I Promised to Win with Roger… But I Was Just a Kid

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Let's Go, Oro Jackson



The sea was shaking.

Rhett is at the bow of the boat he bought. He borrowed money to buy it because he thought that after this test, the boat would most likely not survive.

He held the hilt of Kuroshio with both hands. The great sword dragged diagonally on the deck.

"Kid, there's still time to turn back." Rayleigh asked calmly.

Rayleigh Roger Gaban stood in another boat behind him, supporting Rhett.

Rhett didn't answer. His knuckles were trembling slightly with excitement.

The waves suddenly exploded.

The dog-headed sea king jumped out of the water, and the sea water poured onto the deck like a rainstorm.

Rhett moved.

He moved slowly—or so it seemed.

No fancy jump, no dazzling Haki, just simply pulling Kuroshio off the deck,

The sea king opened its huge mouth, and a shadow covered the entire bow.

It wanted to swallow Rhett alive with its huge size.

Rhett swung Kuroshio violently, and the huge sword smashed into the jaw of the sea king with a dull sound of breaking through the air. "Bang!"

With a dull sound, the monster's head was knocked to one side, and several broken fangs flew out.

Rhett feels really good. Who dares to call Rhett a loser now?

But this is just the beginning.

The sea king felt pain, and its huge tail raised a huge wave to hit Rhett's small sailboat. If you destroy my boat, then you will die. At the moment when the huge wave was about to hit, he held the sword with both hands and swung it upward with great force. Kuroshio's sword split the incoming wave in two.

Before the seawater had completely fallen, Rhett had already leaped up with the momentum.

Kuroshio drew a heavy arc in his hand and hit the sea king's left eye hard. With a "puff",

The dog-headed sea king let out a deafening roar and twisted its body wildly.

Rhett was thrown out, but he adjusted himself in midair, and Kuroshio struck the scales on the monster's back, sparks flying and denting the hard scales.

"Come again!" Rhett spit out the blood foam in his mouth and rushed towards the sea king again. This time he changed his strategy and no longer pursued a one-hit kill, but used Kuroshio to deliver continuous heavy blows.

'Chop left! Chop right! Chop right! Chop right!'

Each strike was plain and simple, yet it carried amazing destructive power. Kuroshio's sword blade turned slightly red due to the high-speed friction, and the sea king's scales began to crack under the continuous blows.

Finally, after the seventeenth heavy blow, the sea king's movements slowed down significantly.

Rhett seized the opportunity, used all his strength to lift Kuroshio high up, and then chopped him down with the force of a mountain splitter.

"Boom!"

This blow directly split the skull of the sea king. The huge body of the sea king froze for a moment, then slowly sank into the sea, stirring up huge waves.

Rhett hoisted Kuroshio onto his shoulders and jumped into Rayleigh's boat, which visibly deepened in the water.

At any time, at any place, the ship repairer will appear in time.

"Sea of ​​Fog, Floating Platform!"

After using his ability, Rhett also breathed a sigh of relief.

His arms were shaking uncontrollably, his palms were bloody, and the muscles all over his body were protesting against excessive use.

Rayleigh walked over, looked at the sinking sea king corpse, and then looked at Rhett's hand.

"How was it?" Rayleigh inquired.

"It feels great." Rhett's eyes were full of excitement.

Half a year has passed in a flash.

Rhett's special training during this period has made him grow a lot. Not only has he made significant progress in the use of Taijutsu and Haki,

Speed, strength, three Haki, and the Marine six styles that have learned Iron Block, Shave, and Moon Steps, are basically the strength of an elite navy colonel. It's ridiculous to think that a 7-year-old can be a commander.

The morning dew had not yet dissipated, and the sound of clanging and hammering could be heard from the dock of Tom's shipyard. When Rhett and his men dragged the Kuroshio sword into the dock, Tom was holding a cigar and personally performing the final adjustments.

"Little devil, you came just in time!" Tom was very excited, "Come and see your new home!"

Rhett looked up and his breath hitched.

The Oro Jackson was quietly moored on the slipway, the morning light gilding it. It was more majestic than I remembered, and the smooth lines of the ship seemed to be able to split any wind and waves.

Going to the bottom of the cabin

"The texture of the Adam tree is indeed extraordinary." Rayleigh stood behind Rhett without him noticing, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with satisfaction.

Roger took a step forward: "Kuhahaha! This is worthy of the pirate ship of our Roger Pirates!"

Tom was listening to everyone's praises, and suddenly he shouted, "Roger the bastard - don't touch it! The paint on the railing is not dry yet!"

Roger jumped down angrily "Sorry, uncle, hahahaha."

But Uncle Tom was not willing to let him go. He scolded Roger and made him draw circles in the corner of the boat. Tom felt relieved.

"Hey, kid." Tom suddenly pressed Rhett's shoulder, "Would you like to test the hardness of your Kuroshio and the new ship?"

Before Rhett could react, Tom grabbed him and lifted him up. Rhett was put down just after he left the ground.

Uncle Tom coughed and said, "Try to strike with all your strength!"

'You are not Uncle Tom, you are a warrior, right?' Rhett, with the weight of the sword, it is really difficult to throw it to him.

Rhett was a little worried. Seeing Merry leave really made him cry. "Didn't uncle say that the hull is the most important position on the ship?"

Tom looked at Rhett with disdain "Are you looking down on the fact that the precious Adam tree is known as the strongest wood, or are you overestimating your strength? When the sea is in disaster, tsunami, Sea king, which one will be weaker than yours."

Rhett thought about it and thought, if he could easily cut down the precious tree Adam with one knife, he would have dominated the sea long ago.

Rhett leaped into the air and drew out Kuroshio. The greatsword drew a heavy arc in the air -

"clang!!!"

Although it looks like it's made of wood, it can make a deafening metallic collision sound.

Kuroshio was bounced away, and it was impossible to tell where the blow had been struck on the bow.

"How is it? After my special treatment and the hardness of the wood itself," Tom stroked his beard proudly, "My craftsmanship is not..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Because Rhett was stroking the hull, and suddenly found a line of small words engraved on top of it

(Dubbing) Rhett reads word by word "To the future Pirate King and his crew - Tom"

"Hey! Who told you to read it out!" Tom's face turned red and he chased Rhett.

Roger stood at the bow and laughed, his red cape fluttering in the sea breeze: "Let's set sail, guys! Let the world hear our voice!"

Under the gaze of the residents of the Seven Waters, the Oro Jackson slowly sailed out of the dock. The sunlight penetrated the morning mist, gilding the dark hull with a flowing golden edge.

Rhett was at the stern, looking at the island getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly remembered himself dragging Kuroshio along the beach half a year ago.

"What are you thinking about?" Gaban patted his shoulder.

Rhett smiled and carried Kuroshio on his shoulders, "I was wondering if I could split the waves with my sword the next time I encounter a sea king."

Rayleigh appeared behind him at some point "Pay off the money you owe for the boat first."

"Eh?! That ship was clearly shattered by a sea king, go find him..."

"Shut up, kid. Practice swinging your sword three thousand more times."

"yes..."
