Pirates: The system can also be the protagonist!

"Emperor! Are you finally not hiding anymore?"

Smoker had seen Emperor's wanted posters many times, and there was no mistaking this face.

The Emperor pushed forward with one finger, and Smoker's ten hands pushed back, actually repelling Smoker's body as well.

"I heard you're a hero in Rogue Town. If you lose to a pirate like me, will the citizens still regard you as a hero?"

"White snake!"

Smoker didn't want to waste time talking to the Emperor, so he took action without saying a word. With the spread of smoke, two smoke arms turned into long snakes and attacked the Emperor.

The Emperor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up Alrita and jumped back to avoid it. After all, it was the smoker who created the smoke, and there might be carcinogens in it.

But the attack of the white snake is not so easy to dodge. Even if the attack misses, the white snake will continue to extend and continue to track the target.

As soon as the Emperor landed, the two white snakes approached the Emperor and Alrita.

"Huh...Alrita, watch out, you need domineering power to deal with the natural type."

The Emperor's hands were covered with armament color domineering, a dark color visible to the naked eye. With a light shout from the Emperor, he swung out with two fists, instantly blasting Smoker's white snake apart.

This was just a demonstration given by the Emperor to Alrita. If the Emperor wanted to attack the natural type, he actually didn't need to use the Armament Haki at all.

He can even shatter the void, let alone the mere force of nature!

"The smoke was hit!" Alrita covered her mouth, feeling very surprised. It turned out that the natural system could also be hit.

It’s just…she didn’t understand a single thing about what the Emperor meant by “domineering”.

Not only Alrita was surprised, Smoker was also shocked: "He can actually attack the smoke? This emperor is not simple!"

Judging from the fact that the Emperor just touched his ten hands, it can be judged that the Emperor is not a devil fruit user, because there is seastone on the top of the ten hands, which cannot be touched by users with the ability.

Although Emperor Zun is not a person with special abilities, he actually possesses such power. He is undoubtedly a dominant pirate in the East China Sea.

No wonder they were able to destroy an entire naval branch. But now Smoker is even more certain in his heart that he must not let the Emperor go to the Grand Line, and he must eliminate this threat from the Emperor in Rogue Town.

"Bai Man!"

Smoker's arm once again turned into smoke and attacked Emperor and the other two, but this time it was not in the shape of a snake, but in a spiral to accelerate the attack.

However, the Emperor simply lowered his eyes, and a powerful telekinesis swept across the entire Rogue Town.

The smoke that Smoker transformed into was frozen in place on the spot. Even if Smoker wanted to retract the smoke, he couldn't do it. He could only stay in the air and couldn't move.

"Damn it! What happened! This guy is obviously not a superpower user, what kind of power does this guy have?"

Smoker's movements were restricted and he was secretly frightened. If it were in the past, no one could hit the smoke and he wouldn't be too worried, but it was different now.

The Emperor can hit the smoke, but if you just stay in the air like this, won’t you become a living target for the Emperor? Is he going to die without even touching the opponent?

The bored Emperor hugged Alrita and couldn't help yawning: "Colonel Smoker, you have stayed in the East China Sea for too long. You don't know how big the world outside is. The sea is so vast, and you shouldn't stop others from taking risks."

To use an idiom to describe the current Smoker, that is a frog in the well. Although he is a navy captain, he doesn't even know Haki and relies too much on the power of the devil fruit.

When encountering a truly strong opponent, Smoker is just a vanity, just like now.

"The existence of pirates only harms civilians. You call burning, killing and looting an adventure? Don't be so hypocritical! Emperor!"

"No, I just regard sailing as an adventure trip. I want to enjoy a free life and should not be restricted by others. In fact, you are right. This is lawlessness."

The Emperor shook his head and flicked his right finger. Smoker, who was controlled by telekinesis, flew backwards suddenly and directly smashed a house.

"Like this, I can destroy it at will, but I can also repair it and pay compensation. But how I do it is up to me. This is human freedom."

Smoker took off his cigar, spat out a mouthful of blood, turned it into smoke and flew up again, glaring at the Emperor and the other man: "For your own freedom, you destroy the safety of the citizens. This is evil, and that's why there is a navy on the sea!"

Civilians are innocent, and Smoker will never allow anyone to harm civilians for their own pleasure. The current Emperor has undoubtedly touched the bottom line.

"White blast!"

The next moment, Smoker's entire body turned into smoke, covering the sky in just a few seconds and began to shrink towards Emperor and Alrita.

The Emperor didn't feel anything, but Alrita clearly felt difficulty breathing and the air around her decreased a lot.

If this continues for a long time, you will suffocate to death.

"I will never let you escape!"

Smoker's face appeared in the air, biting his cigar tightly, with an extremely ferocious expression. There was no doubt that his anger had reached its peak.

"Cough cough... Your Majesty..." Alrita felt unwell and started coughing.

Emperor Zun held Alrita in his arms and patted her back gently. "It's okay. It's just smoke."

As he spoke, several streaks of light flashed across the Emperor's palm and cut in all directions.

In just a moment, several cracks appeared in the space surrounded by smoke. The cigar in Smoker's mouth fell, and the smoke quickly shrank. Finally, Smoker stopped his elemental transformation and fell to the ground.

Lying on the street, Smoker had several cuts and slashes on his body, and the one on his chest was so severe that his ribs could be seen directly.

Emperor Zun stood on the roof, looking down at Smoker from above: "It is indeed as you said, that kind of behavior is evil, but that is just what you think. Only I can define others, no one can define me, because I am strong, and the strong are the rules."

"The weak are not qualified to define the strong. In other words, all the rules of this world cannot be applied to me. Do you understand?"

Listening to the Emperor's arrogant remarks, Smoker was so angry that he vomited blood. If everyone was like this, the world would be in chaos.

"Ahem... The weak also have the right to live... You are too arrogant! Sooner or later you will die at the hands of someone stronger than you!" Knowing that he was unable to fight anymore, Smoker could only use his mouth to fight.

But to the Emperor, these words were extremely funny. The system and the Heavenly Dao that created the system were all swallowed up by him. Who could be stronger than him?

"Boring debate. Let me give you a ride. Be a good person and sacrifice yourself as a hero." The Emperor stretched out two fingers, and a piece of gravel floated in the air.

As the Emperor gently popped out, the gravel shot towards Smoker at high speed like bullets.

"Colonel Smoker!"

However, an accident suddenly happened. A civilian who crawled out of the ruins suddenly ran over and lay on Smoker, trying to protect Smoker with his body.

Seeing this, the Emperor waved his hand to crush the stone. At this moment, he seemed to see a special emotion.

It is very strange that two unrelated people are willing to give up their lives to protect each other. It is completely different from Bell-mère's protection of Namino Kiko.
