People in One Piece Four Emperors are clones

Chapter 172 Silver Axe
"Because you've become someone else for a long time, can't you even hold a knife?"

Under the sword fight, Karna's opponent was unexpectedly weak, leaving him speechless.

"Weak? If I hadn't been injured by Karp back then, I would have killed ten of your navy!"

Hearing Karna's contempt, Bartholomew said angrily.

"Are you still not planning to tell your purpose?" Karna's intuition told him that there seemed to be some kind of secret behind Bartholomew's actions.

Reminiscent of this action, there seems to be a mysterious force behind the scenes.

Could it be that Lockes' remnants are trying to revive it again?
Although most of the Rocks Pirates back then were a group of vicious gangs seeking profit, but since there were freaks like Whitebeard who valued family.

With Lockes' charismatic personality, it seems not impossible that some loyal remnants would try to stir up trouble after his death.

While waving the two knives, wounds appeared on Bartholomew's body, and he swung the knives with difficulty to parry.

"If you don't say anything, go to hell with your secret!!" Seeing Bartholomew gritting his teeth, Karna couldn't help feeling angry.

"Fire Remnant Burning Hell!" A powerful slash shattered all of Bartholomew's defenses.

The powerful vitality brought by the animal insect fruit could not save Bartholomew. With a handful of blood beads, his heart was pierced and he collapsed to the ground.

The Rocks annihilation battle back then seemed to hide too many secrets, causing the World Government to even erase the existence of the Valley of the Gods and Roger from the map, only claiming that Garp destroyed the Rocks Pirates.

The water in it seemed to be very deep, and since Bartholomew was unwilling to reveal the secret in his heart, Karna simply sent him to hell directly.

Neither Dorag nor Heinz stopped Karna's sudden assassination, and they were even more unwilling to get involved as they knew something about the deeds of the year.

It is the best thing to make Bartholomew disappear in the long river of history.

Looking at Bartholomew, who was breathing weakly and gradually losing vitality, Karna had an idea.

Launch the new talent ability copied from BIG MOM, soul search, and start to capture Bartholomew's soul fragments that are about to dissipate.

A miraculous scene happened. When Karna activated his innate ability, his eyes seemed to be able to see the soul fragments floating from Bartholomew's body, which were pierced by an invisible big hand.

The big hand grabbed some of the fragments and began to read the memory fragments.

And the memory information that was read made Karna, who was careless at first, suddenly change his complexion.

New World, Helena Island.

During the Sengoku crusade against BIG MOM, the fleet led by Vice Admiral Tsuru was stationed here to monitor the movements of pirates in other sea areas.

"Blu Bleu, Bleu Bleu"

The sound of the phone bug alarmed He, who was immersed in his work, and when he connected to the phone bug, He's face became extremely ugly.

Then, a piercing siren sounded over the base on Helena Island. A few minutes later, almost all the staff of the entire base were mobilized and rushed towards a certain direction.

"Master, is there something wrong with the General of the Warring States Period for such an urgent dispatch?" Tiya, who was dressed in a military uniform and looked heroic, appeared beside He, and asked strangely.

In the past six months of following Crane, Tia seems to rarely see panic, anxiety and other emotions on Crane's face.

But this time, the crane, who was suddenly dispatched urgently, seemed to have a trace of uncertain anxiety in his eyes, which made Tia extra curious.

"It's not the Warring States side, it's Socotra Island." There was a hint of worry in Crane's voice.

"Socotra Island?" Tia, who has been in the staff for half a year, is smart and studious, and has already memorized all the situation and maps of the new world in her mind.

But she was sure that she had never heard the name of the island that Crane mentioned.

"The call just now was a call for help from Socotra Island. We are the branch closest to them, and we were the first to receive the call for help." Crane glanced at Tia who was puzzled, and explained:
"Socotra Island is an island that does not exist on the sea charts. Only the navy and the top level of the world government know the existence of this island."

"An island that isn't on the map?" Tia muttered to herself, feeling a sense of mystery from Crane's words.

"This island hides a great secret, so the government concealed its existence." Crane didn't say much.

"Has Socotra Island been attacked?" Tia thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no other reason besides this one.

"A pirate force is eyeing the secrets of the island. Somehow, they discovered the location of the island and are leading troops to attack. The base on the island is almost unable to support it, so they sent out a call for help."

"How long will it take to get there?" Hearing that the matter is of great importance, Tia's face is also slightly solemn.

"According to the speed of the warship, it will take half a day."

Crane looked at the sea in the distance, frowning slightly, and now he could only hope that the defense force of the base on Socotra Island would be strong enough to last until they arrived.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Yes!"

Half a day later, the fleet led by Crane rushed to Socotra Island, which does not exist on the map, without stopping.

When they arrived, they saw several huge pirate ships, firing shells non-stop on the edge of the island, bombing the naval base on the edge of the island.

The navy stationed on the island, relying on the defense of the base, kept fighting back.

Under repeated bombings, the defense of the base finally reached its limit, a corner of the city wall was completely destroyed, and a tide of pirates poured into the base.

"Quick, pin down the pirate ship, and the rest follow me to rescue!"

Crane shouted coldly, jumped onto the shore with Tia, and rushed towards the base.

Seeing the reinforcements from the navy coming outside, the remaining pirates clamored and stepped forward to intercept them.

"Starburst Meteorite."

"Mind cleansing."

Tia and Crane moved at the same time, and the sword lights flashed, and the pirates either fell to the ground after being hit by the sword, or became a thin piece directly.

Soon the two cleared a passage and rushed directly into the base.

Entering the base, as far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere in the base, including pirates and marines, and the rest are all fighting together.

The highest officer of the base, a vice admiral, was already in danger under the attack of a tall pirate, and his figure was crumbling.

"Finger Gun·Ban Lan!"

Seeing this, the crane instantly appeared between the two in the battle, repelling the invading enemy with one move.

Seeing who came, the Vice Admiral was overjoyed: "Great, Vice Admiral He, you have finally arrived."

"Hubert, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, they took the dynamite rock and left behind."

"What?" Hearing Hubert's words, Crane's expression finally changed.

"Hahaha, are there a few more dying marines?" The tall pirate who was repelled by the crane grinned and strode forward.

"It's you, Silver Axe!! Didn't you die with Lockes?!" Seeing the true face of the big pirate, He blurted out.

"Huh? Do you know Lao Tzu? That's why I want to keep you!"

A tall, bald man with tattoos all over his upper body, when he saw Crane recognized his identity, his eyes immediately showed a fierce look, and he swung a giant ax more than three meters long in his hand, hitting the three of them on the head.
