One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Chapter 76 Public Execution

After Ymir escaped from the philanthropist, the Sith and the Fire Mountain immediately began their pursuit and finally caught up with him here.

Just as Ymir was about to cause even greater destruction, Sith decisively unleashed Black Flash, interrupting Ymir's attack rhythm, and Kizaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The kid has finally arrived."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Kizaru did not want to use the more powerful Yasakani no Magatama, because while he was confident he could kill Ymir, the damage would certainly be quite severe.

At least there's no way Epper Saint can be saved.

At this moment, Sith arrived and almost knocked Ymir down with a single blow, giving Kizaru renewed hope.

With this kid around, he might be able to bring the situation under control!

"Siss, I'll hold him off from above. You look for an opportunity to attack, but be careful not to hurt the Celestial Dragons."

"Fire Mountain, evacuate everyone else as quickly as possible, especially the nobles!"

Kizaru shouted the order, not caring that Ymir would hear it. After all, at this point in the fight, both sides knew what the other wanted to do.

Ymir, having recovered from the attack, glared at the Sith and shouted at him.

"I saw you investigating that slave trader just now, and I thought you were going to rescue us. Turns out you're just another lackey of the nobles!"

Sith seemed to completely ignore his rant, shaking his head and chuckling, "Big guy, you seem to have misunderstood my position."

"As a Marine, I naturally have a duty to investigate slave traders, but I also have an even greater duty to eliminate you guys who are enemies of the World Government."

He turned his neck, his face full of eagerness.

"Enough with the nonsense, come on, we haven't beaten up any giants yet!"

With a bang, he moved like a cannonball and shot towards Ymir.

Ymir grasped her free right hand, and a visible chill rapidly condensed in her palm, quickly transforming into a long, slender ice blade.

"Go to hell!"

A deafening roar erupted as the ice blade, powerful enough to cleave a warship in two, slashed fiercely toward Sith's head.

Seeing how desperately Sith was fighting, even Kizaru felt secretly ashamed.

This kid is truly someone that Sengoku, Zephyr, and Garp, those old men, all value highly!

Kizaru never expected that during a lull in the battle between Sith and Ymir, a somewhat tense expression would flash across the face of this Marine Rear Admiral.

There was no way around it; it was the first time Sith had fought against his own clone, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"It's quite a lively fight."

Outside a bar in a corner of the Sabaody Archipelago, a white-haired old man wearing glasses stood on the shore, observing the battle in the distance with great interest.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a light poke in his lower back.

"Ouch, be gentle, you really wore me out last night."

Rayleigh rubbed his lower back and complained, then turned around to face the smoke ring the other person was blowing.

"That's not enough? Who said they could live to be a hundred?"

A short-haired woman walked over, smoking a cigarette, and gave him a mocking glare.

Although she is no longer young, and has almost all of her beautiful black hair from back then, one can still vaguely glimpse her former unparalleled charm through the perfectly proportioned features on her face.

If someone who knew her were standing here right now, they would surely exclaim in surprise, "This is Xia Qi, the woman who ushered in the era of great oppression!"

Back then, Shakky was the Empress of the Amazon Kingdom, the captain of the Kuja Pirates, and the most beautiful woman in the world.

Even in a lawless place like Beehive Island, Shakky was like a saint, attracting the worship of all the pirates.

Her disappearance was also the catalyst for the God Valley Massacre. At the end of that battle, she was rescued by Rayleigh, and the two officially became a couple afterward. Even the mighty Pirate King Roger was moved by this.

However, that was decades ago. Now, Xia Qi is just the owner of a small, unpopular bar, living a leisurely and peaceful life with her man.

After being mercilessly mocked by Shakky, Rayleigh coughed awkwardly twice, scratched his head, and laughed, "Well, I just used Conqueror's Haki recently, so my stamina hasn't fully recovered yet."

He shouldn't have said anything, because Xia Qi couldn't help but punch him when he brought it up.

"Idiot, you're too old to do such risky things!"

She was referring to the story of Rayleigh pretending to be a drunkard and rescuing several girls from the Celestial Dragons.

Shakky was shopping with him when Rayleigh suddenly rushed up to him, forcing Shakky to help cover for him. Fortunately, Rayleigh knew his limits and didn't let the Navy go all out to capture him.

Rayleigh sighed softly, "There's nothing I can do; when something like this happens, I just want to step in."

During their years of seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago, the two witnessed countless instances of nobles oppressing the innocent. On many occasions, Rayleigh couldn't help but secretly punish those lawless individuals.

But that's all he and Xia Qi can do.

Their old era is long gone, and now Rayleigh just wants to run Shakky's bar and live a peaceful life.

And, waiting for that guy to fulfill his promise.

Hey, stop spacing out.

Xia Qi patted his head lightly and said with some concern, "I'm just worried that something might happen to you."

Rayleigh laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, with our strength, even if we're discovered, we can easily escape!"

Shakky looked worried upon hearing this: "Rayleigh, don't be careless. You said there was a very powerful guy who helped us create chaos and escape smoothly."

"Although they helped us, their identity and purpose are still unclear."

Rayleigh nodded thoughtfully: "You're right. Even though we were far apart, I could still sense the powerful aura emanating from the other party."

O

"And I have a feeling he might come to the bar to find me!"

Xia Qi was taken aback.

Rayleigh's Observation Haki had been honed to its peak, allowing him to not only predict the short-term future but also occasionally glimpse events a long time in the future.

"Since you put it that way, it seems I'll have to go and prepare more wine."

Shakky went back to the bar. Rayleigh, however, remained focused on the battle in the distance.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that guy, I wouldn't be so pathetic!"

Rayleigh muttered a curse under his breath.

After Ymir and the Navy began their battle, Shakky's intelligence network quickly received the news.

Rayleigh couldn't wait to rush to the giant's side and help him fight the Marines!

Unfortunately, the time had not yet come, so he could only continue to live in seclusion in Chambord and wait patiently.

"But after this incident, those guys should be able to behave a little better."

Rayleigh smiled as he watched the giant grow stronger with each battle.

the other side.

Kizaru and Sith's attacks rained down on Ymir like a storm. Under the terrifying damage, Ymir finally had many wounds on her body. It seemed that her stamina was also greatly exhausted, and she was probably at her last gasp.

However, Kizaru in the air was not relieved at all; on the contrary, he became extremely anxious.

Because he saw Ymir striding towards a place called the execution platform in Sabaody Archipelago used to deal with pirates.

"This guy, is he planning to publicly execute a Celestial Dragon?"

As Kizaru thought this, his suit was already soaked with sweat.
