One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Soon, he successfully passed through the doldrums and officially stepped into the new world. This land was rumored to be a paradise for the strong and a grave for the ambitious.

After arriving in the new world, Ling Tian was anxious and excited. He couldn't wait to raise his left hand, his eyes fixed on the special watch on his hand.

His brows knitted together, and he muttered to himself, "Humph, I should have used this thing back in the Sabaody Archipelago. I actually forgot about it. Otherwise, why would I have gone through so much trouble to find Rayleigh?"

His tone showed both regret for his negligence and anticipation for the upcoming trip.

While he kept complaining about his previous negligence, he operated the watch very skillfully.

His fingers slid and clicked nimbly on the dial, his eyes full of concentration and eagerness, as he tried to inquire about Whitebeard's whereabouts through this magical watch.

Soon, the bracelet on Ling Tian’s left hand suddenly emitted an extremely bright light. The light was dazzling, like a lighthouse that firmly pointed out the direction in the endless darkness.

This beam of light shot straight into the distance, unwaveringly guiding Ling Tian in a specific direction.

Ling Tian looked at the direction indicated by the bracelet, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately moved forward.

At that moment, he flew towards that direction at an astonishing speed like an arrow shot from a bow.

He flew through the air, the whistling wind sounded like a furious roar in his ears, his clothes rustled in the wind, and his hair fluttered in the wind.

His heart was beating rapidly, each beat accelerating in anticipation of the upcoming meeting, as if the heartbeat was also cheering him on.

After flying for a while, a huge outline gradually emerged in Ling Tian's vision on the distant skyline.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a closer look. The familiar and shocking silhouette made him feel excited. Yes, it was the iconic ship of the Whitebeard Pirates - the Moby Dick.

The huge ship was like a moving castle floating on the sea, exuding majesty and dominance.

Seeing Whitebeard's ship, Ling Tian couldn't help but smile with relief, that smile was like the sun shining through the clouds, warm and bright. He quickly adjusted the angle of flight, and his whole body flew down without hesitation like a diving falcon.

As he got closer to the Moby Dick, the sounds on the ship became clearer and clearer, like a piece of music that gradually became louder. The noises on the ship, the shouts, and the sound of the waves hitting the side of the ship were intertwined.

A young crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates was standing on the deck wiping his weapons out of boredom. He looked up and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ling Tian approaching rapidly in the air.

He was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he exclaimed: "What is that? Someone is flying towards us!"

His voice became sharp due to extreme surprise, instantly breaking the original calm on the boat.

Just as he was about to run to tell Whitebeard, Marco flapped his unique blue flame wings and flew lightly to the observation deck like an elegant phoenix.

With his usual calm expression, he said, "Don't panic, take a closer look first."

The crew member's face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He said anxiously, "But Brother Marco, we don't know if the person coming is a friend or an enemy! If he is an enemy, we must be prepared in advance!"

He gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, his palms were already full of sweat.

Marco narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Ling Tian who was getting closer and closer.

After a moment, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said: "Don't worry, the people who come are not enemies, but our friends."

His voice was firm and steady, as if to reassure the crew member.

After hearing Marco's words, the crew member's tense nerves finally relaxed. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is. I'll continue to watch from the lookout."

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Ling Tian in the air. There was no longer any fear in his eyes, but instead a bit more curiosity and anticipation.

Soon, Ling Tian landed on the deck of the Moby Dick as smoothly as a meteor. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the strong impact caused a slight vibration.

The vibration caused some objects on the ship to shake slightly, as if welcoming the arrival of the uninvited guest.

Ling Tian arrived on the Moby Dick with a kind and familiar smile on his face, and that smile was filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.

His eyes quickly swept across the crowd around him, and then landed accurately on Marco. He waved excitedly at Marco and said loudly: "Marco, long time no see!"

His voice was loud and powerful, like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the ship, as if penetrating every corner so that everyone could clearly hear this shout full of joy and excitement.

"Long time no see, Brother Lingtian," Marco said with a bright smile on his face after hearing Lingtian's words.

His voice was filled with joy of reunion, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia for past memories.

Just after Marco finished speaking, a tall warrior with two swords on his waist ran over with brisk steps, and his footsteps made a "thump thump" sound on the deck.

I saw him with bright eyes and heroic expression, and he said loudly: "Long time no see, Lingtian!" This person was the majestic Kozuki Oden.

Behind Oden, there are a man and two women. The man standing behind Oden is tall and mighty, with a resolute temperament. He is Oden's son, Kozuki Momonosuke.

As for the two women, one was the gentle and dignified Mitsuki Toki. She had a soft face and her eyes were filled with endless tenderness and affection. She was Oden's wife.

The other is the lively and agile Kozuki Hiyori, who is young and beautiful, exudes a vibrant aura, and is the daughter of Kozuki Oden.

It was because of Ling Tian's appearance and intervention that the situation underwent a huge change.

Kaido did not kill Oden, which directly led to Oden becoming the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although Oden holds the important position of vice-captain in the Whitebeard Pirates, if we talk about the second strongest person in the Whitebeard Pirates, it must be Marco.

The reason for this can be traced back to many years ago. At that time, it was because Ling Tian gave Marco the mysterious power of ice, and this power was integrated with Marco's own abilities and complemented each other.

After years of training and tempering, Marco's strength has been greatly improved. The powerful ability he demonstrated has amazed everyone. Now he has become an awe-inspiring presence in the pirate group.
