The Unluckiest Guy I Picked Up and Ate the Forest-Forest Fruit Chapter 174 174

Seeing the ergency assembly signal, all the Roger Pirates crew imdiately stopped what they were doing.

They all sped up and rushed toward the location where the signal flare had been launched.

On the Oro Jackson, Shiki sat at the bow, quietly waiting for Roger's arrival.

When he saw the signal flare rise from not far away, a mocking smile imdiately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Jie hahahahaha!" "Let help you all get reacquainted with the New World!"

On the deck, Spence and Bulma were currently being surrounded and beaten relentlessly by a group of pirates.

Both of them were covered in blood, looking extrely miserable.

Seeing the two in such a pitiful state, the Lionheart Pirates crew all showed ferocious grins.

One pirate grabbed Spence's disheveled long hair and spat a thick glob of phlegm on his scarred face.

"Peh!" "What Roger Pirates — our Lionheart Pirates are the strongest."

Sitting at the bow, Shiki didn't even glance at his crew's actions. Instead, he looked at the Oro Jackson with great interest.

He really liked this ship made entirely from Adam Wood.

He thought to himself: once he subdued Roger, he would make this pirate ship his flagship.

At the port of Green Island.

At this mont, the Roger Pirates crew had already assembled. Led by Roger, they were marching aggressively toward the Oro Jackson.

From far away, they could see the Oro Jackson already surrounded by hundreds of vicious-looking pirates.

Feeling the murderous aura radiating from these pirates, even Roger felt considerable pressure.

He had a premonition that this would be the toughest battle they had faced since entering the New World.

Rayleigh, walking beside Roger, also felt imnse pressure. He unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to attack these pirates at any mont.

Seeing Roger approaching with his crew, Shiki imdiately stood up from the bow and let out a loud laugh.

"Jie hahahahaha!" "You must be Roger!" "You're the one who killed my dear subordinate?"

Seeing a tall man draped in a wide swordsman coat glaring angrily at them, Rayleigh instantly recognized the other party's identity. A fine cold sweat imdiately broke out on his forehead.

"You're the captain of the Rocks Pirates' fifth division!" "Golden Lion Shiki!"

Seeing Rayleigh recognize him, Shiki imdiately sized up this young man with a sword at his waist.

"Strength is so-so!" "How about working under ?"

After learning Shiki's identity, Roger showed no panic at all. He looked seriously at Shiki and said:

"Where are my comrades!"

Hearing Roger's words, the Lionheart Pirates crew imdiately provoked him by hanging two figures — alive or dead — from the flagpole.

Seeing this scene, Roger imdiately felt overwhelming anger, his eyes instantly turning razor-sharp.

Seeing Roger glare at him fiercely, Shiki didn't take him seriously and looked at him playfully:

"Now I'll give you two choices." "First: join the Lionheart Pirates. If you do, I can let bygones be bygones." "Second: refuse my recruitnt. In that case, I'm afraid your journey ends here."

Hearing Shiki's words, Roger imdiately pulled his hat brim down, his face completely hidden in the shadow of the straw hat.

While Shiki watched Roger curiously, wondering what he would do, Roger suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!" "I am the freest man on the sea — how could I possibly be bound by you!"

Hearing Roger's loud laughter, happy smiles appeared on the faces of Rayleigh, Jabba, and the others.

They all firmly drew their weapons at their waists, ready to fight the Lionheart Pirates to the death.

"What did you say?"

"I said I refuse!"

Seeing Roger publicly reject his recruitnt, Shiki imdiately felt humiliated.

His face instantly darkened, and an incomparably terrifying golden Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, rcilessly crushing toward the Roger Pirates crew.

Feeling the imnse pressure radiating from Shiki, the Roger Pirates crew imdiately felt their breathing almost stop.

So weaker crew mbers were even directly knocked unconscious by the impact.

Seeing this scene, Roger imdiately stopped holding back. With one step forward, a dark-red wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body and clashed with Shiki's Haki.

As their gazes toward each other grew increasingly sharp, a storm of will instantly exploded in front of them.

Seeing that Roger had also awakened Conqueror's Haki, Shiki finally put away his underestimation and said sowhat regretfully:

"I regret to tell you, this will be the worst decision you ever make in your life."

As his words fell, Shiki instantly drew the two long swords from their sheaths.

Under everyone's gaze, a great swordsman-level golden slash tore through the ground and headed straight toward Roger.

Feeling the imnse energy contained in the golden slash, Roger's eyes instantly beca extrely serious.

He imdiately drew the long sword at his waist without reservation and swung it forward, clashing with Shiki's flying slash.

As the two attacks collided, a golden pillar of light instantly erupted in front of Roger, shattering the surrounding ground and buildings.

Seeing that Roger only suffered minor injuries, Shiki imdiately narrowed his eyes, locking his sharp gaze tightly on him.

"Looks like I underestimated you a bit!" "But the outco will still not change!"

"Blocked it?" "Roger actually blocked Boss Shiki's attack!"

Seeing this scene, the Lionheart Pirates crew all opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief at Roger's not particularly tall figure.

Seeing Roger block Shiki's attack, Rayleigh and Jabba finally let out long sighs of relief, and joyful looks couldn't help but appear on their faces.

"Shiki, my steps will not stop!"

Hearing Roger's shout, a hint of appreciation appeared in Shiki's eyes as he looked at Roger.

He now wanted to recruit the other party even more.

"Jie hahahahaha!" "Roger, I'm becoming more and more interested in you!" "Since I can't recruit you by normal ans, I'll have to beat you down first and then use special thods to make you submit."

As soon as Shiki's words fell, his figure instantly appeared in front of Roger.

As the muscles on his arm bulged, a powerful force erupted from his body.

Seeing a sharp sword light slashing toward him, Roger raised his long sword and clashed head-on with Shiki.

However, he still sowhat underestimated Shiki's strength.

After obtaining a powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Shiki's physique had completely transford.

His physical condition was now countless tis stronger than before.

Combined with his great swordsman realm, his current strength was extrely terrifying.

Even against Newgate, he had a very good chance of winning.
