Chapter 25: Two Hundred Million Pirates? One Sword!
The palace, which was once neat and magnificent, was now in a mess.
The silverware on the tables had been swept away, the gold inlay on the surrounding walls had been stripped away, and the gilded ornaments had been gathered and placed in sacks against the walls.
Newark sat sprawled on the throne, his arms folded, one hand clutching a wine glass, the other embracing a disheveled, beautiful woman, his expression relaxed. Nicola McCartney's body lay at Newark's feet, a look of pain frozen on his face.
The beautiful woman in Newk's arms had a face full of fear. Although she tried hard to control herself from looking at Nicola McCartney's body beside her, she always glanced at it inadvertently when she turned her head. Tears gathered in her eyes, and she tried hard to control herself from falling.
On either side of the throne, the crew of the Newk Pirates happily clutched their wine glasses and shouted in joy. Some, so drunk, ran into the hall and started dancing. The maids nervously poured wine for the pirates. One girl, seemingly unable to bear the pressure, burst into tears.
The cheerful atmosphere was interrupted by a sudden cry.
Newk, who was originally smiling brightly on the throne, immediately looked gloomy. He put down his wine glass and looked intently at the maid who had just cried.
The maid looked at Newk in horror, but before she could beg for mercy, a ball of mud flew out of Newk's hand and smeared the maid's face.
The smell of mud rushed into the maid's nose. She struggled a little and then fell to the ground and didn't move.
Seeing this scene, the pirates looked at each other and laughed, not caring at all that someone died in front of them. Those who needed to drink drank, those who needed to dance danced, and some pirates hugged the maid beside them with an inexplicable look and whispered, "If you want to survive, you must be obedient!"
The solemn and dignified hall turned into a playground for pirates at this moment.
"Brothers, enjoy yourself!"
"After we've eaten and drunk our fill, we'll go and take down the Navy branch here!"
"The New World belongs to us pirates! When will the Navy be able to intervene in the New World?!"
"We, the Newk Pirates, are the new rulers of the Nier Kingdom! I am the king!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Newk sat on the throne, laughing wildly. After he finished speaking, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it all. Then he slammed the wine glass onto the table in front of the beautiful woman in his arms and roared excitedly:
"Pour the wine!"
While the beautiful woman was pouring wine, Newk lowered his head and looked at the whiteness of her chest. He licked his lips, his eyes turned bloodshot, and suddenly he grabbed the beautiful woman's wrist and planned to take her away.
"Hiss, why is it suddenly so cold?"
At this moment, a pirate sitting at the gate shivered suddenly. He was about to get up and find some clothes to put on when a white frost spread into the hall without warning.
Looking up, I saw two unfamiliar figures suddenly appear in the hall.
One of the men had a cold expression, was tall and slender, wore a round hat and a pair of round sunglasses, had his hands in the pockets of his cloak, and a light mist of frost came out of his breath.
One of the man's feet had completely turned into solid ice. The cold air was transmitted from his body, and the ground under his feet was covered with a thin layer of ice.
Beside the man stood a red-haired youth, wielding a long sword. He had a handsome face, with red markings on his forehead extending to the corners of his eyes. He looked up at Newk, who was about to leave the throne, his expression indifferent.
“Who are you?!”
Newk on the throne also noticed the two people who suddenly appeared in the hall. He let go of the beautiful woman's wrist and looked intently at the two people in the hall.
When he saw the tall man's navy emblem on his chest and hat, he recognized his identity.
"The Navy?!"
“Hahaha, hahahaha!”
"They arrived really quickly! Was it that little bitch who ran away earlier who reported it?!"
"I was just about to go find the navy later, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative?"
"What, are there only two of you? Where are the others? Come out, I'll take care of you all at once! Hahahaha!"
Newk recognized that the person coming was a navy soldier. Instead of being afraid, he burst into laughter.
He didn't know how many navies like the one in front of him had been dealt with.
"How arrogant!"
Aokiji looked up at the wildly laughing Newk, his chest filled with rage, and his voice became a little hoarse.
The two who broke into the palace at this time were Aokiji and Yoriichi Tsugakuni. When they broke through the mud fort's defenses and entered the palace, they both discovered the pirates in the palace.
Aokiji's observation Haki is quite strong. He has already noticed the tragedy that has occurred in the palace. What's more, there are countless corpses of guards in the lobby at the entrance.
And Yunyi, who stepped over corpses all the way to this hall, had already sentenced the pirate on the throne to death in his heart.
A cold breath emanated from Aokiji's body. Just as Aokiji was about to make a move, Yunyi suddenly walked in front of Aokiji, raised his long sword and pointed it at Newk on the throne, and whispered to Aokiji:
"Kuzan, your ability is too gentle for them."
"Let me do it."
Newk, sitting on the throne, saw the red-haired brat pointing a knife at him. After a brief moment of shock, he threw his head back and laughed wildly, as if he had witnessed some huge joke.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
"Kid, are you going to attack me?!"
“Come on, come on!”
"I'm a clay man who ate the Mud-Mud Fruit. Knives and guns are useless to me."
"Hahaha, come on, chop it up."
"Well"
At some point, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's figure had disappeared from Aokiji's presence, and a sudden thunderclap exploded in the hall.
Yunyi's figure suddenly appeared in front of Newk, and his long sword slashed down quickly.
While Newk was still speaking, he suddenly realized that his gaze had inexplicably risen. After a moment, his gaze dropped rapidly. In a trance, he saw the indifferent face of Tsugikoku Yoriichi in front of him, and was surprised:
"This kid, when did he come to my place?!"
His vision shifted, and he saw the astonished faces of his companions beneath the throne, and saw his own headless body.
"Isn't this my body? Why am I seeing my body?"
Newk was horrified and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything. Even his consciousness was rapidly fading away.
With fear lingering in his heart, Newk finally realized at this moment that he was going to die.
"Am I going to die? How is it possible! How could I possibly die?! How could such a brat... How could such a brat..."
Thunder Breathing - Form 1 - Thunderbolt Flash!
Combining the shaving technique and attaching the armed color domineering to the knife, Yoshikazu Tsugakuin reached the maximum speed in an instant. Newk's natural fruit ability had no chance to be fully utilized, and he was beheaded by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin one by one.
Ji Guoyuan shook the knife, shook off the blood on it, and slowly put the knife into the sheath.
Bang!
Newk's headless body fell at Yunyi's feet. Yunyi glanced down at the dead Newk and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"It's really hard to change a habit in a short time. Wouldn't this seem too cruel?"
Yuan Yi, who is used to chopping off ghosts, will behead them with one move, ruthlessly and fiercely.
"captain."
"Captain Newk!!!"
"Dead. He's actually dead!!"
After Newk fell down, he never got up again. It was not until this moment that the crew of the Newk Pirates realized that their captain, who had eaten the natural devil fruit and could ignore physical attacks, was actually killed by a single knife.
The joy after the looting disappeared at this moment. Looking at Yoriichi Tsugikuni standing beside the throne with a knife, the other members of the Newk Pirates had no intention of fighting at all. They all rushed towards the door of the hall, not wanting to stay in the hall for even a second.
“Ice time!”
The remnants of Newk were about to leave. At this moment, Aokiji finally took action. He opened his arms slightly, and extreme coldness emanated. The frost on the soles of his feet instantly turned into solid ice and spread rapidly towards the pirates around him.
Kalala.
After a slight sound, a cold wind blew past.
The pirates who ran towards the palace gate were instantly turned into ice sculptures. The expressions on their faces were frozen, and their terrified looks were lifelike.
Boom!!!!
"Kuzan! Yoriichi!"
“Where are you!”
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the palace's front yard, followed by Garp's roar, which carried through the palace. An inexplicable hurricane, carrying dust and dirt, barreled directly into the palace.
The ice sculpture of the pirate at the entrance of the palace instantly turned into ice powder under the sweeping hurricane.
“.”
Aokiji speechlessly raised an ice wall in the hall to protect himself and the others in the hall.
Yunyi had already put away his sword and stood beside Aokiji. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This style of work is really a waste of talent for a navy."
