"You've really kept me waiting, Charlotte family!"
Accompanied by Vladimir's whisper, the Sword of Promised Victory slashed down towards the other's head.
This behavior of attacking without saying a word immediately surprised the surrounding members of the Kuja Pirates.
But Charlotte Cracker didn't panic, sweeping the giant sword on his shoulder towards Vladimir.
"What kind of sword is that, without a blade?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a "clang" sound, the two swords colliding, producing a powerful shockwave.
The next moment, Charlotte Cracker's expression froze, he was shocked to find that an incomparably heavy pressure was coming from this invisible sword.
This wasn't Armament Haki, but another power he had never encountered.
Boom!
Suddenly, Charlotte Cracker's body sank, the ground under his feet sinking by more than ten centimeters, the entire stone-paved ground seeming unable to withstand the pressure, cracks spreading outwards.
"How arrogant."
With a loud shout, Charlotte Cracker swung his arm, pushing away Vladimir, who was pressing down on his giant sword.
Vladimir moved lightly, flying backwards, and after landing, he borrowed force again, his entire body like an arrow, launching a second attack in an instant.
Swoosh!
A straight thrust!
"Saying nothing and attacking directly, very good!"
Charlotte Cracker let out a burst of laughter, he didn't give way, charging towards Vladimir.
"What's going on?"
The members of the Kuja Pirates all retreated, watching the two fighting from afar, the Empress frowning slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.
"Do these two have a grudge? Every move is a killing move."
"This is a fight to the death, a single mistake and they'll be killed."
Her two sisters also had solemn expressions.
The Empress suddenly looked at the bearded captain, her sharp gaze sending a questioning meaning.
Feeling this gaze, the bearded captain quickly said: "Nine-Lord captured one of BIG MOM's sons, demanding ransom from the other party. This person is here to seek revenge, but it just so happens that Nine-Lord isn't here, so Lord Knight King is cleaning up Nine-Lord's mess."
Hearing this, the Empress was stunned, these Phantom pirates were getting bolder and bolder.
First there was Shadow Fiend assassinating the Celestial Dragon, and now there was a Nine-Tailed Fox extorting a Four Emperor, and if she remembered correctly, Nine-Tailed had also suppressed the Whitebeard Pirates' Marco!
"They're simply... madmen!"
Even the Empress, who prided herself on being aloof and looking down on everything, couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for the Phantom Pirates.
Regardless of whether these people were good or bad, just their courage alone was enough to inspire awe.
These people weren't afraid of making things big at all, doing things as they pleased, there was probably nothing in the world they wouldn't dare to do.
Even more so, the Empress had a premonition that sooner or later these people would also provoke Kaido and Red Hair...
And in the short time that the Empress was thinking, Vladimir and Charlotte Cracker had already exchanged more than a dozen blows.
Both were skilled in swordsmanship, and they had an irreconcilable hatred for each other, so they didn't show any mercy, decisive and ruthless, not stopping until one of them died.
But soon, Charlotte Cracker discovered an anomaly, no matter how he attacked, his opponent was always able to dodge and defend one step ahead, and then take the opportunity to counterattack. In just one or two minutes, he had actually been suppressed.
"You're strong, state your name!"
Forcing Vladimir back again with a sword, Charlotte Cracker grinned, saying: "I've killed a lot of people, but this is the first time I've met a swordsman as skilled as you, tell me, what's your name? After I go back, I'll write your name in my book."
"Phantom Pirates, member, Knight King 'Old Saber'."
Vladimir didn't smile, saying: "Don't hide in your turtle shell, take out whatever techniques you have."
"Old Saber... Is there also a New Saber? Let him come out together, fighting two-on-one might give me a little motivation!"
"Heh, New Saber is our treasure, I'm enough to deal with you alone."
Too lazy to say more to the other, Vladimir held the sword with both hands, charging forward again.
However, just then, Cracker grinned, "Since you're not interested in fighting two-on-one, then I won't be polite."
Saying this, he inserted the giant sword into the ground, his free hands clapping in front of his chest.
Clap!
"Come out, my army!"
Suddenly, pieces of biscuit constantly appeared out of thin air beside Charlotte Cracker.
Each of these pieces was about the size of a human face, their number reaching hundreds or thousands.
The next moment, these pieces of biscuit attracted each other, gradually condense, and in the blink of an eye, biscuit soldiers with the same appearance as Cracker constantly appeared.
One, two... a full ten!
Each soldier held a giant sword, surrounding Cracker, like a loyal army, slaying all invaders.
"Go play with my soldiers, member of Phantom."
Cracker grinned, while he himself took out a Life Card, locked onto a direction, and quickly headed towards the palace...
"My foolish little brother, are you there?"
"Want to leave?"
Vladimir raised an eyebrow, suddenly stopping, heading to intercept the other.
This person wasn't stupid either, knowing the priorities, sending out biscuit soldiers to contain him, while he himself went to rescue Charlotte Kanten.
Vladimir naturally wouldn't let him succeed, he quickly approached, intercepting.
However, before he could get close, three soldiers had already blocked the road in front of Vladimir.
At the same time, three slashes suddenly appeared behind him, three giant swords slashing down towards Vladimir's head.
"Don't block my way."
