You must know that just before he sneaked into the new world for this mission, their news was that Ace was working with the captain of the fourth division, Thatch, to clear out the pirates who were causing trouble in Whitebeard's territory.
With the "World's Strongest" Whitebeard watching him eagerly, who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard knowing that Ace is Roger's son?
But how long has it been since then?
Ace was actually arrested?
Or the Navy?!!
Suddenly, Xiao thought of a terrible possibility and asked: "Could it be you?!!!"
The navy has arrested the bloodline of the Pirate King, and there must be a battle between them and Whitebeard.
Considering the current situation, there is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary is the young man in front of him who looks like an ordinary nobleman, "Black Earl" Francis Lovett!
Hearing this, Lovett opened his mouth under Xiao Xiao's horrified gaze and admitted frankly.
"yeah, I made it."
"Including the commotion in Whitebeard's territory, I was the one who triggered it."
"Are you very touched? Roger's son, whose sinful bloodline has not been cut off for decades, fell into your hands so easily."
Touched... what the hell!
Xiao's face was ashen, something big had happened now!
Whitebeard seems to have been outgunned by the Black Beast Federation. They are indeed not optimistic about the outcome of the war between Whitebeard and the Black Beast Federation, but Whitebeard is not someone to be trifled with!
After Roger died and before the Great Pirate Age came into being, during that chaotic time, Whitebeard firmly occupied the position of leader of all pirates in the world.
If he wanted to become the Pirate King, it would be as simple as eating, drinking, and searching for things!
It is such a terrifying existence that will now fight to the death with the navy!
Lovett also knew this, so he decided to use the plot to minimize the risk.
During the battle in the East China Sea, the power that Whitebeard's seemingly old body erupted was still astonishing. Even though the aging of his body and the onset of hidden injuries could not affect it, he did not stop developing the Shock Fruit.
If it hadn't been for "The Great Vortex Spider" Scuyard's chest-piercing sword, the number of casualties of the navy on the battlefield is still unknown.
For such a white beard, he is naturally qualified to be singled out by him for calculation.
Noticing the peach rabbit crawling out from Lantern Master's back below, Xiao Xiao clenched his fists.
"Everyone, retreat!!"
The Black Earl didn't want to kill them, Xiao Xiao could tell.
Because he wanted Whitebeard to die at the hands of the navy.
But they have no choice!
This is an upright conspiracy and the government must take up this challenge!
There was just a hint of the possibility of a possible alliance, but it was defeated by the Black Earl's conspiracy.
When it comes to calculations and people's hearts, Lovett doesn't mean to brag. If he can't compare to Blackbeard even though he has the plot advantage, that would really make him laughable.
"Why?"
At this time, Taotu, who was covered in blood, asked with doubts in his eyes.
Commander CP0 is indeed qualified to command them, but is it too early to order a retreat?
Moreover, they also...
Gulu!
Before he finished asking, Taotu stopped.
Looking at the silent battlefield, Peach Rabbit's eyes gradually turned red, unable to sense the crane's breath.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao appeared behind her and held her shoulders: "Calm down, General Peach Rabbit!"
"The Navy has arrested Fire Fist Ace, we don't have time to waste here!"
"'Ayes the fire fist?!"
Taotu took a breath, suppressed the grief in her heart, and said hoarsely: "I...understand!"
"That's good."
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, took her arm, and stepped heavily.
Moon step!
The top priority is to rush back and prepare for war. If there are major mistakes in the war with Whitebeard, Xiao Xiao does not think that the Black Beast Federation can sit still in the new world.
They not only want to win this battle, but they also want to win beautifully, and win without giving anyone a chance!
Seeing the general Taotu being controlled and taken away by the owl, the surviving navy were all stunned, and then...
Wow!
Throw away your helmet and armour, become birds and beasts and scatter.
Some people ran towards the remaining warships and tried to move them; some people ran around headlessly, avoiding the sight of the sky.
The tide is over!
There is no point in them continuing to stay here except adding to the casualty list. The best choice is to work hard to keep themselves alive.
During this process, the neo navy did not pursue.
Because Xiu Zuo and Ai Yin knew very well that it was not their people who defeated the navy, so pursuing the victory at this time obviously did not give face to the man above them.
One person can make tens of thousands of people afraid to move. This is the majesty of the top powerhouse in the sea!
Boom!!
At this time, another vibration came.
Everyone looked back and saw that the skeleton of Lord Lantern collapsed like a wreck that had been blown in the wind and sand for thousands of years.
But what is exposed under the flesh and blood is not some vague flesh residue, but... three islands of astonishing size!!
"Did it swallow the island whole into its belly?!"
Ai Yin stared in horror, looking at the still lush vegetation on the island, feeling incredible.
Not only did it swallow it, it even allowed the island to form a stable ecosystem in its belly, and there were still living things living on it!
"Wait, in this case..."
Looking at the iconic structure of the lantern fish that had lost the support of flesh and bone and slowly peeled off its ugly coat, Ai Yin swallowed.
There is no sunshine in Mr. Lantern’s belly.
According to common sense, this is correct.
But these plants are still growing luxuriantly, which proves that there are other light sources that replace sunlight.
Obviously there is only one answer!
Buzz!
The dazzling golden light burst out as the wrinkled tissue like fish skin fell off. It was obviously a clear sky, but there was no trace of the sun's rays here.
A huge ball made of gold appeared between the sea and the sky, emitting a dazzling and bright light.
Like a huge light source, it is so stimulating that people can't open their eyes.
Human pupils have limits. Too much brightness will damage vision, but the undead can... Close your eyes, leaving only the blood-colored pupils of a red-eyed raven. After deflecting the brightness, a huge pure gold ball that is completely integrated and ingenious appears.
In Lovett's mind.
"This thing can be taken back and used as decoration."
He thought seriously about the possibilities.
In Auroville, there seems to be no problem with having one more morning star.
Suddenly, Lovett felt a faint breath coming from the island, flapped his wings and flew quickly.
"Interesting, Taotu actually gave up?"
Looking at the figure lying on the beach of the first island panting, Lovett's eyes were full of curiosity.
Even through the life force field as vast as the blazing sun of Lantern Master's furnace, he could clearly "see" that the ball of life force representing Peach Rabbit finally pounced on Qing Pheasant, and then Qing Pheasant disappeared as if dead.
Now it seems that Taotu finally chose to show mercy.
Lovett became convinced when he noticed the fat man and the little girl beside Qing Zhi who were so stimulated by the pure gold light that they could not open their eyes.
"If it's just a green pheasant who wants to get pure gold, even if he has other intentions, Peach Rabbit can still kill him."
"But if it's a blue pheasant who is willing to give up his life to protect others, Taotu can't do it...right?"
"Wow!!"
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs. Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and tried to stand up.
"don't want!"
Feeling his movements, Olga grabbed his cloak in panic.
How little power does a little girl have?
But it was this kind of power that made Qingzhi stagger and fall to the ground again.
Seeing this, Lovett shook his head.
"When the oil runs out and the lamp dries up, it's hard not to die."
"But because of your hard work, I will give you one last chance, former General Aokiji."
Qingzhi struggled for a moment, and after a moment he tried to catch his breath and asked: "Wha...what?"
"Submit to me, or let me destroy everything you cherish!"
Lovett said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"You should know best why I embarked on this path of killing back then... So you should know best that I regard mortals as pigs and sheep, and they are not even qualified to be regarded as enemies by me."
"There's no direct contradiction between this and your beliefs, is there?"
He does not take ordinary people seriously and has the power to kill, but he will not kill wantonly for mortals. Qingzhi's desire to protect living people and him as a necromancer are two completely different things.
and.
Aokiji's courage is not the courage of the weak, but it is also the courage of sacrifice. As a member of the Necromancy School, Lovett doesn't mind wasting this time and gives him a choice.
"Surrender?"
Qingzhi slowly clenched his fists and smiled bitterly: "Submit to a tyrant like you?"
"Yes, a tyrant who only cares about life and death!"
It's better than a tyrant who only has eyes for the Celestial Dragons, right?
Qing Zhi felt infinitely sad in his heart and asked, leaving shallow marks on the beach with his fingers.
"But you...will allow someone like me to exist?"
"Ah!"
In response, Lovett grinned and did not answer.
The living and the dead are both alien in his eyes. As a mage, he has long transcended the boring definition of life and death.
The silence was not surprising to Qing Pheasant.
After a few seconds, he seemed to have made some decision. He raised his bloody face and tried his best to see Lovett's expression clearly.
"I am willing to surrender!"
"leader……"
"Uncle?"
Ai Yin and Olga in the distance couldn't help covering their mouths and crying silently.
They knew who Qing Pheasant chose to surrender to.
It’s definitely not that he wants to live an ignoble existence!
Lovett laughed at this.
"Smart decision, trust me, you won't regret today."
After saying that, a stream of extracted life force was poured into the broken body of Qing Pheasant, nourishing the riddled internal organs.
Just when Qing Pheasant couldn't help but moan softly in comfort, Lovett's voice continued to sound.
"Then your first task is to move this thing back to Auroville."
"Can it be done?"
Squinting his eyes to look at the huge pure gold ball, to be honest, Qing Pheasant's heart was racing for a second, and his thoughts were spinning.
But he finally chose to give up and answered seriously: "Yes!"
"This is the best."
There is a gravekeeper Katakuri in the City of Auroville who is responsible for cleaning up corpses, and there is also a lighthouse keeper "Ao Pheasant" Kuzan who is responsible for guarding the lighthouse. When Lovett thought about it, the picture was quite wonderful.
