Spring Island.

It is one of the five cherry blossom islands in Oyiqi, and it is also one of the most prosperous islands, and the climate on the whole island is spring all year round, so it is also called the island of spring.

On one of the streets of Harunoshima, there is a very different atmosphere from the fluttering cherry blossoms...... Nervousness, depression, and fear.

"What are you going to do, this is the greatest cherry blossom manor on Spring Island, you can't do this!"

A wizened old man fell to the ground, looking at the vicious faces of the pirates who appeared in the manor, gritting his teeth and struggling to speak.

Bang!

One foot stepped on the old man's chest, trampling him to the ground again, the owner of that foot was a vicious pirate with a full face and sharp teeth, he looked down at the old man at his feet, and said with a wicked smile:

"I've heard that you don't welcome pirates here?"

“……”

The old man was trampled and could not breathe, and could not answer at all.

The pirate smirked and said, "What are you kidding, do you know what era it is?" The Age of the Sea Pirates! What beauty and peace have been put to an end since more than ten years ago! ”

"Since it is the greatest manor, then you must have a lot of treasures here, if you don't want to die, just hand it all over!"

Another pirate walked to the side with a portable cannon and grinned.

The old man inhaled with difficulty, and said word by word with great difficulty: "This...... The most precious treasure here...... It's these cherry blossom trees......"

"Huh? What kind of treasure is a cherry blossom tree? ”

The two pirates looked at each other and couldn't help but cut off.

At this time, dozens of pirates were wandering around the manor, and some people rushed into the villa in the center of the manor, and there was a sound of porcelain breaking in the villa.

Soon a few people came out of it and cursed: "Nothing, not even a single gold coin, where is the treasure hidden?!" ”

After many pirates wreaked havoc in the Sakura Manor, they all found nothing, and soon gathered under a cherry blossom tree at the entrance of the manor.

The captain of the ship, 'Mobile Weapon' Batra, looked at the old man guarding the manor with a wicked face, lifted him up by the neck, and said:

"Bastard, where did you hide all your treasure?"

"This ...... There's nothing you want here......"

The old man spoke in a difficult tone and said, "I...... I did...... These are the most precious things here...... Cherry blossom trees that have grown for hundreds of years......"

Bang!

Batra showed a look of annoyance on his face, he specially asked what is the most famous place on this island, and the final answer he got was this cherry blossom manor, but after running over, there was nothing, only a cherry blossom tree in the manor?!

"I don't think you want to live!"

His gaze became extremely indifferent, and he threw the old man to the ground, and his arm suddenly turned into a silver fluid, which instantly solidified into a long sword, which was against the old man's neck.

The old man inhaled with difficulty, there was no fear in his eyes, he just lay there dying, and he had no intention of resisting the long sword against his neck.

Batra stared at the old man for a few seconds, then grinned.

"Good."

"Is the cherry blossom tree the most precious? Then I will take away the most precious thing! ”

The moment the words fell, he looked at his subordinates around him and shouted, "Burn it for me, burn all the trees, and don't keep a single one!" ”

The old man, who was originally waiting for death with his eyes closed, was instantly stunned when he heard this, and he struggled to get up violently, grabbed the long sword that Batra's arm had turned into with both hands, and said, "You guys...... You can't do that! This manor is ......."

"It's noisy!"

Batra turned his arm back into its original shape, and instead of stabbing the old man to death with a sword, he kicked the old man away, causing him to fall weakly into the distance, and watched as Batra's men began to destroy cherry blossom trees in the manor.

Rumble!

A cherry blossom tree was hit by a cannonball, then ignited by the flames, and quickly burst into flames, and the pink cherry blossom petals turned golden red in the flames, like a faint sunset.

The old man struggled to get up to stop it, but his aging body was tossed several times, and it was difficult to stand up, so he could only watch this scene.

"Demonic ...... You are demons......"

And just when the old man was about to collapse, a voice suddenly came from a distance.

"It's a beautiful view."

Rhodes and Lafitte walked in from outside the manor, his eyes showing a look of appreciation, and after sweeping the entire cherry blossom manor, he landed on the burning cherry blossom tree.

When Rhodes and Lafitte walked in, Batra and many other pirates came over, they were not the Straw Hats, they still knew something about the supernova with a bounty of more than 100 million in the first half of the Great Voyage, and they quickly recognized Rhodes' identity.

"Are you...... Ghost Hand Rhodes! ”

"And Sheriff Devil."

After recognizing the identity of Rhodes, the expressions of Batra and the others suddenly became solemn, in the first half of today's great voyage, Rhodes's is the number one supernova man!

No one expected to meet Rhodes here.

After pausing on the burning cherry blossom tree for a few seconds, Rhodes looked at Batra and the others and said, "It's just as your funeral, but it seems to be a little too luxurious." ”

“……”

When Batra heard Rhodes's words, her face instantly turned gloomy.

He still knows a little about the intelligence of the Ghost Hand Pirates, and all the things that these pirates do are black and black, and when they appear here, I'm afraid they are completely targeted at them.

"Are you eyeing us...... It's not that easy to take Bailey's head worth 160 million, beware of breaking your teeth. ”

Rhodes smiled faintly.

Sou!

Rhodes, who was standing there with his hands in his hands a moment ago, suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already come to Batra's side, and his palm lightly pressed on Batra's chest.

The power of the twist exploded.

Rumble!

Batra's chest instantly spun and twisted like mud, crumbling along with his entire body, but strangely no blood flowed out, but turned into a pile of pale silver liquid.

After flowing for a while, the liquid quickly bulged and converged, turning into a human form again.

"Captain ......"

"Unscathed."

Seeing this scene, many pirates who were originally taken aback by Rhodes' speed breathed a sigh of relief, and a little cruel smile appeared on their faces.

So far, only one of the enemies they have encountered has been able to hurt Batra, but they were still defeated by Batra, and although Rhodes's bounty is as high as 300 million, they still have absolute confidence in their captain's terrifying ability!

"What, it's so famous, it turns out that it's only this level."

"Spiral Blade!"

Batra smiled evilly, and with a sudden wave of his arms, he suddenly flew out of his body, liquefied in midair, and turned into two whirling hook blades, cutting into Rhodes's body.
