In this tavern, there were all sorts of people: Pirates, pirate hunters, merchants, ordinary residents, and so on. It could be said to be a mixed bag of people.
"Crack!!!"
When Nox forcefully opened the door, almost wrecking the entire thing, the entire tavern instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Nox at the entrance, as well as the fifty people behind him.
"Hey, you're the tavern owner, right? I heard there's a Seven Star Demonic Sword on this island. Where is it?"
After Nox walked in, he looked at the tavern owner and asked.
Although he knew the Seven Star Sword was in a small village in the forest, this island wasn't small, and the forest wasn't small. It would take too much time for him to search slowly, so he came here to inquire about it.
"Hey, who the hell are you? How dare you disturb my drinking!"
A rough-looking Pirate, holding a sword in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, walked towards Nox with a fierce expression.
As he raised his hand, the large sword slashed towards Nox's head.
"Scram!!!"
Seeing this, Nox was too lazy to draw his sword. He raised his foot and kicked out, instantly sending the Pirate flying.
"Boom!!!!"
The moment the Pirate flew out, he smashed through the tavern wall.
The people inside the tavern could even see that the Pirate who flew out didn't land on the ground, but flew along a horizontal line very, very far, at least a hundred meters.
And the Pirate's intestines flew out of his belly.
For a moment, the entire tavern, which was about to return to a lively atmosphere, fell silent again.
No one expected that the person who had just entered was so powerful, instantly killing the Pirate worth nine million.
Now no one dared to step forward, for fear that the next person to be kicked with their intestines flying out would be them.
"Sir, I am the owner of this tavern."
"The Seven Star Demonic Sword you mentioned, there was indeed this legend on Asuka Island, but no one has ever seen it."
"However, in the mountains and forests, there are the witches of the Seven Star Demonic Sword legend. You can go there and ask them."
Seeing how powerful this person was, the tavern owner quickly ran over and told him everything he knew.
"Do you have a map to those mountains and forests?"
Nox continued to ask.
"Yes, yes, yes, this is the map to the mountains and forests."
The tavern owner quickly took out the map.
"I hope this map of yours is real. If I go to the mountains and forests and can't find anyone, there will be no need for this tavern to exist."
Nox said. His Kenbunshoku Haki detected that the owner wasn't lying, but perhaps having been a Pirate for a long time, the threatening words just slipped out.
"Let's go!"
After getting the map, Nox took Karoo and the others to the mountains and forests to look for the Seven Star Sword.
"Sigh, another powerful person attracted by the legend of the Seven Star Sword."
After seeing Nox leave, the tavern owner sighed.
"I say, boss, does the Seven Star Sword really exist? Even such a powerful person has come to Asuka Island to look for the Seven Star Sword."
After Nox left, the others in the tavern started asking the owner. They had all heard the conversation between Nox and the owner just now.
"The Seven Star Sword is a very, very old legend. How would I know if it exists? If you want to know, why don't you follow them?"
The owner said speechlessly.
"I say, boss, you're trying to get us killed, right? If we follow them, it's a miracle if we don't get killed."
The others in the tavern were still deeply fearful of Nox's overbearing kick. No one wanted to be kicked so hard that their intestines flew out.
In the tavern, there was a Marine in plain clothes. After seeing Nox's terrifying kick, he lost interest in continuing to drink.
After Nox left, he returned to the Marine base.
"This, how is this possible!!!"
"It's him, it's him, it's him!!"
"It must be him!"
However, when he returned to the Marine base, he saw that all the Marines had been killed!
And in his mind, the face of the person who had just entered the tavern kept appearing. His intuition told him that it was that person who had wiped out their Marine base!
"Report, yes, report, report the situation here to Marineford."
Immediately after, this sole surviving Marine contacted the higher-ups of the Marine and told them everything that had happened here.
He even went to the tavern and obtained a photo of Nox that someone had secretly taken in the tavern, and then sent it to Marineford.
Marineford:
"Fleet Admiral, news has come from Asuka Island. All the Marines at the Marine base on the island, except for one person, have been killed."
"The perpetrator of this incident, after analysis by the staff office, is very likely to be Rocks Pirates Executive Officer, Nox!"
A Marine handed Brac a photo of Nox after he had disguised himself and said.
This photo, in terms of facial shape, was very similar to Nox's. Even with a simple disguise, it was still seen through by sharp-eyed people.
Most importantly, the sword at Nox's waist was not hidden, and it was exactly the same as the sword he had exposed in the New World before.
So after the Marine staff office obtained Nox's photo, they easily saw through Nox's disguise.
"Wasn't this guy in the New World before? Why did he suddenly come to the Four Seas? We didn't receive any information about him on the Sabaody Archipelago and Fish-Man Island!"
Brac was very confused about Nox's appearance in the Four Seas.
"Fleet Admiral, Nox likely crossed the Calm Belt and directly reached the Four Seas. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain how he reached Asuka Island in such a short time."
Tsuru, who was next to Brac, analyzed.
"Calm Belt? That's a natural barrier. How did he cross the Calm Belt without wind to propel him?"
Sengoku asked in confusion.
"Never mind that for now. Since he dares to appear in the Four Seas, he won't be able to escape this time. I'll go out now and capture him on Asuka Island!"
Kong said.
"Okay, Kong, you go. According to the news from Asuka Island, Nox is looking for the legendary Seven Star Demonic Sword on Asuka Island, and he doesn't know that his whereabouts have been exposed. This can be said to be a good opportunity."
"Note, don't kill him, we need him alive. This is the order of the World Government."
Brac reminded.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"
After Kong finished speaking, he got up and left here.
"Speaking of which, he's just an Executive Officer, is it necessary for Brother Kong to personally take action?"
"Let me go, I can also capture him."
Garp said casually from the side.
"Don't underestimate this Nox. Although he is young, he can defeat Hannyabal, so his strength is certainly not weak. Although you can also defeat him, you're still a bit short of the mark if you want to capture him."
Brac said.
