Chapter 55: War Under the Storm

Soon, the underling brought over a box containing the items Zhajin needed, respectfully placed it on the table beside Zhajin, and then tactfully retreated.

Zhajin looked at the woman with exotic features before him, a boundless interest surging in his heart; he stood up, walked over to her, and reached out, wanting to grab her chin.

Just then, black clouds happened to cover the moon, and the room instantly became dim.

"Two-Wheel Bloom."

A clear voice rang out; two arms suddenly grew out of thin air from Zhajin's shoulder blades, palms resting on his chin and the top of his head, and with a *crack*, twisted.

Zhajin's mouth and eyes were instantly twisted out of shape, and his whole body collapsed onto the floor; the black clouds dispersed, and moonlight spilled in through the window once more, shining on the woman's face.

The ropes that had bound her hands and feet had already been untied and tossed aside; the previous panic had completely vanished, and she sat with her legs crossed, the corners of her mouth lifting: "Ara, you really are a man with a sense of romance, but I need to stay here for a while, so you should give up the place."

After speaking, she squinted and smiled: "Arigato."

……

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Clang!

Under the storm, the God-Slaying Dragon Court moved forward against the giant waves; the crew members were engaged in a fierce battle with a fleet of pirate ships, gunfire erupted everywhere, sparks flew as blades clashed, and the sounds of killing rose one after another, soaring straight into the sky.

Swish.

Luo Di spread his wings, flew abruptly from the deck into the air, looked coldly at the enemy's main ship, and then quickly dove down, transforming into a streak of blood-red light, rushing like a meteor toward a man at the bow of the main ship who wore an iron hook on his left wrist and had a face full of whiskers.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Di had rushed before him.

The man raised his left hand, pointed the iron hook at Luo Di, and said sternly: "Blood Calamity Luo Di, the pirate with the highest bounty in the East Blue, I, the Great Hook King, will kill you today to make a name for myself, as a bargaining chip for me to join the pirate crew of Lord Crocodile!"

He came from a small town in the West Blue and had admired Crocodile immensely since he became famous years ago, fantasizing about one day being able to board his ship; even now that the other party was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea recruited by the World Government, he still had not changed his mind, and even his iron hook was an imitation of the other's.

His grand fleet had over a thousand men, twice the number of the Blood Calamity Pirates, which was the reason he was so fearless.

"Ah, is that so," Luo Di laughed: "Then let's see if your heads are hard enough."

As soon as his voice fell, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and rushed before the Great Hook King, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up.

Clang!

Boom, boom, boom.

On the other side, Pa Lu used his shield to smash the heads of several pirates until they were deformed and sent them flying, then threw out Firefly Stones one by one, directly igniting the group of pirates in front, the green fire burning in the heavy rain.

"I am the invincible Pa Lu, my flames cannot even be extinguished by the rain!"

"Screw your grandfather!" A Nuo wielded dual axes and hacked down two pirates, then looked at Kamen to the side: "Hey, stupid woman, didn't I, A Nuo, tell you to stay on the ship? Coming here will only get in the way!"

"Shut up." Kamen kicked a pirate away and said coldly: "Don't think that only men can fight; I've taken down quite a few pirates in the East Blue, you idiot!"

Lin De Bo Ge stood at the bow of the God-Slaying Dragon Court; a small squad of pirates had already snuck over in speedboats, and he adjusted his goggles, curled his lips, and directly took out several small blue grenades and threw them down.

The blue grenades landed precisely on the ship; they did not explode, but instead emitted cold air that froze them, and Lin De Bo Ge threw a few more red ones.

The moment the red grenades touched the ice, they immediately spewed sparks, dissolving all the pirates on the ship, and they fell into the sea along with the vessel.

"Hahahaha, my new invention isn't bad, right?" Lin De Bo Ge bent over, his left hand holding the brim of his hat, his right hand raised, and said in a super-exquisite bubble voice: "This is the power of the world's strongest mechanic."

Boom!

Thunder shook the firmament, and lightning illuminated the sea surface.

The Great Hook King, held by the neck, had not yet had time to resist before the life force within his body drained away rapidly, and he was soon tossed aside onto the deck by Luo Di.

Seeing this scene, the underlings behind the Great Hook King looked at Luo Di in terror one after another.

"This guy isn't human, he's simply a monster!" a pirate shouted in a panic.

"Fear my ass, we have so many people, let's go together and surround and kill him!" an officer roared.

All the pirates immediately rushed toward Luo Di to kill him; Gai Ou was fighting fiercely on another ship, and in the distance, Xiao En immediately used Shave to arrive before Luo Di, wanting to block this group of pirates.

Luo Di suddenly sat on the ground, arms crossed, with the air of someone watching the fun.

Xiao En caught a glimpse of this, and a sense of glory welled up in his heart.

Captain Luo Di is giving me a stage so that I can grow quickly; I must not let down his expectations!

"Shave!"

Xiao En suddenly disappeared from where he stood, and the pirates looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at each other with confused expressions.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a pirate fell in response; Xiao En appeared behind them again, the black steel saw in his hand waving, and blood bloomed from the chests of the pirates as they fell crookedly onto the deck.

Currently, his preferred weapons were a flintlock in his left hand and a cold weapon in his right; he had previously used a long sword, had never studied swordsmanship, and had always kept his mind on the Six Powers.

Because the material of the long sword was ordinary, it was often damaged in battle and had been replaced many times; later, after Luo Di killed the Pangolin, he gave the Pangolin's Sea Stone steel saw to him.

The steel saw easily sliced through skin and severed tendons and bones; Xiao En was like entering an unpeopled land among the pirate crowd, and soon his body was covered in blood, like a god of slaughter.

A stone pillar was smashed toward him, and Xiao En immediately used the steel saw to block it; the force of the stone pillar made his muscles tremble constantly, and before him was a fat man who was several heads taller than him.

"The Great Hook King is dead, from now on I am the captain, and even if he hadn't died, I would have found an opportunity to kill him!" the fat man said with a ferocious sneer: "That guy talked every day about wanting to be a crew member of Crocodile, what a loser; of course one must become the strongest Pirate King!"

Xiao En's eyes sharpened, and with a shout of "Ah," he exerted force and pushed the steel saw upward.

"Captain Luo Di is the man who will become the Pirate King; this era... is named Blood Calamity!"

Xiao En roared, and the steel saw pushed the stone pillar over directly, landing right next to his feet; the fat man had not yet recovered from his astonishment, and Xiao En had already flashed before him.

Swish!

The steel saw swept past, and the head flew up.

With Xiao En's victory, the captain and the first mate of the opposing pirate crew were both dead, and the other crew members lost their backbone and completely lost their will to fight, all being killed by the members of the Blood Calamity Pirates who rushed over.

The battle ended, and Xiao En came before Luo Di, lowering his head solemnly: "Captain Luo Di."

"Ah, well done." Luo Di stood up and patted his shoulder: "Xiao En, choosing you to be the chief captain was the right choice, keep working hard."

When Luo Di spoke, he wore his signature wanton smile; upon hearing this, Xiao En immediately straightened his body, and for a moment, his body seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of power.
