Chapter Seventy-Four: Battle Escalation

The world's martial arts are invincible, and only fast is not broken.

This sentence makes a lot of sense, but it's a pity that none of the three people in the battle are known for their speed.

Beckman's physical style is very unique, he does not pursue fast and ruthless, every movement is not a little superfluous, will not waste a trace of strength, like a fluttering butterfly, which makes people feel very smooth in terms of appearance.

And the red-haired Shanks is completely different from his co-captain, the famous knife Griffin in his hand opens and closes, full of destructive power, like a lion, domineering and leaking.

Thunder in the middle of the attack between the two is different from them, and under Zefa's teaching, Lei has also developed his own fighting style, that is, elegant. In close combat, Lei gives full play to the power of the combination of physical skills and fruit abilities, and his body is ethereal like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time, making people unguardable.

Even with the help of the domineering of the seekers, Shanks and Beckman had a hard time coping, and Rechi's unusual way of moving made them tired of receiving moves, and they couldn't find a chance to break through.

"Beckman, we can't go on like this, we won't be able to go if we continue to stalemate. I'll do my best to entangle him in a moment, and you can find a chance to leave. Unleashing a huge sword aura to force Ray back for the time being, Shanks took the opportunity to command Beckman.

"No, if you want to stay, I will stay, you are the captain, without you we are no longer the red-haired pirates." Beckman decisively refused, and reloaded the rifle without raising his head.

"It's my responsibility as captain to protect the crew, so what's the point of you staying? Is there going to be a rebellion? Seeing Beckman's expressionless dead face, Shanks scolded with a gloomy face.

"Isn't it my duty as a crew member to protect the captain?" Beckman immediately raised his hand and shot out as soon as he finished loading his ammunition, piercing through Lei's rapidly approaching body.

Knowing that no matter how much he forced Beckman to leave, Shanks sighed, slashed a thunderbolt with his backhand, and then turned sideways to dodge the Tieyun Sword that suddenly stretched out and stabbed at him.

"You guy!" Shanks sighed, took off the straw hat from his head and handed it to Beckman, "Take this and hurry away, I'll go to meet you later, and then you can return it to me yourself." ”

"Shanks, you!" For the first time, Beckman was shocked, and he knew how important the straw hat was to Shanks. This straw hat is the former captain of Shanks, who is also known as One Piece Gor. It was given to him by D. Roger himself, and it meant so much to him that Beckman had never even seen him separated from the straw hat.

On the other hand, the long-term inability to attack the Shanks made Ray a little impatient. Although Owen and the others had been taken away by his subordinates for treatment before, Lei was still a little worried and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

"I told you, don't even think about leaving!" Seeing that Shanks and the two were discussing with no one around, Ray's anger erupted again.

Ever since he killed Adam by mistake a year ago, Ray has been restrained from his murderous intent. When capturing the pirates, Ray will learn about their biographies in advance, and only after confirming that they are guilty of punishment will he kill the killer. However, when Ray saw Owen's injury, Ray's killing intent was a little unbearable, and now these two people are still so blind, this is like a fuse that makes Ray completely explode.

"Iron Cloud Purgatory!"

Ray's body continued to emit clouds and mist, and the clouds spread out, enveloping the entire sky, and soon transformed into sharp iron cloud spears in the air, the sharp heads of which were pointed at the Shanks and the two on the ground.

"Die!" Ray stared coldly, and whispered a word out of his mouth.

At the command of the thunder, the iron clouds floating in the sky quickly ejected, separated from the clouds connected behind them, and the overwhelming attack overshadowed the sun and the moon, so dense that even a bird could not escape.

On the ground, Shanks solemnly looked at the rapidly firing spear, and used the famous knife in his hand to continuously unleash sword qi, knocking it off in the distance. Beside him, Beckman is on the lookout for 'fish that slip through the net', and at the same time be wary of Thunder who is eyeing him from the sidelines.

Time passed little by little, and the sun had fully risen, but the thunder attack had no intention of stopping at all, as if it could continue forever.

Shanks was negligent due to muscle soreness from swinging his sword for a long time, and Beckman beside him had to step forward to make up for it, creating a defensive void.

"It's now!" Ray keenly seized the moment and unleashed a lightning bolt that struck Beckman. As soon as this blow is delivered, Beckman's body will be paralyzed, and Shanks's body will not fully recover, and they will be shot into a sieve by the barrage of spears.

Thunderbolt slammed into Beckman at great speed, and his eyes widened in horror as if he couldn't accept the end of his fate. Behind him, Shanks also noticed the sudden thunderbolt, but his overly tired body made him unable to do anything, and his mouth was wide open, as if to warn Beckman to dodge.

At this moment, a sword qi flying from a distance cut off the lightning and saved Beckman from a critical moment.

"Who is it?" The blow that was determined to be won was stopped halfway, and Lei's mood became worse and worse.

Similarly, Shanks and Beckman are also looking for the benefactor who saved them, and with the help of Seeing and Hearing, the three pairs of eyes finally meet.

"Whew! Luckily, it caught up. In the distance, at the root of a tree, a gray-haired man smiled with a double-edged straight sword.

......

Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Street.

After a night of swimming, Tiger finally returned to his hometown. Out of some emotion, he didn't rush to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible, but returned to Fishman Street first.

"My hometown! I'm finally back! Walking down the street, Tiger Tiger thought sadly with tears in his eyes.

At this time, a passing fish-man beside him stared at Tiger suspiciously, trying to find the man's memory in his mind.

"It's Big Brother Tiger! Big Brother Tiger is back! The passing fish-man who finally remembered exclaimed.

After the first fish-man on the street recognized Tiger, the news quickly spread throughout Fish-Man Street, and a group of young fish-people who had admired Tiger since childhood flocked to it.

"Big brother, where have you been in the past three years! No news at all, we all miss you. After getting the news, Aaron, who is a gangster in Fishman Street, was the first to arrive and greeted Tiger with concern. At this time, he was not at all vicious in front of others, with an excited smile on his face, like a child who saw his parents who had not returned home for a long time.

No matter how fucked Aaron's personality is, he still looks like a little brother in front of Tiger, who once led Fishman Street and took care of these fishmen.

"Oh, that's a long story, I'm going to go to the Dragon Palace for another trip, and I'll talk about it when I come back later. By the way, why didn't you see Jinping. Hearing Aaron's question, Tiger's face froze, and he didn't want to tell the truth too early, so he quickly changed the topic.
