Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 135

Somewhere on the Grand Line.

"Ron..."

Wearing a black cloak and with two long swords hanging at her left waist, Kuina was somewhat shaken after seeing the latest reports from yesterday and today, but more than anything, she was worried about Ron.

"This time, I must stand by your side and face the danger together..."

She thought to herself and immediately set off for Beihai.

…………

Donghai, Rogge Town.

Inside a tavern.

"It really is that Ron?!"

Having just arrived here and formed the Spade Pirates, Ace looked at Ron's photo in the newspaper with a face full of surprise.

It has been six years since they parted ways with Ron in Windmill Town, and during that time they only learned a little about things from Karp.

Ace looked at the newspaper in his hand, his voice tinged with respect and emotion:

"Your first bounty is 430 million Berries directly from the World Government... You're something else!"

He is still unknown, while Ron is already famous throughout the world!

For Ace right now, the goal he needs to catch up with is very clear.

That was Ron!

Today, that goal has become even clearer.

Ace closed his eyes, and it seemed as if he could see himself in complete darkness.

Ahead of a glowing road, a figure in black stood with his back to him.

Just how strong have you become?

The same tavern.

Not far from Ace, Smoker, the white hunter dressed in plain clothes, sat at the counter, smoking a cigar and reading a newspaper, with a glass of praline beside him.

"Just because of this... you put a bounty of 430 million on that guy and officially list him as an enemy of our navy?!"

A flash of resentment crossed Smoker's eyes.

Isn't this forcing him to confront the Navy head-on?!

What are those guys at headquarters thinking?!

Smoker was unaware that this was a direct order from the World Government.

…………

Akainu and Garp set off from Marineford, and the six warships crossed the Calm Belt, heading towards the North Sea.

Let a Navy Headquarters admiral and Navy hero Vice Admiral Garp team up to capture him!

This news further boosted Ron the Traveler's fame.

Whether it's the Seven Warlords of the Sea or the Four Emperors of the New World, they all began to take this guy named Ron seriously.

Nico Robin, the demon of Ohara, has also attracted considerable attention and interest from some, such as the Big Mom Pirates, who possess the red road sign.

“If this guy named Ron manages to escape from Akainu and Garp, then you’d better go and invite him to my ship.”

Big Mom said this to the three generals.

"Whether it's Ron or Nico Robin... I want them both!"

Besides Big Mom, the other three emperors also intended to win over this rising power.

of course.

All of this is contingent on Ron being able to escape from Akainu and Garp!

If he can survive this ordeal, then everyone will acknowledge that a powerful figure surpassing even the Supernovas and comparable to a top-tier Shichibukai has been born!

And this powerful individual is now... 17 years old!

If he were to venture into the Grand Line or even the New World again, whether he chose to join one side or form an alliance with another, it would likely immediately throw the newly stabilized situation into chaos once more.

At this moment, everyone on the high seas is watching with bated breath, waiting for the latest news from the North Sea.

………………

At this moment, the Beihai Sea was a quiet expanse of water shrouded in dark clouds.

The Voyager is moving slowly.

"Has the captain not come out yet?"

Connie looked around the room, somewhat worried.

Three days have passed since that amazing battle ended.

Ron, covered in wounds, returned to his house immediately after getting back on the ship and hasn't come out yet.

Robin stroked his chin, his brow furrowed: "Could it be that he was injured in that great battle?"

"It's not surprising that he got injured, after all, his opponent was that legendary pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion."

With her pink, wavy hair and heart-shaped lipstick, Bonnie, a young woman, stood to the side with her arms crossed and spoke in a deep voice.

Recalling the terrifying seven-day battle in the sky, a look of lingering fear crept onto her face.

"I hope Master will be alright."

Xiaoqi said worriedly.

"Silky".

After eating the Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, the cloud fox Sisi, which grew larger and sprouted wings, squatted down next to Conis and called out towards the room.

Connie reached out and stroked its fluffy head, whispering, "Everything will be alright, he's our captain."

……

Inside Ron's house.

The black-haired boy, shirtless, sat on the ground with his eyes closed, his expression calm and composed.

The muscles in his upper body are well-proportioned and refined, with perfect lines.

As he practiced the Sun Breathing Technique, his muscles rhythmically relaxed and tensed.

As the vast amount of blood and energy within his body continuously washed over and refined his muscles, wisps of white heat rose from his body.

Ron's horrific injuries had been fully healed by healing magic the day after the battle ended.

The reason he hasn't gone out yet is because he's still absorbing and digesting the enormous results of that battle!

Shiki the Golden Lion truly lives up to his legendary status as a pirate. Even though he disappeared from the seas for over twenty years, his strength remains undeniably formidable.

A great swordsman, possessing powerful three types of Haki and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit.

Ron was initially completely dominated by him.

Even with all their might, they could not suppress Shiki's offensive and were badly beaten for a period of time.

However, as the battle dragged on, Ron's physical advantage over Shiki the Golden Lion became apparent.

In addition, there's the Sun Breathing Technique, which can quickly restore physical strength, and a healing technique that can be used once a day.

One's strength decreased due to physical exhaustion, while the other grew stronger with each battle.

After realizing this, Shiki the Golden Lion considered retreating, but Ron held him back tightly.

After seven days of fierce fighting, Ron's swordsmanship finally broke through to the level of a great swordsman, thus securing the victory.

It can be said that Ron largely relied on his superior physique and stamina to wear down Shiki the Golden Lion.

It's hard to imagine how Luffy, who was only using Gear Third in the original work, managed to defeat this guy.

The protagonist's plot armor is just too overpowered...

"Finally, it's completely digested."

Ron slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a smile in them.

For Ron, the gains and improvements from this seven-day life-or-death battle with Shiki the Golden Lion far outweighed those from his battle with Aokiji.

First, in swordsmanship, he successfully reached the realm of cutting through iron (mastery), and through the Golden Lion's slash, he comprehended the breath of all things, reaching the level of a great swordsman.

Secondly, his physical skills have become more refined, and after unlocking the Level 3 Ultimate Power, his control over the sudden increase in power has become increasingly skillful and adept.

After defeating Shiki, his Conqueror's Haki reached level 4.

The Golden Lion's two famous swords, Sakura Ju and Mokuro, also fell into his hands.

And besides these...

Ron, who was sitting on the floor, touched the floor beneath him with his finger.

Suddenly, I felt an indescribable feeling.

It seemed as if he could make the ship float immediately if he wanted to!
