In the harbor, when Gawain landed, Kuro had already rushed out of the building next to him.
At first glance, Kuro noticed Gawain's torn clothes, which were obviously the marks left by a sword slash.
Although Gawain's defense was not broken, only a few white scratches were left, which made him look extremely embarrassed.
But Kuro knew that this was an extremely dangerous signal.
"Has there been a strong man who can fight you on Gin's side?!"
"I guess so."
Gawain said calmly while holding the sword on his waist with one hand and looking at the distant sea: "Gin met an old guy."
"Because of his age, his swordsmanship, Haki, and physical strength have begun to decline, but his devil fruit ability is a bit tricky, making him as slippery as a loach."
"The other party's devil fruit ability allows him to instantly appear anywhere within a kilometer and can also teleport with others, but it consumes more physical strength accordingly."
Kuro raised his eyebrows.
Such devil fruit ability does not need more description, and he can already feel its abnormality.
But Gawain's appearance here has already explained the result of the battle.
Gawain continued: "But no matter how fast he runs if someone predicts his teleportation point, he's just waiting to die."
"Is it that future sight of yours? Then it's his bad luck."
Gawain smiled, slowly pulled out the Guanze Masamune, and said calmly: "Leave this to me; you retreat first."
Kuro nodded and told Gawain about the battle situation here and the agreement he had reached with Judge.
Gawain naturally had no objection to this.
After all, he solved a big problem and earned a few sets of Germa's Raid Suit for free.
Except for Van Augur's minor injuries, it can almost be said it is an overwhelming victory.
On the other side, Zoro also noticed the movement here, and without hesitation, he immediately carried the unconscious Sanji and retreated to the rear.
Reiju looked at the defense army that was also retreating in the distance and was puzzled for a moment: "Now the situation has just reversed; it is time to expand the advantage and even defeat the pirates in one fell swoop; why retreat?"
Zoro glanced at her, recalled Reiju's attitude towards Sanji just now, and reminded her: "The next battle is not something we can intervene in. Even if we stay here and watch, there is a risk of being affected."
"If you don't want to die, follow me!"
Reiju couldn't help but swallow her saliva and look at Gawain from a distance.
Instantly, she felt the terrifying aura from Gawain, which was like a mountain that made people breathless.
"That guy... Is he stronger than that guy called Kuro?!"
"Kuro can't even take a move in his hands."
"Really?!"
Reiju wanted to ask more.
But Zoro had no time to care. He picked up Sanji and ran to the back at full speed, as if he would encounter some disaster if he was a step slower.
Seeing this, Reiju gritted her teeth, activated her combat boots, and instantly accelerated to chase Zoro's figure.
Halfway, Reiju couldn't help but look back, only to see countless pirates pouring into the harbor like a tide.
They waved their swords and guns and attacked the figure standing in the middle of the harbor.
A roar full of greed and desire came from the crowd.
"Although I don't know why the other side withdrew, as long as we kill this guy now, the Pluton blueprint will be ours!"
"That's right!"
"He is only one person; even if he is a monster in the Marines, he is no match for us!"
"One spit from each of us would drown him!"
The surging crowd instantly submerged Gawain.
From Reiju's perspective, she could even see the flashing artillery fire.
For a moment, she was a little confused in her heart: "Is it okay to do this?!"
"Even someone wearing a Germa 66's Raid Suit, facing such a dense attack, even mixed with swords and artillery, it is only a matter of time before they get hurt."
Facing Reiju's question, Zoro didn't even turn his head and only said one word: "Run!"
Have these people really trusted that man to this extent?!
Reiju followed Zoro closely but looked back from time to time.
The next moment, she saw a scene that shocked her.
Gu!
A grayish-white shock wave spread out from the center, sweeping across the entire harbor like a light curtain.
And not just that, many of the pirate ships moored in the sea were also shaken by the impact, making them constantly sway.
Boom!
A deafening explosion soon followed.
In the distance, only a few people were still standing at the harbor, staring in horror at the man standing in the middle of the encirclement, with wings on his back, looking like a demon.
"What happened?! No, what did that guy do?!"
Some people were confused and felt that their brains were blank and they were about to lose consciousness.
"It's Conqueror's Haki!"
"The Conqueror's Haki, which only one in a million people has, symbolizes the qualifications of a king!"
"This guy is definitely not an unknown person. Who is he? He looks too young. Is he part of the new generation of the Marines?!"
"I don't know. I have never dealt with this guy, but if I don't take him down, I can't get Pluton's blueprint!"
After the initial fear, the rationality of the pirates was once again shattered by their greed for Pluton.
They were confident that even with the cost of lives, they could pile up enough bodies to defeat the man standing in the harbor.
"Kill!"
"He is a human, after all. He will get tired and exhausted. The final winner would be us!"
The crowd surged forward, with countless pirate ships quickly approaching the harbor.
More pirates leaped down from the decks.
They were flushed with excitement, their expressions frenzied as they waved their swords and rushed toward Gawain standing at the harbor.
... ... ...
But Reiju, who was standing in the distance, already understood why Zoro was so confident in Gawain.
There is no overlord who is willing to be inferior to others.
The fact that Gawain can have a follower as terrifying as Kuro can only mean that Gawain is more powerful than the other party.
In comparison, both Judge and the three Vinsmoke brothers are as immature as toddlers.
Too weak! So weak that even Judge's movements of waving his spear seem a little funny.
This is even more true for the pirates, who are far inferior to Judge but are rushing to the harbor at this moment.
At this moment, Reiju understood that although she still didn't know Gawain's limit, there was absolutely no possibility of defeating him with just the pirates present.
This is a true one-man army and pure strength that can crush all opponents.
Reiju was speechless and caught up with Zoro.
The two of them soon moved away from the center of the battlefield.
... ... ...
Under a building, Zoro and Reiju paused here.
After putting Sanji down and injecting him with the antidote, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Reiju couldn't help but look back and look at the battlefield in the distance.
This place is more than three kilometers away from the battlefield, and there are many obstacles in the middle.
Even with Reiju's eyesight, she can't see Gawain's figure clearly.
She can barely see the blue light sweeping across the sea and the silver-white flying slash tearing through the sky.
This scene is almost the same as the end of the world.
Reiju couldn't help asking: "How strong is that guy...?!"
Reiju looked at the blurry scene in the distance; her eyes were a little dazed, but Zoro's answer was only three words: "I don't know."
Reiju was stunned: "You don't know?!"
