Chapter 112: Decisive Battle (Eleven) [VIP]
"York—you traitor!"
With the roar of the accelerating car, the Vegapunk team searching for the traitor York finally found their target.
Atlas's angry voice reached York's ears.
In the sky, the moment he saw York's figure, Stussy flew out of the car, stepped on the air and accelerated towards York.
York's face changed, and he cursed in his heart while raising the weapon in his hand.
While firing frantically, she urged loudly, "Attack now! Attack now! They're chasing us - if anything happens to me, you'll never get the ancient weapon!!!"
Stussy, who clearly heard her voice, frowned. As he dodged the bullets and approached the target, he became more alert.
Are 'you' the civilians controlled by Yale?
No! Although her understanding of Yale was close to zero, she had heard Atlas and Lilith discuss many possibilities of York's betrayal on the way to find York.
The last thing York would do is to go to Yale with ancient weapons.
Ancient weapons are indeed tempting to the people on their planet, but to Yale, they are just toys that can be discarded at will.
Just as Stussy was thinking this, a strong sense of crisis instantly swept over his body.
The next second, a powerful and domineering slash came fiercely. Stussy didn't even have time to react before he was slashed through and his eyes fell into darkness.
“Stussie—!!!”
Lilith and Atlas watched the scene in despair.
Stussy fell heavily to the ground, his eyes still wide open, as if he was terrified and unwilling.
Atlas was extremely angry and glared at York with hatred, but his eyes widened the next second.
Around York, a few people who looked disheveled but familiar appeared without him noticing.
Behind these people, cracked black lines spread and collapsed in all directions with a deep crack in the sky as the center.
“…Warp? You are the Knights of God…” She understood everything and recognized those familiar people.
"York—how could you cooperate with the Celestial Dragons!!! You know exactly what kind of people they are!"
York didn't feel sad at all about Stussy's death. In response to Atlas' questioning, he even showed a smug smile.
"I only know that they can bring me endless wealth and supreme status!"
Although the current situation is somewhat different from her plan.
She originally wanted to wait until Vegapunk activated the nuclear bomber before letting the Celestial Dragons appear.
Only when everyone is awake and the Celestial Dragons appear and defeat Yale, will it be possible to return to the Holy Land smoothly in the future.
Unfortunately, plans changed and she didn't expect Stussy to show up.
It was probably Stussy's sudden appearance that caused Vegapunk to discover her disappearance in advance, so she had to let the Celestial Dragons break the subspace in advance in order to save her life.
"Kill them first. We need to leave the islands and make long-term plans!"
York commanded the people around him without hesitation.
She now has ancient weapons with her, so they can only obey her orders.
Atlas and Lilith raised their bubble guns and stood ready.
However, at this moment, the communicator on Lilith's body received a communication from Vegapunk.
"Lilith, carry out our previous plan!"
"Execute the previous plan!!!"
Vegapunk's voice sounded extremely urgent, and the background noise was noisy as if a fight was going on.
There is indeed a fight going on, but it is one-sided.
At the last moment of the production of the nuclear bomb machine, a group of controlled researchers broke into the institute in a dramatic way.
Shakya, Edison and Pythagoras went there one after another to delay time, while Vegapunk continued to add the final fuel to the nuclear bomber.
He felt a little regretful. He should have added more combat elements when creating the clone.
But it was too late to regret now. Vegapunk knew very well that they could no longer escape.
How could there be such a coincidence that those people came at this time instead of earlier or later?
This is the fate that Yale has arranged for them - want to activate the nuclear bomb? Okay, but it will cost you your lives. Do you dare to sacrifice your lives?
Do you dare?
Looking at the crude nuclear bomb machine in front of him, Vegapunk pressed the only button without hesitation.
"Don't underestimate us..." He felt inexplicably relieved.
Although their civilization has its ignorant, backward, crazy and extreme sides, it is never lacking in shining points that make people love it.
O'Hara scholar who was willing to sacrifice himself to protect history and knowledge, Tiger who climbed the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands to free slaves, and Bear who was willing to transform himself into a humanoid weapon to cure his daughter's illness...
Life is not just a specimen in data, but a future that can blossom with countless possibilities in desperate situations!

"My lord?"
"My lord?!"
Lilith asked hurriedly, but the next second, a loud explosion came not only from the communicator, but also from the distant Future Island.
The earth was shaking, and invisible shock waves accompanied by a mushroom cloud rising in the distance showed what had just happened.
When Lilith woke up again, she was trapped under some fallen trees.
Whether it was Atlas, the Knights of God, or York, they had all disappeared without a trace.
She moved the tree with great difficulty, stood up reluctantly and began to identify the direction.
The shock wave produced by the nuclear explosion was so strong that all of them who were close to it were blown away by the shock wave.
This is a good thing. After all, if there was no shock wave, she would definitely die at the hands of the Knights of God.
But this is not a good thing. According to their original plan, after making the nuclear bomber, they would reserve a few minutes of evacuation time and immediately set off for the World Economic News headquarters.
The Den Den Mushi there can communicate with the entire island, and they need to use the Den Den Mushi there to make everyone stop fighting.
If the explosion of the nuclear bomber went according to plan, I should have let them continue to track York instead of hastily changing the itinerary.
Due to interference from electronic devices, all the high-tech equipment on her body stopped working.
Lilith looked up at the sky in despair. She couldn't even tell where she was at the moment. How could she get to the Rare Beast Island to complete her plan?
Just when Lilith was in despair, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from the air.
This 'wind sound' was not ordinary wind, but the sound of someone blowing on a microphone to test whether the loudspeaker was working properly.
She was stunned for a moment, and then a ray of infinite hope bloomed in her.
Who is it?! Could it be Atlas? She woke up earlier than her and has already arrived at the Island of Precious Beasts?!
"Hello! Hello! Can you hear...me?"
The fire of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished by cold water.
Lilith could tell that this was not Atlas' voice, but... strange, a little familiar, but she couldn't think of who it was.
“My fellow countrymen all over the world!!!”
The voice trembled a little nervously.
Lilith opened her eyes wide, and a funny face suddenly appeared in her mind.
—Bucky?!
How could it be him, the team leader who salvaged the underwater ruins?!
How could it be him?
Bucky actually wanted to know this question too.
His original plan was to come to the World Economic Newspaper headquarters on Zhenshou Island and have Uta broadcast the news live to the entire island.
After all, when they were with Ace, Sabo and the others, their plan was to rely on Uta's singing diva charm to wake everyone up.
But after arriving at the Rare Beast Island, they encountered that man!
That’s right, it’s the culprit, Yale, who has the red hair that Bucky hates the most.
The other party was standing at the door of the World Economic Daily, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.
At that moment, Baki bravely stood in front of Uta and decided to delay the other party by himself so that Uta could connect to the live broadcast as soon as possible.
But Uta did not agree, and her reasons were very good.
She has the power of a devil fruit and wants to have a good chat with Yale.
In short, she's still reeling.
She hoped that the utopia promised by Yale would come true, but she also didn't want to see the people in this world continue to kill each other.
Yale actually agreed.
This guy, whose behavior was always unexpected, nodded indulgently, then moved aside, revealing the door behind him.
"Go ahead, Bucky. I just happen to want to have a good chat with this lady."
What else could Bucky do? Of course he abandoned Uta without hesitation.
Relying on Uta's previous narration, he quickly found the live broadcast room.
There were some setbacks along the way.
There was a deafening explosion outside.
Bucky prayed for a second that it wasn't the sound of Yale beating up Uta.
After fiddling with it for a while, he finally started the live broadcast.
Dozens or even hundreds of screens in front of him displayed battle scenes from all over the island group, making the sight a bit dizzying.
He didn't pay attention to what was on the screen. At this moment, he didn't have the time or the mood to look closely.
So he had no idea that after Vegapunk's nuclear explosion, the exoskeletons of the island residents had actually become ineffective.
The fact that the instruments here can still be used is itself a very abnormal thing.
Holding the microphone, Bucky was struggling with what to say.
In fact, he was completely confused and couldn't understand why the burden of "saving the world and awakening his compatriots" fell on his shoulders.
But there was no point in thinking about that now.
He already had the microphone in his hand.
Taking a deep breath, Bucky recalled the advice he had received from Smoker – he couldn't directly tell them that they were being controlled, he couldn't provoke them, he had to play the emotional card...
“My fellow countrymen all over the world!!!”
His voice was a little shaky at first, but he soon found his groove and began to shout at the top of his lungs.
He thought about his past, about his childhood when Shanks always outdid him, about his idleness in the East China Sea, about how he escaped and was caught by Yale, and about that disdainful chuckle.
He suddenly had an inexplicable impulse and unlimited courage.
If he can wake everyone up, then he, Uncle Buggy, will definitely become famous in this world!
Even if the consequence of becoming famous is that he will be killed by Yale the next moment, he will still sacrifice heroically for the whole world!
