The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

Count Red was slightly taken aback and was about to leave the spot.

But behind him, the ground formed from paper suddenly rose up, and countless sheets of paper gathered into a pair of giant hands, which slammed down directly towards Count Red.

"Shh!"

The Red Earl, wielding his bat-shaped umbrella, unleashed a slash that severed the large hand formed from the paper above his head.

"fire punch!"

Just as Count Red was about to catch his breath, a huge ball of surging purple flames suddenly rushed towards him.

The purple flames were extremely hot; even from a distance, the Red Earl felt as if he were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire.

The Red Earl soared into the air, dodging the purple flames, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"What fierce flames!" Count Red opened his umbrella and floated in mid-air, while the ground was still burning with scorching flames.

The surrounding houses and buildings were all engulfed in purple flames, burning fiercely.

"Is this the power of God? Even the Red Earl is completely powerless against it."

A pirate watching the battle from a distance broke out in a cold sweat and commented.

"Damn it, I'm not even as good as a Celestial Dragon. The Celestial Dragons in this era are too strong."

"Seeing is believing. Although I've heard that he defeated Rocks, seeing him fight in person still leaves me in awe," a pirate exclaimed.

"The other Celestial Dragons are all just loafing around and waiting to die, but Bernard Is is different. He is the only man in this world who can truly be called a Celestial Dragon."

Even though they were some distance apart, they still felt very hot; the surrounding temperature had risen considerably, and they were now shirtless.

“If this is all the strength you have, Count Red, you will have to pay the price today,” Is said calmly, standing still.

This was the first time he had met the Red Earl in this world, and Is had no interest in him whatsoever.

But the other party insisted on the challenge, which was indeed a bit ungrateful.

"How could I dare to challenge a god if I didn't have some strength?"

The red count's umbrella exuded an aura of dominance. He then swung it suddenly, creating a gust of wind that instantly extinguished the flames on the ground. He landed slowly on the ground, his expression calm and composed.

“Is that so?” Is sneered.

"boom!"

The next moment, a purple flame suddenly rose from the ground beneath the Red Earl's feet, like a pillar of fire, and the flame instantly engulfed him.

"Damn it, when is this going to happen?"

The Red Earl was completely unaware of the pillar of fire, which appeared almost out of thin air, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

The moment the flames engulfed him, he was covered in Armament Haki, but it was a little too late.

His body was already scorched by purple flames.

He waved his umbrella, creating a gust of wind that extinguished the flames on his body.

However, he was covered in charred soot, and his once white hair had turned black and was much shorter, making him look quite disheveled.

"boom!"

Another pillar of fire suddenly appeared at the Red Earl's feet, but he dodged it.

After being attacked, the Red Earl turned his attention to his feet and could vaguely sense the abnormality of heat energy being transferred to the ground.

Is, wielding a long sword, suddenly charged forward, his hands gripping the sword, which was covered in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and slashed heavily down at Red Earl.

"boom!"

Count Red hurriedly waved his bat umbrella in defense. His longsword collided with the bat umbrella, and a terrifying gust of air instantly shook the surrounding area, forming visible ripples that destroyed the surrounding buildings.

"Kakakaka!!!"

The Red Earl held an umbrella in both hands, and countless cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet, like shattered glass, while his legs below the knees were sunken into a pit.

"boom!"

The Red Earl used all his strength to push Is away.

While flying backward, Is used his Paper-Paper Fruit ability.

Countless swords, wreathed in red flames, flew out.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

The flaming paper sword exploded like a cannonball when it struck the Red Earl's bat umbrella, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Is landed smoothly, with wisps of smoke rising before him.

"Did Iss win?" Rem asked immediately upon seeing this.

She guessed that Is was strong, but she didn't expect Is to be this strong. The Red Earl was no match for him at all, and the battle between the two was completely one-sided.

"Not yet, that man hasn't fallen yet, but it'll be soon, after all, he's no match for Is."

Tornado gazed at the figure in the smoke and slowly shook her head, then fixed her gaze on Is, a smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

Chapter 143

A battle is taking place in Area 42 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The navy of Sabaody Archipelago also received the news.

After all, the one fighting was the Celestial Dragon Bernard Is, so they had to treat him with caution.

The Navy reported the battle intelligence to the Vice Admiral stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The lieutenant general dared not make a decision on his own and reported the matter to the Navy Headquarters.

Air Marshal Steelbone received news that Bernard Is was fighting in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Bernard Issaint is in the Sabaody Archipelago, clashing with Earl Redfield," Steelbone Kong said, hanging up the phone and alerting Karp, who was standing not far away.

“The Red Earl of Redfield? I’ve fought him before, and that guy is no pushover,” Karp said, sipping his tea.

Red Earl was mostly in the first half of the Grand Line, and Garp often went home to visit, so he encountered Red Earl once.

After a brief conflict, the Red Earl ran away.

However, he did not underestimate the Red Earl during the battle, but the opponent was still able to fight him on equal terms.

This is enough to prove how powerful the other party is.

“Bernard Issaint has clashed with pirates in an area under our naval jurisdiction, so we have to send someone over to make a statement,” Steelbone said, munching on a snack.

Although they all acknowledged Is's strength and believed he would not lose.

But the Sabaody Archipelago is, after all, their naval territory, and if Bernard Isles were injured...

He inevitably received a scolding from the Five Elders.

“I’m telling you, you don’t need to eat snacks in front of me when I can’t eat them, Steelbone.”

When Garp saw Kong, who never liked snacks, eating them right in front of him, his face darkened and he complained.

He was previously punished by being forbidden from eating snacks for a month because of the God Valley incident, and now he can only drink tea.

But Steel Bone Kong was quite something, eating snacks right in front of him.

"The snacks taste surprisingly good," Steelbone Kong said with a smile as he put the snacks down.

"Damn it, once my punishment is over, I'm going to eat all the snacks I missed this month and make up for it," Garp thought to himself through gritted teeth.

"Alright, Garp, what we need to discuss now is the matter of Bernard Issa," Kong said solemnly.

"Let me go, Steelbone. Although Red Earl hasn't attacked our naval base, he's still a pirate. This time, let's lock him up in jail." Garp stood up, put on his Justice Cloak, and laughed.

Garp has always been very interested in powerful pirates.

Red Earl is a pirate whom Garp highly regards.

"Then go ahead," Steelbone said, taking a sip of tea and nodding slightly.

This trip was just for show; after all, although the Red Earl was powerful...

But neither of them believed he could defeat Bernard Is.

The Navy Headquarters is not far from the Sabaody Archipelago, and Garp set off quickly, believing he could arrive in a few hours.

Meanwhile, in the Sabaody Archipelago, Is was still engaged in a great battle with the Red Earl.

However, Is was in the upper hand, and the Red Earl was always suppressed by him.

"Shh!"

After fighting Is for a long time, the Red Earl finally found an opening in his opponent's defenses.

The bat-shaped umbrella, shrouded in a domineering aura, slashed towards Is, leaving a bloody gash in his abdomen.

“Even gods are not invincible; I still managed to defeat you.” A cold smile involuntarily crept onto the Red Earl’s lips.

"God is not invincible, but he is close," Is said calmly.

His abdominal wound was healing at a visible speed, emitting wisps of white steam.

"How is this possible?" Count Red's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this.

Although he knew that in this world, people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized, and there are many abnormal physical constitutions.

But the ability to recover from injuries in an instant seems a bit exaggerated.

“Surprised? There’s an insurmountable gap between our strengths. I told you, if this is all you’re capable of, you’ll pay the price, Red Earl,” Is said calmly and coldly.

His original intention today was simply to accompany Rem and the others shopping, but the Red Earl insisted on challenging him.

He needs to be taught a lesson.

“There is indeed a considerable gap between us. Whether it is domineering aura, swordsmanship, physical skills, or abilities, I cannot compare with you. You truly deserve to be the man who was able to end the reign of the sea overlord, Rocks,” Earl Red praised with a smile.

If possible, he would like to be friends with Is.

After all, it's very difficult to find someone in this world whose heart is pure and who doesn't harbor many evil thoughts.

However, their identities are worlds apart.

He was a pirate, while Is was a Celestial Dragon who was given the title of God.

Therefore, the two were destined to be unable to become friends.
