I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

“Your wanted posters are everywhere, how could I not find you?” Figo shook his head: “How did you stir up such a hornet’s nest? That number one swordsman of the Eastern Universe Sea is not an easy character to deal with. It is said that he has already ignited the flames of both physique and swordsmanship.”

As he spoke, he handcuffed each member of Roger's pirate crew, as if greeting them. Hmm, they've all improved quite a bit, the weakest being SSR1.

Even the newly joined ones cannot escape it.

"Old man, your hobbies haven't changed at all," Roger remarked, then asked seriously, "Have you ever heard of a life form called a sword spirit?"

"Something similar to a ship spirit?"

“I thought so at first too, but then I found out it wasn’t.” Roger said, seeing Figo handcuff the wrists of Ana, he quickly added, “Grandpa, Dr. Ana isn’t a member of our pirate crew… cough, not our adventure team. She’s a doctor we met on this planet, and we’re so grateful to her…”

"Don't worry, it won't scare her." Figo shook his head and asked Ana, "Hey girl, how old are you? Is it okay if I call you 'girl'?"

Roger and the others were speechless. You can call her your great-granddaughter without any problem, old man.

“She’s about 93 years old,” Ana smiled.

"You're joining in the fun too!" Roger and the others couldn't help but laugh. With Figo's arrival, the atmosphere did indeed lighten. All that remained was... to avenge their five fallen comrades!

“That’s alright, I’m level 106.” Figo didn’t unlock the chains, and asked Roger, “Continue with your story, what’s going on with the sword spirit?”

Roger's smile faded: "Ah, after arriving on this planet, we heard a rumor. The best swordsmith on this planet can forge swords with a certain chance of developing a sword spirit. This allows the sword spirit, possessing special abilities, to work with the swordsman, greatly enhancing the swordsman's combat capabilities."

As we prepare to enter the Central Universe, we naturally want to improve ourselves as much as possible and seek his help to forge one or two swords with sword spirits.

But... something's wrong with those sword spirit blades.

His voice grew heavy: "After seeing one with my own eyes, I heard a mournful wail coming from within the blade. After further investigation, I discovered the secret of forging the Sword Spirit Blade: they were forging blades using living people! And not just ordinary people, but demon children they were secretly training, using awakened demon children to forge blades!"

Figo narrowed his eyes. Wasn't this the same as feeding a weapon a Devil Fruit?

But it was a bit more cruel, and the effect seemed to be stronger as well.

“Sigh, a holy land of swordsmanship…” He turned to Ana and asked, “What do you think?”

Hey, grandpa, you're here again...

“The demons deserve to die, but Sword God Mountain’s actions are a recipe for disaster.” Ana shook her wrist: “Let go of me.”

"!" At this point, Roger and the others would be fools if they still couldn't see some clues. They looked at Figo in astonishment, then at Ana.

"Dr. Ana, you..."

"What should I call you?" Figo asked.

“Demon Hunter, Pengli Ana.”

Figo loosened his handcuffs.

It's even stronger than expected!

Chapter 149 Small Place

I initially thought I had accidentally dragged an innocent female doctor into this, and I was feeling guilty. But it turns out the female doctor was the real big shot.

The clown was me.

Roger stared wide-eyed at Ana.

Aba aba?

Having roamed the stars for 16 years, he had naturally heard of the profession of Demon Hunter. They were people who specialized in hunting down powerful demons. They came from all races and there was no unified leader. Some hunted for bounties, while others hunted for personal grudges.

Similar to the pirate hunters of Qinghai.

“You’re not the only ones who have discovered the secrets of the sword spirit; some people are even more cautious than you,” Ana explained. “This matter is no longer a secret to some people, and even the demon race has probably heard about it. I’m here waiting for the demon race to come and rescue their kin.”

"My original plan was to use you to have the people from Sword God Mountain capture me, making it easier to set up an ambush."

“So before…” Sambel recalled the two swordsmen he had inexplicably defeated before.

"No, anyway, thank you for saving Rayleigh!" Roger said solemnly.

Ana said expressionlessly, "I'm not apologizing for hiding my identity. On the contrary, you ruined my plans. You should apologize."

"Uh, I'm sorry!"

Roger gave a dry laugh, his expression suddenly turning cold.

Ana then turned to Figo and said, "Don't interfere with my plans. The demons that Sword Saint Demis has attracted will be very strong. Without Demis as a natural ally, I may not be able to keep him here."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like I could do anything to that Sword Saint. I'm just a newcomer who just came from my hometown planet, a small place, to venture into the starry sea. He's one of the most famous and powerful figures in the Eastern Universe Sea..." Figo shook his head.

Ana remained silent.

Small place? A small place is one thing, but you too? Even Jianfan Star, one of the strongest planets in the Eastern Universe Sea, might not be as good as the 'small place' you're talking about. Do you think only Tianlong Star is a big place?

Figo then asked Roger, "Which of the three great sword saints is hunting you down?"

"Apart from that strongest swordsman, the other two are both here," Roger replied. In a one-on-one battle, a prolonged fight might not be as good as his, and he certainly couldn't be held back.

“Go seduce one,” Figo said.

Roger and the others immediately smiled. The old man had arrived; it was time to fight back!

He exchanged glances with Jabba and the others, then went outside to openly buy food and medical supplies. They were indeed out of star coins, but they still had some Jianfanxing currency, which was universally accepted in a world with starports.

Ana coldly replied, "Aren't you from a small town? Why would you so casually invite a renowned swordsman from the Star Sea to kill you?"

“We may be weak, but we can’t just let others bully us, can we? Even ants know how to fight back,” Figo explained.

Ana chuckled and decided to ignore him.

The others chuckled at first, but their expressions quickly turned serious. Yes, they couldn't let themselves be bullied for no reason!

Figo got up again to check on Rayleigh's injuries and quickly realized that he had failed to activate his powers at the crucial moment, failing to ignite the lamp and instead damaging his own physique.

The Starry Sky Six Techniques of the Physical King, False Fire, is not only a combat technique but also a training method. It involves putting pressure on one's own cells to enhance physical strength, which will shorten lifespan but greatly helps to improve physical fitness.

The Star Sea Realm experts are highly talented. Even without mastering the illusory fire, those with the best talent, like Garp, can raise their physique to the level of 300,000 to 400,000.

Having mastered the illusory fire, it wouldn't be difficult to increase one's strength by another two or three hundred thousand over the next ten years to meet the ignition requirements. Therefore, now, besides Figo, there are two more Star Sea powerhouses who can ignite the flame with their physical strength.

Karp ignited it spontaneously and steadily.

Roger was a bit of a gambler because six or seven years ago he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and would die if he didn't get his body heated up!

Clearly, he won his gamble.

Facing the formidable Sword Saint, Rayleigh's risky act of igniting the fire was clearly a losing gamble, which is why he ended up in such a miserable state.

In this way, Rayleigh would have to spend another ten years or so trying to ignite his physical energies, or he would have to find a different method or a different direction for ignition.

"What a pity, the losses were heavy."

Figo turned and left.

There was also a swordsmanship dojo in this town, and it had obviously received the message from Sword God Mountain. As soon as Roger and the others showed up without any concealment, the news was immediately passed up the chain of command. A guy with decent strength had already appeared in Figo's Observation Haki!

Sambell and the others immediately understood the situation upon seeing it. Half of them followed Figo, while the other half stayed behind to take care of Rayleigh and the other wounded. Ana remained silent for two seconds before following the others out.

“No need for help,” Figo said.

“I didn’t mean to help you,” Ana replied.

As the group reached the town entrance, Roger Jabba and the others caught up, carrying large and small bags. Roger handed the items to the others and said, "It's the Eight-Armed Sword Saint, Guan Suo. Old man, shall we all go together?"

“I’ll give it a try first,” Figo said.

“Okay,” Roger replied in a deep voice.

In the distance, a series of swordsmen in flowing white robes flew swiftly from afar. The leader had eight arms growing conspicuously from his sides, eight swords hanging at his waist, and a face like that of a demon!

This is not a Devil Fruit ability, but a special race in the Sword Star whose numbers are second only to humans—the Multi-Armed Race! This race includes people with four, six, and eight arms, and they are extremely gifted in mastering multi-sword style swordsmanship. The Eight-Armed Sword Saint Guan Suo is a representative figure among them!

Upon seeing Figo, whom he had never seen before, from afar, the Eight-Armed Sword Saint narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of sword light passing through his gaze.

Figo raised his hand and crushed the invisible sword beam that was flying towards him with a snap, then flew straight up.

Swordsmanship ignites a flame, which is a kind of flame ignited by willpower. Everything can be a sword, and one can strike with a breath, and the power of the strike will increase dramatically!

With a small probe, the Eight-Armed Sword Saint discerned that Figo was also a king whose physique could ignite the flame. His eyes darkened, and he pushed two of his arms back, signaling his disciples to stop, while the other six hands gripped the sword hilts!

Who are you?!

“I’m from a small place, I’m not famous, you wouldn’t know even if I told you,” Figo replied.

"You're going to help those space pirates who stole the Sword Spirit Sword?!" Guan Suo demanded.

"Framing and framing is unacceptable."

"Humph!"

As they talked, the distance between them closed rapidly, and Guan Suo drew his six swords!

At the same time, he became sharp and imposing, as if his whole being had transformed into a towering sword, stirring up the white clouds in the sky even in the midst of gathering his power.

Figo's right leg trembled slightly, and golden flames enveloped his leg, their color like the most brilliant moment of the morning glow in the sky, and also like flowing imperial fire!

"Six-Sword Style - Yama's Path!"

The six sword beams crossed and amplified, and the destructive power brought by the ignited lamps made the residual wind from the Eight-Armed Sword Saint's sword swing tear through the sky! Clearly, facing an unfamiliar physical king, the Eight-Armed Sword Saint held almost no mercy, and his strike, capable of easily shattering mountains, collided with Figo's right leg kick!

But this did not sever Figo's leg.

Even the suppressive force of the lit lamp couldn't penetrate Figo's Armament Haki!

Instead, an unprecedented force struck, and the Eight-Armed Sword Saint's pupils contracted rapidly!

boom--

With a deafening roar, a powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing the ground a hundred meters below to churn and forcing everyone in the Roger Pirates except Roger to retreat!

Roger shielded his forehead with one hand and gripped the hilt of his sword with the other, ready to help Figo take down the Eight-Armed Sword Saint!
