370 Roger Pirates Apprentice
🕑 Added 2025-12-02 06:11:01 +0000 UTCWhat kind of scene was that??
Behind the man who lowered his head to light a cigarette, it was like the descent of a mechanical deity, radiating a cold metallic glint.
Standing nearly a hundred meters tall, although not as massive as the trees that make up the Sabaody Archipelago, it was high enough for people in the surrounding areas to see the magnificent spectacle here.
Confused by the sudden shadow cast over them, they subconsciously looked towards the direction blocking the light.
Then, as if witnessing a god, pitch-black clouds loomed overhead, with black and red lightning faintly flickering across its surface.
It was a mechanical creation far larger than even a giant.
Kid was dumbfounded.
With his hillbilly imagination and limited knowledge, he thought the coolest giant robot in the world would be nothing more than a head attached to two mechanical arms.
But the thing before his eyes clearly exceeded his imagination.
Three heads and six arms, a mechanical deus ex machina looking down on the world. Even if he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed the coolest mechanical creation he had ever seen.
As the creator, Orin didn't even turn back to look. He simply conjured a chair out of nowhere,
Crossing his legs, he casually flipped through news about the other Supernovas, seemingly having completely forgotten about the enemy in front of him.
This scene instantly enraged Kid, who had prepared himself to fight with full force, to the point of near death.
"Hey!!! Don't look down on people! You don't think you can defeat the Kid Pirates just by relying on this clumsy big guy, do you?!!
Fight me seriously!!!"
Kid admitted that the gigantic robot in front of him was indeed handsome beyond measure,
But its massive size meant its agility would definitely be hindered. As long as the Kid Pirates seized the opening, they could rush to the man in front of it.
But seeing Orin calmly reading the newspaper, he felt he was being looked down upon.
Especially Orin's next sentence, which made him instantly turn red with rage and lose his cool!!!
Orin, perhaps hearing his shout, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with apparent indifference:
"Have you ever seen an adult go all out against a child? Hmph... just a bunch of low-level pirates~"
"What did you say?!!!"
Kid indeed snapped instantly. He flew forward,
Raising a mechanical arm, he lifted one hand high, intending to slap down heavily and crush the man before him into meat paste.
"I'd like to see if this clumsy robot can save you!!!"
But in that very instant, the world seemed to freeze.
The Susanoo behind Orin, its six eyes simultaneously erupting with red light, moved its two hands closest to its waist.
Both hands reached forward, and a giant steel sword instantly appeared in its grip.
"Useless..."
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
An instantaneous draw-cut.
As if to slice the world apart, a slash spanning a thousand meters instantly emerged from its hand.
While severing the mechanical arm, the momentum did not diminish. It continued to fly into the distance, cutting the Yarukiman Mangroves that made up the Sabaody Archipelago right in half at the waist.
One strike to crush the enemy. The Susanoo sheathed its blade and continued to stand quietly behind Orin.
The entire sequence of movements was completed in an instant, leaving only Kid in mid-air, missing an arm, eyes rolled back white as he plummeted downwards.
Everyone who witnessed this scene looked as if they wanted to tear their mouths apart, their jaws dropped wide open, unable to recover their senses for a long time.
This simply challenged their worldview!!!
"Kid!!!"
"Captain!!!!!"
The members of the Kid Pirates took a good while to react before rushing to catch Kid from the air.
Killer looked at the unconscious Kid he had caught, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Looking again at Orin, who was calmly reading intelligence reports and had never been serious from start to finish, an endless sense of despair rose in his heart.
How could the gap between their worlds be this wide?!!
"Is it not clear yet???" (Madara's voice)
Orin said without lifting his head, elegantly turning a page in his hand.
"The Pirate King or whatever... has absolutely nothing to do with brats like you."
Apoo's legs were trembling. He just wanted to run away now.
But every time he left a certain range, his body would automatically return to its original position.
He had also thought about using his sound wave attacks to interfere with the opponent, but for some reason, in the end, the sonic boom would only appear on himself.
The sound resonated, nearly vibrating him to death.
Among the Supernovas present, only Killer had not yet knelt.
He was silent for a moment, then handed the Kid he was holding over to a crew member. Disregarding the crew's concerns, he walked straight up to Orin.
"Maybe you are indeed very strong, but..."
"Kid is the man who will become the Pirate King!!!"
The blades in his hands spun continuously as he charged straight at Orin. Orin saw a shadow of Zoro in him.
It was just a pity that the other party didn't have that destiny.
"...Childish hot-bloodedness."
Orin stood up and stretched a long lazy stretch, seemingly waiting for Killer to come and cut him in half at the waist.
All the onlookers broke into a cold sweat.
Because that frenzied Killer and the rapidly spinning blades looked terrifying to them.
An ordinary person would probably be cut directly into two pieces!!!
"Got him!!!"
Killer thought so too. He felt the opponent was being too arrogant, neither dodging nor defending, as if letting him cut at will.
Pay for your carelessness with your life, [Black Spear]!!!
Only in the next moment,
A sense of unreality instantly made him feel something was wrong.
It seemed...
He didn't hit anything solid?
How is this possible?!!
The blade passed straight through the waist, yet it seemed to meet no resistance at all. Orin remained nonchalant, one hand on his chin as if thinking about something.
"Just happened to get hungry. Should I go to the tavern? Bonney seems to be there too."
Orin was pondering, while Killer was slashing frantically in front of him, but like an impotent, raging child, he couldn't hit him at all.
"No time to play with you. Step aside."
Holding the intelligence report in one hand and looking at the tavern location on it, Orin thought about the planned route.
His other hand casually reached out, making a gesture of flicking a finger against a forehead.
With a casual flick of a finger, the technique of Rokushiki — Rankyaku was used by his finger, instantly forming a slash several meters long.
Killer was instantly knocked to the ground, his defeat even more abrupt than Kid's.
...
On the other side,
Donquixote Family Auction House.
Charlos and the others, who were about to enter, heard bursts of roaring sounds coming from the distance. However, hindered by the large area of the island and the blocking tree trunks, they didn't know what had happened.
"Don't worry about that much, I heard there's a mermaid in this auction!!!"
"Nowadays, because of Orin-sama, many slave-catching ships don't dare to go to Fish-Man Island anymore. Mermaids caught on the continent like this are too rare. I must buy her!!!"
