The third uncle once said that actual combat is the best way to progress, and Raymond now understands this.

Hagues Battle was his first demigod powerhouse in a head-to-head battle, and he gained a lot from the three-day battle.

In this battle, both sides used all their means, spiritual spells, high-level law realms, bans, curses, physical arts... Hegers's methods are endless, and Raymond has also seen the super strength of a real demigod powerhouse.

This battle also made him more integrated with the new abilities he obtained after the transcendent rank advanced sequence 0. Whether it's swordsmanship, mental power, laws, or those arcane magic techniques... All of them have been integrated into actual combat from the theoretical level, and the use of combat techniques has reached a higher level.

is like a red-hot sword embryo, after all, it has to go through thousands of hammers to achieve a real divine weapon.

Raymond clearly felt the kind of "tempering" benefits that this battle brought him.

And this time, the biggest gain was naturally to hunt and kill that super-rank golden divine dragon.

This is Raymond's first demigod-level soul puppet, adding an important bargaining chip to the future fight against the evil god.

Moreover, with the dragon blood of the golden holy dragon, the [Mobritt's Cursed Dragon Emperor Ring] obtained in Hippocrates City, the "Medical Capital", was also successfully unsealed.

This super equipment also took Raymond's combat power to a new level.

......

The great scuffle of the past few days has made the climate of the "Udil Sea" extremely bad and chaotic, with extreme weather alternating with storms, ice, and scorching heat, and there is no regularity at all...

The top-level transcendent law realm can change the climate of one side, and that melee caused these violent law forces to blend and impact in this sea area, forming a large amount of fog and danger zone.

For at least a hundred years, this sea area will be a forbidden place for life.

For low-level transcendents and ordinary people, this is the new "Nightmare Ghost Domain" that cannot be set foot in.

And many years later, there are frequent adventurers who go deep into this dangerous sea area, wanting to find the traces of the battle of "One Piece" Raymond's fame. The treasure hunters also want to find the ruins of the shipwrecks of the two Neptune fleets, and the treasures that were buried under the sea with the naval fleet...

Of course, that's a story for later.

......

The next day, there was a drizzle in the sky.

The friends of the "Ghost Troupe" carnivaled for most of the night and drank to their heart's content.

Early in the morning, Raymond walked out of the cabin.

The three guys, Thor, the fat cat, and Gigi the monkey, lay on the deck, snoring and sleeping.

Lulu saw his own captain come out, waving the branches and rustling.

Loren is reading a book on a beach chair in the shade, Colin is repairing his damaged armor in the lab, Anna is already piloting the ship in the override room, Elijah and Irene are trimming the flowers on the ship, Helen is meditating...

A leisurely day of sailing has begun again.

Seeing Raymond come out, Anna greeted him warmly, "Ouch, captain, are you up?" ”

After all, after last night's ridiculous night, it's still a little embarrassing to see each other.

But with this shout, the girls could no longer pretend not to see it.

Ilya looked grinning, and her beautiful eyes were full of teasing, "Yo, uncle, I thought you were going to sleep a little longer..."

There are words in the words, and there are many ambiguities.

Saying this, Helen and Erin, who were not far away, also bent their eyebrows, and their expressions showed a touch of shyness.

"Hehe..."

Raymond smiled in response, but didn't answer the question.

and Helen, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army, is the captain of the ship, and he is not good at acting too ambiguous. It's okay to mess around in the house at night, and if you don't restrain yourself in front of other girls, it looks a little light.

Thinking of this, he changed the topic and asked, "Miss Luolan, how is the battle situation on the side of the revolutionary army?" ”

Luo Lan put down the book in his hand, glanced at him, and said, "I heard that our side has ended the battle, and we are ready to accept it when we see it." Probably a day or two will be evacuated..."

"Oh."

Raymond nodded.

It's good that the revolutionary army doesn't encounter big trouble, but he is afraid that because of the war situation on their side, the evil god will be angry and angry, and it will not be good to have another "god body" and destroy his allies.

The atmosphere on board was harmonious and laid-back.

But at this moment, Raymond suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed slightly.

He looked a little strange, and muttered, "Huh... I seem to have found a lost Nanatsukai..."

......

As the head of the "Seven Martial Seas of the King", Andre J. Hawke is definitely the most popular bounty hunter in the past two years.

After the battle of the "Raslov" robbery field, this guy actually broke through the long-confused ship island realm and successfully advanced from the "Great Sword Hero Realm" to the "Sword Saint Realm".

The fame of this "world's greatest swordsman" spread throughout the Endless Sea, and he gradually became recognized as the strongest swordsman in the world.

This time the sword path cultivation has made great progress, and it has also allowed Hawke to truly enter the threshold of a super-level powerhouse, and has become a top-level combat force that even a demigod powerhouse cannot ignore.

A few days ago, Hawke, who was loitering around the "Udil Sea" and hunting pirates, suddenly received a call from the Navy to help the Navy fleet intercept and kill the "Ghost Pirates".

Then the "strongest swordsman in the world" did not delay, and with the information transmitted by the World General Government, he chose a possible escape route for the "Ghost Group" to intercept it.

I never thought that three days ago, the conscription suddenly became a support order.

Before Hawke could figure out what was happening, he ran with all his might, following the instructions to the coordinates of the sea area where the battle was fought.

And then, last night, the order changed again ...

Those guys from the World Mansion, let him go to find the traces of the "Ghost Group", kill if he can, and report it quickly if he can't.

The command is somewhat inexplicable.

But Hawke had to carry it out, because the current "Mercenary Guild" was already a department under the jurisdiction of the World Government.

The "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty" is no longer a cooperative unit, and he has sworn allegiance to "Justice".

The two naval fleets were wiped out, the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Pico Arureette, was killed in battle, Hagus was wounded and fled, and the Golden Dragon was killed by the Battle family... This news was so strong that the World Government chose to keep it secret from the outside world for the first time.

Hawke, who was completely unaware, was inexplicably searched after receiving a warning that the "Ghost Group" was extremely dangerous.

As it happens, his luck is not bad, and he just happened to run into the "Ghost Pirates" floating in the sea!

......

Raymond's perception was amazing, and he had already determined the identity of the person who came before the other party found out about them.

The friends on the ship have experienced a fierce battle a few days ago, and this moment is the time when the fighting spirit is the strongest.

Hearing that the captain of his own ship said that the world's strongest swordsman suddenly came to the door in the morning, instead of being worried, they all looked excited about sharpening their knives and looking at pigs and sheep.

Helen: "Hawke from the 'Seven Martial Seas'? After that guy advanced to the 'Sword Saint Realm', he hunted a lot of sea thieves..."

Loran also recognized Hawke's strength and said, "Hawke went to the leader to learn before. Although he was defeated, he did not lose a few points in terms of swordsmanship alone. Among the swordsmen in the world, his strength can rank among the top three. ”

Ilya was a little excited, "Ah... I also brought a good whetstone to my uncle. ”

“...”

Swordsmen were originally one of the ultimate transcendent professions to kill hearts.

Hawke is a murderous and psychologically twisted guy, and even more murderous after advancing to the "Sword Master".

Now, he is the number one thug under the World Government. He must have been present in major battles. And the war in which he participates will surely be full of blood, with countless casualties...

"No wonder that guy's aura has changed so much from two years ago..."

Raymond had been isolated for two years, and he didn't know that Hawke's combat power had improved so much. Far away, he could sense that the guy was sharp, as if he wanted to compete with his Sword Demon Realm.

.......

"Huh... He found us, too. ”

Raymond squinted at the black dot at the end of his field of vision, his eyes lit up.

The Sword Demon and the Sword Master are both the transcendent endpoints of the sword path in the Great Exploration World. When encountering an opponent of equal strength, there is always a bit of itching.

The restlessness in my heart that I want to have a fight and fight for who is the number one sword in the world can no longer hold back.

Thinking of this, Raymond's hand was also on the magic sword on his waist, and a sword intent soared into the sky. And as if echoing, a domineering and incomparable sword intent erupted in the distance of vision.

"Tsk... Juggernaut, what a rare opponent! You wait for me here, and I'll meet him..."

Raymond's eyes became more and more cold, and after saying a word to his friends, he jumped off the boat and headed straight for Hawke.

......

"Come on, Captain!"

Seeing this, the little friends did not have any melancholy on their faces, and they cheered and shouted like mysterious brothers and sisters.

Raymond's current combat power can threaten the powerhouses of the Demigod Realm, let alone a Hawke?

"Wow, the Supreme Sword Demon vs. the Sword Master, this is a shocking battle..."

"Quick... Get ready for the video bug! The pinnacle of the swordsman's Armageddon, it is estimated that there will not be such a wonderful duel in the next thousand years..."

"Stones, melon seeds and peanuts, get some quickly..."

“...”

......

On the other hand, Hawke, who sensed Raymond's existence, was also shocked, and wondered: "There are actually sword masters of such a realm in the 'Ghost Group'?" ”

Between peers, as soon as the breath is leaked, they can better appreciate each other's extraordinary.

Although he knew that there were other masters in the "Ghost Regiment", as a swordsman, he was still fearless and rushed forward.

"The intelligence says that [Ghost] Raymond is a top swordsman, isn't he also advanced to the Sword Demon Realm?"

As the tower water rushed, Hawke's eyes flickered, and although he was a little puzzled, he didn't think much about it.

As long as it's an enemy, whoever it is, then it should be killed.

What's more, the opponent's increasingly strong sword intent has already triggered the battle intent in his heart.

His knife should also drink blood.

Thinking of this, Hawke slowly pulled out the big black knife on his back, this was the ninth-ranked peerless weapon of the "Great Horizontal Sword: Twenty-Nine Imperial Hands Angang Blade" - [Imperial Soul Ten Hands Moon Sect]!

"Sure enough, it's him!"

When Hawke saw Raymond's appearance clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Then he raised his hand without hesitation and slashed it with a knife.

"Moon Slash, Crescent Moon Soaring to the Sky!"

The black knife cut through the void and brought up a series of red-black spatial cracks, and in the blink of an eye, a crescent-shaped sword qi shot out from the blade.

Seeing the sword qi attacking head-on, Raymond was also unceremonious, swinging his sword and slashing down, like thunder.

Extreme Stream, Twelve Views of Hell, Mystery Razer!

The two sword qi violently collided and exploded, forming a large sword qi tornado. Suddenly, the gentle sea suddenly seemed to be delayed, and even nicks like fish scales appeared.

The strange thing is that the sword qi tornado does not disperse, and the cut marks on the sea surface have not even smoothed out...

This trick is tempting, and the two sides are not up or down.

In the next moment, the two peerless swordsmen swung their swords and slashed together. The "sonorous" sword touch was piercing and sharp, resounding throughout the sea.

One side is full of demonic flames, and the other side is amazing, each of which is soaked in half of the sky.

It's a close matchup.

.......

This dozen, a small half a day passed in a flash.

In the distance, on the "Golden Ghost", the people who eat melons watched it with relish.

Everyone ate fresh fruits, drank ice brew, and pointed fingers at the warring sides from time to time.

But the sword qi doesn't have long eyes.

Whether it is the sword master or the sword demon's slash, the power is like a magic cannon, exaggerated and terrifying. The sword qi was more than ten miles long, and in the blink of an eye, it cut the sea full of ravines.

In the distance, the Iron Toad, which is a gathering place for people who eat melons, was also unfortunately hit.

"Oops..."

Immediately, a large number of leaves shook off the deck, and a strange cry was heard from the eldest son.

Colin: "It's so dangerous, that sword aura almost hit our ship just now..."

Lulu: "What almost?" Already cleaved my branch, okay? That sword qi is so weird, it drills into the flesh, it hurts me to death..."

Anna: "Lulu, you're a tree, and it hurts?" ”

Lulu: "Huh... That's right! I'm also very strange, but when the sword qi enters my body, I feel pain. ”

Luo Lan: "That's the sword qi that the Sword Master slashed, and it can hurt the soul." You be careful, if you have sword qi again, don't use your body to block it..."

Thor: "Wow, Juggernaut is so powerful?" ”

Nicole: "Oh, when it comes to sword skills, the captain doesn't seem to have much of an advantage..."

Elijah: "Raymond was sharpening his own sword with Hawke's sword, so he only used the sword. If you really want to kill, then Hawke is no match at all. ”

Anna: "Raymond seems to have another soul golem." The soul puppet of the 'World's Strongest Swordsman'... Sounds pretty handy, too. ”

“...”

Everyone saw very clearly that their captain only responded with sword skills, and did not use any other means.

As Ilya said, if Raymond really wanted to kill Hawke, he didn't have to do much.

Not to mention anything else, the spiritual power spell of the "Divine Venerable Realm" alone was enough for Hawke to drink a pot.

The two are now in such a stalemate, or Raymond is deliberately clumsy, wanting to use this "world's number one swordsman" to sharpen his sword. He wanted to comprehend all the mysteries of the "Sword Demon Realm" as soon as possible, and this kind of enemy of the same rank and profession could give him the best combat experience...

......

In this way, the two sides fought for another day and night.

The melon-eating crowd on the Iron Toad didn't want to miss the wonderful fight scene, and even brought the table to the deck.

"Oh, the captain's true qi is endless... That Hawke had already begun to fall into the disadvantage. ”

"I guess it's almost over. It's been a day and a night, and Hawke's methods have almost been tried, and the captain probably won't waste any more time..."

"Yes! That 'Juggernaut' has nothing left to steal, and the captain should be a killer too..."

“...”

Everyone looked at the two people who had gradually separated the winners and losers in the distance, and their eyes showed a look that they had expected a long time ago.

Eating melons, that's it, and everyone is very addicted.

And at this moment, a mail seagull suddenly flew in the sky.

"I'm afraid this mail seagull is not lost, right? This sea also dares to come..."

"Huh... There was actually a newspaper coming. ”

“...”

Anna stuffed the seagull with money in her leather pocket and took down the newspaper.

When she opened it, her expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no, look at the newspaper, we're in the newspaper again!!!"

......

After a short time, Raymond twisted the dying Hawk back to the Iron Toad.

The friends looked strange and handed over a newspaper.

"Captain, are we in the newspaper?"

"Oh? Got in the newspaper? ”

When Raymond heard this, he didn't feel much surprised.

It's no wonder that he didn't go to the newspaper for such a big thing.

In the faintly excited and unbearable expressions on everyone's faces, the eldest sister Da Anna spoke: "Captain, you are famous this time... You've become 'One Piece'! ”

"Huh?"

Raymond thought he had misheard, and he didn't react for a moment.

But in a blink of an eye, when he saw the front page of "Le Monde", his eyelids suddenly jumped, and then he came back to his senses what Anna had just said.

"Nani, how did I become 'One Piece'?"

As soon as he was excited, Raymond easily pinched off the neck of the Seven Martial Sea Hawk who was still struggling in his hand, and then looked at the "SSS-level wanted post" printed with his own portrait, looking confused.

His first reaction was, who wanted to harm me and seal us in the name of pulling hatred?

Looking at it again, it turned out to be sealed by the World Governor's Office...

Oh... That's fine.

Under the avatar on the newspaper were a few big scarlet letters: Extremely vicious thug! SSS bounty for repeat offenders!

The term "Extremely Vicious Thug" is not something that anyone can use, not even the "Endless Eight Emperors".

The last person to be featured on the front page of Le Monde, the word "SSS Wanted," was a figure who had passed away.

He is the legendary pirate - "One Piece" Delos!

The World Government used this word to express their murderous intentions for Raymond, and also determined to make the "Ghost Pirates" the number one disaster.

From now on, the world government will pour all its resources into an endless siege of them.

In the same way, this also positively recognizes his strength as the strongest person of the pirates!

The pirates regard this kind of front-page headline "SSS-level bounty" as glory, because the person who can have this treatment is destined to be the strongest person in the pirate camp!

......

On this day, Le Monde spread throughout the Endless Sea.

The news of the naval defeat in the Udir Sea area was announced to the world, and the "Ghost Pirates" shocked the world. Colin, Lulu, Helen, Elijah... One by one, the members of the group are peerless and strong, and all of them have reached the top 100 of the world's reward list.

The "Ghost Band" has also become recognized as the world's number one pirate group!

Whereas... Captain Raymond, finally reached the top of "One Piece"!
