Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 112

The next day, after saying goodbye to Dorry and Brogy.

Ron and his companions boarded a boat and sailed down the river toward the sea.

As we exited the estuary, the sea ahead suddenly began to churn and rise.

"what happened?"

Robin adjusted his cowboy hat.

Connie stared intently, then her eyes widened in shock: "What is that?!"

When they saw the island-eating goldfish, as large as an island, emerge from the sea and open its mouth wide at the ship, Connie, Robin, and Kung Fu Dugong Xiaoqi were all stunned.

What is this?!

"We're doomed, we're going to be eaten by a monster!"

Kungfu Manatee Xiaoqi was terrified.

"What, what do we do, Captain?"

Connie looked at Ron in a panic.

Before Ron could say anything...

A loud voice rang in their ears.

"This is an island-eating goldfish. All the fleets that left this island in the past were eaten by this guy."

The people on the boat turned their heads to look.

The giants Dorry and Brogy stood on either side of the estuary, draped in huge gray cloaks and holding weapons.

Dorry glanced at Brogy and said, "For the sake of my friend Ron, I'll reluctantly team up with you this once. Don't be a hindrance."

"Hahaha, I should be the one saying that!"

Brogy laughed loudly, then grinned at Robin and the others on the ship, saying, "Just keep going, we'll clear the way for you!"

Just as Robin was about to thank him, Ron's voice rang in her ears.

"Thank you, but... no need to trouble yourself."

talking.

Swish!

Ron vanished from the ship's deck in an instant, reappearing above the sea ahead, directly facing the gaping maw of the giant goldfish. His body was enveloped in intense, fiery red steam, and waves of energy rippled outwards from him.

A black blade, imbued with a dense crimson sword aura, had appeared in his right hand without his knowledge.

"Armament Haki, Harden!"

Ron whispered.

hum!

A flash of purplish-black light appeared on the Black Blade Autumn Water, making the entire longsword even sharper and harder. It seemed as if purplish-black blade light was flashing all over its body, cutting through the air.

Under the shocked gazes of Dorry and Broky.

Ron, standing in the air, raised his black sword, Autumn Water. A powerful sword aura belonging to a swordsman soared into the sky, stirring up a gale around him. Before the sword even fell, the sea below had already been parted.

"The ultimate technique of Flame Breathing: Purgatory."

With a single slash from Ron's blade.

The sea in front of the ship was cut open.

A massive, jet-black flying slash, wreathed in blazing crimson flames, swept across the sea, slicing right through the giant goldfish.

Under the utterly astonished gazes of Brogy, Dorry, Robin, Connie, and Kung Fu Dugong Xiaoqi.

The giant goldfish was split in two.

The two massive halves crashed into the separated sea, creating huge waves that propelled the Voyager forward at high speed.

"Goodbye, Dorry, Brogy."

After exhaling, Ron, holding the black sword Autumn Water, waved to the two giants who were staring in disbelief behind him and laughed. Then, using Moonwalk, he chased after the ship that was heading into the distance like an arrow.

The ship soon disappeared from sight.

It was only then that Donley and Brogy came to their senses.

The two exchanged a glance, both wearing wry smiles.

"It seems we don't need to help at all."

"That Ron guy, he actually had such great strength hidden away..."

"It's because we couldn't force him to use his full strength. This guy... really is a monster."

The two shook their heads and walked back.

"By the way, did that slash just now carry a hint of Conqueror's Haki?"

"Really? I don't think I felt anything. But if it's Ron, it wouldn't be surprising if he awakened Conqueror's Haki."

"That's true, after all, they're monsters that can rival the strength of giant warriors..."

104, Loguetown, Sign in with Conqueror's Haki! (Two-in-one)

After leaving the ancient island.

They soon arrived at the Red Earth.

After crossing the Red Line, Ron and his group arrived at the East Sea.

In the East Blue, the weakest of the four seas, there are very few pirate crews with bounties exceeding 3000 million.

The pirate ships they encountered along the way were left to Conis, Kung Fu Dugong Xiao Qi, and Robin to deal with.

Ron didn't get involved.

When they arrived at the island near the entrance to the Grand Line, where Loguetown, known as the 'town of beginnings and ends,' was located.

Conis and her group have defeated five pirate crews that wanted to go to the Grand Line. The highest bounty was only 1700 million Berries for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, who was easily defeated by Conis.

Rogue Town.

The moment Ron stepped onto this spot.

A system notification immediately sounded in my mind.

[Beep! Host location detected—Loguetown. Meets check-in requirements. Successful check-in will grant a reward. Check-in now?]

"Sign in."

Ron didn't hesitate.

Sign-in successful. Sign-in reward: Health +10.

Received a sign-in reward: Conqueror's Haki.

Current Conqueror's Haki: Lv.1.

Ron's eyes were filled with excitement and surprise as he felt the unfamiliar power within his body.

The reward was Conqueror's Haki!

With that, all three colors of Haki are finally complete!

"what happened?"

Robin noticed the change in his expression and looked at him.

"No, it's nothing. I just thought of something interesting."

Ron couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Is it."

Robin had no doubts.

"Robin, come and see! This thing is so interesting!"

Connie, already captivated by the bustling streets and shops of Loguetown, waved and called out to Robin.

Robin was drawn over.

In a good mood, Ron took Seven for a stroll around.

A black-haired boy with a clean-cut, harmless appearance, but carrying a black knife at his waist, accompanied by a strange animal wearing a steel vest, attracted curious glances and a lot of attention on the street.

A furtive fellow noticed the long sword at the black-haired boy's waist, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"That knife... must be something valuable."

He said to his men, "You stay here and watch over things. I'll go tell the captain."

"learn."

Not a moment.

A group of people blocked Ron and Kung Fu Manatee Xiao Qi in a nearly deserted alley.
