Chapter 173: Overlord's Haki (3k)

John lowered the lifeboat and jumped down impatiently; he rowed the oars in a flustered and strenuous manner, wanting to escape the main ship as quickly as possible, but after sailing only a few hundred meters, he collided head-on with a similarly small sampan.

He saw that the guy on the opposite sampan had a relaxed smile on his face, as if he couldn't perceive the danger in this sea area at all, and was actually heading toward the G51 Branch warship; he had intended to ignore the other party, but for some reason, he spoke up on an impulse.

"Hey!"

"You'd better steer clear of that ship..."

Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the other party to offer a kind warning, which surprised him so much that the hand he had just gestured to raise slowly lowered, and while he was pondering, the massive shadow of the Navy warship had already enveloped his small sampan.

Bai Cangshu looked back and saw the lifeboat that had already sailed far away, thinking to himself that the guy's luck was truly not bad.

Bai Cangshu stomped his foot, the small sampan sank into the water, and he himself leaped dozens of meters in an instant, arriving on top of the Navy warship.

Bai Cangshu's footwork was extremely light; the Marines on the deck were still in shock at this moment, many of them at a loss due to the destruction of the fleet, waiting for orders from their superior.

Bai Cangshu's figure flashed, and he had already entered the cabin from the deck.

Brina's face was pale, and the other Navy officers were also staring at the flashing electric light before them, their bodies stiff.

Everyone was worried that in the next moment, that terrifying thunder capable of piercing Heaven and Earth would descend upon their heads.

They were as stiff as if they were stepping on a landmine, not daring to move.

Knock, knock.

The sound of knocking suddenly rang out, startling everyone and causing them to turn their heads subconsciously.

They saw a black-haired man with a lean build and a heroic face standing at the doorway, a strange smile on his face.

"Yo, everyone, you're not busy, are you?"

Bai Cangshu saw the blue-white electric light but did not feel overly wary.

He knew that Enel would soon stop paying attention to him and the others.

"I would like to requisition this ship from you, how about it?"

Bai Cangshu's expression was composed, the smile on his face as light as if he were just borrowing a few dozen Beli from them.

Brina didn't react at first, but now her expression changed drastically, and she shouted angrily.

"Who are you?"

"How did you get onto this ship!"

"Someone, quickly take this guy..."

Whoosh—bang!

The cabin shook violently; a Marine who had just been about to draw his sword was instantly sent flying, slamming onto the deck.

Bai Cangshu tapped his toes on the ground, his figure moving with extreme speed; the 【Transparent World】 was already activated, and every movement of the people around him was clear at a glance.

But when Brina saw this scene, she was not frightened; instead, she became even more furious.

Since when did these guys all want to climb on top of her head one by one!

The woman leaned forward instantly, the sound of her muscles tightening like a taut bowstring.

When Bai Cangshu turned his head in surprise, he had already sensed the woman's movement behind him.

This guy... so fast!

Bai Cangshu twisted his body instantly; the whistling sound of the air being torn apart only just rang out, and Bai Cangshu's body bent and leaned toward the deck.

Boom!

In an instant, the air was blasted out from the woman's foot like a cannonball.

Bang!

A Marine couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by that mass of air.

Brina stood on her right foot, her long white thigh exposed from beneath her Justice dacang; her center of gravity was extremely stable, and the leg she had kicked into the air slowly retracted and landed on the ground.

Bai Cangshu exhaled a breath of turbid air, which flew two meters away like a white sword of Qi.

Thump, thump, thump...

His heartbeat and pulse, which had been suppressed for a long time, recovered rapidly in unison, and with them, his physical abilities and cellular activity began to fully revive.

Bai Cangshu looked at this female Marine wearing the Justice dacang.

"You have a good body."

The other Marines were furious to see the intruder insult Colonel Brina so, but only Brina could see clearly that there was no lust in the other party's eyes... this guy was a lunatic.

Thud!

Brina stomped hard on the ground, her figure disappearing instantly; Bai Cangshu's pupils vibrated rapidly, his powerful dynamic vision focusing in an instant, and he turned around, blocking with his hands in front of him.

The woman kicked out again, the air being compressed rapidly and blasted out like an air cannon.

Brina hadn't reached the rank of Colonel solely through schemes and tricks; she had climbed from the countless bottom-tier Marines to the middle ranks of the G51 Branch in the Grand Line, proving she possessed one-in-a-thousand combat power!

Although she had not mastered the 【Navy Six Styles】, through certain means, she understood some of the principles of the Six Styles.

Extreme speed, extreme hardness, extreme strength!

This was the Six Styles, this was the limit of human physical training techniques!

Bang!

Bai Cangshu's body shuddered, his facial skin rippling as if blown by a hurricane; he tensed his muscles and stood firm, like a reef.

At this moment, in Brina's eyes, Bai Cangshu's figure suddenly loomed large, like a massive reef hundreds of meters tall, and her attacks were completely useless.

She could not retract the powerful kicking technique she had modeled after 【Tempest Kick】; after the air cannon was blocked, she followed through with a second strike, slamming her foot into Bai Cangshu's hands.

The muscles in Bai Cangshu's body, which far exceeded the quantity and quality of an ordinary person, began to operate like a precision instrument in an instant.

The moment the intense force was transmitted from the other party's body, Bai Cangshu twisted his figure to follow the momentum, simultaneously grabbing the woman's thigh and using the force to hurl her toward the cabin door on the other side.

【Two Tigers Style · Flowing Form Willow】!

Boom!

A look of confusion appeared in Brina's eyes; she felt as if she were flying through the clouds, and in the next moment, a violent impact came from behind her.

She had already smashed through the cabin door, crashing into the storage room on the other side.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots rang out in succession.

Bai Cangshu merely tilted his head slightly, and the three overly precise bullets sank into the deck.

Bai Cangshu stepped forward, the rhythm of his breathing changing, and the sounds of wind and thunder roared loudly.

Sshhh!

This sound made Brina's mind tremble; the fear that arose subconsciously made her instinctively look up, and the next moment, she realized things were bad.

Oh no!

Bang!

The cabin door shattered, and a figure instantly lunged over; the opponent's hand pressed against her chest, and a twisted force erupted instantly.

【Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm】!

"Ugh!"

Brina felt a terrifying force pierce through her chest, her heart and lungs trembling violently for an instant; they did not shatter, but a mouthful of blood gushed out.

And just as her body was about to fly out, the opponent backhanded her, grabbing her by the neck, the intense inertia acting upon her cervical spine.

Crack, crack sounds rang out continuously, and Brina let out a wail.

When a group of Marines rushed to the cabin door with guns, they only saw Colonel Brina, her clothes slightly torn, being lifted by a man holding her neck with one hand, her feet already off the ground.

Bai Cangshu was still smiling; this woman's combat power was not weak, and the generally overly robust physical constitution of the Pirate world allowed this woman, who looked like a vase, to display quite powerful combat qualities despite her voluptuous figure that seemed completely unsuited for battle.

Her speed was fast, her physical endurance was strong, and after taking a hit of his Rakshasa Palm, her heart and lungs had not shattered.

The opponent's performance had already surpassed that of the Priest, Shura.

"Hey, Marines, your ship has been requisitioned. If you don't want to die along with this officer, it's best to do as I say."

Bai Cangshu felt some regret that he did not have the skill to pilot such a large ship alone; he wanted to gain a certain level of mobility in this world, whether to complete a Milestone, to maneuver against those Reincarnators about to enter this world and the Plot Characters appearing in these waters, or... that Treasure Map still lying in his Backpack at this moment.

He needed a ship that maintained intact functionality and Sequence.

For this reason, he had not even killed this woman.

Brina had difficulty breathing but did not surrender or give orders; seeing those Marines still hesitating, Bai Cangshu directly took out 【Doom Knocking】 and fired a shot at random.

Bang!

The special effect did not trigger, but the Marine who had been shot at his feet was still stunned for a moment; the anger that had appeared because their officer was captured quickly dissipated, and reason returned to their brains.

The opponent was a guy capable of quickly defeating Colonel Brina, and these waters were still facing the risk of lightning strikes; it seemed...

The Marine hesitated for a moment and said,

"For the safety of Colonel Brina, cooperate with this guy."

The smile on Bai Cangshu's face became increasingly mocking, but one hand still held the overly tall and voluptuous woman, while the other hand took out the map of 【Golden Town: Promised Land】.

At this moment, because the effect of changing the mission world had taken effect, this map now only held the value of a Treasure Map within this world itself.

Bai Cangshu took two looks and found that he seemed unable to read the nautical chart well, so he shouted again.

"Call the Navigator over!"

After some tossing and turning, the Navy Navigator finally confirmed that although the terrain of the nearby waters had changed somewhat, the location marked on this Treasure Map was not far.

Bai Cangshu held the woman hostage and stood on the outer edge of the deck; he did not care about those low-level Marines, as the power of the firearms and bullets in this world was too small and posed no threat to him.

"Set sail, boys, we're going treasure hunting, haha!"

He laughed loudly; in Brina's eyes, Bai Cangshu was a complete lunatic.

【You have completely dominated a ship, Milestone: Captain has been achieved】

【Captain: After equipping, the sailing speed of the ship you dominate is slightly increased (8%)】

【You have unlocked new Milestones: Fleet Admiral, Navy Captain, Great Pirate】

【Milestone: Navigator progress updated, current: 1/8000 (nautical miles)】

Bai Cangshu changed the equipped Milestone, and the ship's speed immediately increased.

Brina's complexion finally turned blue and purple at this moment; this woman could no longer maintain her Arrogance, and she instinctively began to struggle.

Bai Cangshu released his right hand, and the opponent immediately fell to the ground.

"You guy..."

The woman was furious and was about to get up, but she discovered that the sea waves had wetted this part of the deck at some point; she happened to press down on a slippery part, and when she got up, she slipped and fell again.

Bang!

Her head knocked heavily against the deck.

Bai Cangshu watched this scene, the smile on the corners of his mouth deepening; he looked at his right hand and keenly discovered that the judgment of 【Luck's Indeterminate Equation】 regarding attacking the opponent was quite flexible.

He had been holding the opponent the whole time, which seemed to be judged as continuously attacking the opponent, thereby seizing a large amount of 【Luck】 from this woman.

At this moment, if he opened a Scarlet Drop Card, perhaps he could get a very excellent drop.

"Ha, it's just the right time for treasure hunting; with this kind of Luck, it shouldn't just be a pile of gold and treasure."

Bai Cangshu felt that things like 【Luck】 were naturally the more the better, so he turned to the soldiers on the deck and said,

"All of you, come over, line up!"

Sshhh!

A terrifying thunderclap exploded again, and everyone's face turned pale; even Bai Cangshu felt as if his heart had skipped a beat.

Feeling this Disaster-class destructive power at close range, no living being could remain indifferent.

He turned his head and only saw a jet-black flamingo falling from the sky, while a giant shining with blue-white lightning appeared from the clouds.

"【Hahaha】!"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea... are ultimately just Mortals!"

Doflamingo had actually lost?!

The next moment, the falling Doflamingo suddenly froze in mid-air.

Hum~

An invisible aura erupted suddenly, sweeping across the entire sea area like a hurricane.

Thump, thump, thump...

On the deck, the Marines who were about to line up to be beaten fell down one after another.

Amidst the aura that was like raging waves, Bai Cangshu's skin broke out in numerous bumps from trembling.

He felt that spirit that seemed endless and about to drown him, his eyes looking at Heaven with Greed Sin.

"This is... Conqueror's Haki!"
