I Will Become Hokage in One Piece - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Battle Against Wald

Wald didn’t leave because he was afraid of Rodney. In his view, Rodney’s strength was just average, and as long as he had enough time, he could defeat this kid. However, with Rayleigh by his side, the variables were too great. As an old-timer who had survived from his era to the present, Wald had to admit that Rayleigh was very strong, even though he was getting old. He wasn’t someone easy to deal with.

With such a variable beside him, he had to retreat. So, retreating at this moment was the best choice!

Using Moonwalk, he immediately ascended into the sky. Suddenly, Benjamin, on his shoulder, shouted, “Wald, move quickly!”

Wald turned to look and saw a dragon-shaped fireball flying towards him.

“Moku Moku no Tenfold Speed!”

Holding Benjamin tightly on his shoulder, he increased his speed, evading Rodney’s attack. His speed became even faster. Meanwhile, Rodney hastily left after exchanging a glance with Rayleigh.

Also using Moonwalk and turning into a streak of lightning, Rayleigh chased after Wald.

“Raiton: Kuroban Chai!”

A black thunder leopard dashed out, surging through the air. Wald, carrying Benjamin, had to dodge in the air. In the distance, several figures from Benjamin’s dream team, the Dreameater, were aboard their ship, the Gulosiadi, not far away.

Wald landed on the ship, placed his brother on board, and immediately soared into the sky, engaging in a mid-air battle with Rodney using Moonwalk.

“Kid, you want to defeat me? You’re still a bit too green!” Wald’s powerful fist struck towards Rodney, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest to block. However, there was no point of contact, and he was directly sent into the water.

At that moment, Benjamin suddenly yelled, “Wald! He’s not afraid of water!”

What? There was someone with an ability that made them immune to water?!

Wald thought his brother was joking, but in the next moment, he fell silent. A barely audible low shout echoed, “Suiton: Suijin Yabu!”

He noticed that a whirlpool appeared beneath him, followed by countless surging water streams rushing upward. He barely evaded them and was about to escape the vortex’s range when he looked up. Above him, a giant water dragon with gaping jaws formed from the rising water and stared at him angrily. Then, it opened its massive mouth and swallowed him!

“Moku Moku no Fiftyfold Speed!”

While he still had some strength left in his body, Wald rushed out of the water dragon’s attack range. On the water’s surface, Rodney was in control!

“Suiton: Daikaitendan no Jutsu!”

On the sea surface, a water shark the size of a pirate ship burst out of the water and once again bit at Wald.

This time, Wald didn’t dare to stay and landed on the Gulosiadi. With a stern face, he asked, “What’s going on with this guy?”

Benjamin immediately explained, “Rumors say he has the Superhuman-type Chakra Fruit ability. The energy produced by this fruit can do many things, like controlling water and fire. He can also use Chakra to swim underwater.”

Wald exclaimed, “What kind of disgusting ability is that?” He was truly disgusted by this.

Suddenly, whirlpools appeared around his body, and for a moment, he paused. Just then, a figure shot out, forming a water spear on his arm. Rodney was coming!

“Suiton: Kawagake Suiben!”

Rodney’s powerful attack struck Wald’s chest, and the high-density Chakra cluster destroyed the surface of Wald’s body. The pain was so intense that he almost couldn’t hold back a scream, but he managed to endure it.

He grabbed Rodney’s hand, blood dripping from his mouth, and gave a sinister smile. “Kid, don’t underestimate me!”

This man known as the “World Destroyer” was not going to give up easily! He would make this generation of people see true terror.

However, Rodney wasn’t going to give him that chance. He coldly snorted, “Old man, just go and die. Roger’s era has already ended, let alone someone like you. Reiryoku Baku!”

The immensely powerful blow hit Wald’s chest, and his speed was so great that Wald couldn’t even use Haki to defend himself. He was sent flying again, landing in the ruins.

At that moment, a tall figure flew out and swung a huge hammer towards Rodney.

Rodney raised his arm, intercepting the spiky hammer, and in front of him stood a Fish-Man wearing sunglasses with a fish-shaped hairstyle.

Wald’s pirate crew officer, Sebastian.

“Did you come to help?” Rodney smiled and said, “You guys who abandoned your captain before, are you coming back to save your captain now? Hehehe, I thought you would escape like you did thirty years ago.”

Sebastian’s forehead veins bulged, and his ugly face was filled with anger. Their abandonment of their captain was the mistake of their lives, and they had regretted it for thirty years. These words were like stepping into a minefield, and he roared, “What do you know?”

The big hammer came down once again but was cut in half by a bolt of lightning. Rodney smiled and said, “I don’t know because I’ve never been betrayed by my comrades. Hehehe, a bunch of fools manipulated by the World Government. Katon: Karyu Enran!”

The flames rushed forward, and Sebastian, who had lost his weapon, didn’t dodge. Because behind him was their captain, and they had escaped once before, but they would absolutely not escape again this time!

With his back to the flames, his entire back was covered in Armament Haki, shielding his captain from the flames. Even if his back was burnt, it was a small price to pay.

“Ah…!”

A piercing scream rang out. At that moment, the floor under Rodney’s feet disappeared, turning into a cube and falling. But fortunately, his reaction was quick, and with Moonwalk, he levitated, stepping on the ceiling to look down.

A man wielding a square hammer walked out, looking like a plumber. His hairstyle was square-shaped with two horns, much like a cube. He had a red, wine-stained nose, and under his nose, it wasn’t clear if it was a beard or nose hair. He wore a blue and white striped shirt and overalls.

Wald’s pirate crew officer, Guyram, a user of the Cube-Cube Fruit.

Beside Guyram was an old lady with reading glasses, hunched over in a white coat, trembling as if she might pass away any moment.

Wald’s pirate crew’s doctor, Neken!
