Chapter 356 Roger's Successor
Sea Surface.
Although a round of Bombardment did not cause any Damage to the Oro Jackson, the Navy did not intend to stop the Cannon Fire and quickly prepared for a second round of volleys.
After all, although the effect of the Cannon Fire was minimal, what if it could hit? Even if only one hit could Damage the Vehicle of the Pirate King, it would still be a worthwhile thing.
Moreover, although the Roger Pirates members could easily withstand the Cannon Fire, each block required Stamina. Even if the Stamina spent was not much, in the upcoming battle, the more the Enemy's Stamina was weakened, the fewer casualties on their side would be.
So, compared to the cost of these Shells, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Rayleigh, standing at the Ship's Bow, glanced at the Crew member behind him. Seeing the Determination on their faces to rescue Roger, his heart slightly relaxed. Then, he looked towards the Navy Elite Soldiers pressing towards Loguetown Port.
Judging from the Strength currently displayed by the Navy, their overall Combat Power, even with Roger present, they would not be able to easily contend against these main Navy Combat Power.
However, if they counted the Things Shaki had given them, then the situation would be different. Facing Sengoku, Garp, Kong, and others, they might not be without the Power to fight.
Soon, a new round of Navy Cannon Fire came—
Rayleigh narrowed his Eyes.
Beside him, a Figure directly jumped up.
Then, a crescent-shaped Flying Slash directly blocked all the Shells.
And that Giant Slash did not disappear with the Explosion of the Shells. Instead, its momentum did not diminish, continuing to smash through the artillery positions of Loguetown Port, flying into Loguetown, and making a Rumbling Sound.
"Hmm, that's..."
Garp, standing beside Roger, looked at the Slash coming from the Sea, widened his Eyes, looked at Shanks maintaining his sword-drawing posture, and said to Roger in surprise, "That Kid's Move!?"
And on the Execution Platform, Roger was also extremely surprised to look at Shanks on the Oro Jackson.
Roger had seen Shanks' Slash just now.
Although it was still a bit far from the real God Avoidance, there was no doubt that it already had a Prototype.
"Very similar to your Move God Avoidance..."
Garp muttered to himself, and memories of fighting Roger in the past involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
A Complex Emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
The Person Roger was waiting for, could it be...?
"Shanks!"
Looking at the increasingly close Port and the Navy waiting in formation, Rayleigh, standing at the Ship's Bow of the Oro Jackson, suddenly spoke.
Shanks restrained his thoughts and met Rayleigh's Gaze.
Their Gazes intertwined, and they could both see each other's Determination.
And behind the Oro Jackson were the Navy Warship that had re-encircled them and the Cannons that were ready.
The Navy on the Warship were immediately a little confused to see the Oro Jackson directly rushing into the Encirclement.
You know, once a naval battle is encircled, it's almost already lost by more than half.
"What are you still stunned for? Fire now!!!"
The Navy General on the Warship reacted one after another and issued the Order to fire Cannons.
Hearing the Orders from the Officer, the Gunner on the Warship also quickly entered a State, adjusted the Muzzle, lit the fuse, and quickly fired.
Amidst the Rumbling Sound of Cannon Fire, Shells whistled as they flew towards the Oro Jackson in the Encirclement.
Bang bang…!
The next second, hundreds of Shells exploded around the Hull of the Oro Jackson at the same time.
The scorching and turbulent Air Wave of the Explosion and the Gunsmoke produced instantly engulfed the Oro Jackson.
"Did it hit...?"
The Navy and Gunner on the Warship all looked anxiously at the Giant Gunsmoke in front of them.
In their hearts, they were also uncertain whether this legendary Ship on the Grand Line had been sunk.
After all, many of them were just Elite Soldiers, and had not yet reached the Layers of Officer, so naturally they had not mastered Observation Haki, and therefore could not immediately determine the specific situation in the Gunsmoke.
As the Gunsmoke dissipated, the Oro Jackson tore through the Gunsmoke and rushed out.
And as the Oro Jackson rushed out of the Gunsmoke, Figures flew out of the Smoke and landed directly towards Loguetown.
The Top-Tier Strength of the Navy, who had been staring at the Battlefield, all instantly noticed the Movement of the Roger Pirates and others.
"Hmm?"
Almost at the same Time, Kong, Sakazuki, Sengoku, and other Powerful Figure proficient in advanced Observation Haki, suddenly looked towards various directions of Loguetown.
Obviously, the other side did not intend to attack head-on, but planned to break through from different directions, wanting to use the method of dividing their forces to resolve the Navy's Advantage in Combat Power.
But would this be useful?
You know, in terms of Powerful Figure, the Navy was in an absolute Advantage!
Red Light flickered in Sakazuki's Eyes, as if he could see the Roger Pirates Member rushing towards the Execution Platform from all directions of Loguetown, a smile of ambiguous meaning appeared on his Face.
"Ugh, this is really troublesome."
Kuzan groaned, obviously the next selection of opponents was very important. If he accidentally picked a jackpot, it would be very troublesome.
"..."
Roger, beside Garp, was silent as he watched the Riot breaking out in Loguetown.
Just as the Roger Pirates and his People were heading towards the Execution Platform, a huge wave of Chill swept past in front of their Eyes.
Then, in just the blink of an Eye, a Giant Ice Wall tens of meters high spanned the Street of Loguetown, standing in front of Taro, Dolingo, and his People, thereby blocking their path forward.
"Ara ara..."
Aokiji, with white Chill spreading from the corners of his lips, stood on the Ice Wall with his hands in his pockets, looked at the People below, and said calmly, "You can't pass through here."
The People looked at Aokiji, not surprised. Max Max, Yao Yi, and Taro even attacked Kuzan from three directions simultaneously in an instant.
"Rayleigh."
Kong looked at the Blonde Hair man standing in front of him with a solemn expression and said, "Since you already have the Opportunity to escape the conflict, why not cherish it?"
"I don't want to face you Monsters either, but there's no way around it. After all, I've been adventuring on the Grand Line with that guy for so long. Just watching that 'idiot' being Executed without doing anything, I always feel a bit depressed in my heart!"
Rayleigh picked up the Wine Flask, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in one gulp. Then, he directly threw the Wine Bottle on the ground. Immediately afterwards, he drew his Sword, held it with both hands, and his Aura instantly became as sharp as a Sharp Blade unsheathed. This time, he was still the Pirate King's right-hand man.
Kong also looked at Rayleigh, without saying a word.
But a large hand had already directly grabbed his collar and directly tore off his tie and Uniform, revealing his Form with hideous Scars.
"Roger, you really know how to cause trouble for People."
Garp looked at Roger and said, whether it was Roger entrusting his wife and children to him before, or the Words that affirmed the Existence of the Pirate King Treasure and placed it on the Final Island, it would have a huge impact on this World.
Especially the latter, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has opened an Era.
And Roger also looked up at Garp, obviously he also knew that the previous entrustment of his orphans could be said to have brought considerable trouble to Garp to a certain Degree.
"Actually, Garp, if I heard correctly before, Nicholas has already caused a big Action in Mary Geoise!"
"Yeah, that guy actually pulled that Kid Dorag to attack Mary Geoise together, it's really lawless!"
Thinking of his precious Son Dorag, whom he had placed high hopes on, inexplicably going astray, Garp couldn't help but feel a toothache.
And Sengoku's Face on the side was even darker, even if it wasn't for Considerations that this was a public place, he would have wanted to punch his Old Friend.
You are a bit too heartless, what Dorag is doing now, others don't quite understand, but you, who can treat the Marshal Office and his Office as your own Living Room, would you not know?
If it weren't for Kong and him vouching for you and your battle record in God Valley back then, you, Garp, would have been sent to Impel Down to accompany those Villains long ago.
Or more accurately, Impel Down would welcome a supreme emperor.
"Hahahaha, that guy is just so lawless! Garp, the inherited Will of generations, the changes of the Era, People's Dream, will not end!
Nicholas, that guy, is the same as me, his yearning for Freedom in his bones is stronger than anyone else!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 357 Assassin Master
At this moment, Nicholas, who was causing trouble in Mary Geoise, didn't know that Roger, waiting for fate to arrive on the other side of the Sea, would mention him.
"Mere Pirate, how dare you offend the majesty of God!"
"What do you mean 'mere Pirate'?" Nicholas said, kicking away a CP Member who was trying to ambush him. "Could it be that you guys have developed a sense of superiority from being dogs for the Celestial Dragons?"
"Don't tell me you've actually become spiritual Celestial Dragons after being under the Celestial Dragons for so long. At best, you're just Evil Dogs used by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government to tear apart dissenters!"
Nicholas used "dog" on the left and "Evil Dog" on the right, making the surrounding Holy Land Guards and CP Members extremely angry.
You should know that they are very imposing in front of others. Even the King of the World Government Allied Nations has to bow and scrape before them. Yet, they were ruthlessly humiliated by Nicholas.
"Million Volt Thunder Dog!"
As Nicholas's voice fell, various breeds of Thunder Dog composed of Lightning bared their fangs and directly lunged at the opponents.
Among them were even breeds with extremely insulting connotations like Teddy, Pomeranian, and Teacup Dog.
Tempest Kick!
CP Members had long been ready. Blue Slashes shattered the various dog breeds formed by Electric Current.
And just at this moment, from the shattered Electric Arc flashes, Wind Blade of cyan color flew out, rushing straight towards the CP Members who had just launched their attacks and were in a moment of weakness between attacks.
Iron Body・Jade!
Iron Body・Defense!
Iron Body・Steel!
Iron Body・Merry-Go-Round!
Iron Body・Water Ballet!
...
Facing the Wind Blade that shot towards them, these CP elite put on a great Iron Body show for Nicholas and Dorag.
Unfortunately, Iron Body, this move, is almost a 100% defense against those weaker than oneself, but for Powerful Figure at the same level or far surpassing oneself, it's basically not very useful.
When Wind Blade collided with Iron Body, the clothes covering their bodies were first shredded, and then cutting sounds were heard as it interacted with the Haki attached to their skin.
Those with good Luck used Haki to defuse the Attack of Wind Blade, while those with bad Luck were directly disemboweled and lost their fighting power. As for those who were weak and also had bad Luck, they became one of the Severed limbs from before.
This added a considerable workload to the Holy Land's cleaning work.
And the heavy casualties again caused the morale of the Holy Land Guards and CP Members to begin to wane.
After all, although they were Brainwashing, the fear of Death is engraved in the DNA of all Creature. In the past, the enemies they faced were not even a match for a single blow, and they didn't even need to be serious.
But now, as their companions continued to die tragically, the Seed called Fear had quietly sprouted in their hearts.
As Time passed, the elite of the CP Department also realized that they could not deal with Nicholas and Dorag. This made the complexion under the Mask of CP0 even more unsightly.
"Are we just going to watch them run rampant here?"
"Otherwise?"
"I can't accept it!!!"
"Then why don't you go up and solve those two Weapons with one Fist!?"
"What we can do now is to stall these two Weapons and wait for the decision of the Big Shot!"
"..."
Some CP0 elite were still relatively calm, while others were more irritable. After all, when had they ever suffered such a setback?
What's more, the situation in the Place was not going according to their Plan at all. If it continued like this, not to mention exhausting the opponent's Stamina, their own casualties would become unbearable.
After all, even with the World Government's vast resources, they couldn't withstand such waste. You should know that these are all precious elite, yet they are being consumed in a tactic of attrition with no Value.
But facing this situation, they didn't have any good solutions for the time being.
In the end, it's all because...
There were no Weapons of sufficient level among them to deal with the opponents.
Just as Nicholas and Dorag easily tore apart another wave of suicidal Holy Land Guards and CP Members, a huge Slash suddenly attacked from the Shadow on the side.
Dorag noticed the Attack, instantly raised his hand, and conjured a Sharp Blade flowing with Wind Aura in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he swung his Sword and shattered the huge Slash that flew towards him.
"Boom—!"
The Tempest Kick, split in two, landed on the Ground around the Square, causing a violent Explosion.
The surging Air Wave of the Explosion blew away the Severed limbs of the Holy Land Guards and CP Members in the Square.
"Tap tap..."
Accompanied by a clear Footsteps, a Figure slowly walked out from the Shadow of the Architecture.
Nicholas and Dorag simultaneously looked at the person who came. After all, according to the normal flow, the Strength of people who appear like this is generally not weak.
As the Figure walked out of the Shadow, his Look was also exposed In front of the Two people.
It was an Old Man who looked very old, with a Skull Mask and a slightly hunched Figure. The white hair on his head swayed in the Wind. His Look made people feel that he might fall in front of You at any moment and then grab your leg to extort you.
"Assassin Master!"
Many CP0 who recognized the Status of the person who came were all very respectful, because the Status of this Old Man who appeared In front of them was very unusual in Cipher Pol. Even the assassination techniques of the entire CP0 were taught by this person.
"Even this Old Man has to be mobilized. I really don't know whether to say you are too troublesome, or the new generation of Holy Land is too useless..."
The Master came and stood directly In front of Nicholas and Dorag, his Gaze cold.
He had even forgotten when was the last time he personally participated in a Battle, after all, the Time that had passed was really too long.
"Hmm, it's the Thunder-Lightning Hurricane from the Logia-type Devil Fruit. No wonder these little guys are helpless against you. To kill this kind of tricky Logia type, you indeed need some Strength. Back then, among us, those who could kill Logia type were also very few, after all, the Elementalization of Logia type is really a bit troublesome."
This person called Master sized up Nicholas and Dorag with a scrutinizing Gaze. That Gaze seemed like a Butcher sizing up livestock about to be slaughtered.
Nicholas frowned. He couldn't feel the Surge Life Aura that a Powerful Figure should have from this Old Man.
But his nerves were constantly Warning him that this Weapon was a dangerous character.
Many times, characters who look harmless often give you a ruthless blow. After all, the Pirate World is not a Place that follows scientific Principle.
Even if at first glance this Old Man in front of him didn't look like a Powerful Figure, Nicholas would not easily relax his vigilance. After all, that Tempest Kick comparable to Flying Slash was not something an ordinary Old Man could kick out.
"According to the Description on the Intelligence..."
Assassin Master looked at Nicholas and Dorag with a Gaze filled with cold Killing Intent, his Tone extremely low: "You two Weapons are countless times more dangerous than those so-called Sea Emperor on the Grand Line. Looking at it this way, my Luck is not bad."
Putting aside the Order from above to have Nicholas and Dorag killed, from a personal standpoint, being able to personally kill such a Powerful Figure is also a pretty good experience.
The surging Killing Intent instantly disappeared, and the Existence called Master suddenly disappeared.
A true assassin never lets the opponent notice oneself before launching an assassination.
(If the 1053 Intelligence is true, I really suspect that Oda is a bit out of his Mind. Damn it, back when Orochi Usurp the Country, even if Orochi was a fool, wouldn't he confirm whether Kozuki Sukiyaki was dead or not? And even if Orochi is a fool, are Higurashi and Semimaru, who have lived on Rocks's Ship for so long, also fools? Can't they distinguish between fake Death and real Death? Without confirming that Sukiyaki was really dead, would Orochi dare to scheme against Kozuki Oden so much?
And Pluton has appeared in Wano Country again? Is it going to be said later that the Nefertari royal family is not the Vivi Family of Alabasta, but the Kozuki Family of Wano Country? The Vivi Family is just a Bait thrown out to hide the Kozuki Family and attract Attention.
Is it really going to be Nefertari Momonosuke Pluton Uranus, and then have Momonosuke marry Poseidon?
Teacher Kaido is really miserable. Not only is he not Joy Boy, but he was also brutally beaten by Nika Boy, whom he had been waiting for for many years. Moreover, after occupying Wano Country for so many years, he didn't expect that there was an Ancient Weapon comparable to Poseidon and Uranus right under his Buttocks.
Compared to these, Buggy becoming a Four Emperors is not so difficult to understand. After all, the Seven Warlords System has been abolished, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea might band together. Then it's normal for Buggy, a Powerful Figure with Lucky Haki, to be pushed out. Moreover, Buggy mixes in the top social circle of the Grand Line. If the Top-Tier Powerhouse among Pirates doesn't know Buggy, then what kind of Top-Tier Powerhouse are they? ╮(╯﹏╰）╭)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 358 Hostage
"Rumble!!!" A giant Power struck Tiger's body heavily, sending his tall frame crashing towards the Bubble Cable Car Port. Accompanied by a deafening Rumble, a meticulously carved statue with a majestic appearance instantly crumbled.
The person who sent Tiger flying with a single blow retracted his Fist. Ignoring the sent-flying Tiger, he scanned the crowd, assessing the Strength of these fleeing Slaves.
"That Weapon is CP0! A Celestial Dragons's lackey!" Looking at the suddenly appearing Enemy, the Slaves also fell into panic. For them, who had lived in Holy Land Mary Geoise for a long time, they naturally understood the meaning of the appearance of CP0, these Celestial Dragons's hounds.
"All the Rebellious Slaves should be here. After all, apart from the Bubble Cable Car of the Bubble Cable Car Port, these Weapons have no other means to leave Holy Land Mary Geoise." At this moment, a Fog also suddenly transformed into a human form and appeared beside his Werewolf Companion.
And at this moment, the Two people simultaneously looked towards the direction of the Bubble Cable Car Port. There, a Bubble Cable Car slowly ascended and docked. Soon, a man and a woman, Two Celestial Dragons, under the protection of Guards, descended from the Bubble Cable Car.
"Who did this? Who exactly did this! Is there no Law of the Land left! Is there no Law left! Who allowed so many lowly Slaves to appear here!" The Two Celestial Dragons who had returned to the Holy Land for Shelter from Red Port stared wide-eyed at the ragged and disheveled Slaves in front of them. Their faces were almost twisted, filled with intense disgust.
The Two people had even decided that no matter who caused all of this, they would definitely chop him and those stupid Fish who attacked Red Port into pieces and feed them to Fishman!
"Saint George Klim, Palace Griselda, it's very dangerous here now, please leave here as soon as possible and go to the Shelter!" A group of Bodyguards in Suits beside them looked at the obviously strange situation and pleaded in a low, almost begging Tone, praying that the Two Celestial Dragons in front of them would cooperate with them and quickly leave this place of trouble.
As long as the safety of these Two Celestial Dragons is not a problem, then no matter how big the Turmoil is, it will have nothing to do with them.
However— Perhaps it was because of their long-standing arrogance and domineering behavior, and because the Ground they were standing on was Holy Land Mary Geoise, feeling the glory of their ancestors enveloping them, these Two Celestial Dragons were filled with Pride.
These Two Celestial Dragons, addressed by the Bodyguards as Saint George Klim and Palace Griselda, completely ignored the Bodyguards' advice. Instead, they clamored to tear these Slaves who were wantonly wandering around Mary Geoise limb from limb, to make them feel how miserable the consequences of offending Celestial Dragons would be.
Seeing that these Two Celestial Dragons completely failed to understand the current situation, as well as the increasingly strange Eyes of the Slaves beside them, and the Fire in the distance that was expanding and almost covering half of Mary Geoise, the Bodyguards couldn't help but be anxious. They could only keep persuading them with kind words, and apart from that, they had no other choice.
After all, if they forcibly took the Two people away, given the Personality of Celestial Dragons, even if you were indeed considering their safety, you would definitely Endure their Fury. After all, Creatures like Celestial Dragons are always equated with being unreasonable.
And just as the Two people were still clamoring, the Ground Underfoot suddenly burst open, and then two large hands suddenly stretched out from under the Ground and grabbed the Bodies of Saint George Klim and Palace Griselda.
Facing the sudden Accident, Saint George Klim directly rolled his Eyes and fainted. And looking at Morley's large, eye-searing Face, Palace Griselda also let out a Scream loud enough to pierce eardrums.
And the Two CP0 in the distance, seeing Palace Griselda Screaming non-stop in Morley's hand, and the unconscious Saint George Klim, couldn't help but have a change in Complexion.
If the difficulty of the previous Mission was three stars, then the difficulty of the current Mission has directly been raised to nine stars. After all, the other side now has Hostage in their hands, and Celestial Dragon Hostage at that.
"Damn it." "We were careless. We didn't expect the other side to have reinforcements." The Two Elite of CP0 watched the Celestial Dragon Hostage in Morley's hand and dared not to act rashly. They dared not gamble. They even dared to invade Holy Land Mary Geoise and caused such a big commotion.
For them, killing Two Celestial Dragons might really not be a psychological burden.
"Morley, it's good that you arrived in time." Tiger, who was not lightly injured, covered his right abdomen and said to Morley.
Morley looked at Tiger and said with some concern, "Tiger, you're injured." "It doesn't matter. Let's evacuate quickly. The Support from Marine Headquarters should be arriving soon."
And just as the Two people were talking, the Black-Clad Bodyguards who were originally responsible for the safety of the Two Celestial Dragons also took out Guns one after another and coldly pointed them at the Two people, and said in a deep voice, "You dare to attack the great Celestial Dragons, if you know what's good for you, quickly..." "Snap."
Before he could finish his Words, he saw Morley gently clench his Fist, and the crisp sound obviously came from the Celestial Dragon's Body held in his hand.
"Ahhh!!!" The pain of Bones breaking made Saint George Klim, who had been frightened unconscious by Morley before, wake up from his coma in pain. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a serious Injury. It could be said that he was in so much pain that he wished he were dead.
And Saint George Klim's screams and the Cruel means of the other side caused Palace Griselda, who was originally Screaming in terror, to roll her Eyes and faint.
"Don't be impulsive! Calm down! Calm down! This is the Holy Land. You need to think clearly. Once..." "Snap." Another crisp sound of Bone fracture.
"Ahhh!!!" Palace Griselda, who had originally rolled her Eyes and fainted, also experienced the pain that Saint George Klim had just Endured. Immediately, her Face twisted in pain, and she Screamed.
And the Look of Celestial Dragons like this made the Slaves a little stunned for a while. They had really never seen Celestial Dragons like this before. It was really too unfamiliar.
This is the Existence who claims to be Descendants of the Creator... So they also feel pain, and they also wail because they feel pain. So they are also so fragile and pathetic.
So, removing the Status of Descendants of the Creator, Celestial Dragons are no different from a Swine rolling in the mud. They also bleed, and even they can die!
At this moment, a strange brilliance began to appear in the Eyes of some Slaves.
At the same Time. The Elite of Marine Headquarters who rushed from Marineford were rushing to the Port on the Grand Line side of the Red Line at the fastest Speed.
When the News of the Holy Land being attacked came, the Elite of the Headquarters rushed to Support Holy Land Mary Geoise at the fastest Speed.
Although the Elite of Marine Headquarters who departed from Marineford had not yet arrived at the Holy Land, they had already grasped the situation at Mary Geoise through Information.
The Information that can be confirmed at present mainly includes that this attack is not a single-person raid, but an organized attack. Among them, the Top-Tier Combat Power that appeared are Thunder God Nicholas and Dorag, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Currently, these Two people are fighting against the CP Organization under the World Government, the Holy Land Guard, and the Power of Celestial Dragons in front of Pangaea Castle in the Holy Land.
In addition, the G-1 Branch near the New World was attacked by the Charlotte Family. Charlotte Linlin, who was originally suspected to be dead, appeared and led the Charlotte Family to launch a Destructive offensive against G-1.
It is still not clear what kind of cooperation the Charlotte Family has reached with Nicholas, the attacker this time.
In addition, the Fish-Man Island Neptune Army of the former World Government Allied Nations also participated in this attack, and has almost occupied Red Port on the New World side.
And also, Holy Land Mary Geoise is now engulfed in a Sea of Fire, and a large number of Slaves have rioted.
Judging from the current situation, the situation that the Navy will face after arriving can be said to be quite tricky.
"Can't we go any faster?" On the Bubble Cable Car, a Navy Vice Admiral frowned and said, looking at the slowly ascending Bubble Cable Car.
Anything involving Celestial Dragons is definitely not a Good Thing. Who knows if they will be held accountable for arriving late. Just thinking of the disgusting behavior of Celestial Dragons and the World Government made this Vice Admiral a little restless.
"Vice Admiral Camus, calm down. There's still plenty of Time." Navy Staff Officer Tsuru, who was also in the Bubble Cable Car, calmly drank tea.
Hearing Tsuru's Words, Vice Admiral Camus also calmed down. Then, with a strange Look, he looked at Fujitora, who was sitting next to Tsuru and also drinking tea calmly. After all, speaking of which, if Fujitora wanted to speed up the Bubble Cable Car with his Ability, it should be very easy, but seeing the Calm Look of the Two people, he didn't say much. Don't guess what the Big Shot are thinking.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 359 It Really Isn't the Right Time to Come
"Rumble—!"
Amidst the fierce explosions, several luxurious buildings within Mary Geoise were directly collapsed by the aftershock, raising a large Dust Cloud.
Whoosh—!
A sharp Gale flashed out from the Dust Cloud, tearing a huge opening in the spreading Dust Cloud.
Then, dozens of Figures followed closely behind.
As the battle continued, reinforcements from the World Government also arrived. Moreover, while Nicholas was held back by the Assassin Master, they naturally focused their Target on the other Enemy, Dorag.
It was just like a lone lion struggling to fend off a pack of hyenas. Even Dorag was finding it somewhat troublesome to face the siege of these guys. Furthermore, these guys seemed to be intentionally leading the Battlefield away from Pangaea Castle in order to separate Nicholas and Dorag.
On the other side, Nicholas and the CP0 known as the Assassin Master had also launched a fierce battle.
Unlike those Small fry from before, the guy in front of him could be completely described as being born for assassination.
"Kid, Logia Type are not invincible on the Grand Line…"
Along with another Attack, the Assassin Master's Figure flickered and disappeared again, then reappeared a hundred meters away in front of Nicholas.
On Nicholas's cheek, there was a conspicuous Bloodstain.
"Haki and Sea Prism Stone can both be used to attack Logia Type, you should have noticed something unusual now, right?"
The Assassin Master held two strangely shaped Daggers, looking at Nicholas from a distance.
"No wonder you're called the Assassin Master, it seems you have indeed killed Logia-type Devil Fruit User."
Nicholas stretched out his Finger and wiped away the Bloodstain on his face, then looked at the Assassin Master holding the Daggers in the distance.
This guy's Observation Haki is very strong, even surpassing Katakuri whom Nicholas had seen before. Moreover, this guy truly grasped the essence of an assassin. If a Strike doesn't hit, he immediately retreats far away, without the Resolve of an assassin to fight head-on.
There is no doubt that this guy is a truly dangerous assassin.
Relying on top-tier dual Haki, excellent stealth Ability, strange Devil Fruit Ability, and those two bizarre Daggers equipped with Sea Prism Stone on their Blade Edge, if Nicholas is not mistaken, those two Daggers of unknown craftsmanship should be able to easily tear through the Defense of Zoan Type.
The most important thing is that this guy actually poisoned his Weapon. If Nicholas hadn't been messing around with Bell-lin for too long, making his poison resistance higher, he might have been poisoned just now.
It could even be said that a guy who is so well-versed in the way of assassins is enough to pose a fatal Threat to some Top-Tier Powerhouse.
"A poison-using assassin, such an authentic assassin is really rare…"
Nicholas said with considerable emotion. He felt that a guy like this was more like someone from a department that specializes in handling some shady Things for the World Government.
After all, if a special agency was like Lucci and his gang, who hadn't investigated anything substantial after lurking for five years, and even clearly had the Opportunity to eliminate Luffy and Barry but just simply trapped them, it would be a bit too unprofessional.
(Kaku: There was once an Opportunity to personally kill Nika, Joy Boy, and the Fifth Emperor of the Sea placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. Looking back after two years, if God gives me another Opportunity…)
Suddenly, an anomaly occurred.
A Gravity appeared out of thin air, shrouding Nicholas and Dorag.
"Hmm!?"
The appearance of Gravity made Nicholas and Dorag's Complexion suddenly change.
This Ability…
They were too familiar with it.
At the same time.
Outside the Holy Land, Navy reinforcements from Marineford also arrived at the scene.
"It seems we've come at just the right time."
The suddenly appearing Gravity covered the entire Social Square.
Not only Nicholas and the others, but even the Holy Land Guard Army and CP Members were also suppressed by the Gravity, and their Actions began to become sluggish.
"This is…?!"
The sudden change caused the Holy Land Guards' Complexions to change, fearing that Enemy reinforcements had arrived again.
After subconsciously being on Alert, these Holy Land Guard Army and CP Organization Members all looked up at the Sky where the Sound came from.
A huge Boulder was floating in the Sky above the Social Square in defiance of the rules of Gravity. Standing on the Boulder was a middle-aged Man wearing a purple Kimono.
It was the current Navy Vice Admiral who summoned Gravity to cover the entire Social Square—Fujitora Issho.
Standing next to him was Navy Staff Officer Vice Admiral Tsuru.
At the same time, Navy Elites wearing Justice Coats also stepped on Moon Walk and arrived at the edge of the Social Square, stopping outside the Social Square covered by Gravity, looking solemnly at Nicholas in the Place.
The purple Ripple-like Gravity continued to exert Pressure on the Social Square.
The Navy Elites who were the first to rush to the scene naturally didn't care about the increasingly ugly expressions on the faces of the Holy Land Guards and CP Members. In their view, the Navy grandpas are here to support you, and making you suffer a bit is also for your own good.
Above the Boulder in the Sky.
Fujitora's Cane Sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, and the purple Radiance representing the Gravity effect overflowed from the Sheath.
Although he used Gravity to achieve crowd control, the Observation Haki he released enveloped Pangaea Castle on the side, sensing the several powerful Auras in Pangaea Castle. His slightly opened Eyes revealed a patch of white.
Only Fujitora himself knew the Reason for scanning Pangaea Castle with Observation Haki.
With the arrival of the Navy Elites led by Fujitora, Holy Land Mary Geoise once again ushered in a wave of fresh Blood.
In just a few seconds, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Nicholas and them.
"Issho…"
Fujitora's appearance made Dorag's Eyes slightly narrowed, then he sighed in a low voice: "It really isn't the right time to come."
Bubble Cable Car Port, at this time, a huge Hole had appeared in the Ground of the Port, and a large number of Slaves were jumping towards the Hole without hesitation.
This was a slide that Morley used the Push-Push Fruit to push out on the Red Line. Obviously, they also knew that with the carrying capacity of the Bubble Cable Car, it was completely unrealistic to get all these Slaves to escape the Red Line.
So they simply created a fast Passage. Although it was a temporary idea and the construction quality was not very good, and the slide experience was not very good, compared to being able to escape Holy Land Mary Geoise, these problems were not problems.
And at Red Port, a few minutes had passed.
Ivankov and Jinbe were also injured in many places, and their situation became precarious.
The first to have problems was Jinbe.
Facing the Megalodon Fish-man's terrifying Power and Physique, Jinbe could still parry at the beginning.
However, as he continuously used Fish-Man Karate in the Battle, resulting in excessive Stamina consumption, he failed to dodge the opponent's Attack.
Teeth wrapped in Armament Haki directly tore off a large piece of Flesh from his Shoulder.
"Delicious!"
The Megalodon Fish-man's Eyes were fierce, and the Bloodstain at the Corner of Mouth made people even more terrified.
"I was careless…!!!"
Jinbe's Eyes shrank sharply, obviously he also knew what it meant to suffer such a serious Injury at this time.
"Then let's end it, revitalizing the glory of Fish-man, we are duty-bound!"
At this critical moment of Life and death, Jinbe did not panic or Fear at all. Instead, he thought of Fish-Man Island, the Mermaid Beautiful Women on Mermaid Beach, and Queen Otohime and Tiger, had they completed their Mission…
If I die here…
Will someone be able to take over my work and continue to guard Fish-Man Island?
Just as his Body was about to be torn apart, a tall Figure flashed in front of him faster.
Bang—
That Figure slapped the Megalodon Fish-man's Body with a palm.
Along with a burst of sonic boom, the Megalodon Fish-man's huge Body was instantly sent flying, smashing into several Buildings and collapsing them, and finally being buried by the Ruins.

Chapter 360 Medicine Plus Buff
"Big Brother Tiger!"
Seeing the person who suddenly appeared before him, Jinbe couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Jinbe was so surprised not because of Tiger's sudden appearance, but because of the terrifying strength and aura that Tiger was unleashing.
As Tiger's little brother, Jinbe was very clear about Tiger's strength. Tiger was strong, ranking among the top Fishman, but definitely not this strong.
He even sent the terrifying Megalodon Fish-man flying with a single blow.
Above the Sky.
After brewing, dark clouds began to release Rainwater from the Sky.
And Jinbe could clearly see that when the Rainwater fell on Tiger's Body, it was quickly evaporated by the temperature of his skin. That was the high temperature brought about by the rapid pumping of scalding Blood in his Body.
At this moment.
The strength of Tiger's Aura alarmed everyone on the Red Port Battlefield.
Ivankov sent a Pretty Girl Warrior who was trying to sneak attack him flying with an Okama Kick, then watched this Scene with a slight frown.
"Is this the Potent Drug Nicholas boy spoke of? It's truly terrifying, but the burden on the Body should be equally heavy."
He naturally saw Tiger swallow the Pill to save Jinbe.
And the change in Tiger's Aura happened after swallowing the Pill. He just didn't expect the Pill to unleash such terrifying Power.
This immediately reminded him of his Healing Hormones.
Healing Hormones can be said to give anyone suffering from an incurable disease a chance to recover, but the Cost is to sacrifice 10 years of Lifespan, and the success rate is only 1-2%. As for how this accurate success rate came about, it was naturally because of countless unlucky people and a few lucky ones.
Moreover, this also depends to some extent on the Strength of the person receiving the Healing Hormones injection. The stronger the Strength, the higher the success rate.
So now it seems that the Potent Drug is also a Medicine that can obtain powerful Power by burning Lifespan or even squeezing oneself dry.
"Wu ha ha ha, I originally thought Jinbe was already the Strongest among the Fishman, but I didn't expect there to be such a brave person among the Fishman. Who are you, dare to announce your name!"
The Great White Shark Fish-man's voice came again from the Ruins.
Jinbe's Complexion suddenly changed. He didn't expect Tiger's terrifying Strike just now to not deprive him of his Battle Strength.
Tiger stared at the Great White Shark Fish-man who was slowly walking towards him from the Ruins.
Now.
Having swallowed the Potent Drug, he felt full of Power, and even had the illusion that he could blow up the Red Line with one Fist.
Of course, he also knew that this was an illusion brought about by the rapid Improvement of Power, but although he couldn't blow up the Red Line with one Fist, he should still be able to blow up a Warship with one Fist.
"Fishman Tiger."
"New Fishman Hazelett."
For the Great White Shark Fish-man Hazelett, Tiger, whose Aura had suddenly soared, made his Blood inexplicably burn. Only by defeating such a powerful Fishman could he prove that he was the chosen Fishman who could lead the Fishman to the New World!
At this time, whether it was Haki or Physique, he was at the Peak of his Life.
He didn't know how he could lose in a Battle with Tiger!
"Then use your Head to become the stepping stone for me to become the Fishman King."
Hazelett looked coldly at Tiger, who had put on the starting stance of Fish-Man Karate, then clenched his Fist, and at the same time, a Conqueror's Haki instantly burst out of his Body and pressed towards Tiger.
"Conqueror's Haki!"
Feeling the oncoming impact, Tiger gritted his teeth and said. He really didn't expect the Fishman in front of him to have Conqueror's Haki.
"That's right, this is me, Hazelett, who will lead the Fish-man Race to the Peak in the Future!"
Hazelett looked at Tiger with a grim Smile. Obviously, he who possessed Conqueror's Haki was the King of the Fish-man Race!
"A Weapon like you becoming the King of Fish-Man Island will only bring Disaster to Fish-Man Island…"
Tiger looked coldly at Hazelett, who was talking wildly. In his opinion, the King of Fish-Man Island might not need to be strong, but he must have a compassionate heart.
If he only knew Power and lost his heart, what difference would there be from a Beast In the Sea!
Even though Hazelett was a rare Megalodon Fish-man in the Fish-man Race, and even had Conqueror's Haki that could only appear in millions of People, although Conqueror's Haki might not be scarce among Humans, but don't forget how many Fishman are there in the Whole world in total.
However, he didn't want Fish-Man Island to be ruled by such a Weapon.
And Hazelett obviously also saw that Tiger was a conservative of the Fishman royal family, so naturally there was no need to keep him.
Hazelett stretched out his Palm, and Rainwater falling from the Sky slowly gathered and compressed on his thick Palm covered with Armament Haki.
This is—
Fish-Man Karate·Water Shot!
Tiger looked Calm and unmoved.
He just turned his Head and said to Jinbe: "Jinbe, it's over, take the liberated Compatriots and other Slaves to the Grand Line."
"Big Brother Tiger!"
Hearing Tiger's Words, Jinbe said anxiously.
After all, holding the rear is too dangerous, and he didn't want Tiger to face such a terrifying Weapon as Hazelett alone.
"Jinbe, remember that everyone has their own responsibility! And your current responsibility is to lead those Companions and equally miserable Weapons home!"
Tiger's deafening Sound echoed over Red Port. The Slaves who had just come down from the slide were also stunned.
And when Jinbe saw those Companions who were covered in Injuries, and the light of Hope in their Eyes, he nodded heavily to Tiger, and then directly turned around to guide the Slaves to board the Ship and leave.
And Hazelett, who had completed his charge, also took the lead in attacking.
"New Fish-Man Karate·Water Shot!"
Hazelett suddenly shot the highly compressed Water ball in his Hand at Jinbe.
Accompanied by a Sonic Boom, the Water ball carrying terrifying power and constantly rotating In the Sky shot straight at Jinbe's back, which was exposed to him at high Speed.
The Speed was so fast that it almost reached behind Jinbe in the blink of an Eye.
"Plum Flower Skin!"
Accompanied by a Rumble, Water Splash splashed everywhere. Tiger's Figure with his arms crossed appeared behind Jinbe.
Looking at Tiger, whose arms were twisted by his Water Shot but didn't say a word, and even used his intact left Arm to reset his twisted right Arm without changing his Complexion, Hazelett narrowed his Eyes slightly.
Such a Will, he is really a tricky Weapon…
For Tiger, his only Thought at this time was—
To kill the Fishman in front of him who had defected to the World Government.
A Senran Killing Intent appeared in Tiger's Eyes, and then he stomped his Foot fiercely and attacked Hazelett at high Speed.
As a Fishman, Tiger understood very well that against Fishman who are known for their Physical Prowess, the effect of ranged Attack is very low, and Fishman are not very good at ranged Attack. Only close combat methods that can exert Full Power are the best countermeasures.
Seeing Tiger rushing towards him aggressively, Hazelett also showed a grim Smile on his Face.
"Iron Block: Iron Wall!"
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a Rumble, the Ground paved with stone slabs Underfoot Hazelett suddenly shattered and stretched all the way to the Seaside, and Hazelett was gone.
The next moment.
A loud Rumble came from the Sea Surface, splashing large Waves.
