Chapter 187: Camp War Day 6 Goodbye, Old Mai! I'll come find you...
Faction War Day 6:
Wendy saw two unfamiliar figures, a man and a woman. The man was wearing a Celestial Dragon hood. His uniform looked like the same one worn by Shamrock, who had come to visit her earlier.
These two people are from the Knights of God. They had guessed that Wendy would appear here a long time ago, so they were lurking here on purpose, waiting for her to appear at this moment.
This sudden change made Crocodile stunned for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the two people who suddenly appeared - this ability to suddenly appear by relying on a strange magic circle... he had only seen it in Wendy Carter.
And if these two people are Celestial Dragons... Come to think of it, Doflamingo was also defeated. Logically, he should be imprisoned on the sixth floor, but he is not here... Is he deeper there?
He noticed that the navy's security over there was even tighter, as if they were preparing for something... What secret did they know? Was this secret related to Wendy Carter?
While Crocodile was thinking, Wendy looked at the two who had appeared. She blinked, her expression blank for a moment, then suddenly realized - main storyline monsters, right? Really, they were different from the previous Shadow Five gays, making her not recognize them at first.
"Wendy Carter, you finally showed up! We've been waiting for you for a long time. Lord Yim specifically ordered us... What are you doing? Listen to human language!"
The other party was furious for a reason - because Wendy didn't listen to him at all, but was busy changing her clothes, wearing a cape and sunglasses, and was very busy.
But he didn't need to explain, because Wendy had already raised her head, and suddenly rushed over at super speed, knocking him down with one blow. She even rushed all the way and crashed into the railing because she didn't brake.
Crocodile, who was trapped inside, reached out his hand speechlessly and blocked his head with his palm, preventing Wendy from hitting the railing with her face.
"Is it Kizaru's ability?" Crocodile stared at the sunglasses on the other party and frowned, his voice rising at the end, using a speculative tone. In fact, he was almost certain in his heart - he also observed Wendy Carter for a long time when he was on the Abigail, and he had some knowledge of the other party's abilities.
Even in his opinion, giving this ability to Wendy is a waste of talent - if you have this ability, go and recruit the Four Emperors to gain their abilities! Then recruit the Four Emperors' subordinates who have useful abilities! By then, you will not only be the Pirate King, but the King of the World! All you do every day is cultivate that piece of useless land!
After a stumble, Wendy stood firm, shook her head, and politely thanked Crocodile.
The person who fell to the ground did not leave the scene. Instead, he transformed into a Qilin beast after being shrouded in black mist: "Wendy Carter... you really do have magical powers... but it's useless! I can be resurrected infinitely!"
"Wendy! Be careful!" The big bear who was trapped in the prison and unable to move shouted anxiously, trying to use brute force to break free from the seastone bracelet that trapped him, but to no avail.
Behind Wendy, a strip with an arrow-shaped end approached quickly and hit Wendy directly - it was another member of the Knights of God.
Wendy was hit by the arrow, but she was unharmed - only the durability of the Big Mom cape she was wearing dropped by 20%, and the arrow bound her and entangled her tightly.
Wendy watched the durability of her cloak drop continuously. After thinking for a while, she quickly put away the cloak and died.
Anyway, after she was resurrected, her health was always at 50 points, and there was no recovery. It didn't matter how many times she died - because the two upper floors were one cold and one hot, corpses fell as she walked along, randomly scaring the jailers and criminals nearby to death.
"...Dead?" The member of the Divine Riders who had tied up Wendy with strips of arrows was stunned for a moment. The lower half of her face was tied up with bandages, and her eyes, which were pressed by the hat, showed some confusion, as if she didn't understand why this happened.
However, it did not prevent her from continuing to tie up the corpse and break it into pieces... although only two bone fragments appeared after the breakage, which was puzzling.
"Really? Is it that easy to solve?" Qilin, standing nearby, widened his eyes in surprise. However, he quickly accepted the reality and turned to look at the people in the prison. "Next... Junzi Palace, what should we do with those who saw this? Even though they can't escape..."
"Then kill them all." Junzi said coldly.
But before she could clear the area, she heard the sound of clattering coming closer.
The arrow that was originally ready to reap life was retracted. Junzi looked towards the place where the sound came from. Wendy walked out from the darkness unharmed, her expression unchanged... Then she suddenly accelerated and rushed over. The Tianlong man who transformed into a Qilin fell directly to the ground without even a wailing sound, and turned into a corpse.
"Huh... thankfully, the cooldown on my one-hit kill ability is reset after I die." Wendy wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, sighed, adjusted her sunglasses, and looked at Junzi, who was staring at her with wide eyes. "Now you're the only one left..."
She didn't look murderous at all, but Junzi subconsciously took a step back, and felt his scalp tingling at that moment.
The Knights of God are immortal, having been granted immortality by the power of Lord Im... But Wendy Carter can truly kill the immortal! It's as if... it's a force of absolute restraint!
At that moment, Junzi felt that there was only one thought left in his mind - run away!
Wendy didn't rush over immediately. She seemed to be interested in other things around her. She turned her head and shouted to the blue fishman in the prison nearby, "Ah, Jinbei Jinbei, you're here too."
Wendy knew Jinbe because after she and Whitebeard formed an alliance to protect Fishman Island, Jinbe came to thank her and brought the local specialty takoyaki. At that time, Wendy couldn't find a fork or toothpick, so she just ate with the cross knife given by Hawkeye on her neck.
"Ms. Wendy, long time no see..." Jinbei felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He didn't expect Wendy to suddenly start chatting with her at this time. "But now is not the time to chat. Please pay attention to the enemy in front of you--"
Crocodile on the other side also spoke up: "Hey, Wendy Carter, these enemies are coming for you, right? At a time like this, you have to free your own people first. Since you're here to rescue the bear, you must have got the key beforehand, right? Throw it over."
Wendy blinked and looked at him in confusion: "But Kroc, don't you want me to save you?"
"...That's what I said! But in the current situation, after they kill you, they will definitely kill all of us or take us hostage. Of course I have to save myself! Do you understand?!" Crocodile felt angry again.
Wendy frowned, unhappy: "Of course I understand, I'm so smart!"
"..." Crocodile felt the long-lost anger rising again, but after those tortures that made him want to kill, his threshold has now increased a lot. He can even remain relatively calm at this time. He responded, "Yes, you are the smartest. Give me the key and I will help you release Kuma and Jinbe."
Wendy suddenly realized: "Oh, if you want to help me, just tell me, Kroc."
Crocodile: "..." Shut up! You're so infuriating!
Wendy chatted not because she suddenly stopped fighting, but because the cooldown time of the one-hit kill was 5 minutes, and she knew that Abigail could not kill the enemy in front of her instantly.
After her inexplicable behavior of chatting in the middle of the battle, Junzi gradually calmed down and didn't know what to do for a moment.
[Junzi, what are you dawdling about——]
[Lord Yimu... I don't know if I should continue... Wendy Carter seems unkillable...]
[In that case, let me do it——]
Junzi's body changed. His hair grew longer, and he grew bat-shaped wings and an arrow-shaped devil tail. He held a trident in his hand, and his whole aura changed.
Wendy blinked, looked at the person in front of her, and tilted her head - another boss? But it's a little hard to catch when it flies... I think I still need a flying mount... Hey, why hasn't Bonnie grown up yet?
"That guy... Wendy Carter, what's going on?" Crocodile didn't sit there idly after getting the key. He quickly escaped and released Kuma and Jinbe - it's not that he is very trustworthy, but if he wants to escape from this prison, the success rate will be higher with two more people.
Big Bear stood next to Wendy, appearing to be protecting her. "The aura has changed..."
Jinbei was the most confused one. He only knew how he got in, and he didn't understand any of the subsequent developments - from Wendy's death and resurrection, to the appearance and death of the Celestial Dragons, and the sudden change in the woman in front of him.
Wendy was about to say this was the boss when the woman who flew up from the opposite side spoke: "Wendy Carter, what do you want?"
Wendy immediately responded, "I'm going to rescue my uncle who's trapped on the throne."
The person on the other side was strangely silent for a moment, then replied, "Mum is not trapped, and does not need to be rescued by you."
As for her uncle... Seeing the other party dying and being able to completely kill her subordinates has made her a little confused now. Let's wait and see.
"Oh, Old Mac! Are you possessing someone else?" Wendy's eyes lit up and she said firmly, "The fact that you're possessed means you've been corrupted by the power of the shadows. Just wait, I'll definitely come and save you!"
"It's not erosion, but this is the power I gained myself."
"I know. You chased after the power of shadows, but you couldn't control it. It eroded you and you were captured on the Nightmare Throne. You've been controlled by the shadows," Wendy said with a firm, earnest tone. "Don't worry, I'll get you out, Old Mac."
"...Mum is not Old Mac."
"I know, I know. Your name is Im Carter now. You used to be Maxwell Carter, and originally William Carter." Wendy nodded in confirmation as she spoke. "Don't worry! I'll be there soon!"
It seemed that he had discovered that this person's explanation was completely inconsistent, or perhaps some of what the other person said matched his own, causing him to be a little confused. Im, who was possessed by Junzi, no longer refuted or attacked, but left a message: "In that case, you should come to Mary Geoise alone to find Im, Wendy Carter."
After she finished speaking, she was enveloped by black flames, a pentagram formation appeared under her feet, and her figure disappeared.
Wendy was still waving and shouting happily, saying in a very cute voice, "Goodbye, Old Mac! I'll come find you!"
The three remaining escapees looked at each other, each seeing shock on their faces. What was going on? Who was Wendy Carter? Was Old Mac the uncle Wendy was trying to save? Why was he a woman? What about possession and shadow powers?
"Hey, Wendy Carter, what are you..." Crocodile's expression became complicated, and many complicated inferences flashed through his mind, but when Wendy turned her head and looked at him with an ignorant look, with a clear light in her eyes, most of them disappeared.
——No matter how complicated the inside story is, Wendy Carter herself must have a simple mind!
He stopped asking questions, and Wendy went to find Moonlight Moriah again - the other party was not even on the sixth floor, but on the fifth floor.
Not only was Moriah, who had been released, bewildered, but Crocodile beside him also frowned: "What are you doing? Are you trying to subdue all the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Aren't you going to release Doflamingo later?"
"Huh? Dover is here too?" Wendy looked surprised, then shook her head. "Not Dover. I'm done with him. I saved Moony because Little Fright told me to save her boss."
"Little scare... Is that Perona?" Moriah pricked up his teeth. "Thank you very much, Wendy Carter... No matter what, I owe you a favor. If you need my help, I can help you."
"Yeah, I'll need your help later." Wendy said, taking out the teleportation wand. "Okay! Let's go!"

At the same time, on the other side, at the Navy Headquarters——
Marshal Akainu looked stunned: "Tell me, what happened again?"
"Oh no! Marshal! Wendy Carter sneaked into Impel Down and took away Crocodile, Kuma, and Sea Knight Jinbei... Oh, yes, there's also Gekko Moriah."
Akainu closed his eyes. How should I put it? He wasn't that surprised. After all, Crocodile and Kuma were both her subordinates, and Jinbe was close to Whitebeard, and the Whitebeard Pirates were currently her allies. The Shichibukai system was essentially dead! Although he didn't understand what Moriah was doing.
"What's the situation at sea in the New World?" Akainu asked.
"Kaido leads the Beasts Pirates to fight, and the Big Mom Pirates have also set off. It seems that they are joining forces with each other... They are facing the Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates..." The voice of the navy who was speaking became smaller and smaller.
This is truly a battle between the Four Emperors, a 2V2 battle of equal strength, and its scale can be said to be the largest war in the New World.
"…Announce it and abolish the Seven Warlords system! All the Seven Warlords will be put on the wanted list again!" Akainu ordered.
"Yes...but Marshal, Blackbeard said he wants to use Straw Hat Boy to exchange for a position as a Shichibukai..."
"That's not necessary!" Akainu, always with an iron fist, rejected the idea outright. "The Navy will catch the Straw Hat Kid themselves! Pirates are pirates, not worth cooperating with! Call the Navy and coordinate our response—after the Four Emperors' War in the New World is over, that will be the day we begin our war!"

Author's words: Lao Sha: From hard work to giving up.jpg [Pigeon]
The Shichibukai policy is the same as the appeasement policy in my opinion... To be honest, if there was no connivance from the navy in the early days, Blackbeard would not have been able to develop so quickly (.)
PS: My estimate was wrong, the clothes-changing scene will be in the next chapter. I originally wanted to update this twice a week, but I missed the deadline... I'll just post it at 4,000 words!
