Island of Spring.

This is one of the five cherry blossom islands in Oyichi, and it is also the most prosperous island among them. The climate on the entire island is spring every year, so it is also called the Spring Island.

On a certain street on Haruno Island, there is an atmosphere that is completely different from the floating cherry blossoms... tension, depression and fear.

"What are you going to do? This is the greatest cherry blossom manor on Haruka Island. You can't do this!"

A skinny old man fell to the ground and looked at the group of pirates with a ferocious face appearing in the manor, gritting his teeth and struggling to speak with difficulty.

Bang!

One foot stepped on the old man's chest and stomped him back to the ground. The owner of the foot was a vicious pirate with a fleshy face and sharp teeth. He looked down at the old man under his feet, and smiled with a ferocious look:

"I heard that you don't welcome pirates here?"

“…”

The old man was trampled and couldn't breathe, and he couldn't answer at all.

The pirate grinned and said, "What a joke, do you know what era it is now? The era of the Great Pirate! What beauty and peace have been ended more than ten years ago!"

"Since it is the greatest manor, you must have a lot of treasures here. If you don't want to die, just hand them over them all!"

Another pirate walked to the side with a portable cannon and grinned.

The old man took a hard breath and said word by word: "This... the most precious treasure here... is these cherry blossom trees..."

"Ah? What kind of treasure is a cherry blossom tree?"

The two pirates looked at each other and couldn't help but cut.

At this time, dozens of pirates were wandering in the manor. Someone rushed into the villa in the middle of the manor. There were bursts of sounds of porcelain breaking in the villa.

Soon a few people walked out of it and cursed, "There is nothing, I haven't even seen a gold coin, where are the treasures hidden?"

After many pirates rampant in the Sakura Manor, they all found nothing and soon gathered under a cherry blossom tree at the entrance of the manor.

The captain "moving weapons" Batra looked at the old man guarding the manor with a ferocious look on his face, and lifted him up with his neck, saying:

"Damn it, where did you hide all your treasures?"

"This... there is nothing you want here..."

The old man spoke in a difficult tone and said, "I...I said... the most precious thing here is these...the cherry blossom trees that have grown for hundreds of years..."

Bang!

Batra showed an angry look on his face. He specifically asked where the island is the most famous. The final answer was this cherry blossom manor. After running over, there was nothing, only a cherry blossom tree in the manor?!

"I think you don't want to live anymore!"

His eyes became extremely cold, and he threw the old man on the ground. His arms suddenly turned into silver fluid, which instantly solidified into a long sword, pressing against the old man's neck.

The old man took a hard breath, and there was no fear in his eyes. He just lay there dyingly, without any resistance to the long sword against his neck.

Batra stared at the old man for a few seconds, and suddenly grinned.

"very good."

"Is the most precious thing the cherry tree? Then I will take away the most precious thing!"

The moment he finished speaking, he looked at his subordinates around him and shouted, "Burn for me, burn all the trees, don't leave a single one!"

The old man who had been waiting to die closed his eyes and suddenly saw this sentence, his eyes were instantly bursting. He struggled and climbed up, grabbed the sword turned into by Batra's arm with both hands, and said, "You...you can't do this! This manor is..."

"It's so noisy!"

Batra turned his arm back to his original form, and did not stab the old man to death with a sword, but kicked the old man away, causing him to fall to the distance without any force, and watched Batra's subordinates begin to destroy cherry blossom trees in the manor.

boom!

A cherry blossom tree was hit by a cannonball, ignited by flames, and quickly burned. The pink cherry blossom petals turned into golden red in the flames, like a sunset that was about to disappear.

The old man struggled to get up to stop him, but his aging body had tormented for several years and it was difficult to stand up, so he could only watch this scene.

"Devil...you are demons..."

And just as the old man was about to collapse, a voice suddenly came from a distance.

“What a beautiful view.”

Rhodes and Lafitte walked in from outside the manor. A hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. After sweeping across the entire cherry blossom manor, it fell on the burning cherry blossom tree.

When Rhodes and Lafitte came in, many pirates such as Batra came over. They were not the Straw Hats group, and they still knew about the supernova with a bounty of over 100 million in the first half of the Great Route, and soon recognized Rhodes' identity.

"You are... Ghost Hand Rhodes!"

"And the Devil Sheriff."

After recognizing Rhodes' identity, Batra and others' expressions suddenly became solemn. In the first half of the great route today, Rhodes's is the most popular figure in the supernova!

No one expected to meet Rhodes here.

Staying on the burning cherry tree for a few seconds, Rhodz looked at Batra and others and said, "It just happened to be your funeral, but it seems a bit too luxurious."

“…”

Batra's face turned gloomy when he heard Rhodes' words.

He still has some understanding of the information about the Ghost Hand Pirates. All the things this group of pirates do are black and black. If you appear here, you may have completely targeted them.

"Have you set your sights on us... It's not that easy to take away Bailey's head worth 160 million. Beware of your teeth falling apart."

Rhodes smiled faintly.

Whoosh!

Rodz, who was standing there with his hands behind his back, suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of Batra, and his palms fluttered on Batra's chest.

The twisting force suddenly exploded.

boom!

Batra's chest instantly turned and twisted like mud, and collapsed with him, but it was strangely not bleeding, but turned into a pile of light silver liquid.

After the liquid flowed for a while, it quickly raised and gathered, turning into a human form again.

"captain……"

"Unshot."

Seeing this scene, many pirates who were originally shocked by Rhodes' speed breathed a sigh of relief, and a grim smile appeared on their faces.

So far, only one of the enemies they encountered could hurt Batra, but he was still defeated by Batra. Although Rhodes's bounty was as high as 300 million, they still had absolute confidence in their captain's terrifying ability!

"What, so famous, it turns out that it's only this level."

"Spiral flying blade!"
