Big brother, I want to become the strongest pirate in the world!

Bellamy took a head from his henchman behind him, held it up and showed it to Diamanti: "The great pirate with a bounty of 980 million, Sora Koboro."

Diamanti first looked up, then paused when he heard what Bellamy said, his expression turning somewhat strange. He was about to speak, but after catching a glimpse of a line out of the corner of his eye, he only said a few words: "We Don Quixotes aren't that low-class."

Bellamy didn't quite understand and wanted to ask what had happened. They had risked their lives to kill the pirates through a sneak attack.

"Bellamy!"

Bellamy heard the suppressed shouts coming from behind him and turned around.

A flash of light swept right past his eyes.

"what!!!"

Bellamy collapsed to the ground, clutching his right eye and groaning. He had been slashed by his own henchman, and that eye was probably blinded.

Bellamy struggled to his feet and glared angrily at his underlings, but they were nowhere to be seen.

Just a dozen or so pieces of dismembered meat.

"Fufufufu, since when did a nobody with 980 million be considered a great pirate? You underestimate pirates too much."

The last thing Bellamy saw before he fainted was the man he admired sitting on the rooftop next to him, smiling at him, his right hand raised as if he were controlling something.

……

When Kazan and Monet arrived the next day, they were already sitting in an auction house.

"If there's anything you want, just go and grab it yourself when I make my move."

"OK!"

"Have you found the Don Quixote family?"

"There are only three people in this auction hall! Doflamingo and his slug-like subordinate Trebol are watching from the top room, another subordinate Diamante is hosting the auction, and that big guy has been assigned by Doflamingo to keep an eye on the Navy. I don't know if there are any others."

"That's it. Now we know all the high-end combat forces that the Donquixote Family can field."

During this period, the Don Quixote family should have only four teams, namely the four teams led by the four executives Torrepol, Diamanti, Pica, and Corazon.

One of the teams, led by Corazon, was responsible for overseeing the Don Quixote family's underground forces throughout the North Sea at all times. This team was the most stable and mysterious, often engaging in various clandestine activities, including Vergo, whose identity had not yet been exposed and who later infiltrated the Navy.

This team shouldn't be here right now. The Don Quixote family is too busy to call all their officers over for an auction, so we don't need to worry about Vergo's problem.

"Brother, leave Diamanti to me, I can hold him off."

"Don't underestimate him. Don't even think about hurting him. His clothes are made of steel. Also, you need to fly high enough. That guy's Devil Fruit ability is a bit troublesome, but he probably doesn't know Armament Haki yet. Just take the Devil Fruit and run away."

Based on memory and speculation, Diamante will probably have Armament Haki eighteen years later, but he won't be able to apply it to the Yang Yang Fruit's ability; so he probably hasn't even mastered Armament Haki yet, so he doesn't pose a threat to Monet.

"Brother, won't it be a bit troublesome for you to deal with two of them by yourself?"

"It's definitely going to be troublesome. Even if my swordsmanship improved to the point where I could unleash flying slashes a couple of days ago, I could probably only barely handle Doflamingo. But those pirate captains in the corner aren't pushovers either; they can hold Trebol off for a while."

"Okay, I understand. So when..."

Kazan watched as Diamanti on the field pulled out a fruit, and then suddenly spoke.

"Now!"

[Enhanced - Kazan, the Soul of the Blade]

Blood Rage

【Rampage】

[Bloodlust: During the skill's duration, the caster will significantly increase the effectiveness of Bloodlust-related skills when using them on enemies in a bleeding state. This skill greatly consumes the caster's own health, with the duration proportional to the amount of health consumed.]

(This skill has been slightly modified so that it will no longer suddenly burst into blood energy and cause damage to those around it, in order to avoid accidentally injuring teammates.)

A triple combo of group buffs and Berserker stats is presented.

Kazan ripped his cloak to the ground, immediately unleashing his dual swords, the crimson light in his eyes burning like flames.

"Monet, make your move."

Kazan said something and then unleashed two blood-red sword energies straight towards the top-of-the-line private room.

Lv.4 Intermediate Dual Wielding is enough for Kazan to unleash a flying slash with relatively weak power and short range!

Bang!

A large hole was slashed open in the top of the private room, and two figures jumped out one after the other, one landing in mid-air and the other on the ground.

"Ahhh!"

"I knew things wouldn't be peaceful!"

They started stealing!

"Follow."

The auction hall erupted into chaos. Ordinary people ran around like lambs, while the pirates took advantage of the confusion to burn, kill, and loot, doing their job.

"Fufufufu, Torrebol, go and get those bounty targets."

In Kazan's eyes, Doflamingo stood on a few thin lines in the air, looking down at him and smiling.

"Aren't you uncomfortable standing there?"

Chapter 020 Three Battlefields

"Fufufu, why would the strongest pirate hunter in the West Blue travel all the way to the North Blue? It can't be for my head, can it?"

"No, it's for your head."

The sound was accompanied by a burst of pale yellow sword energy!

Earth-Shattering Wave Slash.

In his dual-wielding form, Kazan is constantly burning with intense killing intent, so he has no time to chat with Doflamingo.

Besides, who knows how long those pirate leaders can hold off Trebol?

Anyway, Kazan didn't have high hopes of defeating Doflamingo this time. He just wanted to get the Devil Fruit and test Doflamingo's strength.

Empty lane.

Doflamingo withdrew his left hand and was carried to the side by the thin thread in the air, dodging the attack.

boom!

One of the walls in the auction hall was cleaved open by this move, leaving a large crack.

Doflamingo maintained his smile, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

String the lines.

Doflamingo flicked his right hand in mid-air, sending an elusive line of light shooting towards Kazan.

Kazan's eyes flashed with a hint of bloodlust as he dodged to the side, then leaped up and swiftly approached Doflamingo's semi-transparent netting in mid-air.

These thin lines are like branches in a forest, and for Kazan, who spends his years cultivating in the forest, it's like fighting in his own private arena.

"Hmm... Observation Haki, huh?"

Doflamingo smacked his lips as he watched Kazan easily dodge his 'sparkling lines' and rapidly approach, precisely stepping on the barely perceptible lines.

The West Blue is the strongest... that's no exaggeration. This kind of strength is quite impressive even in the Grand Line.

Doflamingo used the 'Air Passage' to constantly distance himself from the approaching Kazan, and soon the two moved the battlefield to the street outside.

At this moment, Doflamingo was troubled by the question, "Why is someone as strong as him staying in the North Blue?" which caused him to become somewhat distracted and made him slightly overwhelmed in dealing with Kazan's continuous flying slashes.

"Fufu, what stamina! It's like something out of a monster..."

Doflamingo, deciding to put that problem aside for the time being, looked at Kazan, who was still approaching with his twin swords, and smiled, offering a word of praise.

Being overwhelmed and beaten doesn't feel good...

Doflamingo suddenly stopped smiling, halted his retreat, and delivered a black kick imbued with Armament Haki towards the oncoming Kazan.

Cross Slash.

Kazan saw Doflamingo stop and approach, and his frustration at not being able to hit the enemy finally improved. He immediately met Doflamingo's attack with a cross slash.

At the same time, he also imbued the sword with Armament Haki and the power of the Steel Fruit.

Bang!

The clash between the twin swords and the stinky feet seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

The crimson cross-shaped sword aura was released towards Doflamingo only after the blade struck Doflamingo's black foot, albeit with a delay.

Doflamingo frowned and had no choice but to extend the hardened area of ​​Armament Haki from his feet to his entire right leg in order to block the damage from the blood-red sword aura.

His Armament Haki level is roughly at the peak of the beginner level, approaching the intermediate level, and his Armament Haki has begun to overflow.

They're two levels above me; without the Iron-Steel Fruit to strengthen them, I probably wouldn't be able to beat them.

Kazan stared at the black foot that his twin swords were blocking, and roughly judged Doflamingo's current level of Armament Haki.

However, if Doflamingo possesses this level of Armament Haki, then perhaps his subordinates have actually mastered Armament Haki.

Thinking of this, Kazan couldn't help but glance at Monet's location with some concern.

……

After Kazan attacked Doflamingo, virtually every pirate inside and outside the auction hall joined in.

Because many of them recognized Kazan's identity, word spread among the pirates, and all the pirates began to have designs on him.

The strongest in the West Sea versus the strongest in the North Sea, they should be able to hold out for a while.

Many people even think that they should wait until the two are both severely injured before killing them and making a name for themselves in one battle!

However, they were too naive. These two were old foxes, and even if they were seriously injured, they were not people that these ordinary guys could deal with.

Moreover, there was a tempting Devil Fruit at the venue. The Devil Fruits of the North Blue had always been too tightly controlled by the Donquixote Family. Now that there was a ready-made Devil Fruit, who wouldn't be envious?

The suppressed desires finally erupted.

Countless pirate minions swarmed toward Diamante, who was holding a Devil Fruit, while Monet watched quietly from the side, not in a hurry to make a move.

Meanwhile, the captains of several pirate crews who had joined forces also called on their subordinates to snatch the Devil Fruits, while they themselves stopped Trebol, a Donquixote Family executive who seemed to be coming to "support" them.

"Go ahead and fight, fight a little longer."
