A chill swept towards the port.
Xia Luo stared at the approaching ship nervously with a tense look.
He could already feel that the chill was coming from the pirate ship in front of him.
Without even thinking, Xia Luo knew that there must be a Devil Fruit user on the other side.
Sure enough, after the ship approached the port, a thin and not - very - thick layer of ice suddenly formed on the sea.
"Could it be the [Logia - type Ice - Ice Fruit]!"
Xia Luo guessed silently in his heart.
Calculating the time, the future Admirals Aokiji hadn't eaten the Devil Fruit yet.
Could this pirate captain be the previous user of the [Ice - Ice Fruit]?
If so, it would be troublesome. He didn't know Armament Haki!
As the pirate ship drew closer, the pirates on the ship jumped down one by one, brandishing long knives and muskets.
The last one to jump down was the captain who had blocked Xia Luo's slash before.
The pirate wearing a captain's hat saw a young man with a handsome face and a long sword standing in front of him in the port.
"Kid! Did you send out that slash just now!"
As the pirate captain spoke, there was still a hint of chill at the corner of his mouth.
This made Xia Luo even more cautious.
"Yes, it was me. Pirates are not welcome here!"
Xia Luo stepped forward and said.
After hearing Xia Luo's words, the pirate captain was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Kid, are you joking? Can a little kid like you unleash a swordsman's slash? Are you just waking up?"
After the pirate captain finished speaking, the fifty or sixty pirates around also burst into laughter.
"I'm dying of laughter, Captain. This kid says pirates are not welcome here. We pirates can go wherever we want. It's not up to him to decide!"
Seeing so many pirates laughing at him, Xia Luo wasn't angry.
He waved his hand. A thirty - meter - long sword aura flew towards the pirates who were laughing at him.
Bang!
Those pirates who were laughing at Xia Luo shut up immediately.
Because in a single instant, more than thirty of their companions were killed by a single slash.
Gulp!
Someone swallowed their saliva, which sounded extremely clear in the quiet environment.
"Ship! Captain, he's really a swordsman!"
After seeing the slash Xia Luo unleashed, the remaining pirates hid behind the captain nervously and stared at Xia Luo.
"Damn it! Am I blind!"
The pirate captain also saw the slash Xia Luo unleashed.
He frowned.
The pirate captain, looking at Xia Luo, stepped forward and said, inviting him to join, "Kid, do you want to join our Cold Air Pirates? As long as you join, I'll forgive what you did before. How about it?"
Hearing this suddenly, Xia Luo was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Wowahahahaha! Who the hell do you think you are! How dare you try to recruit me!"
Xia Luo suddenly unleashed his [Conqueror's Haki] and said arrogantly.
An invisible aura exploded from Xia Luo as the center and swept towards the pirates.
"Ugh~!"
Muffled groans came from behind the pirate captain.
The pirate captain looked behind him.
His own pirate crew members had collapsed one after another.
"This! This! This is Conqueror's Haki!"
The pirate captain exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide open.
He never expected that the young man across from him would possess a talent that only appeared once in a million.
This kid was a natural-born king!
Thinking of this, the pirate captain gritted his teeth. Since he had already offended the kid, he couldn't let him go. He didn't believe he couldn't defeat a mere kid.
With that thought in mind, a murderous look flashed in the pirate captain's eyes.
White smoke rose from his fists.
A chill permeated the air.
"Kid, you're asking for death!"
The pirate captain leaped towards Xia Luo.
Xia Luo was very familiar with this starting movement. It was Shave.
This Will Werner, a pirate captain, could actually use Shave, one of the Six Powers of the Navy.
Although surprised, Xia Luo remained calm.
He held his long sword and clashed head-on with the pirate captain.
Clang!
"This is Armament Haki!"
Sparks flew when the long sword collided with the pirate captain's fist.
Xia Luo immediately recognized the layer of black qi covering the opponent's hand.
"Hahaha! Not bad eyes, kid. This is Armament Haki. I'm Will Werner, a pirate with a bounty of 160 million berries. It's your luck to die by my hand."
Will Werner shouted arrogantly.
Xia Luo remained unmoved.
His attention was caught by another thing Will Werner said. Cold?
Was his Devil Fruit not the Ice-Ice Fruit, but the Cold-Cold Fruit?
If it wasn't the Ice-Ice Fruit, then what was he afraid of?
Thinking of this, Xia Luo forced Will Werner back with a sword strike, and then swept his sword horizontally.
A sword aura ten meters long shot towards Will Werner.
Bang!
Will Werner covered his arm with a layer of Armament Haki to block Xia Luo's sword aura, but was still scratched by it.
"Hahaha!"
Xia Luo couldn't help laughing out loud.
He wanted to capture this guy alive and learn the training method for Armament Haki.
Now his physical condition was definitely good enough; he was just lacking Armament Haki.
He still hadn't figured out how to train for Armament Haki, and Will Werner's appearance was just what he needed to fill this gap.
Thinking of this, Xia Luo was extremely excited.
Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki. He only lacked Armament Haki among the three kinds of Haki.
In his excitement, Xia Luo swung his sword repeatedly, unleashing a series of sword auras and pressing Will Werner on the defensive.
He didn't give Will Werner any chance to get close.
The opponent was a Devil Fruit user.
Xia Luo would be a fool to engage in close combat with him.
"Damn it! You damned kid!"
Will Werner was in a complete mess under the onslaught of sword auras.
His Armament Haki hadn't reached the state of full-body coverage, so how could he defend against the overwhelming sword auras?
Soon, he was scratched on the chest by a sword aura.
Will Werner quickly used his Devil Fruit ability to cover his wound.
He froze the bleeding wound.
Xia Luo stopped releasing sword auras. It wasn't because he had exhausted his qi, but because he was afraid that if he continued, Will Werner would die accidentally. Then who would he learn Armament Haki from?
After realizing he was no match for the little kid opposite him, Will Werner was extremely anxious.
He looked back and saw all his crew members lying on the ground. He knew he couldn't escape even if he tried.
For a moment, he was completely desperate.
When he looked at Xia Luo, his eyes were full of despair.
But then, he raised his fists and made a desperate charge at Xia Luo, hoping for a miracle.
Unfortunately, Lady Luck didn't favor him.
Xia Luo easily sliced off his two arms.
Then Xia Luo severed his hamstrings.
"Ah!"
Will Werner let out the most painful roar of his life. Even Xia Luo couldn't help feeling a bit sorry when he heard it.
Xia Luo knew it was because of Observation Haki that he felt sorry for Will.
He shook his head, trying to shake off those emotions in his mind, and stared at his opponent.
Looking at Will Werner, who was now a useless wreck, Xia Luo smiled.
Armament Haki, here I come!
