One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 28 The Decalban Brothers

Several days later, in a certain sea area.

The rumors are spreading like wildfire in the underground world, and the Beasts Pirates have increased the bounties on Luo Ji and Yamato.

Although Luo Ji and his crew destroyed six of the Beasts Pirates' ships, they left almost no survivors.

However, Luo Ji and Yamato left too many clues on Kura Island.

When Kaido of the Beasts learned that Luo Ji and Yamato had formed a new pirate crew, he was furious.

He also planned to bring Yamato back and make her the shogun of Wano Country.

But now Yamato has actually run away with that bastard Luo Ji.

Yamato, who has joined someone else's pirate crew, is no longer his daughter!

The Navy's spy, who had infiltrated the Beasts Pirates, also easily learned about the Luo Ji Pirates' destruction of the Beasts Fleet.

They were even more shocked by the immense strength of Yamato and Luo Ji.

The Beasts Pirates lost six pirate ships and subjected the people of Kura Island to severe torture several times.

We have a basic understanding of the events surrounding Luo Ji and Yamato's landing on Kura Island.

Luo Ji possesses scroll-type abilities and can summon various monsters, which is indeed a relatively rare ability.

I just don't know what the limit is.

Poor Tiger, because he had some connection with the Luo Ji Pirates, he was beaten half to death by the Beasts Pirates and tortured for all sorts of information.

Even the Mikami family was implicated by Toratsuji.

However, the head of the Mikami family once again wavered, decisively abandoning Toratsui and even offering a large portion of his family fortune to the Beast Pirates.

In addition, other nobles also did not want to be this troublesome king.

The head of the Mikami family did indeed gain the recognition of the Beasts Pirates, thus confirming his status as king.

Miss Kikuhime has become Princess Kikuhime and is now up for sale again.

···

The Luo Ji Pirates, having sailed for a long time, finally encountered their first enemy on the high seas.

"Hahaha! This pirate crew only has three people. Hand over your treasure, and we might consider letting you go!"

A pirate ship flying a double skull pirate flag quickly caught up with the Luo Ji Pirates' ship.

"It seems the Beasts Pirates' ship is still no good."

Luo Ji marveled at the performance of the pirate ship, but mainly because the Luo Ji Pirates were too small, they didn't even have enough people to operate the ship, so they could only sail by chance.

"Decalban brothers!"

Luo Ji recognized the two pirates. He remembered that these two guys were elite pirates that Fire Fist Ace had taken down with Fourth Division Commander Thatch after Ace became the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The two brothers, when fighting together, could fight Thatch to a standstill and also hold off a Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters.

"Moohahaha! Looks like you recognize us! That's right, we're the great pirates with a bounty of 440 million Berries!"

The Deckard brothers laughed excitedly, clearly very proud of the bounty on their heads.

"Really? Then why does your bounty list say 220 million Berries?"

Luo Ji took out the newspapers and bounty posters he had recently bought in a frenzy and found the bounty posters for these two guys.

As expected of an elite pirate crew from the New World, they caught the eye of Whitebeard, who even sent two division commanders to recruit them.

"You wretched brat, what kind of trash are you? You don't even have a bounty on your head! I'm going to kill you!"

Wearing sharp-toothed gloves, the Deckard brothers jumped onto the Luo Ji Pirates' ship and launched a swift attack.

"Yamato, wait a minute! I want to test my swordsmanship!"

Seeing Yamato's restless movements, Luo Ji hurriedly shouted. Instead of summoning a phantom beast, he drew Kikunojo's sword "Remnant Snow" and Kin'emon's sword "Kakushin".

"Divine Snow Flow - Frosty Prison!"

"Divine Fire Stream - Blazing Flames!"

Cold white mist and raging flames emerged from Luo Ji's two swords as he faced off against the highly coordinated Deckard brothers.

The sword intent and styles in this world are amazing.

Even if you're not a Devil Fruit user, your sword intent can still transform into flames, frost, or even petal-like sword energy.

"Wow, you're amazing! You don't seem like a newbie!"

The Deckard brothers quickly coated themselves with Armament Haki to deal with the swordsman who had grasped the essence of swordsmanship.

"I'm a newbie. Didn't you just say you really don't have a bounty on me?"

"Why don't you two help me raise my bounty!"

'Ice and Fire Flow - Nine Heavens of the Sea Road!'

Luo Ji also felt that he and Yamato should do something big and get their first bounty.

"You'll destroy your pirate ship if you do that!!"

The Decalban brothers couldn't believe that this man was using such powerful swordsmanship on his own ship.

"Once the ship is gone, it's gone!"

Luo Ji's berserk sword energy surged wave after wave, engulfing the Dekalb brothers and causing the entire deck and ship's structure to collapse.

"You're insane! We admit defeat!"

The Dekalb brothers were covered in wounds, some from frozen sword wounds and others from burning sword wounds.

They hurriedly fled back to their pirate ship!

"Tough guy! Run!!"

The Dekalb brothers immediately shouted to their men that it wasn't worth fighting these lunatics.

They feared that their pirate ship would also be destroyed.

"Don't even think about running!"

"Freeze Breath!"

Yamato leaped up and unleashed a freezing breath at the Deckard brothers' pirate ship.

While not as outrageous as Aokiji Kuzan's effect, it was still enough to freeze the seawater near a pirate ship in just a few breaths.

"Hehe~! Have a good sparring session with us, you great pirate with a bounty of 440 million Berries!"

Luo Ji grinned. Since these two guys had come to him, he might as well put some bounty on them and officially show his face in this world.

"I recognize you! You're the Luo Ji Pirates, the ones with bounties on your heads in the underworld?"

"Gol D. Rogi, with a black market bounty of 5 million Berries!"

"Yamato! A bounty of 12 billion Berries is offered in the dark market!"

The Dekalb brothers seemed to remember something, and their eyes suddenly widened.

It seems they've really run into a tough opponent.

To have such a high bounty on one's head by the Beasts Pirates, who would believe it if he didn't have some real strength!

The Beasts Pirates, who might not even be as wealthy as the World Government, were given a lower bounty.

"A bounty in the underground world?"

Luo Ji raised an eyebrow. He really had very few sources of information. Apart from the information he saw in the newspapers, he had not yet come into contact with the underground dark world.

However, most pirate islands have underground branches in the dark world.

It seems that rushing around without landing on the islands to gather information is also a problem.

I need to find an opportunity to integrate into this world.

Otherwise, aside from some plot information, he really is just like Yamato, this "country girl," a "country bumpkin."

"Captain Luo Ji, we didn't mean to provoke you. We'll compensate you with the treasure on board, please let us go this time!"

The Dekalb brothers quickly said that a man with a secret reward of 5 million had put them under tremendous pressure.

How terrifying must this woman, who secretly rewards 12 billion Berry, be?

With just a breath of freezing air, they froze their pirate ship!

"Fight with us first, and we'll be good friends from now on. Having more friends means having more options."

Luo Ji smiled slightly; all he wanted to do right now was collect the bounty.

He never intended to recruit those two one-eyed, ugly men.

After all, Luo Ji and his crew are currently wanted by the Beasts Pirates, so there are probably not many people willing to join this newly formed, dangerous pirate crew.

Luo Ji only wanted to learn some information about the underground dark world through the two of them.

Once they join the Whitebeard Pirates, they'll have another person to contact, and they can annoy Blackbeard when necessary.
