One Piece Codex

"Escort these people to the prison first," Stewart casually ordered to the soldiers. After speaking, he turned to the baron and viscount who had resisted Girod before and said: "Go and deal with the family properties of these prisoners. The private treasury must be confiscated. ."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

The two of them looked excited. Although the wealth of the nobles was mainly stored in private treasury, the various valuable properties were enough to make the family grow several times.

The former Count Hubert, who bought and sold weapons and made war fortune, was also among those being escorted.Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but his fat and round body was not as fast as a child. Hubert, who had only taken two steps, was knocked unconscious by the soldier's rifle and dragged down.

About half a minute later, a masked figure appeared at the door. He was not tall, only about 1.4 meters or five.

Smart people never look down on others because of their appearance. Obviously, there are no fools except piles of corpses.Stewart and others couldn't help but look serious, especially Ford. He didn't know how Lorna could deal with people of this level in just a few days.

Stewart raised the giant sword to his chest, "Who are you? Why did you instruct Lorna to kill Girod?"

"That's not the instigation! That beast deserves to die!" Lorna scolded angrily.

At this time, Lorna had been let go by Stewart. To prevent her from escaping, Stewart asked the soldiers to press Lorna down on the chair.

Seeing this, Ford, who was also staring at Levi warily, frowned and said nothing.

"You don't need to know who I am," Levi put his hands into his coat seemingly casually, and Colt gradually took shape in his hands. "As for killing Girod, he wants to kill me, can't I kill him?"

If Girod wants to kill Mads, he is destined to have a life-and-death feud with Levi, so it is not wrong to say that Girod wants to kill Levi.

"Besides, you probably don't know what Girod has done. As a king, he allowed his son to act recklessly while turning a blind eye.

Are you worthy of being the king of a country? "

Levi sneered, completely ignoring Lorna's crazy eyes at the side.

"Boy, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly!"

The bald man Williams hummed. As he spoke, he drew out his machete and was about to kill Levi, but was stopped by Stewart.

"Hahahahaha! ...Ahem, you are right. If you leave the moths alone and let the soldiers sacrifice one by one, I am indeed not a competent king! Hahahaha!"

Stewart threw his head back and laughed.

"But--"

Suddenly, the old man's tone changed and he clenched his teeth.

"The great Andre family has no chance of being taught a lesson by an outsider!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Stewart held the giant sword across his chest and rushed towards Levi.

"The secret skill of the knight's sword, kill him from the horse!"

A heavy sword has no edge. It doesn't matter whether the sword is sharp or not. What matters is a person's integration into the practice of techniques.

Stewart's sword seems to be slow and dull, but in fact it is not only extremely fast, but also carries strong wind pressure. If it is hit from the front, an ordinary person will definitely be cut in half with one blow.

[Tsk, this old man actually hid his strength before! 】

Levi dodged sideways, secretly surprised.Stewart's current attack is more than twice as powerful and faster than what was previously observed in the sniper scope!

But even so, the opponent's strength is still far behind Mads.At least Mads's attack was easy and he couldn't dodge it now.As for dodging Stewart's attacks, not only was he able to do so with ease, but he was still able to do so without panic.

[Huh, luckily I have turned on the Haki of Knowledge and Information. 】

From the moment he stayed at the bell tower to the time he started using it, Levi felt that this active skill was almost becoming a passive skill for him.

"Good reaction!"

A flash of surprise flashed in Stewart's eyes. He didn't hold back on this move. He dodged it so easily, but it wasn't over yet.

"Haha! Knight's sword skill, reverse break!"

The giant sword that had not yet hit the ground stopped abruptly in mid-air, then turned at a slight angle and struck straight towards Levi. Its speed and power were not reduced at all compared to the beginning.

【Um? ! 】

Levi's heart trembled, and he jumped to dodge when the giant sword was about to attack, but this time the dodge was obviously much more hurried.Before the giant sword offensive was over, he "took out" a pistol from his clothes, pointed it at Stewart's wrist and pulled the trigger twice.

"Whoa!"

Pooh! ...

The bullet went straight through the body and into the floor.

Stewart grunted in pain, and the hand holding the sword shook.

The sword is still in his hand, but the swing of the sword has stopped.This had to surprise Levi. You must know that bullets fired into objects at close range will produce a cavity effect, causing the created path to be several times larger than the diameter of the projectile.Although Stewart's wrist is as thick as his body, the cavity created by the reinforced Colt bullet is much larger than that of an ordinary bullet, and the opponent just shook his hand?This shows how strong his physical fitness is.

"Your Majesty! (Your Majesty the King!)"

Williams and Nutt shouted in worry and rushed forward to support Stewart, while Ford whipped Levi away with a whip leg and instantly opened up the distance on the battlefield.

"Cough cough... cough!" Stewart coughed up a mouthful of blood and got rid of the two people's support. "This matter is a personal grudge, so you don't need to get involved."

"His Majesty!"

The two of them wanted to say something more, but were interrupted by Stewart waving his hand.

"You are soldiers of [Luruta] and you should not interfere in this kind of thing. Ahem, and this kid..."

Having said this, an unpredictable smile appeared on the old man's face again, and he said no more.

Levi patted the dust on his hands. Ford's kick just now caused some pain in his forearm.

[Hmm... It seems that the other side is not that easy either. 】

"Old man, let's stop here. If you want to die, just come back."

He had no reason to kill Stewart, and the relationship between him and Mads didn't seem simple.The reason why Levi appeared here was just to save Lorna.But now he dared to conclude that Stewart had no intention of killing Lorna, otherwise the other party would have threatened him with Lorna.

"Ahem...ahem!"

Stewart coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, and an abnormal flush suddenly appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha! Can't you even fulfill the obligations of a father before you die? Girod..."

He could clearly feel that his life was passing quickly, and his body could not withstand the aging caused by time. Levi's two shots and the white hemp he had eaten before all accelerated the pace of his life's end.

His old, weak and sick body has already determined that he can no longer take action.

Seeing the old man's lonely expression, Li Wei was silent for a while, and then asked:

"Why send someone to monitor Rona?"

The person he was referring to as a spy was naturally Mountbatten Ford, a disappeared deacon of the kingdom. Since he would stay in the slums for three years, and it seemed that the king was very familiar with Lorna's situation, the only informer was Probably Ford.

"Spying on Lorna? Ahem...just observing."

Stewart changed his sword to another hand and leaned on the hilt.

"Do you know this child's full name?"

【full name? 】Everyone except Ford looked confused.Stewart waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to let go of Lorna.

"André Lorna, child, remember your real name!"
