Chapter 57: A Battle Sparked by a Fish-Man Misunderstanding – The Beasts Pirates and the Roger Pirates
Mid-March of the 1493rd year of the Haiyuan Calendar.
The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago
"I already told you, you got lost, you idiot Kaido!!"
"Enough with the chit-chat! I just happened to be attracted by something new and interesting!"
"What's so attractive? You just want to have some fun, right?!"
In Tree Zone 1, Bazel squinted as he walked in the middle of the avenue.
"We could have gotten here a month ago, but it's all your fault for running around and causing us to get lost in the Calm Belt!"
"The plans have been completely ruined! How can you be a captain like this?!"
"Don't be as long-winded as an old woman, Bazel!"
Kaido covered his face in exasperation.
"Making a mistake once in a while is normal. Besides, I'm the captain!"
Just as Bazeir was about to say something, a fire dragon suddenly rose up from the horizon.
"Kaido, that aura—is it Abel?"
Kaido's hangover expression vanished, replaced by a gleam of thick red light in his eyes.
"It's Jhin. Looks like he's fighting with someone. Let's go check it out!"
When Bazel picked up Tengetsu, Enel was carrying her on his shoulder.
"This is just in time! Finally, I can get some exercise!"
Tree No. 16
"You're no match for me, Jhin."
Standing in front of the fishman Tom, Silvers Rayleigh sheathed his sword and stood with a playful smile.
"Young people, this ocean is not yet your domain. We, the older generation, are still in our prime."
"If you want to fight the Roger Pirates, send your captain here in person!"
"Hey, Rayleigh, you're so arrogant!"
Not far away, Jaba, who was watching the show, put his hands to his mouth and made a megaphone shape to hiss loudly.
"Bullying a 17-year-old, eh? Rayleigh is the worst!"
The other members of Roger's crew also booed loudly upon seeing this.
"That's right, that's right, Rayleigh is terrible!"
"Rayle is terrible!"
"Terrible!"
Several veins bulged on Rayleigh's forehead:
"Hey you guys, I'm the first mate!!"
"Hey Roger, stop sleeping there! Control your crew! You're the captain, aren't you?!"
boo~
The bubbles in his nose burst, and Roger opened his sleepy eyes:
"Now you remember I'm the captain? When you were hitting me, why didn't you ever remember I was the captain?"
Hahaha~~~
The Roger Pirates burst into laughter, but the relaxed atmosphere made him feel a surge of resentment.
"Give Mr. Tom back! Is your Roger Pirates trying to declare war on the Beasts Pirates?!"
Before Rayleigh could speak, Roger sat up.
"Kid, Tom is a good friend of the Roger Pirates. If you leave here, I can pretend you never kidnapped Tom."
"Wait, Roger, Rayleigh, that's not it—."
Tom was eager to explain something, but Ridley stopped him by raising his hand.
"I understand, no explanation needed. Our captain is a brute who dared to go head-to-head with even that Rocks guy. A mere Beasts Pirates crew..."
It's not something we should be afraid of.
"Just a mere Beasts Pirates crew?"
Chi lowered his head, and the features behind the mask suddenly turned ferocious.
"I must say, you humans are really arrogant. Since that's the case, I'll show you the true power of the Beast Pirates."
We humans?
Roger, who was watching the battle, raised an eyebrow and instantly activated his ability to hear the voice of all things.
"I see. I knew your voice was strange; it turns out you're from a special race—"
"Emperor Yan!"
Countless fireballs, each half the size of a person, shot out from the raging flames.
Rayleigh simply moved his feet and casually swung his sword a few times, shattering the fireball.
"Not enough, not enough! Is this all the power you have?"
"Don't expect us to be impressed with that!"
"Fire Dragon Emperor!!"
The unwavering belief in victory converged on the flame-wreathed blade, and the ashes transformed into a fiery dragon that soared into the sky.
"Go to hell!"
Several fire dragons split off from the main body and attacked the enemy from different directions.
Rayleigh's eyes widened suddenly, and an extraordinary aura of dominance burst forth from his body.
The approaching fire dragon was slain by the powerful blade.
"I said..."
Whoosh—
Rayleigh arrived late but struck first, just as he was about to unleash his slash.
A figure also carrying flames attacked from afar, its fist crackling with black and red lightning more conspicuous than anything else.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you trying to do to my cute little brother?!"
Entanglement?!
Rayleigh's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew the blade he was about to unleash, using it to block in front of his chest.
The next moment!
Bazel has appeared!
Fist and blade collided in mid-air, and black and red lightning sparked out in layers of shockwaves.
"Bazel!" Ember's eyes lit up with surprise.
"Jin, go over there and keep an eye on things. I'll handle this guy. Kaido's here too."
"Oh, the real enemy has arrived."
Roger hurriedly got up, brushed the dirt off his buttocks, and suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the sky.
you-.-
"I remember you, you were an apprentice on the Rocks, right?"
"Hee-ho-ho-ho, I am Kaido!"
Kaido descended from the sky and forcefully pressed down on his spiked club, the black and red lightning on it clashing with Roger's Conqueror's Haki.
The ground exploded with a deafening roar!
Roger had half his body buried in the ground, but his expression remained serious.
I'm filled with excitement.
"Since you're the captain, then my actions aren't considered bullying the weak. Get out of my way, Jabba!"
"This guy is my prey!!"
"cut-."
Jabba's lips twitched down, and he took a few steps back.
"Damn it, I was a step too late. But it's alright, I'll take Rayleigh's place as your opponent, that special race person!"
"Jin, you deal with him, I'll handle this guy."
The Conqueror's Haki was still locked in a struggle, and Bazel glared at Rayleigh, his fighting spirit ignited.
"Kaido and I were lost for ages. We finally got a chance to fight, and it was against monsters from the old era."
"Hahaha~~ I've always dreamed of having a big fight with the Roger Pirates!"
Buzz--! !
Conqueror's Haki is activated.
"My name is Bazel! You're Rayleigh, right?!"
Rayleigh's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of admiration.
"Since you knew it was me, and yet you still dared to challenge me, young man, I admire your courage."
Ri's expression changed, revealing a chilling and murderous aura.
"Courage won't get you out of here. Let me show you true courage!"
Sensing that the other party's domineering aura was even stronger than his own, Bazel's eyes grew increasingly excited.
"That's right, that's right, that's right!"
"That's it!"
"Let's fight!"
Take two steps back, take your hands out of your clothes, cross them above your head, and then slide them down your chest.
Reddish-gold scales floated on the surface of its body.
"Second Gear - Fiery Lava Body!"
The seven phantom serpent spirits were swallowed, while the remaining three burrowed into the ground beneath their feet.
Facing the renowned and still-in-its-prime Silvers Reilly, Bazel dared not relax in the slightest.
"Awaken, Shadow of Orochi!"
The earth emitted several heart-like thumps before quietly disappearing.
Rayleigh frowned and looked down at his feet.
He always felt that something had happened to the earth that he didn't know about.
"Kaido!"
Kaido, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Roger, took a moment to reply:
"What is it now? I'm fighting right now, stop nagging. You're just as long-winded as the old woman back home!"
"It's not that!"
Bazel stared at the enemy, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"Let's make a big splash before heading to the new world!"
"Whether we can win or not, let's fight first!"
Kaido's eyes lit up not far away: "Just what I wanted! Clang, Clang, Thunder Bagua!"
"Why issue a challenge if you know you'll lose?"
Rayleigh didn't rush to make a move, but looked at Bazel with curiosity.
"You don't actually think I'd go easy on you, do you?"
"The reason I have the title of Hades is because I have killed everyone who dared to attack me."
"They thought I was delivering tickets to hell and the underworld, which is why I got that nickname."
"Go easy on me? I don't need that kind of thing."
Bazel clenched his fists, his breath filled with sparks.
"I need to fight to become stronger, that's all."
"The New World is a place where people eat people. If my fists aren't strong enough, I'll be treated like fish paste and rotten meat, then eaten by those who come looking for my scent."
"This is the Beasts Pirates' last stop in Paradise, so—"
Bazel tensed his right leg muscles, stomped forward, and his entire body transformed into a blurry ball of fire as he charged out.
"Don't disappoint me, Rayleigh!"
