Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Albana, the Royal Palace.

King Cobra opened the window of his room and looked up at the thick clouds in the sky.

"It's going to rain..."

Cobra sighed, suddenly something in the distant desert caught his attention.

"Um?"

...

Although it was night, the residents of Albana also took out the water storage containers from their homes and put them in the usual places.

It is customary for residents of Alabasta to store some fresh rainwater whenever it rains, in case there is no water available in the event of a drought.

But just as the residents put away the containers and planned to go home to hide from the rain, there was a sudden change in the sky.

In the distance, a frantic air flow visible to the naked eye rose into the sky, breaking through the sky like a sharp blade.

The thick clouds were torn apart, as if an eye had been opened, and the moon emerged from it like a pupil, looking down on the earth from above.

"Then... what is that!"

"The sky has been opened!"

"That direction, shouldn't it be an uninhabited desert?"

"..."

The residents were extremely shocked by the scene in front of them. Even though the heavy rain fell and wet their clothes, they still couldn't help talking.

In the end, an experienced old sailor knocked on his pipe and said slowly:

"Since it's a desert without people, let's leave it alone and let the boys not approach it easily."

After all, the old sailor was well-informed and guessed things roughly.

"Probably some strong man is fighting, let's not ask for trouble, maybe there will be danger."

...

Facts have proved that the old sailor's judgment is absolutely correct.

The battle between Rowan and Karp that used "three-point force" was indeed a bit too loud, and the scope of its impact was also extremely wide.

The gravel all over the sky wreaks havoc with the sand dunes as the center point, flying wildly.

At first, Crocodile didn't think it was a big deal, he could also play a similar sandstorm.

But when a stone flew over and smashed his head, Crocodile realized that it was no wonder that these two people had come to fight in this deserted desert.

The aftermath of the storm these two created was too terrifying.

That is not an ordinary sandstorm at all, but a meat grinder that can grind ordinary people to pieces!

The elemental head gradually recovered, and Crocodile noticed Granny He beside him.

From the outside, this is indeed just a very energetic old lady, but this astonishingly powerful sandstorm can't do anything to her at all.

With the domineering appearance of knowledge and knowledge, Granny He moved slightly to avoid the deadly stones flying in the storm.

...

In the distance, the dunes.

To be more precise, because of the storm caused by Rowan and Garp, the sand dune has become a "sand pit" at this moment.

Countless gravel rolled and surged, and the two of them were in it, the tip of the spear and the fist interlaced, refusing to give in to each other.

Garp smiled more happily than before, and his eyes shone with excitement.

What a great after-dinner activity!

He knew very well that for polearms, the ability of close combat was far inferior to fists.

Not fast enough, and not enough room to use swings to build up power.

But Luo Wen was able to defuse his own attacks one after another with a long spear, and even tried to counterattack!

No wonder Xiaohe said before, let the old man not take it lightly, after all, he was the emperor of the empire eight hundred years ago!

When Garp thought of this, he suddenly clenched his fists, and the veins on his right arm bulged.

He can indeed use the speed of his hands to disrupt Rowan's defensive rhythm, but that's not what Karp likes.

It's rare to meet such a good opponent, so let me relax!

Garp's attack suddenly slowed down.

But it is not so much "slow", it is better to say that it has become more "heavy".

The right fist, which was completely wrapped in armed domineering, was lifted high by Garp like a heavy hammer at this moment, and then came down with a bang!

Ding!

The "hammer" collided head-on with the spear, and Luo Wen's right hand was instantly numb.

Garp grinned, and continued to raise his right arm, hitting Rowan one after another.

Click!

The domineering collision of the top armed colors caused several black lightnings visible to the naked eye to appear around them!

After Rowan blocked dozens of Karp's attacks, he couldn't hold on to this level of smashing, and his mouth began to hurt.

"Well!"

Rowan subconsciously withdrew his hand, and the rhythm of the movement was interrupted.

It was precisely because of this momentary hesitation that Garp found Rowan's flaw and punched him hard.

Swish!

Rowan could only retract the gun to block it, and use the body of the gun to defend.

But Garp's punch was too heavy, far surpassing any previous blow.

The pitch-black punch hit the body of the gun, and Rowan's arm couldn't support such strength, so he was forced to shrink back, causing the fist and the body of the gun to hit his chest together.

At that moment, Luo Wen only felt that his internal organs were overwhelmed.

It really deserves to be the famous [Iron Fist]...

It's heavy enough!

Luo Wen was hit by this blow, and the whole person flew up in the air, and took a few steps back after landing.

He clutched his chest, took a few breaths, and managed to recover.

The confrontation between the two stopped temporarily.

Because of this scene, the terrifying sandstorm finally dissipated, and the surrounding visibility was restored.

Garp snapped his fingers and made a crackling sound.

He looked at Luo Wen and asked with a smile, "Continue?"

"certainly."

Luo Wen nodded, straightened his body, the scepter was stuck on the ground, and the gravel around him became restless again.

Afterwards, Rowan hooked his fingers towards Garp and smiled, "Come on."

"good!"

Garp uttered a word, and then rushed forward at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The speed of its movement has far surpassed the "shaving" of one of the six naval styles!

Rowan stared hard at his legs, and stepped back. At the same time, he raised his left hand and gave it a firm grip.

More than a dozen gravel soldiers stood up from the ground, holding long guns, and charged Garp.

...

Seeing this situation, Crocodile in the ruins in the distance couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, this kind of ordinary gravel soldiers can't deal with a master of that level at all, right?"

...

as expected.

Garp opened his hands, grabbed the two gravel soldiers in front of him one by one, and easily crushed their heads.

It seems that it really doesn't work...

No!

Rowan's eyeballs rolled, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, judging the situation of the entire battlefield.

While continuing to retreat, the five fingers of his left hand made different gestures one after another.

Immediately, more gravel soldiers stood up, holding gravel spears, and rushed towards Garp again.

Seeing this situation, Garp planned to rush through the gravel soldiers with brute force as before, but then he discovered something was wrong.

I can't hit anyone by myself!

Those gravel soldiers did not stop in front of him, but moved in groups in different formations, attacking him from all directions.

Cap looked obviously surprised.

If he hadn't seen those gravel soldiers made of sand with his own eyes, he would have doubted that those gravel soldiers were real people!

Their movements, postures, marches, and formations are all the same as real soldiers!

And under Luo Wen's control, this incomparably "real" army of gravel broke out with a fighting power far exceeding that of ordinary troops!

They are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of sacrifice.

Even Garp couldn't help but feel troubled when facing such an abnormal army.

How about knocking one down? So what if you knock down a thousand?

More gravel soldiers rose from the ground, making it impossible for Garp to get close to Rowan again, let alone pull him into close combat that was beneficial to him.

The two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

...

Looking at this scene, Crocodile frowned.

Granny He smiled and said, "Young crocodile, you never thought that your fruit ability would be used in this way, right?"

Crocodile snorted, and said gloomyly: "Blindly following others will not be worth the loss. I have my own usage!"

"Haha, stubborn crocodile kid."

Granny He looked at the group of gravel soldiers standing up one after another, and said suddenly:

"Before I came to Alabasta, I checked the information about Ryan Rowan."

"oh?"

Crocodile became interested. After all, historical materials from 800 years ago are extremely scarce. Apart from O'Hara, the former holy land of archaeology, perhaps only the World Government has detailed records.

"One of them left a deep impression on the old man—"

Granny Crane recalled the original text of the historical materials and repeated:

"When the emperor of the empire leads the gravel army to the battlefield, the unfavorable battle situation will be reversed, the powerful enemy will be defeated, and all the existences that stand in his way will be wiped out."

"With his genius strategic vision that day, he brought victories to countless wars."

"Soldiers of the empire, when night falls, there is no need to fear, no need to shrink back..."

"That golden armor will pierce the endless darkness like the dawn of dawn."

He said slowly:

"So eight hundred years ago, Ryan Rowan was nicknamed—【Golden Dawn】."

For the question about the combat effectiveness of the two, readers who don’t like it can read the author’s words at the end of the last chapter.

The conclusion is: the two are playing, relaxing and having fun, there is no need to be serious.

I have always felt that combat power is not a numerical value in the game, but fluctuating. Tactics, mentality, purpose, environment, etc., are all influencing factors.

Crane will give Luo Wen a definition of combat power. Please be patient and say it directly in the author's words. I don't think I am worthy of being an author anymore. Writing a book like that is meaningless.

Just... last night I couldn't sleep over and over again, thinking about it, I'm really sorry...

But ha! The ensuing episode is absolutely brilliant! I had a blast writing it!

Slipped away, the old social animal went to work to fish for code words
