Confrontation

In the face of Cracker's inquiry, Vlad did not hesitate at all. He smiled very naturally and said, "Of course, Brother Cracker, although I have left the Charlotte Family, the affection between us is not so easy to cut off. Even if the existence of family is not together, they will still be connected."

"Is that so? Do you think so?"

Cracker whispered.

"That's right, brother. There is no doubt about this. Leaving Cake Island and continuing to treat you as family is not a contradictory thing!"

Vlad replied with a smile.

"Rolls - Pretzels!"

Cracker roared. The long sword in his hand suddenly spun, and a spiral sword aura attached to it. The tall biscuit armor held a long sword that was now similar to a knight's spear in his hand and stabbed fiercely at Vlad.

"Eh?"

Do you want to fight?

Vlad was a little helpless. He knew his brother too well. He was definitely one of the top few in the Big Mom pirate group. He was actually a man among the three star generals.

He was very confident in his own strength and liked to move alone. This attack was probably just a temporary idea. Maybe it was because he saw it when he fought against Tesoro.

It just so happened that Cracker was the kind of man who hated betrayal. He was very loyal to Big mom, so it was not strange that he would come to cause trouble for Vlad.

"Since you also treat us as your family, then why did you betray us!"

The huge spiral sword was already approaching him with a sharp sword aura. The tall, tall biscuit armor roared angrily.

"Armed!"

Vlad grunted as his right hand was wrapped in a layer of pitch black Haki.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Vlad's powerful punch landed directly on the sharp tip of the sword of Cracker, and a surging wave of air surged out, sweeping through the surrounding wasteland like a gust of wind. For a moment, dust flew up.

"Vlad!"

Cracker took two steps back under the huge impact, and then raised his sword again. A dark color spread out, and the whole sword was completely in the state of being hardened by the Busoshoku.

"Swoosh!"

Cracker did not show any intention of holding back, and fiercely slashed at Vlad's head.

"Since you chose to betray me, then you should be prepared to receive your punishment!"

"Betray?"

Fiery red scales spread across his body. Vlad's black eyes began to turn golden, and his pupils became long and narrow.

"You are wrong! Brother Cracker!"

The golden flames soared into the sky and began to spread on the island.

"I have never thought of myself as a member of the Ten Thousand Nations. It can't be called betrayal!"

The right arm covered with hard scales burst out with an unparalleled momentum under the enhancement of Busoshoku.

"Clang!"

A dull explosion resounded in the surroundings. Cracker that was covered by the tall biscuit armor was sent flying by Vlad's heavy punch. He took a few steps back and stood not far away.

"Brother Cracker, don't misunderstand. I treat you as my brothers and sisters. There is no doubt about it."

The height of Vlad's transformed body was not inferior to Cracker's biscuit armor at all. He shook his head and said with slight disdain, "This is because you also treat me as your brother. But, but, Brother Cracker, that crazy woman is not among them!"

"Vlad!"

When Cracker heard Vlad's words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Although Big mom, Charlotte Linlin, was a complete lunatic, it was strange that her reputation in the Charlotte Family was incomparable.

Even if there were many children who died in her hands, the rest of the children were still very respectful to her.

Perhaps this was the characteristic of the world of One Piece. The strong were respected, because that crazy woman had terrifying power that no one could compare to, so everyone respected her.

Cracker was undoubtedly one of the people who supported Charlotte Lingling the most. When he heard Vlad's words, the anger in his heart rose.

"It's best to show some respect to my mother! Little bastard!"

"Pfft!"

With a light sound, a pair of arms suddenly grew out of Cracker's body, each holding a long sword.

"Double-roll-pretzel!"

Two long swords with powerful Busoshoku stabbed at Vlad.

"I told you before, i never regarded her as a mother!"

Vlad flapped his wings slightly and his huge body suddenly became like a phantom. He instantly shifted his position and dodged the two long swords of Cracker.

"Damn it!"

Cracker's pupils shrank. "Such a huge body actually has such an extraordinary speed? It's really amazing, the Fire Dragon Fruit!"

Vlad approached Cracker's body, the muscles on his right hand that were ready to attack were bulging, and the pitch-black dominance and the golden flames were in stark contrast.

"Great Dragon Fist - Dragon King's Claw!"

Vlad's right hand carried the momentum of wind and thunder as it heavily smashed into the chest of Cracker's Biscuit Armor.

"Hard biscuits!"

Cracker was not a weakling either. Seeing Vlad's attack arrive in an instant, the Busoshoku Haki quickly attached to it. The biscuit armor on his chest instantly covered with a layer of pitch black Haki.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Cracker's tall biscuit armor flew far away.

"Crack! Crack!"

A clear shattering sound echoed in Vlad's ears. He could not help but feel helpless. Cracker's biscuit armor was a little too hard.

"Absurd..."

Cracker stopped his body and looked up. There was no expression on his stiff face. The huge cracks on the armor on his chest were spreading wantonly. "We haven't seen each other for only a few months. Has his strength reached this level?"

"At this level?"

Vlad frowned slightly. "What are you talking about? Brother Cracker, I only warmed up a little. It's too early to say that my strength has reached this level!"

"Oh?"

Cracker smiled. "Vlad, after leaving the family, you are far from being as humble as before!"

"Because it is no longer necessary,"

Vlad smiled. "Since I left my family, my adventure has already begun. Since it is already my own story, there is no point in hiding it. What I want is the most magnificent adventure, not a peaceful and stable trip."

"You are still as good as ever! Vlad!"

Cracker said gloomily, "I just don't know if your fist is as powerful as you say!"

Go ahead and try!

Vlad laughed heartily.

"Cookie Soldier!"
