"Curo!"
At this time, Lida ran over, followed by Crowe.
"Ben Beckman!"
As soon as Crowe arrived in front of Qrow, he saw Ben Beckman who was fighting Kizaru, and quickly stopped, "That person with an IQ equal to mine..."
Where is your face?
Qrow rolled his eyes when he heard Qrow's words.
"What is that? Do you know it?"
Qrow asked, pointing to the huge white shadow that was sweeping the pirates like a whirlwind.
"It's Cass." Lida said nonchalantly.
"What?"
Kuro was stunned and looked over there carefully. The power of will was indeed very familiar.
That huge white shadow was really made up of a group of marines, but the air around them was ferociously twisted, and it was too fast, so Kuro couldn't react at first.
The speed is unbelievably fast.
"Is Cass so fast?" Qrow asked doubtfully.
"It didn't happen before, but now it does..."
Crowe looked complicated and said: "If I had known it was this ability, I would have eaten it."
"Um?"
Crow looked at Crow and heard Crow say: "There is a Devil Fruit in Miss Lida's backpack, which is the ability of 'Speed Frank'."
Lida nodded, her face fell, and she said, "I almost ate it. I was scared to death. Why does such an unpalatable thing always end up in my backpack?"
"What's going on?" Culloton felt a little unbelievable, "Why is there another fruit?"
"That's it..." Lida said.
…
The memory goes back to when Kuro was fighting the Blackbeard Pirates.
On the other side of the battlefield, in the rear.
"I'm starving."
Lida sat down on the spot, took out the food in her backpack and started eating.
On the side, Crow pushed up his glasses, watched the fighting on the battlefield, and swallowed.
At this time, his injuries were not serious. In such a big battlefield, no one would be injured without being injured. It was just a matter of severity. He was resting now so that he could pay attention to his surroundings, for fear of being attacked by pirates.
Nearby, a group of people from Cass were also resting.
"Mr. Crowe, you can rest assured. With us here, if pirates attack, they will be blocked by us!"
Cass clenched his fist and vowed: "Even if I am weak, for the sake of justice, I will never let the pirates break through!"
You are not weak...
Crowe twitched the corner of his mouth. With the power inspired by his will, even if he rushed in, he would only have to endure a few more lives.
However, with this power of will, Crowe also discovered a problem. Only those who are inspired by Cass and trust him can be infected by this will. However, a slightly stronger navy with its own will cannot share this power. of will.
Moreover, after they calmed down and rested, Crowe keenly discovered that some of the navy around Cass were already afraid.
"Anyway, quickly recover your strength and continue to fight... Is Kuro okay?"
Lida quickly finished a peach and looked at Kuro's side worriedly. At that level, they couldn't participate in the battle. They were just a burden in the past.
"This kind of battlefield..."
Crowe looked at the battlefield ahead with confusion. The scene of flesh-and-blood fighting made even him a little frightened.
Before, when I was killing, I didn’t feel like I was completely carried away by the atmosphere of the battlefield, but now I quit and look at it again, I just feel cold all over my body.
Whitebeard is dead, and Fire Fist Ace has been executed, but the war is still going on. Everyone is following the devil, fighting each other and losing each other's lives. Whether they are navy or pirate, at this moment, it seems that they are just one Life is ordinary, so simple, there is no more profound concept.
puff!
In front, a sailor was chopped down by a pirate and fell in a pool of blood. The pirate was shot to death from the side by another sailor, and then roared and continued to rush towards the battlefield.
Crowe suddenly clenched his fist and looked a little ugly.
He knew the fallen marine.
When he was training at the headquarters, he had fought against that marine. After the training, the marine was very proud to let him see his son with a smile on his face.
At that time, he was still envious of the happy life with a wife and children...
But now, it has turned into 'a life', 'a navy', and has become one of the many fallen on the ground.
Life has become extremely fragile at this moment.
"It's time to end this war..." Crowe murmured.
Even he, a former pirate who had killed many people, was afraid of this battlefield.
"Eh?"
At this moment, Lida let out a light sigh. She looked at the fruit in her hand and looked strange.
Crowe looked over and his eyes widened, "Evil, devil fruit?"
What she held in her hand was a red pineapple-shaped fruit. The spiral pattern in it was unique in this world except for devil fruits.
"Why is it this unpalatable thing again?" Lida threw the fruit away in disgust.
A black line appeared on Crowe's forehead. He quickly ran over to pick it up and wiped the dust on it, "Miss Lida, this is a Devil Fruit. Even if it is sold, it is worth a lot of money... Also , why do you have such a thing again."
"I don't know why it came into my bag out of nowhere. Damn it, another piece of food is missing." Lida seemed to remember the taste of the devil fruit and stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"Devil fruit..."
Crowe looked at the fruit in his hand, and the light reflected in his lenses.
This is a good thing to enhance your strength, especially on the battlefield where you will die if you are careless. If you eat the fruit, your probability of survival will be much greater.
"Do you want to eat, Crow?" Lida asked, watching Crow hesitate.
"No..."
Crowe shook his head: "I can't determine what ability it is now. If it doesn't suit me, eating it will only weaken it."
Although Mr. Clow had learned from the past, after killing the Golden Lion, he got the Piao Piao Fruit, and now it was Whitebeard who died on the battlefield.
But this one is not a Zhenzhen Fruit, because last time he looked at the illustration from Mayor Mendel, Zhenzhen Fruits don't look like this.
So I don’t know where this fruit came from.
What he is good at is speed and physical skills. If this fruit cannot bring benefits to him, then it will be useless.
This shape looks like a superhuman type, but what Crowe actually wants is an animal type, which will further improve his physique.
Just when Crowe was about to put away the fruit, Cass came over and said seriously: "If Mr. Crowe doesn't want to eat it, please give it to me!"
"You?" Crowe was stunned for a moment.
"That's right!"
Cass's eyes seemed to be flashing with fire.
"I'm following Mr. Clow's back, but, yet..."
Cass looked at Crowe, who was fighting with Blackbeard in the air, and shed tears in his eyes, "I am too weak, we are all too weak, and cannot help Mr. Crowley at all. I want to become Mr. Crowley's strongest protector." If you have a shield, you must get extra power!"
"Hey, are you serious?"
Crowe said: "The Devil Fruit's ability is very strange. Even the illustrated book does not have all the records. If the fruit's ability is not suitable for you, then you will become weaker."
"It doesn't matter!"
Cass made up his mind and said:
"This fruit, Mr. Crowe's strength is not worth mentioning, but for me, who is weak, no matter what my ability is, it is getting stronger. I also want to help Mr. Crowe faster, even if it is just a little bit more." The power! Can you, Mr. Crowe, Miss Leda."
"Okay."
Lida nodded: "No one will eat it anyway, so you can eat it."
"Since you insist so much..."
Crowe handed the fruit to him, "Then you can eat it."
"grateful!"
Cass took it solemnly, then looked at Kuro over there and murmured: "Mr. Kuro, in order to be your strongest shield, I will overcome any devil no matter what!"
He put the fruit to his mouth, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "A mere devil will not affect my determination to follow Mr. Clow. No matter what my ability is, I will help Mr. Clow!"
Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the pineapple-shaped red fruit in one bite.
As the fruit was eaten, Lida and Crowe also looked at him expectantly. Cass lowered his head and couldn't see any expression clearly. After a pause, he raised his head with a solemn expression, as if he was worshiping. He looked at Kuro in the distance like a god.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Kuro, this is the best power you have given me!"
Amid the curiosity of Lida and Crowe, he turned around, looked at his colleagues, and shouted: "Comrades, it's time to join the battle, follow me and charge!"
But at this time, some of the navy looked at me and at you, and their bodies began to retreat slightly.
This kind of killing field frightens them.
"Mr. Cass... I am seriously injured, so why not take a rest." A marine suggested.
"Yes, Mr. Cass, I can't hold it anymore." A marine covered his chest with blood at the corner of his mouth. He was the first person to rush beside Cass, and of course he was seriously injured. .
"you..."
Cass glanced at them and said solemnly: "Comrades, I can understand, because we are only the weakest member. Our lethality is not strong enough, our physique is not strong enough, and our vitality is not as good as the strong. It’s so strong that we can’t freely advance or retreat on this battlefield, but we are still alive now, who can tell me why?”
"Why, why?"
Lida was curious about this and couldn't help but ask.
When taken apart, they were obviously weak and could be kneaded at will, but when combined, they were so strong that she was surprised.
Can the power of will reach this level?
Kuro's murderous will is not that strong...
But now it seems that something is going wrong. Is there an end to Cass's will?
Cass's words made the navy look at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Answer me!" Cass yelled.
"Um...because we adhere to 'tenacious justice'?" A marine raised his hand weakly.
"Led by Mr. Cass?"
"I don't know, but I firmly believe that Mr. Cass, you will take us down. If you follow Mr. Cass, you can chase Mr. Clow." The person who said this was a very young navy man, that is, About the same size as Kirby.
"wrong!!!"
Cass said: "This is not what you really think. You are just blindly following me, following me who was led by Mr. Clow. This is wrong! So you are injured, you are afraid... "
Everyone was silent collectively, lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
"Look! Look at Mr. Clow, whom we respect the most, no, I respect the most!"
Cass pointed at Kuro who was fighting Blackbeard in the air behind him. "He was still fighting tenaciously in the face of the former Shichibukai who despicably released the prisoners in Impel Down City. You may say, Mr. Kuro is so Qiang, of course he can advance and retreat freely, but if you are injured, you can only rest, otherwise you will die."
"But, if we all think so, then we will fail in this war. Because this is a war, and war is not a child's play that can be formed by just a few people. Look at those colleagues, who is not fighting to the death, facing more powerful people than them? The strong existence will still fight to the death! If we take a step back here, Marinefando will be silent. If we all retreat, then justice in the world will be gone!"
"We are alive only because of the existence of people like Mr. Clow. But the navy is not just about Mr. Clow, the marshal, and the general. We are also the navy, and we are the most important part of the navy."
"So we can't give in, because we are standing here! Standing in this naval headquarters that was invaded by pirates! Standing in this land that we have poured our blood and dignity into! And those pirates are trampling on this land wantonly !”
"Here, this land...is Malinvando!!!"
These words were deafening, causing the navy to raise their heads. They looked at the dead and injured colleagues around them, and gritted their teeth one by one.
"Yes! We may be weak, but in front of those strong ones, everyone is weak! I was wrong, I shouldn't be afraid, this is disrespectful to my dead colleagues!"
"They are the navy, and we are also the navy. There is no reason why they can fight to the death, but we are timid!"
"Mr. Cass, didn't you eat the Devil Fruit? Then lead us on the battlefield. No matter what your ability is, we will accept it!"
A surge of heat rose up, distorting the surroundings. It was first emitted from Cass, infecting these marines, causing them to also stimulate the twisted aura, mixing together, and distorting the surroundings.
Cass looked at them and nodded solemnly, "No matter how small we are, as long as we want to do it, we can still contribute to justice. This is what we mean by 'Tough Justice'!"
"So, for Malinfando..."
Cass raised his hand.
As if in unison, the marines all raised their hands and shouted: "For Malinvando!!!"
"For Mr. Clow..."
Cass turned around, facing Qrow, arms raised in the air.
"For Mr. Clow!!!" The entire navy raised their arms.
"For...justice!" Cass clenched his fist.
"For justice!!!" The entire navy clenched their fists.
"Now, I will use the power Mr. Kuro gave me!"
Cass punched himself in the left chest.
boom! ! !
The entire navy struck the left chest in unison, and the surrounding aura became more and more distorted. The faces of the navy also became more ferocious and less human-like.
"Five times!"
A ball of light gathered on the bodies of each navy, and mixed with the aura, the navy became turbid and could not be seen clearly. Only the white navy uniforms of the water joined together, like a huge white monster.
"charge!!!"
With Cass's roar, the gathered white monsters almost turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the battlefield.
"Gudu——"
Lida stared blankly at this scene, with no reaction even if the food in her hand fell. After a long time, she trembled, looked at Crowe who was sweating beside him, and said in unison:
"It's so scary..."
