Similarly, John was also a powerhouse who majored in swordsmanship.
In the Rocks Pirates, after training for a long time, his swordsmanship, had also advanced to the level of a Great Swordsman!
"Demon Slash!!!"
John tightly gripped the Grade Great Sword, and suddenly chopped towards the giant octopus Sea King before him.
Terrifying power, was forced out of John's blade, and a white sword energy flew out.
The sword energy rapidly swept through space, tore through the sea, and flew towards the giant octopus Sea King.
"Zizz!!!"
The giant octopus' body, was directly cut in half by John's sword energy, fresh blood sprayed, internal organs flowed out, and it died on the spot.
After killing the giant octopus, a smile hung on John's lips, and he looked towards El.
As if he was showing off.
However, El didn't pay attention to him.
He had only killed a Sea King, this wasn't something worth bragging about.
Although the volume of the four giant Sea Kings on the sea surface, was unusually large, and their power was also incomparably terrifying.
However, before Great Swordsmen like El and John.
The Sea Kings' bodies, were as fragile as paper, and were easily killed by the two of them.
After killing the Sea Kings, the two of them continued to steer their ships.
Holding Rocks' Vivre Card, and sailing in the direction of the Rocks Pirates.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly from under the sea surface, another giant Sea King rushed out.
The moment the Sea King rushed out of the water, it launched an attack towards El's ship, and heavily smashed into the position of the ship's cabin.
The ship's cabin, was directly smashed out a huge gap by the Sea King.
"Tsk, a sneak attack, huh?"
This group of Sea Kings, couldn't pose a trace of threat to El's life at all.
But.... there was a backstabber!
It directly rushed out from the seabed, and caused damage to his ship, no one could prevent this.
"Boom!!!"
In the next second, the Sea King used its body again, to ram into El's ship.
The ship suddenly shook violently, and the Poneglyph that had been stored in the ship's cabin by El.
At this time, it was directly sliding towards the sea from the position of the ship's cabin gap.
"The Poneglyph!!!"
John also noticed at this time, the Poneglyph that had been stored in the ship's cabin by El, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Damn it."
Seeing that the Poneglyph was about to fall into the deep sea, El's pupils contracted.
He quickly used his sword to kill that Sea King, and then came to the edge of the ship's cabin.
And intercepted the Poneglyph that was about to slide down.
John roared: "El, you guy, have you already found the Poneglyph?"
John had been mocking him earlier, that El hadn't even found out the clues about the Poneglyph.
But.... he never thought, that the slap in the face would come so quickly!
El had not only found out the clues, but had directly found the Poneglyph!
He had thought that he had found out a little bit of clues about the Poneglyph, and was already in the second layer.
But he never thought, that El was directly in the atmosphere!.
"That's why I said before, that your wish won't be realized, John."
El placed the Poneglyph, in a safe position again, and glanced towards John's side and said faintly.
"El, what's seen is shared, it was the Poneglyph that we both saw together, so Captain Rocks' reward, I also have a share of it!" John said shamelessly.
John had been thinking about Rocks' reward for a long time!
He had originally thought, that he had obtained a little bit of clues about the Poneglyph, and it wouldn't be long before he could find the Poneglyph.
And then.... reap a rich reward.
But he never thought, that the Poneglyph, was now on El's ship!
"You really like to joke, John." El sneered.
Damn it, just because you saw the Poneglyph, you wanted to share Rocks' reward with me?
El didn't know, if John's brain, had been beaten silly by the Navy's main force a few months ago.
"Do you think, after I've seen the Poneglyph, you can still safely bring it back to the Rocks Pirates?" John's face darkened, and he threatened.
"You can try!" El directly pulled out sword at his waist.
Although El didn't have an experience card on him now.
But.... his current hard strength, wasn't inferior to John at all.
Or rather, he didn't put John in his eyes at all!
If John wanted to snatch it, he didn't mind, letting John's corpse sink in this sea.
John stared at El's gaze, was silent for a few seconds, and then said.
"El, I know you like to collect Devil Fruits, I currently have three Devil Fruits in my hand, how about I exchange them with you for the Poneglyph?"
If it was possible, John still wanted to exchange blows with a man like El.
After all, El, no matter what, was the most talented executive in the entire Rocks Pirates.
The current John, didn't have full confidence, that he could take down El and snatch back the Poneglyph.
"Do you think, that I found the last Poneglyph of Uranus for Captain Rocks, his reward..... would only be three Devil Fruits?"
Rocks' greatest dream in this life, was to rule the world.
And Uranus, was precisely an important weapon that could allow Rocks to rule the world.
And El, had brought back the Poneglyph that Rocks had been thinking about.
Allowing him to find the hiding place of Uranus.
How could Rocks' reward, only be as simple as three Devil Fruits???
"Plus one billion Berries, how about it, El? You have to know, although Captain Rocks said that there would be a great reward, but none of us are clear, what kind of reward there will be specifically, right?"
"And now, as long as you exchange with me, I can give you one billion Berries plus three Devil Fruits!" John continued to raise the price.
"Hey, John, you guy..... are really treating me like an idiot, you want to exchange the Poneglyph with me with just these things?" Hearing John's stupid words, El couldn't help but sneer.
Rocks hadn't explicitly said what the great reward was.
But..... since John could take out one billion Berries, and three Devil Fruits to exchange.
Then John definitely knew very well, that Rocks' reward was definitely above this!
El naturally wasn't stupid either.
Bringing back the Poneglyph for Rocks, such an outstanding contribution!
How could it be, only as simple as one billion Berries, and three Devil Fruits?
John's face darkened, and a murderous intent bloomed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "So.... you still won't exchange, even if I take out these things?"
"Don't say such stupid words, John, you and I both understand, the importance of this Poneglyph to Captain Rocks."
"Then don't blame me, for snatching the Poneglyph from your hands."
Seeing that negotiations were hopeless, John directly pulled out the Grade Great Sword at his waist, and entered a state of battle.
"Then you can try!"
Although El didn't know, what stage John's current strength was at.
But.... John, Kyo, and Ochoku, should be at about the same level.
Back then, El had been able to suppress Kyo with hard strength.
Now, everyone in the Rocks Pirates' strength, was improving at an extremely fast speed.
But El didn't think that, his current strength, was weaker than John's level.
Seeing that the two people were about to fight, many pirates on John's ship, said with some worry.
"Are they going to start fighting?"
"Captain John, can he defeat a monster like El?"
"Although I believe in Captain John's strength, but.... a while ago, El killed an Admiral on Hachinosu!"
El's achievements a while ago, had been deeply engraved in the minds of every pirate in the Rocks Pirates.
After all, being able to fight against two Navy main forces, and even kill an Admiral, who wouldn't be deeply impressed by such terrifying combat power!
Compared to the fear of some crew members, another part of the crew members, were filled with disdain.
"Don't overestimate El too much, don't forget what Captain Edward said before, his Devil Fruit ability, can only be used once, that is to say, the current El, is completely unable to release the combat power of the Hachinosu period!"
"Although his Devil Fruit is perverted, but it has already been used once, so he definitely can't use it now, and.... don't forget where we are now, it's the sea! As long as Captain John can destroy El's ship, then we are bound to win!"
As everyone knew, the thing that Devil Fruit ability users feared the most, was the sea!
In their opinion, as long as they could destroy El's ship.
