This kid actually took it seriously, huh?
Watching Ace standing with arms akimbo, grinning confidently, everyone exchanged glances and were speechless.
One can only say.
This kid truly deserves to be the highest bounty among this generation's Super Rookie, and probably unrivaled in arrogance—no one in the same generation can match him...
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just wondering where everyone went, turns out y'all are here, what a lively gathering!"
Just then, a brazen laughter broke out:
"Endgame's members are all here, Kuina, Kuma, Jack... and the main figure of today's event, the World's No.1 Sword Master, Shano!"
Are there other top fighters?
Everyone turned their heads in unison to look.
They saw a robust man with spiky red hair baring his teeth and striding over. His sturdy figure had an open shirt revealing a huge scar on his chest.
It seemed to be a wound left by the Peacekeepers not long ago, not even bandaged, loosely wrapped with a few torn pieces of cloth from his pants, adding an unruly aura to him.
Behind him followed a brawny man wearing a mask.
"Eustass Kid, bounty 300 million Belly, Slaughter Samurai Kira, bounty 165 million Belly."
Kuma flipped through the warrant and softly said:
"Ranked second among this generation's Super Rookie, the captain and deputy captain of the Kid Pirates, such high bounties are due to the massacre of 19 towns and villages, and 6 ports since setting sail."
"Big guy, seems like you're good at gathering intelligence!"
Kid grinned, not even bothering to look at Kuma, his fiery gaze directly fixated on Shano:
"Hey, Shano! I heard you just chopped a Heavenly Celestial Dragon? Good job, that's my kind of guts! But you can't hog all the limelight..."
"So, come on!"
He laughed wildly, pointing at himself with his thumb, "Face me in a match! If you lose, hand over all the fame, prestige, and the so-called world's number one title you've gained today to me!"
The scene immediately fell silent.
Zoro and Sanji had peculiar expressions, Ace stared at the guy in shock, and Law raised his eyebrows, with a trace of pity in his glance...
"Hey, mask-wearing guy."
Law spoke softly to Kira, "As the leader, being blinded by fame and doing something reckless is normal, but you, shouldn't you be more sober and try to dissuade your leader?"
"Once Kid decides something, no one can change it." Kira responded in a low voice, "I also..."
"Shut up, Kira! There's nothing to talk about with such small fry!"
Kid coldly interrupted, "Hey, what's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Respond to me, Shano!"
"Not interested."
Shano didn't even raise his eyelids or acknowledge the guy's intentions, he casually gestured to Jack: "Too noisy, deal with it."
Even though they are both Super Rookies.
He's quite close with people like Tashigi and Zoro, and if they wish to challenge him, he wouldn't mind sparing some time to slowly toy with the juniors.
But Kid, being such scum, forget it.
He's not qualified.
What's suitable for him isn't a Martial Arts Dojo, but a morgue.
"Understood, boss!"
Jack, having heard Kuma's description of Kid earlier, naturally understood what Shano meant by 'deal with it'.
Boom! He immediately grinned menacingly as he stepped forward.
His burly eight-meter-three frame with knotted muscles cast a massive shadow over Kid, imposing.
"Don't underestimate people, bastard!"
Kid's eyes inevitably flashed with a hint of seriousness, but he furiously exploded, "Sending a minor character to fool people, what does that mean, hey! Where's your guts from killing a Heavenly Celestial Dragon earlier? Now you don't even have the courage to fight me!"
Even if that Jack is the highest cadre, so what? Not enough!
He's the most evil newcomer from the South Sea, Captain Kid after all!!!
A general against a general, a king against a king, only Shano is qualified to be his opponent!
"Get lost! Big guy, don't block my way!"
Kid suddenly spread his arms, activating his ability, surrounding massive metal fragments immediately attracted by Magnetic Force, discarded swords, shell fragments... even the distant Paradise entrance sign all flew over, attaching to his arms.
In just a few seconds, they formed two gigantic mechanical hands, clashing heavily at his chest, feeling the abundant power, Kid's mouth also grinned to his ears.
He trusts the ability he's developed; before reaching Shampodi, this ability has never disappointed him!
"Magnetic Force·Mechanical Giant Fist!"
Rumbling!
The huge mechanical fist suddenly slammed towards Jack, the air compressed into explosive sounds, and the ground along its path blasted open under the impact.
This destructive power is terrifying.
But Jack merely snorted contemptuously, not even interested in using Armament Haki, standing with arms crossed without moving.
Thud!
The mechanical giant fist smashed heavily onto Jack, yet left not a single mark, instead twisted by the recoil force, metal parts flying apart.
How could it be...
Through the gaps of the flying metal fragments, seeing Jack motionless, Kid's pupils shrank, cold sweat trickled down.
"Is this all you have?"
Jack mocked, raising his gigantic palm and slamming it down, "Seems like your 300 million Belly bounty isn't worth much..."
Back when his bounty was a few billion, he even faced off against Kaido and Aokiji!
