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

"Little brother, I'm leaving."

"Who are you calling 'little brother'? I've never acknowledged you as my elder brother."

"It's time to leave this island. Very few pirates come here anymore. Big pirates don't bother to come, and small pirates don't dare to come."

"Yeah, it's all because your reputation spread too fast."

"Let's go buy some supplies; we'll be at sea for a while now."

Kazan walked towards the shore with his black sword in hand. The pirate ship should still be usable, but he didn't know how to pilot it, and Bon Clay didn't seem to know how either. He'd just let the pirate ship drift; it would eventually reach its destination.

And this knife.

Kazan looked at the gleaming black Darkmoon in his hand. It was so frustrating not having a scabbard. He couldn't carry it on his shoulder, nor could he hold it in his arms like Law did, and it was so long.

Alas, life has been full of twists and turns.

……

"Hello, hello."

"Call me Big Brother."

"...No, there's a pirate ship approaching over there."

"Come over here, we can hitch a ride."

"That's a great pirate! Are you sure it's okay?"

How big?

"Forty-six million."

"That's pretty big... Perfect, let's try out this new skill."

Kazan climbed off the ship and, after drifting at sea for two weeks, finally saw a living creature.

However, this time, I guess I'll have to use dual swords. I've never actually used dual swords in a real battle before, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

the other side.

The Gracka Pirates.

On the boat, a two-and-a-half-meter-tall, dark-skinned, red-haired man with bull horns sat there panting heavily, holding a large bowl and drinking, with a huge axe beside him.

The captain of the "Gracá Pirates," known as "Minota," is Sauta, whose bounty is 46 million.

"Captain, we've spotted a pirate ship on the left. It's the 'Warrior Pirates,' whose bounty is 12 million."

"Moo moo moo, come closer, let him take it all."

"Yes! All Tauren, prepare for battle!"

The two pirate ships tacitly refrained from firing at each other in a show of force. Kazan simply waited quietly for the other ship to approach, since he himself couldn't sail.

Feng Kelei looked at the men on the opposite ship, their arms baring their teeth and claws, with a serious and nervous expression, feeling somewhat flustered.

"Hoo hoo, a ship full of minotaurs... very good."

"Kazan, is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, just focus on dealing with that first mate. It's only ten million. Use it to train yourself."

"Those henchmen?"

"I am useful."

Kazan tightened his grip on the knife, raised his left hand, and grinned.

This distance is about right.

Kazan glanced at a 3.5-meter-tall giant on the opposite ship who had transformed into a pure minotaur, and jumped over to it.

Bon Clay was startled!

Hurry up and catch up.

"Huh? Two little ones..."

The minotaur closest to the ship stared blankly at the two eerie little devils jumping over.

Before he could finish speaking, he was pierced through by Kazan's sword.

Click.

Kazan landed on the ship with a light touch, glanced at the red-haired bull's head not far ahead, and seemed slightly lost in thought.

It feels like I'm farming in Gracka. By the way, the lord of Gracka is called Sauta, I think. I just defeated him two years ago. He's a very generous Minotaur king.

Without much talk, the Graca Pirates crew charged straight towards Kazan.

[Blood Frenzy: Periodically reduces health to increase hit rate and stun resistance. Some skills also increase attack power, and normal attacks are transformed into dual-wielding attacks.]

[Berserk: Enters a berserk state, increasing strength, movement speed, attack speed, and resistance to abnormal statuses for a certain duration; however, it significantly reduces intelligence and defense.]

The crew of the Graca Pirates only saw the kid opposite them mutter a couple of words and then suddenly burst into a sinister laugh.

The bloodshot in his eyes surged like flames.

A crack suddenly appeared in the blood-red, ferocious left palm, and blood gushed out, instantly condensing into a blood-red katana as long as the black blade.

"Is he also a Devil Fruit user? There's a strong smell of blood."

Sauta frowned as he looked at Kazan. He didn't intend to make the first move; he wanted to let his men test the guy's strength first.

However, this was exactly what Kazan wanted.

Bon Clay, who had just landed, was somewhat stunned by Kazan's appearance.

Suddenly, a henchman jumped out from the side and swung his axe at Kazan.

Kazan didn't even glance at him; a layer of silvery white appeared on his forehead as the axe fell.

The ghostly hand reached directly for the other person's head. After being at sea for more than half a year, Kazan had grown a bit taller, reaching 1.6 meters, and could barely reach the man's head in front of him.

[Soul-Devouring Hand: Grabs an enemy in front and absorbs their blood essence, then releases the absorbed blood essence, dealing physical damage to the enemy and increasing the caster's strength. When cast on a bleeding enemy, it increases the physical damage dealt and extends the duration of the strength increase.]

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The henchmen grabbed Kazan's ghostly hand with both hands and screamed wildly.

Unfortunately, it was of little use.

In less than three seconds, it had turned into a dried-up corpse. Then, Kazan's ghostly hand unleashed the absorbed blood energy, spraying the dried-up corpse directly into the crowd, knocking down several people.

Kazan looked at his personal panel, and although his attribute level hadn't changed.

But he definitely felt that his strength had increased and his speed had increased.

People became even more excited.

Let's start with a small collapse to clear the area!

[Mountain Crash Strike: Leaps forward and slams the weapon into the ground. This attack has multiple hitboxes, with the final hit knocking the enemy down.]

Kazan leaped forward and slammed his black blade into the ship's floor.

Bang.

The impact shattered the floor, creating cracks that spread outwards. Within a three-meter radius of Kazan, all members of the Gracka Pirates were knocked to the ground, their bodies bearing small cuts from which crimson liquid oozed.

The Berserker's attacks are extremely effective at inflicting bleeding on enemies! Although the amount of blood lost is not large, the Berserker doesn't actually rely on this to deal damage; rather, it uses the blood energy to enhance its skills.

Kazan sniffed the fishy smell in the air, grinned, and flicked his ghostly hand.

【Enhanced - Kazan the Blade Soul: Summons a clone of Kazan the Blade Soul. While within the summoning area, this clone increases the caster's power. The denser the blood energy within the area during the summoning, the longer the duration and the wider the area.】

When this move was unleashed, everyone, including Kazan, was stunned. They stiffly raised their heads to look at the translucent, blood-red armored head that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

This move is actually a revealing one; isn't that a bit too high-profile?

"...A monster..."

"I'm not playing anymore!!"

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

……

The release of this inhuman power directly terrified some of the timid henchmen, causing them to lose their will to fight.

Some collapsed on the ground, some jumped into the sea, some knelt down... there were them all.

However, it wasn't that they didn't muster the courage to launch an attack on Kazan.

Kazan chooses to respect this kind of warrior.

[Ground Crack - Wave Slash]

A yellow sword aura flew forward, severing the warrior's body.

Kazan felt extremely pleased with his enhanced power, though he wasn't quite sure if this pleasure was due to the brain damage caused by his berserk state.

However, to Kazan's dismay, even with the triple buffs of Blade Soul, Berserk, and Soul Eater, his power level still hadn't broken through Lv.3.

Although he roughly guessed that Lv.4 should be considered the intermediate level, this requirement was a bit too much.

"Xiao Feng, don't just stand there, take care of that one over there, I'm not helping you."
