Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The only way to save money is by robbing
"Kid, that's not how you hold a sword!" Roger put his hands on his hips and looked at Rhett helplessly.
Rhett held a large wooden sword with a broad blade that was almost as tall as him in both hands. The tip of the sword dragged on the ground, making a "swishing" sound.
"But I think the big sword is cool!" Rhett muttered unconvinced, "With one strike, I can cut the enemy into pieces, including the ship!"
Rhett feels that men should play with great swords.
Roger held his forehead with his hand "...You are only four years old. Are you trying to throw yourself out with such a big sword?"
Rayleigh was drinking leisurely nearby, and added "It requires extremely high physical fitness, kid. If you want to use heavy swords and big items, you need to double your strength training."
Roger: "…"
Gaban laughed "Let him try. He will be the one who gets hurt if he falls down anyway. He can swing the knife and take himself flying with it. Hahaha."
Rhett glared at Gaban and said, "Brother Gaban, just wait. When I master this skill, I will be the first to chop you down!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Gaban grinned and patted the double axes at his waist.
"First, hold the sword steady." Roger handed his sword to Rhett, "Try this."
Rhett took the sword, gestured twice, and frowned: "It's too light, I don't feel it."
Roger sighed, "You can't even swing a sword at the basic level, and you want to use a greatsword?"
Rhett curled his lips "But a great sword is more imposing! Look at those legendary swordsmen, which one of them didn't sweep through thousands of troops with a huge sword?"
Rayleigh pushed up his glasses. "Those 'sword masters' you mentioned, most of them are made up by you, right? Nowadays, every great sword master has his own famous sword, and it seems that none of them are heavy blades."
Rhett :"..." He forgot it not the right timeline
Roger was helpless "Okay, then let's start with the most basic - swing the sword a thousand times!"
Rhett "???"
These are not very important, just like this for two years,
The important thing is that there are four of them in Roger's Pirates, but they don't have their own ship, which is not acceptable.
Rhett spent several months practicing swinging with a wooden sword.
Everyone was robbing the pirates and the navy. All the pirates were killed. The navy saw that there was not a drop of treasure left. The six-year-old kid Rhett applied to go to war.
"Captain, that ship seems to be a good target for us." Rhett leaned against the side of the ship, mist swirling around his fingertips, his red eyes calmly scanning the pirate ship flying the skull flag in the distance, "Blood Axe Pirates, total bounty of 47 million Bellies."
Roger laughed and slapped the rudder "Hahaha! Little Rhett is becoming more and more like a pirate!"
Rayleigh pushed his glasses and said, "The calculation is very accurate. This bounty is just enough to buy a ship. Since we want to buy our own ship, we have to buy the best one. 200 million should be enough." (The author thinks that Belly at that time was not yet inflated and 200 million could buy a lot of things. If it is wrong, it can be changed.)
Gaban grinned, the axe blade reflecting the cold light. "Finally, some decent prey."
Rhett gently adjusted his cuffs, white mist swirling around him "Should I start setting up the mist scene?"
"No!" the three said in unison.
Rhett raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why why?"
Roger put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Kid, today I'm going to test your swordsmanship!"
Rayleigh smiled and added "Let's see how strong 'Scarlet Mist' is when he doesn't use his abilities. You are also conscious and don't rely on elementalization. Let's try to see how strong you are when you don't use your fruit abilities at all."
Gaban swung the axe "If this is bad..."
"Understood. Five hundred more push-ups." Rhett elegantly drew out the large wooden sword, the armament color entwined and dissipated on the blade, "Watch out everyone, I am about to start the show."
As the boat approached, the Blood Axe Pirates' minions burst into laughter "Four people dare to come and rob us? And there's a kid dressed like a noble!"
Long black hair with black blue and red clothes, maybe it has something to do with the mist fruit, some water mist special effects, wow, it's so fairy-like,
Rhett likes it very much.
Rhett stepped lightly on the enemy ship in the mist, holding the wooden sword in one hand and spinning beautiful sword flowers in his palm "Everyone, let me correct two points-" The tip of the sword suddenly stopped three inches in front of a pirate's nose, "First, we are here to collect the bounty; second..."
He dodged the incoming scimitar and slashed the opponent's throat with his wooden sword: "...Just because I'm well-dressed doesn't mean I can't send you to hell."
The pirate's weapon fell to the ground with a clang.
"You've made considerable progress in your observation Haki." Rayleigh praised during the melee.
Rhett's lips curled up slightly, and he moved across the deck with mist-like steps. Every time he drew his sword, it was full of power and sound.
When the three pirates pounced at him at the same time, he suddenly ducked and drew a half-moon arc with his wooden sword—
"Mist Moon, Three Stars Company."
The three pirates fell to their knees, holding their necks.
"Beautiful!" Gaban said. "But the moves are too fancy!"
"You don't understand, it's mainly because it's cool." Rhett chuckled, and suddenly his expression became stern. He swung his wooden sword to block - "clang!" and blocked the giant axe attacking from behind.
Captain Bloodaxe's ferocious face was within reach "Kid, you..."
"Shhh..." Rhett put his index finger in front of his mouth, his eyes flashing red, "You're too noisy."
If it were normal at this time, the fog would have already spread around Captain Bloodaxe and started to erode him.
There was no way to do it, because the boss didn't allow him to use it. The wooden sword was covered with a straight horizontal banner of armed color. This move did not have any skills, it was a pure display of strength and the aesthetics of violence. Captain Bloodaxe's axe broke, and when the giant fell to the ground with a bang, his body and head were separated. Rhett had already put away his sword and stepped back, brushing off the non-existent dust.
Rhett feels pretty good today, mainly because he feels good showing off. Imagine the three top pirates of the future watching you show off. Don't be too happy, okay?
Gaban counted Belly and suddenly looked up "Hooray for finally having enough money."
Rhett is still posing on the bow. I heard he has enough money.
After running over here, they finally had a boat of their own. The boats they stole either smelled strange or were very broken. Rhett really couldn't stand it.
In the South Blue Naval Branch, Colonel Gruss looked at the latest bounty from headquarters, veins popping out on his forehead.
"'Straw Hat Roger', bounty of 200 million Bellies ..."
"' Dark King ' Rayleigh, bounty of 150 million Bellies ..."
"'Axe King' Gaban, bounty of 98 million Bellies ..."
"'Scarlet Mist' Rhett, bounty of 50 million Bellies ..."
"These lunatics!" Gruss slammed the bounty on the table. "In just three months, the bounty has increased three times! How many pirate groups and warships have they robbed?!"
The staff officer replied tremblingly: "Report, report to the colonel, 17 pirates have been confirmed..."
"It doesn't matter. Headquarters has sent someone over. They won't be able to run away for long. Keep an eye on them and don't lose them!"
Morgans, the world's largest newspaper company, the bird-bird fruit seagull form.
"Big news, big news. Is the ocean going to have its own king?"
