Chapter 178 Arrival at Marine Headquarters
Chapter 178 Arrival at Marine Headquarters
Supreme Grade Sword - Ace, Listen to All Things, Dance of Gods' Retreat.
Hehehehe....
This time they really made a fortune.
Not only did he gain a supreme greatsword, but he also acquired two god-level skills: Listen to All Things and Dance of Divine Avoidance!
Especially the Dance of Avoidance!
Longtime fans of One Piece know that although Luffy keeps shouting that he wants to become the "Pirate King", there is only one true Pirate King, and that person is Roger.
So just how strong was Roger?
There is no definitive conclusion yet, but according to the theory that "the captain is the strongest," Roger was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the Roger Pirates.
We know that Roger also wields a knife.
Finally, the original work revealed Roger's skill with a sword. Roger, a true "world-class swordsman," defeated Oden with a single "divine evasion."
In the original work, there is another detail here: Roger was already seriously ill.
Roger said that he didn't have much time left to live, so he wanted to fight Whitebeard one last time.
Judging from the situation at the time, Roger was indeed ridiculously strong. In the original story, he had just fought the Marines when the Whitebeard Pirates arrived. It seems Roger was indeed very powerful; he didn't even rest before going straight into battle.
The key was his subsequent performance; Roger completely outshone Oden at his peak.
The move used to defeat Oden was this very move, "Dance of Divine Avoidance".
Oden bled immediately after taking that attack, which shows how incredibly powerful Roger's move was.
After all, Oden wasn't some nobody, because in the original story, he would have a battle with Kaido later on.
We know that in the original story, the only one who managed to injure Kaido was Oden. If it weren't for the Copy-Copy Fruit user impersonating Momonosuke, the outcome between Kaido and Oden would have been uncertain.
So the question is, who is stronger, Kaido or Oden?
No one knows.
However, one thing is clear: their strengths are roughly equal.
In other words, in terms of combat power, Roger > Oden, and Oden = Kaido.
Of course, this is just a conclusion drawn from a comparison, after all, Roger died too young. As the "Pirate King," Roger is already a legend. Just how strong was this guy? Probably only the previous generation knows.
In all things considered, Roger and Whitebeard were both very strong. When Oden first met Whitebeard, he was thoroughly defeated, and this time he was defeated again when he met Roger.
Therefore, Roger, Whitebeard, Shiki, and Barolok Redfield are all considered legendary pirates of the same caliber. This is because they all possess overwhelming strength... and their strength is backed by proven battle records, without any exaggeration.
Kaido, Big Mom, and Oden could only be ranked in the second tier at that time.
In conclusion, the fact that Gin could defeat Oden's Dance of Retreat in one move speaks volumes about his skill. Even now, he can't be compared to these legendary pirates at their peak.
However, in terms of overall strength, it is definitely superior to Kaido and Big Mom.
.............
Kizaru, standing to one side: "....."
Suddenly, he felt as if he had misunderstood.
The guy in front of me wasn't after Roger at all. He was after the knife in Roger's hand...
"this...."
There are a fair number of people who know Roger is buried here. Among them are several vice admirals, some of whom are renowned swordsmen. Yet, to this day, no one has dared to touch the sword.
As a swordsman, he held Roger, a world-class swordsman, in high esteem.
Regardless of identity.
Simply because we are both swordsmen...
But this guy in front of me... okay!
What principles and bottom lines could someone born in a holy land possibly have?
Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. However, he didn't say anything to stop it. He wasn't going to make an enemy of this guy for the sake of a dead pirate.
Enni, seemingly oblivious to Kizaru's gaze, happily tucked Ace into his waistband.
Thus, he once again possessed two famous swords.
It's not that this is his only chance to obtain a famous sword, but rather that with his current strength, he no longer finds ordinary famous swords appealing. Even a Great Grade Sword like Autumn Water is beneath his notice.
After all, among the great swords, who can compare to the Black Blade Shusui?
Hehehehe...
Enni turned to Kizaru and said, "Thank you... for letting me get a Supreme Grade Sword. I owe you one."
Sometimes, when someone owes you a favor, it serves the same purpose as when you owe someone a favor: to bring you closer together or to establish a relationship between you.
Kizaru is a shrewd person; he could easily understand what Enni meant.
Then he let out a laugh.
This can be considered a response.
Then, Enni bowed at Roger's grave. Regardless, Enni still held the only Pirate King in high esteem.
........
This place was very close to Marine Headquarters, and the two of them arrived quickly.
Two people descended from the sky and landed in the naval admiral's office.
Kizaru walked in quite naturally, without any intention of greeting anyone.
Annie: "..."
He has become a Buddha.
No wonder the Warring States period is so troublesome; these guys are all so unruly. If one of his subordinates dared to act like that in his office... he would teach him a lesson in no time.
Knocking on the door is the most basic courtesy.
However, he followed naturally inside. Why should he bother if Kizaru wasn't even knocking?
Does it make him seem polite?
Does that make Kizaru seem impolite?
"brush...."
The moment the two entered, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office. Their gazes first fell on Kizaru, who was walking in front.
However, the focus immediately shifted to Aini, who was walking behind.
All eyes turned to him.
They recognized him immediately; it was Aini.
Annie!
This name, just six months ago, was virtually unknown. But six months later, it has become famous throughout the land, a force to be reckoned with, comparable to the Navy's strongest fighters...
That's right.
Ever since Enni fought Kaido to a draw.
The morale of the entire navy was boosted, because in the eyes of all the navy personnel, only a naval admiral could have such combat power.
However, Enni possesses... Therefore, although Enni is not a Marine Admiral, he is already regarded by all Marines as being equivalent to a Marine Admiral.
At least in terms of strength...
While everyone was sizing up Aini, Aini also quickly glanced at the people present.
Good guy.
Sengoku, Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, who brought him in. The entire high command of the Navy was present, without exception.
