I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Grand Line, Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.

Inside Nine Snake Castle, a panicked and hoarse voice rang out: "Snake Princess, something terrible has happened! The power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been stripped away."

Then, a cold and beautiful woman with slender phoenix eyes walked quickly into Jiushe City and said, "Lady Snake! Navy ships have been observed at sea!"

"Heh, that little bastard really got it right." The stunningly beautiful Empress lazily sat on the throne, her hand resting on her cheek. "But... they seem to have forgotten that the reason we were able to become Shichibukai... is because of our own strength..."

Then she sat up straighter. "Kikyo! Pass my order. All national defenders must escort the citizens to evacuate Amazon Lily and head to Xiliang! The Nine Snakes Pirates, prepare to fight!"

"Yes!"

Granny Niu was bewildered: "Xiliang?"

The empress smiled sweetly and was deeply immersed in memories.

"Little bastard, what do you think we should call this island?"

"Xiliang!"

"why?"

"Because it's a country of women!"

……

Near Wano Country, there is an island shrouded in darkness. Its shape resembles a gigantic, demonic horn, a demonic head rising from the deep sea. The island stands alone on the sea, and the waves around it surge like the roar of a group of angry beasts.

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the island, like a volcanic eruption, instantly shattering the island's usual tranquility. Then, a second aura erupted, and the two auras collided violently, shaking the entire island.

An extremely tall and burly man with a pair of bull horns stared fiercely at the green-haired boy in front of him: "Little brat, you came to my territory alone and released your domineering aura so unscrupulously. Are you looking for death?"

Behind him stood a tall figure wearing an iron mask and with a pair of black wings on his back.

"Hey! Sorry!" The green algae-headed man grinned, "After all, this is enemy territory. I was just trying to scare them a little!"

And in the darkness, there is a pair of eyes hidden under a ghost mask, watching this place silently.

Kaido looked around and saw countless minions stumbling and fainting on Onigashima. He squeezed the mace in his hand and his expression gradually turned sour. "You look impressive, kid! But this world doesn't need so many kings. What do you think, Roronoa Zoro?"

The green algae-headed man slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, his smile still lingering. "I also think you've been in that position for too long. It's time to move on."

With a resounding roar, the two men attacked simultaneously without warning. In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted, even the air trembled. A dark red ball of lightning blocked the gap between the two weapons, bursting out with endless red lightning.

Above the Ghost Island, a strange phenomenon appeared, which was unique to the greetings from top-level experts—the sky cracked again!

"Oh, chuckle!" Kaido let out a deafening laugh. "As expected of a man who can beat an old woman! Little brat! Are you here to take my head?"

The green algae-headed man raised his arms, holding two swords in his hands. Feeling the terrifying force coming from the blades, his face showed excitement. "I'm not interested in your head. It's just that I just learned an interesting move and I need to find someone who can take it."

"Oh, hehe!" Kaido laughed wildly after hearing this and slowly withdrew the strength in his hands.

Zoro sensed something and also restrained his strength.

"Come on! Boy! I'll wait for you on the dome!" After Kaido said that, he turned into a giant dragon and flew into the sky.

Zoro grinned and took moon steps to catch up.

……

Wano Country, Jiuli, Bianli Village.

A huge, panting Komainu jumped out from the forest path, with people crammed onto its back.

"Hey! Sanji! Momo! Tama! Everyone!!" The leader, wearing a melon-shaped straw hat, excitedly waved to the people in front of the wooden house.

After hearing the shouts, several people showed joy on their faces: "Luffy!!"

"Brother Luffy!" Xiaoyu greeted him happily: "I'm so glad you're okay! Hmm? Where's Brother Ace?"

Luffy jumped to Tama's side and patted her head: "Ace is not imprisoned with us, but I will definitely rescue him!"

"Yeah! It's a deal!"

"Ah!" Luffy pressed his straw hat with a serious look in his eyes.

"Eh? Huh?...Who is this guy who looks like Sanji?" Luffy pointed at Sanji's sister.

"How are they the same?!?" Sanji was extremely unhappy.

"Hmm...eyebrows!" Luffy thought for a long time.

Reiju smiled slightly: "Hehe...you must be Straw Hat Luffy, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I'm Sanji's sister, my name is Reiju."

"Hey! Sanji has a sister!?" Luffy was shocked, then tilted his head and pointed at Garrett: "Hmm... who is this guy?"

Garrett frowned slightly, thinking to herself: The rude one is the Straw Hat Boy, I don't think he is better than that bastard, right?

"Hmph! She was brought back by that bastard, she's a member of the Big Mom Pirates!" Nami gets angry when she mentions this.

"Big Mom Pirates! Do you still want to take Sanji away? Do you want to fight?" Guapi obviously had a bad impression of Big Mom.

Jinbei behind him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "No, Luffy, they are all here for Brother Zoro."

The big-eared thief's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his little eyeballs began to roll around.

"For Zoro?"

So, after Usopp's explanation, Luffy suddenly realized it with a hammer of his palm, and stabbed Sanji fiercely: "Oh! So that's how it is, what! I thought it should be Sanji who brought back the bride, but I didn't expect it to be that guy Zoro!"

Sanji's defense was instantly broken and he lay down in the corner.

"Luffy!! Do you understand? They are here to form an alliance." Nami was furious when she saw Luffy's attitude. She pointed at the two people and said, "One of them represents the evil Germa! The other represents the Big Mom Pirates who are dominating Fishman Island! We absolutely cannot accept forming an alliance with them!"

Luffy tilted his head and pointed at Reiju, "As for an alliance, she's fine. Since she's Sanji's sister, we're already friends!"

Law's face turned ugly: "Hey! Straw Hat boss! I say again, alliance is not like this! Besides, she is the evil army that is hostile to the Marine Warriors - the bastard Germa!"

Luo's expression gradually turned into a childish one. "Yes, it must be her—Pink Toxic! Able to release large amounts of poison, she's a very troublesome female combatant for that bastard Jermali! As an upright reader, I firmly oppose forming an alliance with them!"

"That's right! Bastard Germa!" Sanji looked disgusted.

"You too! Invisible Black!" Luo transformed into a fishman's mouth.

"I told you! Don't call me that!" Sanji went berserk.

"Hmm..." Luffy stroked his chin, "Ah! So she's a bad guy!"

"That's right, Luffy! That's why we can't form an alliance with them." Nami fanned the flames.

"But... well... let's leave the decision to Zoro!" Luffy's IQ came online and he decisively passed the buck.

"Hehehe... He said the captain is the boss, Luffy." Robin held her cheek with her hand and asked for an explanation.

"Huh?" Luffy felt like he had been blamed for something else: "Where's Zoro?"

"Tsk, that bastard went to find Kaido and left us waiting for you here." Sanji looked unhappy.

"What! Damn it! Bastard Zoro!" Luffy clenched his fists: "We'll talk about the alliance later. My training isn't over yet!"
