A casual slash made him feel a chill.
It was at this moment that Sakata Gintoki realized just how strong Wang Zhi was.
The more this was the case, the more challenging Gintoki found it.
Especially since Wang Zhi was the most influential figure in this pirate alliance.
"Again!"
Sakata Gintoki leaped down from the mast, sword in hand.
In an instant, he was before Wang Zhi, his long sword whistling, accompanied by a sharp sword qi that seemed to tear through the sky.
Boom!
Just as Sakata Gintoki's long sword was two meters away from Wang Zhi, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked Gintoki's attack.
A powerful impact followed.
Sakata Gintoki flipped in mid-air, landing at the edge of the deck, his gaze fixed on the man before him, clad in silver armor and wielding a great shield and a colossal axe.
It was this silver-armored man who had just blocked his attack with the great shield.
This also reminded Sakata Gintoki of someone.
The legendary Silver Axe, a member of the Rocks Pirates.
And Wang Zhi and Silver Axe were very close.
After Rocks was killed, they both hid for a period.
Now, gathering together to form a pirate crew was not impossible.
Just like Big Mom, Kaido, Whitebeard, Shiki, and others, they had also gone into hiding for a time after Rocks' death, and when they reappeared, they had already formed formidable pirate crews, with some even achieving the status of Yonko.
"Are you Silver Axe, one of the Rocks Pirates?"
Sakata Gintoki was curious about the identity of the silver-armored man.
Moreover, the man's speed, compared to his sturdy physique, gave a sense of incongruity.
Were fat people that agile?
Sakata Gintoki was a little frustrated.
"Silver-haired brat, your strength is not bad."
"But you want to challenge our captain right away, you're not qualified enough."
Due to his mask, no one knew what the silver-armored man looked like.
This attire did indeed resemble Silver Axe.
But the other party hadn't admitted it, and instead looked down on him.
"Enma Hou!"
As the silver-armored man spoke, a voice rang out.
At the same time, someone appeared behind Sakata Gintoki.
The Black Steel Staff spun in Yeltski's hand, releasing a fiery red glow and intense heat.
Bang!
Yeltski's staff strike had great explosive power.
Sakata Gintoki had no time to think, and his Armament Haki instantly covered his Lake of Holes.
Bang!
With a massive force, Sakata Gintoki was sent flying.
He crashed heavily onto a pirate ship dozens of meters away, creating a hole.
"Damn it, Yeltski, you savage, you dared to wreck my ship."
"Do you want a fight?"
Antli, seeing the huge hole that appeared beside him and was beginning to flood, raised his hand, pointed his spear at Yeltski, and roared.
At this moment, Yeltski seemed to have entered a state of transformation, becoming an ape-like demon, growing a long tail, and his body hair was distributed in black and red.
His eyelids and eyes were crimson, giving a scorching sensation.
The Animal-Animal Fruit, Fire Ape Model, also known as the Enma Fruit.
Yeltski, hearing Antli's words, bared his sharp teeth and laughed, "Antli, you're too weak. Your spear alone can't kill me."
"If you want a fight, I'm game, but first, let me finish off that silver-haired brat."
Yeltski leaped like a monkey, his jumping power astonishing.
With a few leaps, he was about to jump into the hole and strike Sakata Gintoki with his staff.
Just then.
Invisible sword qi, densely shot out.
Yeltski, who had just landed on the ship's cabin, changed his expression and swung his Black Steel Staff.
He stirred up a strong wind, accompanied by scorching heat, and then a sudden burst of flames.
"Damn Yeltski."
"You're going to destroy my ship."
Buz, seeing this scene, was furious.
He hadn't even made a move, and his ship was about to be burned by Yeltski and Sakata Gintoki. If this got out, wouldn't he be laughed at?
Buz opened his mouth and spat towards Yeltski.
The saliva quickly turned green in the air and formed impactful droplets.
When the droplets landed on the wood, they would corrode it.
Yeltski frowned.
Buz's strength was not weak, and more importantly, he possessed the power of a corrosive fruit, making that disgusting liquid extremely troublesome.
The Black Steel Staff took the opportunity to smash a large wooden plank from the ship, which fell into the sea.
As Sakata Gintoki emerged, he leaped into the ocean.
Although his body was large and clumsy, Yeltski, using the slight buoyancy, completed a long jump.
Sakata Gintoki looked at Yeltski jumping away in the air with a slightly disheveled appearance and spat.
"Damn monkey."
"You're dead."
"Sky Slash!"
Changing to a swordsman's stance, he swung his sword upwards from below.
Wang Zhi's gaze was drawn to this.
A hundred-meter-long sword qi tore through the vast sea, rapidly heading towards Yeltski.
Yeltski, still excited, felt the attack from behind and found it too late to turn around in mid-air.
His long tail coiled around the Black Steel Staff, held close to his body and vertically behind him, accumulating power for an explosive strike.
Boom!
Yeltski was hit by Sakata Gintoki's attack, passively accelerating his fall.
At the same time, Sakata Gintoki controlled wooden spikes, which transformed into sharp swords, and shot out.
He himself ran on the sword bodies, his speed astonishingly fast.
Like lightning, he actually caught up to Yeltski.
"Lake of Holes Eighteen Cuts!"
In Yeltski's surprised gaze, Sakata Gintoki swung his long sword.
Every strike drew blood, and Yeltski let out a scream.
"Captain!"
The members of the King's Soldier Pirate Group watched their captain being so cruelly treated by Sakata Gintoki, their fear mixed with anger.
Then, two Devil Fruit users, who had transformed into a dinosaur-like form, flew out.
One held twin halberds and chopped down towards Sakata Gintoki's head.
Sakata Gintoki's body seemed to tread on solid ground in mid-air, rapidly adjusting his posture. His extreme reflexes and astonishing core strength were difficult to imagine in a man, rather than a soft, boneless woman.
Dodging, defending, attacking.
Even with the pincer attack from two opponents, Sakata Gintoki completed his moves in one fluid motion, evading the sneak attack.
Sky Walk!
Without the assistance of sword qi, Sakata Gintoki used Sky Walk to create distance and landed on a pirate ship.
The people on this ship, seeing Sakata Gintoki's dazzlingly fast offensive, were momentarily awed by his momentum, retreating several steps and not daring to attack.
