Chapter 2 Monster

  "Captain, Honeycomb Isnd has arrived."

  Nichos, who was dozing off, was awakened by Vistad's loud voice.

  "Arrived, huh."

  "Yeah."

  Having received a definite answer, Nichos also stood up and stretched his body. Then, his entire demeanor instantly became sharp and aggressive. On Honeycomb Isnd, hiding your strength is the worst approach. Here, Pirate infighting is common. If you show weakness, you will either die or become fish food.

  This pce gathers the most wless people on the entire Sea. Even Nichos could get into fights here. After all, there are always some who overestimate themselves and want to climb up by stepping on the corpses of renowned strong individuals. Of course, this is also the fastest way to make a name for yourself on the Sea.

  "Men, hoist the Fg for me! Bring the Pirate Ship alongside!" Following Nichos's words, a Banner was raised, and the entire Pirate Ship began to move towards the Isnd Port.

  As the stronghold of the sea overlord Rocks.

  Hundreds of Pirate Ships of various shapes and sizes had already gathered at the Coast, and Pirates with ferocious faces and arrogant demeanors were constantly disembarking.

  And in almost every newly arrived Pirate crew, there were anywhere from a dozen to several dozen young people with excited or arrogant expressions constantly looking around. Various emotions were revealed in their eyes.

  Expectation.

  Unease.

  Ambition.

  Madness.

  But uniquely, no fear.

  And without exception, these people were all here to join Rocks's command and become members of Gibeck's Sword.

  Although Rocks's subordinates include powerhouses like Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, Captain John, and Wang Zhi, their retionship is more simir to that of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Although nominally subordinate, they each have their own forces, and their usual activities are dispersed. They only gather together for major operations or like today.

  However, these Pirates full of ambition or dreams probably never imagined that for the powerful Pirates on the isnd, today is a performance full of blood and revelry. And those who use Death and Blood to please them are these cute guys who dream of making a name for themselves on the Sea.

  "That guy is so arrogant, who is he with?" A sharp-eyed Pirate quickly noticed Nichos and his crew nding and curiously asked his companion beside him.

  "Damn it, keep your voice down, do you want to die?! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you." The Pirate next to him followed his gaze, saw Nichos, and quickly covered his mouth, his expression extremely terrified.

  "Cough cough, you want to suffocate me? Is it really necessary to be so nervous? He's just a kid." The Pirate who had his mouth covered forcefully pried open his companion's hand and greedily breathed in the air.

  "That guy is the captain of the seventh division of the Rocks Pirates, what do you think?" Hearing this, the Pirate who spoke earlier also looked terrified. After all, on this isnd, killing is guiltless. For a figure like a division captain to kill small fries like them is no big deal. Not to mention the division captain they belong to, even their own Captain probably wouldn't stand up for them.

  On the other side of the Isnd Coast, a man wielding a Naginata, with a golden wavy hairstyle, a crescent-shaped upward-curving white beard on his face, wearing a Captain's hat, very burly, and draped in a huge white Windbreaker, led hundreds of crew members towards the Central Isnd Castle.

  Along the way, almost all the Pirate crews they encountered instinctively made way when they met this group. After all, this man is the 【Whitebeard】 Edward Newgate who is famous throughout the New World!

  Although this demon god-like man has a good personality, once you offend or harm his crew members, there is only one path – Death. This is also the reason why many Pirates want to join Whitebeard's banner. As long as you join Whitebeard's banner, it's equivalent to gaining protection. Of course, Whitebeard's ship rules are yers of heavy shackles for many ambitious people.

  To put it bluntly, it's a Pirate Ship suitable for those who want to sck off. In front of the Central Castle in the middle of the Isnd, which resembles a skull, two groups of people met.

  "Worarararara"

  "Lightning Brat, I didn't expect you to come too." Whitebeard, who would ter be known as the strongest man in the world, was currently the captain of the first division of the Rocks Pirates!

  "The Captain personally gave the order, how could I not come? I don't want to be chased around the world by a terrifyingly strong psychopath." As he spoke, Nichos showed a rather punchable smile at Whitebeard and said, "Aren't you also worried about the Captain's pursuit? Don't pretend, it's not shameful."

  Whitebeard's crew members behind him were instantly furious upon hearing Nichos's words. Many even drew their Weapons and shouted loudly. "Do you know who you're talking to?!" "Believe it or not, our Captain will cut you down with one Ssh!" "If you know what's good for you, quickly kowtow and apologize to our Captain!" It seemed that because more people were speaking up, many were also filled with righteous indignation, and it looked like the two sides were about to fight at any moment.

  Facing Nichos's words, Whitebeard directly extended his palm to signal his crew members to be quiet. As his subordinates fell silent, Whitebeard's aura unconsciously emanated, and even onlookers in the distance clearly felt the air seemed to stagnate.

  "Brat, after not seeing you for so long, your tone has become increasingly arrogant!?" Whitebeard looked at Nichos with interest. In the Rocks Pirates, Nichos was someone who interested him because after joining the Rocks Pirates, this person had never wantonly sughtered residents. Many times when fights broke out, he was just messing around. You should know that Pirates are synonymous with burning, killing, looting, and plundering.

  And the most important thing is that the number of Pirates who died at this guy's hands is not small.

  "It's not that my tone is arrogant, but this is the truth. Old White, although your individual strength is indeed strong, even strong enough to single-handedly pull a bunch of trash to sit in the position of first division captain, you also know that those whose strength can't keep up will only become burdens on this Sea." Nichos said calmly, seemingly not afraid of Whitebeard at all. Of course, this is also because he has confidence. Although he can't beat Whitebeard head-on, if he wants to leave, Whitebeard can't stop him either.

  "Worararara, they are not burdens, but my lovely subordinates!" Whitebeard was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty ughter.

  "A troublesome guy is coming, I'll leave first. I hope you can protect your lovely subordinates." After Nichos finished speaking, he said to his subordinates behind him, "Everyone, enter the Castle immediately!"

  Almost immediately after Nichos and the others entered the Castle, a whistling sound suddenly came from the distant horizon. A Pirate Ship with a roaring Lion figurehead appeared in the sky above Honeycomb Isnd.

  "Hahahaha, Whitebeard, long time no see!" Along with a hearty ugh, a Flying Ssh hundreds of meters long directly attacked towards Whitebeard and his group. Once hit by an attack of this magnitude, the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates would probably suffer heavy casualties.

  "Ara rarara~ What a truly enthusiastic way to greet someone, Yellow-Haired Lion." Facing the incoming Ssh, Whitebeard pnted his Naginata directly on the ground, then white energy flowed on his Fist, quickly enveloping it, and directly punched towards the Ssh.
