But these port workers were all townspeople of the small town. They trusted what Xia Luo said wholeheartedly and quickly ran out.
Xia Luo didn't give any more warnings to those who were still at the port.
He had already given a warning. If they still stayed here, they were just asking for trouble.
As the number of people at the port decreased, those who stayed began to panic.
Especially when Xia Luo stared seriously in one direction, everyone looked over.
At first, it was just a small black dot, but as it got closer, those who stayed at the port also saw ten large ships with pirate skull flags flying on them.
This instantly panicked the merchants and onlookers who had originally stayed, and they all began to back away.
It was a pity that it was too late.
The ten ships were extremely fast, and they also saw Xia Luo standing at the port.
"Jihihaha! Is this the swordsman who can perform flying slashes? Let me test him!"
Shiki bit the cigar in his mouth, then raised his sword and swung it at Xia Luo.
Then, a fifty - meter - tall soaring qi slash attacked Xia Luo from a distance of a hundred meters.
Xia Luo frowned. Attack right from the start?
Then Xia Luo also mercilessly swung out a qi slash of the same size as the previous one.
The two qi slashes cleaved through the sea and collided near the port.
Peng! (the sound of collision) The two qi slashes refused to yield to each other and clashed on the sea, then they dissipated in the sea.
Everyone still on the dock was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out when they saw this scene.
"This! This can't be possible!"
Countless pairs of eyes watched all this, including the crew members of the Rocks Pirates.
"No way! Captain Shiki's slash was blocked. Is there also a powerful person on this island?"
The pirates were all surprised after seeing the same - sized qi slash being neutralized.
"Tsk! A bunch of ignorant people. Captain Shiki didn't even use his full strength."
Some people who had witnessed Shiki's full - force attacks looked disdainfully at the newly joined pirates.
"Gurahaha! Shiki, you seem to be a bit embarrassing!"
Edward Newgate laughed mockingly, and this sounded extremely harsh to Shiki's ears.
"Damn it!"
Shiki instantly flew into a rage and swung his sword with all his might.
Slash Wave
The strength of a great swordsman was fully displayed. A hundred - meter - tall qi slash directly cut through the sea and rushed towards Xia Luo.
Xia Luo's pupils constricted. He couldn't retreat! If he did, this island would be destroyed.
He gathered all his strength. Then he launched dozens of slashes at the hundred - meter - tall qi slash.
Unfortunately, each of his slashes couldn't compare to Shiki's.
But Shiki's qi slash was soon annihilated by Xia Luo's dozens of slashes.
Even Edward Newgate was a little surprised this time!
"This kid has good strength!"
Edward Newgate couldn't help but sigh!
Shiki also sheathed his sword and acknowledged Xia Luo's strength.
As the ship got closer, Xia Luo saw the people standing on the ship.
At this sight, Xia Luo was instantly shocked.
"You are the Rocks Pirates!"
Xia Luo exclaimed.
He never expected to meet them on this island.
The approaching crowd all heard Xia Luo's exclamation.
"Jiehahaha! It seems our reputation precedes us!"
Shiki, the Golden Lion, laughed heartily.
"Kid, who the hell are you!"
Shiki unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and charged towards Xia Luo while shouting.
Feeling the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, Xia Luo immediately released his own!
"I'm Rockefeller Xia Luo! This is my hometown!"
Xia Luo retorted defiantly.
After seeing Xia Luo unleash his Conqueror's Haki, everyone present grew serious.
They originally thought he was just a sword - master, but unexpectedly, he had the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki.
Even Charlotte Linlin, who had initially thought little of Xia Luo, and Kaido, who was following behind her, grew solemn.
However, Rocks D. Gibek just curled his lips into a smile.
"Rockefeller Xia Luo!"
Shiki murmured the name.
"Kid, how about joining our pirate crew? I can make you one of my lieutenants!"
Shiki extended an invitation.
Xia Luo frowned upon hearing this.
"No way! I'm not ready to set sail yet, not to mention joining your crew. In the future, I'll form my own pirate crew and become the captain myself!"
Xia Luo flatly refused.
After hearing Xia Luo's words, Shiki frowned.
"What did you just say, kid?"
Shiki increased the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki and pressed it towards Xia Luo.
Undeterred, Xia Luo raised his own qi a notch to block Shiki's overwhelming aura.
"The sky is about to split!"
Many pirates who withstood the clash of Conqueror's Haki noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"Guahaha! This kid has astonishing Conqueror's Haki!"
Edward Newgate took a swig of his drink and praised.
Unable to hold back his excitement, he added his overwhelming pressure to the fray.
Three waves of Conqueror's Haki clashed in the sky.
Seeing Edward Newgate join the fray, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.
In an instant, five waves of Conqueror's Haki clashed violently in the sky.
The pirates who managed to stay conscious during the clash of Conqueror's Haki fainted on the deck. Some unlucky ones fell directly into the sea.
Moreover, the clash of Conqueror's Haki soon affected the surroundings.
Within the range of the five waves of Conqueror's Haki, the surrounding glass and wood cracked.
Seeing this, Rocks laughed.
"Hahaha! Stop it all!"
A wave of crimson Conqueror's Haki mixed with lightning burst out from Rocks D. Gibek and instantly suppressed the five violently - clashing waves of Conqueror's Haki.
The five of them immediately counter - attacked Rocks D. Gibek's Conqueror's Haki.
After being suppressed, the five joined hands.
Sitting next to the ship's wheel, Shakky puffed on her cigarette, watching the six of them in the arena.
"What a bunch of monsters!"
The people beside him nodded in agreement.
They looked at the six people with solemn expressions.
Among these six people, Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was the weakest. Charlotte Linlin and Xia Luo had equal Conqueror's Haki, and Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki was slightly stronger than Shiki's.
It was he who was at the front, bearing Rocks' Conqueror's Haki.
"No wonder he's the captain of the first division. His strength is almost on par with the captain!"
Shakky murmured as she watched this scene.
When Rocks felt that his Conqueror's Haki couldn't suppress the combined forces of those five people, his face darkened.
But then he returned to normal.
"Kid! You have two choices. One, join the RocksPirates Crew. Two, you die!"
Rocks said expressionlessly as he looked at Xia Luo.
Xia Luo fell silent after hearing this and thought for a long time.
Then Xia Luo retracted his Conqueror's Haki.
"Fine! I'll join!"
Xia Luo said expressionlessly.
