I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 138 A Weak Era

On Sabaody Archipelago Island 41, after defeating Pedro Saint, the White Wolf Pirates and the giants of Elbaf regrouped.

However, the crew members were not in good condition.

Faced with bizarre Devil Fruit abilities and opponents whose physiques far surpassed their own, Rocks and Newgate fought with all their might, but ultimately could only meet their defeat.

Very unwilling.

But that's the reality.

It's impossible to always encounter an opponent who is just a little bit stronger than you, someone who can help you break through and become stronger in the heat of battle, and then defeat you.

Rocks lay on the deck contemplating life.

After his hearing was impaired, he felt that everything around him was so peaceful.

It should be peaceful!
"Newgate, stop grinning like an idiot!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Lox, I just think losing feels pretty good."

Newgate is an orphan.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always relied on himself to make a living. Even when he was bullied in the orphanage, no one would stand up for him.

So this is the first time.

Although he lost, those who bullied him were defeated by Monge.

This is family!

Newgate thought to himself.

It wasn't because of self-interest, but rather a purer emotion that brought them together.

He was bullied.

Brother Rocks will stand up for him.

Captain Montgomery will stand up for him.

In the past, this was something Newgate wouldn't have dared to even dream of.

So even if we lose.

Newgate wasn't as upset as he'd imagined.

"Tsk!"

Rocks rested his head on his hand.

Although he didn't know what Newgate was talking about, after mastering Observation Haki, he could roughly understand what Newgate meant.

madness!

What kind of strong person entrusts their safety to others?
The Knights of God are immortal.

Locus knew this from the beginning, but he had considered that even if there was no way to break the enemy's immortality...

As long as he can hold off the enemy, it is also a victory for him.

but.

He couldn't even do something as simple as this.

Moreover, the opponent he couldn't defeat even with all his might was instantly killed by Monger, without even a chance to fight back.

"This can't go on like this."

He's not Newgate; he has no ambition, he just wants a family.

He is not Lipley either.

He only joined the ship because of Monger, and his greatest wish was to surpass Harald the Giant King.

What he wants is to surpass Munger!
Rocks made up his mind.

On the other side, Munger was explaining the abilities of the knights before God to Harald.

After all, there is a ready-made sample here.

"Damn pirates, if you have the guts, kill me!"

For the first time, Pedro regretted having an immortal body.

Monger completely treated him as a sample.

You won’t die anyway.

Cut off their hands and feet, and sever their heads.

If you can't get yourself killed, then keep doing it; even throw him into the sea.

He's a Devil Fruit user!
Even if Monger hadn't frozen his body, most Devil Fruit users would lose their fighting ability upon contact with seawater.

He is also included.

But he is immortal; he can't drown even if you throw him into the water.

But the process wasn't so pleasant.

"So that's how it is. Is this what immortality is?" "I haven't found a way to completely break immortality yet. Armament Haki only slows down their recovery. Compared to killing them directly, freezing them is simpler."

"What about Conqueror's Haki?"

"The highest level of Conqueror's Haki should be enough."

"."

Monger grabbed Pedro Saint's hair, cutting wounds on his body with a knife to test the healing effect, while chatting with Harald.

"Compared to using Armament Haki to restrict them, Conqueror's Haki is certainly a more effective and permanent solution, but unfortunately, even my Conqueror's Haki cannot completely kill these idiot Celestial Dragons."

"If even you can't do it, I can't think of anyone else who can."

Harald shook his head.

Monger's Conqueror's Haki is already at the highest level in the world. If even Monger's Conqueror's Haki cannot break through the Celestial Dragons' immortality, then probably no one in this era can do it.

"Our era is truly weak!"

Monger couldn't help but laugh at himself, saying that in the past hundred years, the number of pirates who could be called the overlords of the sea could be counted on one hand.

Among these pirates, even the strongest might not have reached his current level.

Not to mention the future.

Monger knew that in the God Valley War twenty years later...

There are several pirates who can rival him.

Compared to the future, the only ones who are truly formidable among the pirates right now are him and Harald.

We might add Rona later.

"When you meet up with Wernher von Braun later, you're not going to get into a fight with her, are you?"

"I won't lay a hand on her."

Harald glanced at his leg, which he had replaced with a branch of the Adam Tree after it broke off.

shook his head.

“I don’t resent her. It’s all about the winner and the loser. She was just following orders.”

In fact, the Navy had every reason to arrest him; given what he had done in his youth, the Navy's attack on Elbaf was entirely justified.

Looking back at history.

The giants were indeed guilty of numerous crimes.

So when Lorna, acting as a Marine, arrested him, a former pirate, Harald had no complaints. In fact, Lorna even let him go in the end; otherwise, none of his guards would have been able to escape.

Harald, a pirate, fought against Lorna, a Marine.

There's nothing to complain about, whether you win or lose.

Instead, his guards escaped and notified the giants in various villages, allowing many ordinary giants to hide and escape unharmed.

As the king of a nation, he owes Rona a debt of gratitude.

"Haha, look at how composed you are now. You would never have imagined this decades ago, you butcher of the giants!"

Seeing Harald's appearance, Munger couldn't help but burst into laughter. You see, half of the giants' infamy was caused by the Giant Warrior Pirates, and the other half was caused by Harald.

Forty years ago, Harald was not the pacifist he is today.

"That's all in the past."

"I remember when I first went to sea, the villagers told me that no matter what, if I encountered a giant, I should run away!"

Monger smiled.

"In the end, I actually became friends with a giant."

I never imagined this day would come.

Harald looked at the distant sky and suddenly stood up and spoke.

"I can sense the presence of General Scarlet Serpent. We should go and meet her."

"We've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time."

Monger shrugged and gestured to Dean.

"I'm counting on you to take care of Rocks and the others."

Although he knew that Lox was in a bad mood, Monger didn't have time to comfort him now. No matter how strong a person is, they all grow from failure.

If you can't even handle one failure.

How can we then become the future sea overlord who challenges the Celestial Dragons?
This is a weak era.

But what followed was a brand new dawn.

Let's usher in a new era!
