Chapter 245: The Divergence of the Straw Hat Pirates

Everyone's eyes widened.

The Wave Breath, which an ordinary person with no hidden depths or ulterior motives should have been unable to perceive, descended into reality at this moment without reservation.

This was the strongest item Hongfa Xiangkesi had purchased within the Game House.

It was the Dark Wave Domain that could only be released by an Ashura who had cultivated Wave to the extreme, an Ashura known as 【Great Dark Heaven】.

A single-use item.

Tens of thousands of Reward Points, capable of being released only once, and with an extremely harsh price; a moment of carelessness would lead to a backlash and death.

Under this domain,

All Wave power would be amplified, even possessing the formidable ability to shatter space and time.

"Are you joking?"

"How could a mere two hundred thousand Reward Points be this strong?"

Kizaru, who had been sent flying by the Wave explosion, had a dull look in his eyes, as if stunned.

The Navy soldiers looked at each other in dismay.

Their advancing footsteps faltered; this disaster-level terrifying power was no weaker than the WordSpirit storm summoned by the Leader of the Revolutionary Army.

In the game, one could still resurrect after being hit by such a terrifying skill,

But this was the real world; after one strike, nothing would remain. Even the most loyal Navy soldiers understood the disparity in combat power.

Vice Admiral Tsuru reacted quickly, looking at the low morale of the Navy, and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid! Hongfa Xiangkesi's state cannot be maintained for long!"

She had exchanged for a perception-type game ability.

She could clearly perceive that this dark Wave sweeping through the space was very unstable, clearly because Hongfa Xiangkesi had not yet adapted to it.

"That's right. Just like the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, this power requires overdrawing my life and soul. It cannot be maintained for long, but it is enough to destroy the Hai Jun Zu Bei. Who among you can stop me?"

Hongfa Xiangkesi, in the state of the Dark Heaven Wave Eye, heard Vice Admiral Tsuru's shout and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He had no time to waste,

Because forcing the activation of a skill that only the Great Dark Heaven could release while in the state of an Ashura caused his health points to drop crazily.

"Hongfa Xiangkesi, do you also want to make this sea unable to have peace?"

Sengoku's voice came out from the Den Den Mushi.

He could not believe it.

Judging from the countless data collected by the Navy Intelligence Department, the possibility of Hongfa Xiangkesi being an enemy of the Navy was almost negligible.

But now, he had unexpectedly become the greatest threat to the Navy family.

"After the Samsara Game appeared, this sea was destined to never have peace!"

Hongfa Xiangkesi raised Griffin and kept walking toward the Navy family stone monument.

Bang.

Five Demon Locking Chains extended, rushing toward Hongfa Xiangkesi like five golden long dragons.

Previously, Hongfa Xiangkesi's strongest Wave Jiangji had been shattered by one Demon Locking Chain, and now there were five in total.

This meant that the current Hongfa Xiangkesi posed five times the threat to the Demon Locking Tower than before.

In Vice Admiral Tsuru's delighted gaze,

The five Demon Locking Chains tightly bound Hongfa Xiangkesi, wanting to drag him into the Demon Locking Tower.

"Hongfa Xiangkesi, surrender!"

Fearing complications, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who held the advantage, urged him to surrender.

Bound, Hongfa Xiangkesi had red Waves rippling crazily around him, Wave sword energy spraying from the Wave Eye on the ground, Wave wings flapping behind his back, and countless Bo Dong Chang Qiang appearing above his head.

Countless Wave Breaths constantly emerged, striking the Demon Locking Chains, and actually began to shake the Golden Quality Demon Locking Chains.

Hongfa Xiangkesi's gaze was like a torch as he said, "Vice Admiral Tsuru, although the Demon Locking Chains are very powerful, their level must be very low, right?"

"Do you also want to carve up the sea, Hongfa Xiangkesi?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not answer directly.

The other party was right; wanting to upgrade the Demon Locking Chains required not only a large amount of Reward Points but also the collection of countless precious materials. The Navy family had just been founded, and a pile of places were waiting to use Reward Points; there were simply no extra assets to upgrade the Demon Locking Chains.

She was thinking about Hongfa Xiangkesi's purpose in being an enemy of the Navy.

Whether it was the Revolutionary Army, the Whitebeard Pirates, or those scattered Pirates, fighting the Navy was to weaken the Navy's military force.

Furthermore, it was to show the whole world a military force capable of contending with the overlords, thereby attracting the participation of ambitious people from all over the world.

"Carve up the sea?"

While speaking, one chain had already been snapped by Hongfa Xiangkesi. He said, "I have thought it through clearly. I am unwilling to associate with those evil Pirates anymore. This sea does not need Pirates who incite chaos and slaughter."

A moment of silence.

Whether it was the Navy who had taken the initiative to question him, or the Revolutionary Army and Pirates who were constantly maneuvering not far away, all looked at the person who said this sentence with Weirdness.

The former crew member of Pirate King Roger, the youngest Pirate Emperor, actually said that this ocean did not need Pirates and did not want to associate with Pirates?

"Did I hear wrong?"

"Pirate Four Emperors Hongfa Xiangkesi, is he going to surrender to the Navy?"

"This world is truly crazy!"

In the Si Hai and the Grand Line, all the spectators watching this battle could not believe it.

Those oppressed commoners could not understand, only feeling that this Pirate Emperor had gone crazy.

The Pirates, however, were examining Hongfa Xiangkesi with the eyes of a traitor.

These Pirates were all ambitious people who considered themselves extraordinary, hiding from the Navy's pursuit on one hand, while on the other hand, they disdained the bugs who associated with the Navy.

Looking at Hongfa Xiangkesi making such a statement, there was more mockery and disgust.

"Luffy?"

Inside Syrup Village,

after effortlessly defeating the Pirate Kelu who had disguised himself as a butler, Luffy, who had been full of excitement while holding a banquet at Keya's home,

suddenly fell silent upon hearing Shanks's statement from the Image Den Den Mushi.

"It is truly shocking that Shanks would actually say something like that."

Zoro, however, did not feel much, picking up a thick wine glass and downing it in one gulp.

He was willing to join the Straw Hat Pirates because he was infected by Luffy's will, wanting to adventure with his Captain and become the strongest Sword Master.

However,

this did not mean he had changed his perception of Pirates; having once made a living hunting Pirates and having been a Hunter, he knew very well that most Pirates were just evil criminals with no possibility of redemption, and that sending them all to Hell was the best outcome.

Only the Straw Hat Pirates were different.

"Most Pirates are indeed just guys who cause chaos!"

Nami's eyes shone as she nodded while counting the reward the sickly beauty Keya had given the Straw Hat Pirates.

Having been oppressed by the Arlong Pirates for many years, Nami naturally would not have a good impression of Pirates.

Just like Zoro,

she was willing to join the Straw Hat Pirates because Luffy's Pirate will was different from the Pirates she had always encountered.

They could not be called Pirates at all.

"Although I don't understand, whether it's Pirates or something else, can you let Lord Usopp join?"

Wrapped in bandages from head to toe and looking almost like a rice dumpling, Usopp shouted.

At the very beginning, the Straw Hat Pirates displayed powerful strength, which made the butler Kelu wary, so he did not turn hostile, but instead intended to coax them into leaving as soon as possible after treating them with a warm attitude.

It was Usopp who risked his life to reveal the truth.

These injuries were left behind from that time.

Bang.

A fist slammed heavily onto the tabletop, shaking various foods and drinks so that they spilled onto the floor.
