Cyrus was extremely fast and dodged Weevil's attack with just a drop of his body.
The missed slash shot straight into the sky, cleaving the clouds above the harbor in half. The terrifying might frightened Cyrus greatly. He had been in charge of Dressrosa for many years, and it had been a long time since he had encountered such a powerful being.
What is even more worrying is that this group of pirates are pirates with unknown purposes.
If these pirates were allowed to land on the island successfully, Cyrus had no idea what kind of disaster Dressrosa would encounter.
Cyrus kicked his feet hard in the air, relying on the power of the Moon Step, and took off into the air again.
As Cyrus approached the pirate ship, the scene on the deck also fell into Cyrus's eyes.
There were only two people on the huge pirate ship.
This mother-son combination is a little strange. The thin Bakin rides on Weeble's head, and from a distance they look like one person.
Cyrus's eyes swept across Bakin and soon fell on Weeble who was holding a long knife.
He knew that the person who had just attacked him must be this tall man.
“Huh?!”
"Mom, that person is..."
When Cyrus saw Bakin and her son, Weible and the others had already noticed Cyrus quickly flying towards them.
Although the distance was a bit far, Weibull could still vaguely see Cyrus's appearance.
Before arriving in Dressrosa, Weevil naturally knew what he was going to do this time, and he also memorized the appearance of Cyrus.
When Weibull saw Cyrus with a mustache, he recognized him immediately.
"It's actually him?"
"Haha, it's delivered to your door!"
Bakin glanced at Cyrus from a distance and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.
She originally thought that it would be difficult to find Cyrus in the vast Dressrosa, and she even wanted to lure this person out at the cost of some lives.
However, they did not expect that before their ship even reached the port of Dressrosa, Cyrus had already appeared in front of them and rushed towards them, which saved Bakin and his mother a lot of effort.
"Son, that man is Cyrus of the New Navy."
Ba Jin looked up at Cyrus in mid-air, and without suppressing his inner excitement, he patted his son's shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Weible's eyes lit up. He danced the long sword in his hand lightly, then held the sword with both hands and chopped it down again in the direction of Cyrus. The terrifying flying slash broke through the air directly towards Cyrus.
Facing Weible's attack, this time, Cyrus did not choose to dodge.
Behind him was the harbor of Dressrosa, and many residents on the coast had not had time to evacuate. If he wanted to leave, such a terrifying blow would inevitably fall on the land of Dressrosa, and it would be impossible to count how many innocent people would suffer.
Cyrus would never allow such a thing to happen under his nose.
"drink!"
Cyrus quickly swung the long sword in his hand horizontally in front of his chest. Because he was trying with all his strength, he couldn't help but let out a low roar.
In the blink of an eye, the slashing attack was close to Cyrus, and the bright sword light was reflected in Cyrus' pupils.
On the coast, the people who heard the alarm had no idea what was happening in the sea. Just as they were fleeing in a hurry, a slash directly crossed hundreds of meters of the ocean and landed on the shore.
"boom!!!!"
A long knife mark was left where the slash had struck, and the surrounding houses had become ruins. Even the roofs of residential houses a little further away had been blown off due to the strong wind.
The sand and gravel splashed by the slashing hit the human body like bullets, easily penetrating the human body. The people who did not have time to escape were immediately hit by the stirred-up sand and gravel, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
A loud roar sounded on the coast. At this moment, all the residents of Dressrosa who heard the noise realized that something was wrong.
“Ha, ha ha ha!”
"Mom, there's no one blocking our way. Let's go to the island. I'm hungry."
Right in front of the pirate ship, the split sea water slowly flowed back, and Cyrus' figure had disappeared from the sight of Bakin and her son. Weevil slowly put away his knife, looked around, patted his belly lightly, and said to Bakin above his head with a smile on his face.
In just Dressrosa, no one can threaten them, mother and son.
The vice admiral of the new navy was no match for the two of them.
The news of the attack on Dressrosa was quickly relayed back to the Wanoku.
After being passed through layers of channels, the message soon reached Yixiao.
"Two pirates landed on the island. Vice Admiral Cyrus attacked and their lives are unknown. The probability is..."
"Colonel Irene is currently protecting the evacuation of civilians and has chosen not to engage the enemy head-on."
After hearing the news reported by his subordinates, Yixiao, who was sitting behind the desk, was stunned, as if he could not believe what he heard.
"There are only two pirates?"
"After Cyrus's attack, he failed to resist I?"
There were only two enemies. Even with Cyrus's skills, he was unable to resist the two pirates from landing on the island. The strength of these two pirates was somewhat unexpected.
Even Cyrus was unable to fight against the enemy, and the number of people they could send to support the new navy could be counted on one hand.
But at this moment, Yixiao was faced with the dilemma of having no one available.
Ji Guoyuan had left Wan Guo early in the morning and was now building a mobile base in the sea with Vegapunk. It would certainly be difficult for him to get away to support Dressrosa at the moment.
Yixiao himself also needs to stay in Wanguo. After Jiguo Yuanyi left, he became the highest-level commander in Wanguo and had no way to leave Wanguo to support Dressrosa.
There are still some people in the New Navy who are stronger than Cyrus, but Mihawk, Kuma and Abel are still recuperating on Thunder God Island and there is no way they can reach Dressrosa in a short time.
Even Cyrus couldn't deal with the enemy, so even if Tiger was dispatched to support him, it would probably be of no use. If people were to be transferred from Fishman Island, it would be a bit far.
Apart from these people, it is really hard to find strong people in the new navy who can help Dressrosa resist foreign enemies.
After thinking for a long time, Yixiao tapped the table lightly, turned his head slightly and asked the adjutant beside him:
"Where are the Vergo tribe on their mission?"
"Where are they sailing to? Notify the Vergo unit and turn to Dressrosa to help Irene defend against the enemy."
While thinking, Yixiao quickly found the right people to attack. He planned to send Vergo's troops to Dressrosa to resist foreign enemies. Of course, Yixiao didn't think that Vergo and his own subordinates could deal with pirates of that level.
What gave him hope was Aramaki, who was returning from Fishman Island with Vergo and the others.
A natural-type devil fruit user with outstanding physical skills should be able to resist the two pirates with the help of Aramaki's abilities.
After making this decision, Yixiao frowned and began to worry about Cyrus's safety. He had spent a long time with Cyrus, and he was one of the longest-known companions in the new navy, and they had a deep relationship.
Upon hearing such bad news, Yixiao was naturally worried.
After thinking about it, Yixiao decided to tell Yoriichi Tsugikuni the news of Cyrus' death and the attack on Dressrosa.
Although the battle report from the front line has not confirmed that Cyrus is dead, Yixiao does not hold much hope for this. If Cyrus is still alive, even if he only has one breath left, he will not allow pirates to wreak havoc on the land of Dressrosa.
Failure in the fight against pirates often results in death.
The Vergo unit, which was on its way back, quickly received orders from the headquarters. Without any hesitation, the fleet turned directly and headed towards Dressrosa.
They spent quite a while on Fishman Island. When Dressrosa was attacked, they were heading towards Readhilled Island. It would take less than half a month to reach Dressrosa at full speed from here.
No one could have imagined what kind of suffering the people of Dressrosa would endure in the next half month.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
In the fish belly of Mr. Lantern, various engineering robots are busy building an experimental base. After this period of hard work, the ruins of the ancient laboratory originally located on stomach No. 3 have been completely transformed.
Vegapunk's brain has been sent to the laboratory for protection. Around Vegapunk's brain, the robots are strengthening the fortifications and installing various laboratory instruments.
Vegapunk is a scientific madman. As soon as the environment stabilizes a little, he begins to continue his research. Different clones have different experimental projects, but now, all the clones are gathered together to study how to control the actions of the Lantern Lord.
Although there has been no results after this period of research, Vegapunk's efforts are not completely useless. Relying on various exploration robots, they have roughly figured out the body structure of this fish.
Although personnel are currently unable to freely enter and exit the Lantern, they have figured out a way to get out. After various explorations by experimental robots, the route and timing to get out of the fish's belly have also been discovered.
If they simply wanted to leave here, they could leave at any time. However, it would be difficult to come back here after leaving. Not to mention whether they could find the location of Lord Lantern, even if they found it, it would not be easy to enter the fish's belly smoothly.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was content to build the experimental base here with Vegapunk. Without Vegapunk, even if he left here and went to Fish-man Island to take back the administrative power of Fish-man Island, there would still be no suitable person to manage it.
And if he could make good use of this strange creature, Lord Lantern, he wouldn't have to worry about Fishman Island anymore.
As long as one can control Lord Lantern freely, no pirate who tries to reach the New World through the seabed will be able to escape this giant mouth.
What Yoshiichi Tsugikuni didn't expect was that while he was safely in the belly of the fish and building a base with Vegapunk, the bad news about Dressrosa reached his ears.
"Dressrosa was attacked, and Cyrus failed to resist the pirates and his whereabouts are unknown."
In the laboratory base that had just been established, Vegapunk used his own equipment to play an audio clip of Yixiao to Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan was stunned and seemed a little dazed.
"This is the news we just received this afternoon. It's a communication from Wan Guo."
"Yunyi, something happened in Dressrosa."
Vegapunk noticed Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expression and explained to him with similar indignation. Although Vegapunk and Cyrus didn't have a deep friendship, he was also furious when he heard the news of the pirate attack on Dressrosa.
Vegapunk is a man with a sense of justice. The reason why the cyborgs he created are called pacifists is that he hopes to use his technology to eliminate pirates and bring peace to the world.
"Doctor, I want to leave here, can you help me?"
Although Yoriichi Tsugakuni was shocked when he heard the news, he remained calm on the surface, suppressing the anger in his heart and asked Vegapunk.
"The way out of here has already been explored."
"Many exploration robots have already been sent out, and the success rate can be guaranteed."
"I'm not 100% sure that a ship as large as the Dawn can leave safely."
"Of course, if you're alone, I'm sure I can get you out safely."
Hearing this, Ji Guoyuan nodded, forced a smile, and thanked Vegapunk:
"Thank you so much, Doctor."
The next day, Vegapunk began to coat Ji Guoyuan alone.
In this way, Yuichiro Tsugikuni can move in the sea before the oxygen in the bubble is used up.
Since Yoriichi Tsugikuni himself is a person with special abilities, for safety reasons, Vegapunk specially made two escort robots to act with Yoriichi.
The escort robot will push Yunyi's bubble forward, so Yunyi himself does not need to be contaminated by sea water and swim slowly in the sea.
Everything was ready. Vegapunk calculated the time and sent the coated Tsugikoku Yoshiichi into the sea of gastric acid. The escort robot was also placed into the sea of acid.
What caught my eye was a dim yellow, with light coming from the sea of stomach acid.
But soon, the sea became pitch black, and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi could not see anything in his sight, but according to his observation Haki, he was sliding quickly along the intestines, getting farther and farther away from the gastric island.
For a person with special abilities, even the slightest mistake in such an action would lead to his death at the bottom of the sea.
But Tsugikuni Yoshiichi seemed unaware of this. He just closed his eyes and stayed in the bubble, quietly waiting for the moment when the bubble left the deep sea.
"Pirates."
"I want to see what kind of pirates dare to attack Dressrosa!"
Cyrus
Sailing in the deep sea is lonely. In such an environment, Yunyi's thoughts are flying, and fragments of memories of his time with Cyrus flash through his mind.
The anger in his chest grew stronger and stronger, and the knuckles in his clenched fists turned a little white.
