Chapter 85

However, just as he rushed halfway, Luo Xing's gaze glanced over.

That gaze, how to put it, was like a god looking down on mortals, with an indescribable superiority within its calmness.

Immediately, an invisible momentum rose from Luo Xing.

And pressed down on Smoker like a mountain.

· ········· Begging for flowers · ···

Smoker's face changed drastically!

His lower body's elementalization could barely be maintained under this momentum!

"How is this possible?!"

A towering wave of shock rose in Smoker's heart.

That man, with just a single glance, had made it nearly impossible for him to maintain elementalization!

Buzz!

The mountain-like momentum suddenly intensified; Smoker suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, his elementalization completely failed, and he fell to the ground with a splash.

"Colonel Smoker!"

Tashigi still wore a bewildered expression.

She had no idea what had happened.

Colonel Smoker was clearly rushing up to catch those two pirates; how could he suddenly fall down?

She hurried forward to check on Smoker's condition.

Smoker's forehead was inexplicably covered in cold sweat.

He leaned on Tashigi, barely managed to stand up, his pupils filled with fear and shock.

Gazing at the slowly vanishing backs of Luo Xing and Yamato, he muttered in astonishment:

..... 0.......

"Conqueror's Haki that causes physical damage? What exactly is this guy? And what does he have to do with the Emperor Red Hair?!"

Smoker already knew that the other party's previous indifferent reaction was not arrogance, but the capital to back it up!

Even ten Smokers combined would not be a match for the other party's single finger!

Hearing Smoker's mutter, Tashigi finally understood what had just happened.

She fell into a stupor.

It was hard to imagine that there actually existed someone in this world a hundred or a thousand times stronger than Colonel Smoker!

Just a single glance, relying solely on momentum, made Colonel Smoker unable to stand steadily.

At the same time.

Within the East Blue, not far from Loguetown.

Inside a small sailboat capable of carrying only one person, a man carrying a long black blade on his back, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, shuddered violently and looked toward the direction of Loguetown.

"This Haki..."

The world's number one swordsman, Hawk Eyes Dracule Mihawk, flashed surprise and confusion in his sharp eyes.

"If the aura were not completely different, I would have thought Red Hair had arrived."

"This person possesses such Haki; could he be the King of the Offshore who severed Red Hair's left arm?"

Before Hawk Eyes came to the East Blue to travel, he had gone to find Red Hair.

Red Hair had warned him at that time that if he encountered the King of the Offshore, he might face a life-threatening danger.

After arriving in the East Blue, Hawk Eyes asked around in many places, yet never heard of a figure named "King of the Offshore."

Nor did he encounter a decent pirate in the East Blue.

And today.

He finally sensed a powerful momentum that even made him feel threatened.

It is very likely that King of the Offshore!

Without a second thought, Hawk Eyes turned his boat's head and gave chase.

He had already locked onto that person's aura! And.

81. Slip-Slip Fruit, Nami, Hawk Eyes and Green Hair (Cover Changed)

Luo Xing randomly found a small boat at the shore of Loguetown and set sail, but the small boat was very uncomfortable to ride.

Especially lacking a room and a bed; this was very bad.

Luo Xing said to Yamato, "We must find a large ship with a room."

He spread his Observation Haki, searching for ships on the sea.

The sea is truly too vast; humans are truly insignificant before it.

Such aimless searching, even with Luo Xing's Observation Haki, would take considerable effort to find a suitable ship.

But what Luo Xing did not expect was that his luck was good; he found one within a few minutes.

Moreover, the owner of that ship was a figure he had a slight impression of.

Luo Xing directly discarded the small boat, wrapped his arm around Yamato's slender waist, and stepped on Moon Walk toward that ship.

On the horizon dozens of li away.

A pirate ship flying a skull flag.

An ugly, fat woman with a face full of freckles was beating a slave hard with a spiked club.

"Bastard! Bastard! Straw Hat Luffy, sooner or later I will make you know my power!"

This fat woman was Alvida, the first enemy Luffy encountered when setting sail.

She had been defeated by Luffy not long ago, and even the other slave, Koby, had been rescued by Luffy.

Alvida hated Straw Hat Luffy to the extreme and swore to take revenge.

What gave her the confidence to seek revenge was, astonishingly, a Devil Fruit!

It turned out that after being beaten away by Luffy, her luck changed; she actually stumbled upon a Devil Fruit.

Truly, even heaven wanted to help her, Alvida!

After venting her anger on the slaves, Alvida held that Devil Fruit as if it were a rare treasure, her face filled with excitement.

"This is the Sube Sube no Mi; it will surely make me the most beautiful and most powerful woman in the world!"

She opened her blood-filled maw, about to swallow the Sube Sube no Mi in one bite.

Suddenly, an orange-haired girl nearby stopped her.

"My lord Alvida, if this Sube Sube no Mi is sold, it can fetch at least several hundred million Berries; we will be well-fed and clothed for the rest of our lives!"

Alvida glared angrily at the orange-haired girl and roared:

"Little Thief Cat, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You want to sell the Sube Sube no Mi and keep the money for yourself!"

The orange-haired girl was none other than Little Thief Cat Nami.

While she was out at sea looking for a wealthy target, she happened to see Alvida find the Sube Sube no Mi, so she sneaked aboard, preparing to steal it.

Unexpectedly, Alvida actually knew her name, didn't believe her at all, and even had her captured.

Nami wore an awkward smile, but her eyes darted cunningly about.

Since she couldn't steal the Sube Sube no Mi, she should also look for a chance to escape.

After scolding Nami, Alvida, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, opened her mouth again to swallow the Sube Sube no Mi.

Unwillingly.

Another extremely abrupt voice stopped her.

"Giving this Devil Fruit to you to eat is a complete waste; you might as well let me have it."

Having her bite interrupted twice, Alvida was thoroughly enraged and bellowed:

"Who the hell is disturbing me again? I will destroy you!"

Alvida's fierce eyes glared toward the source of the voice.

The next second, her fierce expression turned to blankness, and then to fear.

Luo Xing, holding Yamato in his arms, stepped lightly and slowly descended onto Alvida's ship.

He moved as if strolling leisurely, just like in his own home; he casually took the Sube Sube no Mi from Alvida's hand, tossed it up and down, and put it into his own pocket.

Yamato asked in surprise:

"Husband, do you want to become a Devil Fruit user too? Then this Devil Fruit is far too low-level."

Luo Xing said, "Of course I won't eat it. Although it is low-level, it is still a Devil Fruit; the Houhuoxu Society might put it to use in the future."

Not 'might', it will definitely be put to use.
