"I'm the Great Pirate, Great Cleaver Cook, with a bounty of thirty-nine million. Old man, if you know what's good for you, scram now, and I might spare your life."
Seeing that his hundred-odd subordinates were actually intimidated by an old man, Cook immediately pointed his great cleaver at Louis and cursed.
The New World is currently in utter chaos, with the most powerful Pirate being Rocks. This era is also known as the Rocks era.
Therefore, a bounty of thirty-nine million at this time is roughly equivalent to a hundred million bounty forty years later!
"Master, let me handle them."
At this moment, Nox no longer hid behind. He wanted to fight, wanted to kill, and wanted to verify the results of his two years of effort through slaughter.
"Alright, go ahead."
Seeing the fervor in Nox's eyes, Louis no longer stopped him. He had always seen Nox's rapid progress in strength and was very pleased.
He also wanted to see what level Nox's strength had reached.
"Kid, you want to challenge me too?"
"Lads, kill that kid for me!"
Great Cleaver Cook saw that any random youngster dared to provoke him. Enraged, he directly ordered his subordinates to deal with it. Such a kid wasn't worth him making a move.
"Kill!"
"Kid, die!"
"You dare to provoke our boss, you deserve to die."...
Those timid Pirates didn't dare to face the powerful Louis, but they were very happy to deal with a kid like Nox.
Over a hundred Pirates rushed towards Nox with their swords, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Infinity Sword Drawing Technique"
Facing the hundred-odd charging Pirates, Nox calmly placed his hand on the sword hilt, his gaze stern as he looked ahead.
"Clang!!!!!!!"
As a crisp sword cry sounded, a dazzling white sword light burst forth from the sword.
"Swish swish swish swish swish!!!"
The white sword light flew five meters, instantly slicing through the throats of the five Pirates closest to Nox.
Immediately, blood gushed out. The five men covered their throats in extreme panic, but not only did they fail to stop the bleeding, the blood gushed out even faster.
Nox's sword light instantly killed five people, causing those Pirates to feel some fear.
They never expected this harmless-looking kid to have such strong Swordsmanship, capable of unleashing a sword light that only a Swordsman who has reached the "Iron Cutting" level can emit!
"Kill!!!"
But before all those Pirates could react, Nox had already rushed into the group of over a hundred Pirates with his sword.
Now, he craved slaughter!
"Kid, die for me! We don't just play with swords!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
Over a dozen Pirates saw Nox charging towards them and immediately took out their flintlock guns to fire at him.
"Bullets are useless against me."
However, Nox, possessing Kenbunshoku Haki, saw the trajectory of the bullets at a glance. He shifted his body, dodging most of the bullets, and his sword drew two flourishes, blocking the remaining bullets.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
After dodging all the bullets, he instantly accelerated with a sword step, rushing into the group of over a hundred Pirates. He swung his sword in an orderly manner, quickly harvesting the lives of this group of Pirates.
For a time, the Pirates near Nox fell one after another, each dying a gruesome death. Broken limbs flew everywhere, blood splattered across the ground, and screams were incessant.
"Kill!!!"
For two years, Nox had been constantly pushing himself to become stronger and stronger. The pressure that had accumulated over time was perfectly released at this moment.
This made him extremely excited and felt incredibly exhilarating.
As he slaughtered, the iron sword in his hand had been dyed blood-red.
His somewhat unstable strength was constantly solidifying, and his aura became stronger as more lives died by his hand. The invisible killing intent made the surviving Pirates tremble with fear.
Although Nox appeared very crazy and bloodthirsty on the surface, in reality, he was calmly enjoying the slaughter in his heart.
"Indeed, combat is the fastest shortcut to growth."
As he continued to kill, Nox found that his understanding of Swordsmanship had improved further.
His control over his strength had become better, and he felt that his Swordsmanship had improved again!
"Damn kid!"
Cook watched his subordinates suffer heavy casualties. In just a short while, less than half of their original number remained.
This was his accumulation over two years, and it was destroyed by this kid in an instant!
Nox didn't care about Cook's thoughts. He found that as he continued to slaughter, the original pressure in his heart gradually dissipated.
At the same time, it seemed something within him had finished gestating and wanted to break free.
"Come out for me!"
Nox roared, and instantly, a vast aura erupted from his body.
With him as the center, it spread out like the eye of a storm, wantonly expanding in all directions. The Pirates in front of him were intimidated by this aura, instantly lost consciousness, and fell unconscious one after another.
And the residents of the small island several hundred meters away from the port, after being intimidated by this aura, all fainted on the ground.
Even Great Cleaver Cook was now forced to his knees by the aura that Nox unleashed.
His eyes bulged, and he tightly gripped his great cleaver with both hands, struggling to support his body and prevent himself from fainting.
"How is this possible? How could this kid possess Haoshoku Haki? That's the symbol of a king!"
Cook stared intently at Nox. As a Pirate of the New World, how could he not recognize Haoshoku Haki.
He had once felt the Haoshoku Haki of that Great Pirate from afar, that powerful Haoshoku.
It could scatter all the dark clouds in the sky, and even though he was more than ten kilometers away from that Great Pirate, he was still knocked unconscious.
"So, you possess the potential of a king!"
Among the people present, the only two who didn't fall were Nox's master, Louis.
Looking at Nox unconsciously releasing Haoshoku Haki, he finally understood why Nox's progress was so fast. If he possessed the potential of a king, then all of this was nothing.
After all, as a king, which one is ordinary, and which one isn't a monster?
When all the pressure in Nox's heart completely receded, and he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation in both body and mind.
His Haoshoku Haki reached a higher level, with a hint of red lightning mixed in the invisible aura.
At this moment, Haoshoku Haki reached Nox's current peak. Even Cook had to bite his tongue to keep himself from fainting.
"Hahahaha, exhilarating, so exhilarating!"
After venting all the accumulated pressure in his heart, Nox's Haoshoku Haki also disappeared.
"Who exactly are you?"
With the disappearance of Haoshoku Haki, Cook finally stood up and looked at Nox with a solemn expression, asking.
Now, he no longer dared to underestimate the kid in front of him. After all, the shock effect brought by Haoshoku Haki was too powerful
