Chapter 175: A New World

Extra Chapter~

In the East Blue, at a floating restaurant on the sea.

The crowd watched in shock as a pirate ship was split in half. The once-mighty vessel now seemed tiny compared to the damage done.

"What happened?"

"Hey! The Krieg Pirates' ship has been sliced in half!"

"What?!"

"Are you serious?!"

"Is that person even human, to cut a ship like that?!"

Zoro gazed with excitement at the man sitting on a small boat resembling a coffin lid.

"Hey, Zoro! What are you doing?!"

Luffy shouted.

"Don't stop me, Luffy. This is exactly what I'm after."

At this moment, Zoro had already tied his bandana and was slowly approaching Mihawk, his swords in hand.

"Did you use that sword to cut the ship?"

"Indeed," Mihawk confirmed.

Facing the appearance of Zoro, Mihawk showed no sign of concern.

In the weakest sea, East Blue, even renowned swordsmen were pitiably weak.

"I set sail for you."

"Let's have a duel!"

Mihawk's sharp eyes looked coldly at Zoro. "For what?"

"To be the strongest!"

Zoro's intense gaze met Mihawk's.

Mihawk smirked disdainfully. "A pitiable weakling."

"The courage to challenge me is due to your ignorance."

"A frog in a well, unaware of the vast world."

Zoro's fighting spirit remained undiminished. He bit down on his sword and declared.

"If I'm a frog in a well, then show me the power of the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Foolish."

Mihawk drew a small knife from around his neck.

Seeing this, Zoro became enraged. "What do you mean by this?"

Mihawk sneered. "Unfortunately, I don't have a smaller knife."

"Don't underestimate people. Don't regret it when you die!"

Zoro leaped towards Mihawk, striking with his Oni Giri technique.

"Oni Giri!"

Zoro's signature move had never failed since he set out to sea.

"Clang—"

A crisp sound rang out, and Zoro's eyes contracted as he felt a suffocating pressure.

"It was blocked!"

"I can't move at all!"

"What did he do?!"

A mere small knife blocked the Oni Giri. Such a technique couldn't possibly be seen through by anyone.

The disparity in the world couldn't be this vast—how could such an absurd thing happen!

Zoro continued his fierce attacks on Mihawk, but every strike was effortlessly deflected by Mihawk's small knife.

"Zoro!"

Yosaku and Johnny were sweating nervously, their fists clenched tightly.

Watching Zoro's attacks be neutralized again and again made their hearts churn.

Eventually, Zoro fell to Mihawk, but just then, the space around them suddenly twisted.

Mihawk's Observation Haki detected the spatial distortion, and he looked up at the twisting space.

A curtain of light slowly appeared, forming a portal. Everyone at the floating restaurant stared in disbelief.

"What's happening?!"

Someone screamed in horror.

Mihawk's brow furrowed. Even he couldn't understand what was going on.

A Devil Fruit user? It didn't look like it. If it was a Devil Fruit ability, what kind of power was it?

"Boom—!"

The portal exploded, and two figures appeared bathed in the light.

As they hovered in the air, Mihawk's eyes constricted.

They could stay in the air?

Was it some kind of ability like the Float-Float Fruit?

No, it didn't seem quite right.

"Ryujiro-kun, where is this?!"

Hinata looked around in shock at the unfamiliar environment.

When she looked down and saw Mihawk, her expression changed.

"Ryujiro-kun is not...?"

"No, he's not Mihawk. Although he looks like the Mihawk you know, he's not the same Mihawk you're familiar with."

Is that so? This world seems quite different from the shinobi world.

There appears to be very little land, with most of it covered by the sea.

The ruins below indicate something significant happened here.

"Hey, who are you?!"

"How dare you be on top of me! Get down here at once!"

Krieg, who had not yet been killed, shouted from below. As the Ruler of East Blue, he had been trampled twice.

But these two flying Devil Fruit users were nothing special.

Even if he couldn't defeat that man, he could still take out his frustration on these two brash kids.

As long as they dared to come down...

Krieg's eyes flashed with a fierce glint.

At that moment, Ryujiro casually glanced at Krieg.

The next second, Krieg's body trembled violently, his eyes going blank.

"Boom—!"

Before everyone's eyes, Krieg's body exploded into a spray of crimson blood, with organs and flesh scattered everywhere.

"Ahhhhh!"

The people at the floating restaurant screamed in horror, their faces pale as they looked at the bloody mess where Krieg had been.

"Old man, did you see what just happened?!"

Sanji's voice trembled.

Red-Leg Zeff's mind was blank, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Ryujiro, who remained expressionless.

"No, I didn't."

Ruler of East Blue Krieg had just died without any apparent reason?

What exactly did that man do?

.....

"Zoro."

Yosaku and Johnny, supporting the severely injured Zoro, looked up at Ryujiro, their legs shaking.

Though the boy hadn't done anything in front of everyone, those who witnessed the scene could only think that Krieg's death had nothing to do with Ryujiro.

Don Krieg was so simply reduced to a pile of flesh.

The crowd was stunned by Krieg death, but to Ryujiro, it was no more significant than squashing a mosquito.

Krieg, who had been buzzing around Ryujiro like a bothersome fly, was utterly detestable and annoying.

Mihawk's eyes were filled with solemnity.

As one of the few strongest people in this world, he could clearly sense the terrifying power hidden within Ryujiro.
