Chapter 911: All Turned to Ashes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Kuro crossed the Calm Belt from the East China Sea and reached the Grand Line, William’s fleet had just passed the Upside Down Mountain and smoothly entered the Grand Line.

Well, it did not go well.

After they returned to Swifts, they conscripted five more ships and recruited those who wanted to follow William as a pirate. A total of 1,500 pirates went to the Grand Line, but four of them were destroyed in the turbulent current of the Upside Down Mountain.

After finally crossing the Upside Down Mountain, they immediately encountered a storm. Under the rolling waves, the three already broken ships were directly submerged.

In the end, he encountered a huge sea beast and swallowed a ship while it was unprepared. Then, he went into the sea and left Seven’s will.

At this time, they came to a relatively calm sea.

On the deck, William stood at the front, dripping wet, his face dark.

“This is the Grand Line!”

He lost half of his forces just by crossing the Upside Down Mountain. This is the damn Grand Line.

“Mont Blanc, is the weather on the Grand Line always like this?” he asked slowly.

“Yes, the Grand Line has always been like this.” Montblanc nodded.

He came from the Grand Line and would not be surprised by such an accident.

But William was different. Hearing Mont Blanc’s words, he nodded and looked at the sea. “It seems that my preparations were not wrong. It is too dangerous here.”

Losing half of his forces is nothing. His core and trusted subordinates are still there.

However, he needed to be extremely vigilant next. This sea is indeed dangerous!

“Captain William!!”

At this moment, the pirate above the mast stuck his head out and said: “A pirate ship has been found ahead!”

Pirate Ship?

“Telescope!”

Mont Blanc was the first to call out, and then a pirate sent a telescope over. Mont Blanc directly looked in the direction pointed by the pirate on the observation deck above the mast.

In the sea, there was really a Pirate Ship. The Pirate Flag Mont Blanc did not know. “Sverre, come and see.”

Swire took the binoculars and looked over there, frowning. “I know them. They are the Lion Pirates. Captain Lion Pirates is a big pirate with a bounty of 60 million!”

As people who are preparing to enter the Grand Line, they naturally have to pay attention to the news of the Grand Line. Swire, who specializes in intelligence, is responsible for collecting this aspect. He remembers where the Marines are strong and where the pirates are strong.

As long as there was a bounty, he would remember it, especially for such a high bounty.

Sixty million, that’s twice as much as William!

“It’s 60 million…” Mont Blanc shook his head and looked relaxed. It made sense. He had just left the Upside Down Mountain not long ago, how could he meet someone with a high bounty?

He did not care about this bounty. He used to be a pirate with a bounty of 200 million berries. That was a rare ‘supernova’ back then.

Later, the Captain was arrested by the Marines and he escaped death to East Blue. Originally, he looked down on William and others, but he was dormant by William’s strength and strategy and thought that William was a man who could become a great pirate.

In the past, he didn’t care about it, and now he doesn’t care about it even more. He has already surpassed himself and become God knows how strong. He has learned the Haki that he didn’t learn in the first half of the game.

A mere 60 million…

Mont Blanc grinned hideously. “This level is just so-so. William, we can…”

If they fought well, they could even make the 60 million pirate surrender and increase the bounty for their captain. The bounty now is too low and they must make a name for themselves.

Just as Mont Blanc was about to say this, a loud roar sounded.

“Everyone, get ready!!”

Steam rose from William’s body and his legs burst out with steam impact. He flew in the air and stared at the gradually appearing pirate outline.

“Mont Blanc, Swire, go all out! Elmira, be ready to evacuate!”

“I’ll go and fight them first. I’m a Logia, so I won’t get into trouble easily. All ships, align your muzzles and aim at the target! Except for the gunners, everyone prepare your guns and shoot, and be ready to take the lead! The opposite side Captain is 60 million, we have to be ready to fight hard and even escape!”

The steam around William’s body expanded and turned into a huge turbulent steam giant that rolled over like a huge wave.

“Hey… No, William, this is a misunderstanding, come back quickly!” Mont Blanc was stunned and reacted and shouted, but William had already flown over.

That speed… he used his full strength!

William was panicking.

When he was in East Blue, William met a few million pirates. At most, it was more than 10 million, but 10 million and 30 million are two different concepts. 30 million and 60 million are two different concepts.

Sixty million! Twice as much as him!

To be honest, William was still brooding about the bounty. His bounty was released after he met Kuro, which meant that Kuro also provided his opinion here. He thought that he was only worth 30 million, which meant that he only had 30 million strength.

The Grand Line is indeed dangerous!

But he wanted to become the Great Pirate’s man, 60 million will not make him yield.

After suffering such a loss in the Mountain of Reversal, the morale visible to the naked eye is decreasing. Now that this is his first battle, he must show his might, otherwise, the hearts of the people will scatter!

Even if we lose, we have to fight bravely!

With this thought in mind, William gritted his teeth and flew over. The steam giants descended to the waves at the same time. When they approached the Pirate Ship, two steam giant hands were directly inserted into the sea.

“Boiling waves!!”

From the front of the giant hand to the seawater under the pirate ship, it formed a boiling sea path.

The seawater boiled for William.

The Pirate Ship did not seem to have reacted. This was a good opportunity for William.

A large amount of steam from the seawater surrounded the Pirate Ship.

“Steaming Danger Burst!!”

William, who was in the state of a steam giant, roared. With an explosion, the steam wrapped around the Pirate Ship became even hotter and burned without fire in the steam.

“Ah!!!”

A tragic cry sounded in the steam.

“Scream? No, that’s impossible. Is this to attract my attention and make me slack off?!”

The steam giant stretched out a hand, which extended forward and transformed into a huge sword, directly slashing towards the burning pirate ship. The area of the huge sword was even larger than the pirate ship!

“Overheat Slash!!”

The huge sword slashed horizontally and directly touched the burning bow of the ship. Under the high temperature, the already burning ship directly burst into flames, forming a big fire.

Then, the giant sword swept across the Pirate Ship, and the entire ship seemed to have fallen into a burning hell and was ignited.

Hot, hot, burning!!

In this environment, there was no sound from the Pirate Ship.

“No sound?!”

William’s eyes flashed with fear. Was he enduring in the flames? Or was he waiting for him to relax and give him a fatal blow?

No matter what, I can’t take the risk!

William raised his other steam hand and turned it into a big sword again and slashed it vertically in that direction.

“Overheat Slash!!”

Under the huge sword, the burning Pirate Ship burned even more violently and scattered, turning into a wreckage.

But there was still no aura inside.

Kenbonshoku (Observation) clearly found so much life aura just now.

Can the entire ship be hidden? Does it have power that can not be sensed by Kenbonshoku (Observation)?

“Overheat Slash!!”

William gritted his teeth and struck again.

The huge sword swept down again, but there was still no reaction from the other side.

“Overheat Slash!!”

“Ah ah ah ah!! Superheat Slash!!!”

William seemed to have gone crazy. His hands turned into a huge steam sword and slashed crazily in the steam ball.

In the rear, Montblanc’s mouth twitched and he inexplicably sympathized with the pirate who had turned into ashes in the steam and couldn’t help but say: “Don’t cut it, it’s all turned into ashes, William…”
