I’m the suit thug from the Rocks Pirates! Chapter 111

As Whitebeard’s words fell, Shiki had already slowly drawn out the two famous swords, Kareki and Sakura, from his waist.

He couldn’t defeat that monster, Luo Ye, but could he not defeat this guy, Whitebeard?

Since the two of them first made their mark in the New World, these two guys had basically been pirates of the same era.

Neither Whitebeard nor Shiki had ever conceded to the other, and there had never been a true winner in any of their battles.

Even after joining the Rocks Pirates, both of them held the same executive positions.

Now that Whitebeard dared to challenge him, Shiki naturally couldn’t ignore it!

However, at this moment, Charlotte Linlin suddenly spoke, “Luo Ye, there’s nothing left for me to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Luo Ye nodded casually, not taking it to heart.

However, even so, Charlotte Linlin would never leave without Luo Ye’s permission.

After all, even if she didn’t participate in this war, everyone present probably knew what she was thinking.

Now that Luo Ye had agreed to her departure, Charlotte Linlin naturally wouldn’t delay any longer.

One must know that Charlotte Linlin was still anxious to mend her relationship with Kaido!

After Charlotte Linlin left, the battle between Shiki and Whitebeard finally officially began.

The collision between the two famous swords, Kareki Sakura, and Murakumogiri instantly caused the sea to churn.

Marco looked at Luo Ye, who was on the Moby Dick, and asked, “Luo Ye, who do you think will win the final victory in the battle between Pops and Shiki?”

Luo Ye watched the increasingly intense battle between Whitebeard and Shiki.

He grinned and said, “I don’t know. The only thing I know is that this battle will be very interesting!”

After all, in the original work, these two guys were both legendary pirates!

[ 096] The Deviating Trajectory of the Whitebeard Pirates!

Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Shiki the Golden Lion.

The two of them had basically been pirates of the same era since the beginning of their pirating careers.

In the original work, Whitebeard’s status in the New World soared after the dissolution of the Rocks Pirates and the establishment of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He even earned the title of “World’s Strongest Man.”

It wasn’t until he finally died at the hands of the Marines while saving Ace that this Emperor of the Sea finally passed away.

This completely marked the end of the old era.

As for Shiki.

In the original work, the power he developed at the beginning far surpassed Whitebeard’s.

If it weren’t for encountering the “Son of Destiny,” Roger, Shiki’s fleet would have been severely damaged after the Battle of Edd War.

Even Shiki himself had a ship’s rudder stuck in his head, which rendered him unable to use his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi abilities.

But even so, this guy was able to cause a huge ruckus at Marine Headquarters. Even with Sengoku and Garp teaming up, it still took them three days and three nights to finally defeat Shiki.

The defeated Shiki was imprisoned in Impel Down, the underwater great prison.

To escape, this legendary great pirate, Shiki, was willing to sacrifice his legs, becoming the first person to successfully escape from Impel Down.

The result was that this legendary great pirate ultimately lost to Luffy, who possessed the protagonist’s aura.

If Shiki knew that he would end up with such a fate, he would probably rather have the Battle of Edd War be his final battle.

He would absolutely not want to die at the hands of Garp’s grandson!

Even if Luo Ye told Shiki about his ultimate fate, even if Shiki didn’t want to fight Luo Ye, he would absolutely not be able to ignore such an insult from Luo Ye!

Furthermore, according to Luo Ye’s speculation.

Due to the changes brought about by his arrival, Shiki might still want Roger to be his helper, but this idea would definitely not be as strong.

After all, after truly witnessing Luo Ye’s terror, Roger would not be enough to truly pique Shiki’s interest to the point of being indispensable, as in the original plot.

Because of this, Shiki’s fate would probably also be changed by Luo Ye.

Before joining the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard and Shiki often fought.

But ever since they both became executives of the Rocks Pirates, such battles had never happened again.

As for now, such battles had finally continued.

The collision of Kareki Sakura and Murakumogiri caused the sea, which had just barely calmed down, to once again experience extremely violent fluctuations.

The Moby Dick and Shiki’s pirate ship began to sway as a result, and waves constantly surged around the ship.

This situation clearly demonstrated the power of the battle between Whitebeard and Shiki.

The current World’s Strongest Swordsman was Shiki the Golden Lion.

In terms of swordsmanship, no one in the world was stronger than Shiki.

Even Mihawk, the World’s Strongest Swordsman in the original plot, had never fought Shiki.

After all, by the time Mihawk became famous, Shiki had already cut off his legs after escaping from Impel Down.

If it were during Shiki’s peak, it would probably not be so simple for Mihawk to obtain the title of World’s Strongest Swordsman.

Although Whitebeard was not as good as Shiki in terms of swordsmanship, he was much stronger than Shiki in terms of physical combat.

As for Devil Fruit abilities.

Both Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi and Shiki’s Fuwa Fuwa no Mi possessed extremely powerful abilities.

However, in this battle, neither of them chose to use their Devil Fruit abilities.

Instead, they directly engaged in a head-on confrontation.

Marco suddenly leaned closer to Luo Ye and curiously asked, “Luo Ye, is your ability really not a Devil Fruit ability?”

Upon hearing this, the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates all flocked over, wanting to hear how Luo Ye would answer this question.

After all, even just this unverified piece of news had caused such a huge stir in the New World.

It was conceivable that if Luo Ye really found a way to eat multiple Devil Fruits at once, even if those guys knew they wouldn’t be Luo Ye’s opponents, they would still choose to rush to their deaths for such extremely powerful abilities.

After all, the fundamental reason why the Whitebeard Pirates in the original plot ultimately fell, and why Whitebeard died in the Summit War, was because of Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, who was a member of their crew. He started the war that ended the old era in order to become the new Emperor of the Sea.

Even Teach’s purpose for joining the Whitebeard Pirates was simply to make it easier to obtain the Yami Yami no Mi.

Unfortunately, Marshall D. Teach was not yet a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Otherwise, Luo Ye might have taken this opportunity to let that guy experience what true fear was.

Luo Ye chuckled when he heard this.

“What, you want to have multiple abilities too?”

As his words fell, Marco, the pineapple head, quickly shook his head.

He refused with an exceptionally firm tone, “How could that be!”

“No matter if you’ve mastered this method or not, I wouldn’t even think about such a thing!”

“What’s more, once you eat a Devil Fruit, you’ll immediately become a ‘landlubber’ who can’t swim.”

“For me, even if I can’t have the power of a Devil Fruit, I would never eat such a thing!”

Upon hearing this, Jozu and the others behind Marco also nodded very firmly.

Just as Marco said.

For them, since they had already chosen to become pirates, how could they become ‘landlubbers’ just because of a mere Devil Fruit?

If they couldn’t swim in the sea anymore, what would be the point of traveling?

What’s more, these people chosen by Whitebeard could be said to have very high confidence in themselves.

They believed that even without the power of a Devil Fruit, they could still stand at the pinnacle of the New World.
