As the two men took action, a burst of gunfire was heard in the surrounding buildings, and after a few screams, it gradually returned to calm.
The surroundings became quiet again.
After a few seconds, the dust and smoke have all cleared.
Gawain's figure appeared in everyone's sight again.
Even though he had just been hit head-on by the horrific explosion, his clothes were not stained with a speck of dust.
There was a buzzing sound from the sword at his waist because, at the end of Gawain's sight, a tall figure slowly walked toward him.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
The sound of steady, even footsteps came closer and closer.
After dealing with the small fry around them, Jabra and the others, all turned their attention to the newcomer.
The tall figure, the neatly combed black hair, and the ferocious hooked claw on the right wrist all revealed the identity of the person coming.
Crocodile, who is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
As the only one among the Warlords whose bounty is less than 100 million, his strength is undoubtedly seriously inconsistent with his bounty.
At least now, just the escaping aura is enough to make Jabra and others feel uneasy, and the hairs on their backs are standing on end at this moment.
"This guy... is very strong!"
"Compared to the opponents we faced before, they are completely different... he's overwhelmingly powerful!"
Jabra couldn't help but swallow, and then his eyes fell on Gawain, who was standing beside him.
As a fellow Warlord and one who even stepped on the shoulders of a former admiral to rise to the position, this man... he can win, right?
"Jabra, you guys retreat first."
Gawain waved his hand, his tone indifferent.
But what he said made Jabra's uneasiness reach its peak at this moment.
Let them retreat first? Is he worried that he would not take them into consideration in the battle? Or has even this man lost confidence at this moment?
All kinds of unreasonable associations flashed through Jabra's mind, but at this moment, his body had already made the most correct judgment.
Run! Run to the back!
No matter what the outcome is, no matter how the battle is fought, this battle is no longer something they can intervene in.
Staying here would not only not help White Knight Gawain but would even become a burden.
At the same time, Kumadori and Kalifa made the same decision.
Suppose the four emperors represent the top combat power of the New World pirates. In that case, the Seven Warlords of the Sea represent the combat power of the pirates in Paradise!
And the two Warlords of the Sea are about to start the battle here!
"Captain, is everything ok?"
Kalifa asked with a hint of worry.
Gawain was calm, even casual, and said calmly: "Isn't that a matter of course?"
Seeing the indifference in Gawain's eyes, Kalifa breathed a sigh of relief and then retreated to the rear without hesitation.
... ... ...
Crocodile stopped walking at some point. He watched everything that happened and naturally saw the scene where Kalifa pretended to be Vivi and killed Mr. 3.
Looking at the corpses of his subordinates, Crocodile was not moved at all and said coldly: "I've told you long ago that those clever tricks will be ruthlessly crushed once they encounter absolute power, and you won't even know how you died."
"Haa!"
"Does it still depend on me to take action in the end?"
Between his words, the cloak behind Crocodile was blown by the sea breeze, a strand of his hair swayed restlessly in front of his forehead, and his aura reached its peak at this moment.
The fierce, murderous intent whizzed through the air like a steel sword scraping bones.
Obviously, this man who once competed with Douglas Bullet and even targeted Whitebeard at one time had not yet declined in combat power to the level when he fought with the Straw Hat a few years later.
The restless aura in the air far surpassed that of Gin and Kuro.
Buzz!
Guanze Masamune became more and more restless.
Since the battle with King a few months ago, its edge has not felt the taste of blood for a long time.
Gawain placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, suppressing its uneasiness, and then looked at Crocodile with interest: "You are a bit stronger than I thought."
"You are as arrogant as I imagined."
Crocodile raised his hand, took off his cigar, opened his mouth, and exhaled a puff of smoke, then said lightly: "The ship in the sea doesn't seem to be yours, so before the action, you had already calculated that I didn't plan to let Vivi return alive?"
"Apart from a freakish talent, is there such an excellent mind?"
"I can't bear to kill you."
"Would you like to consider becoming my assistant? If we join forces, even the monster that stands in the New World may be overthrown."
Gawain shook his head and slowly drew the sword from his waist.
Clang!
The sharp blade cuts through the air, and an invisible sharp rose around Gawain.
His swordsmanship is now close to level fifteen. Even relying solely on swordsmanship, he is no less than a Vice-Admiral of the Marines.
At this moment, the wind around them suddenly became fierce, blowing the dust in the sky violently.
A small sandstorm even formed around the harbor, connecting the sky and the earth, howling around them.
In the wind, Gawain's indifferent voice reached Crocodile's ears.
"I think I can fight against those monsters by myself!"
"Snort."
Crocodile's mouth curled up into a ferocious smile. When he saw Gawain's eyes, the murderous intent in his heart rose to an uncontrollable level: "So similar!"
"That's how I rushed into the New World and finally fell in front of Whitebeard. You just haven't experienced that kind of despair!"
Whoosh!!
At this moment, the sound of Guanze Masamune drowns out the whistling wind.
"If you're talking about the mountain ahead, then I've seen a peak of the world's swordsmanship in the East Blue and even experienced a miserable defeat, but this is the difference between you and me."
Crocodile was stunned for a moment, and the unwillingness in his eyes suddenly burst out at this moment: "If you had experienced all that, you would be like me. No one would be a match for that kind of monster."
"I will give you another crushing defeat here!"
As the sound landed, the two of them no longer had any intention of communicating.
The battle also begins from this moment.
In addition to the struggle for interests, there is also an additional struggle of beliefs and wills!
The next moment.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion in the air.
The golden hook in Crocodile's hand, wrapped in Armament Haki, collided with Gawain's sword in mid-air, and there was even a hint of lightning flashing in the air.
Boom!
A loud explosion suddenly exploded in Nanohana city, and the entire street collapsed in the collision between the two men.
Even Fukurou and Vivi, who were far away from the harbor, noticed the movement here.
The two looked into the distance, but all they saw was the whistling yellow sand in the Nanohana city.
The roars coming from afar made the two people's eardrums tremble.
"Mr. Gawain... Will he win?"
Even though she had indescribable confidence in Gawain, Vivi was still nervous when the time came.
Once the battle started, it would mean that Gawain's guess was correct. Crocodile had never intended to let her go back alive from the beginning, and in this country, the only one who can fight against Gawain is Crocodile.
"He will."
Igaram reached out and patted Vivi's shoulder.
But just when he was about to let go, several figures suddenly jumped out from the dust in the distance and landed steadily on the deck.
Jabra looked back at the dust in the distance and couldn't help but show a lingering fear on his face: "That guy is very strong..."
"It's even countless times stronger than those top monsters I saw in the CP organization!"
"Mr. Gawain... can he win?"
Vivi couldn't help but ask again, but the only answer she got was silence from Jabra and the other two.
