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

Chapter 140 The Battle of Mary Geoise!

The battle is about to break out.

Needless to say.

Wearing the same robes as the Knights of God, the old man with platinum blonde hair was the first to make a move.

"cut!"

It seems slow, but it is actually fast.

Figarando Lucas drew his sword and swung it. The moment he swung the sword, it seemed as if space itself was distorted. A slash that spanned a thousand meters crossed the distance of several hundred meters between Mongo and them.

He appeared in front of Munger in an instant.

"Haha, good time!"

When Monger saw Figalando Lucas swing his sword, his eyes lit up.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Figarando Lucas's sword strike was a pinnacle of skill that Monger had never seen before.

Figarando Lucas extended a warm invitation.

How could Munger possibly show weakness?
"Winter!"

It was the same slash, carrying extreme cold. Through years of training, Monger had long since integrated his Devil Fruit ability into his swordsmanship.

Simultaneously.

"Roar--"

White wolf fur grew from Munger's face, and at the same time, Munger's limbs began to grow long and thick. Cold currents formed by ice air surrounded Munger's body like ribbons.

Monger showed his full strength from the very beginning.

"The state after a Zoan-type Devil Fruit awakens? Hmph, what an ugly sight!"

"Haha, I think it's pretty cool!"

He didn't care about what Figarando Lucas said. Before the system appeared, the reason he was able to make a good name for himself in the first half of his life was entirely due to this Devil Fruit.

Even if time were reversed and he went back to the past, he would still eat it without hesitation.

boom----!
The collision of Monger and Figalando Lucas's slashes created a massive, clearly defined crack at the center of the impact. In Monger's direction, the cracks were formed by condensed ice pillars, while in Figalando Lucas's direction, they were like a spiderweb of destructive fissures.

Glancing around at the slaves who hadn't completely evacuated, Munger didn't hesitate.

Facing three top-tier experts on the other side.

Instead of retreating, Munger advanced.

"Come!!"

"Hmph, arrogant!"

Figarando Lucas Saint did not expect that Mongo would still dare to launch an attack after seeing the three of them.

"It seems my stupid son has given you some misconceptions."

Black and red lightning erupted from Figarando Lucas in an instant.

The terrifying atmosphere made the surrounding slaves feel suffocated.

"Mere pirates—"

The distance between Monger and Figalando Lucas was erased in an instant.

The clash of knives and swords.

No.

There was no collision at all.

Before the sword and blade actually clashed, they collided in the void.

Overlord color entanglement!
Boom!

The air around Mongols and Figalando Lucas seemed to be torn into pieces, and black and red lightning, like thousands of lightning snakes, crawled across the entire sky of Mary Geoise.

Everyone's movements froze.

Whether it was the slaves running away or the Celestial Dragons guarding them, they all seemed to have been detached from the real world and turned into a still painting.

"very scary!"

"Am I going to die?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have run away!"

"..."

Many slaves knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. Many slaves had been branded with the hooves of Celestial Dragons since childhood, and their fear of the Celestial Dragons was deeply ingrained in their bones.

Even if someone releases them, they still dare not bravely resist when pursued by the Celestial Dragons.

"I see. No wonder Grand Saint lost to you. You are indeed no ordinary pirate!"

Figarando Lucas's gaze turned calm.

"And to actually be distracted by protecting those lowly slaves, pirates are indeed pirates."

"Haha, shouldn't I feel honored to be spoken to like that by a esteemed Celestial Dragon?"

Despite saying this, Monger's aura continued to rise, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter. The Conqueror's Haki that clashed with Figarando Lucas seemed to pour out without end.

"But even if I'm distracted by protecting those slaves, your Conqueror's Haki doesn't seem to be as strong as mine!"

Monger burst into laughter. Originally, Figarando Lucas's attack would have affected the surrounding slaves, and even the release of Conqueror's Haki would have caused many weaker slaves to faint.

However, Monger blocked all of Figarando Lucas's attacks, and even wrapped Figarando Lucas's Conqueror's Haki in his own Conqueror's Haki, preventing Figarando Lucas's Conqueror's Haki from affecting anyone.

But there was even more to do, and Figarando Lucas still couldn't suppress Monger.

This one clash alone clearly showed the difference in skill between the two.

Figarando Lucas's face slowly darkened.

He actually lost the battle against Conqueror's Haki?
Just then, a gust of wind swept past him. Figarando Lucas wanted to stop the other party, but considering the current situation in Mary Geoise, he held back.

"Stephens, take care of him!"

"As ordered!"

This was an elderly man dressed in a white suit, looking meticulous, but compared to other elderly people of similar age, Stephens' physical condition was clearly much better.

Munger was met head-on by Stephens' powerful claw strike.

"Lion Spear!"

"Haha, good time!"

Knowing all along that this battle wouldn't be an easy one-on-one fight, Monger never expected Lucas Saint to fight him one-on-one. If Lucas Saint really had that kind of pride, his Conqueror's Haki would definitely not be limited to this level.

With a single strike, Lucas Saint was forced back, and Monger turned to face Stephens.

"Sword Star!"

With his fingers forming a sword and covered in Armament Haki, Monger was not afraid to clash head-on with anyone, even if the attacker was a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user like himself.

Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Griffin Mode!
"Monger, you're still the same as ever!"

"Haha, each other!"

Monger's sword finger and Stephens' claw strike collided, and a terrifying shockwave erupted from the center of their collision once again. Armament Haki, amplified in its destructive power, tore the ground apart like tofu, forcing a group of slaves to flee away from Monger and Stephens.

This time, Monger was no longer able to protect the slaves.

"Help!"

"I don't want to run away anymore!"

"my leg!"

"..."

A significant number of slaves gave up on escaping altogether, while another group fell into fear.

Until Monger's voice rang out.

"What are you doing? Freedom is right in front of you, do you want to give it up?"

"If that's the case, why did you remove the shackles?"

Why do you want to run away?

Monger did offer them a choice. He told Rona from the beginning that they could only save those slaves who still wanted to pursue freedom, not those whose hearts had already become slaves. Anyone willing to break free of their shackles was at least willing to pursue freedom.

The slaves of the Celestial Dragons are the lowest-ranking laborers, their lives entirely at the mercy of the Celestial Dragons. In Mary Geoise, countless slaves are killed every day for accidentally angering the Celestial Dragons, or even if a Celestial Dragon finds a slave an eyesore while passing by.

In this context, fleeing Mary Geoise was not merely about pursuing freedom.

It's all for survival!
“Monger, it’s no use. These stupid and lowly slaves don’t dare to resist us.”

"The Celestial Dragons are gods; how can humans rebel against gods?"

Stephens remained calm. This wasn't the first time he had fought Monger. Just as Monger had fought against two generations of naval admirals, Stephens, as the current commander of the CP organization, belonged to the same era as Monger and had also fought against him.

However, the Mongols of the past simply did not have the strength to fight them head-on like they do now.

"Monger, what on earth happened to you?!"

Stephens' voice was like muffled thunder, and at the same time his body transformed, his head became like an eagle's, his hands became huge, and a pair of wings grew from his back. As the only general-level powerhouse in the CP organization, his strength was far beyond what Grindelwald could match.

"Haha, if you want to know, beat me!"

Monger laughed loudly, his aura rising continuously, as if there was no end in sight.

Regardless of the battles with Sora, Ortega, or Grand Saint, none of them pushed Monger to his limits. With the assistance of Dorry and Brogy, no one could put any pressure on him in a one-on-one situation.

Monger has become stronger.

Even he himself didn't know just how strong he had become.

Therefore, he needs to fight, and he needs to use fighting to determine his strength, just like a tiger that always needs to fight to determine its position in the food chain.

And now it seems.

"No way! Neither you nor I can beat me alone!"

Monger's white hair danced wildly as he faced off against Stephens and Lucas Saint, two top-tier powerhouses, without flinching in the slightest.

"Come on, kill me, or I'll kill you!"

In the eyes of Stephens and Lucas, the half-human, half-wolf man before them was utterly arrogant.

"Where do you think this is?"

"This is the Holy Land, Mary Geoise!"

Stephens and Lucas Saint roared simultaneously, abandoning their pride as powerful beings, and launched an attack on Monger at the same time.

"Haha, this is more interesting!"

With the power of Conqueror's Haki, Munger was like a fearsome demon god, his terrifying aura soaring to the heavens.

If you look down from high above, you'll see that the clouds surrounding Mary Geoise resemble a giant vortex, and at the center of that vortex is Mongo, who looks like a demon.

As his physique continued to improve, Munger gradually developed new abilities, not based on Devil Fruits, but on his physique, based on the combination of Zoan-type Devil Fruits and his own regenerative abilities.

Monger's heart began to beat faster, and his body temperature gradually rose, but because of his unique fruit ability with a freezing effect, it was maintained at a relatively balanced level.

The awakened form of a Devil Fruit is itself a kind of enhanced state.

Monger's current state is equivalent to a further enhancement of his original enhanced form.

Ordinary people simply cannot withstand such a burden, but thanks to Monger's powerful recovery ability, his body can fully withstand the burden of the two enhancements.

Then, Monger moved.

At this moment, Munger doesn't look like a man in his seventies at all.

Instead, he's like a young man who's daring and reckless, squandering his physical potential because of his youth and strength!

Both Stephens and Lucas Saint saw only a pale figure enveloped in black and red lightning, with the black and red lightning dragging a sharp longsword.

A hundred meters can be covered in an instant.

Munger appeared before Stephens.

"really!"

Stephens was not surprised to see Mongo attack him first, after all, Saint Lucas was immortal, and he would definitely choose an easier enemy to deal with if he were in his place.

But he's not some weakling that Monger can easily manipulate!

"Monger!!!"

"Stephens!!!"

Monger and Stephens roared simultaneously, their auras reaching their peak.

"Lion King Spear!"

"Dragon slayer!"

boom! !

When Monger's Conqueror's Haki clashed with Stephens' Armament Haki, Monger could sense that Stephens' Armament Haki was no weaker than that of Ortega, the strongest admiral in the Navy. In addition, with the enhancement of his physique from the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, the pressure from a head-on collision between Stephens and Ortega was even greater.

But Monger used the maximum intensity of Conqueror's Haki he could unleash!

The overwhelming power of Conqueror's Haki ultimately surpasses Armament Haki!
So Stephens only held out against Monger for a moment before his Armament Haki was completely suppressed by Monger, and an irresistible force emanated from Monger's longsword.

Sharp, and unstoppable!

puff!
Monger blasted Stephens' fist away with a single strike, the blade slicing into Stephens' chest from a distance. A large string of blood droplets splattered from Stephens' chest, and his body was thrown backward uncontrollably. Under the impact of Conqueror's Haki, he flew over a thousand meters in an instant.

This power—

Outrageous!

Even his consciousness became somewhat blurred. After Monge unleashed his full power, his strength was at least half a level higher than his. He could hold out for a short time, but if he were to collide head-on with Monge...

He can't hold on for long!
Both being Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, he not only fell behind in the contest of Haki, but also couldn't gain any advantage over Monger in terms of strength and speed.

Monger's strength is all-encompassing.

If someone is weaker than him, and he gains the upper hand, he can easily defeat them with a single combo.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone!

boom! !

Taking advantage of the moment when Mongo's old power was exhausted and his new power had not yet been generated, Lucas Saint launched a fierce attack.

Even Monger would have to go all out to suppress Stephens.

This gave Lucas Saint an opportunity.

Monger might be half a level stronger than Stephens, but Lucas Saint and Monger are definitely on the same level of strength.

If he weren't immortal, he might not be a match for Monger.

But relying on his immortality, he dared to fight Monge to the death. He was not afraid of death, but was Monge not afraid either?

"Hahaha, let's fight!"

Monger let out a wild laugh. Although he shouldn't have been able to exert any force, he forcibly mobilized his strength in an extremely strange posture, colliding his longsword with Saint Lucas's longsword.

boom----! ! !
The earth beneath the feet of Mongols and Lucas was shattered.

"Glindwin!!"

Lucas roared, urging the last top expert on the field to deliver the fatal blow to Monger.

Upon hearing Lucas's words, Grindelwald shuddered.

He realized this was an opportunity. Although Monger was now stronger than he was in Elbaf, he absolutely did not have the strength to deal with a powerhouse who was almost at the level of an admiral.

He is now the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"I am coming!"

Grindelwald let out a loud falcon cry.

"Prepare to die, Monger!!"

He wanted revenge for the battle of Elbaf, because that defeat almost cost him his current position.

But now is the chance to make amends!
However, Monger dared to face three top experts at the same time because he had his own reasons.

All my attention was drawn to Munger.

Everyone forgot that there was a fifth top-tier powerhouse on the field—the Giant King Harald!

"Hegemony!!!"

A terrifying gale swept across the entire area in an instant.
