Chapter 1180 Negotiations with the Phantom Troupe Fail
A strange girl uses a strange vacuum cleaner to save two swordsmen from the ruins, but the strength of the swordsmen without swords will be reduced by half.
Kidd recalled the information about the Phantom Troupe, a group of bounty hunters who would follow their leader to join Blackbeard Teach in the future.
The devil fruit ability of the brigade leader Kuroro is very insidious. If he hides in the dark, he will most likely be interested in the magnetism fruit and steal some of Kidd's power for his own use.
The Phantom Troupe's visible members include melee muscular monsters, swordsmen, logistical support personnel, and members who have not appeared. This configuration is more than enough to form a powerful pirate group.
Kidd looked at his new crew members again. Hawkins had come behind him during the truce, hoping to survive under the protection of the new captain.
Hawkins is a talent in management, and he is also good at reconnaissance and divination. However, his frontal combat capability is somewhat worrying, and he is one of the bottom-ranked pirate supernovas.
"We are almost done with manpower, otherwise it wouldn't be as troublesome as today." Even if facing a fighter who relies on physical strength, Kidd doesn't intend to back down.
He has no intention of returning the sword he has snatched. If the Phantom Troupe is really capable, they will use their own abilities to snatch it.
Cavendish was undoubtedly the biggest victim at the scene. He obtained Mikazuki Munechika by selling his face and emptying his own treasury, but he was snatched away before he could even get warm in his hands. He lost 3 billion berries in vain and was burdened with huge debts.
"A bunch of shameless robbers, I paid for Mikazuki Munechika." Cavendish's hysterical look could no longer be described by the simple word "defense-breaking".
This was the first time that the Nobleman on White Horse suffered a blow from reality. There were countless people on the sea who were stronger than him.
In his own Brujoie Kingdom, Cavendish can eat women and be the king, but once he leaves his comfort zone, no one will pamper him.
Everything depends on strength. Even if you have money in your pocket, it cannot be protected in front of a strong person. Cavendish's eyes were red, staring at the supreme big knife that Hawkins held in front of his chest.
Nobunaga has no use for the prince who is a little mentally insane for the time being. He does not let Xiaodi hit Cavendish with a club because he is considering whether he can be introduced into the Phantom Troupe in the later stage.
The Phantom Troupe needs fresh blood, and a talented swordsman like Cavendish is worthy of the troupe's investment of resources, so that he can quickly become stronger and become an assistant to the leader.
Nobunaga walked to the side of his friend. Wo Jin took a look at his injuries. They were just some bruises on the body caused by being crushed by heavy objects. These minor injuries were insignificant.
"Kid, actually we can cooperate. As long as the Phantom Troupe completes the mission and receives the reward, we have no interest in Mikazuki Munechika," Nobunaga thought of this compromise. He didn't want to further escalate the conflict. The Phantom Troupe only cares about money, so they should try not to fight to the death if possible.
If the cooperation is reached, Kidd will hand over Mikazuki Munechika to the Phantom Troupe, and the Troupe will then take the Supreme Sword and get full compensation, and the Troupe will not be responsible to the employer.
At that time, Kidd, who was following behind, could do whatever he wanted. He relied on his own strength to snatch Mikazuki Munechika back from his employer, which was also Kidd's own ability.
Nobunaga's plan must be based on mutual trust between the two parties. Although it sounds very tempting, Kidd, who is suspicious by nature, will not believe outsiders just because of a few words.
"Your proposal is still too troublesome. I don't have that much time to play the game of thieves with the Phantom Troupe. If you want Mikazuki Munechika, you'll have to rely on your own ability," Kidd's words announced the breakdown of the negotiations.
Wo Jin began to move his body beside his friend, clasping his fists and moving his joints. With crisp sounds, he began to relax himself and be ready to fight at any time.
"All pirate supernovas are proud. If the compromise plan doesn't work, don't blame me." The smile on Wo Jin's face became more and more wild, and the wild aura he exuded became stronger and stronger. He was simply born for close combat.
Nobunaga thought of the ending of his sword. Although the sword was just an ordinary item, it had been with him for many years and he had some feelings for it. He felt a little empty in his heart if he lost it rashly.
"Let's make this a quick fight, the longer you delay, the more variables there will be."
The collapse of the hotel just now made quite a noise. Although this place is located on the edge of Island No. 1 and outsiders did not arrive immediately, as time goes by, there will always be people who want to join in the fun and are not afraid of death and come to take a look.
"That's just what I want. Let me test whether you can take a beating or not."
Wo Jin took a stance, spread his fists and legs at the same time, and released the energy in his body wildly like a volcano about to erupt.
His muscles seemed like countless pythons swimming around, expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Each muscle bulged like a small hill and was filled with explosive power.
The strands of hair stood up, turning into a flamboyant hedgehog head, as if flames of anger were burning.
He stood firmly on his feet, but the ground beneath his feet could not bear the weight and cracks began to appear on the ground, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
The surrounding air was squeezed by the powerful aura, making a hissing sound, and the stones underfoot began to jump restlessly.
As his strength continued to increase, Wo Jin's eyes turned red, like burning lanterns, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
A powerful aura formed around his body, making anyone who approached him feel a huge sense of oppression.
He was like an enraged beast, ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemy at any time. At this moment, Wo Jin completely released all his strength and strengthened his body to a critical point.
"Don't let me kill you with one punch"
As soon as Wo Jin finished speaking, he pushed the ground with one foot, and his terrifying speed instantly reached an extreme, appearing in front of Kidd as if teleporting.
The fist carrying terrifying power was aimed at Kidd's face. The fist was wrapped in a whistling wind, and seemed to carry a tremendous force and smashed towards the opponent with an unstoppable momentum.
"Another physical monster"
Kidd's eyes flashed, and at this critical moment, his body instinctively leaned back, while quickly raising his hands and crossing them in front of him.
At the same time, a metal wall appeared in front of Kidd, and through the attraction of the magnetic fruit, it was sucked to his side to help the magnetic man resist damage.
Wo Jin's fist slammed hard on the metal wall, and the terrifying force immediately penetrated it. The powerful impact made Kidd's body out of control.
He slid back a few steps, leaving two deep grooves on the ground beneath his feet. Kidd's physical strength could not be compared with Wo Jin's.
Kidd felt his internal organs injured just by being grazed by the fist. If he was hit head-on by Wo Jin's punch, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Very good, then take my second punch."
When Wo Jin failed in his first attack, he prepared for the next attack. He wanted to smash Kidd into a pulp and let the pirates know the consequences of angering the Phantom Group.
