"Oh... Shiki's moves, it seems he's not just dead."

Redfield's figure flashed away as if he were strolling in a garden. When the slashes came, he turned into afterimages and dodged them one after another, causing the slashes to miss. A hundred slashes in a row, none of them hit the target.

Such a short distance...

His application of speed is completely different from Kuro's; no, in terms of dodging in a small area, he is even faster than him.

This is no longer just a matter of the intensity of Observation Haki.

Based on this speed alone...

No wonder he was comparable to Roger and Whitebeard back then.

"No wonder he was comparable to Roger and Whitebeard back then?"

This brief moment of distraction allowed Redfield to read his thoughts. He thrust his bat umbrella straight at Kuro, but Kuro blocked it with a single stroke. Redfield clenched his other hand, causing a large number of earth spikes to protrude from his body.

No, that's not it.

Bang!

Redfield flashed forward, quickly shattering the earth spikes, and disappeared to the back, saying calmly, "I am no match for them, never have been."

"But you..."

Redfield pointed his bat umbrella at Kuro and said in a loud voice, "They are far inferior! The kids these days are all so arrogant. They don't know how heroic and powerful Roger and Whitebeard were back then. The kind of heart and strength that can easily gain the trust of their comrades and believe in them without reservation is something that you kids can't understand!"

"You've met Shiki, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have used that 'Thousand Cut Valley' technique. That idiot was just arrogant about his own strength. He can't compare to Roger or Whitebeard, but even so, he's one of the few on the high seas."

"Disgusting, utterly disgusting!"

Redfield's face darkened. "This world is so ugly, no one is qualified to take the throne at the end of the sea. But in this world, the throne cannot be empty. So let me take it! I will replace Roger and Whitebeard and become the ultimate king!"

"Regain your youth, reign supreme over the seas, and become the strongest in the world!"

"Only in this way, only in this way, can you vile creatures see the situation clearly and realize that the ocean is not a game that you despicable people can casually participate in!"
