For two days in a row, he just practiced swordsmanship.
The Knight King transformation came with swordsmanship proficiency, but that was just instinct, and it still needed some time to familiarize himself with and master it.
Vladimir was doing this now, accumulating power on the one hand, and waiting for Charlotte Cracker to arrive on the other.
However, after waiting and waiting, until the third day, BIG MOM's people hadn't arrived, but he did learn the news of the Kuja Pirates landing.
"Kuja Pirates?"
In a deserted small park, Vladimir stopped practicing his sword, turning his head to look at the bearded captain, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Lord Knight King, you ordered me a few days ago to monitor all pirates coming and going at the port, how could I dare to be careless."
The bearded captain said with a smile: "It's definitely the Kuja Pirates, all women, there's no mistake."
"Is the Empress there too?" Vladimir asked.
"She's there, the port is in chaos now, all statues. The port has been paralyzed, I don't know how many people were bewitched by the Empress's beauty, and then turned into statues..."
Speaking of this, the bearded captain shuddered, fortunately he had kept Vladimir's instructions in mind at the time, and immediately came back to report after confirming that it was the Kuja Pirates, otherwise he would also be one of the hundreds of statues at the port now.
Hearing this, Vladimir was quite speechless.
He had tricked the Empress last time, and this girl really held a grudge, even chasing him to the New World.
Changing his mind, Vladimir said: "Alright, lead the way, we'll go to the port."
Speaking of which, the Empress owed him 500 million, it was a good time to collect the debt.
Anyway, it was Sea Dragon who provoked the Empress in the first place, it had nothing to do with him "Knight King".
Immediately, the group headed to the port.
Arriving at the place, Vladimir saw faces after faces that had been seduced by beauty and turned into stone statues.
And in front of a large pile of statues, the members of the Empress Pirates were walking over.
"Sister," Sandersonia said in a low voice: "These people are also pirates."
The Empress was still in that aloof mode, always wearing a blank face, her beautiful eyes sweeping towards Vladimir and the others, saying in a cold tone: "I'm asking you something, where is the Nine-Tailed Fox who caused a ruckus some time ago?"
Hearing this, the bearded captain immediately looked at Vladimir, "Lord Knight King?"
Saying this, seeing that Vladimir's expression was calm, he immediately snorted coldly, saying: "Woman, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're pretty, this is Nine-Lord's territory! This person next to me is Nine-Lord's good brother, Lord Knight King, you're too rude!"
If he was facing the Empress alone, he would never dare to say such a thing, but now with the Phantom Pirates backing him, he naturally had the courage.
After speaking, the bearded captain looked at Vladimir with a flattering face, as if asking, how did I do?
Vladimir was speechless, this guy really didn't know how to talk, it was too degrading.
Sure enough, the Empress raised her eyebrows, her sharp gaze fixed on Vladimir, saying: "You're also a member of the Phantom Pirates?"
"So what if I am?" Seeing this, Vladimir said softly: "Boa Hancock, why aren't you stay obediently on your Amazon Rainbow Island, what are you doing running to the New World?"
"Tell me, where is your Sea Dragon?" The Empress seemed too lazy to talk nonsense, going straight to the point.
Vladimir was unmoved, resting his hands on his long sword, looking at each other frankly, "How do you know Nine-Tailed is here?"
"Hmph, a sword-wielder," Marigold snorted, saying: "Some time ago, your Phantom's Nine-Tailed Fox became a Shichibukai, fought the Shichibukai Doflamingo in Mystoria, one of the starting islands, and then suppressed the Phoenix Marco in Dressrosa, this matter has long been on the news!"
Hearing these words, Vladimir was stunned.
But changing his mind, it was also expected, after all, it had caused such a commotion, it would definitely be seen by people, and then spread out.
"It seems that Whitebeard will also receive the news sooner or later," Vladimir pondered, wondering if he needed to temporarily avoid the limelight.
He had suppressed Marco, and when Whitebeard knew, he would definitely lead the pirate crew to rescue him.
One-on-one, he wasn't afraid. If he couldn't beat Whitebeard, he could escape calmly.
But being surrounded would be more troublesome. At that time, other than transforming into Sea Dragon and diving into the ocean, or turning into Shadow Fiend and teleporting thousands of miles away, a frontal confrontation would probably be too much.
While thinking, the Empress snorted softly, saying: "Tell me, where is your Sea Dragon?"
"I won't tell you," Vladimir smiled slightly, saying: "Boa Hancock, don't forget the transaction you made with Shadow Fiend last time. You still owe us 500 million, have you raised the money?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but saying this made the Empress's chest heave with anger.
"Hmph, go ask your Sea Dragon about this, he stole my goods, those things are worth far more than 500 million!"
She gnashed her silver teeth, her pretty face flushed with anger. If Sea Dragon appeared before her, she would definitely flay him alive, and then drag him back to Kuja Island, locking him up for a hundred years.
Because of this, the Navy had been giving her a lot of trouble recently, after all, it was the ship of the Celestial Dragons, and she hadn't gotten anything, but instead took the blame.
Vladimir couldn't help but shake his head, saying: "Why should we return the goods that we snatched based on our ability? I'm telling you, hurry up and pay the 500 million you owe. We Phantom, do business with credibility, you can't break the rules."
You still have the nerve to mention "credibility"! A Sea Dragon posing as a guardian, scamming food and drink, it's simply hateful!
The Empress's eyebrows were filled with murderous intent, truly driven mad, she had never seen such a shameless bastard.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, a burst of laughter suddenly came.
"Hahaha, why should we return the goods that we snatched based on our ability? As expected of the Phantom Pirates, a madman who dares to extort 'Mama'."
As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly leaped from the port in the distance, with a bang, landing heavily between the two sides.
The person who came was tall, wearing a mane helmet, wearing black and white biscuit-like armor, wearing a cloak, like a general from the battlefield.
Seeing this person suddenly break in, Marigold's expression changed slightly.
"BIG MOM Pirates, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Cracker, bounty of 750 million!"
Hearing this, Vladimir's gaze locked onto the other, the next moment, he moved.
Tapping his toes, his entire body floated out, as fast as lightning.
At the same time, the Sword of Promised Victory was unsheathed, slashing down with a head-on blow.
"You've really kept me waiting, Charlotte family!"
