Chapter 35 Terrifying Slash! Suddenly Sea Kings Appeared

Conqueror's Haki surged through Ai Xiu's body, creating a powerful aura that left the pirate, who had fled with two Devil Fruits, trembling in fear. He couldn't believe that such formidable strength existed in a place as insignificant as West Blue.

"Damn it! How can there be a Marine this strong in West Blue?" The pirate exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. He had been a formidable pirate himself, boasting a bounty of 87 million in the New World before joining Heavenly Yaksha's crew. He had thought that in West Blue, where pirates were generally weaker, he would have no opponents. Little did he know that he had provoked a powerful figure right from the start.

Ai Xiu's Conqueror's Haki exerted its dominance, causing the approaching pirates to collapse to the ground, overwhelmed by the sheer pressure. Tashigi, who had been pushed aside by Ai Xiu, couldn't comprehend what was happening since she hadn't experienced the effects of Conqueror's Haki herself.

Amid the chaos, the pirate named South Koroa, clutching the two boxes tightly, attempted to make his escape. He unleashed a barrage of slashing attacks, but while they covered a wide area, they lacked sufficient power.

Observing the pirate's actions, Ai Xiu inwardly commented on the lacklustre strength of his attacks. It was clear that South Korea's power was not enough to pose a threat.

As South Koroa turned to flee, he was suddenly intercepted by Ai Xiu and Tashigi, who seemed to have teleported before him. Tashigi's sword fell into Ai Xiu's hands, and with a single swing, a powerful blue slash flew forward, effortlessly dispersing the hundreds of slashing attacks.

The impact of the slash resonated throughout the island, leaving behind a massive sword mark that stretched toward the sea. Tashigi stared in awe at the monumental display of power, realizing that she was in the presence of an extraordinary swordsman.

South Koroa, witnessing the devastating effect of Ai Xiu's attack, felt a surge of despair. As a swordsman himself, he understood the immense strength behind that strike. Ai Xiu was undoubtedly a monster among Marines, and South Koroa's luck had run out.

In a desperate attempt to escape, South Koroa hurled one of the boxes toward the distant sea. Ai Xiu's eyes flickered with determination as he chased after the thrown box, utilizing his Moonwalk ability to stay suspended in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the pirate ship carrying the other members of South Koroa's crew swiftly changed direction, evading the incoming bombardment from the Marine warships. The one-eyed pirate at the helm couldn't contain his excitement. All he needed was to escape, and one Devil Fruit was enough to secure his future.

Unexpectedly, a massive black shadow emerged from beneath the sea's surface, causing violent waves to crash around. South Koroa, frozen with terror, turned his head to witness the horrifying sight. A gargantuan Sea King rose from the depths, its enormous mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. In a split second, it devoured the entire pirate ship, leaving no trace behind.

The Sea King's attention then shifted toward Ai Xiu, who was hovering above the sea. After a glance, the creature disappeared beneath the waves, leaving Hina, who was observing the events from a distance, astonished by the appearance of the Sea King. The safety of Ai Xiu and the others became a concern for her.

Hina, perplexed by the unexpected appearance of the Sea King, quickly dismissed the thought and focused on the fact that it had disappeared. Nevertheless, she couldn't shake off the worry regarding Ai Xiu and the tremendous power he had displayed through his Conqueror's Haki and the overwhelming slash on the island.
