The Pirate Incarnate as Thunder

Chapter 449 Prelude

Apayado, the Golden Bell.

From dusk to late night, from late night to dawn, when the light quietly emerged through the darkness, the battle between Colin and Joe finally came to an end.

bang

As the two of them punched each other in the face, they both fell to the ground. Neither Colin nor Qiao had the energy to stand up again after a long and fierce battle.

"H-huh damn it, what do you say in this situation?"

The suit on his body became tattered and covered with sand and mud. Qiao's face turned red and he squeezed out words through his teeth.

"Of course I'll keep calling."

Colin, who was not satisfied with the result, struggled to hold himself up while panting heavily.

Unfortunately, his already numb arms could not support the weight of his body. Colin once again lay on the ground. Reg often said that he would fight until he "ran out of power" and could not even use elementalization.

Now Colin has truly experienced the power provided by the Devil Fruit. In the final analysis, the user still needs to provide enough energy.

"Huha, hooha"

Amidst the bits of smoke and dust thrown up by Colin's landing, Joe gasped and laughed: "Asshole Colin, just lie down quietly, haha, you still didn't beat me this time."

Colin, who used his last bit of strength, turned his body over and gasped: "Then I won't lose, huh, huh."

"521 battles, 520 wins, 1 draw hahaha"

"It's so ugly to smile"

Colin, who originally turned his face sideways, simply turned his head and looked up at the red light that gradually illuminated the sky. In a daze, he felt as if he was back on Tallinn Island again.

When they were children, they were like this every day on the island. Qiao, this guy, usually looked carefree, but he would always accompany him to practice until the last moment.

The reason is very simple. They happened to be the youngest group at that time, and they were the first and second last ones at the end of the crane.

Joe, in order not to be the last one, worked hard with him to practice like this. I don’t know when it started. They surpassed each other in the same period. It wasn’t until they officially became CP9 that they stopped this kind of mutual interaction. Competitive competition.

Colin couldn't help laughing when he thought about the past: "Haha"

"You're a fool. It's been so many years since I've seen you. You just came and gave me such a big surprise."

Qiao rolled his eyes, feeling that his dry cough was almost burning, and his whole body was in a sore and weak overdraft feeling. It would be better if he had a big meal.

Hiss, hiss, just as Qiao just thought this, he saw a huge snake head appearing in the shadow that was gradually fading in the sunlight.

Normally, Joe would have roasted it for a feast, but now he was so frightened that his face turned green: "Hey, call the guard, Colin"

"So you're also afraid of death. That's Reg's little brother."

Seeing that it was Colin, the Lord of the Sky, he teased that kid Qiaoleg.

Shouldn't he be watching the battle?

In the excited blue light, the rich aroma of meat and wine floated together, gulu, gulu

After being stimulated by this, Qiao and Colin's stomachs growled at the same time. Reg, who was driving Thunder and steadily carrying a large table of drinks and food, quickly disappeared.

"Teacher, Brother Qiao, please use it slowly. It's time to ring the morning bell. I'll go there."

Reg, who left these words, very wisely did not look at the two of them. If they felt that his embarrassed appearance was noticed and caused any discomfort, then he would be the unlucky one.

"Then I'm welcome"

“The chicken legs are mine”

"You bastard"

"let go"

The Lord of the Sky, who was being dragged in by rustling and rustling, carefully glanced at the two people who were fighting for food: If it hadn't been so eager to hear the bells, it wouldn't have gotten close to these two vicious creatures.

咚

When the first bell rang, the two people who were pushing each other and grabbing food were stunned at the same time.

After a series of natural sounds of "dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dongdang" were sounded by Reg.

Boom, boom, boom. With the rhythmic swing of the golden clock and the broadcast of the surveillance phone bug, the entire Kingdom of Heaven was awakened at the same moment.

"The sun rises and sets once each, ah, ah, ah."

"Well, this is the bell for work and rest. Most people in the Kingdom of Heaven will live according to this way of life."

“Sounds very relaxing”

"This will make us more efficient. Although this place is not a paradise on earth, it is still possible to live and work in peace and contentment."

While eating and talking, the bells gradually subsided, and when the last chime fell, only empty plates and wine bottles were left on the table.

Qiao, who was extremely satisfied with his meal, collapsed on the ground without any image: "Let's fight next time."

"Then let's find a compromise condition, Reg. It's up to you."

"is teacher."

In Joe's slightly puzzled eyes, Reg came up and told the truth about Joey's death.

""

After hearing the cause and effect, Qiao covered his face with one hand and was speechless for a long time. "Old Qiao, the higher-ups have treated you like this, why can't you be more resentful?"

"Why didn't you say it from the beginning?"

After a long time, when his emotions calmed down, Joe complained and spoke. Colin shook his head: "This is just the last resort."

"bullshit"

Qiao, who waved to interrupt Colin, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, patted his butt and stood up: "Obviously you don't want to cause trouble for the Reg boy, but you still want to use this suitable excuse to fight with me. What a pity. Just a little bit.”

After saying that, Joe mocked the bastard Colin with a sad expression. He had tried all his tricks but still failed to win in the end.

"Ah"

Colin, who chuckled, was not angry: "Whatever you think, by the way, if you want to come, just come."

Faced with Colin's naked attempts to win over him, Qiao shook his head: "Unlike you, I spend most of my time muddle along. I don't have any necessary enemies, and I don't want to take maintaining peace in the world as my own responsibility. I just want to do it."

"What people without ambitions and short-sightedness dream of is to stay on the island and teach young people every day, without having to work hard and live a mediocre life."

Colin, who opened his mouth to add something, stared at Joe's eyes until veins popped out on his forehead, and he was about to raise his fist before he stopped: "Then let's say goodbye."

Colin turned around and waved his hand, his back stretched longer and longer under the rising sun, and he actually felt a bit desolate: "Qiao, you should have seen that if you continue to do nothing, in 10 or 20 years, the world will be so big. , but there will no longer be a place for us.”

When Colin's voice drifted away in the wind, Reg bowed seriously and said: "Brother Qiao, stop lying to yourself, why did you come this time?"

"why"

Joe, who had no reason to seek "justice" for Joey, felt that his heartbeat was a little uncontrollable. If he asked himself, what he saw and heard along the way, really didn't touch him at all?

This "Great Age of Pirates" started by Roger himself is simply too scary for many, many people, but what can he do?

"If Brother Qiao can't figure it out, go take a look in December."

"Look, you mean "World Conference""

Joe, who quickly guessed what Reg was talking about, had a look of disgust on his face: "It's a gathering place for scum like Mary Joa. I'm afraid my feet will rot if I step on it."

"Brother Qiao, it's better to hear everything than to see it. Maybe you will have the answer by then."

"you can"

Joe, who was about to say, "Don't expect me to mess with you," wisely did not continue because he remembered what Joey said: There are no absolutes in this world, only true feelings.

The concepts of good and evil in this world are all artificially determined absolutes. Instead of dwelling on them, it is better to see them with your own eyes and see if you can find some aspirations and interests in life.

After thinking about it, Joe patted Reg on the shoulder, turned and walked away from him with his back straight, and said something from a distance: "Boy, see you then."

"See you then?"

In the bedroom, Colin touched the wound on his left chest after finishing his bath. Although he hid in time, it still left some scars.

"Brother Qiao's swordsmanship is still so unconstrained."

Recalling the "Light and Shadow Slash" in which thousands of lights and shadows dispersed and gathered, Lege still vividly remembered Dao Guang's admiration. Just seeing this move, he had a strong desire to learn swordsmanship, but his reason still told him clearly: This is not The path you want to take.

"Qiao's sword is just like his people. If he works harder, he may achieve more than this."

"I hope Brother Qiao can find some joy in life this time. He can't stay in Tallinn Island for the rest of his life."

"Then we can only look at this World Conference. With Qiao's status, it is not a problem to be a bodyguard. Forget about this willful bastard, Xiaoduo should be arriving soon."

Colin came to the table, picked up his pen and started to review various important documents sent yesterday. Reg wanted to help, but Colin waved his hand: "Don't make trouble. You haven't dealt with government affairs for a long time."

"Okay, Xiaoduo, he arrived in Wano Country a few hours ago, but"

Reg, who was hesitant to speak, asked Colin to put down the pen he had just started to write. He gently pushed the glasses he had replaced: "It's just nothing."

"Now I can't contact her at any time across the Wano Country. Xiaoduo called before entering the Wano Country. She said that she saw many pirate ships, including a "horror sailboat" that I had told her to focus on observing. . "

Reg looked serious when he gave the explanation. He had to say that the Great Pirate Age was really crazy. A large number of pirates poured into the New World, and they even dared to go to scary places like Wano Country that the navy did not dare to tease: Zhao Looking at this situation, it is inevitable for Wano to accept the "baptism" of the pirate group.

"The terrifying sailboat is probably the Moriah who ate the "Shadow Fruit". "

"Well, his title is "Moonlight". There are different opinions on the specific origin. Some say that he likes to act at night, and some say that he can use the shadows illuminated by the moonlight to kill people. The most important thing is that this guy can also use shadows to attach to corpses. and control it. "

After listening to Reg's explanation, Colin frowned slightly: "Are you worried that he will go to the graves of those powerful warriors in the Land of Harmony?"

"Well, for example, the swordsmen Cyrano and Dialu, as well as the "Dragon-Slaying Samurai" Ryoma who defeated them both. Once their bodies are stolen, Wano, a country that attaches great importance to the past and present, will definitely Caused an uproar. "

"If something like this really happened, Kozuki Oden, the famous name of "Kuri", would probably have a headache to remind Xiaoduo, right?"

Colin automatically made up the information about the samurai that was provided by Crystal, and started writing again. Although they didn't talk much, there is no doubt that Kozuki Oden is a very unique and unique person: otherwise He won't be won over by Whitebeard and Roger one after another.

"Well, just to remind you, I also said hello to Xiaoduo. If something really happens, I should tell you in time during the regular contact when I am out."

"Xiaoduo probably wouldn't have spoken to you easily if it were before, maybe he would."

Colin raised his head, his eyes full of ambiguity. Reg rubbed his eyebrows: "I used to worry that she was too dependent on me, but now that she is independent, she starts to worry about gains and losses again."

"Pfft, you sound like you are a father. This is not good."

After casually criticizing, Colin comforted: "There is nothing wrong with being independent. We all see Xiaoduo's current strength. As long as we don't encounter powerful enemies like Big Mom and Kaido, there is no need to worry too much."

Speaking of this, Reg could only nod: "I hope so."

"If you are really worried, go to Wano Country for a trip."

"No, teacher, you are already busy enough. Although there have been fewer pirates coming recently, it is not time to take it lightly. What's more, there are still pirates who resent us for closing the waterway and constantly invading new territories. As well as the upcoming World Meeting."

Not to mention it was okay, but when he mentioned the current tense situation, Reg's face turned dark. Now it is no exaggeration to describe the people he killed as "a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood."

"Pirates" are creatures like this. Most of them are just newborn calves. They are not afraid of tigers. They finally have the illusion of "I can do it." These new pirates who were instigated by Roger also took advantage of the shortage of naval forces when the World Conference was held. "Smooth boat".

Not only did they run rampant in the first half of the Grand Line, but they also didn't know how to restrain themselves in the new world in the second half. They even dared to plunder the territories of Big Mom and Whitebeard.

Although the price they paid is precious lives, this crazy momentum cannot be stopped at present. In this era, "hysteria" is more suitable to describe it now.

Seeing that Reg was so sensible, Colin also lamented: "I'm so troubled with everything. After this year, things should be much better."

"Well it's like a rising tide now."

"I'm afraid that each wave gets higher than the last. If you hadn't accidentally become one of the captains of the Giant Pirates, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to occupy the Golden Lion's territory."

When Colin said this, Reg was dissatisfied: "Teacher, I obviously convinced them with my strong strength first, and then there was a mistake later."

"Hey, you kid, please stop talking nonsense to me."

After laughing and scolding, Colin waved for Reg to leave: "But you are right about your strength. Go and practice. You need to become as strong as a naval admiral as soon as possible."

"I know how to do it. Teacher, I have not done basic training for more than a year in vain. Now I have a clue of a new fighting method."

"Oh, let's hear it"

"Please allow me to keep it a secret first."

"roll."

Colin, whose appetite was whetted, was about to get up, and Reg was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. As long as he is given another 2 to 3 years, he will be able to initially master the power of "resonance".

This brand-new power, even if he only masters it a little bit, can bring about earth-shaking changes in his strength.

To put it simply, resonance can be sound: a vibrating tuning fork, for example, will cause another stationary tuning fork to vibrate simply by being close to it.

It can also be a form of movement, such as groups of soldiers lining up to cross a bridge. They only need to cross the bridge in unison to cause the bridge to crack and collapse, which requires a large amount of gunpowder to destroy.

The power of resonance can even cause roaring waves, lightning and thunder, volcanic eruptions in nature, and can even be so exaggerated that it can push celestial bodies in the universe to move in orbit, etc.

Will Reg think of this, or does it originate from Garp's fist? Maybe even he himself doesn't know: the reason why his fist is "as heavy as a mountain" is because it forms a resonance with the domineering energy in his body, and The power brought by resonance doubles as the square

There is also the art of swordsmanship pursued by swordsmen. Although he doesn’t know much about how to use a sword, he can roughly guess that a swordsman can cut mountains and seas with just one sword. This is because countless swings of the blade create a certain resonance with the sword. , coupled with the power increase of Haki, it has such huge power.

Just like what he learned in his previous life, the growth of all things depends on the sun. In other words, it can also be said: the growth of all things depends on resonance.

This is also a new path that Reg has developed through his tireless basic training, his own knowledge, and his fruitful abilities. Once it can be used anytime, anywhere, in any state: Reg is confident that even with the strength of Kaido's immortal body , and also allowed him to experience the fear of death again and again.
