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

That breath was like a sharp needle that pierced into their keen intuition, instantly triggering their already tense nerves.

Almost at the same time, they all turned their heads, their movements as fast as lightning. Their eyes were as sharp as lightning, like two cold and shining blades, shooting straight in the direction of Ling Tian.

There was anger and vigilance burning in those eyes, as if he wanted to see through Ling Tian and understand all his intentions.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" Sandasonia's clear yet sharp voice broke the silence, like an alarm suddenly ringing in the night sky.

Her snake-like body arched slightly, and her tail rose high with lightning speed. The scales on her tail flashed coldly in the sunlight, making her an extremely intimidating attack posture.

Her body leaned forward slightly, like a python ready to pounce on its prey.

Marigorude's body, as strong as an iron tower, took a solid and powerful step forward. Every step she took was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, making a dull sound and shaking the fallen leaves around her rustling.

The huge Guandao in her hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight, like the scythe of the god of death. She suddenly pointed the Guandao in the direction of Ling Tian, ​​and the momentum seemed to split the space in front of her in half.

Her deep eyes were burning with hostility, like two balls of angry flames, staring straight at Ling Tian as if to devour him.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to come close you will die!" Her voice was low and majestic, like the muffled sound of an ancient bell, echoing in the clearing in the forest.

There was an unquestionable momentum in that voice, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hammering hard at the hearts of everyone present, making the surrounding air seem to tremble with this majesty.

The Nine Snakes' guards were already in a state of high alert. After hearing the noise here, they immediately surrounded like agile cheetahs.

They were well-trained and moved in unison, holding a variety of weapons in their hands, including sharp swords, pointed spears and peculiarly shaped scimitars.

They quickly spread out and surrounded Ling Tian, ​​forming an airtight circle. Everyone's eyes were full of vigilance and aggression, like a pack of wolves staring at their prey.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the clearing in the woods of this mysterious island was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, as if the string would break as soon as the slightest breeze blew, triggering a fierce conflict.

Sandasonia and Marygorude were facing a formidable enemy. Their eyes, which were already extremely vigilant, were now like being attracted by a magnet, tightly locked on the direction where Ling Tian appeared.

There was a cold light flashing in Sandasonia's snake-like eyes. She bent her body slightly, and her snake tail swayed restlessly behind her, as if it was about to shoot out in the next second and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Marygorude clenched the Guandao in her hand tightly, veins bulged on her thick arms, her feet were firmly on the ground, every muscle was tense, and a powerful oppressive force emanated from her whole body, like a volcano about to erupt. As long as the enemy made the slightest movement, they would be overwhelmed by her overwhelming force.

Ling Tian, ​​who was not far away, felt the unbearable gazes of Sonya and Gorudo, and he realized that he had been discovered.

He looked calm and walked out slowly from behind the tree, like a king emerging from the mist.

Each of his steps was steady and calm. The fallen leaves under his feet were gently pressed, making a slight "rustling" sound, but there was no sign of panic at all.

Each step he took was accompanied by a unique confidence, a temperament that had been precipitated after experiencing countless hardships and dangers, as if he was not in this tense atmosphere where swords were drawn and ready to explode, but was strolling in his own garden. The dangers around him were like passing clouds and smoke to him, unable to shake him at all.

When Marygorude's sharp eyes saw that the person coming was Ling Tian, ​​her eyes, which were originally full of hostility and seemed to be able to freeze people, changed instantly.

Her expression, which was originally as tense as steel, was like the hardest ice and snow in winter. The moment she knew the person coming was Ling Tian, ​​it quickly melted and disintegrated as if encountering a warm spring breeze.

That serious face was like a dark cloud penetrated by the sunlight, replaced by an expression of uncontrollable surprise. The surprise overflowed from her eyes, lighting up her entire face like bright stars.

"It's Mr. Ling Tian!" She shouted excitedly, her voice full of excitement and joy, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing layers of joyful ripples.

The shout echoed in the woods, breaking the previous tense atmosphere.

Along with this shout, the Guandao in her hand, which was originally pointed at Ling Tian as if facing a formidable enemy, slowly dropped down. The dull sound of the Guandao colliding with the ground seemed like the bell that marked the end of this tense confrontation.

Sanda Sonya's snake-like body, which was originally like a sharp arrow ready to be launched, gradually relaxed. Her vigilant eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of joy, as if she had seen a close friend who had been away for a long time.

Her snake-like body was no longer tense, and her slightly arched back straightened, showing a relaxed posture. Her snake tail was also gently lowered, and the colorful scales on the tail shone with a soft luster in the sun.

The snake's tail swayed slightly on the ground, as if expressing her inner joy in a unique way, and the rhythm of the swaying was like a cheerful dance beat.

"It's really you, Mr. Ling Tian, ​​long time no see!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the first cry of a bird in the woods in the early morning, with a hint of excitement.

That voice carried the feeling of the expectation of reunion finally coming true, and every syllable was leaping with notes of joy, spreading in the air, making the surrounding atmosphere warm and cheerful.

Ling Tian looked at them, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile as gentle as the warm sun.

"Yeah, long time no see. Are you all okay?" Ling Tian's voice was gentle and kind, like a clear mountain spring flowing in the air, carrying the warmth of a long-lost reunion.

As he spoke, he walked towards them with steady and calm steps. Each step seemed to carry an invisible force, an aura of confidence and friendship, which made the atmosphere around them more relaxed.

When Marygorude heard Ling Tian's greeting, she suddenly burst into a hearty laugh. The laughter was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the woods and startling a group of birds perched on the branches.

She walked forward with a loud laugh, her sturdy body carrying a heroic aura, and every step she took was solid and powerful, as if the earth was shaking with her footsteps.

"Haha, we are all fine!" Her smile was as bright as the scorching sun in the sky, and her eyes were full of curiosity, which was as hot as a burning flame.
