"
Dylan pressed Shura's sword handle, and gave Shanks a meaningful look, "Are you a pirate?"
Hearing Dylan's bad tone, Shanks smiled and said, "Being a pirate doesn't mean anything bad, you know? It just means we value our freedom the most."
But right after he finished his sentence, the temperature suddenly dropped as Dylan's gaze penetrated his soul.
"Once a criminal will always be a criminal!" Dylan coldly interrupted Shanks, "It doesn't matter if it's a bandit, a pirate, or a thief. A criminal is a criminal! A person who blindly pursues his own 'freedom' and preys on the weak, no matter what he thinks, no matter how much he dreams, he cannot change the fact that he is a 'thief'!"
"Don't talk to me about freedom, because your so-called freedom.." The air around Dylan began to twist. "It's built on the pain of the weak!"
A streak of black lightning visible to the naked eye rushed out of Dylan's surroundings.
"You!"
Shanks' pupils shrank, and the same black lightning burst out from his body. When the two auras collided, the dark clouds in the sky swirled. When the aura of the two dissipated, some small cracks appeared on the surrounding walls.
"This is a peaceful town, and I have no plans to fight you for the time being, but 'redhead'..." Dylan looked at Shanks sharply.
"Don't cross the line, otherwise, not only will the new era not have your boat, but your 'dream'... I will also kill it with my own hands."
After Dylan left, Benn Beckman and others approached from the street. The big meaty legs that Lucky Roux had been holding all the time were gone, and Yasopp was holding his gun tightly.
"What a horrible guy..."
Yasopp glanced at the corner, "Is he, the one who possessed conqueror haki and cultivated it to such a degree... really a Marine?"
