Under the Light of the Pirate

Chapter 229 Paladin Hope and Future (Two in One, 6300 words)
Night, Keos Island.

In the jungle away from the core area of ​​Keos Island, Murphys and Robin were strolling leisurely.

After Mon Carlo was "fleeing away" frightened by the "weird" gazes of Murphys and Robin, Murphys just made an excuse to give Fianna a vacation, and went shopping with Robin Keos Island.

It's just that the overly enthusiastic attitude of the residents of Keos Island made Murphys and Robin feel no date atmosphere at all.

Therefore, Murphys and Robin avoided the core area of ​​Keos Island very decisively.

As for walking in a relatively 'remote' place, will there be any danger?
Emmm...

Let's not talk about the overall law and order of Keos Island, but let's talk about the strength of Murphys and Robin.

How hard is it to trouble these two people? !

"Hey, I'm really, really curious."

"How did Mon Carlo come up with the names 'Alsace' and 'Gianna'?"

Robin held Murphys' arm, thinking of the name Mon Carlo gave to his and Monet's soon-to-be-born twins, he wanted to laugh a little.

"Uh, I don't know."

Regarding the two names given by Mon Carlo, not to mention Robin, even Murphys has the urge to complain.

'Great dutiful son' Alsace, plus 'big dutiful daughter' Jaina...

Ha ha ha ha ha.

what is this?
Double 'filial piety'?

When he heard Mon Carlo say the names 'Alsace' and 'Gianna', a sentence popped out of Murphy's mind, and he almost blurted it out to Mon Carlo.

【How about... Divide the island under your name into two parts, one part is called 'Kul Tiras' and the other part is called 'Lordaeron'? 】

However, Murphys thought about it and forgot it.

It's all about memes, flags, it's better not to set up for your friends.

After all, Murphys has created the profession of 'Paladin' now, what if there really are 'big dutiful son' and 'big dutiful daughter'? !
Do you still remember Franky who was killed by Andre the Herrscher of Assassination in the "Holy Ten Herrschers" during the "War on the Top"?

The moment Franky was killed by Andre, the sacred power in Murphy's body exploded automatically.

The reason for the outbreak of the sacred power in Murphys is because of the "fate" attached to Franky. After Franky was killed, the "fate" who was going to find a new carrier was captured by the The divine power was forcibly swallowed up.

Moreover, after the sacred power in Murphys' body devoured this "fate" with Franky as the carrier, Murphys's holy angel inheritance fed back to Murphys a new profession, the Paladin .

Since Murphys was still on the battlefield of the "top war" at that time, he did not carefully study the profession of "Paladin" that the holy angels passed on to him.

In Murphys' heart, paladins, don't understand too much.

Either be invincible and rub the hearthstone, or shout 'A Pokley'.

Being able to fight, resist and increase blood, once the cross is inserted into the ground, it is reckless to rush up.

Emmm...

Although some strange things may have been mixed in, in general, how can there be no such profession as paladins in the organizations or forces of the 'Holy Light Department'.

It's just that what Murphys didn't expect was that after the "top war" was over and Murphys and others returned to the Holy Alliance, Murphys discovered that the "Holy Knight" that the Holy Angel passed back to him and himself The 'Paladin' in my understanding is not the same.

To put it simply, the profession of 'Paladin', which was fed back to Murphys by the Holy Angel, is full of the characteristics of the Pirate World.

The Holy Angel inherited and fed back to Murphys the profession of 'Paladin'. In the process of cultivation, the power of the holy light completely replaced the armed domineering, knowledge-colored domineering, domineering-color domineering, and sword hero's sword aura. .

The power of holy light cultivated by the paladins integrates long-range attack ability, defense ability, healing ability, amplification ability and exploration ability.

Although it seems that it is much more powerful than the armed domineering, knowledge-color domineering, domineering domineering, sword aura and other abilities replaced by the power of the holy light.

However, the profession of paladin has very strict requirements for candidates.

In addition to having extremely strong physical fitness, one must also have an extremely firm belief in the Holy Light in order to successfully 'transfer' to become a Holy Knight.

It has been almost a year since the end of the 'War on the Top', and even though Murphys screened the entire Holy Alliance, he barely got around 3000 paladins.

To be specific, there are 2897 paladins who have successfully 'transferred' and 412 paladins who are still 'changing'.

No way, in the entire Holy Alliance, it is easy to find those who have an extremely firm belief in the Holy Light, and it is also easy to find those with strong physical fitness.

However, there are not so many people who must have an extremely firm belief in the Holy Light and have a strong physical fitness.

What's more, not all people who meet these two conditions want to 'transfer' to become a paladin that they have never heard of.

The most important thing is that there is a hidden condition in the 'job transfer' of paladins, which greatly limits the number of people in the holy alliance who can 'change jobs' to become paladins.

That is, all devil fruit ability users cannot 'change jobs' to become paladins.

And those paladins who have successfully 'transferred' can no longer have the ability of devil fruit.

For those paladins who have successfully 'changed jobs', even if they eat the devil fruit, they will not be able to possess the ability of the devil fruit. Instead, they will have an additional weakness of fear of sea water and sea tower stones.

Fortunately, the Holy Alliance has the existence of Kuina and Kirisiana, who can 'take out' devil fruits from other people at will.

Otherwise, the paladin who volunteered and cooperated to eat the devil fruit would be completely useless.

As for the so-called 'eight virtues' of paladins, 'humility', 'honesty', 'mercy', 'valor', 'justice', 'sacrifice', 'honor', 'soul'.

Emmm...

Reasonable, the 'eight virtues' or something, just talk to the internal members of the Holy Alliance who also believe in the Holy Light, it is completely unnecessary to speak externally.

Don't forget, one of the duties of the paladin is to 'purify' those 'infidels' outside the Holy Light.

Therefore, despite the relatively small number of paladins in Murphy's hands now, the combat power that can be unleashed by a paladin army of less than 3000 is really shocking.

There is no way, the defense is strong, and there are corresponding means for melee and long-distance attacks, and their own recovery ability is also very strong.

Although there are a lot of bells and whistles that should belong to paladins, but in the world of pirates, these existing abilities are enough.

Think about it, when the Holy Alliance is fighting with other forces, a group of paladins with high attack strength and fast recovery will start to "shave on the face" by stepping on [shave].

This style of play does not give people a way to survive.

What pleased Murphys the most was that all the paladins, as long as the 'job transfer' was successful, they would be as good as a rear admiral of the Navy headquarters in terms of strength.

How many Paladins are there under Murphys now, and how many are the Rear Admirals of the Navy?

Although these paladins cannot compare with the major generals of the Navy's headquarters in terms of command ability, in terms of combat, they are absolutely blown away by the major generals of the navy's headquarters.

As for the commander-in-chief of this Holy Knight Legion, it is the 'black wrist' Zefa, one of the twelve apostles of the Holy Alliance.

Well, that's right, Zefa also successfully 'transferred' to become a paladin.

Zefa, who already possessed the strength of an admiral, became even more perverted after he successfully 'transferred' to become a paladin.

After Zefa successfully completed the 'transfer' of the Paladin and became familiar with the power of the Paladin, Zefa had a duel with Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling.

There were not many people watching this competition, only Murphys and the 'apostles' of the Holy Alliance.

As a result of the sparring, several 'apostles' of the Holy Alliance were successfully shut down.

The reason is simple, because apart from Murphys and Robin, none of the other 'apostles' of the Holy Alliance can beat Zefa in a one-on-one situation when facing Zefa.

Even Zefa couldn't win the one-on-two match against Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling, but he couldn't lose either.

At least, until Zefa's physical strength is completely exhausted, even if Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling join forces, there is nothing they can do about Zefa.

How can such a situation prevent people from shutting themselves down? !
think about it!
Who is Whitebeard?
The strongest man in the world!
Who is Charlotte Lingling?
Steel Balloons!Born to be a destroyer!
Just a question, in this sea, except for Murphys and Robin, who are completely unclear about their strengths, who dares to say that a one-on-two battle against Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling , Guaranteed to be undefeated before the physical strength is exhausted? !

No one can do this except Zefa!
Moreover, through Zefa's description, the friends of the Holy Alliance also understand that a paladin like Zefa with the strength of the admiral level is almost immune to the influence of the overlord's domineering.

At least for now, under the joint attack of several overlord-color domineering owners of the Holy Alliance, Zefa can't feel any influence of the overlord-color domineering at all.

And those normal paladins, after being affected by the domineering aura of the overlord, the power of the holy light in their bodies will explode on their own, pulling the paladin out of the domineering aura of the overlord.

In this way, Bawangse Domineering, a sharp weapon for cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers, is equivalent to useless when facing the Paladin Legion.

In this case, Murphys simply calculated in his heart.

As long as the scale of the Paladin Legion can be expanded to 1 people, then at that time, under the leadership of Zefa, the Paladin Legion will be able to play the role of "one-shot" on the battlefield.

After all, as far as the entire Paladin Legion is concerned, the lowest strength is the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and in a sense, all members are not affected by the domineering look.

Once this kind of combat power has formed a sufficient scale, it is really possible to use the 'human sea tactics' to exhaust the top combat power among the hostile forces of the Holy Alliance to death.

To give the simplest example, take Sakaski as an example.

Sakaski's move [Big Flame] can seriously injure a paladin.

But it only took a few breaths, and this paladin who was seriously injured by the [Big Flame] was able to fight Sakaski again alive and kicking.

In this case, it's okay if the number of paladins is small, but once there are enough paladins participating in the battle, Sakaski will be very easily exhausted by the "human wave tactics".

You know, the reason why the 'human sea tactics' is not popular in the Pirate World is because of the existence of domineering and domineering, and because which top powerhouse doesn't have a group move to clear the field yet? !

But in the face of a group of paladins with rough skin and thick flesh and extremely buggy resilience, it can be said that the methods of these top powerhouses in the sea were directly abolished by half in group battles.

After all, the power required to injure a group of people is completely different from killing a group of people.

In addition, although the paladins of the Holy Alliance will not activate 'Invincible', nor will they shout 'Apocratic', but the power of the Holy Light that replaces the domineering effect of the armed color, in terms of defense, must It is far more domineering than the armed color.

Generally speaking, the emergence of paladins is equivalent to providing a new way out for pure physical fighters in the Holy Alliance.

After all, in the absence of devil fruit, paladins are still better than pure physical fighters.

If you compare paladins with devil fruit ability users, it's really hard to say who is better.

Generally speaking, with the emergence of the Paladin profession, bugs belong to bugs, but the Holy Alliance has not yet reached the level where a single profession can dominate the sea.

However, Murphys could feel that the entire power system of the Pirate World is gradually changing as he accepts more inheritance from the holy angels.

However, the source of this power system change is the Holy Light.

And the source of the holy light in this sea is himself.

In other words, no matter how much change has been made to the power system of this sea because of the inheritance from the holy angels that I have accepted, these new power systems cannot cause any harm to me.

Well……

Subtly, turn the whole world into your own back garden?

This is... really great!

……

……

"What are you thinking about?"

Under the soft moonlight, Robin held Murphys' arm and looked at Murphys curiously.

"Ah, it's just a sudden feeling that everyone has been filled with an inexplicable motivation no matter what they do every day."

Murphys turned his head and looked at Robin with a slight smile on his mouth. After expressing his emotion, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

"Yeah, everyone is full of motivation."

After hearing what Murphys said, Robin also smiled slightly, and raised his hand to smooth the ends of his hair that was blown by the evening wind.

"hope!"

"hope!"

After Murphys and Robin said the word 'hope' in unison, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Gentle moonlight, quiet jungle, only the sound of waves hitting the reef.

Looking directly at Murphy's star-like eyes, a blush gradually climbed up Robin's cheeks.

"cough……"

Coughing slightly, Robin turned his gaze to the direction of the sea.

"Hey, Murphys."

"Is there anything I can arrange for the old man with white beard?"

"Recently, the intelligence agencies have been annoyed by Marco, Bista, and Joz."

Robin, with a blushing face and slightly flickering eyes, looked at the sea not far away, and abruptly changed the subject.

"What happened to the old man?"

Regarding Robin's blunt behavior of changing the subject, Murphys smiled silently, and cooperated very well without saying anything.

Emmm...

Mainly not dare.

To be reasonable, although the shy Robin is very interesting to tease, if it is not done well, the angry Robin is not what Murphys wants to face.

According to his own experience of beautiful (miserable) good (painful) past (experience), he can very well help Murphys grasp the degree of teasing Robin.

There is no way, if you get beaten up a lot, you will always learn to 'protect' yourself.

"Well……"

Regarding Murphys' question, Robin pondered for a while, and organized the language in his mind.

"how to say……"

"It should be that the old man wants to be a grandfather, right?"

"Then, the old man started urging the marriages of several older people, including Marco, Vista, and Jozi."

"As for Marco, Bista, and Joz, they probably ran to our intelligence department to make the old man happy, and let us recommend some reliable girls."

"And then……"

"A few of them were beaten out by me."

"If you want to marry a wife, go directly to the Charlotte family."

"Our side is an intelligence department, not a blind date department."

"Marco, Bista, and Joz, they ran to the intelligence department to ask for help in finding a wife. Aren't they here to make trouble for us?"

Speaking of the latter, Robin laughed outright.

Well, I was annoyed by the behavior of Marco, Bista, Jozi and others.

"Uh--"

After listening to Robin's complaints, Murphys choked suddenly.

In my mind, I imagined the picture of the white beard urging the marriage...

Uh ~
No, no.

I can't think about it anymore, goosebumps are all over the floor.

The picture is too beautiful to accept.

"Cough...cough..."

After coughing several times in a row, Murphys barely suppressed his desire to complain crazily.

"That...this...isn't it..."

"As you know, Robin, I have been studying issues related to paladins with Mr. Zefa at the elite training camp recently."

"So..."

He hesitated for a long time, except for picking himself out, Murphys didn't say anything.

In the end, Murphys held back for a long time, and then he said dryly, "I'll talk to Marco and the others later."

Regarding Robin's complaints, Murphys really didn't know what to justify for White Beard's marriage urging behavior.

No way, since joining the Holy Alliance and his physical condition has returned to its peak state, White Beard seems to have liberated his nature.

Originally, apart from training his sons every day, White Beard would take his sons to play everywhere when he was free.

But after Mon Carlo and Monet's wedding, especially as Monet's delivery date approached, White Beard became restless.

Emmm...

Maybe Whitebeard felt that being a father is not as good as being a grandfather.

Or, White Beard feels that his stupid sons are hopeless in cultivation, and he plans to train his grandson well from an early age after he has a grandson?

Who knows exactly what White Beard thinks.

However, as Monet's delivery date approached, the enthusiasm of the members of the Holy Alliance for cultivation was getting higher and higher.

According to the name given by Mon Carlo, the birth of Alsace and Jaina is not only the birth of two little guys, but also represents the birth of a new generation of the Holy Alliance.

If you put it in the past, although the friends of the Holy Alliance will work hard to cultivate, they don't pay much attention to many things.

For example, overthrowing the world government.

Even Murphys and Robin ignored the threat and pressure of the World Government because they had the hole cards in their hands.

But in the final analysis, it is because of the mentality of Murphys and Robin that they did not regard the overthrow of the world government as a goal that must be accomplished.

And the friends of the Holy Alliance, although they don't know that Murphys and Robin have the cards that can "turn the table" in their hands at any time, but they all have the attitude of "life and death, wealth depends on heaven".

After all, what the friends of the Holy Alliance care about is the process of working together, the experience of fighting together, and the desire to move forward together.

As for the result, no one cares.

But now, Mon Carlo and Monet's child is about to be born.

Under such circumstances, the friends of the Holy Alliance suddenly realized that their current efforts and struggles are not all for themselves, but more for the better and stronger growth of the next generation.

Therefore, the friends of the Holy Alliance are not only working harder in cultivation, but even the entire battle plan against the world government is being completely revised.

In the plan against the world government formulated by the Holy Alliance before, the theoretical winning rate is about [-]%.

But now, the friends of the Holy Alliance are racking their brains trying to perfect this battle plan, striving to increase the theoretical winning rate to [-]%, [-]%, [-]%, [-]%, or even, [-]%!

In the past, the members of the Holy Alliance fought for 'dreams' and 'freedom'.

And now...

Friends of the Holy Alliance, the reason for fighting is...'hope' and 'future'!
……

Keos Island under the night, although there is no hustle and bustle in the daytime.

But the entire Keos Island exudes an atmosphere full of vitality.

Zefa led the Paladins of the Holy Alliance in the elite training camp to study the power of the Holy Light in the body.

Charlotte Lingling and White Beard were urging their children to practice, while discussing matters related to blind dates.

Although Kuina was leading troops out to fight, but during the battle, Kuina did not forget her personal cultivation.

Yuuki and Ming lay on the top floor of their own temple, tapping their fingers on the scabbard of Shinto Akira, closing their eyes and thinking about their plan against the Beast Pirates and Wano Country Nothing needs to be perfected.

Bai Xing is commanding the mermaids and murlocs in the 'Blade of the Deep Sea' under his command to transport boxes of treasures to the warehouse of the Holy Alliance.

Mon Carlo and Monet are planning the arrangement after the child is born, and they are complaining to each other about who will educate the child in the future.

……

Many people in the Holy Alliance are working hard for the 'future' and 'hope'.

Even the "Sand Sculpture Trio" of Granu, Brin and Bree are now working hard to cultivate their abilities, trying to be a salted fish that can stand up.
