Chapter 1324: I am unhappy because I have to bend my waist to serve the powerful.
In the original work of "One Piece", the character "Momotu Gion" is a special existence.
She was originally written by a fan, but was later approved and improved by the original author, and became a character in the official plot, and even had several scenes in the theatrical version released.
In other words, the birth of this character is more like an interactive mini-game between the author and fans, which satisfies fans' sense of participation without affecting the original main plot direction.
Although "Momotu Gion" is just a fleeting sidekick in the main story, his status is not low.
"Tsuruga", the chief staff officer of the Navy Headquarters, treats her as a biological sister, and he himself is also a lieutenant general, second only to the three navy generals.
If it hadn't been for the post-war world conscription, "Fujitora Issei" and "Green Bull Aramaki" were suddenly killed. With the strength of "Momo Usagi Gion", she would definitely have become the first female in the history of the navy.
general.
Just seeing that she has the unique "color + zodiac" code name of a general, a smart person will realize that this woman is not easy to mess with.
"Mr. Nightmare, I know something about the Drum Kingdom. Although it's hard to express my opinion from a soldier's standpoint, as far as I'm concerned, I have no ill feelings towards Mr. Nightmare... and I can see that Nightmare
Sir, you have no intention of making an enemy of the navy, otherwise you wouldn’t have intentionally spared the blow just now and not harmed ‘Tina’.”
The original work does not describe much about "Momotu Gion". We only know that this woman was good at seducing intelligence or assassinating people before becoming a lieutenant general. She obviously does not have any charming superpowers, and she only relies on her delicate thoughts and speaking skills.
Can easily gain the trust and favor of the target.
When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.
The observer confirmed that the "Beiming Youyu" was an empty ship and immediately sent an order to stop the bombardment. Before the commander issued a new order, all the ships remained in formation and stayed quietly at sea.
"Mr. Nightmare, there are rumors that you relied on your natural talent to conquer the Empress. Only ignorant ordinary people would believe this nonsense. I personally know that you relied on your strength..."
"No, it's true that I have strength, but the rumors are also true."
Luo Jie suddenly interrupted and immediately stopped the chatter of "Momo Rabbit Gion".
She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was thicker-skinned than she had imagined. If she was given a pole, she could climb to the top. If it was not enough, she could even pick up a piece of it on her own.
"Uh-huh!" "Momotu Gion" pretended to cough to cover up her embarrassment, and said with a slightly red face: "Mr. Nightmare, let's get to the point - I want to recruit you to serve as the leader of the "Ocean's Shichibukai" on behalf of the World Government.
One, I wonder what you think?"
The proposal of "Momo Rabbit Gion" was a bit beyond Luo Jie's expectations, but it made sense after thinking about it.
For the World Government, the purpose of sending out the navy to attack pirates is to maintain the broken balance of maritime power, but in the end it is a bad strategy that kills one thousand enemies and only damages eight hundred.
Replenishing the quota of "King Shichibukai" and using thieves to control thieves is the best solution to the proliferation of pirates at the current stage.
And after conquering the empress "Boa Hancock", he is fully qualified to serve as the "Emperor Shichibukai".
Compared with subjugation, if we can recruit him, it will be a real great achievement for "Momotu Gion".
To be honest, Luo Jie was really moved.
"King Shichibukai" is an official pirate certified by the World Government. As long as he pays a certain fee regularly and accepts the World Government's recruitment order to participate in foreign operations, no matter what else he does, the World Government will turn a blind eye.
Even the Admiral of the Navy has no right to launch an attack on the "Shichibukai" without the authorization of the World Government.
At least until this system is proposed to be abolished in the later stages of the plot, the identity of "The King's Shichibukai" is an extremely useful talisman.
Unfortunately, once he becomes "The King's Shichibukai", the bounty will be frozen. This is completely contrary to Luo Jie's main mission, so he is destined to be unable to accept the good intentions of "Momotu Gion".
"I became a pirate to enjoy freedom. If this freedom comes from being a hawk to some powerful people... I will not be able to think clearly."
This person can definitely get full marks for being so cool, even that weird passive skill [Fighting Shine] was automatically activated by this sentence.
It's not even a skill, is there any use in activating it? Does it increase the effect of SHUI server...
"Momotu Gion" sighed quietly, shook his shoulders and threw off the navy cloak with "Justice" written on it, and put his left hand on the white knife handle at his waist.
"Mr. Nightmare, if you were not a pirate, I would be very willing to make you a friend...but today we are destined to meet at war."
As he spoke, large stripes appeared under the fair skin of "Momotu Gion", turning into an armor-like bone hard shell to wrap up the sexy and hot body, with four sickle-like jointed limbs extending from the back,
Two pairs of red compound eyes of different sizes are opened on the forehead, and they look even more enchanting and charming against the thick eyeshadow-like markings.
Luo Jie's expression became solemn, and the dark "armed domineering energy" instantly wrapped around his body.
There is no mention of the ability of "Momo Usagi Gion" in the original work. Judging from the transformed form, he is obviously a user with animal devil fruit abilities.
Animal-type fruits are known for their high physical fitness and high recovery. Although they are not as difficult to deal with as natural-type fruits, if the eater himself is a master of physical arts, then it is a different matter.
"Momo Usagi Gion" stepped lightly on the deck with his heels, and a huge spider web-like pattern spread out instantly with her as the center, and then disappeared after a brief flash.
"What was that just now?"
Luo Jie frowned. Whether it was [Supersensory Intuition] or [Seeing and Hearing Haki], he was aware of any danger, but he did not think that the other party would be so boring that he would just add a sense of ritual to the start of the war.
Unexpectedly, "Momotu Gion" actually answered his question.
"This is my Devil Fruit ability "Spider Web Maze". Please be assured that it will not cause any direct harm to Mr. Nightmare. Its only function is to prevent you from leaving a certain range around me..."
Luo Jie was silent for a moment, then suddenly picked up the dog and jumped with his sword to retreat. However, the scene that appeared in front of him the next moment was the stern of the warship and the back of "Momo Rabbit Gion".
"I see……"
It seems that the opponent's blockade is not a simple birdcage fence, but a kind of spatial distortion. No matter which direction you break through, you will enter the blockade area again from the opposite direction.
"Looking at Mr. Nightmare's calm reaction, he must have understood his situation... Let me tell you something clearly, unless I die, even if I just lose consciousness, the effect of "Spider Web Maze" will not disappear."
As he finished speaking, Luo Jie felt his eyes blur as his body suddenly appeared in the air dozens of meters away from the sea. Not far away was the huge naval flagship.
He immediately adjusted from the falling posture, recalled the nearby [Flying Sword Lucifer] and the dog "Xiao Ke" and sent them to the storage space, suspended in mid-air with only the flying ability of [Dracula Cloak]
.
Teleport?
No, there was no picture loss unique to teleportation just now. At the same time, my body felt an oblique pull. It was obviously pulled up by "Momotu Gion" with some kind of ability.
"Sorry, Mr. Nightmare, please forgive me for such a rude invitation." The sexy and hot body of "Momotu Gion" slowly rose from the deck, and she looked face to face with him, looking apologetically: "The ship and the
Soldiers cannot withstand a battle of our level. If the battle damage is too serious, it will be difficult for me to explain to the headquarters, so I can only ask you to change the battlefield."
Luo Jie shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Being alone with a beauty like Miss Gion is something that many men can only dream of...I guess the guy named "Kaki" from the headquarters will be extremely jealous."
"Tea Pig Kake" is the only candidate for admiral in the Navy Headquarters, and he is also the crazy suitor of "Momotu Gion". It is said that he has been rejected 100 times, but he still becomes more and more courageous with every setback.
"Haha, Mr. Nightmare knows me really well."
The spider web that flashes out of thin air supports the sexy and delicate body of "Momo Usagi Gion". It is formed as the footsteps fall, and then dissipates as the footsteps are raised.
"Of course, the most important reason is that based on the analysis of you by our staff, Mr. Nightmare, you should have a certain degree of water control ability. If we start a war with you, we must keep you as far away from all water sources as possible."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally and waved his hands as the clouds filled the air surrounding him and spread rapidly in all directions.
"It seems that the Navy Headquarters really pays attention to me, a young pirate who has just debuted. They have even analyzed my abilities so thoroughly."
"Momotu Gion" covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Nightmare is joking, how could the one who can defeat the empress "Boa Hancock" be an unknown little pirate?"
"Have you ever considered the possibility that my victory over the Empress was due to my extraordinary talent?"
"Do you think I believe it or not?"
"Momo Usagi Gion" had a blush on her cheeks, pursed her lips, and had a subtle look in her eyes.
Luo Jie sighed, it's hard to be honest these days, no one believes the truth anymore.
"It's nice chatting with you, but if I don't do something, that girl "Tina" may not be able to sit still." "Momotu Gion" glanced at the flagship at his feet, and slowly pulled out the white-handled sword from his waist. , elegantly held up the sword and said: "This sword is called "Jinpilao". It is one of the twelve skills of the supreme sharp sword. The blade is sharp and can even cut through a certain degree of "armed domineering". Mr. Nightmare, please be careful."
As the words fell, the figure of the beautiful lieutenant general suddenly moved forward strangely, as if pulled by an invisible force to glide through the air. The sword wrapped in "armed color domineering" broke through the cloud wall floating in front of Luo Jie, and slashed out in the sky. A half-moon shaped black sword light.
Because there is no force-flexing movement like before the "Moon Step", by the time Luo Jie's "Seeing Color Haki" senses the opponent's movement trajectory, the black sword light has already reached an unavoidable distance.
In a hurry, he raised his arms to parry, shattering the sword light but failing to block the blade of "Kimpila". If it weren't for the "Armed Color Haki" wrapped around him and a layer of [Spiritual Equipment Barrier] that could evenly distribute local damage to the whole body, he would have been able to move forward. There is also [Greer Style: Fighting Qi Hardening Technique] to increase the body's hardness and defense. This knife is enough to cut off his left hand at the wrist.
"Huh?"
This sword with a force of eight parts was held up with his bare hands, and "Momotu Gion" was as shocked as Luo Jie.
You know, "Kinpira" is one of the top twelve swords in the world. So far, the enemies it has faced, except "Hundred Beasts Kaido", have never been unable to cut them off in two.
However, what made her feel a little relieved was that the handle of the knife gave back the feeling of cutting skin. In other words, although the opponent's defense was strong, it was far from the monster "Kaido of the Hundred Beasts" that was completely impossible to attack. .
——[Six-style Finger Gun]!
As their thoughts flashed, the two sides had already fought dozens of times.
Luo Jie's fingers were like indestructible short spears, drawing afterimages in the air and stabbing the vital parts of "Momo Rabbit Gion" accurately.
"Momotu Gion" danced "Kimhira" gracefully, perfectly resolving all attacks with exquisite sword skills, and from time to time it could leave a few shallow wounds on Luo Jie during the roll of the sword. .
Swish——!
Another unpredictable sword light left a blood stain on Luo Jie's cheek. He wiped away the overflowing blood drops and gradually turned up the corners of his mouth.
"Momotu Gion" stood with his sword horizontally and frowned: "Mr. Nightmare, I never think that fighting is a happy thing. After all, it is always accompanied by killing and death."
"I'm not enjoying the joy of fighting, but I finally discovered the possibility of defeating you, Miss Gion..."
As he finished speaking, Luo Jie's left eye pupil suddenly lit up with a golden halo, and the sky and sea within his field of vision were instantly covered with a colorful mosaic.
——[Evil Eye·Cavalry Eye]!
"Momotu Gion" calmed down from the brief shock, looked at the strange space completely covered with mosaics with vigilance, and said calmly: "Although I don't know what tricks Mr. Luo Jie played, but in the "Spider Web Maze",
No changes can escape my perception, and you obviously haven't changed anything here except what we see."
"Miss Gion, you are right, but my purpose is to block the outside world's view. After all, the ability I am going to use next, I don't want to be seen by a third person besides you and me."
In the eyes of "Momo Usagi Gion" in disbelief, a red long knife appeared out of thin air in Luo Jie's hand, and before it was even taken out of its sheath, it was already wrapped with a layer of bright red and blood-red manzilla-like flames.
[Netherworld Flower Burial].
"Let me tell you a secret - actually, I am a swordsman."
"Sword... guest?" "Momotu Gion" opened her beautiful eyes wide, as if she wanted to get to know Luo Jie again, and smiled: "Mr. Nightmare, you did exceed my expectations again, but I might as well tell you a secret.
——Actually, I'm better at dealing with enemies who use knives than fists and kicks. If you think you can defeat me this way, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Luo Jie also laughed.
"I will win, not because I am better at using a knife, but because I just discovered - Ms. Gion, your "dominance" is metallic."
In the clear sound of the spring, the golden blade of the sword was flicked up by the thumb, and scarlet blood-like flames overflowed from the gap in the scabbard, first turning into brilliant gold like the sun, and then dyed into pitch black like the night sky.
Although the original burning heat that almost burned out the soul was gone, "Momotu Gion" could feel that the amazing heat did not disappear, but was extremely restrained under the entanglement of "Armed Color Haki", and its internal temperature was only
I'm afraid it will be more terrifying than ordinary flames.
——"Origin, Nightmare Sword, Jet Obscurity Sword"!
The black flaming blade swept across the sky, and the flame pillars that were sprayed one after another were as fierce as a dragon's breath. "Momotu Gion", who had never seen such a weird move, was caught off guard, and split the black flames with "Kinpira".
But he was still burned all over his body by the flying sparks.
These flames... are weird!
Although "Momo Usagi Gion" was not substantially damaged, she clearly felt that these flames had an extraordinary impact on her "armed haki". If she was hit head-on, she would definitely be defeated in one blow.
I can't hold back anymore.
"Momotu·Gion" secretly regretted it, and suddenly struck back with a sword. The half-moon-shaped black sword light disappeared behind him in an instant, and flew out strangely from Luo Jie's back the next second.
Swish——!
The sword light that passed through the body did not bring any traces of blood. Luo Jie's figure flashed a dozen clear afterimages in mid-air, and the next moment it appeared below "Momo Rabbit Gion".
——"Original Nightmare Sword Flame Sky Arc Moon"!
The rotating sword light rolled up a huge wave of fire, instantly engulfing the delicate figure of "Momotu Gion". The impact of the blade sent out a violent ripple-like shock wave, forcibly suppressing the black flame at the edge of the domain space.
Before "Momo Usagi Gion" could recover, Luo Jie, whose steps were as erratic as a ghost, dragged the afterimage and approached again. The blade of the sword was spinning sideways like a full moon, and his body was like a top, and he slashed dozens of times in a row.
——"Origin·Dream Sword·Wound Dance of Wind and Fire"!
In a series of intensive cuts without interruption, the "Armed Haki" wrapped around "Kinpila" was consumed at a terrifying speed. The black sword light passed over the defenseless blade, and the "Momo" that also lost its jet black color was Usagi Gion's shoulder was cut with a cut mark that was deep enough to show the bone.
"Momotu Gion" bit her lips without making any sound, and her body instantly moved a hundred meters sideways. While gasping for air, "Armed Haki" wrapped around her body again.
"Mr. Nightmare, I originally wanted to defeat you openly, but now it seems that I have to give up my principles... I'm really sorry."
"Momotu Gion" took a deep breath, a faint pink smoke spurted out from her mouth, and a sweet fragrance similar to the fragrance of flowers instantly filled the domain space.
Although Luo Jie held his breath for the first time, the pink smoke seemed to be able to penetrate directly into the skin regardless of the "Armed Color Haki". After a moment, a feeling of heat rose rapidly from his lower abdomen.
