Chapter 108 I Want to Ride on a Dragon’s Back (Ch 108)

Hanafza spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and looking at the calm sea in front of him, which was completely different from the Grand Line, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief:
“Should we say that the East China Sea is worthy of being called the weakest sea? What kind of strong people can be created in such a mild environment?”
“The old ghost’s weapon is damaged. He shouldn’t be able to chase us here.”
“Besides.”
“Except for that old man, how many people in the Navy dare to go against the will of the World Government?”
The sound hasn’t landed yet.
Hanafza’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he raised his hand to grab an incoming shell…
boom!
Red flames exploded on the damaged pirate ship, and dust and smoke filled the air.
Immediately following.
A series of artillery fire came rushing from the sea in the distance, landing around the pirate ship and causing splashes of water all over the sky.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The seawater fell on Hanafza like raindrops, but his eyes were focused on the attacking warship in the distance, his face was livid:
“Is this ever going to end?”
“It’s just the East China Sea!”
“Who do you think I am?”
“Come closer!”
The damaged pirate ship began to exert its strength and rapidly approached the warship in the distance.
It was also at this moment that Hanafza saw a figure standing on the deck of the warship.
The man with white hair and no eyebrows, two cigars in his mouth and an exaggeratedly large ten-handed sword in his hand was Smoger who was stationed in Rogue Town.
“I am a Shichibukai authorized by the World Government. Does the Navy really disregard the World Government’s orders by attacking me?”
Smoger remained unmoved:
“Even if you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even if you have the World Government’s permission to plunder, the East China Sea is not your sphere of influence.”
“Either get back to the Grand Line, or I’ll send you to Impel Down.”
Smoger had been severely injured by Gawain before, and he was already full of anger with nowhere to vent. How could he have a good face to Hanafza who trespassed into the East China Sea without permission?
Hanafza said coldly, gritting his teeth:
“court death!”
The sound landed.
Hanafza’s body suddenly swelled up, and in a few breaths, it turned into a carnivorous dinosaur with two short arms. Its shoulder height was over eight meters, and it slightly sank the pirate ship.
Then Hanafza stomped his feet heavily, almost pressing the bow of the ship into the sea, and shot towards the distant warship like a cannonball.
He opened his mouth wide, emitting a bloody smell, as if he was going to swallow everything!
But his breathing almost stopped in the next moment, because a vast amount of white smoke suddenly rose above the sea in the distance.
“Natural system?!”
Hanafza was stunned, but the killing intent in his heart became even stronger:
“So what about the Natural Department?!”
“Little devil!”
“Heroism is the power that determines everything in this ocean!”
Accompanied by words.
The sharp teeth in Hanafza’s mouth were instantly covered by a layer of dark domineering aura, and then…
boom!
The giant dinosaur crashed into the deck of the warship and was instantly engulfed by endless smoke and dust.
Above the sea.
A brutal battle broke out.
Smoker, who had just recovered from a serious injury, faced Hanafza, a Shichibukai who was seriously injured by Zephyr but was full of murderous intent…
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
In the smoke.
The frequent earth-shattering roars made everyone on the pirate ship in the distance lose their minds and dared not to enter the center of the battlefield.
Because once affected, not only himself, but also the only pirate ship under his feet would be torn to pieces by Hanafza.
Just when they thought they were safe, several shells suddenly shot out from the white smoke in the distance and accurately hit the pirate ship.
For a moment, flames rose on the hull and wailing sounds rang out one after another.
The battle did not last long.
Smoker has awakened two-color domineering, and has the ability of a nature-type fruit. It is naturally a dimensionality reduction attack in the East China Sea. Even on the Grand Line, he is considered a good player.
But his opponent was, after all, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, one of the three major forces selected by the World Government to stabilize the situation on the ocean, along with the Navy and the Four Emperors.
Whether it is ability development, physical skills, or domineering cultivation, there is an obvious gap.
Half an hour later.
Hanafza was sitting on the deck of the warship, with many new wounds on his body, bleeding profusely.
Next to him was Smoker, who was nailed to the deck by Hailou’s Ten Hands and had already lost consciousness.
In silence.
Hanafza stretched out his hand towards Smoger’s neck, but his fingertips paused at the last moment, because a tall, strong, and domineering man suddenly emerged in his mind.
“The navy taking the initiative to attack me is a different crime from killing a naval officer.”
“You should thank Lord Kaido for his order, which requires me to keep this layer of skin of Shichibukai.”
…
…
…
A few days later.
East China Sea, Rogue Town.
At the port in front of the town, there are many more guards carrying out routine checks.
They looked around, tightly gripping their flintlocks, and anxiously questioned every person arriving at the port.
The news that Smoker was defeated by the Shichibukai Hanafza and his life or death was unknown had already been reported back. Having lost this pillar, the branch navy was now in a state of panic.
Unfortunately, these were still no match for the East China Sea nobles’ enthusiasm for this auction.
In the port.
There were many ships of various sizes, all exquisite and gorgeous, parked full. A group of nobles in exquisite clothes, surrounded by servants, slowly walked down from the deck.
“It is said that this time, there are even rare goods obtained from the Grand Line. Maybe there are even murlocs.”
“I had the honor of tasting the fur tribe’s flavor before, and that feeling was simply… simply…”
“It’s indescribable.”
A noble danced and told his companions about his experience, which immediately attracted the agreement of everyone.
Not long.
There were bursts of lustful smiles all around.
Gao Wen, carrying a suitcase, stood aside, listening to everyone’s discussion, his brows gradually furrowed.
“Is it possible that even a place like the East China Sea cannot avoid such things? These people have even become accustomed to it.”
“It’s really… a world without any cure.”
Speaking of.
Gawain shook his head, picked up the box in his hand, and slowly walked off the boat.
This is the ill of the whole world and it will not change by his personal will, at least not now.
Then Gawain focused on his goal.
The purpose of this trip was to buy treasures at the auction that would attract Donghai’s attention at the martial arts tournament. Treasures, famous swords and guns, or devil fruits would all be good choices.
Besides, Gao Wen saw Ajin’s anxiety about his strength.
If we were to ask which of Gawain’s subordinates was the most loyal to him, it would undoubtedly be Akin.
To understand one’s true heart and break through one’s beliefs requires luck and also involves gambling one’s life, but the Devil Fruit is a proven way to raise one’s self-limits.
“If we can buy a suitable devil fruit, we can let Jin choose it first.”
Between words.
Gawain walked slowly into the harbor.
In an instant.
Then a large group of people who looked like guides came over with sly or flattering smiles on their faces.
“Sir, I know everything about Rogue Town. For five thousand Baileys, I can take you anywhere you want to go.”
“I’ll give you four thousand five!”
“I’ll give you three thousand!”
…
For a while.
Everyone was arguing until their faces turned red.
Gawain’s eyes fell on a young girl outside the crowd.
He was about twelve or thirteen years old. His clothes were tattered and covered with thick patches that barely covered his body. He looked timidly at the people around him getting off the boat.
The girl noticed Gawain’s gaze, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, and she squeezed into the crowd with all her strength, mustering up her courage and saying:
“Sir, my name is Mira, I only want two thousand!”
“When my father was alive, he was a marine around here. I followed in his footsteps and visited every place here.”
“I even know where every manhole cover is on this road.”
Gawain naturally saw Mira’s embarrassment. To him, it didn’t matter who led the way. He pointed at Mira:
“It’s you.”
The sound landed.
The people surrounding Gawain suddenly dispersed and set their sights on other people around him. The area around Gawain was suddenly empty.
“Come with me.”
Mira wiped the mud off her face with her sleeve, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she turned around and walked towards the interior of Rogue Town with Gawain.
As the last town where the East China Sea meets the Grand Route, although Rogue Town is not as prosperous as the city in Gawain’s previous life, it also has the charm of a small coastal town.
The air is full of the smell of sea breeze.
There are many shops along the street, and almost all the specialties of the entire East China Sea can be found here.
Gawain even saw the oranges, a specialty of Cocoa West. It seemed that after Nami left, Nojigo had managed the orchard there quite well.
“This is beer produced in Yharnam. It has a delicious taste and a smooth texture. Most importantly, it has plenty of foam.”
“The strawberry pie here is the most famous in Logue Town. It’s not expensive. To be honest, few locals go there to eat it. They are just trying to scam tourists.”
…
Mira walked happily in front, constantly introducing the customs and practices of Rogue Town to Gawain. She was very familiar with everything here.
Apparently he hadn’t lied before.
Gao Wen listened quietly, but suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a doll shop nearby.
The doll shop was not big, and its transparent window was filled with four-legged, two-winged dragon dolls of all sizes, attracting many boys and girls who gathered in front of the window.
For a while.
Gao Wen inexplicably felt like he was seeing his own figurine:
“Red dragon doll?”
Mira looked at the name of the store, was slightly stunned, and a shy smile appeared on her face:
“Speaking of which.”
“I used to dream that one day I could ride on the back of a dragon.”
“It is said that the legendary dragon has countless treasures. If I can get those things, I can do it even if I have to be kidnapped.”
Gao Wen’s mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn’t know whether he should say something or not.
“After all, as long as there is money, my mother won’t have to work outside every day, and my younger brothers and sisters can go to school.”
As he spoke, Mila laughed twice, scratched his head, and then his eyes suddenly lit up:
“I can also pursue my dream, sir, you know what? I sing very well!”
Seeing that Gawain showed little interest, Mira continued:
“Speaking of which, the auction house in Rogue Town recently changed its owner. It is said that he came from the Grand Line.”
