nBe Careful not to twist your waist!

nIn the crowd, the person who was slowly walking over dragged four people who were seriously injured with their eyes rolled back. Those people all had crowns on their heads. They were the kings of the Four Kingdoms.

nHe was tall and thin, with white hair braided into two braids that hung over his shoulders. His eyebrows were scarlet, and a gold chain hung from his mouth. He was wearing a plum-red shirt and blood-red trousers, black leather shoes with gold edges, and a wide blood-red cloak with checkered patterns on the inside. He had a blue rose around his neck and a slender bat-handle umbrella in his hand.

nWith a devilish smile on his face, he put down the king of the four countries and his figure flashed. In the next moment, he appeared at the highest point of the mountain that divided the battlefield and looked down at Judge.

n“It’s really… wasted so much time and it’s not done yet. We have already exceeded the time we agreed, Judge.”

nJudge argued, “It’s just that this Marine is not easy to deal with. Without him, we would have completed it long ago.”

n“Failure is failure, just like Roger was captured and Newgate died in battle. Failure, nothing can be undone.”

nThe man shook his head. “Since I have taken action myself, the cooperation will be canceled. I don’t want the deposit. The rest of the profits are not for you.”

n“How can this be!”

nJudge shouted, “We also did a lot!”

n“Work?”

nThe man glanced at Judge and was silent for a while before he nodded and said, “Oh, so that’s what I think. Win the Four Kingdoms to get the title, take advantage of my laxness to get the treasure. If you can defeat me, you can also get the title of defeating ‘Solitary Red’. It’s really despicable, so I hate to ally with people.”

n“It’s him, Lonely Red, Red Earl, Balorick Ledfield,” Crowe confirmed.

nHearing Crowe’s words, Ledfield looked over. “A Marine who wants to live in peace? Interesting, why is he here?”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, before Crowe could react, he continued to nod. “Oh, the boss came over, so he had to come over?”

n“Nani?”

nCrowe’s eyes widened. This guy actually saw through his thoughts. As expected of…

n“As expected of a legendary figure?”

nLedfield said to Crowe, “You’re wrong. The so-called legend says that you can leave your name on the sea, and I am not qualified to leave my name on the sea now, so I came here to find the opportunity to become the strongest.”

n“This Kenbonshoku (Observation)….”

nKuro saw this scene and stared at the old man standing on the high ground and clicked his tongue. “He’s a little strong.”

n“Luciru Kuro.”

nLedfield turned and said, “I know you, a famous Marine who has recently appeared, huh? It’s interesting that you think being famous is a bad thing.”

nSo strong that he can read his own mind?!

nKuro’s eyebrows sank.

n“Actually, I didn’t want to.”

nLedfield shook his head. “My Kenbonshoku (Observation) has been very powerful since I was a child. I can easily see through people’s hearts. Now, this is even more powerful. But don’t worry, people like you can only read the surface thoughts.”

n“I heard you were on the sixth floor. Did that bastard Tiki let you out?” Kuro tightened his grip on Autumn Water and faced Ledfield.

nHe consciously restrained his mind and did not let Ledfield read his thoughts before looking over.

n“Ah…”

nLedfield looked up at the sky and sighed sadly. “Let it out? No, I can’t say that. It’s just that I was willing to come out. Newgate is dead… The old guys on the sea are not glorious after all. Age is the biggest enemy. They are not defeated by the enemy, they are just old. So I came out.”

nHe reached out to the moon. “I will find it and restore the power of youth. Then, after Roger and Newgate, I will become the strongest person in the sea. I will find the only treasure and become the new Pirate King.”

n“You continue, goodbye.”

nKuro cupped his hands and was about to leave.

n“That won’t do.”

nLedfield smiled at him. “Before I get that power…”

nWhoosh!

nWith that, his body flashed and he instantly arrived in front of Leda on the stone platform, and the bat-shaped umbrella stabbed towards her.

n“I don’t want Marines to know about my reappearance!”

nThe speed was so fast that Lida could not react in time. She maintained her eating posture and froze there.

nAt that moment, the stone platform below her collapsed. Just as the Bat Umbrella was about to arrive, Leda fell down because she lacked support.

nLedfield smiled and the bat umbrella he waved suddenly moved down and slashed at Leda.

nClang!!!

nA black saber was placed on the bat umbrella, and a wave of air was immediately stimulated in the air, spreading out in a circle.

nKuro appeared opposite Ledfield, his face gloomy. “Hey, old man, what do you want to do!”

n“Nice knife. Is it yours?”

nLedfield’s umbrella was painted with a touch of Armament Haki and entangled with the black blade. The two sides wrestled and made a cracking sound.

nAt this moment, he suddenly moved his hand up and the Bat Umbrella smoothly slid up the Autumn Water Blade. With a flip of his wrist, the Bat Umbrella rotated on his palm and went straight for Kuro’s head.

n“Afterimage Slash!”

nHowever, this sword only stabbed an afterimage. Kuro’s body rippled like water and a cold voice sounded from behind Ledfield.

nAutumn Water turned into a black light and slashed down.

nLedfield smiled. The moment the autumn water hit him, his body disappeared in a flash and he appeared on the ground. He praised, “Your speed is not bad. You can actually keep up with me.”

nHe couldn’t fly.

nSo many actions just now were done in the air, which shows how fast it was.

n“The old guy should leave.”

nKuro’s blade missed, he reached out to the sky and gritted his teeth, “Forcibly come out and move, be careful not to twist your waist!”

nThe sky was dark, and a large number of weapons, rocks, and ships fell from the sky like meteors, aiming at Ledfield and bombarding it.

n“This ability…”

nLedfield looked up and said nostalgically, “I miss it. Shiki also…”

nHe held the Bat Umbrella tightly and waved it up heavily. A semi-circular ripple cut out from the umbrella and swept towards the object falling from the sky.

nBOOM!!!

nUnder the slash, those things were all destroyed. The rocks were broken and the weapons were deformed into fragments. The ship was even cut through and shattered into a ball. Under the shock wave of the slash, they collectively splashed away.

nA few rudder flew out and hit Kuro’s head.

nKuro bared his teeth and clenched his fingers. “Lion Wei Ground Roll!”

nThe broken objects, including the rudder, gathered together again and formed a huge lion head with a roaring mouth that bit at Ledfield.

nEven if it shattered into pieces, it was still under his control!
