Chapter 21 Pirate King, please abdicate
On the vast ocean, the sun shines on the ship of Roger's pirate group.
If you have nothing to do, just fight.
Rhett and Roger stood opposite each other, and the crew gathered around them, their eyes full of expectation.
"Bet's open, it's open, brothers."
"Now I, Gaban, will introduce to you,"
"This time, the contestant is Gol D. Roger, the captain of the Roger Pirates. Our challenger is also from the Roger Pirates, Rhett, also known as Scarlet Mist. Will the king still defend his throne, or will a new challenger ascend to the new throne? Let us wait and see."
Rhett's expression was serious, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
He knew very well how strong the man in front of him was.
Rhett was seen holding Kuroshio in his hand.
Blood mist gradually appeared around him and became thicker, filling the entire deck.
"Captain, be careful!" Rhett shouted, stomping his feet on the deck, and the Kuroshio sword in his hand was wrapped in corrosive mist, slashing down with tremendous force.
Roger had a signature smile on his face, and he turned slightly sideways without any hurry.
"Little Rhett, not bad!" Roger encouraged with a smile.
But Roger did not slack off, and immediately shattered the mist blade.
Rhett Kuroshio was the first attack, followed by a mist blade condensed from mist, which was originally intended to give Roger time to dodge and gain new strength.
As a result, Roger dodged it easily "Little Rhett can't even get the first move. He's just a wimp."
Gaban said sarcastically off the court.
Rhett missed the target with one strike, and was not discouraged.
Rhett even took the time to yell at Gaban: "Hey, if you're a commentator, just stay neutral, asshole."
He immediately activated the ability of the Mist Mist Fruit, and the mist changed rapidly under his control. The originally thin mist became thicker and turned into fine needle-like objects, shooting towards Roger. This was the move he developed - "Mist Needle Thousand Rain".
Roger's eyes focused, and his body moved quickly, nimbly shuttling through the mist needles, dodging them just right. The mist needles hit the deck beside him, leaving tiny dents.
"Hmph, watch me!" Rhett saw that the mist needles didn't work, so he tried again. He compressed the mist onto the Kuroshio sword, and the mist around the sword instantly turned red, as if it was burning. Rhett raised the sword high,
He shouted, "Mist God Style. Blood Tide!" Then he swung his sword down fiercely. A sword energy with blood-red mist swept towards Roger like a surging tide.
Wherever it went, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a "sizzling" sound.
Roger felt the powerful force of this blow, put away his smile, and his expression became serious. He stood firmly on the deck.
He held the sword "Ace" at his waist with both hands, and the armed Haki instantly wrapped around the blade.
He shouted, "Divine Departure!" A brilliant sword light burst out and collided with Rhett's sword energy.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the shock wave generated by the collision of the two powerful forces swept across like a storm. The crew members on the deck were forced to retreat one after another by this force, and some even lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Gaban, with a white mist surrounding him, which was why he could see the battle clearly, said, "Two such powerful attacks, what will be the result?"
The fog was blown away, revealing two figures.
Rhett was knocked back by the impact, his feet scratched two deep marks on the deck, his arms trembled slightly, blood oozed from his knuckles.
But his eyes remained firm, and he did not retreat at all.
"Rhett didn't fall down. It seems that Rhett has made great progress. What are you waiting for? Press on."
"It's not over yet!" Rhett gritted his teeth and rushed towards Roger again.
Roger watched Rhett rushing towards him again, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and he raised his saber again, ready to meet the attack.
Rhett came in front of Roger, swinging his sword vigorously, constantly changing his attack methods, sometimes slashing straight, sometimes slashing horizontally, and each blow carried all of Rhett's strength.
Rhett saw that there was no hope of defeating his captain in a head-on confrontation, so he decided to use the method he was best at. Rhett gradually retreated into the fog.
"There it is, little Rhett's most shameless style of play, tui, (dubbed accent) it's really an excellent tactic." Gaban looked disgusted. Don't ask, the answer is that he was disgusted by this move.
The figure was looming in the mist, there was no one called Rheet, but Scarlet Mist
He found the right moment and suddenly appeared behind Roger.
Kuroshio slashed fiercely with the mist. Compared with concentrating all the power on one point to increase the lethality.
Rhett prefers to split his power into two parts, with Kuroshio slashing followed by Mist Blade (a fighting style borrowed from another anime).
Roger reacted quickly, turning around and blocking the blow with his sword.
Roger looked around cautiously, waiting for Rhett to appear again. After a while, Rhett rushed out from the mist in another direction, the mist in his hand condensed into a spear, and stabbed at Roger.
When the spear stabbed at Roger, Kuroshio had already swept towards Roger.
Roger dodged sideways, and Rhett took the opportunity to disappear into the fog again.
Rhett repeated this process, constantly moving through the fog to attack, and then quickly disappearing into the fog after the attack, making it difficult for Roger to catch up.
But Roger has been in One Piece for 16 more years than Rhett. Roger didn't even use Observation Haki to bully him. Although Rhett's fog can block his Observation Haki, Roger's Observation Haki is among the best in the entire pirate world.
After all, Rhett's strength was far behind Roger's. After another fierce collision, Rhett's sword was knocked away, and he was also knocked out and fell heavily on the deck. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, little Rhett, you've done great!" Roger walked forward and helped Rhett up with a smile.
Rhett wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Roger, and said firmly "Captain, I will become stronger!"
"Hahaha, really? I believe you." He patted Rhett's head with a look of relief.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't look like an old father who is very pleased, you bastard captain." Rhett sharp mouth strike again.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the deck of the Oro Jackson. Rhett sat slumped against the side of the ship, rubbing his sore arm, Kuroshio leaning against his side.
Roger came over, sat down next to him, and handed him a bottle of rum "Drink?"
Rhett took the bottle and took a big gulp. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, making him grimace: "Hiss - this stuff is still so unpalatable."
Roger laughed, handed him a glass of orange juice with one hand, and rubbed his head vigorously with the other hand, "Kid, you did a good job today. In a few years, you might be able to beat me down. I'm really looking forward to it."
Rhett rolled his eyes, "Come on, your observation Haki is like turned on."
Rayleigh came over with a glass of wine, the lenses of his glasses reflecting the golden light of the sunset, "Don't be discouraged, Rhett. You are only 19 years old, and it's outrageous enough that you can fight with Roger to this extent."
Gaban cheered from the side, "That's right! Try harder next time and make the captain sweat more!"
Rhett was listening to everyone's advices and heard Gaban say, "Gaban, what are you talking about? I want to challenge you to a duel."
Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was so relaxed.
