To avoid dragging this out, he had to strike her skull directly and kill her on the spot...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to throw it, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly resounded across the shore:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Lord Pearl has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall, long-limbed man, his entire body strapped with steel shields, jumped off the ship and landed directly in front of Nojiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh, oh, oh!! It’s Captain Pearl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has he finally made a move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates looked excited, raising their arms to cheer and root for him. \"Wait for death, woman! This is Captain Pearl, known as the 'Iron Wall Man' of our fleet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right! It is I!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pearl grinned, his hands gripping the shields slamming heavily together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko looked him up and down, taking in his unique getup, and couldn't help but shake her head in silence. \"Some 'Iron Wall Man'—you're nothing more than a coward who likes to hide inside a turtle shell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her words fell, she suddenly stepped on the air with Moon Walk, arriving above Pearl’s head, and delivered a heavy punch from top to bottom, smashing fiercely toward the center of his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull sound of metal colliding rang out, but Pearl had raised his arms side-by-side to block in front of him, and the shields on his elbows blocked the strike perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So painful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the numbness from the violent vibration in his arms, Pearl felt a surge of horror in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This damn stinking woman, what great strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he lowered his arms, he let out a triumphant laugh: \"Useless! Useless! This level of punching is soft and weak; it’s impossible to break through my defense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know, I have never shed a single drop of blood in battle—not a single drop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up his index finger at Nojiko. \"Unscathed—that is the best proof of how powerful I am...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade’s light suddenly flared, and a biting sword Qi whistled through the air, sweeping across Pearl’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Pearl’s body remained motionless, but a line of blood suddenly appeared on his index finger, spreading vertically; in a flash, it extended from his head to his toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pearl discovered with terror that his vision seemed to be splitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left eye saw the shield on his chest divide into two halves, the cut as smooth as a mirror, while his right eye caught a glimpse of the right side of his body slowly tilting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left and right halves of his body, covered in shields, fell to the ground one after another. The internal organs at the cross-section were still twitching slightly, and intestines and blood had already splattered the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Pearl!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding pirates looked as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In so many battles, they had never even seen anyone break through the captain’s defense, yet at this moment, the captain had been sliced in two by a single sword strike?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall girl landed on the ground, her long black hair tied into a high ponytail behind her head, adding a touch of heroic spirit to her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly, glanced at the blade, and gave her wrist a slight flick; the bloodstains on the pure white blade faded away completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the 21 Great Grade Swords, Wado Ichimonji!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any others who want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina’s gaze was cold. She turned the Wado Ichimonji, casually performed a sword flourish, and aimed it at the terrified pirates in front of her. \"You can take two steps forward and try it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding pirates swallowed hard. Despite each of them holding sharp blades, they all subconsciously took a few steps back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This village... what on earth is going on with this village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s clearly a remote, rural place, so why are the women coming to block the road more terrifying than the last!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve finished eating too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko withdrew her fist, sighed with some disinterest, and glanced sideways at Kuina. \"You’re a guest; if you came over without being full, it would make us, the hosts, look very rude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, just finished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina nodded lightly. \"Brother Xia Nuo said he wanted to wash the dishes and wouldn't even let me help. Since I was idle, I just came over to take a look first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my brother! You’ve already been invited onto the ship, calling him Captain is enough!\" Nojiko gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is two years older than me, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina pushed up her glasses, unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the fleet admiral Don Krieg who had just stepped off the ship, or Gin who had automatically come to his side, their expressions had darkened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just finished eating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Came over to take a look because they were idle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What big talk! It sounded as if the two of them had just come over for a stroll to digest their food and could solve them in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was even more outrageous...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that Xia Nuo, the main target they were looking for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty warships had been dispatched, pressing down on the border, and over a thousand pirates had already stormed the shore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you, damn it, are still busy washing dishes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, hey, we’re being looked down upon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don Krieg’s face was livid, the temple on his forehead throbbing. He suddenly squeezed a chilling laugh through his teeth. \"This really makes me angry. Gin, you are not allowed to move. This time, I will do it myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin looked at him with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him, \"That black-haired woman who appeared later, her swordsmanship is very powerful; don't underestimate her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nagging, do I need you to tell me that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don Krieg grinned hideously and drew his Great Battle Spear. His heavy armor refracted a dazzling light under the sun. With a boom, he used the recoil force to leap up, smashing the spear down toward Kuina below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, you’re just small fry, only good for dealing with an idiot like Pearl. I am the Overlord of the East Blue! The fleet admiral Don Krieg with a bounty of 17 million Berries!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can your sword Qi slice through my golden armor? Besides, this Great Battle Spear of mine weighs a full ton. I want to see if you little brat can take it!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden armor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina looked up calmly at the massive figure closing in, and spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One-Sword Style, Three Thousand Worlds · Swallow Return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant, her figure had disappeared from where she stood. While dodging the Great Battle Spear, her blade slashed out diagonally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword light erupted, turning into three silver arcs that instantly covered Don Krieg’s entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, the circular shields on his two shoulders had already shattered with a boom, and the armor on his upper body also collapsed into metal fragments with a clatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the final sword Qi precisely knocked away the golden Great Battle Spear in his hand, pinning it to the trunk of a coconut tree nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don Krieg’s 2.43-meter-tall body froze in place, not daring to move a muscle, because at this very moment, a cold sword tip was pressing against his throat, one centimeter below his Adam's apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frog in the well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Don Krieg’s panicked gaze, Kuina smiled slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want me to make it clear to you? Two months ago, I had already grasped the Breath of All Things and stepped into the realm of a Master Swordsman. From then on, there is nothing I cannot cut, be it gold, silver, copper, or iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1433,"2026-06-17T09:04:16.852Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","20e53638d76f9b76905b326111b7175c099770b778feb45af77f140c20d3018e","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-45","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-43",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-starting-with-shanks-severed-arm-cover.jpg"]
