Chapter 41: Thoros the Lion
As if sensing the impending unprecedented battle, the dense rain has rarely eased, and, looking at the trend, it should not be long before it stops.
Whoa!
The waves rolled, and there was a crisp sound under the impact of the beast-like ship.
The pirates and the navy ships are getting closer and closer, and the two sides can even see the faces of the people on the other side.
"Stop the boat!"
Stepping out of the cabin, Marshal Soros commanded softly.
Immediately, the adjutant turned around and shouted at the control room at the top of his voice, "Stop the boatββ! β
His voice is very loud and penetrating, not to mention the control room on the main ship, even if it is the control room of several ships next to him, he can hear it exactly at all.
Stomp, stomp!
Leather military boots made a loud noise against the deck, and Admiral Soros hunted in his robes.
With sharp eyes staring at the sky, Soros has a pair of golden twin axes behind him, full of domineering, and he can't tell that he is already sixty years old.
"Gaia, I see you!"
Whispering to himself, Soros's eyes narrowed slightly, and he crossed the distant sea, instantly locking on Gaia, the leader of the Cross Pirates, the new One Piece.
The ships approached again, and after half an hour, the two sides were only a few hundred meters apart.
"Gaia!"
Stepping on the front of the main ship, Marshal Soros, with gray hair, stared at the man opposite with burning eyes.
"Why do you want to reinvigorate the sword?"
He was really angry, not because the navy was attacked, but because the stable situation that had been maintained with great difficulty was once again broken. And some began to shed blood, staining the sea red, and making life miserable for the people.
"Why?"
Gaia scoffed and said, "You ask me why? β
"It's simple: we've had enough!!" The sneer instantly turned to hideousness, and Gaia was like an angry beast.
"You know what? When your resources are squandered, and you can even waste them at will, we pirates, just for a little need, have to risk our lives to enter the sea and dangerous places; While you are arrogant and lascivious, lying on the book of merit and enjoying life, we pirates are running for three meals a day, racing against the sun, and fighting against disasters. β
"Maybe you say? The island of Belgaye is so prosperous, how can pirates live such a miserable life? β
"But that's the case, the prosperity of Belgaye Island is nothing more than the blood of countless pirates."
"They are truly free people, even willing to risk their own lives in pursuit of freedom!"
With a look of gloom on his face, Gaia was clearly thinking of his father, but soon, he broke free from these negative feelings, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Admiral Soros.
"Now, do you know why we're going to fight again?"
Raising his right arm, Gaia roared.
"For freedom!"
"For the new era!!"
"For all our children and grandchildren, no longer as tired as we are!!"
One sentence after another, Gaia is a good hand at inciting emotions, and a simple sentence immediately makes the blood of the pirates on the main ship boil.
Either grabbing the ground with their heads, or tearing their clothes, they were extremely excited, and their eyes were scarlet when they looked at the navy.
"Marshal Soros, we will defeat you!"
Boom!
The long sword roared, like a tiger roaring and thundering, and Gaia invited to fight, determined and high-spirited.
Soros's face sank like water, neither happy nor sad, and he was not touched by what Gaia said.
After all, he is not a young man whose values have not yet been determined, he has fought for the Navy for decades, and he has an extremely firm belief in what he has done.
"Nonsense."
"The navy is the keeper of the seas, and you only cry about your sorrows, but you do not speak of your sins. Relying on his outstanding strength, he kills civilians at will. Hmph, you like this, even if you are executed by Ling Chi, it is not too much, let alone just a little harder. β
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Gaia's gradual guidance in the sequence, Soros only two or three sentences filled it with holes, so that the young navy, who were still guilty, suddenly woke up and had a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of pirates.
"If you want more benefits, just say it, don't beat around the bush."
"Moro wasn't as verbose as you back then!"
Marshal Soros scoffed. The Moro he said was the last One Piece.
"Humph!" Gaia sneered, "The marshal has a good mouth, but I don't know if your strength can still be as sharp as your speech at your age." β
"Try it!"
Bang!
Standing up, Marshal Soros pulled out a pair of golden axes behind his back, and the golden rays flashed all over his body, like the hair of a lion, looking majestic and heavy, full of the domineering spirit of a king.
On the other side, Gaia held a sword in one hand, surrounded by black gas, stepping into the air, like a peerless demon god, with a terrible aura.
Clang!!
The long sword blocked the double axe, and the strength of Gaia and Soros was not much different, so under one blow, neither of them had the upper hand.
Bang Bang Bang!
The killing continues, both sides are the top figures in the world, and it is impossible to tell the winner for a moment.
And just when the two world's top storage were inseparable, the two of them, the navy and the pirates, also fought fiercely together.
There was no cannonball, no temptation, the ships of the two sides collided and directly engaged in the most primitive fight.
They are rivals, destined for one to die at the hands of the other, and there is no other choice.
"Old fellow, you're really old!"
Gaia roared, and the long sword was like a shadowless wind, swishing, and the poisonous snake frantically tore towards Soros.
"I'm really old, but I don't have any problems dealing with you!"
The twin axes slashed horizontally, stirring up a golden edge, and Soros lowered ten Hui with one force, using the simplest and most brutal method to break Gaia's attack.
"Lion!"
With sharp eyes, Soros roared in a low voice, and immediately, a golden lion figure pounced out with the slashed giant axe.
This is his 'divine heart' as the son of God, and it is also the reason why he is called "Thoros the Lion".
Roar!!
The lion roared, and the mighty and domineering spirit of the king of beasts rushed out like a mountain and a sea, and fiercely crushed towards Gaia.
"Hmph, the lion is powerful, but if you are blind, there is no threat!"
The black light swirled, boiling instantly, Gaia sneered, swung his sword and slashed out, and suddenly, the golden lion was like a lightning strike, and there was no damage on the surface, but a pair of eyes, but he could no longer see anything.
"The disadvantages of the six senses, the fourth, the eye!"
The high-ranking members of the navy are called the sons of the gods and have the 'divine heart', so on the other hand, the high-ranking pirates are called the children of the devil and have the 'demon heart'.
Gaia's 'Demon Heart' is terrifying, and he has the ability to close the opponent's six senses according to the strength of himself and the opponent's strength. From weak to strong, they are: oral awareness, nose awareness, ear awareness, eye awareness, body awareness, and spiritual awareness.
Soros's strength is very strong, and Gaia can't close it too much, so he went all out at the beginning, first sealed the lion's vision, made it crippled, and cut off one of Soros's arms.
"I'm sorry, my marshal!"
The long sword swept away, and with a touch of blackness, Gaia was unstoppable, and struck again, closing even Soros's vision.
"Die!"
With his right arm raised high, his long sword swept across, bringing up a burst of edge, and Gaia's power exploded and ran sideways.
Clang!
With the swing of the double axe, although Soros's eyes were sealed, his ears were still good.
"Hmph, listen to the wind and distinguish the position, marshal, you have good skills!" Gaia sneered, and the attack continued.
"I'd like to see how many voices you can tell."
Stepping on the surface of the sea, the waves were roaring, and Gaia made noise while drawing his sword.
But it's a pity that Marshal Soros's ears seem to have been professionally trained, and although Gaia is full of opportunities, he still hasn't been able to take advantage.
However, unexpectedly, a few seconds later, Gaia's second shot was successful.
Bang!
Puff puff!
The sword qi hit, turned into a thousand threads, and instantly drilled into Marshal Soros's body, constantly strangling his flesh and bones.
"Poof!"
Standing up straight, Marshal Soros locked on to Gaia's direction with his induction, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you do it?" β
Gaia sneered and said, "If you want me to sue you, are you an idiot for me?" β
Whew!
The sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and it sweeps wildly.
Marshal Soros continued to listen to the wind and distinguish the position, and even, because of the previous lesson, he raised his vigilance to the highest, but he was still hit, poof, and his body was constantly destroyed by the sword qi, he was like a candle in the wind, crumbling, and he was about to be unable to hold on.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Gaia on the side was completely the opposite, looking at the dying Marshal Soros, he was full of spirit and laughter.
"Old fellow, you are old, take your time with you and fall to the bottom of the sea forever!"
The sword qi accumulated, and the most violent move burst out, Gaia's face was hideous, but to his surprise, Marshal Soros blocked it.
Although the hand holding the double axe trembled a little, and his body took two or three steps back, it was true that he blocked it.
"Male-Lion-Slash!!"
One word at a time, Soros's eyes closed, but the momentum around him continued to rise with the three words.
Roar!!
The golden rays flashed, and the lion roared!
Although the vision is closed, the spiritual sense still exists, the target is locked, Marshal Soros succeeded with a single blow, and with a roar of a lion's spinning kill, he bombarded Gaia into the sea, like a flash cannonball, falling more than 1,000 meters.
Crash.
Half an hour later, Gaia floated up, half breathless and gone, a wolf like a dead dog.
"How...... How can it be? Panting violently, he still didn't believe the sudden change.
"The water waves simulate sword qi, and there is a difference in the resemblance of the simulation. In the beginning, I was deceived by you, but then, so many times, you didn't even suspect it. Hehe, Gaia, you're too young. β
Laughing softly, Soros' eyes brightened. Gaia was hit hard, his 'power field' naturally disappeared, and Marshal Soros naturally regained his senses.
