The sword blade stirred up a raging wind and struck towards William's face. However, when it was only a few dozen centimeters away, it was blocked by a huge flower bud that came from nowhere and was blocked by heavy petals.
"What a surprise, kid..."
William, who recovered from the shock, looked at the ferocious face close at hand through the gap in the flower heart, half-smiling, "I didn't expect you to be so bold, you really dare to take action against me."
"I feel really good about myself, Your Highness William."
Nuo Xia stared at William's azure eyes and poured all his strength into his arms. His tone and eyes were full of sarcasm, "If you are timid, I will not become a navy."
Bah!
The tough and huge petals began to be unable to hold up, and they began to tear apart layer by layer from the outermost side. William's expression changed slightly, the smile on his face finally completely faded away, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Originally, I didn't need to pay attention to you. With just a phone call, the senior officials of your navy and even the officials of the World Government will naturally make it difficult for you, a brat like you who doesn't know the heights of the world, to get away with it."
"But now, I have changed my mind. I will break your neck with my own hands later, and then use a knife made of flower petals to torture you bit by bit until you die..."
He glanced at Cabbage and Babu behind him, who were full of anger and were about to rush forward, and snorted coldly:
"No one is allowed to help. Today I am going to let this kid know how big the gap in strength between people is, and how stupid he is to dare to challenge my majesty!"
"So much nonsense!"
Nuo Xia shouted sharply, exerted force suddenly, and completely cut through the petals in front of her, "Awe? Gap? You don't really think you are something, do you?!"
…………
boom!
A huge explosion resounded throughout the valley, and two figures intertwined, breaking out of the wall almost at the same time, fighting towards higher ground.
In an instant, the battlefield rose all the way from the cave to the top of the cliff.
"Young people are just irritable..."
Kizaru stood at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the two figures fighting fiercely, and said leisurely, "I didn't even react, so I just drew my sword and took action. It's really scary..."
"Lieutenant General, won't you stop this kid?" Major General Gumil on the side looked anxious. "Let's not talk about whether we can fight or not. If he attacks William, he will definitely suffer a lot in the future..."
"bar?"
Kizaru glanced at him, "Where did Nosha come from?"
"This... this is our headquarters."
"What am I?"
"Commander of the G2 branch..."
"Is the headquarters bigger or the branch bigger?"
"Of course it's the headquarters... No, Lieutenant General, what time has it been? Why are you talking about this?"
"That's strange."
Kizaru widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Since you also know that the headquarters is bigger than the branch, when will I, the commander of the branch, be able to control the people in the headquarters?"
"Eh?"
Gumil stayed in place, feeling that it made sense, but something seemed wrong.
……………
Cliff top.
Blue petals were flying all over the sky, and the sword energy was raging in the air. Along with the explosions in the air from time to time, two figures could be vaguely seen flickering and fighting among them.
Cracks spread out like spider webs on the ground nearby for tens of meters. From time to time, large pieces of rock and earth collapsed, turning into countless sand and dust, falling into the valley between the cracks.
"Forest of Flowers, Whiplash!"
With a cold and low cry, dozens of vines composed of light blue petals suddenly sprouted from William's back.
Each one swelled wildly in the wind, and in an instant it became as thick as a wheel. Like a violent storm, it whipped towards Nuoxia on the opposite side.
Swish! Swish!
Nuo Xia, who was wearing light boots, walked between these blue vines with ease at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and easily neutralized most of the attacks.
Although there were fish that slipped through the net from time to time and were whipped on the back at tricky angles, he seemed not to notice it and still stared at William with cold eyes. As he kept approaching, he slashed out sword energy one after another.
"What an amazing intensity..."
William dodged the sword energy and saw that his petals and vines were hitting the opponent's body, leaving almost no trace. He couldn't help but frown and his eyes were slightly focused.
"No wonder that stupid woman Messiah died in the hands of such a bastard."
No, it's not just strength.
The opponent's swordsmanship is also quite powerful, he is an out-and-out swordsman, and his speed is not weaker than his own, and his strength is only half as good as his own.
However, this is also good...
Ever since the prince's identity was exposed, he has not enjoyed a decent fight for a long time. Even in the entire Alabasta, no one dared to take action against him. He could only occasionally have fun in some underground boxing rings.
It's rare to encounter such a strong "just right" opponent today. It's time for me to settle old grudges and new grudges while enjoying the battle addiction!
laugh!
Another sword energy struck, William tilted his head slightly to dodge it, then a sharp look flashed in his eyes, he raised his right foot, and suddenly landed heavily on the ground!
"rise!"
With the force of the counter-shock, William leapt into the air, bringing up countless sand and dust under his feet. In the next moment, the sand and dust suddenly collapsed and turned into cherry blossoms all over the sky, circling and dancing around him.
Under the sun, the handsome William was surrounded by cherry blossoms, looking down at Nosha below coldly, like a god.
"Quicksand Qianrenying!"
With a tap of his fingertips, all the pale pink cherry blossoms flying in the sky turned and shifted, with the flower tips facing downwards, and fell towards Nuoxia!
Every petal is as sharp as a knife blade.
Every colorful flower hides endless murderous intent!
Buzz!
The rain of flowers roared down, like the torrential rain after lightning and thunder, covering the sky and the earth, and the momentum was really amazing.
Looking from a distance, Nuo Xia's figure standing on the top of the cliff looks like a small boat struggling to support itself in a storm, and it seems that it will be torn into pieces at any time.
This kind of movement not only made the naval soldiers in the valley below hold their breath, but also worried.
It also alarmed the people under the cliff and in the entire town on the Jevo Peninsula.
Many criminals who had been hiding before raised their heads and looked at the top of the cliff in shock at the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky under the sun.
"The power of the petal fruit... Oh my God, the person above is the current King Shichibukai, His Highness William?"
"It's definitely William! Who has the courage to fight against him?"
"Are they the people from the navy before? Are they crazy? Haha, they are just a bunch of lackeys of the Tianlong people. How dare they provoke half of their masters?"
There were some who were surprised, some who were suspicious, and some who were mocking, but all onlookers basically reached a consensus on a certain point.
That is, under that kind of shocking attack, whoever dares to attack William, no matter who it is, will be torn to pieces by knives all over the sky, and there will be no chance of surviving!
pity.
What happened next was not what they expected.
Cliff top.
At the moment when the rain of flowers in the sky met his face, Nuo Xia made a quick decision and quickly pulled back with a moon step. At the same time, he shouted sharply, drew out his two swords, and slashed forward at an incredible speed!
