Chapter 655 But why? (4400 words)
[Chapter Serialization·Kami's Great Adventure 17·"The Mermaid's Return"]
[Papagu accompanied Kami to recover in this beach house, while the chestnut-headed muscular man repeatedly dived day after day, as if he was unwilling to find something... On this day, he once again found nothing and emerged from the water in disappointment, but saw the little mermaid on the shore raising her hand and eagerly said, "If you want to find something on the seabed, I can help you!" ]——
The entire sky was lit up by the flames of the lava...
The scorching air pressed down, and the two big snakes on the bow made anxious hissing sounds...
Lynch seemed to be able to smell the smell of Hancock, Robin, Marigold and his own burning hair...
“Lynch…”
Endless raging magma enveloped them like a shower of meteors. Hancock and Robin turned around, with light and shadows swaying on their cheeks.
Robin crossed his arms, and petals rose from the ground in front of them, condensing into the body of Aunt Hua Zizai. Bang! Bang! Bang! The lava bombarded Aunt Hua again and again, burning her beyond recognition. Robin's face turned pale, and he was exhausted.
Marigrude growled, his body bulging with muscles, covered with golden snake scales, his palms wrapped with a strong domineering aura, he took a big step, clapped his hands against the falling lava, and was burned so hard that he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The edge of Hancock's palm flowed with black domineering aura, wrapped with domineering color to block in front of everyone, and smashed the blazing lava one by one through the air, splashing out balls of scorching magma, which sprinkled on the deck of the red ship and the top of the cabin, igniting a raging fire, piercing through the canvas, and the fire spread rapidly... Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, the hull was constantly hit hard, many of them were broken, and the fire quickly spread around. As the flames leaped, the painful roars of the two tugboat snakes at the bow could be heard...
"It's useless." Lynch tried to clench his fists. He ignored the increasingly dense blazing lava in the sky above his head and looked at the uninhabited small desert island not far from the front flank. He said to himself, "Their target is not us..."
Akainu's lava was not aimed at them on the ship at all. It was obvious that his purpose was purely to sink their ship and cut off their retreat as soon as possible.
And is that island not far ahead the battlefield they have chosen?
But how can they be sure that we will pass by here...
The surrounding sea surface had already heated up and boiled due to the sinking magma... and white hot steam rose up...
Lynch and BIB looked at each other, and the latter decisively punched him in the chest and took out the Mirror Fruit chip.
"Take a deep breath." Lynch said hurriedly, then he held Robin in his left hand and Hancock in his right hand. He nimbly wrapped his long black hair around Little Green and the pale-faced Marigold, and jumped directly into the sea with them.
Robin and Hancock on the left and right, Mary and Little Green who were tied up with black hair, all took a deep breath.
Plop! Boom boom boom...
Balls of lava hit the red ship, burning it and sinking it...
Gurgle...
In the scalding sea, Robin, Hancock, Marigold, and Little Green in Lynch's arms, as Devil Fruit users, all lost their strength in the first place and drowned directly...
The sea surface above my head was burning with red light, and the boundary of the rising water temperature was rapidly spreading downwards...
The black armor didn't hesitate. The left arm armor covered with blue flame patterns quickly took out the devil fruit chips from Robin, Hancock, Marigold and Little Green.
Cough! Robin, Hancock, and Marigold coughed silently, coughing out bubbles.
Swimming deeper into the sea, Lynch made eye contact with Robin, Hancock, and Marigold in his arms, and the three women nodded. Although he still couldn't breathe, and the deep breath he took before entering the water also lost a lot of energy, he finally recovered his strength and didn't drown powerlessly... Robin was in a bad state, her face was pale, and her eyes began to blur... Lynch leaned over and kissed her lips, and breathed in.
The long hair of several people fluttered in the sea like black seaweed. Hancock puffed up her cheeks and looked away. "BIB" had left immediately. Hancock knew that it must have gone to find Sanda Sonya who sank into the sea first... Sanda was the most dangerous one now.
Woo…
Robin looked better, and his vision became clearer, but when he saw Lynch's pupils suddenly contracted at a very close distance.
wrong!
Lin Qi turned his head away, his face solemn, and reached out to touch the sea water below.
The scalding heat of the boiling seawater above them continued to press towards them... but the seawater below...
The water temperature is unusually cold...
Lin Qi's palm gently moved, and through the deep sea water below, his observation Haki penetrated and seemed to see...
Dozens of meters below...
The sea... is completely frozen.
In the dark seabed ice, a huge amount of ice-blue frost slowly gathered into a human shape, as if it was coldly watching them falling into the sea above...
Aokiji...
How is it possible? How could he end up at the bottom of the sea...
Lin Qi couldn't believe it, his mind was racing. Aokiji was clearly awakening the Ice Fruit... Could it be that he had awakened the entire area around the island in front of him into an Ice Island, and then Akainu's lava...
Melt all the ice on the surface...
Disguised as...
Ordinary...
Sea area...
Endless coldness spread from the ice layer on the seabed, gradually freezing the seawater...
…
Crash!
The sea surface near the small island ahead broke open, and several figures emerged from the waves, but were quickly frozen by the cold that followed.
Crack, crack, crack... Lynch held Little Green in one hand and Robin in the other, and they were covered by the ice one after another; Hancock and Sandasonia, as soon as they rushed out of the sea, were frozen into two beautiful ice sculptures by the cold chasing from behind.
In the blink of an eye, a large circle of sea surrounding the island completely froze into a solid ice field, doubling the size of the island.
On the ice, the four icemen were only inches away from the island's land...
No, not four people...
On the sea surface to their side, Sanda Sonya was half exposed above the sea and was also frozen, like an ice beauty who had fallen and embedded in the ice...
Boom boom...
In the center is a small island, surrounded by a circle of ice. Around the ice, a huge and thick frozen wall rises from the ground with an astonishing momentum... Soon, a hundreds-meter-high frozen wall was formed that completely surrounded the sea area and the island.
"Crack"... A crack appeared on the frozen Hancock's body, and the crack spread rapidly, and finally exploded. Hancock was covered with ice and water stains. She gasped, glanced at her third sister who was still frozen next to her, and then looked at Lynch, Robin and others who were still frozen on the other side... Hancock's face became colder than the ice, and anger burned in her beautiful eyes as she looked at the island ahead. In the middle of the island, there were five towering peaks, like a huge crown that fell on the island.
At the top of the "crown" in the final room, there stood a figure in a navy coat, half of his body was covered in molten flames, looking at them coldly.
"Crack", "Crack"... The ice on Sandasonia's body, which was embedded in the ice, cracked little by little, and finally exploded. She was covered with black armor, which helped her to break the ice around her little by little and crawl out.
Bang! Lynch also shattered the ice that had frozen his entire body, along with Robin and Little Green beside him.
Bang! As soon as Robin got free, she half-knelt on the ice. Water kept dripping from her body, dripping onto the ice and quickly freezing. It was unclear whether it was sweat or melted ice chips from her body... Like Lynch, she was panting tiredly, exhaling white air on the ice.
It's so slow to break free... Hancock glanced at Lynch, feeling a little pain in her heart. He and Robin were really not in good shape now. They had been fighting for so long and were already exhausted physically and mentally.
"elder sister!"
Sanda came across the ice, half of his body was covered with frozen blood, and a bloody hole several fingers wide on the back of his shoulder blade was also frozen purple.
BIB put the chip of the flying snake back into Sanda's body, and took out the chip of the power snake and pressed it into the still frozen Marigold's body, followed by Hancock's Medusa fruit, Robin's flower-flower fruit, Xiaolu's castle fruit... Finally, after thinking for a while, it pressed the mirror fruit into its body. Crack... Regaining the power of the devil fruit, Marigold's ice sculpture soon cracked, crack, crack, crack, boom! She shattered the ice and finally got out, gasping for breath.
"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me..." Sandasonia felt very guilty, covering the frozen blood on her right shoulder, "Maybe I could have run away at the first moment..."
She fell into the sea and her life was in danger. If Lynch and the others didn't want to give up on her, they couldn't just retreat into the castle.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Stop talking nonsense." Lynch gasped and pushed Sanda's self-blaming and painful face with his big hand.
"Lynch..." Robin felt cold all over and it became difficult for him to walk.
"I know..." Lynch turned around and looked at the figure standing with his hands in his trouser pockets on the top of the huge frozen siege that surrounded the sea, "Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru..."
He raised his head and looked at the golden light that was hovering in the distant sky and flashing back and forth.
"besides……"
Lin Qi retracted his gaze, wiped the cold broken ice off his face, and moved his gaze from Akainu on the towering peak like a crown down to the tall figure walking towards them expressionlessly at the foot of the mountain...
Admiral of the Navy, Buddha's Warring States.
"Lynch! Nico Robin!" Zhan Guo took off his black-framed round glasses, wiped them, put them back on and shouted, "And the three sisters of the Nine Snakes, you have nowhere to escape!"
Marigrud's face turned pale. This situation is not good! Sandasonia still looked remorseful and frowned.
"Are you sure? What does it have to do with these three?"
Lin Qi laughed hard, "And if I remember correctly... all of us here, whether it's Boa Hancock or my captain, are still members of the Shichibukai, right?"
"Since you--" Before Zhan Guo could finish his words, Hancock glared at Lynch angrily, "What do you mean by 'what does it matter'? Don't we have any relationship?!"
"Stop it." Lynch said.
Hancock's eyes were red, her nose was red, and tears were flashing in her eyes. She just stared at him without saying a word.
Lynch sighed, put his arms around Hancock's soft neck, and rested his forehead against hers.
"Okay," Lynch let go, holding Hancock in one hand and Robin in the other, and looked at the righteous Zhan Guo on the shore, "It is indeed related! I forgive you."
“……” Zhan Guo was speechless.
"..." Aokiji, who was on the frozen high wall behind, was wearing small round sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets, watching silently from afar.
Zhan Guo pushed up his glasses and said indifferently: "I think you should be very clear about the weight of the 'Devil's Son'. Knowing this, you still disguised your identity and even became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...
"You should have expected this day to come when you tease the World Government like this!"
Before Zhan Guo finished his words, he saw Hancock gritted her teeth, her pupils turned into dark golden vertical snake pupils, and glared at him.
Zhan Guo's eyes were like gold, and then his entire head, neck, and body soon turned into a golden Buddha. He said in a solemn and majestic voice, "Boa Hancock, your ability... is useless to me." Even if it could be useful, didn't he have any defense at all? Are you kidding!
Damn it...!! Hancock gritted her teeth secretly. Next to the golden Buddha, a golden light descended from the sky and Kizaru landed next to Sengoku. Hancock was unwilling to give up and glared at Kizaru again.
"Hmm?" Kizaru said lazily, "Beautiful lady, what are you doing?" He half-took off his brown sunglasses, and his eyes behind them were actually full of dancing light, without eyeballs in the ordinary sense.
"Your Eye of Medusa's petrifying ability—" The rolling magma flew from the top of the Crown Mountain and melted into Akainu's tall and mighty figure after landing. He crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "It's not very useful for the Nature type."
Hancock snorted, walked towards the shore on the ice, and shouted coldly: "It's just a fight, right? Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Robin supported Lynch, bowed his head in silence, closed his eyes in pain, and murmured to himself: "Hand me over..."
"Don't say that!" Marigrud shook her head. "Nine Snake warriors only die in battle, not beg for mercy."
"I don't want to be a warrior..." Robin said tremblingly, "I just don't want you to die because of me..."
Hancock stood alone on the ice in front, confronting Sengoku, Akainu, and Kizaru without flinching.
"..." Lynch rubbed Robin's head, "The timing is really perfect, Mr. Admiral. Is this a 'wise general'? Not only did he perfectly seize the opportunity when we just got out of Bankoi and were exhausted and haven't recovered yet, but the most powerful reinforcement, the Whitebeard Pirates, is also temporarily in Bankoi..." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Sengoku and others on the shore, "What's even more incredible is that in order to set up this kind of 'trap', you probably have to do it a day or even several days in advance, and hide it carefully before we get close so that we don't notice anything unusual... With your status in the navy, if you are not absolutely sure, would you carry out such a bizarre action so casually?"
"That is to say, you were extremely sure a few days ago that we would pass by here." Lin Qi stared straight at the golden Buddha-like Zhan Guo, "But how did you do that?"
Akainu sneered, "You're at the end of your rope. Are you starting to make excuses for your defeat? That's really ugly, pirate."
Lin Qi glanced at him and said, "It seems that you don't know either, Lieutenant General Red Dog."
"......?!" Akainu began to heat up. Kizaru beside him tilted his head and chuckled. Akainu ignored him and stared at Lynch dangerously with narrowed eyes, "You can only talk nonsense!"
Lin Qi didn't look at Akainu again, but stared at Sengoku, "It seems that only Buddha Sengoku knows something..."
“……” Zhan Guo fell silent.
…
[A few days ago——]
[After returning from the Holy Land, Marshal Kong Ganggu seemed a little absent-minded. He soon handed Zhan Guo a letter and gave him a top-secret mission.]
[“Please keep this thing and don’t open it now. Listen carefully, the next task I will assign to you…”]
【As he listened, Sengoku's eyes gradually widened, and he said in disbelief: "Gathering Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu? And including me? What...what on earth are they going to do?!"】
