One Piece: Silent-Silent Fruit

Chapter 393 44

"What an arrogant little brat," Boa Python sneered coldly.

"I'd really like to see just who could possibly have more face than me."

The Beasts Pirates had always acted lawlessly and without restraint. Naturally, they wouldn't be intimidated by a few words from Law.

With the Beasts Pirates' savage nature, even when facing the Whitebeard Pirates, Boa Python would never show fear.

The Beasts Pirates simply did not understand what fear was.

In recent years, Kaido himself had frequently challenged Whitebeard. Though he lost every time, Whitebeard still couldn't truly do anything to Kaido either.

Because of that, even when facing Whitebeard's crew, Boa Python still possessed a certain level of confidence.

At the very least, he had the courage to stand before them.

As he spoke, Boa Python began walking directly toward Dressrosa.

But before he could proceed farther, Law and the newly arrived Lao G and the others blocked his path.

"We've already sent someone to notify Young Master," Law said in a deep voice.

"Until we receive his reply, you cannot pass."

"You can tell us your purpose first. Perhaps I can make the decision myself."

"Brat, who do you think you are?" Boa Python said coldly.

"This isn't something you're qualified to decide."

"Don't think that becoming one of the Donquixote Family's so-called top officers gives you the right to act arrogantly in front of me."

"And don't think the Seven Warlords can compare to the Four Emperors."

"You're far too inexperienced."

"The Four Emperors are indeed powerful," Law replied calmly, "but unfortunately, you are not one of those emperors."

"Young Master is currently entertaining an honored guest, so you'll have to wait here a little longer."

"You people think you can stop me?" Boa Python laughed coldly.

"Do you even know who I am?"

"Looks like I was too polite this time around, which made you idiots think you could push your luck."

"If you think you can stop me…"

"Then try it."

"I'll smash every last one of you into paste."

As he spoke, Boa Python completely ignored their blockade and continued walking forward.

A terrifying aura spread from his body, enveloping Law and the others.

Cold sweat instantly appeared across their foreheads.

But these people had already survived years in the New World.

They weren't weaklings who could be suppressed by intimidation alone.

The moment Boa Python stepped into their attack range—

They moved.

Lao G and Gladius attacked almost simultaneously.

"Gyaaaah!"

Lao G threw out a heavy punch.

Facing one of the Beasts Pirates' three great Calamities, he naturally didn't dare hold back in the slightest.

The moment the battle began, he had already activated the ultimate secret technique of the Jio-Ken style, restoring his body to its strongest state.

A violent shockwave burst from his punch as it slammed into Boa Python.

At the same time, Gladius rushed forward and pressed both hands against Boa Python's body.

His arms rapidly expanded—

BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted instantly.

"What are you idiots doing?" Boa Python said mockingly as the smoke cleared.

"Trying to scratch an itch for me?"

When the smoke dispersed, he was still standing there completely unharmed.

The only thing visible in his eyes was ridicule and contempt.

"Not a scratch…" Lao G muttered in shock.

"One of the Four Emperors' top officers really is a monster…" Gladius said grimly.

"ROOM!"

In an instant, Law appeared directly in front of Boa Python and slashed downward with his sword.

CLANG!

Sparks exploded everywhere.

The place where the blade struck had become coated in dense Armament Haki, forcibly blocking Law's slash.

"So you're Law," Boa Python said disdainfully.

"I heard your Op-Op Fruit can cut through anything within your space without causing pain."

"But now it seems that's all nonsense."

"There's no such thing as cutting through everything."

"As long as someone's Armament Haki is strong enough, your ability becomes completely useless."

As he spoke, the lower half of Boa Python's body suddenly transformed into a gigantic serpent tail.

In the blink of an eye, he became a monstrous half-human, half-python creature.

The enormous tail swept across the battlefield violently.

Boom!

Law, Lao G, and the others were instantly blasted away together.

"I originally had some expectations," Boa Python said with disappointment.

"But now it seems you're nothing special after all."

"You should understand now, right?"

"The Seven Warlords and the Four Emperors exist on entirely different levels."

"One side are emperors who rule the seas."

"The other are merely watchdogs raised by the World Government."

"And me? I am one of the strongest forces beneath those emperors."

"As for you…"

"You're nothing more than dogs beneath the watchdogs."

"There's a fundamental difference between us."

After speaking, Boa Python twisted his massive serpent tail and continued heading toward the King's Plateau, completely ignoring everyone behind him.

"So this is the 'greatest power beneath the emperors' you're so proud of?" Law slowly stood back up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"To me… it's nothing impressive."

Lao G and the others also climbed back to their feet, their expressions dark as they once again blocked Boa Python's path.

"You really want to die that badly?" Boa Python's forehead bulged with veins.

He crossed his arms before his chest, but the gigantic serpent tail beneath him lashed out at terrifying speed toward Law and the others.

Meanwhile, on the King's Plateau—

Trebol hurried back into the palace and pushed open the doors to the hall.

Seeing Trebol return so quickly, Doflamingo initially thought the matter had already been resolved, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face.

But then he noticed Trebol's grim expression.

Trebol walked directly beside him and whispered something into his ear.

Instantly—

Doflamingo's face darkened completely.

Veins bulged across his forehead.

"Oh?" Rosinante smiled faintly.

"So it's the Beasts Pirates causing trouble?"

"Need my help, Doffy?"

Although Trebol had spoken quietly, Rosinante's Observation Haki was powerful enough to hear every single word clearly.

"No need," Doflamingo replied with a low laugh.

"It's only one of Kaido's Three Calamities. I can handle it myself."

"Fufufu… although after this, I would appreciate it if you could help smooth things over with Kaido."

"Offending that unreasonable monster would be troublesome."

"No problem," Rosinante replied as he slowly lifted his head.

A sharp light flashed through his eyes.

"I was planning to say hello to him anyway."

"To let him know…"

"I'm back."
