Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that it seemed that it was not just her but also Kaku, Blueno, and others in CP9.
In her heart, she hated Spandam, her superior, and she had a stronger trust for Lucci.
But at this moment, on the snow in the distance, a familiar figure stood in the middle of the road; it was Van Augur.
"Very good!"
Kalifa's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly: "Go and support them!"
"Lucci, Gin, and Zoro are fighting a powerful enemy. The enemy is the Tobiroppo of the Beasts Pirates, whose combat power is far superior to theirs!"
Halfway through, Kalifa's voice suddenly stopped because Van Augur's gun was aimed at her head.
Her identity was revealed?!
Bang!
Gunfire rang out.
A bullet tore off a strand of Kalifa's hair and hit Lapahn, who was leaping high behind her.
The corner of Van Augur's mouth curled up into a playful smile: "It's another fateful day!"
Kalifa turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lapahn.
Then she heard Van Augur say: "Take our people to the nearby harbor, and don't gather in the center of Drum Island."
"Musshuru is going to use the spore bomb in his body to destroy this kingdom."
"Kuro has gone to stop him."
"The captain is temporarily entangled by the Conflagration and cannot support us for the time being!"
As the sound fell to the ground, Van Augur disappeared in front of everyone, and at the same time, he also loaded the Sea Prism Stone bullets he found on the warship into the flintlock one by one.
At another part of Drum Island, another battle also began.
"The core cadre of the Beast Pirates, King, the Conflagration?!"
Gawain slowly pulled out the Guanze Masamune and stared at the tall figure with wings on his back and flames all over his body in front of him, with a fighting spirit rising in his heart.
He also had a hint of doubt.
Logically speaking, during this period of time, the Beasts Pirates should still be accumulating strength in Wano Country, waiting for the day to conquer the country.
As the leader of the three disasters, King is also the core figure of the Beast Pirate, second only to Kaido. He should not be here in any way.
"How can a small person like me deserve your attention?"
King said nothing but simply looked at Gawain from a high position. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes, only indescribable calmness and dominance: "No matter what, Hanafuda is still a member of the Beast Pirate. He even fought with Jack for a while a few years ago. Although he was defeated in the end, he is still a member of the beasts. It is unreasonable for him to die at the hands of an outsider."
"However, Kaido's order was to capture you alive, so you have two choices, either die or put down the sword in your hand and follow me!"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, then he understood something.
Hanafuda, being an Ancient Devil Fruit user, is perfectly consistent with the fact that almost all the high-level members of the Beast Pirate are Ancient Zoan fruit users.
As for King's recruitment, it was even more expected.
Kaido has a habit of recruiting talents from all over the place, which has been revealed many times in the manga.
Whether it was Kidd, Apoo, or X Drake, Kaido never killed them directly after defeating them but brought them back to Wano Country in the hope of completely conquering them.
To some extent, this has even become a perverted game.
With the potential that Gawain has shown now, it is only natural that he can catch Kaido's eye.
Gawain could never accept being someone's thug.
Therefore, the only answer to King was an extremely sharp slash and Gawain's indifferent voice: "I'm curious about what it feels like to kill a rare species that was once called a god!"
King's pupils shrink suddenly; his biggest secret was exposed, and he could no longer maintain his high and mighty demeanor.
As a result, the aura he exuded became more violent, as if he had emerged from a sea of blood and corpses.
He lowered his head and looked at Gawain with bloodshot eyes: "Are you so eager to die?!"
"Although Kaido's order is for me to capture you alive, being half-dead is still alive!"
As the sound fell to the ground, the flames rose from King's body, entangled with each other, and intertwined into a fire dragon, sweeping towards Gawain.
Boom!
The flames scorched the earth with such high temperatures that the accumulated snow did not even have time to melt and was directly vaporized, making the steam rise.
At this moment, even Gawain's face changed color.
He knew that King had a past as an experimental subject of the World Government.
As a member of the Lunarian tribe who is almost immortal, it is easy to imagine what kind of treatment King will receive in the laboratory.
Among all the opponents he has fought, King's probably the strongest besides Hawk Eyes!
Even Fujitora, who has not yet reached his peak, may not be King's opponent, and Zephyr, who has passed his peak, is far inferior to him.
Moreover, the Lunarians' abnormal innate abilities make King the most difficult one, even among opponents of the same level.
"Is the so-called… born with a golden spoon?"
"But I also transmigrated with a Goldfinger!"
Gawain licked his lips with a fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
Since Fujitora left, he has never fought with a strong man of the same level again, and the improvement of his Conqueror's Haki can be said to be negligible.
King can definitely take his Conqueror's Haki to the next level!
Clatter!
With this thought in mind, Gawain suddenly tightened his grip on Guanze Masamune, and Armament Haki instantly enveloped him.
Whoosh!
Gawain raised his hand and swung his sword. A stream of Flying Slash flew out of his hand and instantly blew away the incoming fire dragon.
The red flames licked Gawain's skin, but the next moment, King's sword emerged from the flames and chopped off Gawain's head with a horizontal blow.
King's voice was as cold as ice at this moment: "If you can't even withstand this level of attack, you don't deserve Kaido's attention!"
King raised his head, but he never saw any surprise or shock on Gawain's face.
The next moment, Gawain's indifferent voice came to his ears: "A feint with fire, but the real killer move is a sword slash hidden in the flames?"
"How could these little tricks deceive my eyes?"
Gawain swung his sword and steadily blocked King's sudden attack.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion in the air, and a terrifying force was released toward the feet of the two people, making the ground instantly collapse, and cracks spread out for several meters.
The ferocious Lapahn in the snow was frightened by the aftermath of the attack by the two men and fled in all directions with their family.
In such a terrifying impact, Gawain's body did not shake at all; only his golden hair was blown by the aftermath, revealing a pair of frighteningly bright eyes.
Whoosh!
The cold wind howled, blowing up thousands of piles of snow.
At this moment, King even had the illusion that he was completely seen through.
He was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He had felt it in the deputy captain of another emperor of the sea.
"You can predict the future with your Observation Haki? You have the same ability as Katakuri?!"
"I don't know whose special trick this is!"
Gawain smiled faintly, exerted force with his hands, and directly bounced away King's sword.
Only at this moment did he realize a problem.
