"Limitless Pirates' Eldest Princess Esdeath fought against Vice Admiral Zephyr, ultimately losing, getting injured, and fleeing!"
"Another Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit has appeared in the World. The one who possesses it is actually her?"
"Shocking! A seventeen-year-old female Grand Swordmaster, she is actually Esdeath, who inherited the sword road talent of the World's Greatest Swordsman!"
"..."
The next day, the newspaper from the World Economic News Agency about Esdeath and Zephyr's great battle at Sea spread throughout the World.
As Nox's child and the Eldest Princess of the Limitless Pirates, Esdeath could be said to be the focus of the entire World's attention.
After the newspaper about her was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Oh my heavens, a seventeen-year-old Grand Swordmaster? I remember that the World's Greatest Swordsman Nox broke the record for the youngest Grand Swordmaster in the World at the age of sixteen. His daughter's sword road talent is actually this strong!"
"gura rara rara, the Marine has really lost face this time. I remember more than ten years ago, Vice Admiral Zephyr went to capture sixteen-year-old Nox and was escaped by Nox. Later, Nox rose with an invincible posture. Now, Vice Admiral Zephyr can't even capture Nox's seventeen-year-old daughter. So I dare to be sure that Esdeath will also rise strongly like Nox in the future!"
"Come, come, let's place bets and see how many years it will take for Esdeath to defeat Vice Admiral Zephyr in the future!"
"Esdeath really embarrassed Nox, being beaten and running away in front of a Marine Admiral!"
"What Limitless Pirates' Eldest Princess, it's all just talk!"
"..."
As the report on Esdeath appeared on the Sea, many people were discussing it, some praising her, and others belittling her.
"gura rara rara, Nox has a good daughter. She can escape from Zephyr's hands at such a young age and has even reached the realm of a Grand Swordmaster!"
Whitebeard picked up today's newspaper and read it. He was quite interested in Nox's daughter.
"Whitebeard, that Esdeath is just so-so. When I see her in the future, I will definitely defeat her!"
Seeing Whitebeard praise Nox's daughter so much, Marco was still very unconvinced. What was there to praise about just escaping from Zephyr's hands? She didn't defeat Zephyr.
"gura rara rara, I told Nox back then that if our child meet in the future, we should make our child beat the other's child until they cry. You must fight for me then, don't get beaten until you cry by the other side!"
Seeing Marco's somewhat jealous look, Whitebeard laughed heartily.
"Whitebeard, don't worry, I won't lose!"
Marco said confidently.
"Hee hee hee hee hee, Nox's daughter is becoming formidable! I wonder if my two rascals will live up to expectations in the future!"
Golden Lion looked at the report on Esdeath and couldn't help but think of his two sons.
Back when they were in the Rocks Pirates, Nox, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion were bragging together, and they bragged about their child.
At that time, Golden Lion thought that since Nox and Whitebeard both had child, how could he not? So he went and had two sons.
Now, his two sons are secretly hidden by him, trained from a young age, and in a few more years, they will be capable of bearing his name on the Sea!
"Gaenie, whose swordsmanship is stronger, hers or yours?"
After Hawkeye Mihawk saw the news about Esdeath, a flash of light flickered in his eyes, and he immediately asked Gaenie beside him. Female Great Swordsmen are very rare in this World.
At least, since he was born until now, Esdeath is the only female Grand Swordmaster he has heard of or known about.
"Uh, how to say, we each have our strengths. I had already left the Limitless Sea before I became a Grand Swordmaster, and I haven't sparred with my sister in the past year, so even if you ask me, I don't know!"
"But my sister and I are different. I inherited my father's Limitless Sword Style, and my sister inherited my father's Bloodlust Sword Dao."
Gaenie said.
"When I meet her, I will challenge her!"
Hawkeye Mihawk said firmly.
"Uh, suit yourself, but I advise you to pray for yourself then!"
"Oh, by the way, remember to call me to watch the battle then. At least when I'm there, she'll give me some face and won't hack you to death."
Gaenie seemed to suddenly remember the scene of being bullied by his sister, so he quickly said to Hawkeye Mihawk. He didn't want this guy Hawkeye to be hacked to death by his sister!
Kamsin Island:
The next afternoon, just as Shakky had predicted, Zephyr truly arrived at Kamsin Island for resupply the next day.
Zephyr, who was resupplying at the Marine branch, suddenly frowned, then rushed out of the Marine branch with a solemn expression, looking forward!
"How could he appear here!"
As soon as Zephyr came out, he saw Nox slowly walking towards him.
He hadn't expected Nox to appear in the North Blue, and he even less expected that Nox would appear before him today, just yesterday he had almost captured Nox's daughter.
Was he here to avenge his daughter?
But how did Nox know he was here? And why did Nox appear in the North Blue so quickly?
Could it be that Nox and his daughter Esdeath were both in the North Blue in the first place?
"Everyone, retreat immediately, evacuate this island!"
Although Zephyr had many questions in his heart, there was no time to think now. He immediately roared at the entire Marine branch.
He felt a strong killing intent from Nox. Facing Nox, Marines who hadn't reached the Admiral level were too fragile. He didn't want to sacrifice the future of those Marines in vain.
"You don't need to shout, because the moment I appeared, their lives were no longer in their own hands!"
Just as Zephyr finished speaking, Nox's cold voice came over.
At the same time, Nox's vast and boundless blood-red Haoshoku Haki soared into the sky, and blood-colored lightning covered the entire island.
Whether it was the Marine branch behind Zephyr, the warships docked at the port for resupply, or all the people living on this island, and the newspaper birds circling in the sky.
Under the shroud of Nox's peerless Haoshoku Haki, they all lost consciousness in an instant.
"Nox, how did you know I was here!"
Zephyr asked solemnly.
He knew he couldn't stop Nox's Haoshoku Haki, so he tried his best to calm himself down.
The person before him was Nox, he had to be extremely careful.
"Meaningless probing!"
"Zephyr, from the moment you dared to hit my daughter, you were destined to die under my sword!"
Nox slowly walked towards Zephyr. With every step he took, his aura grew stronger.
The Seven Star Sword was already unsheathed. The Haoshoku Haki that had erupted earlier retracted, all compressed onto the sword body.
Blood-red lightning centered around the Seven Star Sword, unleashing countless bolts of lightning towards Zephyr.
Logically speaking, the intimidation of Haoshoku Haki is useless against top powerhouses, but at this moment, Zephyr felt an incredibly powerful oppressive force pressing down on him, making his entire body sting.
It felt as if steel plates with sharp spikes were squeezing him from all directions. This feeling only lessened after he covered his entire body with Busoshoku Haki to block it, but it couldn't be completely isolated.
"How can Haoshoku Haki be this powerful!"
Zephyr was extremely shocked internally. This level of Haoshoku Haki completely exceeded his own understanding of Haoshoku Haki. He had never seen Haoshoku Haki that could affect top powerhouses with distant intimidation.
"He actually ate a Devil Fruit too!"
However, what shocked Zephyr the most was not Nox's Haoshoku Haki, but that he saw Nox suddenly transform into a human-beast form!
One must know that before Nox ate a Devil Fruit, he already possessed the powerful strength to kill top-tier combatants alone. Now that the opponent has eaten a Devil Fruit, his strength will definitely become even more powerful on this basis.
And given his status, the Devil Fruit he ate must be a top-tier Devil Fruit. Now it seems very likely to be a special Animal-Type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!!!"
As Nox transformed into his human-beast form, blood light and Haoshoku Haki intertwined around him. More importantly, powerful and invisible ultra-high frequency sound waves combined with Haoshoku Haki.
With the appearance of the ultra-high frequency sound waves, an invisible storm instantly swept across a ten-mile radius!
All the buildings within this range were instantly destroyed, and the ground was even forcibly torn open with gaping abysses under this power.
Most importantly, these were just overflowing forces. The true ultra-high frequency sound wave power, like the blood-colored lightning generated by Haoshoku Haki, surged towards Zephyr's body from all directions.
At this moment, Zephyr felt as if he was in an endless, continuous attack. The impact of the ultra-high frequency sound wave power was incredibly subtle, yet incredibly powerful.
That power even specifically attacked his ears, eyes, nose, crotch, anus, and other vulnerable areas.
Even though his entire body was covered in Busoshoku Haki for defense, under this continuous attack of Haoshoku Haki combined with ultra-high frequency sound waves, his entire body began to ache intensely.
If his willpower hadn't been incredibly firm, he might have already been screaming continuously!
Zephyr knew that he couldn't just sit and wait for death. Otherwise, under this continuous attack, he might not even need Nox to make a move; he would be the first to collapse!
"Go to hell!"
Zephyr roared, stomped his foot forcefully, creating a huge crater, and the entire person shot towards Nox like a rocket.
"Life Return · Limb Limit Enhancement!"
"Blood Boiling!"
The moment Zephyr moved, his two most extreme enhancement abilities were applied to his body, instantly allowing Nox to reach his most powerful state.
"Blood Shadow Step!"
With a full burst of power from his feet, Nox transformed into a blood-colored afterimage and disappeared from his original spot. His speed was so fast that even Zephyr's naked eyes couldn't capture any trace of him, only barely able to see faint blood traces with Kenbunshoku Haki.
Most importantly, that blood shadow was not rushing towards Zephyr, but constantly moving around Zephyr.
This caused Zephyr to instantly brake and stop after his furious charge, continuously rotating his body to prevent Nox's sneak attack.
"I see it, over here!"
Suddenly, Zephyr's Kenbunshoku Haki saw a streak of blood shadow rapidly rushing from behind!
