"Jack is late, but I'm glad you're here."
Umit looked at the information in his hand and sighed.
The coastline of Dragon Kingdom was unusually calm at night.
After stepping on the beach, there was a dense forest.
The sky screen video was fixed, making it difficult to catch the criminals who had sneaked into Dragon Country.
"Dragon Kingdom is careless. They were attacked by pirates two days ago, and now there are no guards on the coastline."
MR.1 looked around and said disappointedly, "I thought the mainland of Dragon Country would be more dangerous, but it's so peaceful! I can even see other pirates and people from all sides. We could easily sneak into the country in a small boat. Once we're inside, it'll be hard for them to find us."
Crocodile wasn't surprised.
"The Dragon Kingdom is big, so it's impossible to guard every place. Let's keep going and ask someone where the palace is."
"I hope the king of Dragon Country is more interesting!" On another coastline, some masked people also landed.
"Colonel Smoker, isn't this trespassing?" Tashigi said nervously in the dark.
"We're just here to investigate," Smoker said. "I don't want pirates to ruin this good country. We'll report to the king."
Yeah, but there's another thing Smoker hasn't told yet. The real purpose. To collect as much information as possible about the mainland of Dragon Kingdom!
"There's a fire ahead. There must be people there. We can contact them as Marines and ask for information. Let's go check it out."
Following Tashigi, we went to the place where the light was shining.
"This is amazing!"
"This is not where you should be"
A white-haired figure stood on the treetop, looking down at them under the moonlight.
Her eyes were cold and indifferent, and there was a hint of killing intent in them.
They were invaders.
"Boss Bai!" Smoker and Tashigi recognized him. But his next words scared them shitless!
"I want to tell you everything, but some things are too sensitive. I can only ask you to forget about it."
Boss Bai drew out his sword, the blade was cold and deadly.
"Hold on, we're here to report."
Boss Bai attacked quickly and Smoker was surprised by her strength.
He tried to block her attack but was blown away.
Boss Bai followed up with another attack and Smoker was cut.
"What the heck? This isn't seastone or Haki! How is she hurting me?!" Smoker was baffled.
Boss Bai didn't care that Smoker was a Logia user.
Long Guo had studied Logia users and their abilities thoroughly.
Boss Bai's swordsmanship was fierce, tricky, and beautiful, but also deadly.
Smoker was soon overwhelmed.
"She's a scientist, and she doesn't use Haki or seastone, but she can still hurt Smoker. Could it be that they've figured out the secret of Devil Fruits?"
Tashigi was about to join the battle when a giant cat appeared behind her and hit her with its paw.
She was knocked unconscious instantly.
"Tashigi!! What the heck is that cat?!" Smoker stared at the big, harmless cat in horror.
Tashigi is strong, but she was still knocked out by a cat.
This Dragon Kingdom is terrifying.
Even cats are strong here!
"You can call it a fully evolved Cloud Devouring Beast," Boss Bai said proudly.
"Cloud Devouring Beast?" I've never heard of that before!
Smoker is no match for Boss Bai.
Boss Bai is in control of the situation.
Crocodile and Mr. 1 are not far away.
There are footsteps and the sound of wooden sticks hitting branches.
Crocodile's face darkened when he heard someone coming.
He wondered if he had been discovered.
But it sounded like there was only one person, so maybe it was just a chance encounter.
"It's a blind guy!" MR. 1 said when the visitor got closer.
He's a blind old man who looks like he's been through a lot.
He's carrying a wooden staff to help him walk.
It's weird that a blind man would be wandering in the jungle by himself.
Crocodile can sense a powerful presence, and his face freezes in suspicion.
"I don't want to fight you guys. Please leave."
The blind man stopped a few meters away from them.
The two of them immediately realized that he was aiming at them.
"Looks like we've been found out! Old man, go to sleep now!"
As MR. 1 said, he turned his hands into sharp blades and charged over. They wanted to finish him off quickly before he could yell and attract too many guards. They weren't afraid of the guards, but they didn't want to draw attention to the others.
"MR. 1, wait a minute..." Crocodile's senses were tingling.
"There's a pirate's aura on you. You two don't seem like good people. This changes things."
With a smile, he swung his sword and slashed through the stick knife, which was surrounded by purple gravity.
"Gravity Knife. Tiger!!"
The sword roared like a tiger, and the terrifying gravity rushed towards MR. 1.
It felt like a tsunami crashing down on him.
He felt a sense of despair, oppression, and suffocation that he had never felt before.
By the time he realized how powerful his opponent was, it was already too late.
The swordsman's nemesis, the quick slasher, cut through his proud metal body in a flash.
Crocodile's eyes widened in shock.
