Strongest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 240

After going out for less than a week, El experienced two peak battles in this world.

Through these two battles, El not only knows his current strength but also how far he is from the ceiling of this world and what level his current swordsmanship is.

Therefore, after these two battles, El happily controls the pegasus back toward the city in the sky which was currently heading toward the first half of the grand line.

Just as he thought, after mastering the devil fruit awakening, his strength already squeezed into the top ten in the world, and with his monstrous stamina, he can rank top five in the world.

The top five powerhouses from the previous era can only fight to tie him in a battle in a short period of time and once they fight into a life and death battle, El has absolute confidence to grind them to death.

The powerhouses of this era, in addition to Kaido, the Strongest Creature in the world, Monkey D. Dragon, the mysterious leader of the revolutionary army, and the three admirals, Fujitora and Charlotte Linlin, El’s overall strength is slightly higher than theirs.

In addition, even if he does not use the power of his devil fruit ability, his swordsmanship and haki are already at the level of Pirate Emperor, together with his monstrous physique and omniscient state, El doesn’t need Devil Fruit to be also in the top ten in this world.

After he reaches the age of 18 a few years later and he has fully realized his swordsmanship talent, even without a devil fruit ability, his strength can reach the top three in the world

The reason why he modestly says only the top three in the world is that there are still unknown monsters like Im-Sama in this world.

At that time, he will successfully develop from his growth stage to the next stage, and if Doflamingo’s side goes well. El believes that when he reaches the age of eighteen, he must be the number one existence in the world.

Even if the so-called Im-Sama is a terrifying existence that surpasses the ceiling of this world, El is still confident, because if the plan is successful, he will also be an unsolvable existence beyond the ceiling of this world.

Just when El was controlling the Pegasus back to the City in the Sky, the whole world was in a huge stir because of his two battle.

The people originally thought that after the year 1515 of the Sea Circle Calendar which was El’s year, he will continue to lay low, however, they did not expect that in the latter half of the year 1516 of the Sea Circle Calendar, El will once again shock the world with the City in the sky, then a battle with the strongest man in the world, Edward Newgate.

More importantly, this battle also represents the battle between the old and new eras which ended in a draw.

A few days later, now known as Lord of the Sky, El, his two titles once again became famous all over the world, namely, ‘Young Swordsman’ and ‘Flying Swordsman’, which are also related to the number one swordsman of this era, Hawk Eyes, Dracule Mihawk. As they battle in pure swordsmanship on an uninhabited island in the new world which lasts for two days and two nights and finally ended in a draw.

Although El fought two consecutive tie battles, in the eyes of the world and even the major forces, El has completely taken the position of No. 1 in the pirate world.

After all, the two people who he is tied with are the number one in their field.

One is a pirate who’s occupying the most powerful throne for decades and with his pirate group also being number one in the world.

The other is a swordsman recognized by all swordsmen in the world as the strongest.

If El was able to tie with them, doesn’t it mean that his strength and swordsmanship are both already at the level of number in this world?

El’s name spread all over the world once again and he was regarded as the belief and goal by countless pirates and swordsmen.

First, he defeated the Pirate king’s deputy commander with his life and death unknown then he kill Shanks and annihilate the Red-haired Pirates, and now he’s a tie in battle with the strongest man and swordsman in the world.

With such achievements, El once again further consolidated his position and became the strongest candidate for the next inheritor of the title ‘strongest man in the world’ recognized by people all over the world.

After returning to the City of the Sky, El’s next goal is no longer uncertain as he knows how far he is from the ceiling, and just like when he was five and ten years old, he began a long-lost retreat.

While training, El was paying close attention to Doflamingo as he often called him about updates to make him realize how great of importance he attaches to this devil fruit weapon.

So, in order to form a firmer connection, Doflamingo also stepped up his efforts.

However, despite being a former celestial dragon and enjoying a privilege that surpass Morgans and Gild Tesoro by virtue of his personal connections accumulated over the years, he still had a hard time extending his reach to the Science and Technology Department as the world government and navy headquarters attach great importance to it.

With the passage of time, the year 1516 of the Sea Circle Calendar was only ten days away from the end of the year.
