Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 159 Cadres VS Cadres

It was evening.

A bonfire was lit on the coast.

Seemingly in a fit of pique, the Red-Haired Pirates and the 11th Squadron, having no ships to stay on, set up camps on the shore.

Barto drew a line between the two camps with a stick.

"Hehehe, the area east of the line is our territory, and the area west is yours. Hey, don't you dare cross the line!"

"Men, bring out your best tobacco, alcohol, and food, and show those poor pirates over there what good stuff looks like!"

"I thought the executives of the Four Emperors' crews would all be eight meters tall, as burly as giants. This one looks pretty ordinary, like some kind of trash. My expectations were dashed."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you guys were trash."

When it comes to being foul-mouthed, few can rival Barto and his buddies; they could almost bring the dead back to life.

Poor, pathetic, and worthless.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates had dark complexions and their foreheads were covered in bulging veins.

Are these bastards really from the Navy?

"Who's going to teach him a lesson?"

"I don't want to."

The cadres were shoving each other; it was too shameful to fight with that kind of guy, it would be better to let the underlings do it.

The cadres exchanged a glance, and the subordinates immediately understood, crowding to the edge of the dividing line, cursing angrily.

"Damn it, do you guys want to fight?"

"Come on then, who's afraid of who!"

Barto rolled up his sleeves, showing no sign of backing down.

Aside from the black-haired boss, he has never been afraid of anyone else in his life.

Soon, a duel circle was drawn at the dividing line, and Barto was the first to jump in, arrogantly putting his hands on his hips.

Inside the naval camp.

Lu Yun hurriedly reported, "Senior, Barto and the Red-Haired Pirates are fighting!"

"Well, let them play."

Loya waved his hand. He could sense the commotion outside. It was just kids fighting; there was nothing to worry about.

"It's done."

Loya picked up her chopsticks and stuffed a freshly fried fish fillet into Yamato's mouth; this girl loved eating fish the most.

"tasty!"

Yamato cupped his cheeks in his hands, his face beaming with happiness.

After they had almost finished eating, Yamato picked up her spiked club with renewed energy. She also enjoyed fighting, especially with strong opponents.

"Loya, can I go fight?!"

"sure."

Loya smiled. He had already instructed Barto that provocation and fighting were allowed, but they had to follow the rules and fight in a circle, so that the two sides would not escalate into a full-scale war.

Ha, you're going to use Conqueror's Haki on him, aren't you?

This is a world where force reigns supreme.

Dignity is earned through fighting!

Only by swallowing your anger will you be looked down upon!

"Wait, I'll go too."

Loya stood up and, together with his adjutant and Yamato, went outside the camp, where they immediately saw the bustling dueling ring.

The subordinates of both sides surrounded the duel circle in layers, making it impenetrable, and kept cheering for their own side.

Overall, the atmosphere was quite good.

"Oh! Major Barto won!"

Soon, cheers erupted from the navy.

The Red-Haired Pirates were indignant.

"Using their abilities? That's despicable!"

"Hehehe, don't praise me like that!"

"Nobody's praising you!"

The pirates were furious, but there was nothing they could do. Their opponent was incredibly strong, like a tortoise shell.

"captain!"

"Boss, we need help!"

Left with no other choice, the pirates had to seek help from the officers.

"That guy's abilities are troublesome."

Shanks and his executives had already focused their attention on the duel. Barto's abilities were quite formidable, and even the executives were not confident of a sure win.

Sometimes, ability is just that unreasonable.

"I'll go."

Combatant Lyme Jones stood up. He was the most agile among the officers and could relatively easily find the opponent's weaknesses.

"Bang!"

Rem Jones strode through the air, soaring over the crowd and quickly arriving at the dueling circle. His elegant figure even made the Marines stare wide-eyed.

It's Tsukihime!

"Hehehe, has the cadre made his appearance yet!"

Barto grinned, his middle finger resting on his index finger, an invisible barrier protecting him, making him feel incredibly secure.

"My defense is invincible; no matter who comes, it won't work."

"You'll only know if you try."

Lyme Jones picked up the long stick, and arcs of electricity constantly appeared on its blade. As long as it touched an enemy, it could paralyze them.

"Whoosh!"

Lyme Jones vanished from his spot in an instant.

"Huh? It disappeared?"

Barto's vision blurred, and before he could react, the stun baton struck the barrier, sending a surge of electricity through it.

"Even electric shocks can't penetrate it."

Lym Jones was somewhat surprised, but this attack was just a probe, and he had obtained the information he wanted.

Although his attack failed to penetrate the opponent's defense, the dissipating arcs of electricity tested the range of his ability's defenses.

"A spark!"

Lyme Jones transformed into a streak of light, moving like lightning through the air, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Barto.

"Clatter".

A white-gloved hand rested on Barto's shoulder.

It was only at this moment that Barto realized what was happening.

too fast!

If he had known, he should have wrapped himself up in a barrier.

"Sizzle!"

Sparks flew, and Barto collapsed, convulsing.

Outside the circle, Loya shook his head, not surprised at all.

Barto's physical abilities are too poor. Once his abilities are discovered by his enemies, they can easily find a way to counter them, just like his speed.

Barrier deformation requires time and reaction force.

Moreover, the barrier has a limited range, so if you wrap yourself up for defense, it's difficult to use it to attack enemies.

You can't stay a tortoise forever.

"Brigadier General Tina is entering the arena!"

Tina entered the entertainment industry.

Having a rare opportunity to spar with the executives of the Four Emperors' crews, Tina and Smoker didn't want to miss it, and they also wanted to see how much they had grown.

"It's a woman."

Lyme Jones frowned, but said nothing, standing still and waiting for Tina to make her move.

"Watch out, Tina won't hold back."

Tina gave a soft shout, and the black barrier extended from her arms, enveloping the entire circle and quickly merging with Lyme Jones.

"Qiao Yushan!"

"Clang!"

Black Cliff missed its target.

"So fast! Tina couldn't even see it!"

Tina looked up at her opponent in the air, her gaze serious.

She knew the other person was extremely fast, but only when she faced them in person could she feel the indescribable pressure.

Even using Observation Haki to catch up, she still couldn't keep up with the other person's speed.

Tina raised her hand.

"Black Gun Formation!"

Dozens of black spears were aimed at Lyme Jones in mid-air.

"A very good ability. If it were Lachiru or the others, they might find it troublesome, but unfortunately you've run into me."

Lyme Jones used Moonwalk to easily dodge the black gun while rushing towards Tina, arriving in front of her in the blink of an eye.

The stun gun remained at Tina's neck.

"Tina lost."

Tina readily lowered her arms.

The gap between them is too large.

The consecutive defeats of the two captains dampened the morale of the Marines and made them realize the strength of the Four Emperors' crews.

"Hahaha, let me do it!"

Yamato leaped into the circle, his wolf-like gaze fixed on Lyme Jones, his whole body throbbing with restlessness.

Just one glance was enough to send chills down Lyme Jones's spine.

What happened?!

This girl's aura is terrifyingly strong!
