Chapter 137 - Chapter 138 The Kingdom of Baikal

The sword road manual was also the same; don't look at Wano Country's current strength being so-so, easily pushed aside by Nox.

But Wano Country used to be incredibly glorious, having produced invincible Samurai like Shimotsuki Ryuma, who was famous throughout the World.

After countless years of inheritance, Wano Country has a very rich foundation in sword road and Haki.

Even though Nox is now very strong, he still feels his foundation is insufficient in terms of the application of Haki and his understanding of the sword road.

This Training knowledge from Wano Country can just become his nourishment, continuously accumulating his foundation, expanding his knowledge, and transforming into a part of his strength in the future.

Before Nox ruled Kuri and the Flower Capital, he had already greeted Kurozumi Uesugi.

He would only occupy two islands, leaving the other islands for Kurozumi Uesugi to occupy, and he also requested Kurozumi Uesugi to help him establish weapon processing plants.

Kurozumi Uesugi also gladly accepted Nox's suggestion and is currently capturing a large number of laborers in Wano Country to build weapon processing plants.

Then he suppressed the remaining Samurai forces who refused to submit to him, causing the people on the four islands of Shirauo, Ringo, Kibi, and Udon to be full of grievances.

Many people were even forced into desperate situations, with some starving to death.

"Why doesn't General Nox come to liberate Shirauo?"

"Why doesn't General Nox come and drive away these bad guys like Kurozumi Uesugi?"

"Let's hurry and escape to Kuri and the Flower Capital. If we continue to stay here, we will die!"

"But the bridges leading to Kuri and the Flower Capital are guarded by Kurozumi Uesugi's people; we can't get through at all."

"..."

The people on the other four islands, at first, had a lot of resentment towards Nox for killing the Kozuki family and the various daimyo.

But as Kurozumi Uesugi rose, causing the people to experience even more intense suffering, coupled with the news from Kuri and the Flower Capital about how the people were living in peace and prosperity and were happy, the people who were in deep pain all shifted their previous resentment onto Kurozumi Uesugi.

Now, they mostly praise, hope for, and look forward to Nox.

They look forward to Nox coming to them soon and saving them from their plight, just as Nox had cleared out the bandits in Kuri and liberated many people in Kuri.

Nox naturally knew the situation on the other four islands clearly.

But he turned a blind eye to the people's pleas, either reading or cultivating.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Under Nox's management, Kuri and the Flower Capital became more prosperous than before.

"It's a harvest! Finally, a harvest!!!"

"We have food! Food! This is the food we grew ourselves!!"

"Praise Lord Nox! Thank Lord Nox for lending us food and seeds, otherwise we wouldn't have this moment!"

"..."

When the harvest season arrived, the people of Kuri and the Flower Capital looked at the grain they had grown, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears unconsciously dripped onto the ground.

They used to not even have enough to eat, only having one meal of thin porridge a day, and could starve to death at any time.

But since Nox came, everything has changed.

Nox not only lent them food to eat but also rented land and seeds for them to grow grain, which is why they are able to have a harvest now.

The grain harvested now can not only repay the food borrowed from Nox but also leave some behind.

Even though this food is not enough to last them until the next harvest season, it is enough to make them excited and hopeful.

Even before their harvest, they had already heard that after repaying this grain loan, they could borrow food again, enough for three months.

At that time, they wouldn't have to go hungry and could have a stable grain income just by growing food.

If they were diligent, they could rent more land, grow more grain, and naturally harvest more grain when the harvest comes.

"I want to apply for land!"

Seeing hope, many people rushed to apply for more land to Training.

Having experienced the pain of hunger, they absolutely did not want to return to that painful life.

As long as they work, they will have food; this kind of life is simply paradise for them!

The news of the harvest in Kuri and the Flower Capital also spread to the other four islands, making the people who were suffering even more eager for Nox to liberate them.

"Third Prince, the sea area ahead is very close to the Limitless Pirates' territory."

"I just heard that the Limitless Pirates are in the expansion phase, and we might encounter them, so we should still not go there."

On a luxurious ship, the butler Leonard, dressed in noble attire, advised.

"What are you afraid of? Rocks is already dead, and the Rocks Pirates have also disbanded."

"The Limitless Pirates were just founded by an Executive Officer who split from the remnants of the Rocks Pirates."

"Our Kingdom of Baikal is a World Government member state. When the Rocks Pirates were still around, we feared them, raised their flag, and temporarily endured."

"Now that Rocks is dead, we have taken down the flag of the Rocks Pirates, and our Kingdom of Baikal has stood up!"

"A mere Limitless Pirates is not worth our Kingdom of Baikal's fear. Set sail, move forward, to Sony Island!"

Kingdom of Baikal's Third Prince Garcia became more and more agitated as he spoke, as if no one in the entire New World dared to touch him, Kingdom of Baikal's Third Prince Garcia.

"Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince."

Since his master had said so, Leonard, as the butler, could only obey.

"Who are you? This place has been occupied by our Limitless Pirates!!"

At the port of Sony Island, the Limitless Pirates members who were moving treasures shouted loudly when they saw Kingdom of Baikal's Third Prince Garcia and others.

"Mere Pirates, how dare you speak to me like that!!"

"Capture them for me and seize the treasures!"

The Third Prince Garcia's eyes immediately became greedy when he saw the treasures being moved by the Pirates.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!!"

The kingdom soldiers behind the Third Prince Garcia saw this and immediately rushed out, surrounding all the Pirates at the port.

"Damn guys, how dare you provoke our Limitless Pirates, brothers, kill them!"

Many of these Limitless Pirates came from Beehive Island with Nox, full of ferocity, even though there were many enemies, they were not afraid at all.

Both sides started fighting with weapons.

"Hahahaha, Vice Captain, we've occupied another island! Including this Sony Island, it's already the sixth island!"

On Sony Island, the little minions under the Limitless Pirates laughed heartily.

"Hmm, the speed is still acceptable!"

Kano nodded with satisfaction.

"Vice Captain, a group of people has arrived on Sony Island. They seem to be nobles from somewhere and have already engaged in a fight with our people!"

Bullet walked over and said.

"Hmm? How dare they oppose our Limitless Pirates? No matter what kingdom they are, they must die. You guys search for spoils of war here, Bullet, come with me!"

Kano finished speaking and rushed towards the port.

"Slash!!!"

After arriving at the port, Kano saw the so-called prince leading the group, turned his right hand into a blade, and unleashed a full-power slash.

A sharp slash twenty meters long flew out rapidly.

"Hmm? Be careful, Your Highness the Third Prince, a master has arrived. You retreat back to the ship first!!!"

Seeing the rapidly approaching slash, the butler Leonard stood in front of Garcia, his right fist covered in Busoshoku Haki, and unleashed a punch.

"Break for me!!"

Leonard endured the sharp pain in his fist and shattered the slash, but he himself was also sent back dozens of meters by the slash.

"Hmm? You can actually block my slash, you're someone."

"Bullet, this old guy is mine; you take care of the others."

Kano said excitedly, then the ground beneath his feet caved in, and Kano instantly rushed towards Leonard using the Soru technique.

Having been at sea with Nox for more than three years, Kano has now not only mastered Busoshoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki but also learned techniques like Soru and Moonwalk.

Coupled with his Devil Fruit ability, his strength is many times greater than before.

"Punch!!"

Seeing Kano charging so quickly, Leonard's eyes narrowed, and he still threw out a punch.

"Limitless - Cross Slash!!"

Kano turned both hands into blades, simultaneously covering them with Busoshoku Haki, crossed the twin blades, and slashed down fiercely.

"Damn it, the slash is too sharp!"

Even though Leonard's fist was covered with Busoshoku Haki, his Busoshoku Haki was actually broken by the opponent!

"Hahahaha, your fist isn't hard enough!!"

Saying that, Kano separated his twin blades, one slashing towards Leonard's throat and the other attacking his lower body.

Leonard was forced back by Kano, dodging these two slashes, but the next moment, Kano instantly disappeared from his sight and suddenly Go behind him.

"Limitless - Double Half Moon Slash!!"

With the twin blades joined together, Kano slashed fiercely, like a broken half-moon in the sky, aiming directly at his vital neck.

"Busoshoku - Iron Back!"

Leonard, who didn't have time to turn around and defend, covered his back with Busoshoku Haki, wanting to take Kano's attack head-on.

However, Kano's slash directly broke through his defense, and his white spine was exposed.

"Ah!!"

Leonard screamed in pain and was also slashed and sent flying.

"Father, Father, I was ambushed by the Limitless Pirates on Sony Island, come quickly and save me!!"

The Third Prince Garcia saw that his strongest guardian beside him was being suppressed throughout the fight, and that the kingdom soldiers were being continuously slaughtered by that Kid Bullet.

He frantically took out his den den mushi and made a call.
