Chapter 62 Prayer [VIP]
The horrific scene of hell on earth disappeared.
In fact, even the island groups that stretched as far as the eye could see had vanished without a trace.
The Red Hair Pirates' Red floated on the blue sea under the clear sky.
There is nothing around it, it is as small as a grain of floating sand.
The bloody smell in the nose was blown away by the salty and humid sea breeze.
Even though they couldn't see anything, everyone's mind was still immersed in the purgatory scene they had just witnessed.
Their faces all looked ugly.
Even among the pile of corpses, Shanks saw the bodies of Uta and Makino with their eyes open.
The scene was so real, whether judging from the visual, auditory or smell sense, it was so real that there was no falsehood at all.
But the same thing happened with the paradise-like scenes they had seen in the previous few days. They even went deep into the island, interacted with and got to know many people, and still didn't feel anything was wrong.
Is it true? Is it false?
Without clear evidence, they can only assume the worst.
Is this what Yale wants?
After they feel relieved, let them lift their spirits again.
According to the location of the islands in his memory, the Rede circled the surrounding waters several times.
If the enemy simply blocked the island group, then the Red would eventually hit the island's border if it kept charging forward.
But they hit nothing; the sea was just as it had been to them, empty.
"Shanks," Beckman reminded.
They couldn't waste any more time.
It has been some time since they left the New World, and there has been no news since they entered the island group.
If other pirate groups think they are gone, then the islands they occupy in the New World and the people on the islands may be in danger.
Shanks also knew this, but when he thought of the bloody corpses and Uta, he couldn't feel at ease.
He felt a little regretful. He should have taken advantage of that time to meet Uta instead of leaving silently for fear of hurting her again.
"Go back." Shanks said in a low voice.
Jesus asked, "Do you think that's true or false?"
Many people on the ship avoided this issue. They didn't want to think about this heavy matter.
If heaven is real, then everyone will be happy. They no longer have to worry about the safety of their acquaintances on the island and can leave with peace of mind.
If it is false, then as Yale expands, there will be more and more victims, until finally, the whole world will become a living hell.
When everyone remained silent, Beckman, the most rational one, spoke up.
This second-in-command, who always likes to prepare for the worst, unexpectedly gave the best result.
"I think everything we experienced was real. As for the last scene, I think he did it to play a trick on us."
"Teasing?" Hongo felt that the word was a bit too light.
"You mean he's playing a prank on us, making himself look like a..."
Having said this, Hongo suddenly came to his senses and looked at Beckman in surprise.
Beckman nodded and reminded everyone, "Don't forget, the image he has portrayed to the outside world has always been that of a villain."
That's why his nickname is the Devil of the East China Sea, and that's why so many nobles from the East China Sea fled to the Grand Line with their families.
The once weakest East China Sea has now become a sea area that many people consider to be more dangerous and terrifying than the Grand Line.
Laki didn't understand, "What on earth is he trying to do?"
"He wants us to unite." Shanks thought of the conversation he had with Yale in the cabin.
The other party hopes that they will unite. Although the original words were "It will be more convenient to eliminate ants by gathering together", the other party later said that if they are valuable, then of course there is a need for them to continue to exist.
But although he asked what that value was, he did not get a clear answer.
The criteria for judging were not set by Yale, but by them - even after so many days, Shanks still didn't understand what Yale meant.
Could it be related to Luffy? Shanks thought about how Yale had been following Luffy's movements and even edited a movie and invited him to watch it together.
If this wasn't a hint, Shanks couldn't think of any other possibility.
The crew members who were also thinking about it were also confused.
Jesus shook his head with a depressed look on his face. "That's easy to say. With so many forces in this vast ocean right now, how can we possibly unite them?"
It's easy to talk to pirates, navy officers, and revolutionaries. When they really encounter a danger that no one can escape, it is indeed possible for them to unite.
The ones who really can't unite are actually the Celestial Dragons.
They think they are superior to others. If they are attacked in the future, they will only order the people in the lower world to risk their lives instead of picking up weapons and fighting with them.
While the Red Hair Pirates were discussing the group of world nobles, the world nobles far away in the holy land of Marijoa were sighing.
Island after island disappeared, and even a noble person like the Celestial Dragons began to feel a little sad.
There were some special vegetables and fruits in the East China Sea that were favorites on their tables. Now that the islands are gone, the vegetables and fruits are gone too.
The Tianlong people, who couldn't eat what they wanted and vented their anger to no avail, had no choice but to give up and swallow their anger.
There is also the red earth continent destroyed by Yale. Although it is quite far away from the holy land, they always feel that the sea breeze blowing from below has polluted the pure air of the holy land.
Some sophisticated Tianlong people can only wear helmets to avoid being stinked by the dirty air.
Compared to these celestial dragons who only know how to enjoy themselves and make trouble every day, those who are in high positions do not have so many trivial worries.
The Five Elders, the Knights of God, and even Lord Im, their only current concern is how to resolve the big trouble coming from outside.
Although the scientific research power of Future Island scientists such as Vegapunk has been lost, the World Government does not only have Future Island as a scientific research island.
The research content of the science class is diverse, and some of the research that Vegapunk doesn't want to do are arranged in laboratories on other islands.
Now all research laboratories have suspended research on other projects and started to develop technology to counter optical stealth and holographic projection.
However, without Vegapunk and without corresponding technology for reference, the research progress has stagnated and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs.
But there is still some good news.
Within the World Government, the Five Elders met with four CP9 members, who they would never have met with before.
These four people were once responsible for going undercover in the Water City to search for the design drawings of the ancient weapon Pluto, which might be hidden in the hands of Aspago.
And now, the Water City has disappeared, but the four of them miraculously survived and successfully returned to the government to report.
However, thinking of Vegapunk who acted as a mouthpiece last time, the Five Elders became extremely alert.
Maybe these four people have also been controlled by Yale, but their situation is different from Vegapunk's. They left the island, while Vegapunk was controlled and brought to the island.
When the Five Elders heard Lucci's report that the Pluto design drawings had been taken away by Yale, their faces turned ugly.
That's an ancient weapon that can destroy an island with one shot. If Vegapunk were to make it, the consequences would be disastrous.
The powerful low pressure almost crushed the bodies of Kalifa, Kaku and Bruno, and only Lucci still maintained an expressionless face.
"Alright, you guys did a great job. Go back and rest. We'll find you if there's another mission later."
That's what they said, but the Five Elders no longer planned to ask them to do any more missions.
No one can guarantee whether they are controlled by Yale to gather information within the government. Not only will they no longer trust them, they will even monitor them to see if Yale has other tasks for them to complete.
Besides, Sartain had other ideas.
If they were truly controlled, they would likely carry Yale's mark on their minds.
Let my scientists do some research, maybe they can find a way to eliminate or even counter Yale.
Not long after leaving the government building, Lucci and his three companions discovered that they were being targeted by someone.
They risked their lives to come back, and naturally considered the possibility of mission failure, but they still came back. The brainwashing education they received since childhood forced them to be loyal to the World Government.
They subconsciously avoided the attack from behind, and when they saw that the one attacking them was CP0 wearing a white robe and a mask, the four of them all thought to themselves, "As expected."
Surrender or flee? The four men made their choice almost without hesitation – fight back!
However, if Lucci and Bruno, who previously possessed fruit abilities, were to face CP0, they would still have a chance of winning.
But now that they have lost their fruit abilities, it is difficult for them to gain any advantage over CP0, the Celestial Dragons’ strongest shield.
After using his fruit ability to knock four people unconscious one after another, Stussy, a member of CP0 and the user of the Bat Fruit, licked his lips and retracted his bat wings and fangs.
"Take them away." Her emotions couldn't be discerned from her voice.
Looking at Lucci and the other three being taken away, a glimmer of hope flashed across Stussy's eyes.
If they can survive the disappearing island, then can I...
From a distance, she gazed towards the East China Sea, then turned around and followed her CP0 companions.
As the sky gradually darkened, the Tianlong people who had been angry all day gradually fell asleep.
In the prison where slaves were held, the guard in the monitoring room drank the spiked coffee and fell asleep on the monitoring table.
A scarred giant carefully stood up under the expectant and nervous gaze of the crowd, and whispered pleading beside the monitoring Den Den Mushi.
"Respected Captain Yale, please save me... please save us!"
It was originally just a sentence of hopelessness, but in the end it made the giant burst into tears.
If there is someone who can really hear their call for help, if there is someone who can really take them away from this hell, he will definitely spend the rest of his life devoutly serving that person.
Hearing the giant's choking sobs, the people below also began to sob softly.
If they had the chance to leave, they would definitely not... definitely not go out to sea again. Even if they had to beg for a living on the island, it would be better than being tortured in various ways here.
The surveillance Den Den Mushi rolled its eyes, looking down at the people crying and begging below, like a god who finally heard the believers' prayers, and responded lazily.
"Okay, I've heard your voices."
