"Arrogant fool, my defense is the strongest among us!"
Blueno roared, tensing all ten fingers, his muscles bulging like steel.
"Iron Body - Steel!"
Among the Six Styles, besides the basic skills, there were also the Six Styles Enhancement Techniques and the Six Styles Ultimate Techniques.
To be selected into CP9, one not only had to master the basic skills of the Six Styles, but also had to thoroughly research the Six Styles Enhancement Techniques.
The Steel technique that Blueno was using now was an extension of Iron Body, a defensive skill with greater defensive power.
Rumble!
The fist covered in pitch-black Armament Haki instantly landed on Blueno's abdomen.
His face, which had been firm, became stiff and frozen in an instant.
The next moment, with a distorted expression, his entire body flew out like a cannonball.
Bang!
Under the heavy hammer, the ripples in the air surged like a tide.
Blueno instantly slammed into the wall a hundred meters away.
The huge impact force shattered the thick wall directly.
Watching Blueno, who had been full of confidence in his defensive power a moment ago, be directly defeated like paper in an instant, it could be said that he wasn't just stunned now.
He was probably also questioning his life!
One punch!
Another punch!
Cavendish, who was at the scene, and the person hiding in the shadows, were stunned at once.
They had never expected that the dignified CP9 would be so childish in front of Escanor.
They couldn't even take one of his punches.
If it were them, their fate would probably be no different, right?
"Cough cough... Escanor, you dare to attack us. If it's reported to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, this will be a great crime!" Kaku was the first to climb out of the ruins.
As a Six Styles master, Kaku hadn't fainted directly. He was a little better than Blueno, who had lost consciousness.
However, looking at his disheveled appearance, he had still lost most of his combat power.
"Kaku, stop talking nonsense with me." Escanor dispersed the aura on his body and walked towards Kaku.
"I came here just to confirm Nico Robin's whereabouts with you!"
"Nico Robin?"
Cavendish was slightly stunned. He finally understood that he had been completely kept in the dark.
However, to take down CP9 for a woman, that was just true love.
"You came for Nico Robin?" Kaku's expression changed drastically and said, "I thought that woman was all alone, I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship with her."
"However, you were able to reveal my identity as soon as we met, it seems you have a very strong intelligence network."
"You should know very well what's involved behind Nico Robin."
Speaking of this, Kaku took out a bounty poster with a backhand and said, "Because you made a scene on the Sabaody Archipelago, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters have already discussed this."
"This is the newly released bounty order!"
"You also have a bounty order?" Cavendish was slightly stunned. Seeing the amount on the bounty order, his pupils couldn't help but contract.
"T...Three hundred million bounty!"
"A first-time bounty, starting at three hundred million?"
Cavendish's face was full of disbelief.
No!
It should be said that he now wished he could take a knife and fight Escanor to the death.
Originally, he had been eyeing the title of the number one supernova.
Now, he had finally endured until the Skeletal Great Demon became the Fifth Emperor of the Sea.
He had endured until Fire Fist Ace became the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates's 2nd Division!
He had been waiting for a blank period under the stars and moon, but now Escanor, who had a starting price of 300 million, had appeared.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have been willing to believe it?
"Damn Escanor!" Cavendish clenched the Durandal in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Escanor turned his head and glanced askance, his eyes meeting Cavendish's, causing him to shiver.
Watching that sandbag-like fist, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and he said with a dry laugh, "I was just wondering if you wanted to eat an apple? I'm pretty good at peeling apples."
Watching Cavendish, who had chickened out in seconds, Kai, who was inside the template, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Before he could speak again, Kaku's voice had already rang out again.
"Escanor, not long ago, our CP intelligence system added a new task, which is to convey to you a decision from the World Government."
"You showed great strength on the Sabaody Archipelago."
"However, you also provoked Kaido of the Beasts, who is one of the Four Emperors. He was able to lower his status and attack Laxus, who had the Marine Headquarters as his backer, and he might also attack you."
"So, the Five Elders are giving you a choice, to replace Crocodile and become the new Shichibukai."
"As long as you agree, the offense of attacking our CP9 because of Nico Robin just now will be written off!"
The slightly elongated voice, at that moment, seemed to be infused with magic, echoing on the port for a long time and unable to dissipate.
A starting price of 300 million!
And he was invited by the World Government to fill the vacant Shichibukai position.
This feeling was basically debuting as a heavenly king!
At the thought of this, Cavendish almost crushed his fingers.
Comparing people was simply infuriating!
"Shichibukai?" Escanor raised an eyebrow and said, "I think, besides the benefits, you should have other requirements, right?"
Benefits and responsibilities often coexist.
What's more, regarding the Five Elders who were hiding behind the World Government,
they were basically the kind of people who would pluck you clean even if you were just a goose passing by.
Letting you be a Shichibukai for nothing, without paying enough value, would probably be difficult.
"Escanor, you're indeed a smart person. To become the new Shichibukai, you need to agree to bring back Crocodile's head afterward!"
Seeing Escanor ask back, Kaku secretly heaved a sigh of relief, looked around and said, "At the same time, silence everyone here who knows my identity!"
As long as the other party was interested, there would be a prerequisite for negotiation.
What's more, due to the privileges that the Shichibukai had, for any pirate, having this aura was like having a sweet pastry.
In Kaku's eyes, no one would be willing to give up the fat meat that was at their doorstep.
Silence them?
Cavendish's nerves tensed up at once.
No!
It should be said that everyone present was no exception.
After witnessing Escanor's one-punch man-like strength with their own eyes,
no one believed that they could escape alive under his watch.
As their gazes turned in unison, landing on him, a strange oppressive aura spread out.
Even Cavendish couldn't help but clench the Durandal in his hand.
They desperately wanted to know what decision Escanor would make.
The feeling now was like being a fish on a chopping board.
