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

The man who was knocked away by Ling Tian struggled to stand up. His body was swaying like a candle in the wind, and he could fall down again at any time.

His eyes no longer had the previous arrogance and ferocity, but were replaced by deep fear. That fear was like endless darkness, completely engulfing his eyes.

His legs kept shaking, and every tremor was accompanied by uncontrollable spasms, as if he had lost the strength to support his body. His teeth were also chattering, and the clattering sound was particularly clear in the quiet tavern.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you." The man stammered, his voice trembling so much that it seemed as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look directly into Ling Tian's eyes, and his whole body was shrouded in fear.

After saying this, the man ran away in panic without stopping. His steps were hurried and hurried, leaving a trail of messy footprints on the ground.

Although Ling Tian just knocked the man away, Ling Tian basically did not use any abilities.

He simply relied on his own powerful aura and instant burst of power to easily resolve the provocation, so the man did not suffer much substantial damage.

There may have been only some minor scratches and bruises on the surface of his body, but although he did not suffer much physical damage, he suffered a huge blow psychologically.

After hearing that Ling Tian was actually the one with the same name as Whitebeard, his heart was filled with fear and regret. He hated his own recklessness and ignorance for provoking such a terrible person.

"How could I be so stupid that I dared to provoke such a strong man!" He kept scolding himself in his heart, his heart full of endless fear.

"You really overestimate your own abilities. You actually dare to challenge Lord Ling Tian." Someone in the tavern said disdainfully, his tone full of ridicule towards the man.

"Fortunately, Lord Ling Tian showed mercy." Another person echoed, with a look of relief on his face.

People in the tavern began to whisper and discuss what had just happened.

"Lord Ling Tian's reputation is not exaggerated. That guy really deserves it!"

"Yeah, you dare to provoke me without even considering your own weight."

Various discussions filled the entire tavern, but Ling Tian was still sitting in the corner, quietly enjoying his wine. His expression did not change at all, and he was still so calm and composed.

It seemed as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him. He was immersed in his own world, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

……

As night falls quietly, the bustling town seems to be slowly covered by an invisible hand, gradually immersing itself in tranquility.

The lights in the pub shone through the windows like golden swords, piercing the darkness and sprinkling on the deserted streets. The mottled light and shadow seemed to be telling the bustle and busyness of the day.

Ling Tian sat quietly in the corner of the tavern, holding the carved wine glass in his hand, his eyes slightly tired. He glanced at the scene outside the window where the sun had already set, and the only remaining afterglow in the sky was quickly swallowed up by the darkness.

Ling Tian sighed slightly and drank the wine in the glass, feeling the spicy liquid flowing down his throat, bringing a burning sensation.

Then he stood up, and the chair creaked as it rubbed against the ground, as if it was the only noise in the silence.

He slowly walked to the door of the tavern, stopped, and took a deep breath. The night air was cool and moist, with a light salty smell of the sea.

He raised his wrist again and activated the bracelet.

This time, the bracelet did not flicker or lose signal like before. Instead, a blue light pointed straight into the distance, like the light before dawn.

A spark of hope instantly ignited in Ling Tian's eyes, and that light was brighter than the stars in the sky. He exerted his strength without hesitation, soared into the air, and flew swiftly in the direction indicated by the light.

The night sea breeze was like a naughty child, blowing freely on his face and gently ruffling his hair. His black hair fluttered in the wind like a flag in the dark night.

His eyes were fixed firmly on the front, and the blue light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, as if it was the path that fate was guiding him.

The sea surface at night was sparkling, reflecting the stars, like a huge mirror of the starry sky. The waves gently hit the shore, making a pleasant sound, as if playing a melody for him to move forward.

"The sea at night is so beautiful." Ling Tian couldn't help but sigh, his voice drifting in the wind. "It's great to come to this world, although it is full of challenges and dangers, but there are also such intoxicating beauty."

As he flew, he admired the dreamlike scenery. Occasionally, fish jumped out of the sea, bringing up a string of crystal water droplets that sparkled like gems in the moonlight.

From the distant island, the chirping of unknown birds could be heard faintly, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet night.

During the flight, Ling Tian was fully focused, constantly adjusting his posture and flexibly avoiding the occasional seabirds and air currents.

Those seabirds flew around in the night without any regularity, and if he wasn't careful, he might collide with them. The air currents were sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, constantly interfering with his flight path.

His body twisted, dived and rose freely in the air, like an elf dancing in the wind.

Every time he adjusted his posture, he showed his precise control of strength and balance. He was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, leaving a trail of blurry afterimages behind him.

The swift figure seemed to tear the darkness apart and rush straight towards the light.

Soon, Ling Tian followed the guidance of the bracelet and arrived above an island. Covered by the night, the island was like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm.

Looking down from the air, it looks like a huge circus, with colorful lights flashing, making the entire island look like a dream.

The lights, bright or dim, red or green, intertwined together to form a colorful picture.

Various peculiar buildings are scattered across the island.

Some buildings are shaped like huge tents, towering into the clouds, with gorgeous colorful flags decorated on the top; some are like carousels, constantly changing colors and shapes; and some are like huge animal shapes, lifelike, making people feel as if they are in a fantasy world.

"This really fits the style of that guy Bucky." Ling Tian couldn't help but sigh. There was a hint of smile and familiar intimacy in his voice.

He flew slowly downwards, as gracefully and smoothly as a light feather.

During the descent, he carefully observed everything on the island, his heart full of anticipation and curiosity. Finally, his feet landed firmly on the ground, the ground shook slightly, and a small cloud of dust was raised.
