Chapter 398

Although even Belous, who is in excellent shape, will not be a rival to the current Yeruashi, because there is a huge gap in pure strength between them, but Yeruashi still respected Belous.

The reason for this is quite simple.

Belous reached the top of this world, relying on his own efforts.

Yeruashi respects such people, despite the gap of forces between different worlds, and does not feel contempt for them or anything like that.

Besides.

Belous by itself does not cause negative emotions in Yeruasha.

On the expanses of the sea, such personalities are extremely rare.

In the original, even the Fire Fist Ace, who had a royal will, sincerely followed Belous.

This was not only due to the overwhelming difference in strength.

The era of the New World has not yet come and there are many more strong pirates living in the expanses of the New World than in the original, and the Pirates of Belous rise above all of them, but at the same time, the strongest pirate team of the New World...it remains the poorest pirate team in the New World.

On the one hand, the Pirates of Belous very rarely trade in robbery, and if they do, they usually target other pirates.

On the other hand, the Pirates of Belous do not charge large sums from the islands that use their flag for protection.

In addition, every time they manage to get some treasures, Belous sends them to his homeland — the Island of Sphinx, leaving almost nothing for himself, even to the point that after his death, Belous left no material legacy.

In fact, the Pirates of Belous are not even pirates, but a force that rules in the free expanses of the sea, as opposed to the World Government.

The results will be exactly like this.

Each of them will rule a certain part of the New World.

"Even though I said it..."

Yeruashi slowly took the blade out of its scabbard, continuing to look at Belous with a smile: "But still, I want to make a proper greeting!"

Today, on the expanses of the sea, no one is able to compare with Belous.

There is simply no better opponent to hone the skill of the sword and the will of weapons.

In addition to the skill of the sword, the will of the Yeruashi armament also has room for growth.

«...»

Watching Yeruashi slowly unsheathe the blade, Marco and the others began to get even more nervous.

But Belous only grinned: "Goo-ra-ra-ra, it seems that the battle with John did not give you pleasure."

Yeruashi has already shown his attitude earlier, so his 'greeting' should not become a battle of life and death.

But despite the laughter, after receiving an invitation to the battle, Belous immediately became extremely serious.

There are not many people on the expanses of the sea who deserve his serious attitude, but Yeruashi, without any doubt, is one of such people.

"He was too weak."

Yeruashi said calmly.

The battle with John really turned out to be too boring and not worthy of special attention episode.

"Father!"

Phoenix Marco, who was watching them from the side, exclaimed loudly.

"Marco, Joz...step back."

Belous gave Marco, Joz, and the others a cursory look, and then looked intently at Yeruashi again.

He gripped the massive Saijo O Wazomono class Murakumogiri Naginata(12) tightly with his right hand and grinned, radiating the suggestion and strength inherent in the Strongest Person in the World.

"There's no need to worry so much, because I am...Belous!!"

Marco and the others clenched their fists tightly, but they still followed their father's order, retreating away from the battle site, along with their comrades who were in an unconscious state.

Yeruashi sent Robin to the deck of the ship with a light wave of his hand and looked at Belous again.

After a few seconds of silence, he abruptly stepped forward and struck with his blade.

«...»

Belous was already in full combat readiness and without delay swung his Murakumogiri towards Yeruashi's blade, emitting a powerful impulse of royal will.

The two blades collided with a loud metallic screech, and many sparks flew in all directions from them.

Klang!!

There was a shrill sound of metal colliding, followed by a terrifying rumble that swept through the entire island.

Countless sakura petals that were floating smoothly in the sky above the island abruptly stirred and scattered in different directions, colliding with a terrifying impulse.

The sky over the island, who knows when it managed to be covered with dense dark clouds, split in half!

"The royal will..."

"It looks like this guy doesn't intend to hold back at all."

Diamond Joaz nervously looked at the yawning sky and tightly clenched his fists, which were immediately covered with a layer of the strongest diamonds.

"Don't worry, Joz."

Marco confidently said: "If a person like a Traveler said that he was not going to look for problems, then it will be so, besides...father will never lose to him."

Although the Traveler destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa and just before their eyes, alone in a couple of minutes, completely destroyed John's Pirates, but Belous has not lost to anyone yet!

Even the Pirate King Golden Roger has never defeated Belous!

The title of the Strongest Person in the World is not given to just anyone.

This was recognized by everyone at sea.

Belous is the strongest person standing on the absolute top of the sea!

It was a battle...

Between the Strongest and the Closest to God!

"You're right, Dad won't lose to anyone...the same thing will happen to this guy that happened to everyone before him."

Flourishing Blade Vista nodded confidently.

Now Belous is only fifty-five years old.

Although his physical strength has weakened a little, but the overall combat power, including the will of the armament, is still at its peak!

In addition, they have not just arrived on this island, but have had enough rest here, so Belous should be in perfect condition in all aspects!

They didn't think that being in such a state, Belous could lose to someone in this world in a one-on-one battle, even to a Traveler!

"...naive."

Robin, who was watching the battle between Belous and Yeruasha from the deck of the ship, heard the words of Marco and the other Pirates of Belous nearby, but only sighed and shook her head in response.

Perhaps the title of Belous is fully justified and he is really the Strongest Person in the World.

Perhaps none of the people of this world is really able to defeat Belous.

But.

Yeruashi...I have long gone beyond the concept of 'man'!

The closest to God?

No.

Robin, who had already witnessed the power of Yeruashi more than once, was well aware that even the title of Closest to God is not able to fully reflect the truth.

Yeruashi should not be called the Closest to God, but...A god traveling on earth!

Accompanied by the stares of Robin Marco and the others, Yeruashi crossed his blade with Murakumogiri and looked at Belous: "Is this the power of Gura Gura no Mi?"

The powerful vibrations coming from the point of contact of the blades caused Yeruashi's hands to tremble to such an extent that it was difficult for him to hold the hilt of the blade.

Belous said imperiously: "Yes...after eating Gura Gura no Mi, I became an earthquake man, so the collision with me...it is equivalent to colliding with an earthquake!"

Yeruashi grinned: "I think it's worth trying..."
