The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

Page 212

Two huge rocks were smashed, and the old man from the Mediterranean Sea emerged from the dust, panting heavily.

"If that's all you've got, then don't blame me!" The Mediterranean old man sneered, throwing a punch at him.

With a calm smile, he jumped back and swung his sword again.

hum-

boom!

An even stronger gravity than before appeared, instantly freezing the elderly man from the Mediterranean in place.

Swah——

Just then, Yixiao's slash arrived right in front of him.

"Damn it... what a troublesome Devil Fruit ability!" Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, the Mediterranean old man hurriedly raised his arms.

"when--"

The strike landed on the old man's arms, sparking as it rubbed against his skin, and propelled him backward for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Clang! Clang clang clang..."

boom--

Rayleigh and the blond old man's fast attack was not over yet.

The two unleashed terrifying attacks continuously, with the sounds of metal clashing and energy colliding ringing out from time to time.

Hancock, watching from behind, broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to herself.

"If someone with that kind of strength were really sent up there, how long could I hold out?"

The answer is not hard to come up with: after a quick attack, he would probably be out of the fight due to multiple injuries.

By this time, only half an hour had passed in the battle on the five islands.

The Moby Dick is not far from its target island.

"The fight looks pretty intense!" Whitebeard stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the distant island.

The terrifying shockwaves generated by the battle have completely disrupted the weather around the island.

This terrifying fluctuation appeared continuously, like a shockwave.

"Dad, it looks like the Marines are getting closer!" Diamond Jozu shouted from above.

"Let them come. I guess they just want an excuse to go check on how the battle is going." Whitebeard waved his hand dismissively, his gaze still fixed on the front.

Far away from the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy's warships trailed far behind.

On the ship, Kuzan and Kizaru were also discussing it.

Kizaru pouted and said, "Kuzan, that Norton kid is really scary! He's so young, yet he's already launched an attack on the World Government. It's unbelievable."

Kuzan exhaled a cold breath and said, "Don't let that kid's young age fool you; he's actually a man with both strength and brains. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see through Blackbeard's plot and then devise a scheme to trap him in Impel Down."

"So, you want Norton to win?" Kizaru looked at Kuzan without any surprise.

“Of course.” Kuzan said expressionlessly, “I’m fed up with the World Government’s fake justice, fed up with their inaction, and fed up with their arrogant and ugly faces.”

"Oh dear... Even you say that, it's really scary!" Kizaru put on a frightened expression, raised his hands and took a step back.

"Borsalino, don't tell me you don't really think that way." Kuzan looked at Kizaru as if he could see through everything.

Kizaru was taken aback by what he heard, then smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

What is Kizaru's sense of justice?

Ambiguous, it's none of my business.

What about Kizaru's personality?

Lax and indifferent.

People with this kind of personality are actually unpopular in both the Navy and the World Government.

However, within the Freedom League, Kizaru's personality is quite popular.

Even within the Kingdom of Oicot, there is a group of Kizaru fans!

Where did this wave of fans come from?

Of course, Norton deliberately cultivated him!

Inside the Kingdom of Oicot, he created a special short video series for Kizaru, where he shared Kizaru's character with everyone.

He is easygoing and calm in the face of adversity; even when facing pirates, he would not kill them on sight.

Kizaru is very friendly towards ordinary people and can chat with anyone.

Kizaru himself was completely unaware of this information at first.

It wasn't until the last two years, when the deliverymen who brought goods to Kizaru and his crew started looking at him with admiration, that he heard about this incident.

"It's really a troublesome choice... If I had to be honest... I'm still really looking forward to the Freedom League." After pondering for a while, Kizaru finally gave this answer.

"I hope they can win!" Kuzan nodded and said, "Judging from Whitebeard's destination, he should also be going to help the Freedom League."

"With him joining the battle, the Five Elders will probably be defeated even faster!" Kizaru's voice suddenly turned serious.

Kuzan squinted and said, "Speaking of which, the strength of the Five Elders seems to have been mythologized by some people! Those five old guys have been in those positions for many years. For as many years as the World Government has been peaceful, they haven't participated in any battles or training."

"If they win by suddenly rejoining the battlefield now, I'm not Aokiji!"

Uh... this guy...

Kizaru glanced at him speechlessly, thinking to himself, "When did this ice-cold face change? It's become... um... a little more human."

Kuzan's words seem to have come true.

Chapter 291 Norton vs. the bearded old man, Norton wins!

After an hour of fighting Norton, the long-bearded old man was suddenly punched away by Norton.

boom--

puff--

Amidst a gushing spray of blood, the long-bearded old man was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground with a loud thud, creating a huge crater.

"Cough cough..." The long-bearded old man propped himself up and frowned as he looked at Norton rushing towards him.

"As someone who deals with historical issues, I'm finding it a bit difficult to deal with such a young man! I never expected his Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki to be so ridiculously powerful. This is unbelievable!"

"Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he shouldn't be like this now..."

"Outrageous... Absolutely outrageous..."

boom--

Despite his internal monologue, the long-bearded old man unleashed another powerful burst of energy, frantically squeezing out his life force as he delivered a punch.

"Die!" With only ten meters to go before the long-bearded old man, Norton's half-body suddenly merged with his main body.

The enormous fist that was swung out crashed down like a meteor, carrying a terrifying pressure.

In the world of One Piece, age is probably the only thing that can affect one's power level.

The adage "youth has an advantage" applies to the world of One Piece. As long as you can withstand the peak of a veteran powerhouse, the next phase will be their decline.

Clearly, Norton's plan, which involved going all out from the start, was progressing very smoothly.

Faced with Norton's all-out attack, the long-bearded old man had no choice but to go all out as well.

At this rate, he simply cannot sustain a prolonged war.

Even if a group of haters jump out at this moment and say, "This is impossible, it's impossible for someone who's old to get tired so quickly."

This fact cannot be concealed!

As people get older, their skill level may not decline, but their duration of performance will definitely decrease.

For example, the frail and elderly Whitebeard could not last more than a few rounds before he was panting and unable to continue.

For example, the elderly Golden Lion was still kicked to death by Luffy, who didn't know Haki.

such as……

The Five Elders, who have lived for countless years, have truly been silent for far too long.

Despite their strength, they couldn't withstand the ravages of time.

It's not true that the longer you live, the longer you will last.

"Baka—"

Seeing Norton's massive fist coming down, the long-bearded old man's eyes widened in fury, and his right arm suddenly grew several times larger as he slammed his fist down.

boom--

The two fists collided, but were half a meter apart.

The clash of forces created a purplish-black energy ball that expanded and contracted between the two fists.

Sizzle...

The energy ball exploded suddenly after spinning for two seconds.

Boom—

The weather changed drastically in an instant, and a hole was even punched through the clouds in the sky.

Click...

After brewing for two seconds, the purplish-black lightning flashed out.

The scene looked exactly like the end of the world.

boom--

On the ground, Norton and the long-bearded old man unleashed their second burst of power.
