Kyros nodded his head and stepped forward with his big sword. His Color of Arms Haki instantly covered the big sword, turning it pitch black.
When he was trained by Reborn, his most notable improvement was his combat skills and Color of Arms Haki. It was unknown whether it was due to talent or not, but Kyros' Color of Observation Haki barely improved.
"Although I don't know whose order you take, you are my enemy since you want to attack Dressrosa! I will give you one last chance. Do you want to surrender, or do you want to die by my blade?"
Kyros had no intention of catching them off guard. He approached them from the front and still offered them a chance.
This alerted the pirates. More than 30 pirates took out their weapons and looked at Kyros menacingly. The leader of the pirates also recognized the man in front of him at a glance. The look on his face changed, and he said coldly, "The Captain of the Dressrosa Royal Army, known as the undefeated gladiator, Kyros. You want to challenge us alone? I admit that you're pretty strong, but you're getting ahead of yourself if you think you can deal with all of us by yourself! I am a super rookie called Warblade Mokoron, and my bounty is 85 million!"
Mokoron must be pretty strong, considering he was able to come to the New World. In addition, they managed to get past the Fighting Fish and reached Green Bit. The reward of 85 million certainly lived up to that, but...
Wasn't this year's super rookie too weak? Could someone with an 85 million Belly be considered a super rookie?
During Luffy's days, Zoro already had a 120 million Belly bounty, and he was only a second-in-command. This guy called Mokoron was a Captain, and he was proud of having an 85 million Belly bounty?
In the New World, pirates with that amount of bounty were everywhere.
Oh, so this person is Warblade Mokoron? So that's all an 85 million bounty got, huh? I thought they'd be at least as strong as Crowley and Enel since they have the same bounty."
Because Aria had been helping with various paperwork and information, she knew about this year's super rookie to some extent. When she saw the bounty, she thought that this person called Mokoron was around Crowley's level even if he was a little weaker. But now, it seemed that either Crowley or Enel could easily defeat this so-called Warblade Mokoron!
"Although one's bounty reflects strength, it is not absolute," Giotto said softly at this time.
If bounty truly reflects one's strength, Enel and Crowley's bounty should be higher than 80 million. However, the two of them rarely carried out missions alone, so not much was known about their strength, and they were pretty much unnoticed.
"It seems that you are not going to surrender. In that case, here I come!"
Kyros immediately held the handle of his sword with both hands and rushed toward more than 30 pirates. Although he used a sword, he was not a swordsman, so his moves were purely for killing.
The skills that he learned from Reborn were mainly the way to kill enemies. As a gladiator, winning and taking the enemies' lives was his forte.
The Warblade Mokoron didn't move at this moment. He simply waved his hand, and the pirates behind him immediately rushed charged toward Kyros. Even though he only had 30 men, each of them was a capable combatant.
However, his men certainly couldn't hold a candle against a truly strong opponent!
"Whoossh!"
A strong gust of wind was created with each swing of his sword. Kyros would aim at the enemies' vital spot. Even if the enemy managed to react, it would be too hasty and not enough to defend from his powerful strength.
He killed an opponent with each swing of his sword. In terms of pure strength, he easily overwhelmed his opponent!
"Not bad, as expected of Dressrosa's Royal Army Captain, but if that's all you got, you will die here today!"
At this time, Mokoron suddenly pulled out a long sword from his waist and directly sent a slash wave at Kyros. However, his comrades were also in this slash wave's range! In other words, he used his comrades to block Kyros' vision, intending to kill Kyros along with his own men!
Seeing this scene, Giotto could not help but frown. This kind of guy was a very disgusting one, even among the pirates. He used his own subordinate as a tool and completely disregarded their lives!
Kyros reacted quickly. As he dodged the pirate's attack, he blocked Mokoron's slash wave with his sword. However, some pirates around him were split into two by their Captain's slash wave...
"A bastard who doesn't even hesitate to cast away his comrades!" When Kyros saw this scene, he instantly became angry. The reason why he committed crimes in the past was because of his attachment to his friend. He naturally could not forgive this guy who killed his comrades in order to win.
In an instant, Dying Will Ring in his hand was ignited with Sun Flame. His aura changed drastically, and the muscles on his arms bulged.
"Boss, can I?"
At this time, Kuina suddenly looked at Giotto and said with a serious face, "That scum turns out to be a swordsman. Unforgivable!"
"Are you sure?" Giotto asked softly.
"If I can't even deal with that weak-ass sword technique, then I'm not worthy of being Master Ugetsu's disciple!" Kuina, who was only nine years old, now had the aura of a true swordsman, and her eyes were filled with determination and confidence.
After thinking for a moment, Giotto agreed to Kuina's request. "Then go! but I'll immediately step in if you're in danger!"
