Chapter 7: Hacksaw Pirates
In the endless sea, a lonely pirate ship slowly cut through the waves, and under the wind blowing, it sailed far away.
On the top of the mast hung a black flag, a skeleton mark with blood dripping from the corner of its mouth was on the flag, and behind the skeleton were two long objects that looked like saws, which looked a little funny.
This ship was undoubtedly a pirate ship, which was not a strange thing. After all, this was a new world, and the pirate ship was really common. Here, the pirates were like fish crossing the river, and every year there would be a large number of overconfident young men rushing into this cemetery to challenge the position of the Yonko.
This pirate group was such a pirate group, and just came to this more magnificent and powerful new world from the first half of the great trade route called paradise.
This ship was not small, there were about a hundred people on the top, it was not crowded at all, this size of the pirates was still normal.
In fact, the pirates like straw hats were abnormal. There were only a dozen people in total. For the giants like the Yonko, they were too small. So Luffy's purpose was to become the most free person in the sea, not to become a big pirate like the Yonko.
There was a banquet on the ship, the atmosphere was harmonious.
A tall man with a big glass in his hand smiled unscrupulously: "Hahahaha! The new world is not as terrifying as the rumors say!"
Just before, this pirate group led by this man just defeated another pirate group and took everything from the other side. Now is the time to celebrate.
"Yes, before entering the new world, I always heard those people say how terrible the new world is, how powerful the Yonko are, and how strong the pirates of the New Era are. Now it seems that it is just so!"
A pirate with a bone in his hand, with a glass of wine in one hand, poured it into his mouth and shouted.
"Hahahahaha!"
"That's right, hahaha!"
"It's just that those people are timid!"
"We are different, okay!"
Many pirates laughed. They were very optimistic about their future. After all, they had not encountered any setbacks since they entered the Grandline. They rushed into the new world. In the first half of the new world, they were also known as supernovas. Their strength was not bad.
"The captain's bounty has increased again!"
A pirate shouted.
"Yes, a full 280 million Berry, as expected of the captain!" Someone sighed.
"Two hundred and eighty million, the level of this bounty is also outstanding in the new world!" A pirate said.
"Yes, that is not twenty-eight million, that is two hundred and eighty million, a real big pirate, okay?" Someone agreed.
The big man, the captain of this pirate ship, waved his hand and said modestly, "The experts of the new world are as numerous as clouds. Although I can be considered strong, there are still many shortcomings!"
"Captain is too modest!" Someone laughed wildly.
"That's right, even if the new world is strong, how strong can it be?" Someone said.
"That's right. Aren't we also tyrannical in the park? Only those Shichibukai can be said to be stronger than us. How many new worlds can be compared with those seven martial seas?"
"That's right, the Shichibukai is one of the three major forces. It is a powerful force that is on par with the Marine headquarter and the Yonko!"
As soon as he said this, there was a wave of echoing voices.
"Yes, we are the pirates who escaped from one of the Shichibukai under the king! There aren't many people in the new world who can beat us, right?"
"What do you mean escape? It was clearly us who forced Jinbe back, it was the captain who used his strength to make Jinbe not dare to chase him!" Someone was dissatisfied with his companion's words.
He was overestimating himself too much.
"Yes, yes, yes. We were clearly the ones who forced the Shichibukai back!"
"Does that mean we already have the combat strength of the Shichibukai level?" Someone suddenly said.
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and then there was a burst of noise.
"Of course!"
"The Shichibukai is just an empty name. Compared to the captain, it is just so-so!"
"That's right, the Shichibukai is just like that! We are not afraid at all!"
"Our goal is only the Yonko, okay!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Someone coughed.
"What's wrong?"
"Hahahaha, it's nothing. I'm getting sick from laughing!" The man replied.
"Right? You also think that the Yonko are just so-so, right?"
"Hahahaha! That's right, that's right, what are the Yonko? They are just four cowards who don't dare to go any further!" The man laughed.
"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right, the Yonko aren't that great. Our Iron saw pirates will sooner or later tear them off the throne!" The pirates were full of ambition.
"Hahahaha! That's right, that's right. Sooner or later, I will take them off the throne. After all, it is a new era now! Those old guys should have left long ago!"
"Wahahahaha!"
Looking at this young man with black hair and black eyes, who was handsome and extraordinary, holding a roast chicken in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, eating and laughing, the pirate suddenly felt strange.
"Eh? Who are you? Why do you look so unfamiliar to me?"
"Me? Me?" The young man said, "My name is Vlad. I'm a newcomer!"
"A newcomer?" The pirate gladly accepted this reason, "Oh, so it's a newcomer, then there's no problem. I was wondering why you looked a little strange, but it turns out you are a newcomer!"
"Wahahahaha!"
Vlad raised the bottle in the light and laughed, "Everyone, let's have a toast for the captain's hegemony!"
As soon as he said this, everyone cheered!
"Cheers!!"
"Oh!"
"Long live the captain!"
"The Hacksaw pirates are the strongest!"
"The strongest!"
The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Vlad was mixed in the crowd and no one recognized that he was not from this ship. It was enough. How did this kind of pirate break through the paradise? It was said that he escaped from the hands of Jinbe. Although Jinbe was a fish in the continent, his combat power was still a real Shichibukai. It was enough for this kind of trash to escape from his hands.
"Captain, when did you become a Yonko?!" Vlad suddenly shouted.
After a short silence, the crowd surged.
"Yes, Captain, since we are already on par with Shichibukai, I am afraid that only the Yonko can let us challenge this new world!" A pirate said.
"Yes, that should be enough! We can charge towards the position of the Four Emperors!"
"That's right, the Four Emperors are just a force on par with the Shichibukai. We are not afraid at all!"
"Silence!"
The captain of the big man shouted loudly, and the deck suddenly quieted down. "It's still a little early!"
