One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Loya put on a cloak and a hood.

"Crack!"

Lightning struck the seawater beside the warship, illuminating Loya's face.

Draw your sword and point it forward!

"Pull the boat over!"

"Yes!"

The warships quickly approached the shore despite the thunderstorm.

The people in the port frowned when they spotted the warship. Raijin Island was a paradise for pirates and didn't welcome the navy.

The navy quickly landed.

"Crack!"

A dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Bartolomeo precisely, causing him to collapse to the ground, convulsing in terror.

"I'm going to die! I've been struck by lightning!"

"Huh, I'm not dead?"

"My body feels numb!"

After lying on the ground for a while, Barto got up, full of questions. He had thought he was going to die.

"This lightning protection suit is quite amazing."

Barto curiously tugged at his lightning protection suit; if it hadn't been for the suit protecting him from the lightning strike, he would have been in serious trouble.

The others glanced at Barto and silently distanced themselves.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry."

Loya stroked his chin.

Information about Raijin Island is scarce, and even the marines of the G-5 branch rarely venture to this dangerous island.

Everything is unknown.

Loya looked at his subordinates: "Smoker, you take Barto to the eastern region. Tina, you and Brigadier General Guotou go to the western region. Act according to the situation, and seek support immediately if you encounter danger."

"understand!"

Everyone nodded and went their separate ways.

There is only one small town on the island, where all the pirates gather.

Loya, with Lu Yun in tow, proceeded leisurely along the main road.

The island was dark, with the only light source being the continuous lightning strikes from the sky; the eerie climate created an eerie environment.

Loya felt like he had stepped into a scene from a horror movie.

Gloomy and terrifying.

"Even the ground was black."

The streets were covered in charred marks, and the surrounding houses were all built with special materials, with roofs covered with the same material as lightning protection suits.

Seemingly having received advance notice, the shops on both sides of the street closed their doors and windows, and people peeked at Loya from behind their windows.

There are only three types of people who can survive on such an island: pirates, the descendants of pirates, and speculators who want to make a fortune from pirates.

Lu Yun was very interested in the island's climate and felt relaxed. The unknown can cause fear, but she knew very well the reasons for the climate here.

Ability Awakening!

"Senior, what should we do now?"

"Let's find a place to rest."

Loya raised his hand and pointed to the brightly lit tavern ahead.

"Then, wait for the guests to arrive!"

Dressrosa, the port.

The pirate ship with the smiling skull raised its sails, ready to set sail at any moment.

On the shore, a short boy wearing a horned hat raised his hands and said, "Lord Diamanti, please take me with you!"

"Hahaha, Deringer, when you grow up a little more, you can come and join us."

Diamanti stood on the deck, accompanied by the three top fighters of the Fighting Legion: Rao G, Señor, and Mahabais.

Señor, sucking on his pacifier, had a smug look on his face: "Little brat, we're going to assassinate the enemy this time. The fewer people, the better. You'll only cause trouble."

"Señor! You're underestimating me!"

Deringer was furious. Although he was only 13 years old, he had already made a name for himself in the arena. He was very strong, you know.

"Hmph, Señor is right, you'll only cause trouble."

Rao G chimed in, saying that the target of this assassination was not simple, and they couldn't afford to bring someone who would be a hindrance, since it wasn't a family operation.

"Stop arguing, let's go!"

Chapter 127 Want to play a game of Gwent?

"Squeak~~"

The tavern door was pushed open.

"Lu Yun, it seems we're quite popular."

Loya stood at the entrance, leisurely looking around the interior of the tavern.

The layout of the tables and chairs had clearly changed. There was only one round table in the center of the hall, with the area facing the door empty, as if it had been prepared specifically for him, and playing cards were placed on the table.

The tables and chairs around the hall were all occupied by guests, and even the second floor was packed with people. Many people were leaning on the railings, staring at them menacingly, as there were no seats available.

This doesn't look like a tavern.

It's clearly a den of thugs!

The bar counter was right next to the entrance. The bartender, with a gloomy expression, said, "Wait a minute, weapons are stored at the entrance. That's the rule."

"OK!"

Loya shrugged, took off his cloak, then took the Rain Cutter from his waist and handed it to the bartender: "Handle with care, this is a one-in-a-million sword."

"clear."

The bartender nodded indifferently and hung the rain cutter on the wall beside him.

Loya stretched and sat down in the empty seat reserved for him, looking at the bearded man across the table.

"You don't mind if I sit down, do you?"

“You’re already seated, Black Hair.”

The bearded man, a cigar dangling from his lips, stared at Loya with a murderous glint in his eyes.

Loya became interested.

"Oh, you know me?"

"Every pirate operating in these waters knows you!"

In recent months, pirates entering the New World have suffered heavy casualties, less than half of what they would normally suffer, and this is all the work of Black Hair.

Pirates operating in the nearby waters had long remembered Black Hair's name, and even pirates deep in the New World had heard of him.

Among the new pirates each year, the Supernovas are the most watched, and the Navy's Supernovas are also closely watched by pirates!

"Black-haired" Loya, the Navy's mad dog!

The bearded man's gaze was icy as he spoke slowly and deliberately: "A month ago, you killed my younger brother."

"Sorry, I don't remember."

Loya shrugged.

"Humph!"

The bearded man snorted coldly, showing no intention of seeking revenge immediately, but instead gave a wink to his companion at the table.

"Licensing!"

Four players, each with five cards.

Loya revealed his cards; his highest card was a nine, he didn't have a pair, and the suits were all mixed up.

Ha, even cheating is so vulgar.

"Open the cards, Black Hair."

The bearded man grinned.

"If you lose, you will die!"
