Chapter 665 Demon Slayer Order (6700 words)
"I see. I guess it's because of Lin Qi that you did that..."
Xia Qi's blackmail bar, Robin and BIB kidnapped her in the Kingdom of Flowers, Lynch went to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms to fight the Charlotte family, a few days and nights later, the Whitebeard Pirates rushed to help them escape, and before they could come to their senses, they were ambushed and killed by Sengoku and his four companions. Rayleigh drank silently, listened quietly, put down the bottle, and sighed, "Sengoku, Sakaski, Kuzan, Borsalino... Hehe, in order to capture Lynch, they did not hesitate to let such a strong force come out in full force, leaving the headquarters with half the combat power. The navy really took a risk."
Xia Qi also listened quietly, holding a lit cigarette between her fingers, and asked: "Is your Nine Snake Pirate Ship being followed by the Navy? That's why they can accurately predict the route you left..."
"Maybe." Hancock nodded.
"What is it?" Sanda didn't think so. "Sister, we left Nine Snakes and sailed in the Calm Belt all the way, crossed the Red Earth Continent, and directly entered the New World. How could the Navy track our route?!"
Mary also said: "Yes! And if we meet Whitebeard and his men halfway and get on their ship, it will be even more impossible for the navy to know our whereabouts..."
"Is that so? That's very strange..." Xia Qi seemed to be thinking about something. "They sent four of the strongest fighters, including Admiral Sengoku, without regard for the safety of the Navy Headquarters, and asked them to quietly ambush on a deserted island where someone might come or might not... The Navy, no, the World Government, what on earth are they thinking?"
"If they were doing this for Robin, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths and let her escape like that." The stand-in stood with his arms folded, his narrow eyes gleaming with light, "They would rather let the son of the devil go than to catch the real one. -- They were after the real one from the beginning."
"..." Rayleigh drank silently, "They are determined to win, even if they are willing to use this level of combat power to deal with your original body."
Robin put down his glass and murmured, "It did work."
Xia Qi took a puff of cigarette, blew it towards the black armor, and said with a smile: "Only half of it, right?"
"If the World Government is determined to capture Brother Lynch, a partner of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, regardless of the risk..." The proprietress tapped the ash from her cigarette, "The only reason I can think of for this is this strange 'armored clone' of Brother Lynch."
"This is Brother Lin Qi's most unique ability, isn't it?" The beautiful retired female pirate, who was unknown how old she was today, smiled. "Fortunately, the Navy did not get what they wanted."
Hancock looked at her expressionlessly, "But we lost what we wanted."
"..." Rayleigh put down the bottle, looked up at the ceiling of the tavern, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "In the depths of Mary Geoise, there exists an immortal person."
Immortal?! Sanda and Mary were shocked, Hancock was moved, and even Xia Qi changed color.
Robin was the most surprised and suddenly turned his head to look at the black armor next to him.
In an instant, she thought of a lot...
The "prophecy" that Lynch had mentioned, whether true or false; the elephant lord they had seen in the New World - the punished Amatsuki Gumi! In a way, isn't Amatsuki Gumi like an immortal sinner? And, it was here that Marco came to take them across the Red Earth Continent to the New World, and the captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates said...
"Back then, before Roger was executed, he had a last drink with his father. It was also after that day that his father gave me a serious warning..."
"Never fly directly over Marijoa!"
Under Robin's gaze, "BIB" did not speak. Among the crowd, it reacted most calmly to Rayleigh's earth-shattering words.
His narrow eyes were gleaming with light as he looked indifferently at Rayleigh who raised the bottle and drank.
"That day, we arrived at the final island and learned all the secrets of the world..."
Rayleigh took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. The "we" he mentioned was obviously referring to the Roger Pirates, where he used to be, and his companions led by the Pirate King.
Pluto put on his glasses and continued drinking, "This is just my personal opinion. Of course, it's up to you whether you listen to it or not. In any case, don't go to Mary Geoise to find Lynch. Now is not the time yet. Wait a little longer! The day of world change has not come yet... at most ten or ten years. If the other party does not execute Lynch, then I think this kid will not be absent from the wave of the future era..."
"'Twenty years from now, there will be a huge change'..." Robin muttered to himself, closing his eyes tightly, "He said this when he advised me before..."
Rayleigh did not comment. Maybe Lynch had also heard of the prophecy somewhere, or maybe Shanks told him.
"BIB" looked at Pluto.
It seems that he is not as easy as in the comics to say "Want to know? I can tell you everything"...
That's right, Rayleigh is not a big mouth. It's impossible for him to tell the secret of the great treasure as long as someone asks. The reason why he almost told everything was either for the sake of the straw hat or for the sake of Luffy - just like Shanks said, "Mr. Rayleigh, do you know, I met a boy in the East China Sea, he is so similar to Captain Roger!"
"Ten years?" Hancock said expressionlessly, "Ten years is too long. I don't want to wait."
Rayleigh was speechless and did not try to persuade him. He asked, "You attacked the naval base but received no response, so you targeted the Celestial Dragons?"
"The Celestial Dragons don't often come to the Sabaody Archipelago to hang out... But it's okay to go and take a look." The old Pluto with long white hair shook his head, stood up, grabbed the coat hanging on the back of the chair, and casually put it on with a "swish". "Let's go, I'll lead the way!"
Hancock started walking. Sanda, Mary and the others quickly followed. Robin and "BIB" walked at the end and looked back at Shaqi.
"..." Xia Qi leaned over the bar, looked at them and asked, "Is this really okay? If we attack the Celestial Dragons like this, we will attract the admirals of the navy."
Rayleigh smiled at the door and turned back to say, "That's why I'm leading the way!"
After they left, Xia Qi burned out a cigarette, crushed it in the ashtray, and said to herself, "I'll go around and see if there's any useful information..."
…
"Are you the only family of three who likes to hang out in the Sabaody Archipelago?"
On the gray street of the Sabaody Archipelago, BIB asked speechlessly as he looked at the Celestial Dragons sitting proudly on the backs of three slaves.
Rayleigh said: "Look at the bubble above their heads... and you will know where the Celestial Dragons like to stay."
Even when going out, they have to wear bubble masks to show that they, the "descendants of God", disdain to breathe the same air as "mortals". It is conceivable that most celestial dragons disdain to "tread on the dust" and think that the land where "mortals" gather is too dirty. In fact, they usually stay in the city of the holy land of Marijoa - what do they want that is not available in the holy land? Who can be missing from the specialties of the four seas and the treasures of the Grand Line? Why leave the holy land when all nations come to pay tribute?
Hancock said: "It seems that we are very lucky."
Having said that, she walked out, and amid the amazed salivating sounds and sea of rosy eyes from the crowd around her, she stood in front of the three celestial dragons with an expressionless face.
Everyone was so intoxicated by the beauty of the Pirate Queen that they didn't even have time to think about the fact that she was no longer one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They couldn't even remember that she attacked the naval base before... But even if they remembered, who could blame her now that she was so beautiful? "Who are you?" Charlos almost drooled, "So beautiful..."
The saliva froze into stone before it even dripped.
His father Rozward and sister Xia Lulia beside him both had the same amorous expressions, and both ended up being petrified and frozen.
Also petrified were many people around with hearts in their eyes... Once Hancock's Medusa eyes are activated, anyone who dares to look at them will be petrified. This is an indiscriminate attack.
On the contrary, the slaves under the three celestial dragons had become extremely numb to everything and their reactions were a little slow. Before they could even look at Hancock, she had already retracted the power of the Eye of Medusa and escaped.
When they and some of the survivors around them discovered that the three Tianlong people had turned into three stone sculptures...
The crowd was frightened to death almost instantly. Many people didn't even dare to shout out in shock, for fear that they would be implicated. They just ran away, crawling and stumbling.
"Are you still carrying these three stone men?"
When the three slaves heard the voice, they immediately put down the stone sculptures of the Celestial Dragons on their backs.
"Wait!" Sanda and Mary called out to them again. The three of them froze. "Let me borrow your blood..." Then they heaved a sigh of relief and took the initiative to cut a cut on their arm, with blood dripping out.
Sanda and Mary were busy writing bloody words on the stone sculptures of the three Celestial Dragons. Rayleigh took advantage of this opportunity to reach out and take off the explosive collars from the necks of the three slaves. He grabbed, squeezed, and threw them with lightning speed. Bang, bang, bang, the three collars were thrown into the air and exploded at the same time. The three slaves were startled and shed tears in confusion. "Let's go." Rayleigh waved his hand. He was just warming up.
after all……
"Pluto, Silverbaz Rayleigh." A majestic voice came from far behind, followed by a strong sense of oppression, "Why is it you again?"
...Some troublesome people will come over.
Rayleigh drew out the long sword from his waist, turned around and looked back. The person who came was indeed the burly navy admiral Zephyr with short purple hair.
Rayleigh smiled and said, "Same here. Why is it always you?"
Zephyr glanced coldly at Nico Robin, the three Boa sisters, and the dark shadow... Finally, his eyes fell on Pluto. He rubbed his fists as big as casserole pots and grinned, "Who said that a semi-retired old guy like me has the most free time?"
"Oh?" Rayleigh also exuded a strong aura, "You don't even look at these three noble Celestial Dragons?"
"Humph!" Zefa's fist ignited with domineering power, and he rushed towards Rayleigh, "Three dead idiots, what's there to see! Come on, Pluto!!"
"Haha!" Rayleigh laughed and raised his sword to meet the attack.
BANG!!!! The sword and the fist collided in the air, and the astonishing domineering aura collided fiercely and soared into the sky...
…
A battle between Pluto and Black Arm was raging on the Sabaody Archipelago, but Xia Qi approached the battle circle quietly.
"It's really exaggerated..."
The former female pirate held a cigarette in her mouth as she looked at the two fiercely fighting domineering men not too far away in front of her, "I thought this guy had grown old, but I didn't expect him to be as scary as he was back then..."
Xia Qi didn't stay long and left soon.
But she didn't go too far. She found an abandoned tree house in a deserted area and waited quietly for a while.
Sure enough, the sound of the battle over there faded away, and after a while, the Den Den Mushi that blended into the environment crawled in from the shabby wooden window, and "BIB", Hancock, Robin, Rayleigh, Sanda, and Mary flew out.
"Xia Qi, is there something wrong?" Rayleigh put away his sword. If there was nothing wrong, Xia Qi would not have deliberately wandered around the edge of the battlefield just now.
Of course, he was fighting fiercely with Zefa at that time. It was BIB and the others who discovered Xia Qi and gave Rayleigh a look. Rayleigh then gave up the fight and found an opportunity to escape.
Xia Qi flicked the ash from her cigarette. "Don't you find it strange? The Celestial Dragons are in trouble, the generals have all been dispatched, and they have been fighting you for so long, but there is no sign of marines being mobilized on Sabaody Island..."
"......?!" Robin's heart tightened and he had a bad feeling.
Hancock frowned slightly, and Xia Qi pointed in the direction of the Calm Belt, "The Navy is mobilizing warships on a large scale... I heard there are a full twenty ships, and ten vice admirals from the headquarters have been dispatched..."
"Huh?" Sanda and Mary didn't react for a moment. "So what? Can a warship enter the doldrums?"
Robin's eyes turned pale, his fingertips were cold, and he murmured, "Demon Slayer Order..."
Ten warships, five lieutenant generals, covering fire strikes, and targeted destruction. This is the Demon-Slaying Order, also known as an emergency call.
That’s how O’Hara was destroyed, everything was annihilated in the sea of fire…
And now there are twenty warships and ten lieutenant generals?
Double the Demon Killing Order?!
Hancock deadpanned.
"The Celestial Dragons have been petrified. All we have to do now is wait for the World Government's response." "BIB" immediately said, "Let's go back to Nine Snakes now, Hancock."
After taking a look at it, Hancock nodded slowly.
…
Looking at the green-scaled snake spreading its wings and flying away, Xia Qi flicked the cigarette tail away, "I thought you would directly persuade them not to cause trouble for the Tianlong people."
"Can you persuade him?" Rayleigh asked.
Xia Qi smiled and said, "I guess not."
"Let's go!" Rayleigh left, "It's better to stay out of the spotlight for now and get some quiet time..."
～～～～～～～～～～～ 『What’s wrong with you? 』
Inside Den Den Mushi's castle, "BIB" looks at Robin.
Hancock and Mary looked over as well.
"'Could it be that Hancock girl is thinking about me?'..." Robin muttered to himself and looked at 'BIB', "Do you remember when you said this?"
No one was in the mood to be funny right now, so Hancock and Mary didn't react. They just stared at the black armor, wondering why Robin suddenly brought up this sentence.
As long as Lynch and his double have experienced it, "BIB" will not forget any details.
Robin asked this question even though he knew the answer.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"BIB" said slowly: "It was on that day when we followed Marco across the Red Earth Continent..."
Hancock's expression changed slightly as she remembered what Rayleigh had said before, about the immortal being in the depths of Marijoa.
"As soon as we flew over the Red Earth Continent, you looked a little uneasy..." Robin recalled, "Looking back in the direction of the Red Earth Continent, your face looked a little solemn. I asked you what was wrong, but you didn't tell me. You just interrupted and asked if Hancock was thinking about you..."
If it was Hancock who was talking about Lynch, why did Lynch suddenly look so solemn, as if he was being stared at by something scary? But Lynch didn't say anything at that time, so Robin didn't ask any more questions.
"Think about it now..." Robin murmured, "Did you realize at that time that immortal being that Rayleigh mentioned? That person was targeting you at that time..."
BIB did not answer.
In fact, it was not just the main body that also felt a hint of uneasiness.
but……
If they knew nothing, they might be extremely concerned about the feeling of being targeted at that time.
But it was precisely because, as time travelers, they knew very well that there lived a "big boss" named Im in the holy land of Mary Joa, so they were not too entangled.
"But..." Marigrud asked curiously, "Didn't you go to Marinford before? If they had targeted Lynch before the day he became a Seven Warlords of the Sea, why didn't they..."
Hancock sneered, "The Navy Headquarters is full of their own marines. Would they be willing to start a war there?"
"If we evacuate the residents of Marinford in advance," Robin said, "it would actually remind us not to go..."
Everyone was silent. Not long after, Sanda's voice was heard faintly from outside the castle:
"Sister! I saw the warships! They really entered the doldrums..."
…
"Why are there only ten?"
The three of them jumped out of the Den Den Mushi castle, landed on the back of Sanda's broad flying snake, and looked down at the calm sea in the distance below.
Ten warships were arranged in a cone shape and sailed towards Nine Snake Island.
Mary said depressedly: "How did their warships sail in the doldrums without being attacked by giant sea kings?"
Robin said: "Maybe seastone is installed on the bottom of the ship... Seastone has the breath of the sea, maybe it will make the sea kings unable to recognize the warship..."
Sanda worriedly said, "Could the other ten ships already be in Nine Snakes? I hope everyone on the island is okay..."
Hancock had nothing to say. She bent her bow and drew her arrows. Three arrows, filled with a strong sense of arrogance, were shot out brazenly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three sharp arrows pierced the air, almost sparking fire, and attacked the three warships at the top of the endless sea that was as calm as a mirror.
Just at this moment, three arrows were shot into the sky from the location of the warship array.
Ice arrow!
"Aokiji is here too..." "BIB" watched the three ice arrows being shattered in mid-air by Hancock's three domineering arrows, "He's here too... But, I didn't sense Kizaru."
It seems that in the end, the original body also followed the thinking in that battle. Even if it was impossible to do anything, he had to keep an eye on Kizaru.
Kizaru's mobility is too strong, so his legs must be broken.
Even if I can't break his legs, I have to beat him to the point where he has an excuse to take a sick leave and rest...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Hancock's three arrows shattered the ice arrows, and their momentum was slightly slowed, but they still flew towards the warships on the sea.
A huge golden Buddha rose from the top deck of the warship and slapped the sky with his palms. Bang, bang, bang! The huge palm force shock wave broke Hancock's three arrows in mid-air.
Zhan Guo stared indifferently at the flying snake in the sky and the several people on its back.
"The generals have all gone out..." "BIB" was speechless, "Can this still be called the Demon Slaughter Order? Just call it the God Slaughter Order..."
Think about it in the comics, after the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was abolished, the person the Navy sent to declare war on Nine Snake Island was just Coby, the major admiral from the headquarters who was promoted at rocket speed... The difference in treatment was too big.
"Go back to Nine Snakes first." Hancock urged Sanda under his feet with an expressionless face.
"Got it!" Sanda responded and flapped his wings to speed up.
Robin looked down. Seeing them going away, Sengoku also retracted his golden Buddha form. "The admiral must be in the front row, which means that the ten ships below are already the vanguard... No warships have reached the Nine Snakes yet."
But where are the other ten warships now? ～～～～～～～～～～～ The other ten warships are now blocked by a pirate ship at the edge of the doldrums...
Akainu's face was livid. He stood in front of the warship and looked coldly at the red-haired man standing on the dragon bow of the pirate ship in front of him. "Shanks...what do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?"
His fellow pirates were lined up behind him, including the deputy captain Ben Beckman, who was smoking and holding a knife, the fat man Lachi Lu, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, and Jesus Bu, who was loading bullets into his musket. Shanks scratched his head, looked at the ten warships lined up in front of him and smiled slightly. The domineering aura like a raging sea swept across him, forming a substantial impact and stirring up huge waves.
"what happened?!"
"Wow!"
The waves were rising and falling, the warship was shaking and pitching, the marines were screaming, and many weak marines were foaming at the mouth and fainted on the deck, only to be quickly pulled up by their companions...
Shanks slowly drew out the famous sword Griffin from his waist and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just want you to give me some face and stop moving forward. How about it?"
Akainu snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Fire!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Fire!”
Sengoku waved his hands and yelled.
On the adjacent warship, Aokiji also looked at the Women's Country Nine Snake Island in front of him and said calmly: "Fire."
"yes!"
On the ten warships in a row, the marines had already loaded their ammunition and were ready. When they heard the order, they ignited their guns. BANG BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! ...
Nine Snake Island, Robin looked up, her breathing almost cut off, the fear hidden in her heart surfaced, and once again bared its fangs to mock her, this is your destiny, your sin, your retribution.
You think you can get away with this? "Archery."
Hancock waved his hand and gave the order expressionlessly.
"yes!"
Around them and behind them stood the women from all over Nine Snake Island, all of them with their snake bows bent and wooden arrows ready for battle.
This country, young and old, are all qualified Amazon warriors.
At Snake Queen's command, everyone released their taut bowstrings and shot out arrows wrapped with domineering power at high speed.
Whoosh who ...
Arrows as dense as stars leaped out behind Robin, and under her gaze, they flew forward towards the artillery fire pressing down from the sea ahead... Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, each wooden arrow wrapped in domineering aura collided with a cannonball with extreme precision, destroying it and exploding a ball of fire in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with endless balls of fire.
The firelight danced in Robin's dark green eyes, and she was speechless for a moment.
The women of Nine Snakes laughed and joked loudly, not caring whether the sailors could hear them or not: "What beautiful fireworks! Thank you, sailors! Hehehe..."
Hancock's face was not relieved. The artillery fire was not worth mentioning. Admirals Sengoku and Aokiji were the most annoying...
Zhan Guo's face turned pale.
"Is this true?" "Am I seeing things?" "That was the rain of artillery fire from the Demon Slayer Order!!"
He could hear the disbelieving voices of the marines around him, and he immediately shouted, "What are you waiting for? Get ready, second round of fire!"
"yes!!"
The marines did not dare to delay, but were loading ammunition. Suddenly, a marine looked at the sea in the distance and asked curiously, "Huh? What is that, a small boat?"
The companion next to him was speechless: "How is it possible! This is a doldrums zone, how could there be a... small... boat... huh?!"
As he spoke, his eyes widened. I saw a small boat slowly drifting towards me from a distance, and there even seemed to be a tall figure standing on the boat!
The figure had long fluttering hair and seemed to be holding something in his hand, pointing it towards them.
Aokiji also noticed that person, his expression changed, "Be careful!!"
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An arrow shot out, breaking through the air and splitting the sea surface, leaving behind a trail of black aura as dark as a ribbon, unstoppable!
In the blink of an eye, the arrow went off with a loud bang and shot directly through a warship.
Boom! ! The warship exploded and slowly sank...
