Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Hedging

"Hello! Is this Admiral Kong? This is Vice - Admiral Wells! I've noticed something strange here. Big - time pirate Xia Luo has now met an unknown pirate.

That pirate is the Red Count Patrick Redfield. He has gained fame in the first half of the Grand Line in recent years! Now the two pirates are heading towards an uninhabited island. We don't know what kind of plot they have for now!"

Admiral Kong was dealing with documents with Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Tsuru. He opened the Den Den Mushi and frowned slightly after hearing the news from the vice - admiral who was monitoring Xia Luo.

Then he looked at Admiral Tsuru.

Admiral Tsuru also heard everything clearly.

"The Red Count?"

Tsuru frowned slightly and then took out a wanted poster from a file bag.

It was the wanted poster of the Red Count.

"Eleven million berries! What does it mean for Xia Luo to meet him?"

Admiral Kong took the wanted poster of the so - called Red Count and asked in confusion.

Admirals Sengoku and Tsuru also slightly shook their heads.

"Vice - Admiral Wells, continue to monitor and make sure to keep yourself safe."

Admiral Kong said to Vice - Admiral Wells on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Wells, who was also sitting on the ship named Bru, gave a bitter smile.

"Admiral Kong, I think I've been exposed, but those two pirates haven't shown any reaction at all."

Wells' voice, full of a bitter smile, came through the Den Den Mushi to Admiral Kong's ears.

Admiral Kong was slightly stunned after hearing that.

Discovered?

"When were you discovered?"

Admiral Kong subconsciously asked.

"Just now! It was the Red Count in a purple - red suit who discovered me, but it seems they don't want to bother with me!"

Wells reported.

"Alright! Then keep your distance and observe. Retreat immediately if you're in danger! I'll keep in touch with you all the time."

Admiral Kong said.

"Yes!"

Wells replied.

After the Bru docked, Xia Luo and the Red Count jumped onto the deserted island at the same time.

Xia Luo looked around to see if there was anyone.

Seeing this, the Red Count looked at Xia Luo with great interest.

"Would a big - time pirate with a bounty of 950 million berries actually care if there are civilians on the island?"

After hearing that, Xia Luo slightly scratched the back of his head, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Haha! You can't say that. I never kill civilians on purpose. It goes against my moral code!"

Xia Luo looked at the Red Count and said.

"Oh! Then may I ask what your moral code is?"

The Red Count couldn't sense Xia Luo's thoughts, which made him a bit uncomfortable and curious.

"My moral code?"

Xia Luo smacked his lips.

"My moral code is: if others don't provoke me, I won't provoke them. If they do, I'll retaliate a hundredfold! That's my moral code!"

Xia Luo looked at the Red Count and said.

The Red Count was slightly stunned after hearing Xia Luo's words.

Xia Luo's moral code was a bit unexpected to him.

But he wouldn't say anything.

"Really? That's pretty awesome!"

The Red Count complimented.

Because he found that Xia Luo's sense of morality was very similar to his, but he (the Red Count) was even more callous. For example, unlike Xia Luo, he wouldn't bother to check if there were civilians on the island.

"Alright, let's end this chat and start the fight!"

As the Red Count said, he pointed his umbrella at Xia Luo.

"Hahaha! Alright! Let's fight then!"

Xia Luo also drew his long sword, and then an earth - shattering qi shot up into the sky.

The Conqueror's Haki rushed towards the Red Count like a flood of wild beasts.

Feeling the purity of this Conqueror's Haki, the Red Count couldn't help but exclaim in admiration again.

"Damn! What an amazing qi! But mine is no worse!"

The Red Count planted his umbrella on the ground, his eyes fixed, and he also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, showing Xia Luo his own spirit.

"That's pretty awesome!"

Xia Luo exclaimed when he saw that the Red Count's Conqueror's Haki was evenly matched with his.

And the rear - admiral who had been monitoring on the sea was shocked by this wave of Conqueror's Haki.

"Co - Conqueror's Haki!"

Wells blurted out in a shocked voice!

On the other end of the [Den Den Mushi], [Admirals] Steel - Bone Kong also heard Wells' shock!

"Hey! Wells, what's going on there? What Conqueror's Haki?"

Steel - Bone Kong asked anxiously.

Hearing the voice from the [Den Den Mushi], Wells quickly snatched it up.

"[Admirals] Steel - Bone Kong, the [pirates] Xia Luo and the Red Count are fighting on the deserted island ahead. They both released Conqueror's Haki! And the sky has split!"

Wells reported rapidly.

When those in the Navy Headquarters heard what Rear - Admiral Wells said, they were initially stunned and then couldn't believe their ears.

Upon hearing that the sky had split, those in the Navy Headquarters stared at the [Den Den Mushi] in disbelief.

You know, those who can change the sky with Conqueror's Haki are all highly accomplished in Conqueror's Haki.

And such people are extremely powerful.

How could it appear in a small [pirate] with a [bounty] of 11 million [berries]?

"Rear - Admiral Wells, are you sure what you said is correct?"

Steel - Bone Kong asked again.

Wells, looking at the sky, subconsciously replied "Yes".

Because the scene in front of him was extremely spectacular. The sky was split asunder, and the surrounding seawater churned violently under the impact of this Conqueror's Haki.

After hearing Rear - Admiral Wells' confirmation, Steel - Bone Kong still couldn't quite believe it.

Then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have told Wells to bring a video [Den Den Mushi] when monitoring.

"Rear - Admiral Wells, quickly turn on the video [Den Den Mushi] and point the camera in the direction of the fight!"

Steel - Bone Kong roared!

Hearing what Steel - Bone Kong said, Sengoku and Tsuru's eyes lit up. They also thought of this method.

Since they couldn't believe it, they would see it with their own eyes.

After hearing Steel - Bone Kong's words, Rear - Admiral Wells didn't dare to delay. He took out another [Den Den Mushi] from his bosom, which was the video [Den Den Mushi].

Wells turned on the video [Den Den Mushi].

Meanwhile, Steel Frame Kong sat in the Admirals' office, watching the scene together with Sengoku and Tsuru.

The moment the picture appeared, everyone held their breath.

Have to say, Wells found a really good angle for the recording.

It not only captured Xia Luo confronting the Red Count, but also the sky's changes.

Xia Luo held a sword in his hand, the tip pointing at the ground.

The Red Count leaned on his umbrella with both hands, standing ten meters in front of Xia Luo.

Both sides stood still, but their Conqueror's Haki was surging crazily.

Xia Luo's dark-red Conqueror's Haki contrasted sharply with the purple-red Conqueror's Haki of the Red Count!

"It's a draw! Where on earth did this Red Count come from!" Sengoku exclaimed in shock at the clash of their Conqueror's Haki. As a Conqueror's Haki possessor himself, he knew it wasn't easy to achieve such a scene.
