Kapitel 53: Unknown man
Just as Nicholas continued reading the newspaper, suddenly there was a violent shaking beneath his feet. After the shaking subsided, the people in the bar were first stunned, then all rushed outside, and the same scene was happening in the internal of other forces around.
"Nicholas, it's time to set off!" Kallet appeared beside Nicholas and said.
Without lifting his head, Nicholas finished reading the newspaper, folded it and placed it on the bar, and then stood up, staring at the source of the tremor. "I say, old man, don't be in such a hurry. The real decision-makers of those fine wines have always been the strong ones."
Kallet didn't respond to him, just took a deep puff of his cigar, stared directly at Nicholas, and said slowly, "You're still young, you know how many ships have set sail just now? For some forces, human lives are never precious. As long as they can get the Wine God, human lives, hehe."
Hearing this, Nicholas also reacted. Although the strong are respected in the world of pirates, the lives of ordinary people are like ants. For them, exchanging a life of ants for wine that can enhance their strength, those major forces definitely don't mind.
"Let's go, our vanguard and departure are ready."
After saying that, Kallet threw his cloak and walked straight outside the bar.
And Nicholas picked up the unfinished wine, took a sip, and followed suit.
When they boarded the ship to the Lawless Zone, Nicholas realized that the outskirts of Oakworm city had become a fierce battlefield, with smoke everywhere, and ships burning and sinking into the sea from time to time because of the bodies floating in the sea and the smell of blood that had attracted a large number of sharks.
"Wow, it's started? How come no one is attacking us?"
Looking at the ship sailing out of the melee area, Nicholas asked curiously.
"Hehe, those guys are not that stupid. Although they're eliminating competitors, they're still clear about who they can and cannot mess with, just like vultures following behind a fierce beast. Those guys will fight for scraps, but they won't have the courage to snatch food from the fierce beast's mouth. And you, you're like a monster. Before reaching Wine god island, no one will easily push you to the opposite side." Kallet exhaled smoke.
With Kallet's words, Nicholas could see that the World Government, the Navy, and some major forces' fleets were sailing out from the middle.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Nicholas could clearly see a huge fountain appearing on the distant sea.
"It's really spectacular."
Looking at the huge fountain in the distance, Nicholas couldn't help but comment.
"Haha, there will be even more spectacular scenes later."
Looking at the gradually calming fountain in the distance, Kallet said with a smile.
Shortly after, Nicholas learned what Kallet meant by spectacular scenes.
Only to see countless water columns continuously gushing out from the island like a champagne bottle and flowing directly into the sea along the terrain. Even more, the sea began to churn violently, and then giant sea kings emerged from the sea, swallowing the wine on the sea surface.
"These sea kings are also here for Wine God?"
"Of course not. The Wine God that only those winemakers know how to find, these sea kings are just attracted by the fine wine. Moreover, for us humans, the Wine God that can improve our physique is not worth mentioning in the eyes of these sea 'monsters'. It's far less than these abundant fine wines."
After half an hour, the gathered sea kings began to leave, and with their departure, the scent of wine in the air became faint.
Kallet took out a pair of metal fingerless gloves from his pocket, put them on his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Next, it's the real fight."
Whoosh!
As Kallet's words fell, a strong wind blew, lifting the hems of the two men's clothes.
Bang!!
Almost instantly, the figures of Nicholas and Kallet disappeared from the deck, and then between the sea and sky, a huge wave erupted, and for a while, the strong from all sides collided with each other, causing a series of shockwaves, stirring up the surrounding sea.
Clang!!!
Nicholas turned himself into a blur, heading straight for the Celestial Dragon's ship, after all, others might be casual, but he really disliked Celestial Dragons. Just as he was about to land on the Celestial Dragon's ship, his Observation Haki suddenly warned him, then a black blade appeared in front of him, colliding with Nicholas's Armament Haki-covered fist, making a crisp sound.
Crack...
Nicholas punched forward, withstanding the opponent's blade, making a scraping sound.
"You're quite unfamiliar."
Nicholas said in surprise. Although there were many strong people and monsters in the New World, they had not yet become widespread. Especially the swordsmen, Nicholas didn't dare to say he recognized them all, but at least he would have an impression. But the person in front of him was completely unfamiliar.
"Nicholas, user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, now captain of the seventh division of the Rocks Pirates. Your strength is not weak either."
With the fall of his words, the swordsman, who had been holding the sword with both hands, turned into holding it with one hand. His right hand clenched his fist, and Armament Haki quickly covered his entire right hand. Then his arm turned into a blur, and dense attacks rained down like raindrops towards Nicholas.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Nicholas was directly knocked out by this series of attacks. Then, in the air, he adjusted his posture and stepped on the Moon Walk repeatedly.
"Oh? Why don't you use your Devil Fruit ability? You guys shouldn't rely too much on Devil Fruit abilities, right?"
The swordsman, now holding his sword, sheathed it, and then leaned slightly forward, preparing for a sword draw.
"Your identity is not a slave of the Celestial Dragons, right?"
Nicholas didn't answer, but asked instead.
"No comment."
Seeing the other's expression, Nicholas could confirm that the person in front of him was not a lackey sent by the Celestial Dragons. Even from the performance of the other people on this ship, this guy had real power, but Nicholas was not sure about his identity yet.
"Since you are a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, then try my move!"
"Thunder Slice!"
With a swift slash, a swift strike swept towards Nicholas.
Hiss! Hiss!
Even the air seemed to be cut under this one strike.
"So sharp, it's exaggerated."
Nicholas, whose body had separated from his waist, couldn't help but comment.
"Natural elements are really tricky, but my attacks are not just that."
As the swordsman sheathed his sword, the slash that had passed through Nicholas suddenly burst out with a large number of sword qi, engulfing Nicholas.
Clang!
Nicholas's long sword rolled down from the air and plunged into the deck. But Nicholas's figure had disappeared.
