The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Now that he's come this far and summoned a meteor, the Straw Hat Pirates' appearance can't be far off!

"The Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, the Straw Hat Pirates, plus that elusive and mysterious prop master on board..."

Aramaki scratched his head, feeling a little numb.

"No matter how you look at it, our chances of winning are slim, aren't they?!"

"I wonder what kind of confidence the World Government has. I hope those Celestial Dragons can show their true strength and resources as soon as possible!"

And just as Green Bull was having a headache, it seemed as if he heard the cry from his heart.

Then, the bald Five Elders, dressed in white kimonos and resembling Hideki Saijo, stood up with a serious expression as he pushed up his glasses.

"A petty scoundrel."

He spoke in a deep voice, then gripped the scabbard at his waist with one hand.

*Sizzle!*

A crimson hue spread across the entire sky, almost obscuring everyone's vision!

The legendary demon sword, the first generation Kitetsu, which was forged from the blood of countless people, once again displayed its eerie power at this moment!

Whoosh!

The incomparably sharp crimson blade light transformed into a world-shaking slash, hurtling swiftly towards the meteorite on the horizon amidst horrified gazes!

Hiss~! !

There was no collision or explosion; it was as soft as a knife blade slicing through paper.

That extremely sharp, blood-red blade of light easily pierced through the entire meteorite!

At the same time, the meteorite, which was originally falling rapidly, was abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Then~

boom! ! !

After a brief pause, it exploded with a deafening roar!

"With just one strike, the meteorite was easily sliced ​​apart?!"

Vista, the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, gazed at the scene unfolding on the horizon, his eyes gleaming with a brilliant light.

Although he could slice through a meteorite like this, to do it so effortlessly and with such immense power was truly astounding.

"They really are the Five Elders, the highest-ranking officials in the World Government, and also the strongest..."

Vista's mustache twitched, and his eyes were filled with the desire of a swordsman and a strong fighting spirit!

No swordsman could remain unmoved by such a sight.

Even if he is the world's greatest swordsman.

"It seems that I made the right choice in coming here."

A soft laugh drifted across the sea not far from the battlefield on the Red Earth.

A small wooden raft containing a coffin, with a dim, flickering candlelight burning on it, bobbed on the vast ocean.

Beneath the black top hat adorned with white fur were a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

The world's greatest swordsman, with his hands crossed and placed on his folded knees, gazed at the beautiful swordplay scenery in the sky and couldn't help but smile slightly.

The small boat beneath them seemed to sense its master's mood, and with the waves on the sea, it drifted towards the battlefield on the red earth continent.

This war will attract more and more people, and it will also bring more and more variables!

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Is the Straw Hat Pirates' blind swordsman, Ichiro?"

The elderly man in the white kimono tucked the first generation Kitetsu, which was gleaming with a blood-red light, back into his waistband and spoke calmly.

At the same time, his Observation Haki was once again released to the surrounding area.

"So, the Straw Hat Pirates are finally going to participate in this war, is that right?!"

The five elders who had not yet shown their strength sat up straight for the first time.

In their eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates are a greater threat than the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army!

1011 Even you're joining in this fun? Hawkeye! He couldn't understand that kind of excitement.

Meanwhile, within the clouds.

"Indeed, to be able to wield the highest power in the world, one's strength is beyond doubt."

A man in a purple robe sat gracefully on a floating rock.

Even though he was blind, he, being a swordsman himself, could still feel the terrifying power of the sword strike.

"Just as the first mate said, this war is not so easy to fight."

Yi Xiao, who was first transferred here by Link using the [Space Converter], nodded slightly.

"However, the first mate did say one more thing, which is..."

*Sizzle!*

He slowly drew his cane-sword, "It's just that it's not so easy to fight."

Whoosh! ! !

At the same time, an extremely sharp, blood-red slash pierced through the clouds and instantly appeared in front of him.

Dang! ! !

The staff-blade, imbued with high-level Armament Haki, easily intercepted the blood-red slash.

Then, with a smile, her whitish eyes gently moved downwards, revealing pairs of cold eyes fixed on her beneath the exposed clouds.

"I've found you..."

The bald Five Elders, dressed in kimonos, had a chilling glint in their eyes, while red light flickered continuously.

Their perception and observation skills naturally allowed them to easily find that smile hidden in the clouds.

"Oh dear, have we been found out?"

Yi Xiao wasn't too surprised by this. On such a battlefield, being discovered by enemies of this caliber was no easy task.

"However, I don't want to fight you right now..."

Yixiao lightly tapped the rock beneath him with the staff-sword in his hand, and then quickly retreated in the direction behind him!

"Where are you going?!"

The old man in the kimono narrowed his eyes, about to unleash the eerie slash of the first generation Kitetsu in his hand once more.

But it was at this very moment...

"Um?!!"

His body suddenly stopped, feeling an intense, needle-like aura surrounding him.

As a master swordsman, he naturally understood that this was the feeling of being locked onto by the aura of a top-tier swordsman!

"To possess such a level of sharpness..."

The five old men, bald and dressed in kimonos, moved their gaze slowly and expressionlessly, finally looking at a small wooden raft carrying a coffin that was cutting through the waves on the sea.

"Even you're joining in this fun, Hawkeye..."

The solemn voice echoed across the sea and resounded above the raft and small boat.

However, what responded to him was the soaring swordsmanship sharpness that only a top-tier swordsman possesses.

"Okay, I knew it would turn out like this..."

The bald, five-year-old pajamas-clad Five Elders stretched out his two withered fingers and pressed them against his temples. He seemed unsurprised by the gesture, but also slightly troubled.

"But you have to understand, every choice comes with a price, Hawkeye..."

When he lowered his finger, the bald-headed, kimono-clad Five Elders' eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.

"It's been so many years since I've made a move, let me see just how skilled this so-called strongest swordsman of our time really is!!!"

In an instant, a crimson blade of light appeared once more, hurtling swiftly towards the oncoming small boat!

Buzz~! ! !

At the same time, what responded to him from the sea was a dark green slash that spanned the heavens and the earth, almost piercing through the entire ocean!

It exudes a long-lost sense of joy and excitement, as if they have finally met their match.

Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, has been lonely for far too long and desperately longs to find an opponent worthy of his challenge!

Even if it's a very serious situation, a major event concerning the course of world and ocean history, he still has to get involved!

boom! ! !

Two earth-shattering, terrifying slashes collided in mid-air, and the dazzling light they unleashed caused almost everyone around to instinctively close their eyes.

"Those were truly dazzling fireworks!"

Meanwhile, in a certain sea area surrounding the Red Line, a pirate crew waving a blood-red skull and crossbones flag slowly sailed towards them.

On the deck, Shiryu of the Rain Pirates, captain of the Blood Rain Pirates, wearing an airplane cap and smoking a cigar, gazed at the scene before him with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"If I had the chance, I would like to have a go at these two formidable guys. If I could kill them, that would be even better."

"But for now, let's finish the mission the Straw Hat crew gave us before thinking about anything else~~~"

Shiryu glanced once more at the scene of sword energy crisscrossing, a battle between true swordsmen, then withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

Instead, he turned his bloodthirsty eyes to the many naval and guard troops on the battlefield.

0. 0

He was not a pure swordsman; for him, the sword was merely the most suitable tool for killing.

Shiryu relished the thrill of piercing an enemy's chest with his sword and taking their life.

If he had the ability to take other people's lives more easily, he would not hesitate to choose it.

Therefore, he couldn't understand Hawkeye's excitement.

Of course, if it's a fight where the two are both badly injured and he's the one to finish them off, he'd be so happy he'd even bite off the cigar in his mouth.

"Muruhohoho, is it finally time for a big battle?!"

"Hahaha, we've been waiting for this for ages!!!"

"Alas, alas, coming to such a battlefield, one careless move, one careless move... could very well... cost you your life... ugh~"

"Since we have come here by the guidance of fate, then if we are to perish here, then it is also the choice of fate."

On the deck of the Blood Rain Pirates, the many scoundrels and villains who had once been part of the Blackbeard Pirates also shared their thoughts and feelings about this.

1012 A bloodthirsty thug!! The navy and escort forces are in complete disarray!!

The remnants of the Blackbeard Pirates on Shiryu's ship were extremely excited and interested in this battle.

It's worth noting that they had absolutely no involvement in the Marineford War, a conflict that would be recorded in the annals of maritime history.

Missing out on such a grand battle was truly a regret for them.

Even Van Augur, who always believed that these were all results of fate, felt it was a great pity.

Therefore, upon learning of this impending war against the World Government, and moreover, a direct confrontation with the World Government, they naturally wouldn't miss it!

Without Link giving many instructions, just a simple command, a group of people, led by Shiryu, rushed over here without stopping.

Although their strength might be insufficient to deal with the admirals of the Navy's "010" Division.

However, dealing with the lieutenant generals at headquarters is still within our capabilities!
