"Whoosh!"
Roger's sword energy swept through, instantly slicing over a hundred people in front of him in half at the waist. Among them was Grimm.
The sword energy came too fast and too fiercely, leaving no one time to react before being cut in half.
As for Grimm, he had no idea what "evasion" meant.
In less than two seconds, the tavern street was littered with a large pile of severed bodies. It was extremely gruesome.
Citizens who had been living by the street and peeking through the cracks in the windows were so terrified they rolled into the toilet to vomit.
Roger immediately sensed the annihilation of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates and muttered to himself, "Oops, I lost control of my strength for a moment…"
He originally just wanted to do a normal attack, but unexpectedly, a "9999999999" popped out!
This was truly unbearable!
Shanks and the others quickly rushed to the tavern entrance and found Grimm, also cut in half by Roger like the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, but he was restored to his original state under a beam of holy light.
Shanks and the others were already accustomed to such scenes of slaughter. After a brief moment of surprise, they had no further reaction.
Buggy, on the other hand, was fascinated by Grimm's ability. As a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, even if Roger cut him a hundred million times, he wouldn't be harmed.
However, seeing Grimm's restoration, he was even more shocked. This was true immortality!
"Roger, it seems you've wiped out the Maelstrom Spider Pirates…" Rayleigh said, standing beside Roger at the tavern entrance!
"Y-yes, well, I just lost control of my strength for a moment…" Roger scratched his head sheepishly.
"No, they haven't all been wiped out yet!"
Grimm, who had reconnected his body, suddenly spoke up, pointing his sword towards a house. The leader of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates had just stood up from the ruins.
He had been lucky to dodge Roger's attack after being kicked away by Grimm. It was unknown whether Grimm had saved his life.
"Ah… ah…"
Seeing the bodies of his companions, severed in half at Grimm's feet, Squard was so grief-stricken he couldn't speak.
A hoarse sound came from his throat, and his mind was on the verge of collapse. He knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Grimm looked at Squard's state, shook his head, sheathed the Ash Messenger into his system space, and walked over to Squard, shaking his head helplessly.
He said with great provocation: "These were all done by Roger. You can't blame me, you know!"
"Hey! Grimm!"
Rayleigh frowned helplessly, but he didn't stop Grimm. Grimm was very angry. Although killing these low-level pirates didn't yield much reward points, even a mosquito's leg was still a leg. As a result, Roger had snatched them all away. How infuriating!
Grimm decided to annoy Roger.
"Roger, you are too cruel. You wiped out the Maelstrom Spider Pirates just like that. I only killed a few people, but you went and did it all at once. Look how sad the little pink-haired guy is! Even the Holy Light blames you!"
If one were to summarize Roger's current mood with a classic phrase, it would be: "What you said makes so much sense, I'm utterly speechless…"
Roger himself was not good with words. More than ninety percent of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates were cut down by his own hand just now, so it wasn't wrong to say he wiped them out.
But why did it feel a little off?
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu!" Squard roared. Under Grimm's highly provocative words, he had completely lost his mind. He grabbed his great saber and charged at Roger.
"Captain!"
Shanks and Buggy were the first to block Roger's path, but Roger pulled them aside, allowing Squard to slash at him.
Then, Squard's saber was sent flying!
Colorless, odorless, transparent gas Armament Haki. Extremely powerful.
Due to the recoil, Squard fell to the ground. Roger sheepishly touched his curved mustache: "If I say it was unintentional, will you forgive me?"
"Yaaaaaaaah!"
Squard picked up the great saber from the ground again and swung it down. It was blocked by Roger's fingers. Roger said helplessly: "I really didn't do it intentionally. Besides, your companion is too weak…"
Too weak?
He killed my people and then mocked me! Squard became even more enraged and continuously swung his great saber at Roger, while Roger blocked all attacks with his hands.
When Roger blocked the twentieth blow, Grimm helplessly put his hands behind his head and walked back into the tavern: "Roger, I think you should finish him off. Living is more painful than dying! I'm going in for two more drinks…"
"Hey! You!"
Buggy looked at Grimm angrily. Although he, Buggy, was weak, he wasn't blind and idiotic like Kizaru. He knew it was Grimm's sword energy that caused this just now!
"Who told you to just watch the show? Watching a show comes at a price!" Returning to the tavern, Grimm pulled out a chair, drank his beer, and watched how Roger planned to handle the situation.
It's great to have something to watch.
For two consecutive days, Captain Squard of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates made a total of thirty-seven assassination attempts and challenges against Roger, all ending in failure.
The Roger Pirates couldn't bear to kill Squard, and after each of these thirty-seven battles, they let Squard go.
This afternoon, the twenty-eighth battle. Not only Roger but even Plank, who was supposed to be guarding the ship, came to watch. Guarding the ship, such a great task, was naturally handed over to Jiana.
"This guy's behavior is really annoying!" Inuarashi said, looking at Grimm, who was drinking meat and watching the show.
"Sigh~~ It can't be helped. This matter is indeed partly our responsibility!" Nekomamushi said, twitching his ears!
"If you want revenge, you can come anytime. But before that…"
Roger, blocking Squard's attack, pressed down on the saber with his finger and exerted force, directly cutting Squard's great saber into two pieces: "Improve your skills properly."
Squard looked at his broken saber and knelt on the ground, his expression blank, as if he had lost the will to live!
"Okay, the thirty-eighth battle is declared over!" Shanks jumped up excitedly.
"Stop this boring battle. That spider is really something. The captain clearly doesn't want to kill him, so hurry up and leave!" Buggy said disdainfully, looking at Squard, who couldn't get up in the distance!
"I welcome him to come and take my head anytime," Roger said with a smile. "However, his strength is too poor!"
Seeing this, Grimm knew that this matter was coming to an end.
After a few drinks with Plank, Grimm sent Plank back because Grimm had a premonition that Whitebeard's people would arrive soon.
He told Plank to sail away first, so that if he couldn't win, he could use Hearthstone to return. Sometimes, one had to be a bit cowardly when necessary!
