One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Near Shuangyue Village, there is a secluded and beautiful lakeside.

Pink cherry blossoms dotted the lush green grass. Ginny, arm in arm with Big Bear, slowly walked along the flower-strewn path.

"Bear, you stepped on me!"

Ginny chuckled and patted the big bear lightly.

Big Bear scratched his head, his already red face turning even redder.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it might be because my suit is a bit tight."

He awkwardly tugged at his stretched-out trousers, his face dripping with sweat.

"Hehe! I think Big Bear Boy is just too nervous!"

Ivankov burst into laughter, clutching his stomach, and the dozen or so guests around him joined in.

There weren't many people attending the wedding, but they were all close friends that Big Bear and Ginny absolutely trusted.

Ginny adjusted her pristine white wedding dress, raised her face, and gave a gentle smile.

"If Xiongxiong isn't feeling well, we can cancel the wedding."

The bear immediately panicked:

"That won't do!"

He was the one who proposed the wedding. At first, Ginny was worried that holding a wedding was too dangerous, but Big Bear insisted on it.

The thought of Ginny almost being kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons filled him with panic, and he secretly vowed to love this girl with all his might from now on.

What others have, my wife should have too!

Ginny chuckled:

"Let's hurry up and go up on stage, okay? I can't wait to hear you take your oath!"

At this moment, Sith, who was standing on the stage as the officiant, smiled and said:

"Ginny, if you're in a hurry, just bring the teddy bear over here."

Ginny slapped her forehead:

"Great idea!"

She stretched out her hands, picked up the teddy bear in a princess carry, and ran away.

As a high-ranking revolutionary army officer who loves to eat meat, I still have that much strength!

"Huh?!?"

Big Bear had never imagined such a scene. He panicked and covered his face with his hands, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

With a thud, Ginny stepped onto the stage, put the teddy bear down, and grinned broadly at Sith:

"Let's get started!"

Sith smiled and nodded, his steady voice coming from beneath the clown mask:

"Bartholomew Bear, do you take Ginny to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

Big Bear was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and he answered loudly while sobbing:

"I...I do!"

Sith turned to Ginny:

"Ginny, are you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ginny had already jumped onto the bear like a koala.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Sith threw down the microphone and clapped his hands.

"Let's skip the formalities and congratulate the newlyweds!"

The simple wedding quickly came to an end, and everyone returned to Shimotsuki Village. Koushirou had already prepared a banquet and invited the entire village to attend. As for the reason for holding the banquet—

According to Koushirou, there was no particular reason; he was just happy!

"Can we talk alone?"

Dorrag suddenly found him.

Sith nodded, and the two of them sat down in a corner.

"Thanks."

Dorrag poured him a glass of wine himself, a bright smile spreading across his usually cold face.

He knew that if it weren't for Sith, Ginny of the Big Bear's ending would never have been as wonderful as it is today.

Sith laughed heartily:

"It's too early to say thank you now. Let's wait until our plan succeeds."

Dorrag pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"Siss, this is what I want to talk to you about."

"This is too dangerous; I advise you not to get involved personally!"

If they were to actually disrupt the Celestial Dragons' hunting competition, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Knights of God, or even more terrifying beings.

Over the years, he has often dreamed of God Valley, of those immortal monsters from the World Government.

To this day, he still remembers the shock he felt at the time, and he knows that there is only one way to kill the monster—

Conqueror's Haki!

However, Sith doesn't seem to have Conqueror's Haki yet, and it would be too dangerous for him to participate in such an operation. Dragon doesn't want Sith to put himself in danger.

Although he was utterly disillusioned with the Navy, he still hoped to protect these seeds of justice within it.

Sith raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, letting out a satisfying exhale and laughing:

"Drag, you're talking about the Knights of God and the Five Elders, right? I know about them."

Dorag was shocked, clearly not expecting that the Sith would even have access to such intelligence.

Could this guy be someone from another world who knows everything?!

Sith poured himself another glass and said nonchalantly:

"Humans die when they are killed, and so do gods."

"It's just Conqueror's Haki, don't worry, I'll definitely master it before doing that!"

As a despicable outsider, Sith was very depressed for a long time after arriving in this world.

He was afraid of the dragon, afraid of Im, afraid of that mysterious apocalypse.

Until one day he realized that being afraid was useless. Whether he wanted to protect his companions or live freely, the only way was to stop eating beef and then destroy this filthy world!

From that day on, he felt as if a power was sprouting within him. Over the years, that power had been accumulating and ready to burst forth, almost breaking through the ground several times, but in the end, it just missed the right opportunity.

He knew that it was Conqueror's Haki!

Recently, he felt that force growing stronger and stronger, and it was just one opportunity away from causing a qualitative change.

Therefore, Sith was very confident that he would be able to master Conqueror's Haki when he took action against the Celestial Dragons!

That is also the only way to defeat the so-called "gods".

"So, Dragon."

Sith grinned at him, his snow-white teeth gleaming under the light.

"Don't underestimate me. I won't miss out on something as interesting as personally ending this wicked tradition and sending those scumbags to hell!"

Seeing the light in Sith's eyes, Dragon suddenly felt a sense of awe, just like when he was a child looking at his own father.

That's the absolute confidence of the strong!

"Hahaha!"

He burst into laughter and patted Sith hard on the back.

"I'm sorry, I underestimated you. I won't say things like that again!"

He raised his glass and clinked it heavily against Sith's.

"To end this tradition of evil!"

Dorrag grinned and said softly.

Sith winked at him:

"To end this tradition of evil!"

The two exchanged a smile and drank their wine in one gulp.

"Oh, it's you two here! Come dance with us!"

Ginny spotted them and rushed over laughing. Sith and Dragon then realized that everyone had started dancing sometime earlier.

The banquet lasted all night amidst laughter throughout Frostmoon Village.

The next morning.

Sith stood on the beach, ready to board the ship and leave.

He planned to go directly to Marineford to participate in what the old man called "real spiritual practice."

Sith was more than happy to do so. He estimated that he would soon be dealing with Doflamingo, and he had to prepare some generous gifts to properly entertain that super-powerful child.

Dragon and the others dared not linger and left under the cover of night, leaving only Koushirou and Kuina to see them off.

Koushirou handed a knife to Sith, smiling sheepishly:

"Mr. Bucky, I originally intended to forge a knife for you myself, but time was too short, so I'll have to use this one for now."

"But I'll definitely prepare it for you next time you come!"

Buggy not only resolved Kuina's inner conflict but also indirectly saved her, filling Koushirou with boundless gratitude.

Although the knife in his hand was not as good as those he and his father had forged by hand, it was still a fine knife worth several million Berries.

Sith laughed:

"Mr. Koushirou, I didn't do anything, you don't need to be so polite."

He had barely finished speaking when Guina, who was standing beside him, suddenly said:

"Mr. Bucky, please accept this!"

She quickly unfastened her sword, held it in her hands, and handed it to him.

"Guina, you..."

Koushirou never expected that his daughter would give away the "Wado Ichimonji".

This sword is one of the twenty-one Great Swords. It was forged by his father, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, and given to Kuina a long time ago. Kuina cherishes this sword very much.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to give it to Sith, but a sword is like the closest companion to a swordsman, and this sword was something Kuina cherished as her life. He couldn't very well take away what his daughter loved.

Before he could even speak, Guina offered to give him away.

Sith was also taken aback. Before he could speak, Guina stepped forward, her small face showing determination.

"Mr. Buggy, you're a swordsman. How can a swordsman be without a famous sword?"

"I believe you will absolutely not let Wado Ichimonji down!"

Seeing her resolute expression, Sith didn't refuse, taking the snow-white knife in one swift motion and chuckling softly:

"Since Kuina has said so, I'll keep it for you for now."

"When you come to my side in the future, I'll return this knife to you!"

Kuina's heart skipped a beat, and she began to doubt whether she had misheard.

Does this mean she'll have the opportunity to go to sea on Pakistan's ship in the future?

"Um!"

The girl nodded emphatically, maintaining her reserved demeanor, but the corners of her mouth were practically turned up in a wide smile.

Koushirou, standing to the side, smiled meaningfully and said:

"Then you'd better get stronger quickly, Kuina, or you won't be able to keep up with Mr. Buggy!"

He essentially acquiesced to his daughter's idea.

Koushirou had long seen that Kuina yearned for the sea, and he knew that he could not stop a swordsman from pursuing freedom.

Anyway, my daughter will have to go to sea sooner or later, so it would be best if she could go with someone she can trust.

Sith gripped the Wado Ichimonji in his left hand, raised another sword in his right, and said to Koushirou:

"Mr. Koushirou, this sword is a token of your kindness, and I would be impolite to refuse it, so I will accept it as well."

He realized the knife was worth millions of Berries, and he couldn't let it go to waste.

Koushirou was deeply moved and quickly nodded:

"That would be my honor!"

He secretly admired Mr. Bucky for not only being powerful but also having a meticulous mind. He must have accepted the other ordinary knife because he was afraid of embarrassing him.

At this moment, Kuina suddenly said expectantly:

"Mr. Buggy, could you please demonstrate your swordsmanship using the Wado Ichimonji?"

Like her father, she was a sword fanatic. Whenever she saw a skilled swordsman, she couldn't help but want to watch and admire him. Before, when Buggy was so good with a bamboo sword, Kuina really wanted to see what kind of effect he could achieve with this famous sword.

Koushirou gently rebuked:

"Kuina, how could you make such a rude request?"

That's what he said, but his eyes were also full of expectation.

He had heard from Kuina that Buggy was a novice in swordsmanship but possessed the strength of a sword master. Koushirou had never seen such a person before and naturally wanted to see for himself.

Seeing the expectant expressions on the father and daughter's faces, Sith could only smile and say:

"Actually, I am not good at swordsmanship, but since I have accepted this generous gift from my friend, I have no choice but to make a fool of myself."

He gripped the hilt of his sword and shifted slightly. Koushirou couldn't help but wonder, no matter how you looked at it, Buggy had never practiced kendo.

But the next second—

hum!

The gleaming blade was drawn from its sheath, sounding like a dragon's roar.

Sith swung the Wado Ichimonji and slashed towards the sea.

boom!

A broad sword aura swept across the sea, flying dozens of meters away, as if a pair of invisible giant hands were tearing the sea apart to the left and right, forming a trench several meters deep.

Kuina and Koushirou's jaws slammed to the ground.

Flying slash – definitely a swordsman's skill!

When Koushirou was a child, he heard his father talk about the deeds of many legendary swordsmen in Wano Country, but he had never heard of a guy like Buggy who had the strength of a swordsman even though he had only just started learning swordsmanship!

When the father and daughter came to their senses, they found that Bucky had already set sail sometime earlier.

"Mr. Bucky, I'll come find you!"

Guina waved and shouted at the sailboat until the white sail disappeared from sight.
