According to "Dogtooth" Rosen.
Every admiral is a monster comparable to a "natural disaster".
Countless pirates have died at their hands, including many who had bounties of over a million gold coins on their heads by the World Government.
Apart from the three generals.
The navy also has dozens of vice admirals, hundreds of rear admirals, and nearly ten million regular navy personnel.
It is the sharpest sword in the hands of the "World Government".
"Three admirals, nearly ten million naval personnel—"
Zhu Yu's brow furrowed as he transmitted the information to his main body. Then, a question struck him. He looked at "Dog Fang" Rosen and asked, "If the Navy is so strong, what about the pirates?"
"Dogtooth" Rosen glanced at him as if he were a country bumpkin, and said arrogantly, "Of course, we're stronger than the Navy—"
He then uttered a series of names.
Finally, with a face full of anger, he snorted, "If it weren't for our lack of unity, the 'World Government' would have been overthrown long ago."
"oh."
Zhu Yu responded with a sound of agreement and then ignored him, his gaze fixed on the gradually emerging outline of the "Sea Wolf Path," thinking to himself, "With 'Hungry Wolf' Joel's' cultivation level, comparable to a second-tier body cultivator, he's not even ranked among the top pirates—"
According to "Dogtooth" Rosen.
The Endless Sea is divided into four sea areas by the Sky Continent where the "World Government" is located, except for the Western Sea where it is located.
There are also the East China Sea, the North China Sea, and the South China Sea, which is the largest and most expansive sea area and is known as a haven for pirates.
And in the South China Sea.
There are also four emperors, eight kings, twelve marquises, and twenty-four great pirates at the top of the world, each with a bounty of no less than "millions" of gold.
The strongest of the Four Emperors pirate crews.
Each of them has fought against one of the three admirals of the navy, with victories and defeats, but they are still active in the "South China Sea" unscathed.
"A pirate crew, huh?"
"Then let's build a teleportation altar in the South China Sea—"
After thinking it over, Zhu Yu decided that after obtaining the "Sea Orchid", he would visit the "Dragon Fang Dojo" to see if there were any "Original Blades" similar to the "Dragon Tail", and then head to the "South Sea".
"What should we call our pirate crew?"
"A cannon fodder pirate crew? —"
As I was thinking this, the boat successfully docked at the pier.
"Hungry Wolf" Joel and "Toothless" Hans, along with several other captains, stood on the dock, clearly aware of their return and having come specifically for them.
"Dogtooth" Rosen leaped onto the dock, grabbed Kuroda Kenichi by the head, and walked forward. He raised his arm, grinned at "Ghost Wolf" Joel, and said, "Boss 'Ghost Wolf,' the pirate hunter 'Dragon Fang Swordsman,' he was—"
Hearing footsteps behind him, he changed his tone, saying in a slightly strange voice, "He was beheaded by Jin Yidao—"
These words were spoken.
Everyone's eyes, including "Hungry Wolf" Joel, were fixed on that unkempt, tall figure with a long sword at his waist, their expressions varying.
At this time.
"Hehehe—"
"Hungry Wolf" Joel suddenly let out a few strange laughs and said, "Jin, you did a great job. After the party, go find 'Toothless' and get a 'Sea Wolf Flower'."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Kuroda Kenichi's head, then turned to look at the pirate underlings below, applying slight pressure with his wolf-claw-like hand.
With a bang—
Kenichi Kuroda's head exploded into a red and white mist of blood, splattering all over "Hungry Wolf" Joel. Coupled with his superhuman physique, he looked like a demon who had walked out of hell in the eyes of the pirates.
next moment.
Its voice, like that of a night owl, resounded throughout.
"No one can covet the 'Garou' Pirates' treasure. Whoever does, must die! —"
"Men, cheer for the pirate hunter 'Dragon Fang Swordsman'! Unlimited drinks and food!"
As he finished speaking, the pirates cheered and shouted incessantly.
"Boss 'Hungry Wolf,' Boss 'Hungry Wolf'—"
Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the pirates...
Led by "Hungry Wolf" Joel.
Zhu Yu and his party entered the warehouse-like building.
There was no nonsense.
It boils down to two words: eat and drink.
Zhu Yuzi wouldn't let the free sea monster meat go to waste, so he ate and drank heartily, occasionally clinking glasses with the captains, including "Hungry Wolf" Joel and "Toothless" Hans.
It appears to be unchanged from before.
But upon closer inspection, it's not hard to see that the captains are noticeably more enthusiastic towards him, clinking glasses with him much more often, and even "Hungry Wolf" Joel is giving him more attention than before.
The banquet lasted for seven days and seven nights.
At this moment, Zhu Yu understood why "Hungry Wolf" Joel raided coastal villages mostly for food—it was all because the "pirates" ate too much.
Take him as an example.
In seven days, not counting the sea monster meat, he felt he had eaten over a thousand catties of meat and at least dozens of barrels of wine.
And what this resulted in was...
His "physical" attribute has broken through three points, and his "qi" is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through one point.
The banquet ended.
From "Hungry Wolf" Joel to the small-time pirates, everyone was fast asleep, and the camp was filled with the sound of snoring.
Houses on the edge of the street.
Zhu Yu pushed open the door expressionlessly, walked straight in, stepped to the jade pot where the "Sea Wolf Flower" was planted, picked a plant and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he packed up the other "Sea Wolf Flowers".
After doing all that, he turned and left the room.
pier.
A lone sail slowly departed from the island and gradually disappeared into the night sky.
At this time.
A series of footsteps sounded.
Led by "Hungry Wolf" Joel, and including captains like "Toothless" Hans and "Dogtooth" Rosen, they stood on the dock, gazing at the gradually disappearing blurry silhouette under the night sky, their expressions varied.
Until the boats and ships are completely out of sight.
"Dogtooth" Rosen looked at "Ghost Wolf" Joel, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Boss 'Ghost Wolf,' you knew 'Gold Tooth Dog' would betray the 'Ghost Wolf' Pirates,' why didn't you kill him—"
The other captains also looked on with puzzlement, which was what they were also confused about. Why had "Hungry Wolf" Joel, known for his brutality, suddenly become so gentle?
Not only did they let "Gold Tooth Dog" go.
She even deliberately threw a banquet and pretended to be drunk, allowing him to steal the "Sea Wolf Flower" and leave unscathed.
"Hehehe—"
Joel the Hungry Wolf's laughter, like that of a night owl, echoed through the night sky. His sinister gaze swept over "Dogtooth" Rosen and the others, his mouth splitting open to reveal his pale, ferocious fangs.
"Why not kill him?"
"Why else could it be? Because I don't want to die!"
He angrily hurled a few insults at the group, kicked "Dog Tooth" Rosen into the sea, and strode heavily toward the camp.
Hans, who was missing a tooth, glanced at the bewildered captains and laughed, "Have you forgotten what kind of 'Sea Gem' our leader, 'Hungry Wolf,' ate? What's more, our leader has also mastered 'Observation Haki.'"
If Gold can make the boss feel threatened, his strength is definitely not what it appears to be, just like the five taels of silver the "World Government" has put on his head.
"Yes, Jin is a 'sword master,' I saw it with my own eyes—"
"Dogtooth" Rosen, who had just climbed out of the sea, clutched his chest and grinned.
"hiss--"
The other team leaders all gasped in unison.
"Gold is so strong, why would he join the 'Garou' Pirates—"
"Could it be that he wanted to take over the 'Garou' Pirates, but then backed down after realizing that 'Garou's' leader was too strong?"
One thought after another arose.
The group exchanged glances, then looked at the house that was occasionally emitting loud bangs, and tacitly returned to their own homes to avoid getting beaten up for nothing.
The sun rises and the moon sets.
This day.
A lone boat braved the wind and waves, heading towards an island like an arrow. When it was ten nautical miles away, the boat suddenly stopped, and a tall, slender figure leaped out of the water and landed on the boat.
Under the sunlight.
With black hair and blue eyes, a resolute face, and a naked upper body like a rock sculpture, one could tell at a glance that he contained immense power.
Zhu Yu casually pulled off the hemp rope from his waist, looked at the island in front of him, and smiled slightly.
"We've finally arrived at Kagoshima!"
He sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, raising his hand to gently pat the seawater beneath the boat. The moment his palm touched the seawater, a dark, solidified color rapidly spread from his palm, reaching his elbow.
next moment.
boom--
With a loud boom, the seawater surged up several meters high, propelling the lone boat rapidly toward Kagoshima.
A merchant ship not far away.
A child exclaimed, "Mommy, look! That boat is flying!"
"You've got it wrong—"
The child's mother looked in the direction he was pointing, her expression changed instantly, she picked up the child, ignored his cries, and turned to walk towards the cabin.
"canoe?"
"Look, isn't there a person sitting at the bow of that canoe?"
"hiss--"
"That must be some powerful 'pirate hunter'—"
"Maybe it's a 'pirate'—"
The other passengers on the merchant ship looked over and exclaimed in surprise, then began to chatter excitedly.
Kagoshima Pier.
Zhu Yu leaped up, glanced around, and landed on a cocky, slovenly man. He flashed in front of him, placed his hand on the man's head, and probed his mind with his divine sense.
Memories flashed by one by one.
Soon, they found the address of the "Dragon Tail Dojo" and the news that there was a naval presence in "Kagoshima".
"navy--"
Zhu Yu casually tossed the dim-witted thug aside and strode toward the town center.
Compared to "Sea Maru Village".
"Deer Town" is too prosperous. The streets are bustling with people, vendors are calling out their wares, children are laughing and running around, and smoke is rising from the chimneys, creating a peaceful scene.
"Is it because there's a naval base there—?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zhu Yu walked along the bustling street. The residents, tourists, and vendors on the street glanced at his indifferent face and then consciously made way for him.
soon.
He then arrived at a courtyard that occupied a considerable area.
Look up.
The four characters "Longwei Dojo" are prominently engraved on the plaque.
Shouts and shouts came from within.
Zhu Yu projected his senses, and various auras of varying strengths appeared in his mind. The strongest of these was even stronger than Kuroda Kenichi, but it was still far from being as powerful as "Hungry Wolf" Joel.
Moreover, its energy is filled with a stale and musty smell.
There aren't many days left to live comfortably.
"One has a physique of around level three, and the other three have a physique of around level two—"
Knowing what was going on, Zhu Yu stepped inside.
The courtyard is spacious.
An old wooden house stands there.
Courtyard platform.
Dozens of boys and girls of varying ages, wielding wooden swords, were meticulously swinging and slashing at the command of a green-haired young instructor.
Upon his arrival.
The green-haired youth hesitated for a moment, his gaze lingering on the long sword at his waist for a split second, before stepping forward and coldly stating, "The 'Dragon Tail Dojo' does not welcome outsiders. Please leave—"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt the person in front of him suddenly disappear, and his pupils contracted instantly.
"not good--"
Immediately, he felt as if he had been hit by a giant sea beast. He heard a series of cracking sounds in his chest and his body flew backward, crashing heavily into the wooden house in the courtyard.
At this time.
An elderly man with white hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of the young man, reached out and caught him safely. He looked at Zhu Yu, and when he saw the long sword at Zhu Yu's waist, he suddenly froze.
Coming to his senses, a chilling killing intent surfaced.
He flashed into the open space in front of the house, stared at the expressionless Zhu Yu for a few moments, then slightly opened his mouth and spoke in an aged voice.
"What happened to Kenichi—"
Zhu Yu said directly, "He's dead." He raised his hand and patted the long sword at his waist, saying, "I really like his sword. Do you still have one?"
He paused, then added, "If you have it, please give it to me; if you don't—"
Zhu Yu said calmly, "Everyone present must die."
97
Kuroda Ryuichi suddenly fell silent.
At this time.
Two middle-aged men in wide robes and a beautiful woman in a blue and white robe emerged from the wooden house.
"Lord Kuroda."
"Grandpa."
The three of them stood behind Kuroda Ryuichi, their eyes fixed on Zhu Yu. Sensing the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him, their expressions became extremely solemn.
Zhu Yu glanced at them, placed his hand on the long sword "Dragon Tail" at his waist, and said calmly, "I'm in a hurry, I'll only give you three breaths."
Before he could speak further, Kuroda Ryuichi said, "Haru, go and fetch the 'Dragon Fang'."
Kuroda Seiji frowned, turned around and went back to the wooden house. A short while later, she came out holding a long sword with a white scabbard.
Kuroda Ryuichi took the ancestral swift sword "Dragon Fang," took a deep breath, and slowly drew the long sword, saying, "Sir, please allow a grandfather's heart to seek revenge for his child—"
""
The words fell.
Zhu Yu felt a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupt from the old man's body, flowing into the long sword in his hand, and his gaze immediately sharpened.
"The old man is playing dumb to fool the wolf—"
Without a second thought, he drew the "dragon tail" from his waist and used his divine sense to control the "qi" flowing into it.
A somber black hue crept up the blade.
Zhu Yu flashed to the front of Kuroda Ryuichi, who was shrouded in white light, and slashed down with both hands.
"die!--"
The "Iron-Cutting" trait is activated, and a ten-foot-long blade emerges, slashing straight down.
"Dragon Travels—"
At that moment, an aged voice slowly rang out.
next moment.
A high-pitched roar, like a dragon's cry, resounded, and the surging white light suddenly transformed into a huge white dragon, instantly engulfing Zhu Yu's figure and plunging into the courtyard wall with a loud boom.
"call--"
Kuroda Ryuichi let out a heavy breath, sheathed his sword, stood with a fierce glint in his eyes, raised his hand and shouted, "Go and find him! I want to know who killed Kenichi—"
"Yes, Lord Kuroda."
The two middle-aged instructors bowed in agreement and were about to go check when the collapsed courtyard wall suddenly exploded open, and a ragged figure stepped out of the deep pit.
Kuroda Ryuichi's pupils contracted, and his arm holding the knife trembled.
"He survived Lord Kuroda's 'Dragon's Journey' attack—"
The two middle-aged instructors swallowed hard.
Haruji Kuroda's face turned pale instantly.
"Old man—"
A chilling voice rang out.
Zhu Yu's figure vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was standing right next to Kuroda Ryuichi, wielding his long sword.
Due to the sudden burst of "qi" from his entire body, the weakened Kuroda Ryuichi was unable to react at all and could only watch helplessly as the blade sliced across his neck and his head flew into the air.
