In this world, the strength of a person is greatly affected by his spirit.
For example, Crocodile had a record of tying with Barrett, but after losing to Whitebeard, Crocodile fell into depravity and chose to pursue external strength, and finally lost to Luffy who had just set out to sea.
In this sea, pirates have three deaths.
The first death is to lose their dreams and choose to go with the flow.
The second death is the cessation of heartbeat and the demise of the body.
The third death is to be forgotten by this sea.
Monger, who disbanded the fleet, was equivalent to dying once as a pirate. At that time, not only was his body the weakest, but also his fighting spirit was the weakest.
Subconsciously, he would choose a fighting method with a higher chance of winning.
Whether he is despicable or unscrupulous, when facing the Blood Skull Pirates, he would rather use the terrain advantages brought by a small island to defeat each pirate group head-on than to fight a pirate group head-on.
If it weren't for the system, he would not choose to face the Blood Skull Pirates head-on in the end.
But after awakening the Conqueror's Haki, Monger understood one thing.
The more a person chooses to hesitate, the weaker he becomes.
So-called domineering.
"Only by defeating the enemy in an upright manner can one become strong!"
Monger's knife slashed down, and even though Rona blocked it in time, the powerful blow still broke Rona's shoulder blade, leaving a hideous wound on the beautiful female navy.
"Jingliu!"
The crimson knife light once again soared into the air, but this time it was not an attack.
It was a repel.
"Oh, you really don't know how to be gentle with women."
Rona's mouth and nose were full of blood. Even with such a big wound on her shoulder, she still had a smile on her face.
"This will leave scars."
"Haha, if you say so, I have more scars than you."
Monger laughed. Rona's injuries were terrible, but his injuries were not much worse. If it weren't for the amazing recovery ability of the mythical beast species, his blood would have been drained.
"Don't you men always say that scars are a man's medal?"
"How is that possible? I'm not a masochist."
"Haha."
Rona sheathed the knife and saw Monger in a daze. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old man, is it strange? I'm just a worker. How much Bailey does the navy give me every month? I'm going to fight you for that little money."
"You didn't seem to be showing mercy just now."
"Of course." Rona laughed, "If you were weaker, I would have killed you, but aren't you still fine now?"
As she said that, Rona glanced into the distance.
"The giant king is ready to move. It's hard enough to deal with you alone. If there's another one, I don't think I can even leave Elbaf."
Rona is not a fruit ability user, so this injury of a broken shoulder blade has a great impact on her strength.
Not to mention, she is still a swordsman who makes a living with her hands.
So, even if she still has the strength to fight, Rona still chose to give up.
Because Monger still has the capital to continue fighting.
"Old man, I haven't seen you for five years. You really gave me a big surprise. If the news gets back, someone will be unable to sleep again."
A pirate who can rival the admiral is still active on this sea. The impact on the navy's layout for the new world can be imagined.
Especially this pirate is still in Elbaf, the country of giants, and seems to have a good relationship with the giants.
"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with me. I'm still on vacation. If I get injured during vacation, does it count as a work injury?"
Rona laughed and turned away.
Now everyone still has the strength to fight. If Monger wants to force Rona to stay, it will be a fight to the death, and only one can survive.
But until her figure gradually disappeared from Monger's sight, Monger didn't figure out what she wanted to do.
Fight with him?
Catch him to Push City?
"Women are really troublesome."
Monger finally came to this conclusion.
Putting this matter behind his mind, Monger cares more about his own strength than Rona. He can be sure that with this battle with Rona, he has finally crossed the threshold of belonging to the top powerhouse.
Maybe at this level, he is still a newcomer.
But being able to repel Rona has shown that he now has the strength to compete head-on with the admiral level without losing.
He finally took another step forward.
Thinking of this, Monger finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Puhahahahahaha——————"
"The captain won!?"
In the Yang Realm, looking at Monger who was still standing and laughing loudly, Rocks muttered to himself.
"Nonsense, the captain must have won!"
Lipri was delighted, with a proud expression on her face.
"He is the White Wolf Monger!"
Only those who have seen outstanding pirates in their childhood and admired them would understand Lipri's feelings, not to mention that Lipri is now a member of the White Wolf Pirates and Monger is his captain.
"But that is the admiral of the navy."
Rocks muttered, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
He always knew that Monger was very strong, but he also always believed that no matter how strong Monger was, he was just an old stinky old man.
So he never gave up the idea of challenging Monger.
But now.
Seeing the scene when Monger and Rona were fighting, Rocks couldn't help but have a little doubt.
Can he really beat Monger?
Can he become as strong as Monger?
"Don't think too much."
Lipri smiled and rubbed Rocks' head, but because her fingers were too big, she almost knocked Rocks unconscious.
"Since the captain has given you the opportunity to challenge him, it means that he thinks highly of your potential. If you don't even have the courage to surpass the captain, how can you become a member of the White Wolf Pirates?"
The battle between Monger and Rona also stimulated Lipri.
As a giant who has just reached adulthood, she is still too weak. In a battle like this, she is not even qualified to intervene.
However, unlike Rocks ,
as a child who grew up in the world's strongest country, Elbaf, Lipri's vision is broader than Rocks and she is more confident.
Because in their Elbaf, there is a king who once fought Monger to a draw.
Although Lipri feels that Harald is definitely not Monger's opponent now, it also shows that their giants have enough potential to stand at the top of this world.
"Humph, I won't give up!"
After just a moment of hesitation, Rocks reaffirmed his confidence.
Because the stronger Monger is, the stronger he will be after defeating Monger, which also means t
hat he is closer to his dream.
He is a man who wants to be the overlord of the sea!
How could he lose to a stinky old man?
