"These people are pirates, and they're pirates who have just completed the first half of the Grand Line." Vladimir chuckled. "Perfect. They're very suitable as objects for testing combat power."
The first half of the Grand Line and the New World are two different sea areas. The pirates in the New World are very powerful. Any one of the Four Emperors far surpasses the combat power of an Admiral-level like Akainu.
As for the first half, the pirates there are more ordinary. Unless they are the top group, the bounty of the rest of the pirates generally does not exceed 100 million Berries.
Sure enough, the captain of this pirate crew spoke the next moment.
The captain was a bald man, burly, with a large broadsword placed at his feet.
Probably drunk, the bald man stood up, laughed, and said, "Join the Four Emperors? You're joking! My bounty is 75 million. Sooner or later, I'll become the Pirate King! The first thing I'll do when I enter the New World is to kill Whitebeard!"
This statement immediately excited the crew, who howled.
Kill Whitebeard?
Unable to hold back, Vladimir laughed out loud.
"Who is it?!"
The bald man shouted and woke up a bit from his drunkenness.
"He's quite alert."
Since he had been discovered, Vladimir did not continue to hide.
A black shadow slowly stepped out from behind the bald man.
"A ghost?!" Many people were startled.
"A monster!"
"What is it?!"
A group of pirates were on high alert.
However, the bald captain was confused.
He looked in the direction of his subordinates' gazes, but he couldn't see anything at all.
"Don't look, you can't see me." Vladimir grinned, looking the other up and down. "With your level, you want to kill Whitebeard? With a bounty of only 75 million, even a cabin boy on his ship has a bounty of 80 million."
The voice that appeared out of thin air startled the bald man again.
He could hear the voice and sense the source of the voice, but the source was empty.
"Acting mysterious!"
While feeling cold in his heart, the bald man's courage grew from his evil intentions. He suddenly grabbed the broadsword beside him and slashed towards Vladimir.
Faced with this attack, Vladimir did not dodge, allowing the broadsword to fall.
Seeing this, the rest of the crew sneered, "This ghost thing is scared silly. Kill him!"
However, the next second, everyone's expressions froze.
The broadsword passed through Vladimir's body, as if it had slashed into smoke.
"Logia!?" Someone blurted out, looking shocked.
This person was the one who had persuaded his companion not to cause trouble earlier.
Vladimir raised his eyebrows, looking at this person in surprise, "You actually know about Logia types. You're quite knowledgeable."
"Who are you!?" This person asked with some nervousness.
Vladimir smiled, too lazy to answer, and instead looked at the bald captain, "You attacked me. It's reasonable for me to attack you now. I'll just try to see if I can materialize..."
Saying this, Vladimir tried to control his body to condense it.
Hearing this voice, the bald man subconsciously retreated, even knocking over the dining table.
He widened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
A black shadow, pitch-black, slowly appeared before his eyes.
The black shadow was so thick that it seemed to drip ink. It started from the head and appeared little by little, eventually forming a human shape completely.
Not only that, this black shadow had no face, only a pair of eyes, which looked extremely strange in the darkness.
Even more, the entire body of the black shadow was constantly overflowing with wisps of black smoke, further adding to the mystery.
"Is this the feeling of materialization?" Vladimir looked at his hands, very surprised, "However, it seems I can't maintain it for long..."
Thinking this, he looked up at the bald captain, who was already frightened.
Suddenly, he moved.
His right hand raised, clenching his palm into a fist. With one movement, black smoke rolled.
"Eat my punch!"
Vladimir didn't have much experience in hand-to-hand combat, just following his instincts to punch.
However, for the frightened bald captain, he didn't even have time to dodge this punch.
This strange thing seemed to have a great terror. The bald man's pupils shrank, and he used his rough face to take this blow head-on.
Bang!
With one punch, his face deformed, and his whole person was directly knocked to the door of the tavern.
"Captain!" A group of crew members exclaimed.
"The power is also so-so." Vladimir got a hit, but he didn't pursue, "It must be far beyond ordinary people, but..."
Just thinking of this, suddenly, a sword light flashed, and a pirate stabbed towards his chest.
"Die, monster!"
The attacker was very proud, his mouth full of ridicule.
However, this ridicule immediately disappeared, replaced by horror.
"Puff"
