Chapter 656: At this level, there is no more room for tricks (5,000 words)
[Chapter Header Serialization·Kami's Great Adventure 19·"Found Gold!"]
[The little mermaid Kami and the starfish Papagu dived into the seabed. It only took them half a day to find a golden stone buried under a large rock on the seabed... No, it was gold! Kami and Papagu moved over, and the latter quickly dug up the mud and sand underneath. Kami pulled out the gold from under the slippery stone with great effort...]——
[Zhan Guo's question made Marshal Kong a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhan Guo, this is an order, do you have any questions?"]
[“Of course I have doubts!” Sengoku argued, “Me plus Aokiji and the other three? What kind of mission requires such a large force? More importantly—”]
[He pressed the marshal's desk, stared at his boss's eyes, and growled, "Since there is such a serious operation, why was there no discussion?]
[“What kind of pirate force would gather the four of us? Is it Whitebeard? Big Mom? Or Kaido? Or some other big pirates?]
[“Then again, gathering the four of us in such a grand manner to deal with any of those sea overlords... this will inevitably escalate into a direct war! Even with the four of us, there is no way we can quickly end a large-scale war of this magnitude. If we can’t resolve it quickly, there is no guarantee that the other sea overlords will not get involved, and the situation will be even more out of control! Moreover, if our core combat forces leave and other pirates and ambitious people seize the opportunity to attack Marinford or even the holy land of Marijoa, the consequences will be even more unimaginable...]
[“Marshal, you should know better than anyone how huge and uncontrollable the risks of such an action are! You suddenly assigned me such a strange mission... Marshal Kong, can't I have questions?”]
[“Don’t even an admiral like me have the right to know?!” Zhan Guo spitted and was extremely excited. He shouted a lot, “Or—”]
[“That’s enough!” Marshal Kong could no longer bear it and interrupted Zhan Guo’s endless offensive. “Look at how red your face is! Do you still have the composure of a navy admiral? Your head is about to hit me in the face. Do you still have me as a marshal in your eyes?”]
[“…” Zhan Guo gasped for air and let out a long breath. His tone became much calmer, but he still stared at the Marshal, “I lost my temper. But, Marshal, you must tell me the truth, otherwise——”]
[He held the envelope Marshal Sora had just given him in his hand, "'You are allowed to open this note only after you gather Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu'. This kind of mission is just... I'm sorry, I really can't accept it."]
【“…” Marshal Kong was silent. 】
[Zhan Guo pretends to open the envelope... Sora sighs and raises his hand. Zhan Guo stops and stares at the Marshal.]
[Marshal Kong's chair turned - Zhan Guo immediately recognized that the Marshal was facing the direction of the Holy Land Mary Joa.]
[“Is it really a mission assigned directly by the Five Elders?” Zhan Guo asked in a deep voice, “Even if it is the Five Elders…”]
[“The target of this operation is the JOJO Pirates.” Marshal Kong turned around and looked at Sengoku. ]
[Zhan Guo was stunned when he heard this. He never expected this answer. After a while, his brows knitted unconsciously, "Don't be ridiculous! The JOJO Pirates only have two members, and they are both very powerful masters. Their mobility is far beyond ours! Can we deal with the two of them by assembling the four of us? We might as well go directly to Banko and the Big Mom Pirates to cause trouble - at least we are sure we can find them!"]
[Those two from the JOJO Pirates? Where can we catch them? ]
[According to the intelligence reported by the North Sea branch, the JOJO Pirates clearly have some kind of space base-type devil fruit ability. Sengoku spent time checking the devil fruit illustrations and is 80% sure that the JOJO Pirates possess the superhuman castle fruit, and it is very likely that they have given this fruit to the Den Den Mushi that has been following them! ]
[Those two people could have used the Moon Step to fly all over the sky, and they also had the Castle Fruit Den Den Mushi in their hands... Where can we catch these two guys? ]
[“So,” Marshal Kong stared at Zhan Guo seriously and said slowly, “This is the only chance to catch them! That’s all I can tell you.”]
[He raised his chin and pointed at the envelope that Zhan Guo unconsciously held in his hand, "Do you have any more questions, General Zhan Guo?"]
[Zhan Guo's face was solemn, and he fell into silence...]
…
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it!"
Lin Qi waved his hand. "After all, it has come to this point. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
He, Robin, Hancock, Marigold, and Sandasonia walked out of the ice, stepped onto the island, and walked slowly in a row towards the three top forces of the navy in front.
The golden Buddha and the great general of the Warring States Period.
Half of his body is covered in molten lava, the future admiral Akainu.
His eyes were flashing with golden light, and he seemed lazy, but he was staring at Lynch and others, who was also Kizaru, one of the future admirals.
"That's right..." Hancock's face was solemn, her long black hair turned into snake hair, her beautiful face became as charming as a snake demon, and a strong domineering aura flowed on her palms and feet. "Since it has come to this, we have no choice but to fight them!"
Sandasonia covered the frozen blood on her injured right shoulder and took a deep breath with a firm expression. Jade-like snake scales appeared on her face and a pair of broad snake wings spread out behind her - but there was a bloody hole on the right wing, and it looked weak and trembling when it spread its wings.
Marigrud growled and transformed into the strongest half-human, half-animal form, with strong muscles, like a half-human, half-snake warrior carved out of gold.
Robin's face was pale, almost transparent. She pursed her lips, raised her arms weakly, crossed them in front of her, and took a deep breath.
“…”
Zhan Guo's body expanded again, turning into a 20-meter-tall golden Buddha. He raised his giant hands and stared indifferently at the people in front of him, especially Lin Qi and Nico Robin beside him...
…
[“But is this really worth it?”]
[Before leaving, Zhan Guo suddenly stopped and turned back to ask this question.]
[“What?” Marshal Kong, who was sitting on the back of his chair, didn’t react for a moment.]
[Zhan Guo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "O'Hara was destroyed by the Demon Slayer Order after all! We have achieved our goal of shocking the world... In the past ten years, no historian has dared to break the law and follow O'Hara's example to touch that forbidden history. Even if Nicole Robin understands ancient texts, she can't do it alone. What can she do alone? In the past ten years, she didn't even dare to show her true face... Isn't that enough?"]
[“Zhan Guo, watch your words.” Marshal Kong’s expression turned cold.]
[“We clearly already had a consensus before,” Sengoku frowned, “We shouldn’t give up the powerful and harmless Seven Warlords of the Sea like the JoJo Pirates just for a frightened Nico Robin…”]
[“That was before the Five Elders gave the order, Sengoku.”]
[Kyperbone Sora had no expression on his face. In fact, he had already said something similar in front of the Five Elders when he was called to the Holy Land of Marijoa.]
[——Ohara has been destroyed, and Nico Robin is just a scared little mouse who dares not reveal her true face. Why should we give up such a powerful partner as the JOJO Pirates for this? ]
[——The Five Elders had less expression on their faces, their aura was colder, their eyes were more majestic, and they just shouted in a low voice: "This is an order, Sora. Are you, the Navy... going to disobey the will of the World Government?"]
[——"Don't forget who paid for your military expenses!" The long-bearded Five Elders sat on the sofa with his arms folded in a straight suit, and said indifferently to the indignant Cyborg Sora, "The Navy was established to consolidate the World Government, Admiral. Are you putting the cart before the horse?"]
[——Leaving the holy land, Kong Gu clenched his fists all the way, and finally had to loosen them helplessly. ]
[Pull back his thoughts, Gang Gu Kong stared at the slightly indignant Zhan Guo in front of him, and said indifferently: "...some words should not be said, so don't say them."]
[Zhan Guo fell into silence again.]
Marshal Kong said in a deep voice: "Go and carry out your mission! I and Garp will take care of the headquarters. Don't even think about slacking off, Zephyr."
[“I understand.” Zhan Guo turned around, threw on his justice coat, and walked out. ]
…
"What the hell!"
Just when the two sides were about to fight, Lynch suddenly waved his hands, creating a mirror in front of him. He opened his arms to embrace the stunned Hancock, Robin, Sanda and Mary, and ran directly into the other side of the mirror.
"Wow!" Sanda and Mary were caught off guard and fell into the mirror world.
"Where is this...?!" Even though Hancock fell, she was still graceful and breathtakingly beautiful.
Outside, Aokiji, who was falling from the frozen wall behind him, was in mid-air: "..."
"Want to run?!" Akainu snorted coldly.
"It's actually a wise choice..." Kizaru said staggeringly, his body deconstructing into light particles and emanating.
…
[“What exactly is the mission? General of the Warring States Period…”]
[Kizaru is the fastest. After receiving Sengoku's emergency call, he was the first to arrive.]
[If this were an ordinary operation, Kizaru would probably have taken a warship and slowly come here, but since Admiral Sengoku sounded serious on the phone, Kizaru did not dare to delay. Although he could fly in light, it was easy to fly over the station if he was not familiar with the route. Fortunately, with his speed of light and his observation Haki, he could predict the landing point and correct the location of the destination back and forth, so it would not take more than a few minutes at most.]
[“Just the three of us together is scary enough…” Kizaru still had that nonchalant look, but today he was a little more serious, “And now we have to add you, the Admiral. It’s really extra scary~~”]
[Sengoku ignored him and continued to use Den Den Mushi to contact Aokiji and Akainu who were in other Grand Line branches.]
…
Lin Qi and the others disappeared out of thin air, and then, the dark armored phantom grabbed the... mirror? !
The man in black armor grabbed the mirror and quickly soared into the sky, rushing towards the side of the tall frozen wall.
Aokiji landed on the ground and melted into the ice. The next second, at the top of the frozen high wall where "BIB" flew, frost and a human-shaped ice block emerged and condensed into Aokiji's body. He had a cold face and opened his hands to aim at the attacking black shadow. His whole body was wrapped in cold air...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"BIB" looked at Aokiji with his eyes gleaming, drew a broken line in the air, and soared into the sky.
In the sky, a vague human figure was emitting thousands of golden lights, and Kizaru's voice came from it: "A devil fruit with mirror power? However, do you think...
"What's the best at catching mirrors?"
BIB looked up. In the mirror in his hand, he saw Sanda and Mary, who were nervous, and Hancock and Robin, who were staring at the outside world... and Lynch. Through the mirror, he saw the golden light falling from the sky above his head.
The golden light spread and soon locked onto the mirror flying in the air.
No matter where "BIB" flies with the mirror, a golden light always follows the mirror.
Light particles flew close to the side of the black armor and gradually condensed into Kizaru's true body. He raised his foot and kicked over: "...It's light."
Bang! The mirror shattered, and Lin Qi and everyone escaped from the mirror world in time at the last moment.
Kizaru clapped his hands together, and when he pulled it out, a long sword shining with golden light came out from his palms, "Ame-no-Kurosakumo Sword."
Lynch, "BIB", Robin, and the three Hancock sisters swung their palms together and collided heavily with a huge golden sword that was cut down from high up!
…
[The newspaper burned, turned to ashes, and fell into the pile of pirate corpses...]
[Akainu and Aokiji followed Kizaru to where Sengoku was. Looking around, they didn't see many other marines. ]
[Aokiji was a little confused, but didn't say anything.]
[Akainu saw Sengoku take out an envelope with a serious look on his face, and opened it with a frown.]
[After opening it, Zhan Guo read it carefully, and soon his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, confusion, and extreme shock.]
[Akainu frowned and glanced at the letter in Sengoku's hand. The upside-down words were difficult to distinguish. He only saw words like "Crown Island" and "Capture"...]
…
The three Hancock sisters are now unable to fly, and Lynch and Robin are almost exhausted. Several of them fell from the air...
On the way, Lynch grabbed Xiaolu and tapped the four girls in turn, BIU, BIU, BIU, BIU.
Then he himself disappeared in mid-air with a BIU and entered the Den Den Mushi castle with them.
The man in black armor grabbed Xiaolu, changed direction, and flew again, trying to escape over the towering ice wall - but when he changed direction, an ice figure appeared again on the top of the frozen siege in front of him, and Aokiji blocked their way again.
Above his head, a large area of lava came again like a meteor shower, and the firelight illuminated the Den Den Mushi in BIB's hand.
"You can hide in that thing..."
Akainu sneered, "What about this little thing itself? Let's try...can it block my lava fruit?"
"BIB" flew in the air, with the blue-black domineering aura in his hand spreading and covering Xiaolu's body. He moved between balls of extremely hot lava. The magma rubbed against the Den Den Mushi in his hand. Even though Xiaolu was protected by the domineering aura, he couldn't help but reveal a look of pain.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Balls of molten rock fell onto the ice, and immediately hot steam rose up into the sky.
"If you think you can ignore the power of the devil fruit just because you have Haki..."
Akainu punched the ground, and half of the island coast and half of the ice land turned into molten lava. He also merged into the bright red molten lava. Then, a lava giant several tens of meters high rose up from the lava, with the lava constantly flowing down. Its scalding big hands grabbed the Den Den Mushi that was constantly dodging the falling lava in mid-air and the black armor phantom holding it. Akainu's low rumble came out of the lava giant's mouth, "...That's too naive!"
Little Green was stunned, showing an extremely terrified look. Behind the castle gate, Sanda and Mary, as well as Hancock and Robin, saw the "ten thousand feet" lava giant outside breaking through the thick hot steam and opening its huge hands dripping with magma to attack them, and their faces turned pale to some extent.
And looking back...
Lynch saw Aokiji swinging his hands and shooting several ice spears at the top of the towering frozen wall, and cooperated with Akainu to attack the panicked Den Den Mushi in mid-air.
Sure enough, at this level, any tricks seem powerless...
Lynch sighed and jumped out of the Den Den Mushi castle.
Bang! The molten lava and the frozen ice collided in mid-air, and steam burst out all over the sky.
…
[New World, Crown Island——]
[The deserted island was larger than what Lynch and his companions saw later. There were five peaks standing tall in the middle, as if a huge crown was sitting on the island, hence the name.]
[A golden light falls on one of the hilltops.]
[“Hehe, he really shouldn’t be underestimated…” Kizaru lifted up his brown sunglasses and read the newspaper leisurely, “Considering his age, such strength is really a bit scary~~”]
[“It’s time to get to work.” Akainu said with a straight face, “If they can get out of Wanguo alive…”]
[He and Aokiji, who was silent beside him, looked at Sengoku. Sengoku was even more silent than them, and ignored their gazes. He just nodded and said, "Let's get started."]
[The three reserve generals looked at each other.]
[Aokiji loosened his suit tie, walked to the edge of the island, squatted down, and pressed a finger on the ground... Crack, crack, in an instant, the ground around the island immediately turned into a completely frozen ground, and Aokiji's body turned into a pile of ice and rolled down, blending into the ice assimilated by his awakened power. Soon, when Aokiji was in place, Akainu followed the strategy arranged by Admiral Sengoku and punched out molten lava, quickly melting the surface of the ice where Aokiji awakened for dozens of meters, turning it into an ocean...]
[In just one meal, the area of Crown Island shrank by half due to the intervention of these two people.]
[“General Sengoku, are they really coming?” Kizaru glanced to the side. ]
【“…” Zhan Guo was silent, then quickly said, “You should also take your position, Borsalino.”】
[“Okay~~” Kizaru pouted, and the edges of his body turned into light particles. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a golden light and flew into the sky, hovering in the sky, overlooking the sea below. ]
[At the top of the mountain in the middle of the crown, Zhan Guo took out the opened envelope from his arms with an expressionless face...]
