"Hamr of the Wind King!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
Arthur and Kaido struck in perfect sync—waves of pirates were crushed instantly.
Neither of them held back.
Every strike was aid to kill.
"Damn!"
"This recruits!"
"Hahahaha..."
"Looks like Ironhamr kicked a bucket."
"Uh… there's no chance those two brats can beat Ironhamr, right?"
"Wanna bet?!"
"Get your bets in!"
The surrounding pirates didn't intervene—
They were just here for the show, shouting with madness like gamblers at an arena.
---
"Haah… haah…"
Duru dropped to the deck, chest heaving with exhaustion.
"These two… are they so kind of alien? Their strength is absurd! And they're rookies in the Rocks Pirates?!"
Huff...
A trail of smoke drifted from Shakky's lips as she replied calmly:
"Don't compare yourself to monsters. We're not them."
Duru nodded in agreent.
"Fair point…"
Still—
Dozens of pirates lay sprawled around Duru as well.
For a trainee to take down official mbers?
He was no slouch either.
---
Shing!
Arthur's invisible blade slit the last pirate's throat.
He swept a glance over the blood-soaked deck.
"Looks like the cleanup's done."
Kaido slung his kanabō over his shoulder, grinning wickedly.
"Who knows. These damn rats just don't learn. They'll pick a fight with anyone."
In just a short ti—
Two hundred pirates, full-fledged mbers of the Rocks Pirates, had been completely wiped out.
Not one left standing.
Every single one… dead.
And the trio—Arthur, Kaido, and Duru—had every reason to be proud of the massacre.
"Damn brats!!"
"RAAHHH!!!"
Suddenly, a towering figure charged toward them, roaring in fury.
Wielding a massive warhamr, he bellowed:
"You two brats are dead!! You think you can just slaughter my n?!"
"Warhamr Slam!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido t the attack head-on.
In an instant—
A massive shockwave erupted from the clash.
Kaido's face darkened. He felt the overwhelming pressure from this man.
He wasn't like the rest of those weaklings.
This one was on a whole different level.
Grin.
Kaido's lips curled into a fierce smile.
"You're exactly the kind of opponent I've been waiting for!"
—
Arthur turned to Shakky.
"Shakky, do you know who that guy is?"
Shakky nodded.
"A mid-ranking officer in the Rocks Pirates. Bounty: 130 million berries. They call him Ironhamr. As for his real na—no one rembers."
Arthur gave her a casual hand signal—got it.
After all—
The Rocks Pirates had over 2,000 mbers.
It was impossible for there to be only six officers.
What Arthur didn't yet know was that—
Outside of the 600 "elites," the remaining 1,400 crew mbers were entirely expendable.
Rocks had endless replacents waiting.
---
Clang! Clang!
The battle between Kaido and Ironhamr had already reached a fever pitch.
And yet—
Ironhamr's raw power was steadily pushing Kaido back.
"Hahaha…"
Arthur teased,
"Kaido, don't tell you're losing to this guy? That'd be kinda embarrassing."
"YOU BASTARD!!"
"I ain't losing to anyone!"
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Arthur's jab lit a fire under Kaido.
There was no way he'd go down like this!
"Warhamr Slam!!"
Ironhamr didn't flinch—
And was clearly overpowering Kaido.
"Well."
"Good luck."
Arthur smirked and turned toward Ironhamr's ship, strolling away.
"Oi, brat."
The mont Arthur stepped aboard one of the ships, two figures stepped out.
Their eyes burned with murderous aura.
"Arthur."
"Those are Silverhamr and Goldhamr," Shakky said with a smile.
"Silver's bounty is 120 million. Gold's is 110 million."
"Thanks," Arthur replied.
"I'll make sure you're compensated for that intel."
Shakky grinned lazily.
"Well then—I'll be expecting it."
—
"The Iron–Silver–Gold Trio!"
"Oh, this is gonna be good."
More pirates gathered, hungry for violence.
---
"Gurararara~~~!"
Edward Newgate laughed from afar.
"What a ss! These kids just boarded the ship and already stirred up so much trouble."
"Gyahahahaha~~~!"
Shiki was practically giddy.
"Damn, I wanna bring these two under my command! If I could just—"
He didn't finish the sentence.
But the fire burning in his eyes said it all:
Shiki was eyeing them hard.
---
"You little bastard…"
Silverhamr's face twisted with hatred.
"We spent years building up our crew, and you slaughtered them all!"
"Hahaha…"
Arthur smiled coldly.
"That's a funny thing to say. Isn't survival of the fittest the law of the Rocks Pirates?"
"The victor takes all."
"Wasn't it you who taught us that?"
Unbelievable.
Even among pirates, Arthur hadn't expected this kind of two-faced cowardice.
Especially in a crew as brutal as the Rocks Pirates.
If you hadn't accepted the risk of losing your head, why'd you even join?
"Kill him!!"
"Bastard!!!"
Silverhamr and Goldhamr roared, their faces twisted in fury.
