Chapter 166: Ten Years of Hard Work, One Day the Sword Is Sharp

As the battle progressed, more and more pirates were eliminated.

In the end, only three people were left standing on the field.

They were the Demon Lizard, Red Hair, and Riddle Bozo, the captain of the White Bear Pirates.

The three stood opposite each other, alert to each other.

Although Red Hair and Riddle Bozo are still a team, in fact, with the changes in the battlefield situation, they have vaguely changed from allies to opponents.

Because this battle is not only a gamble for the Demon Lizard to become the emperor of the sea, but also for others.

The only key to reigning in the New World is to have strong strength and reach the top of the sea.

However, I don’t know how many people have been stuck at this level, and how many people want to enter but cannot enter for the rest of their lives.

Now on the sea, whether it is the Pirate Alliance or the big pirates on the list, they are struggling to find a chance to break through. Once successful, the situation will become clear in an instant, instead of being caught in a melee like now.

The best way to break through strength is actual combat.

And to reach such a transcendent level, naturally, the best way is to fight with people of the same level.

This is why so many pirates like to challenge those with higher bounties than themselves.

Not only because of fame and wealth, but more importantly, it can quickly improve their own strength.

Even if they fail, as long as their beliefs are not defeated and they regroup, it is also a huge improvement in their own strength.

Only such pirates can move forward step by step, become stronger, and finally climb to the top.

It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

If there is a shortcut to success, it is this way.

However, doing this will be accompanied by death.

After all, challenging a stronger person than yourself is itself a suicide act.

But this is also the only way to become a strong person.

Red Hair understands, Riddle Pozo also understands, and the pirates who provoke everywhere on the sea also understand.

And now, for Red Hair and Riddle Pozo, fighting the demon lizard is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity, an opportunity to break free from the shackles.

Because the existence of the demon lizard is so rare.

You want to find someone to fight, break through your own strength, and reach the last step, but the opponent will not give you a hand, especially people like Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom. Will they be willing to give you a sparring and help you take the last step?

No, on the contrary, they will strangle it mercilessly.

After all, the sea is vast, but also limited. No one wants to suddenly have an existence of the same level. This will undoubtedly harm their own interests, and even threaten themselves, or even the entire pirate group.

Therefore, for the existence that is only a step away from the final blow, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom and others will ruthlessly take action to eliminate these potential threats.

Once the battle begins, life and death must be determined.

This is also the reason why many big pirates on the sea suddenly disappeared.

The reason why Crocodile and Moria can survive after challenging Whitebeard and Kaido is that they think they are not a threat.

In short, they think they are too weak, and fighting them is just for fun. There is no need to take them seriously. If they are let go, they will not pose any threat in the future.

This sounds very ironic. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, one day they will be able to survive because of their weakness.

This is exactly the case.

But if someone else challenges a pirate like Red Hair who is only one step away, the result will be completely different.

Even though the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates had a good relationship before, and Red Hair was a junior whom Whitebeard admired very much, Whitebeard would never help Red Hair take the last step.

It is true that they have a good relationship, but Red Hair is not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates after all, so Whitebeard naturally cannot help such a favor for no reason.

At most, he can give some pointers and impart some experience, which is already considered to be the most righteous.

But for Red Hair, Whitebeard's experience is not of much use.

Just look at Red Hair's growth experience. He has been on Roger's ship for so long and has seen so many legendary figures. Is there any skill that he doesn't know?

The only thing Red Hair lacks is the actual combat between life and death, which can stimulate his potential, break through that shackles, and completely step into that level.

But Whitebeard will not help with this, and as for Kaido and Big Mom, it is even more impossible.

And now, the demon lizard in front of him is Red Hair's best whetstone.

Seize it, and the opportunity to soar into the sky is right in front of you.

Not only Red Hair thinks so, but Riddle Bozo also means this.

After fighting for so long, Riddle Bozo is still standing on the field, which is the best proof of his strength.

His own strength is only one step away from the last level, and the breakthrough is just one opportunity away.

Although not as good as Red Hair, after all, Red Hair's life experience is there, and the foundation he has laid is naturally very solid. But the fact that Riddle Pozzo has been able to get to this point today naturally proves that he is qualified to compete.

Unlike Red Hair's experience, Riddle Bozo fought his way through step by step.

Moreover, Riddle Bozo did not surrender to the Magic Lizard Pirates, or rather, Magic Lizard was not sure of defeating Riddle Bozo.

The White Bear Pirates led by Riddle Bozo were willing to follow Magic Lizard because Riddle Bozo's relatives fell into Magic Lizard's hands.

The two of them were of the same level, and at most they were cooperative.

Magic Lizard could not really command Riddle Bozo, and both parties were just trying to achieve their own goals.

Although Riddle Bozo did not have the exaggerated physical talent like Kaido and Big Mom, and was not able to be trained since childhood like Red Hair, Riddle Bozo relied on his own efforts to improve his strength step by step, trying not to attract everyone's attention, and came to where he is today.

Riddle Bozo, 38 years old this year, has such strength, but only has a bounty of 780 million Baileys. It can be said that Riddle Bozo is the one who is seriously underestimated by the outside world.

And today, this opportunity has come. It has been hidden for a long time. It is time to unsheathe!

It can be said that if Red Hair is likened to a peerless genius cultivated by a large sect, then Riddle Bozo is a poor demon who has stepped out step by step from the common people.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, one day it shows its edge!
