One piece : The God Slayer

"But what is the most bizarre thing about this Rono, do you know?" At this moment, John suddenly said.

"What's that?"

Hearing this, Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and Charlotte's curiosity instantly increased, and they stretched out their ears to listen.

"It is rumored that this Rono has a very terrifying talent and can quickly learn other people's techniques!"

"You can even learn them at a glance!"

"Garp's [Iron Fist] was learned by Rono during the battle, so he lost," John said very proudly.

He is very interested in Rono, so he knows Rono's rumors, and the reason for his attention is very simple.

John is a very rich man, and Rono is having trouble with the Celestial Dragons.

John wants to win over Rono because Rono specializes in killing Celestial Dragons, and he follows Rono's lead to pick up some Celestial Dragon's treasure. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

"Learn the enemy's moves in battle? How is that possible!"

When the Golden Lion heard this, he immediately retorted.

Garp's [Iron Fist] was something the Golden Lion had experienced firsthand.

The last time he fought with the Navy, he was punched by Garp, and the wound still ached.

[Iron Fist] is Garp's unique technique, developed after training for a long time. How could it be learned at a glance?

Just like the Golden Lion himself has his own techniques.

The development of slicing waves, dual swordsmanship, Lion, Thousand Cut Valley, and the Float Float no Mi are all moves that have been developed by oneself for a long time.

It is impossible to be learned at a glance; this must be a rumor.

"That's right, the World Government's reports like to exaggerate!"

"This must be a rumor, John, you always like to gossip." Silver Axe and Wang Zhi also felt that John was bragging.

How is it possible that someone can quickly learn other people's techniques?

Can you learn the techniques that others have worked hard to develop for more than ten years?

Are the strong people in the world a joke?

"Hey, there is a banquet in the evening. Shall we try it out? Make a bet by the way?" John smiled.

When I heard this rumor for the first time, I didn't believe it at all.

But I sent someone out to inquire, and this seems to be true.

John realized this was an opportunity to make a fortune.

"Bet? Okay, what do you want to bet?" Golden Lion, Silver Axe, and others were excited when they heard it.

Winning or losing this kind of bet is too easy; this is an opportunity to pick up money.

"How about betting 1 billion Berries? If the rumor is true, give me 1 billion Berries each!"

"If the rumors are false, I will give you 1 billion Berries each!" John said through gritted teeth.

Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe were all startled.

They suspected that the John in front of them was a fake, someone pretending to be him.

After all, why is John, who usually regards money as his life, suddenly so generous?

One bet is 1 billion Berries? This is not a small sum of money.

It is estimated that John has saved so much money for so many years in the Rocks Pirates.

Could this rumor be true?

Everyone immediately became suspicious but immediately shook their heads in denial.

Impossible, how could anyone have the talent to learn moves at a glance?

If they really have such talent, then they don't have to train hard every day for so many years.

"Okay, let's bet. Don't miss out on free money!" Wang Zhi and Silver Axe immediately decided to accept the gamble.

After all, it seemed to them that the money was simply picked up from the ground.

What's more, 1 billion Berries, even for big pirates like them, is not a small sum of money.

"I'll join too, but John, will you have so much money to pay when you lose?"

The Golden Lion also decided to join this gamble, and the 1 billion Berries is not for nothing.

"But he was worried that John didn't have the money to pay the bill.

After all, if each person is 1 billion, it is 3 billion Berries. Does that kid John really have so much money?

Or even if he has it, is he really willing to give it?"

"Don't worry, I won't default on the bill, let alone the three of you all at once. I'm not so stupid."

John assured the Golden Lion.

Hearing that, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi also nodded, thinking that what John said was reasonable.

"It's okay, anyway. If you dare to default on your account, you won't have to think about going out to rob and split the account in the future."

Silver Axe said confidently, knowing John's strength.

Not to mention that the three of them joined forces; it would take a lot of effort for him to fight the Golden Lion.

When the time comes, if he really dares to default on his debt, he will just wait for the consequences, and he will not fantasize about splitting the spoils in the future.

"If that's the case, then it's settled." John felt that he would give it a try, believing the news brought back by his subordinates.

After the agreement, a few of them walked to the banquet venue together.

Soon the Golden Lion and Silver Axe arrived at the designated location.

At a glance, Captain Rocks, Team 1 Captain Whitebeard, and that [The God Slayer] Rono were already seated.

After arriving at the banquet venue, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, and others saw Rocks, Whitebeard, and Rono already seated at a glance.

After a few of them greeted Rocks and Whitebeard, they kept looking at Rono.

No way, the rumors about Rono were too strange, and they were also very curious.

What's more, it was about today's game.

"The Conqueror's Haki is at least on par with Whitebeard's."

After observing for a while, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, and others came to this conclusion.

He was really powerful, able to match the monster Whitebeard at less than 20 years old.

You know, Whitebeard is the second-in-command of the Rocks Pirates, and his strength is second only to Rocks himself.

With such strength, it was only natural to be so highly valued by Captain Rocks.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet."

"To celebrate Rono's joining, I specially held this banquet today."

Rocks took the lead in toasting, and the other cadres also toasted to Rocks.

"Drink as much as you like, play as much as you want, and party as much as you like!"

Then Rocks announced the start of the banquet, and everyone rejoiced.

"Twenty plates of barbecue! Rice cakes and vegetables are also served on twenty plates!"

"Thirty more plates of that sea king's meat from earlier!"

"Where's the wine? Fifty more jars of wine are not enough at all!"

The people present were all pirates, and they all had amazing appetites, starting with 20 servings.

I have to say that the Rocks Pirates are also rich, and a banquet for tens of thousands of people will cost 1 billion Berries at least once.

However, every time the Rocks Pirates target a rich country or heavenly tribute, 1 billion Berries is not a lot of money.

During the banquet, the Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and others had also been waiting for an opportunity.

How to find an excuse to test the truth of the rumors?

Unfortunately, they never found this opportunity.

At this moment, Whitebeard gave them such an opportunity.

I saw that Whitebeard suddenly approached Rocks, his face slightly drunk, and said to Rocks with a smile:

"Captain, I recommend Rono to be the captain of the squadron. With his strength, he is absolutely qualified for the position of captain."

"I saw him fight [Iron Fist] Garp with my own eyes; he defeated Garp!"

Whitebeard patted his chest and assured this was also his original agreement with Rono.

Hearing this, the pirates present stopped their carnival and were stunned.

As soon as he got on the ship, he wanted to be the captain of the squadron?

And he was personally recommended by Captain Whitebeard!

Wouldn't it be great after that!

This Rono's life is too good, too enviable!

"Oh? If he really beat Garp, then he is indeed capable of being the squad leader." Hearing that, Rocks also agreed.

He cherished talent, and Rocks had already seen Rono's potential when he saw him for the first time.

This also gave Rocks a general judgment of Rono's strength.
