Chapter 522 The Great Swordsman Who Breaks the Peace! (Two in One)

The weather was fine and the sky was clear.

At the pier of Dressrosa's harbor, people were busy and bustling. Dressrosa was originally a big country in the New World. The king who once ruled Dressrosa was even one of the 20 people who "created the world".

Before the new navy was stationed here, it was a famous and huge kingdom. After leaning on the new navy, the new navy opened up the shipping routes around Dressrosa, making it the largest and most prosperous business environment in the New World.

With a favorable geographical location, a safe maritime environment, prosperous business, and the right people and people, Dressrosa has obviously improved its national strength by several levels after years of development.

The seaside town on the port has now developed into a prosperous city. The roads on the ground are paved with bluestone slabs. On the streets on both sides of the road, there are shops lined up, and the shelves are full of various goods.

Some products are produced locally in Dressrosa, and some goods are shipped from other islands. In Dressrosa, as long as you have money, you can buy all the legal goods you can imagine.

"Oh-"

"Mr. Cyrus!"

At one end of the street, a vendor shouted in surprise, and his voice also made the shopkeepers along the street stick their heads out and look in the direction of the sound.

In the middle of the street, Cyrus was patrolling the street with a team of navy. Today, Cyrus has several positions. In addition to being a high-ranking lieutenant general of the new navy, he is also the crown prince of Dressrosa and the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's army.

Although Cyrus was born a "mud leg", King Liku III was quite satisfied with this son-in-law. Not only did he marry his daughter to Cyrus, he even handed over part of the kingdom's military and political affairs to Cyrus, and trained Cyrus as his successor.

Although he is already in a high position, Cyrus always takes time out of his busy schedule to personally lead the team to do basic things like patrolling.

Cyrus climbed up step by step from the bottom, and he knows where the dirt is most likely to hide.

Today, Dressrosa's maritime trade is prosperous, and protecting maritime safety, maintaining commercial street security, and combating smuggling have become the main daily work of the new navy.

Any of these three items that are not done well may shake the foundation of Dressrosa's trade, and no mistakes are allowed.

If King Riku wants to improve the living standards of the people, he needs a considerable level of infrastructure, and infrastructure requires money. Dressrosa's business is directly related to national development, so Cyrus will do everything himself.

He must live up to King Riku's trust in him, set a good example for his daughter Rebecca, and let his family live in a safe and prosperous country.

Cyrus had a high prestige in the hearts of the people. He led his men through the streets. Shopkeepers and pedestrians greeted Cyrus enthusiastically. These people were calm and composed, without any restraint at all, as if Cyrus was not the crown prince, but their neighbor.

"Good morning!"

"Business is booming."

Cyrus did not put on airs, and smiled and greeted the people passing by. It took a lot of effort to cross the street and come to the harbor.

When he arrived here, there were obviously fewer people greeting Cyrus. The strong men had heavy physical work to do, and they were still busy with their own things even though they were already used to Cyrus's appearance.

Cyrus stood on the coast, looking at the harbor filled with merchant ships, and asked the people around him:

"How many ships have requested to enter the port today?"

"Are there any strange ships? Is there anything unusual recently?"

While speaking, a soldier in armor came to Cyrus with a document in his hand and reported:

"Last night, 174 ships were approved to enter the port, and 27 strange ships had never been recorded."

"According to the records, the origins of these strange ships are all islands in the New World. We have also carefully checked the cargo on board, and there are no problems."

"Today, merchant ships have also begun to submit applications for entry to the port. So far, there are 17 ships."

"This is the relevant ship information."

After the sergeant quickly reported, he quickly took out a stack of information from the file bag at hand and handed it to Cyrus.

After receiving the information, Cyrus glanced at it casually and handed it back to his subordinates, saying:

"Just follow the process to check and approve these ships."

"I came here today to see the merchant ships that have been approved to enter the port."

Hearing Cyrus' words, several soldiers under his command were not surprised. This is also a small habit of Cyrus when checking ships. He will randomly select some ships that have passed the inspection and check them personally.

Especially those merchant ships that often come to the island are his key care objects. On the contrary, Cyrus's inspection efforts will be relatively small for unfamiliar ships.

Cyrus is very afraid that his team will be corrupted by interests, and he is also very strict in this regard. Half a year ago, a person in charge had an incident. Cyrus found a large number of restricted weapons on the approved ship. The incident caused a big fuss, and many people were arrested and tried.

Cyrus is a person who does things in a methodical manner. He is serious and ruthless when working, and his subordinates are also in awe of him.

Knowing that Cyrus came to inspect the ships in person, the person in charge of the harbor also hurried over and followed Cyrus to inspect some ships.

The result of the inspection also made the person in charge feel relieved. Cyrus did not find anything unusual. After encouraging him, he was ready to leave.

"Boom--"

But before everyone left the port, a loud noise came from the inner harbor.

A strong flame rose on the sea, and the roar penetrated everyone's ears. Then, the waves on the sea rolled up, and a hurricane swept towards the coast.

"Hu--"

Amid the howling wind, several subordinates following Cyrus leaned down one after another, their expressions shocked.

And Cyrus also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sea.

The explosion occurred in a large merchant ship docked on the inner harbor. The life and death of the people on the deck were unknown. In the sight of Cyrus and others, people whose clothes were set on fire could be seen screaming and falling into the sea.

The changes on the sea also made the people on the shore stop their work and look towards the sea.

"I am Zaxiz Bull."

"Hurry, go see what happened!"

"Hello? Did you hear? Answer back!"

Behind Cyrus, a middle-aged man who looked like an official quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and grabbed the microphone and ordered the person on the other side urgently, but there was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time.

Just when the people on the shore were curious about why the ship exploded, the merchant ship trapped in the sea of ​​fire was suddenly pushed away by a ship.

"Boom!!!"

A large ship pushed away the wreckage of the merchant ship with its ram and drove quickly towards the port. Under the gaze of the people, the large ship actually raised its sails, and a pirate flag appeared in the eyes of the people.

"Pirate?!"

"Pirate ship, it's a pirate ship!!!"

The next moment, the harbor of Dressrosa was immediately in chaos. The foreign merchants were horrified and didn't care about their ships and goods, and quickly fled from the harbor.

On the contrary, the local residents of Dressrosa were calmer. After seeing the pirate ship enter the port, they began to contact the guards stationed at the port.

However, what surprised people was that they could not contact the guards stationed at the port at this time.

"Something is wrong"

On the coast, Cyrus looked at the pirate ship that was quickly heading towards the coast and was the first to smell the unusual smell.

Pirate ship. The pirate ship was discovered only after entering the inner harbor? How could the guards stationed at the port neglect their duties to such an extent?

Looking back at Zaxiz Bull who was anxiously contacting his subordinates, Cyrus's face sank slightly and he said in a low voice:

"Don't shout, I'm afraid no one will answer you."

"Go, sound the alarm, and let the people in the harbor take refuge."

"Gather the troops and prepare to resist the pirates."

"By the way, ask Colonel Irene stationed in Dressrosa."

Cyrus looked calm and ordered his subordinates around him.

The new navy's original naval base in Dressrosa had long been taken over by the city defense army. Now the new navy has only one contact station here, with only a dozen navy officers, led by Captain Irene from Wan Guo.

For some unknown reason, the city defense army that was supposed to guard the port could not be contacted. Cyrus was not sure about the enemy's strength, and he did not dare to take it lightly.

Although he did not know who was so bold to attack Dressrosa, Cyrus felt that the enemy had some plans, and since the other party dared to target Dressrosa, he must have something to rely on.

After hearing Cyrus's order, Zaxiz Bull and others left in a hurry and did not stay in the harbor for long.

Cyrus also walked to the coast silently, took off the long sword on his back, and held it in his hand.

No matter who the enemy was, as the crown prince of Dressrosa, Cyrus had no intention of leaving.

Gently stroking the long sword in his hand, Cyrus stared into the distance.

On the deck of the pirate ship, Weeble looked at the prosperous town in the distance with excitement. After so many years of sailing, it was the first time that Weeble saw such a prosperous country.

When he thought that he would be able to live in such a place in the future, even a person like Weeble could not help but get excited.

"Haha, what a great place! What a great place!"

"No wonder Wang Zhi fell in love with this place, no wonder!"

"Weeble! Go up and wipe out all the resistance forces on the island. From now on, this is our territory!!"

"New Navy, hahaha, without Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, the New Navy will soon be destroyed!"

Above Weeble's head, Bakin patted her son's shoulder with excitement, her eyes full of expectation and enthusiasm. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of Bakin's mouth.

The bandages on the two had been removed, and the burns that almost took the lives of the mother and son had now turned into red scars.

Some had healed, leaving only pink scars, while some had not yet healed and were still dark brown blood scabs.

Although covered by clothes, the mother and son looked like evil spirits from hell, ugly and terrifying.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Beside Weeble's hand, there were rows of black shells. When there was a merchant ship blocking the way in front of the pirate ship, Weeble would pick up a shell and throw it directly at the merchant ship blocking the way.

The shells pierced the sky, whistling, and then fell on the merchant ship and exploded.

For a moment, seven or eight merchant ships docked on the coast were engulfed in flames, and the flames were imprinted on Cyrus' face.

"These guys!"

Cyrus' original intention was to wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action. He was in awe of the sea and did not attack rashly.

But at this time, seeing the other party wantonly destroying merchant ships, the passionate Cyrus could not bear it and could not bear it anymore.

Even after so many years, his personality has not changed much.

After a low curse, Cyrus held the sword with both hands, jumped directly, and rushed towards the pirate ship less than 200 meters away from the port with moon steps.

"Mom, what is that?"

Both Weeble and Bakin on the pirate ship noticed the figure rushing towards their ship. Weeble pointed and asked with some confusion.

"Stupid son, it's a human!"

"It's an enemy!"

Bakin tapped his son's head gently, pointed at Cyrus in the air, and directly urged:

"Son, kill him!"

"No matter who it is, no one can resist you!"

"You are Whitebeard's son, and you are going to be the Pirate King. Anyone who resists you must be killed."

Bakin always reminds his son of the principles of "being a man". When Weibull heard it, he was directly stimulated by words like "Whitebeard's son" and "Pirate King".

Grinning, Weibull grabbed the knife with both hands and swung it directly at the black shadow in the air. A slash was shot directly at Cyrus. The terrifying power even made the ship under his feet vibrate. Layers of waves quickly rolled around from the pirate ship to the surroundings.

"Buzz——"

The low buzzing sound alerted Cyrus the moment it sounded.

Cyrus, who was stepping on the moon step, suddenly had his hair stand on end. Without thinking, he retracted his strength and fell directly from the air. The next second after he left the spot, a knife slashed through the air, almost sticking to Cyrus' scalp, and shot towards the sky.

The slash fell into the clouds, and as the white clouds rolled, a long cloud mark appeared on the clouds, which looked like a crack in the sky.

"Great swordsman?!"

Cyrus narrowly avoided the fatal blow, slightly turned his head and quickly glanced at the sky behind him, and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone who can be called a great swordsman is a real strong man.

Cyrus himself also uses a sword, but he never calls himself a great swordsman. He thinks that his strength is not enough to be called a great swordsman.

But Cyrus can give such a title to the attacker without thinking, which shows that the opponent's strength is so strong that even a knowledgeable person like Cyrus is afraid.

Cyrus, who was falling rapidly, raised his foot and stomped heavily in the air, and continued to rush towards the pirate ship, but his face no longer had the calm expression just now.

This was one of the most powerful enemies he had faced. Cyrus knew that if he was not careful enough, he might not be able to go back to accompany his daughter today.
