Above Pirate King - Chapter 88
Shura was a man who had perfected his physical techniques to the pinnacle!
His main attack was the Excalibur, which was his hand-sword technique. With a swift movement of his hand, he could cut through anything in the world, making it the ultimate attack.
Therefore, his regular attacks did not require the burning of Cosmo. With a gentle swing of his arm, he could release a blade-like fist wind with tremendous power.
He unleashed Excalibur and Excalibur Dance, his regular attacks, where he swung his hand to unleash a single slash or numerous slashes.
“Huff.. huff…!”
Shura and Hawkeye stood on two pieces of ship wreckage, panting heavily and sweat dripping down.
They had been fighting for half an hour.
Unlike the battles between others, the fight between the two of them was simple to the extreme—constant offense, continuous attacks, and mutual assaults.
Excalibur strikes clashed with the Black Blade!
“Huhu… Hehe, it’s nice to meet you. You’re the first person I’ve seen who has trained his hand sword strikes to this level!” Mihawk said while panting, smiling.
“Hu-hu… I’m also glad to meet you. Truly worthy of being the most likely to become the world’s greatest swordsman. I acknowledge your swordsmanship!” Shura squeezed out a smile and said, panting.
“Can you tell me your name?” Mihawk asked.
Although he knew Shura was a Gold Saint, there were twelve Gold Saints, and Mihawk couldn’t tell which one Shura was before this!
“Shura, St. Martin Kingdom’s Royal Guard, part of the Saint’s Legion. One of the Twelve Gold Saints, Capricorn Shura!” Shura smiled and said.
“Twelve Gold Saints… Truly a powerful kingdom! I will remember you, Capricorn Shura!” Mihawk pointed his Black Blade at Shura, his fighting spirit soaring.
“I will remember you too, Mihawk!” Shura paused, then changed his tone with a hint of regret and asked, “Are you leaving?”
Although Mihawk seemed full of fighting spirit, Shura could sense the regret in his words!
“Your comrades are strong too! They have already finished their battles, and our battle should come to an end as well. Let’s fight again next time!” Mihawk pointed towards the battlefield behind Shura, nodding with a hint of unfinished excitement.
“Alright, next time, you can directly come to St. Martin Kingdom and find me. We’ll fight again!” Shura said.
“It’s a promise!” Mihawk said seriously, looking at Shura.
“A promise!” Shura nodded solemnly.
After making their agreement, Mihawk directly stepped on his small raft and turned to leave. Watching his departing figure, Shura smiled slightly and then turned back to help others.
Under the Twin Cape Lighthouse.
“Fang of Glory!”
Aldebaran caught Arnold with both hands, adding his own strength, and directly struck Arnold back.
After this attack, Aldebaran sat down directly, covered in sweat.
But a smile appeared on his face because he knew he had won!
Under the other lighthouse in Twin Cape.
“Huff… Huff..!”
Teutonic leaned on his lance, in a disheveled state, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.
Looking at Arnold got sent flying even faster than before, Teutonic keenly felt the extremely dangerous aura above. A bitter smile appeared on his face. He knew he would die here today!
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a deafening roar and a huge shockwave.
Twin Cape could now be renamed Single Cape from today onwards.
Because the lighthouse where Teutonic was located, including the ground it stood on, had all disappeared, leaving only a deep red pit. Twin Cape was left with only one lighthouse!
After a brief pause, the seawater rushed into the pit.
In no time,
The pit was gone, leaving only a vast sea. The bodies of Teutonic and Arnold also floated up!
After finishing his battle, Aldebaran turned his head and glanced at the overall situation.
Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Jorogumo had already run along the rock wall.
And Douko and Shura, together with the Marines, had cleared all the enemies around. This place had returned to a calm state, and the battle came to an end.
Just as Aldebaran was about to leave this place and return to the ship, Crocus said in a deep voice, “Hold on!”
“Huh?” Aldebaran turned around with a puzzled look at Crocus.
“Young man, you broke my lighthouse. You want to leave without compensation?” Crocus stared at Aldebaran, dissatisfied.
“Uh…” Aldebaran was momentarily stunned, then smiled and pulled out a Dial from his pocket, tossing it to Crocus and saying, “Here’s your compensation, old man!”
Crocus casually caught the Dial and looked at it, angrily saying, “Are you kidding me? What’s a conch shell worth?”
Crocus had sailed with Roger and had been to Skypiea, so he knew that Dials might be considered precious in the Blue Sea, but in Skypiea, they were just ordinary things!
“Old man, the Dial itself is worthless, but open it and listen to the music inside!” Aldebaran said with a smile.
“Huh!?” Crocus was a bit puzzled but decided to give it a try. He opened the conch shell and heard a very familiar voice.
“Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!”
“Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!”
“This is… this is…” Crocus’s hands trembled as he looked at Aldebaran with excitement.
“This is the singing voice of Bruce, the commander of our kingdom’s First Army. He’s now a famous musician in the West Blue. Just ask around, and you’ll know!” Aldebaran said with a smile.
“So it’s not…” Crocus said, feeling a bit disappointed.
However, the words West Blue, kingdom, and Bruce reminded him of something.
“I remember now. He’s from the West Blue, right?” Crocus muttered to himself.
Although Crocus spoke in a low voice, Aldebaran still heard his words and explained with a smile, “Brook used to be the captain of our kingdom’s guard unit, and Bruce is his nephew!”
“Oh!” Crocus suddenly realized.
Wait a minute!
No, something’s not right!
Crocus’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Aldebaran with a terrified expression, unable to help but ask, “How do you know about Brook?”
“I also know about you, the ship’s doctor, Crocus!” Aldebaran looked at Crocus with a meaningful gaze and said with a smile.
Thump, thump!
Upon hearing Aldebaran’s words, Crocus’s heart involuntarily raced, his eyes widened, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
“Sir, would you mind giving us an interview?”
“What are your thoughts on the defeated enemies in this battle?”
“Sir, could you please tell us your name?”
…
At that moment, dedicated reporters rushed out from the lighthouse, excitedly surrounding Aldebaran and bombarding him with various questions.
The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.
Aldebaran didn’t refuse the reporters’ inquiries but instead cooperated with them as instructed by Arthur.
After a while, Douko and Shura arrived at the foot of the lighthouse and also gave interviews to the reporters.
The next day.
