Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 202

Although the first pillar was also surrounded by the illusion space, it was not affected at all.Luffy and Lu Qi, who were fighting, were temporarily interrupted by the chaotic voice from the stone bridge.Looking at the collapsed scene on the other side of the bridge and the flying vines, Lu Qi panted slightly and said, "It's an illusion again, but it doesn't look like it has any lethality."

Luffy, whose complexion has become very bad, glanced over there, the second level of steam quietly disappeared, he opened his mouth slightly and gasped for a while before whispering: "Enke just doesn't want to kill people, those illusions are more Low-level ones, just get them into the sea instead of directly causing physical damage to them..."

"You know a lot about illusion."

"Heh," Luffy just let out a low laugh, ignoring his tired body and turning on the second gear again.The billowing steam made him gasp even more uncomfortably, but he didn't care about this little thing, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist into a fist to aim at Lu Qi standing there.

"However, you don't look like you can last long, you can go over there as soon as you solve it!" Lu Qi, who is sure of winning, directly raised his right foot and swung his right foot like a big bird. Flying in the direction of Luffy, "Lanjiao-Kaibird!!"

Bending down to avoid the blow, Luffy gritted his teeth and rushed forward, obviously much slower than at the beginning.Although Lu Qi was also seriously injured, his physical strength was still abundant. In contrast, Lu Fei gradually fell into a disadvantage again.

In the distance, seven warships parked on the crystal.The sailors had all gathered on the side near the Bridge of Hesitation, but the scene seen from their side was completely different from what the people on the bridge felt.In their view, a big white snake appeared suddenly, throwing away three warships, and some sailors including Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel jumped onto the bridge and surrounded everything on the bridge, then the big snake disappeared, and then The entire Bridge of Hesitation disappeared without a trace, including the detached first pillar and the escort ship.

Seeing this miraculous scene, the slightly younger sea soldier was full of panic, but he still tried his best to stand calmly and wait for the order.The remaining four lieutenant generals of Tumo Ling stood on the strings of the boat, wrinkled and looking in the direction of the Bridge of Hesitation.

"The breath is very disordered, but there are no casualties..." Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said in a deep voice, "It seems that she deliberately did not block the breath, so that people outside can know what happened inside, but what is the reason? ?”

"This time she should have sensed the government's plan, so she didn't kill her so hard. She wanted to make the Navy show mercy to the Straw Hat Pirates..." Lieutenant General Ghost Spider looked over there calmly with his arms folded, and then He ordered the sailors behind him, "Prepare for shelling, aim at the sky above the Bridge of Hesitation. Forcibly break the enchantment of illusion!"

"Yes!!" The sailor who received the order responded loudly, and immediately carried out mortars, cannons and the like in an orderly manner, and all the turrets behind the warship were aimed at the sky.

"attack!!"

........................

"I told you that I hate shelling~~~" Encore unlocked the illusion while the navy was shelling, and looked at the shells that exploded above the Bridge of Hesitation and the scattered smoke with a smile, "Although it's not very good-looking, But it's still fireworks..."

"Enke/Little cutie/Little ghost, are you alright?" Sauron and the others immediately asked with concern when they saw Anke appear.

Anke, who was looking up at the sky, looked at them suspiciously, "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Where did you go just now? It feels like you haven't been around for a while..." Sauron walked to the next door to the Encore, carefully guarding against the sailors who had already landed on the bridge.

"Oh, I have a very keen sense. I just went over to see what's going on with Nami and the others~" Anke just pulled up the hem of her skirt, and after answering Sauron's question, she looked at the approaching glider The dozens of sailors led by Lieutenant General Shu said, "I said, although this time I am merciful and just throw them into the sea. But if I come again, I don't know if I will tear someone into two with a slip of my hand." half oh~"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel Shu hesitated for a while, looked at the sailor behind him who was not thrown down, and could only stop there, "What else do you want to do?"

"What do you do? If you are in a good mood, let you live, that's all." Anke looked slyly at the sailor in front, then at Chi Yue in his hand, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the first One pillar, 'Luffy, it seems that there is no way to deal with that cat.Then we have to speed up here...'

Lieutenant General Weasel had been carefully studying Anke's expression, and when he saw the flash of killing intent on her face, he immediately rushed forward with a knife, but he didn't expect Sauron, who was also on guard against them, to block it with a knife.Not paying attention to the scarred boy in front of him, Lieutenant General Weasel easily separated Sauron's knife and threw him behind him, and continued to rush forward.

When Sauron was about to rush up, he was entangled by those sailors.A burly sailor who stopped Sauron with a smile and said: "If you want to go to the witch, you should defeat us first, Nonoroya. Those of us who can pass those illusions are above the colonel level !"

"I don't care what level you are, don't get in the way!!" Sauron, who was completely in the mood to talk to these guys, just wanted to rush to the front. Unfortunately, the colonel level and major general level sailors are a bit difficult to deal with, and there are still five or six soldiers around. with him.

"Crystal - Forest of Needles!", after reaching out to the ground and calling out a large number of sharp crystals to aim at the rushing sailors, Encore turned back and said to the people behind: "Luffy's current situation is not very good, you look, there is Tell me what's going on!"

"Ah, oh!!", the sniper king, who stepped back a few steps and stood at the end of the bridge, just wanted to agree, when he saw Sanji and Frankie standing on both sides of the Encore, and immediately took the The slingshot fired a gunpowder bomb, "Leave the cover to me! Kill - Gunpowder Star!!".

"Boom!", the gunpowder exploded, very good.The problem is that Encore and the navy are blocked by a large clump of crystal needles, and the gunpowder bombs exploded gloriously on the crystal.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lieutenant General Weasel immediately chopped the crystal in front of him and rushed to Encore, "I caught you, witch!!"

"Who will be caught by you~" Facing the knife approaching him, An Ke remained unmoved, and pressed his left hand, which had completely turned into a crystal, on the ground covered with crystals.When Sanji and Franky were about to stop them, they saw crystals all over the floor hovering and stabbing at Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel who was about to jump off, while Anke held Chiyue behind his right hand and rushed towards the rising crystal Lieutenant General of the flying squirrel.

"We're going too! Franky!" Greeting the people behind, Sanji quickly smashed the crystal in front of him, and faced the sailors who rushed over.

"Leave it to me! My uncle is in super good condition this week!!",
"Million - Gunpowder Star! Gunpowder Star!", the sniper king standing at the back kept aiming at the surrounding sailors. Although his face was sweating nervously, his hands did not tremble, "Leave the cover to me!" '

Standing on the crystal full of spikes, Enke looked at Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, who was kicking the air and staying in mid-air, smiling like a normal person, "You, you're pretty good~~ No devil fruit But you can achieve the position of lieutenant general, which means that your swordsmanship is very good~~"

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel only stared at the red demon knife held by Anke for a while before returning: "You are similar. I thought that the witch would only use the ability of reincarnation eyes and crystal fruit. I didn't expect to use it again." Swordsmanship, besides, that knife of yours...is a demon sword..."

"Hehe, you really deserve to be a lieutenant general. For your cleverness, let me tell you a precaution~~" After a pause on purpose, Anke suddenly pointed Chiyue around the lieutenant general of the flying squirrel cunningly. , "If the opponent is still me next time, don't just keep your eyes on me, and don't be distracted by talking to me. Because I am very weak now, and I can fight you with tricks~~~"

"Could it be..." Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel who heard this sentence just wanted to escape from the place where he was standing, but found that his right arm had been pierced by a sharp object.At the same time, the mist around him lingered, and after unnaturally dissipating, he found that there were crystal thorns all around him, pointing straight at him like an awl.Quickly cutting off the surrounding crystals to stay away from that area, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel did not look at his scratched arm, but turned his gaze to the bridge deck that had quieted down at some point.

The part of the stone bridge close to the first pillar has been completely covered by crystals. The sharp crystal thorns are uneven and dazzling, but they are all growing like life.Because they don't know when a crystal will emerge from where, all the people below dare not act rashly.Moreover, the color of the crystals is all black, obviously covered with armed domineering, even if there are devil fruit abilities among the sailors left on the bridge, they can't move casually, after all, all the crystals are tightly attached to the sailors skin, especially the exposed neck.

"I advise you not to move around casually. We just need to wait for Luffy to get rid of the cat, and then a group of people leave Judiciary Island, that's all. You should have heard about my ability. If I want to kill you, just now There are a lot of opportunities. You should know that I am not afraid of whether you have a large number of people. If I don’t mind rushing forward again, I don’t mind another massacre, and this time I don’t believe that you can stop me~~” , Anke just smiled, with the innocence of a child but full of the gloom of a demon.Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel stared at the child opposite him coldly, but a drop of cold sweat was streaming down his face nervously.All the crystal thorns on the bridge are alive again, ready to prick into them at any moment.Sauron, who stood there motionless, looked at the crystal thorns reflecting the sunlight in front of their eyes, and swallowed nervously. Although they knew that these crystal thorns would not hurt them, they felt uncomfortable just looking at the crystal thorns. .

On the far side of the warship, the four lieutenant generals were still standing on the strings of the ship, frowning and looking at the bridge of hesitation covered with black crystals, and did not give orders for a long time.The sailors who were brought into the sea by the illusion also climbed onto the crystal land, lined up neatly and pointed their guns at the bridge of hesitation with serious expressions.The sailors on the warship were all so nervous that their faces were covered with cold sweat, and the hands holding the guns couldn't help shaking.It's too scary, this is the ability of the legendary witch...

"That...Lieutenant General Stolberg..." A captain who seemed to be a little higher rank asked the person standing in front in a low voice, "What should we do now? Should we attack? Or fire?"

"Nico Robin and the Witch are on it. They are the only two characters left in the world who can awaken ancient weapons. If they attack, they will be troublesome if they make any mistakes."

"However, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel seems a bit overwhelmed..."

"He should have a solution. The problem now is that if we make casual moves, many people will be killed and injured, and all of them may be from our side. The opponent is too troublesome..." Huoshaoshan Admiral scratched a little annoyed Scratching his head, "Really, we want us to stop her, but not hurt her. The tool given is that it will blind her as soon as we make a move. Trouble..."

"Lord Lieutenant General!!", suddenly a little sea soldier rushed over with a phone bug the size of a basketball, stood behind the strings of the boat and saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord Lieutenant General, it's Lord Tiger Shark's phone number!! "

"It's finally here," he jumped off the ship's side and took the receiver. Before Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan could say anything, he simply passed an instruction.The lieutenant general, who was a little hesitant when he heard the order, hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you say you want to capture the Straw Hat Boys alive?"

"'Hehehehe~~'", the gentle and laughing voice was full of teasing, the young man's voice was as gentle as jade but with a lingering coldness, "'Master Lieutenant General, our task is to catch the little witch .The others have nothing to do with us~~ In short, we just need to do it. She doesn't die so easily and with her there, those pirates will have a hard time. You can use up her energy first, and let's take a look at the situation first. Do more.'"

"I see..." After hanging up the phone, the lieutenant general looked at the bridge of hesitation covered with crystals, then at the first pillar that was constantly cracking, and gestured to the sailor behind him.A sailor immediately stood on the strings of the boat with a large white chess piece, shook it three times to the left and drew a circle.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, who was still in a stalemate with Encore, saw the signal from the warship, hesitated for a moment, jumped back to the place where there was no crystal on the bridge, and then retracted the knife.Anke also looked back at the direction of the warship. Although he didn't understand what the waving flag meant, it was definitely not a good thing.The moving crystal thorns slowly point to the flying squirrel crystal. The "creaking" sound of the friction between the crystals is abrupt on the quiet bridge deck. The crystal reflecting the sunlight is shining brightly, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Not avoiding the crystal thorn pointing at him, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel calmly looked at the little girl whose upper body and lower body had melted into the crystal, "Untie the crystal first, I'll take them out of here."

"Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel! Don't give in to this devil! Don't worry about us, you must catch her!!", a sailor shouted loudly, although the crystal thorns in front of him would take his life at any time, but he still looked The look of seeing death as home, and the other sailors are the same.

"Shut up, this is an order!" After a cold glance at the dozen or so sailors trapped in the forest of crystal needles, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel looked up at the silent Encore, "Your method should be very It's easy to know what will happen next. I'm afraid it's because of this that you didn't kill a sea soldier. You don't have much time left, so let's take advantage of this time to talk..."

Quietly looking at the people below, Anke actually came down from the crystal obediently.At the same time, all the crystals on the bridge faded from black to pink, cracked and shattered, and piled up all over the ground.After finally being liberated from the forest of needles, the sailors looked at each other in blank dismay, then gradually backed up behind Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel.Looking at the smiling Encore again, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel flew back to the warship with the 'moon steps', and the rest of the sailors gave the pirates a hard look and followed closely behind.

"What? Did you go back because you were scared? I haven't beaten enough..." Frankie looked at the sailors who had all run away with his hands on his hips, and kicked the crystal on the ground in dissatisfaction.

"How is that possible? The navy saw that the pirates fled back instead of catching them. This is completely unreasonable." Sanji looked in the direction of the warship vigilantly, "Although I just verified the ability of the little cutie, it is really very difficult to resist." Strange. And the conversation between the smelly tall man and the cutie just now always feels disturbing..."

"According to what that person said just now, they are planning to get rid of us all at once. Maybe a temporary retreat is just part of their plan. And, most importantly, what that guy said just now seems to mean a farewell party before the death penalty..." After Sauron took back the three knives, he frowned slightly and looked at Enke who stood motionless in front.

"The warship doesn't do anything over there, but it feels very disturbing..." The sniper king tremblingly looked back at the warship parked there quietly and the dark sailors on it. Suddenly, his eyes focused on At the first pillar that was also quiet, "Luffy is fighting the guy with the pigeon, shouldn't there be any movement...", the sniper king who felt puzzled and uneasy slowly approached the direction of the broken bridge.

Anke, on the other hand, just stared straight at the open door of justice with a dazed expression.She knew that the Straw Hat Pirates would undergo earth-shaking changes and even perish... and all of this was caused by her, the 'deputy captain'.Biting her lower lip sadly, An Ke didn't know what to do for the first time, although she had already made a corresponding plan, and she was still confident in the early days.But the chess game has been set, and it's time to start the game, but she is undecided.Just because this time, there are few mistakes, and I will bury the members of the Straw Hat Pirates at any time, and bury the person I want to protect the most and the person I don't want to hurt...

"What are you thinking?" Sauron walked to Encore, but found that Encore didn't respond to his words at all. Facing something difficult to decide is also like parting from life and death.Reminiscent of the words of Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel just now, Sauron suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Why did he always feel that the child standing beside him was as fragile as pink broken crystals, and would disappear at any time? He bent over sharply and grabbed Anke's right hand.

The slightly rough force brought Anke back to his senses. He looked at the big hand holding him strangely, and then looked at Sauron's nervous face along the arm, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Anke's calm expression, Zoro suppressed the increasing worries in his heart, let go of his hands and pretended to be calm, and said, "No, I'm just wondering why you keep looking at that door..."

"Just curious about how it was built..." With a sigh, Anke turned and walked towards the broken bridge, stepping on the broken crystals all over the ground without making a sound.

After pursing his lips tightly and looking at the open door for a while, but nothing passed through, Sauron turned around and followed behind Encore, the sound of stepping on the crystal was a bit ear-piercing.Franky and Sanji were discussing something, and stopped talking when they saw them approaching. After Encore and Zoro passed by, Sanji suddenly turned and walked towards the direction of the escort ship.

The Sniper King had been looking in the direction of the first pillar, and suddenly he tremblingly took off the mask he was wearing, and looked at it excitedly.

Feeling that something was wrong, Anke and the others walked forward quickly, and their expressions became serious when they saw the scene of the first pillar.On the messy platform, Luffy was lying on the ground invincible. Luffy, who was still using the second gear, was constantly emitting steam from his body. Blood flowed from his injured head, and he coughed up a few traces of blood from time to time.And the leopard man Lu Qi who was standing there was also injured a lot, his skin with yellow and black spots was stained with a lot of blood, he stood there panting slightly.

"Lu... Luffy...", after trying to take a deep breath, Usopp yelled, "Stand up, Luffy!!!"

"Even Luffy is a bit difficult to deal with, the guy with the pigeon is really the strongest in cp9." Slowly pulling out the knife, Zoro looked at the cat coldly, "Want to help, vice-captain? "

"No, everyone stays here. That's Luffy's opponent. As long as he breaks through his limit, Luffy can defeat that cat. You all show me!" Anke said coldly, and walked forward A few steps and watched quietly.Holding Chiyue in his right hand, he swayed it down naturally, and then the blood-red demon knife began to slowly merge with his thin right hand, and finally retracted.

"What the hell are you talking about?? He's obviously no match for Lu Qi now. If he doesn't pass, the Straw Hat Boy will die!" Franky roared excitedly, wanting to run forward as he spoke.

"Don't meddle, Frankie!!" Anke waved his hand back, and a large number of crystals knocked Frankie into the air.Unexpectedly, Encore was stunned by the other people who shot at Frankie, and looked back at Frankie who flew behind and hit the crystal.Zoro looked at the red tip of the knife that disappeared from Encore's palm, stopped looking back, and looked straight at Luffy lying there with his lips tightly pressed, "Get up quickly, Luffy...there is still more to come." It's a scary thing...'

"What the hell are you doing? Encore??", Usopp shouted loudly after regaining his senses: "Now Luffy is seriously injured! But the cat is also seriously injured, as long as we go there, we can defeat him ! Back with Luffy!!”

"Luffy said that his opponent is his opponent! Moreover, if he does not exceed his limit, he will never be able to become stronger! Since he chooses to protect others, even if there is purgatory ahead, he will have to go through to become stronger. Strong! This is an unavoidable trial, only people who have been in close contact with death countless times will truly become stronger!"

Hearing Encore's words, Usopp was silent and clenched his fists.Although he knew the truth of what Enke said, but it was a bit hard to accept to watch his partner fall in front of him.After hesitating for a while, Usopp suggested in a low voice: "Then, it seems that Luffy can't hold on now, and the injury seems to be fatal, or we..."

"Shut up!", after glancing at Usopp coldly, Anke walked directly along the steel bars of the stone bridge, and when he reached the end, he stopped and looked down at the two people over there .Lu Qi had already noticed the people standing by the broken bridge, stared at them fiercely, and slowly started to walk in, like a cheetah about to attack.

"Wait...wait a minute..." Luffy, who tilted his head towards the direction of the stone bridge, looked at Lu Qi, and weakly stopped him, "We... haven't finished fighting..., where are you going..."

"Heh, I'm not interested in my opponent's defeat." Without turning his eyes to Luffy lying there, Lu Qi licked the blood from his lips and looked at Encore standing on the steel bar with excitement, "Now, Finally, I have time to fight the witch..."

"Stop! Cough..." Luffy, who became emotional, couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood, breathing hard, trying to stop Lu Qi, but he couldn't get up.

Anke just looked at Luffy lying on the ground quietly, and didn't say anything. It seemed that there were only two of them left in the world, their eyes were facing each other, but one looked slightly dilapidated and dilapidated while the other concealed distress. With tears in my eyes.

Staring at the boy lying there silently for a while, Anke slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "Luffy, you said that you want to become the One Piece. Then before you achieve your goal, you should not Fall down. You are the captain, and behind you is your partner. If you are not strong enough, the person you want to protect will be the one who gets hurt... So, stand up. Luffy..."

The soft voice seemed to dissipate at any moment, but it was conveyed to the ears of the scarred teenager lying there.Anke gently raised his right hand, and a blue butterfly was forming on his outstretched index finger. He opened his eyes slightly and watched the butterfly waving its wings on his finger slowly soaring into the air and flying towards the first pillar. That's right, but I still can't bear to see you get hurt...'

Seeing the butterfly, Lu Qi stopped on the spot vigilantly, but found that the butterfly just spared him and rested on Luffy's hand leisurely, and then disappeared as if evaporated by the steam, leaving a faint red spot there .Luffy exhaled softly, struggled to stand up slowly, his body that was about to fall at any time was full of strength because of his firm belief, "I want to go back with my friends, I must not fall down here... '

"What the hell did that butterfly just do! It's really troublesome!!" Lu Qi, who was a little impatient, looked at Lu Qi who stood up again, raised his right hand and bent his index finger, the black leopard claw nails were burning red like fire, Then he flicked his finger, "Flying finger gun-fire!!"

Quickly dodging the incoming finger gun, Luffy roared and rushed forward with his fists clenched, "Wow!! Rubber rubber-pistol!!"

Dodging the punch with difficulty, Lu Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Luffy who suddenly burst into strength but his eyes were loose. It was clear that he was just holding on.But Lu Qi himself was also seriously injured, and now he is almost holding on, not to be outdone, facing Lu Fei.

Seeing the flames of war ignited there again, Anke just pursed his lips slightly and kept paying attention to Luffy's situation.Although she passed some of her own strength to Luffy just now, it was a drop in the bucket. It could only alleviate Luffy's physical exhaustion, and the next thing was still up to him.

"Say not to intervene, but you still can't just watch Luffy being beaten so badly, you awkward brat..." Zoro looked at Encore's back and smiled slightly, but then his eyes focused on her On the right hand that has nothing, he just saw the red demon knife sinking into his small palm. Although he knew that An Ke was the host of the demon knife, he still felt a little unbelievable, "An Ke is a human being. It is impossible to seal the demon sword in one's own body, at least the price required is definitely very high...'

Putting the mask he had been wearing back into his bag, Usopp looked at Luffy over there worriedly, and then he walked up to Sauron and muttered, "Zoro, do you really need to take action? Luffy seems to be affected. fatally injured..."

"Encore has his own plan. Although Luffy's injury will be a little more serious, he will definitely not be in danger of life." Zoro frowned and looked at the back of the little girl standing in front, and then looked up to behind the first pillar The seven warships staggered apart found that the warships that had been quiet all this time had already taken action.

"'[-] lieutenant colonels and senior colonels lead [-] sailors in small boats to deploy in the waters of the Bridge of Hesitation; [-] lieutenant colonels and senior colonels lead [-] sailors to deploy in the crystal area; major generals stay on standby to rush to the bridge of hesitation at any time; The artillery aimed the fort at the Bridge of Hesitation!!" Thousands of sailors carried small boats to the waters near the sea, and the fort also re-aimed, aiming straight at the Bridge of Hesitation, and there were also many cannons placed on the warships .In addition, hundreds of sturdy figures stood on the strings of the ship, and five lieutenant generals stood on the edge of the fort closest to the bridge, waiting for orders.An atmosphere of a decisive battle permeated the surroundings, making people subconsciously tense up.

"It seems that it was just a competition, and now the navy is going to come for the real thing," Frankie frowned, watching the sailors paddling their small boats in a 20-meter radius around the bridge of hesitation, completely surrounding the bridge of hesitation Inside.A thousand sailors were also neatly lined up on the crystallized land, with portable artillery batteries in the front, and infantrymen with guns standing behind, pointing their black muzzles at the people on the bridge.

"'Blow up the escort ship! Everyone is ready to fight at any time! The start time is 1 minute after the end of the first pillar battle! Everyone, hold the determination to die!!'"

Hearing the announcement from the warship, all the sailors in the formation shouted resolutely without hesitation: "Yes!!"

"Oops! Nami/Grandma and the others are still over there!!" After hearing the announcement, Sauron and Frankie turned around and quickly ran towards the escort ship.However, in the next second, there was a "Boom!", and a violent explosion came from the direction of the escort ship, followed by billowing smoke.

"It's a lie... why did it suddenly..." Usopp looked at the billowing smoke in disbelief, shivered for a while and then looked at Encore who was still standing there, "Encore! Bin and their escort ship was bombed!! What to do?!"

As if he didn't hear Usopp's words, Enke still watched the battle between Luffy and Luki quietly, and the different pupils who had no emotion watched the straw hat-wearing man who was about to fall down at any time but kept fighting. The young man seemed to want to engrave every movement of him in his mind.
