Chapter 244

Rain's Shiryu's strength was actually countless times greater than when he had first encountered the opponent back then!

This was only natural, after all, Shiryu had consumed Dragon-class Monster Cells.

Amplified by the Dragon-class Monster Cells, Shiryu, who was already at the Admiral level, could now rival the Four Emperors' admirals!

How could a mere Commodore like Drake be Shiryu's match?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Shiryu swung his blade continuously, making Drake suffer immensely.

Within moments, his body was covered with several deep wounds.

Confused, panicked, fearful, and angry, Drake finally fought for his life, transforming into a massive dinosaur, claws and teeth bared, with an extraordinary aura.

It was the Allosaurus from the ancient era!

A gleam of excited bloodlust flashed in Shiryu's eyes.

"Finally willing to transform? I've been waiting for you for a while!"

With Shiryu's strength, he could have actually killed Drake instantly.

But he deliberately tortured the opponent, just wanting Drake to turn into a dinosaur so he could cut him up again.

Rain's Shiryu was a thoroughgoing maniac, whose greatest hobby was the torture and slaughter of enemies.

Drake, transformed into an Allosaurus, suffered even more miserably.

On his massive dinosaur body, Shiryu had struck countless cuts.

Blood splattered everywhere, and he was covered in wounds.

Shiryu grew more and more excited with every slash; the pleasure of torturing people was truly delightful.

However, he could not play for too long, or else keeping my lord Luo Xing waiting for too long would not be good.

Shiryu then became serious and severed Drake's head with a single sword strike.

This elite spy X-Drake, upon whom Sengoku and Koby had pinned their hopes, expecting him to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates and turn the tide for the Navy, was thus killed in a muddled fashion.

He hadn't even gotten to see Luo Xing's face.

Shiryu carried Drake's head back to the main hall.

Luo Xing only glanced at it indifferently.

Given his current status and strength, a mere Drake like this had no qualification to warrant his serious attention.

Shiryu then informed Luo Xing of the news about Blackbeard that he had heard from Drake's mouth.

Luo Xing made a slight sound of surprise, his gaze shifting.

Is Blackbeard currently on that barren island at the entrance to the New World?

If his memory was not mistaken, Blackbeard should have captured the gluttonous woman Jewelry Bonney, intending to exchange her with the Navy for a warship, right?

Compared to Blackbeard, who had not obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability and thus posed no great threat,

Luo Xing was more interested in Jewelry Bonney.

This woman's Devil Fruit ability was very strange; she could make people's ages increase or decrease, and should be considered an upgraded version of Ain's Age-Age Fruit.

Luo Xing couldn't help but imagine: if Bonney could turn his women from little girls into young ladies, then into mature women, then into even older and more mature ones, switching between every age group, would that not be wonderful?

Apart from this point,

Luo Xing was also quite curious about Jewelry Bonney's true identity.

He decided to go to that barren island.

There was no need to take a warship and go there slowly; Drake had a Log Pose pointing near that island in his possession.

He only needed to input the location information into the Daorenyi Sect, and Luo Xing could arrive instantly at the New World.

209, Blackbeard Mocked, Kuzan's Plan, Luo Xing's Excitement

A small island at the entrance to the New World.

Blackbeard greedily gazed at the well-proportioned, smooth-skinned Jewelry Bonney before him and chuckled:

"Hey, little girl, have you thought it over? Be my woman; the future world will be my era!"

Jewelry Bonney spat and was about to curse, but suddenly thought of something, and instead retorted sarcastically:

"Your era? Hahaha, you make me laugh!"

"Blackball bastard, as far as I know, all your plans have failed!"

"You met the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing in Impel Down and fled in disgrace. You wanted to steal Whitebeard's corpse in Marineford, but were blocked by Luo Xing's subordinates as well."

"The plans you painstakingly devised over decades were nothing but a joke in that man's eyes!"

"You are not even worth a single hair of that man, yet you dare say the future era is yours?"

Blackbeard's face instantly became extremely gloomy and ugly.

Jewelry Bonney was practically pouring salt on his wounds.

If it weren't for Luo Xing, would his subordinates now be merely four people?

If it weren't for Luo Xing, he would already hold darkness in one hand and earthquakes in the other, invincible under heaven!

Damn it!

Every time Blackbeard thought of this, he felt so aggrieved he went mad, wishing to kill someone to vent.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Jewelry Bonney now definitely carried killing intent.

637 But Blackbeard ultimately held back.

He wanted to use this woman to exchange with the Navy for a warship.

Blackbeard called out angrily:

"What, do you want to be the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing's woman?"

Jewelry Bonney sneered:

"Being that man's woman is a million times better than being your ugly, disgusting, and failed black-ball bastard's woman!"

"What did you say, you foul-mouthed stinking woman!"

Blackbeard ground his teeth.

Just as he was about to hold back no longer and slap Jewelry Bonney hard,

Navigator Lafitte stopped him, saying:

"Captain, the Navy has already sent people over; exchanging for a warship is what matters now."

Suppressing his anger, Blackbeard asked:

"Who did the Navy send?"

Lafitte looked toward the horizon and said solemnly:

"That person is nearly here; it is Admiral Aokiji."

Blackbeard followed Lafitte's gaze.

Sure enough, he saw Navy Admiral Aokiji standing proudly on the deck of the warship.

Blackbeard's expression grew even more grim.

The Navy sending an Admiral, their highest combat power, clearly meant they did not truly intend to give him a warship.

Damn it, he had no time to fight to the death with an Admiral right now.

Blackbeard's expression was gloomy and unstable.

He wanted to abandon Jewelry Bonney and flee, yet he could not bear to.

After all, he had suffered too many setbacks recently and truly did not wish to endure humiliation any longer.

On the warship at the horizon.

Aokiji also saw the Blackbeard Pirates on the island, as well as his primary target this time, Jewelry Bonney.

This was a merit bestowed upon him by Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

As long as he could successfully rescue Jewelry Bonney, the Five Elders' objections to his ascension to Fleet Admiral would surely diminish.

After confirming that Jewelry Bonney had not been harmed, Aokiji looked deeply at Blackbeard.

This fellow who ate the most vicious Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit was not a figure to be underestimated.

If the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing had not interfered,

the greatest beneficiary of this Summit War would very likely have been the Blackbeard before his eyes!

And even if Blackbeard's plans all failed,

with his ambition suppressed for decades and the mysterious power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would inevitably grow into a force that could not be ignored on the future seas.

Aokiji's eyes flickered; except for himself, no one knew what he was thinking.

Aokiji's stance, Aokiji's justice, was actually not firmly standing on the Navy's side.
