#138 - Chapter 138 World Destroyer
Dorry's gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, instantly sweeping across the surroundings.
This included Jinbei and Crocodile.
However, his eyes merely glanced over them, without the slightest pause.
Dorry knew clearly that Jinbei and his companions had no reason to commit such a despicable act, let alone carry it out.
In his eyes, Jinbei and the others radiated the pride and confidence unique to the strong.
If people with this kind of aura could do such a thing, he would jump straight into the sea from here.
Dorry frowned slightly, his gaze turning to the distance, his vision piercing through every clump of bushes, behind every shadow of leaves.
A chill rose in Dorry's heart. Who would launch a sneak attack on him at this time? And when did this enemy approach so silently?
"Are you giants really that durable?"
With a contemptuous and conceited taunt, Dorry's gaze instantly turned in that direction.
The owner of the voice slowly walked out of the dense forest, his silhouette gradually becoming clearer with each approaching step.
He sized up Dorry, scrutinizing the charred giant before him.
A playful smile hung on his lips, extremely satisfied with the scene before him.
His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke made the two giants present feel very uncomfortable.
They felt as if they were being treated like merchandise, freely judged by the man before them.
"My interest in you is growing stronger and stronger."
The man stopped, arms crossed, his gaze wandering over Dorry and Brogy, as if evaluating something.
Then, his gaze turned to Crocodile and Jinbei next to the giants, a look of surprise and delight on his face.
"How about becoming my subordinates?"
His words were filled with an arrogance that brooked no refusal.
It seemed to him that this was a great favor to others.
"Thanks for leading the way,"
he said to Jinbei and the others, his tone tinged with a hint of improper jest.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered that besides Elbaf, there are such sturdy giants on the sea."
A trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, yet he could not conceal his intention to plunder.
Crocodile and Jinbei exchanged a look, both sensing an unusual aura from the newcomer's words.
"You should know who I am, right?"
Crocodile sized up the other party, feeling that he had seen that face somewhere before.
This mysterious figure who claimed to be interested in the giant race was clearly the kind of person who was not easy to deal with.
"Newbies are just newbies, they don't understand the rules at all."
The newcomer stood there, as if the whole world was at his feet. This confidence and domineering aura made people have to look at him with new respect.
As the words fell, the air seemed to become heavy, and all the sounds were suppressed by this chilling atmosphere.
The newcomer's face showed a hint of anger. He was obviously irritated by Crocodile's ignorance.
His eyes were as sharp as swords, cutting through the tranquility of the scene.
"Newbies these days are really getting worse and worse,"
the man sneered, his voice brimming with undisguised sarcasm and disdain.
"Actually rushing to be a dog for the Navy."
Crocodile's eyebrows rose slightly. Faced with Diabondo's provocation and contempt, his reaction was surprisingly calm, but the cold light in his eyes shone like cold stars.
"I'm happy to be a dog for the Navy. As long as it allows me to increase my strength, I can do anything."
"The Navy has given me a lot of benefits."
"Can you... afford it?"
In the face of the other party's provocative gaze, Crocodile appeared particularly calm, not taking the other party's words to heart at all.
"Hahahaha hahaha!! You've achieved a sense of accomplishment from being a dog!"
Diabondo seemed unwilling to waste any more time. His tone changed abruptly, from sarcasm to announcement, "I, Byrnndi World, will clear you, this anomaly, from the pirate ranks today."
With his strength and reputation among the pirates, he had enough confidence to say such a thing.
Byrnndi World's body leaned forward slightly as he spoke, bending down to pick up a stone from the ground, tossing it up and down.
Hearing the other party's name, Crocodile's eyes suddenly shrank, as if pierced by a sharp weapon, shock and vigilance flashing alternately in his pupils.
"Byrnndi World?"
Crocodile's voice, though as ghostly and low, could not conceal the surprise within.
This name was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his mind.
The resounding name made Crocodile unable to help but respond, calling out Byrnndi World's nickname in the great pirate world.
"World Destroyer?"
Although he was initially shocked that the legendary figure would appear in this 'Paradise'.
But the shock quickly dissipated in Crocodile's heart, replaced by an unspeakable excitement.
This excitement, like a storm waiting to erupt, filled every nerve in his body, making his blood seem to boil.
"It's good to be famous, I just like fighting strong people."
Crocodile's voice was full of uncontrollable frenzy and provocation. He grinned, revealing a dangerous smile.
His gaze stared sharply and firmly at the other party, as if saying, "Come on, let's see who is the real strongman."
In his opinion, fighting with the strong was not only a battle, but also a kind of glory, an opportunity for self-transcendence.
Completely different from the challenge that Crocodile showed, Brogy and Dorry faced Byrnndi World's name with a face full of confusion and incomprehension.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
"Who is Byrnndi World?"
Dorry scratched his head involuntarily, his expression revealing curiosity about this unknown name.
Brogy also showed a dazed look. He coughed lightly, trying to hide his ignorance.
Muttering to himself as if no one else was there, his eyes blinked a few times, then he shrugged his shoulders lightly, his expression carrying a relaxed "none of my business".
In the era when Brogy and Dorry were famous and made a name for themselves on the sea, Byrnndi World may have been just an unknown newcomer, far from entering the center of their circle.
Byrnndi World faced the confused giants with only a faint smile.
In his hand, an ordinary pebble-sized stone seemed to be touched by some kind of force, and it began to grow larger and larger, gradually presenting a staggering volume.
As the stone continued to expand, Byrnndi World's arm also seemed to become more powerful, ready to go.
He still looked relaxed, just like throwing small stones on the beach.
Suddenly, his movements tightened, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly threw the huge stone like a small mountain into the sky with force.
The air produced a twisted fluctuation due to this sudden action, and the huge stone drew an amazing arc in the air, bringing a gust of wind.
"You will soon remember my name firmly in your hearts!"
Byrnndi World's words were full of a domineering aura that belonged to him alone, spreading throughout the entire field.
His contemptuous smile and strong actions all showed an extraordinary strength.
And his words, like a boulder thrown out, left a deep impression in the hearts of everyone present.
Looking at the approaching giant stone.
Whether it was Crocodile or Brogy and Dorry, it seemed that they could not deny that they would never forget the name Byrnndi World in their entire lives.
