[Bonnie was running towards her while gasping and gesticulating. All the members of the Kuja Pirates turned pale in panic. Marigrud turned pale with fright, and the two large piles of goods she was carrying on her shoulders fell to the ground.

----------------------------------
To be honest, a pirate like Giovanna Giorno with a bounty of 200 million beli is scary to say the least.
But on the nearest resort island, his arrival would not give people such a shocking feeling.
Because of a competition for the best swordsman in the world that has been heavily promoted in newspapers for several months, this resort island, which is already famous for the Grand Route, has felt like it has become the focus of the world's attention for more than half a year...
As the official start time of the competition approaches, the island becomes even more mixed, with people from all over the world.
The master swordsmen were walking around the resort island, shopping, and traveling. Even passers-by could tell that many of these contestants were pirates who had been wanted for many years!
Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it.
The navy seemed to know about it, but they didn't see any action.
The pirates seem to know this, so after arriving at the resort island, most of them either move around in the area covered by the arena or go shopping, and they are basically very low-key.
This has caused the residents and tourists on the island, as well as many reporters, to become a little numb to this type of characters after getting used to seeing the faces printed on the reward orders.
——A bounty of 200 million Baileys?
——Oh, so awesome.
Originally, even if Giorno appeared on the resort island, he would probably only be "welcome" like this.
As for some rumors about this pirate who has experienced strange experiences, such as ghosts, devil fruits, etc...
In particular, it is rumored that he can steal other people's Devil Fruits.
to be honest--
It really has little to do with ordinary people! In the minds of many people, Devil Fruit is simply a legendary existence. Occasionally, they even wonder whether this thing is a setting made up in a storybook. Even if it is called Giorno
What does it have to do with us that a pirate can steal other people's Devil Fruits? Does that pirate have such ability? Anyway, they are bad guys that we ordinary people cannot afford to offend!
Recently, this island has been participating in competitions. There have been many pirates and bad guys coming for vacation, but no major vicious incidents have occurred...
But the scene just now directly raised people's understanding of the pirate Giorno to a new level.
He actually came out of the sea and confronted the eagle-eyed Mihawk and the daughter of the sea emperor head-on, and - it seemed that he was not losing at all!
The reporter suppressed his excitement and frantically clicked the flash on the three groups of people - two of them each had only one person, and only the Ghost (Harmony) Lady Charlotte Armand had a group of pirates behind her.
This island, which holds the world's best swordsman competition, has gathered countless swordsmen, hunters, and pirates from all over the world... For several months, it seems that the island is calm, but in fact, it is turbulent secretly.
Especially those pirates? How could they be willing to be honest and not make trouble? It's just that some are smart and will not provoke the navy's nerves too much. And some are reckless? Under the suppression of certain forces, they have not had time to do anything.
If something big happens, it will be eliminated directly. As for whether it was the navy, the pirate in the name of the competition, or the big boss behind the competition who took action? There are different opinions.
But? Pirates and pirates are also different.
The daughter of the Sea Emperor, Charlotte Armand, known as the "Ghost (Harmony) Lady" in the New World, arrived at the resort island not long ago.
But the obvious change is that other pirates don't dare to cause trouble on the island, especially outside the arena area, and they keep a low profile as thieves.
As for Charlotte Armand, she acted calmly and in her own way. It seemed that as a pirate, she was not worried about the navy, but that the navy was worried about whether she would do anything excessive.
The one with the same style? The Lone Ranger who arrived at the resort island later than Armand? The swordsman and pirate, Mihawk, known as Hawkeye.
This great swordsman pirate who once overturned several city blocks with his single sword in Shampoo Land and even faced off against naval forces was considered the biggest favorite to win the championship when he first set foot on this island.
Mrs. (Harmony)'s biggest opponent. I don't know how many contestants, after hearing the news that he signed up to compete, abandoned their swords and left, unwilling to face this man head-on.
Before leaving sadly, a swordsman once said: "Facing those eagle-like eyes, I am afraid that I will lose the courage to hold the sword again in the future."
Of course, more people had very direct thoughts before abstaining: "I'm afraid of death. If Mrs. Ghost (Harmony) is here, it is very likely that she will die. Now here comes the eagle-eyed Mihawk... who will die."
The possibility is greater, so a fool continues to participate. It’s impossible to win anyway!”
Charlotte Armand.
Mihawk from Hawkeye.
Just the names of these two people have frightened the courage of many contestants.
During these days, wherever they went, they attracted the attention of too many people on the island.
And as the competition day approaches, people all over the world who are paying attention to this competition for the best swordsman in the world are looking forward to their performance in the competition after seeing their names.
That's why their little conflict at the beach today was so tense and exciting. Countless people heard about it and came to watch.
There were too many reporters crowded in the crowd, secretly expecting these two people to make things worse. It would be best to have a fight before the game, or it would be best to chop each other's heads to pieces without distinguishing.
Victory or defeat, their follow-up reports on subsequent games will be suspenseful, and by then newspaper sales may not directly take off!
But in the midst of such a small conflict between two people, someone suddenly came from the sea and stabbed him with a stick.
He actually has the strength to intervene in the confrontation between these two people?
Giovanna Giorno!
No matter what happens next, the news element of "Giorno x Hawkeye's Mihawk x Charlotte's Armand" alone is enough to attract attention!
In fact, it was not only these ordinary people who were shocked, but even the members of the Big Mom Pirates who were accustomed to the big winds and waves of the "New World" were all stunned by the way Giorno made his debut.
"Are you kidding? Is this kid so powerful?"
"It can actually block Lord Armand's knife..."
"Not only Lord Armand, but also Hawkeye's Mihawk's sword!"
Robin quietly landed on the edge of the crowd, listening to the exclamations of the people around him after being attracted by Lynch's appearance, with a faint smile on his lips.
She stood on the edge, but others recognized that she had flown in mid-air from the sea with Giorno, and quickly moved back for a while.
Lynch looked around, especially at the Big Mom Pirates behind Armand. He was very unhappy with the "passerby's surprise" given by these guys just now, and wanted to go up and give them a lesson.
one time……
He still didn't move, turned around and asked Hawkeye curiously, "Do you know me?"
Armand held a cigarette in his mouth and said coldly: "You have such a special ability, do you think... you can avoid other people's attention?"
"Is that so?" Lin Qi touched his head and laughed, "It's just that you can use other people's devil fruits for fun, it's not that powerful! Hahahaha..."
