"What's wrong with me?"
Hancock looked at Blackbeard and the others who were escaping hastily with a confused look on his face, feeling that the scene in front of him was a bit funny.
Like a herd of frightened wild boars.
Moreover, she was clearly in the Holy Land Marie Joa and had just been forced to eat the sweet fruit by the Celestial Dragons. How could she return to Nine Snakes Island?
Where were Marigold and Sundasonia?
in addition,
How did Nine Snake Island become like this?
There are broken eaves and dead soldiers everywhere, and there are no familiar faces in my memory!
"Sure enough, in addition to the sweet fruit, even the memory was taken away?"
Luo frowned slightly, having some guesses in his mind.
Darice's will was implanted into Hancock's body at the same time as the Sweet Fruit, which means they have a common memory.
As the stronger party, when Daris left, she also took away the memories shared by the two of them!
"Hancock."
"Um?"
Hancock turned to look at Luo with confusion on his face.
Who is this guy?
Also, why does he know his name!
"It's time for us to go home."
"go home?"
"Now that we've woken up from the dream, it's time for us to return to Dressrosa, which is our home!"
After saying that, without waiting for Hancock to answer, a princess picked up Hancock and walked slowly towards the Heart Pirates' ship.
The goal has been achieved, and there are not many people left on Nine Snake Island. There is no need to stay!
"Wait~"
Hancock's thoughts were confused and she was struggling, but she was looking forward to escaping from this place that was completely different from her memory, like purgatory.
Coupled with the fact that he had turned back into a child mentally, he didn't dare to resist for a while, so he could only let Luo hold him and leave.
"Why is this place like this?" After quieting down, Hancock asked cautiously, feeling full of uneasiness in his heart.
Although there are no familiar people anymore, in her memory, Nine Snake Island is still her hometown.
In addition, she seemed to have seen the figure of Granny New in the sudden glance just now, which was exactly the same as the reward notice from decades ago!
"War." Luo replied softly.
Seeing Hancock's current state, Luo had mixed feelings in his heart.
Although this battle solved Darius's problem and brought Hancock back to life, it also deprived her of her memory and killed her mentally.
This was the best outcome. Dalis did not choose to die together and gave up her body.
At the same time, it is also the worst result. For humans, losing memory means losing everything. It is no different from death!
What makes Luo most irritated is that he can't tell whether he knows Hancock or the departed Daris.
"...Can I come back again?" For some reason, Hancock felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest.
Especially the woman who transforms into a giant snake to fight, she always feels very similar to her sister Marigold!
"Lord Snake Princess!"
"Lord Snake Princess!"
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, the soldiers of the Nine Snakes Pirates who were standing in front of the two of them knelt on one knee and made way for a passage.
I saw that each of these soldiers' eyes were red and they were holding onto the weapons in their hands.
Nothing can be done!
Because they were too weak, that's why Lady Snake was captured, that's why Nine Snakes Island was torn apart, that's why they could only watch their king being taken away by the enemy!
"As expected of the captain, he not only captured the Empress, but also beat up the Four Emperors Blackbeard and fled!"
"So it seems that we, the Heart Pirates, have the last laugh."
"Hahahaha, the whole sea will boil. If the emperor is not the strongest, we will become the new four emperors!"
"Long live the Captain!!!"
Unlike the Nine Snakes Pirates who were gloomy and gloomy, the pirates of the Heart Pirates raised their arms and shouted, their faces flushed with excitement.
This is what they saw with their own eyes, and this is how they understand it!
Ignoring the noisy noise around him, Luo just looked at Hancock with a calm face:
"Will be back."
"Wait until the day peace truly comes!"
…
the other side,
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"
Blackbeard knelt on the deck of the pirate ship, slapping his hands on the ground.
Daris's speed was too fast, giving him no time to react. Furthermore, he clearly felt that his consciousness was beginning to blur.
"Captain!" Poison Q looked at the somewhat crazy Blackbeard in fear, feeling his heart jump into his throat.
This was the first time he had seen his captain in such panic, even when he faced Whitebeard, he had never been like this before.
More importantly, who knows which personality will take over the captain's body next, and if it's Joey Boy, they're dead!
at the same time,
Even if Blackbeard temporarily gains dominance, the Joeyboy inside him is still a time bomb.
"How can I lose? I'm Blackbeard!"
Bang——
Blackbeard suddenly stood up and punched out with a shocking halo.
In an instant, the sea surface rolled up into sky-high waves, and the shock wave spread all the way, splitting the sea in front of it into two halves!
"Noisy!"
"Little guy, calm down!"
"It's so ugly, this look!"
"Hey, do you want me to kill you?"
Four voices came out at the same time, and Blackbeard's body suddenly froze in place, and cold sweat flowed down unconsciously.
You know, before Dalis' will invaded, those personalities were silent and would only be awakened when he needed them.
but now……
"It's D, idiot!" Daris' voice came from Blackbeard's mouth, with a tone full of disdain.
Mental infection is Joyboy's specialty, especially when there is only willpower and no physical protection, it is simply a piece of cake!
Except for the blood descendants of Joyboy, all 'D's are caused by spiritual infection, so there are Ds of different races.
There was a time when he wanted to use this method to assimilate everyone's will in order to achieve the purpose of rule.
In the end, it was discovered that even if everyone has a similar will, there will still be countless differences, just like now!
"Little guy, give your body to me. Only I can help you. In terms of will, I will not lose to anyone."
"I will help you realize all your dreams and ambitions!"
An old and majestic voice sounded. Just the sound made people couldn't help but act on his words, as if what he said was the truth.
"Shut up!!!" Blackbeard shouted, his angry roar rising into the sky, and the whole world fell silent.
This smelly old man actually attacked at this moment and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
He is Blackbeard, how could he give his dream to others!
"Thief hahahaha~"
Suddenly, as if he noticed something, Blackbeard looked up to the sky and laughed.
Because of Dalis' arrival, not only the other personalities in his body became active, but even his own will was undergoing some unknown changes!
In this case, let's keep an eye out.
Who is growing faster?
In this regard, he has long been aware that no matter who the opponent is, in this cruel battle for hegemony, only one person can reach the top!
…
Hatchinos.
"I didn't expect it would turn out like this in the end." Hogan picked up the wine glass in front of him and shook it gently.
At first, he thought Joyboy would reappear in Luffy. After all, Luffy had the Nika Fruit.
"The way to win is to adapt to circumstances." Qianhe smiled and said with emotion: "Everyone knows that putting eggs in one basket is very dangerous."
"If Joey Boy was really that rigid and had been eliminated by the times, how could he perform the Return of the King show every time!"
Judging from Joey Boy's behavior of separating his own will, the other party is definitely not the kind of all-or-nothing character.
Of course, for people like Joey Boy, Devil Fruit and body are only auxiliary after all. If they are changed, they will be changed. Only will can be eternal!
"Do you want to take action?"
Hogan looked at Qianhe and asked.
It does get tricky with Blackbeard, but dealing with the Straw Hats is much easier.
The other half of Joyboy's will has been separated. If they start now, they can firmly grasp the initiative.
"Forget it." Qianhe waved his hand and rejected Hogan's proposal.
Although the other half of Joyboy's will is indeed in Luffy's hands, like Brook's soul, Joyboy's will can act freely and is equivalent to an independent individual.
Moreover, although he possesses the ability of the Soul Soul Fruit, he cannot imprison a more nihilistic will.
It is like some kind of existence higher than the soul. It has no shape and cannot be contained and captured!
Qianhe even suspected that as long as D existed for one day, even if his will was lost, Joyboy would still be able to revive again.
He invaded Blackbeard's body so easily, and Blackbeard couldn't even resist basicly. There was definitely something wrong!
"That loser Caesar, even if he was provided with soul materials, he didn't develop anything useful."
Qianhe frowned.
Like the Sea Tower Stone and Devil Fruit, this world also has items targeting the soul and will.
The SSG manufactured by Vegapunk is like this. Not only can it inject flesh, blood and soul into the mechanical life, but it can also be artificially stored to allow it to evolve on its own and give birth to a new soul.
It can be called a creator-like existence!
Caesar has made some achievements in terms of blood factors, but his wisdom and knowledge are limited to tangible things, and he seems to be unable to deal with the intangible soul and will.
"Ha~"
"There is a difference between genius and genius. After my observation, Caesar is probably at the end of his game." Hogan couldn't help but shook his head.
He had been to Caesar's laboratory. In Hogan's opinion, the things that the other party developed were just trivial things and had no strategic value at all.
Although there are some fantastic ideas, if you really want to achieve results, with Caesar's ability, he can't do it even if he is given 500 years!
This made him have to doubt that perhaps the blood factor technology was completely the result of Vegapunk's independent research. Caesar and Germa were just standing on the shoulders of giants and expanding the uses of the blood factor.
Even these research directions are the result of Vegapunk's limited personal energy and deliberate guidance in order to improve the database.
There is no doubt that Vegapunk is an absolute genius, and genius can always make people naturally accomplish many things that deviate from destiny, and manipulate other people's lives in extremely covert ways!
"The so-called genius is the limit of ordinary people, but for us who look at the world, such people can only be regarded as elites."
"Unfortunately, what the Qianhe Pirates need is a genius among geniuses, a superhuman monster!"
Hogan's point was simply that Kaiser's research did not meet their standards.
Caesar's improved special robots and giant warriors have limited improvements. Not to mention comparable to the SSG, even the pacifist cannot compare.
There is no strategic weapon like Vegapunk that can suppress domineering, soul, and will.
Investing too much in him is a complete waste of resources!
"Hey, it's time to go!"
Qianhe waved his hand and strode forward.
Although the human weapons project failed, the huge experiment has been successful, and now it’s time to verify the results!
…
Kingdom of Wallis.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain lightly, and it tended to get heavier and heavier.
However, the pedestrians on the street did not avoid it. Instead, they stood there with a blank look on their faces, letting the rain wet themselves.
Most of these people were in ragged clothes, except for some special races with weirdly long necks - the snake-headed tribe.
This is a country established by the gathering of snake-headed tribes. Although the number is far less than that of humans, it has ruled this super-large island for hundreds of years because of its strong force.
Nothing changed until a few years ago when the revolutionary army overthrew it.
But with the expansion of the Qianhe Pirates, this holy land where revolutionary ideas are rampant has turned into a chaotic pirate country.
The suppressed Snake Head Clan also caught up with this ride and joined the Qianhe Pirates to rule the land again!
Due to their slender body, extraordinary speed, and cold and ruthless temperament, the Snakeheads can be said to be born swordsmen.
A large number of snake-head clansmen with superb swordsmanship have joined, enriching the main force of the eighth legion of the Qianhe Pirates, which is also the legion directly under Qianhe!
Unfortunately, the ideas of the upper class often run counter to those of the civilians at the bottom. Especially in the Kingdom of Wallis, which has experienced the baptism of revolution, resistance is everywhere.
For this reason, the upper echelons of the Snakehead clan decided to designate every rainy day as the Day of Atonement to wash away the blood of the rebels' sins.
Fortunately, although the Kingdom of Wallis is not a desert country, it does not have many rainy days, so the scale of executions is not large.
The last large-scale execution was a year ago.
At that time, the Qianhe Pirates sent two cadres, Hody Jones and Catalina Depen. They led their respective legions to slaughter tens of thousands of rebels before quelling the unrest.
"It's raining. Today...is Yom Kippur again!"
A man holding a weapon put his head in his hands and fell to his knees in pain.
Under the rule of the Snakehead Clan, humans were almost reduced to slaves, so the revolutionary army could develop in full swing and overthrow their rule.
After all, the revolutionary army has the support of almost everyone except the snake-headed tribe!
Every Yom Kippur is a large-scale purge, especially on such a rainy day, when tens of thousands of prisoners are often executed.
A large number of young men were arrested and killed. Even for one of the few big countries in the New World, Wallis's national strength was greatly affected after several attacks.
But the Snakehead Clan doesn’t care, and the Qianhe Pirates don’t care about a group of rebels!
The main blame is that they were too naive. They did not kill all the Snakeheads, but only imprisoned some high-level personnel.
It would be terrible to allow a large group of more than half a million people to wander within the kingdom.
Even without the Qianhe Pirates, when the commander and elite troops of the Revolutionary Army left, they would not be able to hold on to this achievement!
Abatoria and the Kingdom of Wallis, the last two countries on the Grand Line, were both occupied by the revolutionary army, and this gives us a glimpse of the dragon's layout.
Like Roger, the revolutionary army bets its future on the last great secret treasure.
"boom!"
Soon, someone spotted the man and shot him without hesitation.
Only a rebellious person would sympathize with traitors and be afraid of such weather, even if this man was a member of the 17th legion of the Qianhe Pirates.
"Add his name to the execution list and give it to Lord Pizarro!"
The man who fired the shot ordered with a cold expression.
Not long after the war between the Beasts Pirates ended, the Seventeenth Legion under the Qianhe Pirates came to the Kingdom of Wallis, along with Pizarro's Sixth Legion and the King's Army of thirty thousand.
"yes!"
The subordinate replied with fear, his face full of panic.
The Legion that should least appear came to the hometown that they wanted to protect the most, and helped the Qianhe Pirates massacre their own compatriots. There is nothing more cruel than this.
But they have no choice!
The man who fired the shot took a look at his neck. His whole neck was stretched very, very long by a large number of collars, which was far beyond the scope of a normal person.
Eighteen...
He remembered this number clearly.
Before joining the Qianhe Pirates, he was spotted by a general of the Snakehead Clan because of his agility, and he had made eighteen military exploits in battles with enemy countries, so he was given these collars.
Because of the hundreds of years of rule by the Snakehead Tribe, the aesthetics of the Wallis Kingdom have gradually become deformed, with the length of the neck being considered the most beautiful.
However, according to the law, stretching one's neck privately is prohibited. Only humans recognized by the snake-headed tribe can have this honor.
In their eyes, this is the closest gesture to a god!
"How long are you going to struggle..."
"The revolution has completely failed, idiot!" The man looked up at the sky, and the rain hit his face and slid down his cheeks. He couldn't tell whether the sky was crying or he was crying.
'Arms' Sefrom, a user with the bullet fruit ability, has a bounty of 67 million beli, and is called a mobile arsenal by the navy.
Like most of the people in the 17th Legion, he was once a member of the resistance to the rule of the Snake Head Clan, and with the help of the Revolutionary Army, he worked together with everyone to overthrow the mountain of the Snake Head Clan.
But the Qianhe Pirates are a mountain ten times more majestic than the Snakehead Clan, and he has no chance of winning at all!
More importantly, the Qianhe Pirates are a force on the human side.
The reason why they were able to unite many resistance forces in the first place was mainly because they were unwilling to surrender to foreigners.
after all,
Human beings are the leader in the outside world.
This kind of disapproval is innate, especially when we understand that humans dominate the entire world, it has gradually evolved into abnormal discrimination.
On the one hand, they fear the power of the snake-headed tribe and believe that the snake-headed tribe is a natural ruler.
On the other hand, he sincerely discriminates against the snake-headed tribe, feeling that they only enslave the weak and do not dare to compete with the superpowers of mankind.
Very contradictory……
So in their eyes, these collars are both an honor and a shame!
"Captain Sefrom, behind you are Lord Pizarro's King's Army." His subordinate glanced behind him warily and warned in a low voice.
Frequent rebellions caused the Seventeenth Legion to be in turmoil for a long time. In this mission, Pizarro almost gave up on these new troops and instead reused his own king's army.
You know, they are the 17th legion of the Qianhe Pirates. Even if they are not the top ones, they are definitely not comparable to the king's army!
"Don't worry, Master Riester will take care of it. Pizarro doesn't dare to mess around."
Severom looked determined.
The commander of the Seventeenth Legion is the famous 'Dragon Eagle' Riester, so there is no need to worry about Pizarro secretly causing harm.
It's just that this time Riester did not come to the Kingdom of Wallis, but led a large force to the Kingdom of Wano to receive the 'legacy' of the Beast Pirates.
Therefore, this time he was in charge of the members of King Wallis nationality, about 2,000 people, to carry out the mission.
Severom knew that this was a test for them!
It is up to them to choose whether to return to their hometown with honor or die here as cannon fodder.
"Besides..."
Severom glanced at the king's army behind him, and then looked at the members of the Sixth Legion scattered around.
Although these King's Army and the Sixth Army were both under Pizarro's command, they were incompatible with each other.
One is the direct legion under the Qianhe Pirates, and the other is the King's Army that Pizarro worked hard to build.
It’s just the fox pretending to be the tiger’s power!
Most of the King's Army under Pizarro were pirates who could not join the Qianhe Pirates through normal channels, and in the end had to find another way to join a certain cadre.
"But..." The subordinate stopped talking.
Pizarro may not care about them, but it is impossible for them to ignore Pizarro, and they must also rely on the other party's power.
Especially at this time, if you are not careful, you will be killed by the swarming enemies.
The rain is coming!
The deaths of Du Felder and Piecrot caused turmoil in the entire dark world, and this land that had set up a common trade area was the first to bear the brunt.
In order to cope with the impact of the dark world, the Qianhe Pirates sent more than 50,000 people, which can be seen from this.
Unlike ordinary pirate groups, the Dark World is more like a mafia-like organization. Even if the leader is lost, it will not be broken, and someone will immediately take the position again.
They rely more on monopoly to gather power. As long as the industrial chain exists, it will never collapse!
As for Du Felder and Piecro, they are equivalent to the major shareholders of their respective organizations. The other shareholders hope that they will die early.
At the same time, revenge is inevitable, especially those new shareholders, who need such a name to unite all shareholders under their own banner!
Although the murderer was the Knights of God, there was no use in fighting them, so he turned to the place where the tragedy occurred - the Kingdom of Wallis.
Just like Allbe, which brings together all the ingredients, the Kingdom of Wallis has the only common trade area in the world, making it a cake that makes all forces salivate!
"Huge interests can silence all controversial voices."
"Organ trafficking groups have been very active recently. Although they dare not attack the Qianhe Pirates blatantly, many senior members of the Snake Head Clan have been killed."
"Our mission is to find them and wipe out this cancerous organization!"
Severom waved his hand and walked forward expressionlessly.
There is always no shortage of arrogant people in this world, and organ trafficking groups are an example of them.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, they don't care about each other's identity at all!
Shooting the first bird, the mission of the Seventeenth Army this time is to deal with them and uproot them.
…
