13 Chapter 13

Ragna didn't try to talk to him anymore and started running towards him quickly with his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Quick Slash!" Ragna quickly drew his sword and swung it at him.

But when his sword slammed into his body, it felt as if he had hit an iron wall.

Ragna thought, 'Rokushiki? Tekkai technique? Is he a marine or from the government?'

Ragna reacted quickly, hitting him with his other hand, "Brick Fist!"

He was initially unharmed by the sword attack but was pushed back by Ragna's Fish-Man Karate technique. Also, it was obvious from the expression on his face that he was hurt.

"Since you can use Rokushiki, that makes your chances of being a bounty hunter very low." Ragna said, putting his sword back in its sheath, then added, "I'll give you another chance to speak."

Ragna wanted to mess with him a little more and get information from his mouth. He should have known why he was being followed.

But instead of answering, he began to prepare for the next attack, obviously having no intention of making any moves to attack.

Ragna leaped forward once more and punched towards him, "Arabesque Brick Fist!"

Unlike before, this time Ragna's fist didn't hit him, but he still lost his balance and was thrown backwards.

After Ragna broke his Tekkai, he quickly kicked him in the chest, "Brick Roundhouse Kick!"

He fell to the ground coughing up blood from the blow. Ragna quickly grabbed him by the throat so he wouldn't run away.

"Tell me, why were you after me?" Ragna asked as he tightened his grip.

But before he could get the answer, he felt something dangerous, so he jumped back quickly. At that moment, an attack came to the place where he had just been.

Ragna looked at the person a little far away from them and thought, 'He can wield Rankyaku. Frankly, I think they're both from the World Government. Why would marines care so much about secrecy?'

"Why didn't you fight him?" He said after the person in the distance quickly appeared next to his friend. This was Question, another Rokushiki technique.

"Wasn't it forbidden to kill him?" The one who had been battered by Ragna earlier said as he got up from the ground.

"Killing is forbidden, but you don't think he'll easily come with us, right? It's not that important if we do some damage while catching him." He said and also thought to himself, 'Why do I have such a stupid partner?'

Ragna scrutinized the newcomer lightly, seemingly much smarter and stronger than the other.

Ragna thought, 'They are forbidden to kill me? Well, that's a big tip. Instead of fighting them, I need to get out of here quickly. It doesn't make sense right now for me to put myself in danger.'

Ragna lifted his foot in the air and then slammed the ground, "Tremor Kick!"

When Ragna hit the ground, the ground suddenly began to shake and crumble. The newcomer jumped to the side and escaped through the cracks, while the other stood in place while using Tekkai again.

But as the ground shook, his body also moved involuntarily, so he was buried in the crack.

"Stupid! How many times have I told you not to use Tekkai against every move! Just dodge them!" He said while slapping the head of his friend who was stuck on the ground.

He said as he come out of the ground, "Okay, I'll be more careful next time."

When they turned, there was no one in front of them because Ragna had used that opportunity to quickly get away from there.

"He's escaped! We need to catch him before he gets to his crew!" He said, and then they both started chasing Ragna.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the port, they noticed the ship that had left some time ago.

"Damn, he ran away. Anyway, our main goal wasn't to catch him. Let's report the information we get." He said.

At that time, Ragna and Fisher Tiger were talking on the ship.

"Why were you running?" Fisher Tiger asked curiously. Because Ragna had come running towards them and told them that they had to set sail quickly. Since they were already getting ready to leave, they were pretty quick.

"I saw the marines. They were about to raid us." Ragna said.

Hearing what he was saying from afar, Arlong laughed sarcastically, "Hahaha! Ragna, when did you become afraid of the marines!?"

When hearing this, the rest of the crew laughed, too. While ignoring them, Ragna whispered to Fisher Tiger, "Can we talk privately?"

After Fisher Tiger nodded, they both went to a place where they could talk privately.

"There's more to it than what you're saying, right? Tell me, I'm listening." Fisher Tiger said.

"Two people were watching me and I think they were from the World Government. They're probably wondering who I am." Ragna said.

"I see, so we were finally noticed." Fisher Tiger said.

"I don't think they're sure who I am yet. Because those who followed me were not that strong." Ragna said.

"But that doesn't change what they will eventually learn. We have to be prepared." Fisher Tiger said.

"Yeah, that's why I want to leave the crew before it's too late." Ragna said.

Fisher Tiger frowned upon hearing this and said, "What? Are you sure about that? You know I will fight to the end for you. After all, I owe you my life."

"This debt has already been repaid a long time ago. The people I met this time were not very strong, but what about the later ones? They will do their best to get me back. Do you think we can stand up to a few admirals?" Ragna said.

Fisher Tiger thought for a while looking out to sea, knowing that his crew wouldn't be able to withstand them.

Ragna put his hand on Fisher Tiger's shoulder and said, "I already told you that I will not stay in the crew forever. You don't want to take revenge on them, but I want."
