One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 228 Iron Arm and Iron Man

In the town in the center of Urukum, Weber held a thick iron rod in his hand, and a group of blacksmiths were lying around him.

"Too weak, your fists can't protect anything."

Weber looked calm.

Just as he was unable to protect the Hidden Cloud Village from Eneel's hands, these blacksmiths before him were unable to protect their homes from him.

Weber, who was once oppressed, finally became the one who oppressed others.

But this is how the world is, either you become the prey or you become the hunter.

He didn't want to be oppressed again like he was before. As a prey, he could only become a hunter.

"Which blind bastard is causing trouble in Urukum?"

With a huge roar, a figure rushed out from a distance, holding an extremely huge weapon and stabbed Weber fiercely.

when--!
Weber swung the iron rod in his hand, and it collided with the opponent's sword. The huge force from it made Weber's body retreat slightly.

The long sword was blocked by Weber. Squard's face became a little serious, but he was not panicked at all. His left hand was still holding the hilt of the sword, but his body suddenly flew into the air. With the force of the flip, he stepped on the sword with one foot and used the strength of his whole body to press the weapon heavily to the opposite side.

At the same time, Squard drew another weapon from his waist with his right hand. When the opponent was frustrated by his sudden burst of power, he swung the weapon in his other hand and hit Weber's head hard.

In the world of pirates, there is no such nonsense. Since the other party dares to cause trouble in the territory under your care, you must be prepared to die.

It was the other party who caused trouble first. With the support of his white-bearded father, Squard was not afraid of anyone.

The sharp blade slashed down and split Weber's head without any obstruction, but there was no joy on Squard's face.

The feeling coming from the blade was not right.

call--

The snowflakes dancing in the air suddenly spun violently, releasing an even stronger chill, which made Squard, who had drunk several bowls of liquor, feel a deep, bone-chilling chill.

"This is···!"

Squard's face changed drastically. With a "bang", he slammed the long knife in his left hand to the ground. He quickly retracted the short knife in his right hand and looked at the enemy in front of him cautiously.

The opponent's split head had turned into white snow at some point, and other parts of the body also turned into snowflakes as the cold air was released. As the cold became more and more intense, they turned into a fierce blizzard flying around.

"Natural type!"

As an old pirate who has been in the New World for many years, how could Squard not recognize the abilities used by the enemy in front of him.

But when did such a person with natural abilities appear?

I have never seen the other party's bounty.

As the pirate captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Squard has always been paying attention to the bounties on various newcomers.

As an extremely rare user of natural abilities, Squard will never forget information about a person as long as a bounty is offered.

"You are Scuyard the Great Vortex Spider."

Weber's figure was looming in the snow, and the voice came from nowhere.

"You are quite knowledgeable and know my name!"

Squard sheathed his broadsword aside and clutched his other weapon.

Facing such a flexible opponent, using a broadsword is definitely not a wise choice.

Although the broadsword has higher attack power and damage, it is not as flexible to use as the dagger.

"If I remember correctly, there is no Whitebeard flag flying on this island."

Weber tried to test it.

According to Captain Rhodes' instructions, their immediate goal is to expand their sphere of influence, but this expansion does not include competing with the Four Emperors for territory.

If this is really the sphere of influence of the Whitebeard Pirates, he will have to reconsider whether to continue the mission. At least he should call Captain Rhodes first and wait for his latest instructions.

"This is the island of my big brother [Iron Arm] Mako. If you want to cause trouble here, you must first consult the knife in my hand!"

"I see."

Weber's mind raced and he quickly understood what the other party meant. The blizzard around him became even more intense.

"For the sake of Whitebeard's name, I will spare your life!"

The blizzard swirled, and soon a huge snow tornado formed on Urukum Island. The flying snowflakes completely obscured Squard's vision, making him unable to see even the enemy.

Not only that, the violently spinning snowflakes became extremely sharp in the biting cold, like tiny blades, cutting on Squard's body and quickly consuming his domineering aura.

"Young people nowadays are too arrogant!"

Domineering aura surged out of his body, quickly covering the weapon in Squard's hand. As his arms danced quickly, he created a vortex airflow around Squard by dancing his weapon, competing with Weber's blizzard.

"My weapon is flying like a whirlpool, attracting enemies!"

The giant vortex spider Squard is good at wielding a big sword. When his weapon is swung, it can even create a strong airflow that draws the surrounding enemies towards the center as if they were in a whirlpool. Once he swings his weapon, the enemies are like prey trapped in a spider web, with nowhere to escape.

"How can a mere whirlpool be compared to a blizzard?"

The wind and snow gathered around Weber, and the originally short pair of wings behind him quickly grew larger and spread out. Under the influence of his ability, they transformed into a pair of huge wings. Every feather on the wings was made of ice and snow, like a sharp blade, as if it could split everything in half.

when--!
Amid the wind and snow, there were bursts of violent collision sounds again, and blood occasionally splattered, dyeing the white snowflakes into deep red.

···
stab-

The two figures crossed each other in an instant, Bonis slowly stood up, then turned and looked at the enemy he had just fought.

His body turned into a blade and was wrapped in Armament Haki, but this attack failed to hurt the opponent's arm and instead made a sharp and piercing sound.

The opponent's body is very hard and strong!

"Who are you?"

[Iron Arm] Marco looked at the burly man with a buzz cut in front of him and felt something was wrong.

Although he has retired, because of the huge benefits on the island of Urukum, [Iron Arm] Mako has never given up training his own strength.

As a former pirate, he knew the situation of this world too well. Without power, he could not protect anything, whether it was this island or his own wealth.

The man in front of him was actually able to fight him head-on without losing. He was definitely not a simple character.

With the poverty of Urukum, even if the town occasionally forged a few weapons comparable to the "good sharp sword", it would not attract such an enemy.

Could it be that someone has discovered the information about the island’s mineral deposits?

Mako's heart tightened.

"Urukum is just a poor little island. There is nothing worthy of your attention."

"You are the strongest person on this island."

Bonis did not answer Marco's question, but just twisted his neck and loosened his tie a little.

"The order I received is to occupy this island. As long as I defeat you again, no one on this island will dare to resist."

The security company members who landed with Bonis and Weber have dispersed. Under the leadership of team leaders, they are dealing with other people in the town who dared to resist. The two cadres, Bonis and Weber, only need to deal with the strong men on the island.

“I’ve been looked down upon.”

Mako sighed, a complicated expression on his face.

Although he had already decided to retire from society, when he saw that the newcomers really couldn't recognize his identity at all, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

"I hope you can maintain this attitude later when I crush your body inch by inch."

Mako stretched out his hands, and a powerful domineering aura surged out of his body, dyeing his hands a layer of black.

His already sturdy body became even stronger, and his strong muscles, surrounded by his domineering aura, reflected a metallic luster.

He is a great pirate known as Iron Arm, with a bounty of 4 million berries!

boom! ! !
The next moment, the two sturdy bodies collided suddenly. Bonis's hands turned into blades and grabbed Marco's arms, but the blade that could cut even steel could not cut off Marco's arms.

Marco bent his arms slightly, twisted his body, and suddenly hit Bonis in the face with an elbow.

An elbow as hard as steel, wrapped in armed color, hit Bonis' face hard, causing his head to tilt back sharply.

But as his body leaned back, Bonis kicked out with his right leg, and his calf turned into a blade as it kicked out, combined with the technique of "Mist Kick", and a powerful slash was made at Marco's body.

Marco held down Bonis's shoulders, flipped his body suddenly and landed behind Bonis, avoiding Bonis's slash and punched Bonis in the back again.

bass--

A sharp blade suddenly emerged from Bonis' body and met Marco's fist. At the same time, the ground under Bonis' feet turned into ice knives, driving his body to spin at high speed, and the blades that emerged from various parts of his body cut violently.

呲呲呲——

Marco slapped out with his palm, and Bonis's blade rubbed against his hands wildly, making a sharp explosion.

"Bonis, my name is Daz Bonis."

The two were at a distance from each other. Bonis looked at the strong man opposite him and suddenly spoke.

Under his fierce attack, the man's arm remained uninjured. Such a powerful enemy should be treated seriously by him.

"My name is Mako!"

Sensing Bonis's emotions, Marco couldn't help but smile and also gave his own name.

He seemed to have found again the feeling he had when he first ventured into the sea.

···
On the other side of Urukum, outside the underground mine, [Greatsword] Swain was arranging things.

In order to hide the secrets of the island, Marco deliberately placed the mining area underground.

In fact, Urukum is very rich in mineral resources. As long as the top layer of stone wall is destroyed, it will become an open-pit ore vein that is most convenient for mining.

However, in order to protect the secrets of the island from being discovered, Marco did not use the simplest and most convenient mining method. Instead, he deliberately carried out excavation and let the people he robbed mine underground.

This would be greatly beneficial for their management. All they had to do was guard the exit of the mine, and there would be no possibility for those people to escape.

Because Captain Marco specifically instructed that there was an important banquet tonight, Swain hurried to arrange personnel after returning.

After all matters concerning the mine were settled, Swain finally turned around with peace of mind and headed for the town on the other side of the island.

"The wind and snow on the island today are a little different."

Swain glanced at the sky and saw that a snowstorm seemed to be brewing in the direction of the town.

"I heard that in addition to Squard, there will be new friends coming to the party, so Captain Marco has specially prepared two weapons that were just completed some time ago, and they have reached the level of [Good Sharp Swords]. "

Thinking of the two knives he had seen before, Swain couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

The iron ore produced in the mine of Urukum is of very high quality. Even the blacksmiths on the island can create high-quality weapons that are comparable to the [Good and Sharp Sword] one after another.

I heard that in Wano Country, there is a special kind of ore called sake iron ore. The weapons made from that kind of ore are of very high quality and are the most sought-after commodity in the underground world.

This kind of ore from Urukum is probably a very powerful ore. It seems a bit of a pity to sell it just like that, but they are just pirates and there is no other way except to sell it directly.

If it could be mined on a large scale and then directly turned into weapons for sale, it should be possible to make more money.

Thinking about all these things in his mind, Swain quickly rushed towards the town.

There was a slight delay in transporting the ore, so the banquet over there must have already started.

I don’t know who the friend that Squard invited is. It would be great if he was also a pirate captain under the Whitebeard Pirates.

As the pirate captain under the Whitebeard Pirates, the name of Squard is quite intimidating. With his care, Urukum's ore transportation has been smooth sailing over the years.

If they can get to know the pirate captains of the Whitebeard Pirates this time, it will be easier for them to raise the flag in the future. Even if Captain Marco does not bring them to join the Whitebeard Pirates, they can still scare a lot of timid guys.

This is of great benefit to their business.

With the expectation of making new friends, Swayne rushed to the town in the wind and snow.

At the same time, in another direction of Urukum, a pirate ship broke through the ice.
