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

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and each step he took was just right, showing an elegant yet powerful temperament.

His eyes were always fixed on Vander Decken in front of him. There was no hesitation or fear in his eyes, only firm determination and confidence in victory.

As Ling Tian walked out from the darkness, his figure gradually appeared in the sunlight.

Vander Decken finally spotted Ling Tian. At that moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of astonishment. He was startled at first, and his body trembled slightly as if he had been electrocuted, and his feet unconsciously took a small step back.

He seemed to be startled by Ling Tian's sudden appearance, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. His breathing also became rapid, and a slight cry came from his throat.

But soon, Vanderdecken realized that he could not show cowardice in front of this stranger. He forced himself to calm down, and a fierce expression appeared on his face again, trying to use this expression to cover up his inner anxiety.

He clenched his teeth, curled his lips, frowned, and stared at Ling Tian fiercely, as if he wanted to repel Ling Tian with his eyes. He held the axe tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

The moment he saw Ling Tian, ​​Vander Decken threw the huge axe in his hand towards Ling Tian without hesitation. The axe spun rapidly in the air, the axe blade flashing with cold light and making a whirring sound, as if it was going to split Ling Tian in two.

The axe cut through the air, causing the surrounding airflow to become turbulent, forming tiny cyclones.

A crazy smile appeared on Vander Decken's face, and he shouted: "No matter who you are, don't try to stop me!" His voice was full of madness and determination, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.

When Ling Tian saw this scene, he just raised his hand lightly, his face expressionless, as if everything before him was within his expectations.

His eyes were as calm as water, without the slightest panic or fear. He said softly, "Finger gun." Then, a gas bullet was fired from Ling Tian's finger.

The air bullet was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning streaking through the air. It was so fast that it was almost impossible for the human eye to catch it, leaving only a blurry trail of light and shadow in the air.

Wherever the gas bomb passed, the air seemed to be ignited instantly, forming a short white air flow channel. The surrounding air pressure also changed drastically due to its high-speed movement, forming circles of air ripples visible to the naked eye that spread out in all directions.

It carried an unstoppable momentum, like a cannonball fired from a gun, shooting straight towards the huge axe.

The moment the gas bomb touched the giant axe, there was a loud "bang", and the sound was like thunder, echoing across the sea.

In an instant, a powerful impact force exploded in all directions with the contact point as the center, forming a powerful energy wave. Under the impact of this force, the huge axe was instantly broken into pieces.

The fragments flew everywhere like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Some fragments fell into the sea at an extremely high speed, splashing huge water splashes that were several meters high and sparkling with crystal light under the sunlight.

Some of them were scattered all over the ship, making small holes in the worn-out planks, making "bang bang" sounds. Some smaller fragments were even embedded in the wooden boards of the hull, showing how great the impact was.

Vanderdecken couldn't help swallowing when he saw this. His throat rolled and he made a clear swallowing sound, as if he wanted to swallow the shock in his heart.

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, filled with shock and fear. The original madness and confidence in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by endless fear and confusion.

His mouth was slightly open, but no sound came out. He just stood there blankly, his body as if frozen, at a loss for a moment.

His hands were still in the same position as when he threw the axe, frozen in the air, as if time had stopped at that moment.

Although he is a pirate, he actually stays on Fishman Island most of the time, so he knows nothing about the strong people outside.

In the relatively closed environment of Fishman Island, he always believed that his abilities and strength were enough to allow him to do whatever he wanted.

He originally thought that his axe attack would pose a threat to Ling Tian. In his opinion, this axe was his powerful weapon, and he had used it to terrify many fishmen.

However, he did not expect that Ling Tian could resolve his attack so easily. This was completely beyond his imagination.

Seeing this, Ling Tian knew that he had to fight quickly to avoid any more trouble. His eyes instantly became as sharp as ice blades, revealing a kind of determination and resoluteness.

He knew very well that in this situation, any delay might bring unexpected changes, especially when facing a crazy guy like Vanderdecken. The battle must be ended as soon as possible to ensure that the threat is completely eliminated.

His eyes were stern, and a sharp light flashed across them. In that light, he seemed to have seen the moment when the battle ended and the scene of peace returning to Fishman Island.

Then, Ling Tian flashed like a meteor across the night sky, and used the "Shave" to instantly appear in front of Vander Decken. His speed was as fast as a ghost, almost beyond the limit of what the human eye can capture.

Only a residual shadow was left where he had originally stood, and that residual shadow seemed to still retain his previous breath and momentum, while his real body had appeared in front of Vander Decken like lightning.

The surrounding air was driven by his extreme speed, forming circles of air flow fluctuations that were visible to the naked eye, as if the space was distorted by his high-speed movement.

Before Vander Decken could recover from the shock of Ling Tian's ability to resolve the axe attack, Ling Tian's fist had already swung out with a whistling sound.

The fist cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, like an angry roar, carrying Ling Tian's powerful strength and determination.

The fist was like a cannonball, carrying endless power, and hit Vanderdecken's cheek with overwhelming force. The moment the fist touched his cheek, the air seemed to be squeezed by this huge force and exploded in all directions, forming a short-lived air wave.

There was a dull and powerful "bang" sound, like a huge rock hitting the ground. Vander Decken didn't even have time to scream before he was knocked unconscious. His body fell limply, lifeless like a puddle of mud.

Ling Tian looked at the unconscious Vander Decken and snorted disdainfully: "With such little ability, you dare to be so presumptuous here." His eyes were full of contempt, and he looked at Vander Decken as if he were an insignificant little character.

He shook his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised, which was a kind of mockery towards the weak. Ling Tian felt that Vander Decken's behavior was both stupid and ridiculous. He was really overestimating his own abilities to try to stir up trouble in Fishman Island with his tiny abilities.
