I agreed to win with Roger, but the guy I met was too young Chapter 076

“Boom—!!!” A red sword aura flashed, and even though the Celestial Dragons’ guards were already very powerful, could they be stronger than the combined might of the Three Admirals??

Only Stella’s ship was left intact; all other Celestial Dragon ships exploded simultaneously.

Amidst the sky-high flames, Rhett, carrying Tesoro, leisurely landed on the deck, humming an improvised tune.

With a gentle swing of the Black Tide Greatsword, Stella’s shackles snapped with a “click.”

Astray slumped onto the deck, his bubble headpiece reflecting Rhett’s approaching figure: “You, you know I am—”

“Shh.”

Rhett’s Black Tide Greatsword didn’t stop. “Your bloodline, I know it all too well. No need to sicken me with it again.”

“Pfft!”

The Celestial Dragon’s head exploded like a watermelon, but the blood mist condensed into a miniature Golden City model, landing steadily in Tesoro’s palm.

First, a little mental suggestion for you, hehe, plan complete~

The news of the Celestial Dragon’s death swept through the World Government like a storm, enraging Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders slammed their hands on the table, furiously denouncing the Navy’s incompetence, and ordered Marine Headquarters to immediately dispatch an Admiral to suppress the rioters!

“Rhett… as a Warlord, he dared to publicly murder a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago?! This is a slap in the Navy’s face.” Sengoku’s face was grim, his fists clenching with a cracking sound.

Akainu Sakazuki’s eyes burned with fury as he abruptly stood up: “I knew pirates couldn’t be trusted!”

However, Fleet Admiral Kong raised a hand to stop him, turning his gaze to Kizaru, who was leisurely clipping his nails with his legs crossed: “Borsalino, you go. Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp are all out on missions. You’re the only one who can arrive quickly.”

Kong paused, then added: “Pay attention to your own safety. You are permitted to retreat.”

Kizaru slowly raised his head, revealing a lazy expression: “Kowai ne~”

Kizaru shrugged and vanished from the office in a flash of golden light.

The night wind of the Sabaody Archipelago carried the scent of blood. Rhett stood on the burning ruins of the auction house, the Black Tide Greatsword resting on his shoulder, his crimson pupils looking down at Tesoro, who was kneeling on the ground.

“How do you feel?” Rhett looked at Tesoro with a smile.

Tesoro trembled all over, holding Stella, whose knees had been shot through, her dance dress stained with blood.

His eyes shifted from despair to bewilderment, then to fanatical worship, finally settling on Rhett—this man who had descended from the sky, shattering the Celestial Dragon with one slash, and also bringing about his own new life.

“My King,” Tesoro knelt on one knee, holding Stella.

Rhett grinned: “Aren’t you going to ask who I am?”

“From the moment you rescued Stella, I, Tesoro, will always be loyal to you. Although I am very weak now, I will spend my entire life repaying this kindness.”

Rhett squatted down, staring at Tesoro, and asked a few seemingly unrelated questions:

“Do you hate the Celestial Dragons? Hate this world? Hate your own powerlessness?”

Tesoro’s pupils constricted, and a hoarse sound squeezed from his throat: “…Yes.”

“Very good.” Rhett released his hand and stood up. “But hatred can’t kill people; only power can.”

He turned and walked towards the port, his great cloak billowing in the wind like blood waves.

He said faintly: “Take that small boat and leave.”

“Escape with your woman. Go accumulate your money, power, and strength, and prove to me that you are worthy of boarding my future ship.”

Tesoro looked down at Stella in his arms. Her fingers gently clutched his collar, and she nodded weakly but firmly.

Rhett felt he was truly a genius. Tesoro’s growth, in Rhett’s opinion, was quite good. Now, if Tesoro followed him, it would actually limit his talent.

Rhett had previously complained about the One Piece fanfiction he read, where after transmigrating, everyone had to kill a few Celestial Dragons on Sabaody.

Now, Rhett understood. These Celestial Dragons truly deserved to die. If he had the power, why wouldn’t he kill them? To keep them around and disgust himself?

Fellow transmigrators, I haven’t shamed us!

Not long after, oh!

“Boom—!”

Golden light exploded, and Kizaru, with his hands in his pockets, leisurely landed in front of Rhett, tilting his head and saying, “Oh, how scary, Rhett-chan, daring to kill a Celestial Dragon.”

Rhett, with the Black Tide Greatsword on his shoulder, grinned: “Vice Admiral Kizaru, long time no see.”

“How magnificent~” Kizaru floated in mid-air, looking at the blood mist spreading over the sea. “Is it worth killing a Celestial Dragon for two slaves?”

Rhett grinned: “You, a civil servant who clocks in for a salary, do you understand what ‘taking pleasure in revenge’ means, Vice Admiral Kizaru?”

“How mean~” Kizaru exaggeratedly clutched his chest. “I’m very serious about my mission~ Yasakani no Magatama!”

Countless light bullets poured down, but upon touching the blood mist, they strangely decelerated, eventually disappearing as if sinking into a quagmire.

Rhett raised an eyebrow: “So, how about letting me leave?”

Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses: “That won’t do. After all, I’m a Marine.”

Before his words finished, golden light condensed on his fingertips—

Another round of “Yasakani no Magatama!”

Countless light bullets poured down like a torrential rain!

Rhett laughed loudly, swinging the Black Tide Greatsword. The blood mist surged, actually swallowing all the light bullets!

“Mist God Style: Oni Flash!”

Kizaru narrowed his eyes: “Oh? Kowai ne, Rhett-chan~”

He instantly flashed behind Rhett and swept his leg horizontally—

“Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light!”

Rhett did not dodge.

“Mist God Style: Mist Concealment Slash!”

“Clang!”

Rhett disappeared and instantly reappeared behind Kizaru, slashing out with a backhand strike, the crimson sword aura tearing through the air!

Kizaru transformed into golden light and dodged, but a piece of his coat was still cut off. He looked down, smacked his lips, and said, “Isn’t that cheating? How dangerous~”

The two “fiercely battled” above the Sabaody Archipelago, golden light and blood mist intertwined, dyeing the entire sky red and yellow!

The Marine fleet watched from afar, no one daring to approach.

The battle lasted for half an hour when Kizaru suddenly stopped, scratching his head: “Oh dear? It seems I can’t win.”

Rhett mocked with a grin: “You’re acting terribly.”

Kizaru spread his hands: “I can’t help it. Fleet Admiral Kong ordered me to capture you alive.”

After speaking, he was sent flying by Rhett’s slash, crashing into the distant Marine fleet, splashing water everywhere!

The Marine soldiers were dumbfounded: “Vice Admiral Kizaru… lost?!”

Rhett: What are you guys surprised about, bubble tea pot? Three of you couldn’t keep me, and one wants to reach for the sky?

Kizaru poked his head out of the ship, lazily waving his hand: “Ah, how scary, I’m injured, I need to go back and recuperate.”

Kong calmly said into the phone: “Borsalino! Come back.”

Kong naturally knew that Borsalino alone could not capture Rhett. All Three Admirals going together was impossible.

The Navy only needed to show their stance.

Rhett stood on top of the shattered auction house, gazing at the distant horizon. This wasn’t him trying to look profound.

It was because Rhett had given his ship to Tesoro when he was showing off just now.

But, the recent battle had mostly destroyed the ships in the harbor. In plain words, Rhett couldn’t leave!

“I should have kept one,” Rhett rubbed his temples, then chuckled, “Never mind. Anyway, that kid needs it more than I do.”

He hoisted the Black Tide Greatsword onto his shoulder and leaped, landing on the chaotic street.

In the distance, the Marines were still gathering, but no one dared to approach the area shrouded in blood mist.

“Since there’s no ship… I’ll go find Uncle Rayleigh.”

Meanwhile, Tesoro, holding Stella, sailed into an unknown future on a small boat. In his eyes, a burning desire for money and power ignited.

“My King… one day, I will show my own worth in my own way.”
