Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

Carl was familiar with this Quinine Manor.

His father was a close friend of William's father, Mr. Victor, and he and William had grown up together.

Although he hadn't been here for several years, Karl found that everything here was basically the same as when they left.

"Bonnie, my craftsmanship is not as good as William's, but it shouldn't be a problem to fill my stomach."

Carl brought a lot of food and placed it in front of the depressed Bonnie.

"There are still some ingredients in the manor. Let's eat enough first. William may still need some time."

"……thanks."

Bonnie sighed, she didn't eat during the time she ran away.

"taste good……"

As she ate, she shed tears again:

"Sorry, I……"

"No need to apologize, this is Uncle Victor's choice."

Karl glanced outside the door where a fierce battle was taking place and comforted her in a low voice:

“If it hadn’t been for the president’s insistence, we might not have thought of coming back for a few years…

"I'm sorry for Uncle Victor, it's us."

"..."

Bonnie listened silently to Karl's brief explanation of what happened to her and William, with a special gleam in her eyes.

"'My parents are here, why don't I travel far away'..."

The image of the tall, tall, yet gentle and kind-hearted father flashed through her memory, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists.

Forcing herself not to let the tears flow anymore, Bonnie turned her eyes to the door.

Wayne stood in the yard with his arms folded, watching the fight to the death between William and Gabra.

[To be able to say such words is worthy of a man who dares to kill a Celestial Dragon. 】

William is holding the famous family sword, the good and fast sword "Huazhou", and his combat power has reached a higher level than before.

His strength has improved a lot during this period, and he can use the flying slash skillfully.

But facing Gabra, who is proficient in the six forms and is also an animal-type ability user, it is still not enough.

For the Sixth Form of the Navy, William practiced the "Shaving", "Moon Step" and "Land Kick".

They are all leg skills performed in conjunction with swordsmanship.

But less than a year later, he still couldn't use it.

It's just that the reaction speed of the legs and feet is much stronger than before.

But although he has a good sharp knife, Gabra's "iron block" is the only one in CP9 that combines offense and defense, and plays a weapon-like style.

For a while, neither of them could take advantage of the other.

"William...although his swordsmanship is not weak, Gabra is an animal-type ability user."

Encouraged by food, Bonnie gradually came out of her depression.

Karl’s ability was a huge advantage in serving food, and she was very satisfied with the meal:

"Now it seems that the two are evenly matched, but as time goes by, Gabra's physical advantage will gradually become apparent."

Bonnie was a little hesitant. She still had something to say.

There is a huge gap between William's actual combat experience and that of Gabra, who is CP9.

This also made him have to expend extra energy to make up for various mistakes in the battle with Gabra.

"William... he is forcing himself."

Karl held a glass of red wine in his hand, and the bright red liquid was as dazzling as blood:

"The two of us were rescued by the president. Even if we later learned the president's identity, we were confident that we could become his reliable helper without relying on force."

Running the "Ranhai Liquor Club" well is their greatest help to Wayne.

“But what happened with Uncle Victor made us wake up——

"The president is so kind to his subordinates."

He took a sip of red wine, his eyes flashing with realization:

“If we can’t even protect ourselves, the better we run our liquor stores, the more dangerous we are.”

“When we really hid behind the president, we opened wine clubs all over the world.

"Then what we face will be a world-class terrifying enemy——

Karl drank the red wine in one gulp:

"At that time, we will become a burden and weakness to the president, which we will never allow!"

"What on earth...is he going to do?"

Bonnie's eyes were full of brilliance. She only knew that Wayne had killed the Celestial Dragon, survived in the hands of the general, and was now hiding his identity.

If he is a wine merchant, isn't it because his ability is wine?

Isn't it because he wants a peaceful life that he hides his identity?

"Our president is not a person who swallows his anger and lives an ignoble existence."

Karl laughed:

"Miss Boni, if you decide to follow the president, you must have the consciousness to be the enemy of the whole world!"

"Are you the enemy of the whole world..."

Bonnie put down the tableware in her hands in a daze.

"If the world government really represents the whole world, then why not be the enemy of the whole world?"

……

Outside the door, in the yard, Wayne frowned and put away the little phone bug.

"Strangely, the intelligence officer of the Revolutionary Army stationed in the Kingdom of Bliss has not responded...

"Did something happen?"

Wayne hesitated, but still did not contact Lindbergh directly.

"Let's wait until this matter is over. Now that Bonnie has been found, I will officially start fulfilling the agreement with him."

Wayne's attention never moved away from the two people fighting to the death.

As Bonnie said, the further back, the stronger the physical strength brought by Gabra's animal-type Devil Fruit will become more and more obvious.

Not only that, Wayne was personally holding the battle, which undoubtedly gave Gabra unparalleled mental pressure.

This is a desperate fight!

"Hu, hu, hu..."

William panted violently, his sharp eyes staring at Gabra who had just been slashed away by him.

He held the knife in both hands, and the shining blade of the good and fast knife "Huazhou" reflected the bright sunlight.

But although Gabra was slashed countless times, there was not even a single knife wound on his body——

At best, there are only a few white marks.

"Boy! I admit that this is a certain death situation for me!"

Gabra is now in the human-animal form most suitable for fighting, and his bloodshot eyes are filled with madness and bloodthirsty light:

"But there is no way I will fall into your hands!

"Your father couldn't cut through my 'iron block', let alone you who have only learned swordsmanship for a few years!"

As if sensing the cold gaze coming from outside the court, he suddenly laughed wildly and unscrupulously:

"Hahahaha! You are also learning the 'Six Styles', I can see it!

“But even with that man’s teaching, how long has it been!

"If you learned it so quickly, then the rigorous training we CP9 have received since childhood would be a joke!"

"It's true that I haven't learned the 'Six Styles' yet..."

William's breathing became slightly calmer, and there was severe pain in the muscles of his arms, which made him couldn't help but frown slightly:

"But the president taught me that it was only learned to complement my swordsmanship!"

He tried his best to calm down his rapid breathing and became more focused than ever.

But it is not focused on the knife in his hand.

But the surrounding environment.

The ground beneath your feet, the wind around you...

"Whoa..."

Gabra's figure disappeared, and the violent airflow caused by "shaving" disrupted William's perception of the wind.

"clang!"

Gabra's sharp claws firmly held the blade of "Huazhou".

"Distracted in the middle of a fight? Who do you think you are!"

Although he is treacherous and cunning, in the current situation, he is almost cornered:

"That man has the right to despise me, why do you!!"

"Lanjiao Lone Wolf!"

The jumping vacuum blade circled around William and slashed at his legs.

"Bartender Knife Mojito!"

"Boom—"

The flying slash like crystal wine blasted Gabra away again, but William was half-kneeling on the ground——

His energy was finally running out.

"Hahaha! After that sword strike, do you still have the strength to strike again?"

Gabra rushed forward again with red eyes:

"Let you die by the same trick that killed your father!"

The fingers of his hands were slightly bent, his palms were closed, and the "iron block" was used on both hands:

"Finger gun·Ten finger gun!!"

But what he didn't notice was that William, who was half kneeling on the ground, had eyes that became brighter and brighter:

[The surrounding... is unusually calm...

[Can you hear your own heartbeat...as if you are on the verge of death?

[Oh, my current state is indeed like this...

[But there are other “voices” that exist——

【The "breathing sound" of the wind!

【The "breathing sound" of the land!

[The "breathing sound" of vegetation...

[Also...the "breathing sound" of "Huazhou"!

【at last……】

"go to hell!!"

Gabra's violent attack had already arrived, but in the end, his eyes glanced at Wayne who was watching the battle.

That's the one who decides whether he can kill the person in front of him and whether he can live!

"He...is laughing?!"

Wayne smiled broadly.

The steps he was about to take were also taken back.

"Swizzle Knife·Tequila Sunrise!"

A joyful voice sounded in front of Gabra, and then there was a sword light like the sunrise and dawn——

"Pfft!!"

From hands to arms, to chest...

The "iron block" that Gabra was proud of was cut through with a knife!

"The president is right."

William slowly put away the knife and slowly knelt down in the direction of Victor's grave:

"Iron can be cut!"
