NOVEL WEB Chapter 147: Dragon Appears
Spartan and Kuma clashed fiercely once again. Compared to Kuma's effortless performance, Spartan grew increasingly alarmed as he fought, realizing that this Warlord of the Sea was indeed stronger than Jack. Terrifying strength like a giant, domineering repulsion, and even elusive teleportation speed.
What the hell! Are all Warlords of the Sea that strong? If every Warlord of the Sea is stronger than Jack, then it's no wonder the Warlords of the Sea, along with the Four Emperors and the Marines, are called the 3 great powers of this sea. How strong must Emperor Kael be, given that he could easily deal with the Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile?
But why didn't he feel the same sense of danger from His Majesty as he did from Ryokugyu and Fujitora? It seemed His Majesty had hidden his strength. Spartan immediately felt ashamed for underestimating Kael. Emperor Kael could easily handle Crocodile, while he was being suppressed by Tyrant Kuma—that was the difference. He still needed to become stronger. He had been quite satisfied, thinking he could fight Jack to a standstill, but now it was still not enough. If he couldn't even defeat a Warlord of the Sea, how could he protect His Majesty in the future and become Kael's strongest fist? He would definitely continue to grow stronger, living up to the title of 'Goa Fist'.
"Hmm?" Tyrant Kuma noticed Spartan had grown stronger again, forcing him to take it seriously, and at the same time, his evaluation of Spartan rose a bit higher.
Before long, Marquis Fujitora, with his wide-range Observation Haki, actually arrived at the suburban battlefield even before Ryokugyu. As soon as Fujitora appeared, a solemn expression appeared on Kuma's emotionless face. Observing from a distance yesterday, he hadn't realized how terrifying this Marquis was. But now, feeling him up close, he knew this blind Marquis was very, very strong.
"Brother Fujitora, this guy is a Warlord of the Sea, and he says he was ordered to test our strength." Spartan felt much more relaxed seeing Fujitora appear. With the 2 of them, they were enough to suppress this Warlord of the Sea. Compared to Ryokugyu, who always emphasized the title of Marquis, Fujitora preferred a more casual approach, so Spartan called him 'Brother'.
"A Warlord of the Sea?" Fujitora's expression was strange; he didn't sense any evil aura from Kuma, but rather a kind and gentle one.
"Heavenfall Marquis Fujitora, let me see your power." Kuma teleported away from Spartan's fight and boldly attacked the blind Fujitora. Although he felt Fujitora was quite dangerous, he had no choice but to act to complete the World Government's mission.
"Why are you attacking me? Is it really just to test combat strength?" Fujitora instantly drew his sword, unleashing the power of his Gravity Fruit, pinning the teleporting Kuma in place, and firmly blocking Kuma's powerful punch with his sword.
"Boom!" The entire ground sank by a meter, and the surrounding ground was shaken up by the impact wave of the sword and punch collision, only to be forcibly pressed back down by gravity.
"So strong!" For the first time, Kuma's emotionless face showed a gritting-teeth expression, and he launched a Paw-Paw Pressure Cannon with his left hand, forcing Fujitora to withdraw his sword and retreat. Kuma took the opportunity to break free from Fujitora's gravity suppression.
"You are stronger than that Marquis." Kuma instantly appeared not far away, quickly assessing Fujitora's strength. It seemed the gap between the 3 Marquises was a bit large.
At this moment, countless dark vines rapidly pierced towards Kuma.
"Which bastard dares to act in the Goa Empire!" Ryokugyu's voice was both furious and excited. Had an extraordinary enemy finally appeared? This was a good chance for him to have a big meal. Kuma stomped his small, thin legs on the ground, instantly settling into a horse stance, continuously sending out Paw-Paw Shockwaves that clashed with Ryokugyu's countless vines. In an instant, an endless series of explosions rang out.
"Ahaha, good strength!" "Forest Giant!" Ryokugyu quickly transformed into a wooden giant, delivering a powerful punch towards Kuma. At the same time, vines from all directions continued to relentlessly attack Kuma.
"The Natural type Forest-Forest Fruit ability is indeed troublesome!" Kuma didn't meet force with force and immediately teleported away. Seeing the dark vines that could pierce his Paw-Paw Pressure Cannon and still remain after the explosion, Kuma knew that Ryokugyu's Armament Haki strength was definitely no less than his own. This was a Marquis no less powerful than Fujitora! It seemed the original 2 Marquises were indeed very strong. Spartan, who joined later, was a step weaker.
The fierce battle here attracted Monkey D. Dragon, who had not yet left the Goa Empire, to rush over. At the same time, a golden Kirin Lion also carried Kael, quickly flying into the sky.
"Isn't that Tyrant Kuma of the Sorbet Kingdom?" Ryokugyu, who originated from the South Blue, immediately recognized this infamous tyrant bounty criminal from the South Blue. "Brother Fujitora, quickly restrict his teleportation, this Marquis wants to stab him to death!"
Ryokugyu immediately became interested. A wanted tyrant king could perfectly serve as a stepping stone for his fame. When he returned to the South Blue, he would be able to scare those South Blue kings to death.
"Marquis Ryokugyu, he says he is a Warlord of the Sea." Spartan reminded Ryokugyu that the decision to eliminate a Warlord of the Sea needed to be made by Emperor Kael.
"You, a wanted tyrant, actually became a Warlord of the Sea?" Ryokugyu's attacks immediately slowed down. Facing this legitimate Warlord of the Sea, Ryokugyu could only forcibly suppress his desire to hunt. Without Kael's order, he dared not act rashly. However, as long as Kael gave the command, let alone a Warlord of the Sea, he would kill even Allied Nation kings without hesitation. After all, Emperor Kael had already taken down 1 Warlord of the Sea and exiled so many kings, and nothing had happened to him yet. Even the World Government hadn't troubled Kael.
"I am here by order of the World Government to test the strength of the 'One Emperor, Three Marquises'." Kuma said emotionlessly, directly throwing the blame back to the Five Elders. But facing the encirclement of the 3 Marquises still put Kuma under immense pressure. He could guarantee that if he didn't have the Paw-Paw Fruit ability to leave at any time, any other Warlord of the Sea coming to execute this mission would be doomed. Even the World's Strongest Swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, would have no hope of victory if surrounded by the 3 Marquises.
"So it's a combat power test, huh? It's a pity your bounty is too low. If your bounty were over a billion, then this Marquis could be promoted to Duke today! Didn't our His Majesty defeat a Warlord of the Sea? Let the World Government recruit a great pirate with a bounty over a billion from the New World, and then come test us." Ryokugyu grinned. He knew Tyrant Kuma's strength was quite good, but his bounty was a bit low, which made him a little unhappy.
But the next moment, Fujitora suddenly looked towards a tree not far away. A green-robed figure quietly appeared on a tree branch. Fujitora tightly gripped his sword. The newcomer was extremely powerful, the strongest he had encountered among all people so far!
"Hey, hey, hey, how did this guy show up here!!!" Ryokugyu stretched his neck, pushed up his sunglasses, and stared wide-eyed at this suddenly appearing dangerous guy. Even the toothpick in his mouth fell out. This was the bastard who made countless Allied Nations' kings tremble with fear!
