The muffled footsteps echoed on the dock.
Soon, a large group of people were seen walking out of the darkness.
That pirate flag fluttering in the wind stirred Hiyori Kozuki's nerves even more.
It was a skull, a skull with a mustache that was white and crescent-shaped.
"Th...This is Whitebeard's flag. Why are they here?"
"And that Wandering Knight Doma is here too!"
Hiyori Kozuki's face changed.
She knew that Kai had offended many powerful forces in the tavern.
However, she had never thought that the other party would come to her so quickly.
If Hiyori Kozuki didn't remember wrongly, the burly man leading the way, who was nearly five meters tall and had an angry face,
was the commander of the Third Division under the Whitebeard Pirates.
Jozu the Diamond, with a bounty of 800 million berries.
The sudden appearance of this level of existence here really made Hiyori Kozuki unable to hold her breath.
"Are you Saitama?" Jozu took the lead and said.
"I heard about you from Doma."
"A strange man, and carrying a woman with outstanding beauty, this is a taboo on this sea, and it's easy to attract trouble."
Speaking of this, Jozu said in a deep voice, "This is still in the first half of the Grand Line. If you set foot in the second half of the Grand Line, she will bring you a death disaster."
"Pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, and some hidden old monsters, and forces, etc."
"They have a morbid pursuit of power, money, and women. You should know the principle of a femme fatale."
The low voice had a vaguely oppressive taste.
Hiyori Kozuki's face changed when she heard this.
It would have been better if this kind of thing hadn't been said. Now that the benefits and harms had been directly pointed out, it made Hiyori Kozuki instantly remember the pursuit of the pirate crews, large and small, that she had encountered in the past three days.
As long as she showed her face and was encountered by the pirates,
watching Kai's simple single-masted pirate ship, and that blood-colored flag with no reputation,
they would all roar like crazy jackals and attack their small broken ship.
However, the only thing that made Hiyori Kozuki feel at ease
was that no matter what the enemy was, as long as they showed hostility and approached, they would be met with Kai's invincible punch.
This powerful and overwhelming strength made Hiyori Kozuki completely ignore that
the attacks she encountered along the way were all attracted by her.
Now that Diamond Jozu had suddenly revealed all of this, it made Hiyori Kozuki's nerves tighten at once.
She knew clearly that no one liked to have a burden by their side.
Especially after entering the more dangerous New World.
Thinking of this, Hiyori Kozuki looked at Kai eagerly.
However, at the moment of entry, that warm hand that was quickly magnified in her pupils directly covered Hiyori Kozuki's head.
Kai's dead fish eyes raised, and he said without any energy, "What femme fatale, as long as she's cute, it's enough."
"You suddenly ran over to me, blocking my way, it shouldn't be a good thing, right?"
The quiet words were filled with an indifferent tone.
If he paired it with a gesture of picking his nostrils, perhaps this unserious attitude in the face of the dignified Whitebeard Pirates
would be enough to make many people grind their teeth.
However, compared to other people, Hiyori Kozuki was stunned in place.
Watching the bald head who was close at hand, and those words just now, she had never thought that Kai would give this kind of answer.
As long as she was cute, it was enough!
If it was in Wano Country, this would be an ordinary sentence.
But on this sea, there were all kinds of life and death killings hidden.
Just as Jozu had said, she was a femme fatale.
As a beauty, she had directly admitted it.
For the head-touching kill that she had been resisting, Hiyori Kozuki felt for the first time that this intimate gesture seemed to be pretty good.
"As expected, just like what Doma said, you're all one-track-minded guys, the way you talk gives people the feeling that you don't care at all," Jozu's expression sank slightly, and he glanced at Hiyori Kozuki again.
"I had thought that after hearing these crises that you would encounter, you would choose to abandon this woman. However, the answer you gave was very strange, but this kind of behavior of keeping your promise makes me very satisfied."
"I, Jozu, respect you as a good guy, so now if you're willing to give up your pursuit of Ace, I'll let you go."
Speaking of this, Jozu raised his head and said, "If you insist on continuing to pursue Ace, then don't blame me for being impolite, capturing you personally, and then taking you back to see the old man."
As soon as these words fell, Hiyori Kozuki's face also changed.
No!
It should be said that on the vast dock, hundreds of pairs of eyes turned in unison, locking onto Kai.
They desperately wanted to know what choice the banana weirdo in front of them would make in the face of the warning from Jozu, the commander of the Third Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Da!
Heavy footsteps suddenly rang out.
In full view, Kai leaped off the deck and landed on the dock.
The red cloak was fluttering in the wind.
That posture of tightening his gloves stirred everyone's nerves.
With a twitch of his dead fish eyes, Kai indifferently opened his mouth again, saying, "You mean if I defeat you, you won't block my way?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier? You're wasting my time talking, and talking consumes energy when I'm hungry."
The quiet words, at this moment, were like an invisible heavy hammer, hitting the depths of everyone's souls directly.
Watching Kai's indifferent face, the only adjective that popped up in everyone's minds was.
Mad!
He was mad beyond words!
In their eyes, faced with Jozu, who was the third strongest under Whitebeard, this unknown bald head actually dared to say such casual words.
This was undoubtedly an insult to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Good, you damn kid. Since you're unwilling to leave on your own initiative, then I'll take you back for the old man to deal with. You can only blame yourself for not feeling out the situation when you were looking down on everyone!" Jozu's face sank, and he roared angrily.
The pirates who were watching all around, especially the Wandering Knight Doma, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly shouted, "Let's retreat quickly, and don't delay Captain Jozu's fight."
"If we cause Captain Jozu to be unable to fight with all his strength in order to take care of us, then we'll be sinners!"
As soon as these words fell, hundreds of pirates on the dock quickly retreated.
Just like in the original story, among the Four Emperors, except for Red Hair who took the elite route, the other three Emperors undoubtedly took the route of having a large number of people.
Just one captain had casually brought so many people.
Not to mention the vast group of forces under Whitebeard.
According to the original story, the Whitebeard Pirates alone had nearly two thousand people.
The number of affiliated pirate crews was 46, and the number of people added together could be more than ten times that.
