A foreigner's journey

While suppressing his anger, he coveted his achievements.

The Straw Hats VS the extra-staff troops of the Beast Pirates, the battle has been intense from the beginning.

Kira took the lead, turning into a meteor and rushing towards the Straw Hats. The metal wrist guards on both arms respectively protruded rotatable sickle blades. As Kira shook his wrists slightly, they began to rotate rapidly, aiming directly at the target. Pointing to Straw Hat Luffy's head!

Clang!

The rapidly rotating sickle blade and the upward swinging blade hit each other, causing the dust in the surrounding air to emit violent fluctuations visible to the naked eye.

Zoro held the black sword [Akisui] and the demon sword [Sandai Kitetsu] crossed together, firmly blocking the sickle blade swung by Kira.

"Roronoa Zoro... I'm really lucky that I didn't kill you two years ago in the Shampoo Islands." Kira's voice was calm and powerful, and its power was even comparable to that of Zoro, who is the best in pure strength among the Straw Hats. There is a stalemate.

"Lucky? How do you say this?" Veins suddenly appeared on Zoro's forehead, and the muscles in his arms suddenly exerted force, and he slowly pushed the sickle blade upward amidst the sound of grinding teeth.

Even though it was covered by a metal mask, everyone present could still see the supernova's violent fighting spirit in Kira's increasingly loud voice:

"If I had killed you back then, how could I easily get so much [credit] today!?"

Zoro also showed a sinister smile on his lips: "...To each other, we are also worried about not being able to find a 'survivor'. Work harder, don't die by my knife!"

The blades and scythes of the two men instantly turned into blurry shadows, and they were fighting each other as fast as they could.

Luo pulled out his beloved sword [Ghost Cry] with a serious look on his face: "Straw Hat Master, we must fight quickly and never delay it for too long, otherwise others may discover it and report it to Kaido and Heather. In addition, stay as long as possible. A few survivors."

"Oh! Got it! I will knock them all down as fast as possible!"

Steam came out of Luffy's body and he instantly entered [Gear 2].

On the other hand, Hawkins leisurely took out a pile of Tarot cards, shuffling the cards while showing a cold smile: "In some respects, you and I have the same idea... Trafalgar. But here we are. My [combat power] will not be lost to you, so let the [game] begin."

As he said that, he pulled out a Tarot card: "Huh? [The Sun] is in the right position. This is a powerful card. But one card seems to be insufficient to deal with you, so let's get another one."

The second card was also drawn from the deck by Hawkins, and it was the [World] in its correct position.

"Um?"

Zoro, who was having a fierce fight with Kira, suddenly found that his opponent's strength and agility had greatly increased. He was unknowingly cut a crack in his chest by the sickle blade, and blood spurted out!

Not only Kira, but all the teammates on Hawkins' side were visibly bulging in muscles and their bodies had grown in size. They raised their weapons and charged towards the Straw Hats with an astonishing momentum.

"[Sun] strengthening card, [World] linking card, this is a rare combination of cards. The destiny is with me!"

Hawkins raised the straw sword hilt high into the sky, and the straw blade squirmed and transformed into a giant cud floating in mid-air! Both the hair and clothing of this rascal are made of straw. The teeth in its mouth and the tips of its fingers are all sharp black rusty nails, and it makes a shrill roar.

"Just use this [Straw Hand Knife·Cursed Demon Spirit] to kill you all cleanly. [Cursed Nail Nian Kill]!"

The huge crow spirit was covered in straw, and then it sprayed out a sky full of black spikes from its mouth, flying towards the Straw Hats!

But when the rain of nails was about to hit the Straw Hats, they all disappeared.

Trafalgar Law held the knife with one hand, raised his right hand with the middle, ring and little fingers raised. The invisible [ROOM] covered the entire battlefield. He looked at Hawkins and smiled:

"Basil Hawkins, don't think that you are the only one with strange fruit abilities on this battlefield. From now on, [flying props] are invalid."

"Trafalgar... wouldn't it be nice to live a little longer?" Hawkins pulled out another Tarot card: "[The Pope] is reversed, let's start, the 'Pursuit Card'!"

A seven-meter-long wooden board covered with sharp rusty nails appeared in the hands of the giant dwarf, and it quickly chased after Trafalgar Law.

"Hey! Don't ignore me! Rubber rubber..."

Luffy's voice came from beside Hawkins, and Luffy appeared not far from Hawkins. His arms extended backward infinitely, and then he suddenly accelerated and hit Hawkins!

"[Gulphine Rocket Launcher]!!"

The blow hit Hawkins hard enough to blast through the rock, but it couldn't make him move even a step.

A member of the Beast Pirates group far away in the Rabbit Bowl Prison suddenly let out a scream, and all the bones in his chest and left arm were shattered. A large amount of blood mixed with internal organs and bone fragments spurted out from his mouth, and he was paralyzed. Fall to the ground.

At the same time, Hawkins waved his finger, and dozens of one-meter-long spikes suddenly appeared under Luffy's feet, narrowly missing Luffy and skewering him into a skewer.

"It was so dangerous! I almost got stabbed into a skewer! What is that? A sharp cone formed by twisting straw together?"

Luffy used [Shaving] in time to dodge the sneak attack and looked at the ground. The ground around Hawkins was completely covered by a forest of bamboo-like straw cones. At this time, the cones were slowly shrinking back underground.

"Straw Hat, do you think I would stand here so arrogantly and let you attack me?"

Hawkins is a superhuman straw fruit user. This strange fruit can give Hawkins various abilities related to [curse], [divination], [trap], and [ritual]. In terms of weirdness, the Straw Fruit ranks among the best among all Devil Fruits.

At this time, Hawkins' right arm suddenly turned into the material of straw. A small scarecrow crawled out with difficulty and fell to the ground. If you look closely at the little scarecrow, you can see that its chest and left arm were crushed. Crush.

"My life is reduced by one. In order to fight you, I have prepared enough life stock." Hawkins sneered and drew out a straw sword, transformed into a second giant cowling, and guarded him.

Luo, who maintained the ROOM domain, suddenly asked: "Why would a strong man like you be willing to sacrifice your life for Kaido? Answer me, Hawkins!"

"Strong one? Hehehe... Trafalgar, you don't understand anything at all."

Hawkins could no longer hide his calm face, and roared with a ferocious face:

"You have never seen the [power] that makes people despair! The [power] that is enough to defeat your abundant confidence for decades, shatter all your self-esteem and pride, and make you willing to surrender! You, you, this world , will all surrender to Lord Kaido! He will ascend the throne and become the new [One Piece]!"

"Wrong, I am the one who will become the Pirate King, not Kaido."

Luffy looked serious: "You can't stop us. After I defeat you, I will beat Kaido away!"

Hawkins regained his composure: "Blind confidence, just like me who was allied with Kidd at that time. However, you will not be my opponent, and above me there is [Fei Liubao], [Fei Liubao] Above is the [Big Signboard]. Who is the strongest person on the [Big Signboard]? Do you need me to remind you?"

"...Heather!" Luffy couldn't help but clenched his right fist.

"Heise-sama is as powerful as Kaido of the Hundred Beasts. In other words, even if you go all the way to the top of Onigashima, you will eventually face two [Yonko] level beings. This is why I The reason why we are willing to give in is that there is no organization more powerful than the Beast Pirates in this world, not even the navy."

Hawkins drew two more cards and said with a cold smile: "Enough time has been wasted. Now, the game is over."

Countless straws poured out from his body and wrapped around his body. The wriggling straw giant gradually took shape and stood up.

"[The Appearance of Conquering Demons]!"

The teeth and fingers in his mouth all turned into black rusty nails, and a huge straw evil spirit with a height of ten meters appeared in the center of the battlefield. One of the two giant dwarfs stood by his side as a guard, while the other kept attacking the Straw Hats.

In order to prevent the non-stop "black spike" shooting, Luo could only maintain the ROOM ability to continuously transfer all the black spikes away, and was unable to deal with other members of the Kidd Pirates.

"[Devil] is upright, [Wheel of Fortune] is reversed, and it's a combo card again. Let me say it again, destiny... is on my side!"

The giant straw evil spirit transformed by Hawkins violently waved its long arms covered with spikes to force Luffy back. Countless holes opened in the straw gaps on his body, revealing terrifying eyeballs.

"Pretend to be a ghost! Watch me beat you away!! Rubber rubber..."

Luffy instantly entered [Gear 4] and transformed into a 'Bounce Man' in the form of a little giant.

Creak, creak, creak... His right fist kept compressing into the depth of his arm like a spring, and then the elasticity exploded, blasting towards Hawkins!

"[Ape King Spear]!!"

At this time, the thirty-three eyeballs on the Straw Evil Spirit turned and stared at Luffy and the punch. A huge mouth covered with black nails emerged from the Straw Evil Spirit's belly, splitting into a weird smile:

"One, two, three... scarecrow!"

At this moment, Luffy and his right fist were all 'frozen', and he fell to the ground motionless, unable to even move his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the giant dwarf spirit swung the black-nailed plank and hit Luffy hard. [Block 4], which originally relied on 'rubber tension' and 'armed color domineering' to achieve high-strength defense, was directly broken by this weird cursed nail, creating a row of bloody holes.

[Devil] is in the right position, binding card.

[Wheel of Fortune] Reversed, freeze the cards.

One, two, three, Scarecrow, when you see someone, if that person is attacking Hawkins, directly 'freeze and bind' him.

"Every child knows the rules of the game... Straw Hat, haven't you ever played?"

PS: I’m going to have fundus angiography on Tuesday. Because my pupils need to be dilated, I’m afraid I won’t be able to write on Tuesday. Alas, I still have time to worry about the code... Obviously the examination results after the angiography are the most worrying. Wish me luck, everyone.
