Chapter 230: Clash of Kings – Mio vs. Whitebeard
"I lost..."
Vista looked a little dejected. He had anticipated defeat, but not so swiftly—and not at the hands of a female swordsman. However, he quickly composed himself and raised his head to look at Erica, asking in a low, heavy voice, "Why did you use that sword just now?"
That oppressive feeling...
Even now, the memory of it made his skin crawl.
If this had been a life-or-death duel, he would already be dead.
Unfortunately, Erica didn't answer. She simply sheathed her weapon and returned to Mio's side. Her eyes sparkled with pride as she looked up at him, as if to say, Did I do well, my lord?
Mio gently rubbed her head and smiled. "Not bad."
Erica couldn't help but grin and then sat down quietly beside him.
"So strong..." Marco muttered, sighing helplessly. The Black Crow Pirates truly lived up to their monstrous reputation.
He had sensed strength from her aura, but witnessing it directly was a different story. The impact wasn't just visual—it struck deep into the spirit.
He had thought Vista might lose, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The difference in power was simply overwhelming.
