"Stand down!" The armored man waved his hand and said to the people below.

"Yes!" With that, he exited the room.

At this moment, a woman with a scarf on her face walked out of the side hall.

"Could it be a problem? I always feel that it is too dangerous, will something happen? The woman placed her two slender hands on the man's shoulders.

"Ah, who made it impossible for us to get out now, but I am fortunate that you let you accompany me on this road." The man in armor said softly.

"Ahh

"Don't worry, after this incident, we can quit." The man said with some relaxation.

"Who the hell are these people? Why do you want to release this so-called torture day? The woman asked cautiously.

"Hmph, I don't know, if it weren't for the things in my body, and they also restored my arm, otherwise..."

"Alright, let's go, get some rest early. There will be a big battle in a few days. ”

"You go back first, and I'll sit down again." The man said lightly, and the woman nodded, turned around and walked towards the side hall.

"I don't know if we can go back, alas...."

........

On a hill not far from the gates of hell, Charles, who should have died a long time ago, stood here with a resolute face, followed by many mountain ghosts.

"Wait, I'll be here to save you soon!!" I couldn't help but clench my fists.

..........

In the side room of the Hell's Gate Tower.

Shopkeeper Ruan sighed weakly, "Alas, this monster should have died a long time ago, but thirty years ago, there was an accident, and a group of uninvited guests appeared here. ”

"Pirates or?"

"Mr. Black!! Shopkeeper Ruan said with some palpitations, "075 can know here, but also because of coincidence, and Mr. Hei is the same, alas, it's all my fault, I was careless, in addition to the traitor, I revealed our whereabouts to Mr. Hei - Oda Nobunaga." ”

"Oda Nobunaga? Impossible, wasn't he killed by 075 ambush? Sister Hua suddenly exclaimed.

"It's all fake, we all thought that Mr. Hei had been eliminated, but at the beginning, we only exterminated their peripheral personnel, but their core people were all hidden, and besides, the bastards of the Five Old Stars, in order to maintain their dominance, sometimes have to take the initiative to assist Mr. Hei. At that time, we were almost completely wiped out. After the shopkeeper Ruan finished speaking, he slapped the table with a heavy bang.

"But Oda Nobunaga, the strength should be about the same as yours, why did you lose so much?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously, how could a small group of people like Shopkeeper Ruan, who were already at the top of the sea, suffer in a battle at the same level?

"His abilities are so weird, an old blind man, is actually such a person." Shopkeeper Ruan stood up and recalled the past events of the year, "You all know that Stern and I both came out of that place, as for where it is, of course I can't tell you, although we are all similar to humans, but we are a little different from ordinary people, you can also understand that we don't need to use Devil Fruits, you can have similar abilities to Devil Fruits, your Stern is one body and two souls, the second soul of his physical strength is a demon ape, my ability is power, and you, Xiaohua and Xiaozhuo have inherited part of their father's bloodline, but they are very thin and have not awakened, and you Ye Fan, because of the blessing of the mysterious power of your physical strength, you have something different from ordinary humans. You can all say that there is a kind of yang power in your body, and Oda Nobunaga, his bloodline, the breath that the bloodline gives to it, is pure evil. ”

"Is there a difference between good and evil in the bloodline? Are you kidding? When Leng Zhuo heard this, he sneered.

"Hmph, Xiao Lengzi, the old man is not in the mood to fool you now. And his ability is somewhat similar to that of Sister Hu, both of whom attack through voice. ”

"Shopkeeper Ruan, is that Oda Nobunaga dead at the end?" Leng Zhuo scratched his head and asked.

"That person is extremely strong, if it weren't for our luck in the end, maybe thirty years ago, there would have been a change, and there would be no current pirates and the world government." Shopkeeper Ruan said lightly

"Then Old Man Ruan, can you tell us about the composition of those mountain ghosts? At least we have a mental preparation, although we fought with them last time, but those should only be the lowest. Ye Fan nodded and asked.

"These mountain ghosts still have ranks, the weakest is the mountain ghosts that have just been transformed, we call them Sharp Claw Mountain Ghosts, and they are also encountered in the valley; The second class, the long-tongued mountain ghost, his attack is more weird, he is the evolution of the claw mountain ghost, and in terms of strength, he is probably the stronger position among the vice admirals; The third class, the white-haired mountain ghost, this kind of mountain ghost is easier to recognize, the whole body is snow-white, his fur is not simple, there is basically no way to hurt him with ordinary weapons, but fortunately, there are fewer mountain ghosts of this level, the last one, the giant mountain ghost, this kind of mountain ghost is about the same height as the giant clan, and the strength is strong, if you encounter it, you can fight, just try to protect yourself from death. Shopkeeper Ruan subconsciously touched his coat pocket and found that he was wearing armor now, without a coat pocket.

"How long is the weakening period of the black mandala flower?" Sister Hua asked suddenly.

"It's not long, just one day, and after a day, he can recover again."

"By the way, I think what's the use of your blood?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously.

"We all have some powerful power in our blood, and through our blood, he can try to make his weakening period, not particularly weak. It's just that now it seems that our preparation is still insufficient, and this time there is another existence that we still don't know whether it is friend or foe, and we are eyeing it from the sidelines, we must try to maintain the strongest combat effectiveness, otherwise, everything will be in vain. Shopkeeper Ruan said firmly, with a solemn expression on his face.

"How many mountain ghosts do you think we'll face? If that doesn't work, let's gather some more! Sister Hua felt that if there was no way but to ask for support, at least the leaders of 075 should be able to help.

"It's hard to say, there were nearly two hundred of them last time, this time it should be about the same as this data, it's even more impossible to invite people from the outside, the environment here has a special one, if there are too many people coming, it may cause the monster to be restless, the most important thing is that I'm afraid that there are people from the world government in your 075, if the five old stars know that there is such a powerful force, I don't think they will sit idly by."

Sister Hu glanced at the shopkeeper Ruan, who was a little pale because of excessive blood loss.

"You go back and rest first, I'll take them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, this place is about to become a battlefield, I just hope that what we have guarded for hundreds of years, don't fail in my hands." Sister Hu said to the shopkeeper Ruan with some sadness, this time it is not a simple matter, and it is about to succeed, I hope there will be no mistakes this time. "Stand down!" The armored man waved his hand and said to the people below.

"Yes!" With that, he exited the room.

At this moment, a woman with a scarf on her face walked out of the side hall.

"Could it be a problem? I always feel that it is too dangerous, will something happen? The woman placed her two slender hands on the man's shoulders.

Sister Hu said to the shopkeeper Ruan with some sadness, this time it is not a simple matter, and it is about to succeed, I hope there will be no mistakes this time.

Shopkeeper Ruan nodded, turned around and went to rest alone.

Subsequently, Sister Hu took the three of them to familiarize themselves with the terrain in the city, and finally walked to the front city wall.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, the open space outside the city wall was full of black mandala flowers, a gust of night wind blew, the black sea slowly swayed, some petals fluttered in the breeze, and a wind mixed with a strange fragrance came to the face. A pair of black-armored warriors armed with weapons patrol the ever-changing landscape.

Standing on the city wall, Ye Fan and the three of them looked around, and the indescribable sadness in their hearts surged into their hearts.

"This punishment day, so powerful, actually absorbed a single plant?"

"This should be the kind of relationship between the food chain."

"I suddenly remembered, you said that after we go back, Stern will flip the table, we actually ran here to cooperate with the traitors of 075." Leng Zhuo looked at Sister Hua and said with some hesitation

"That's your business, it's none of our business." Ye Fan smiled and glanced at Sister Hua.

"Let's go, let's go back, you still have a few days, let's take your time." Sister Hu glanced at the three of them and said lightly.

Back in the room, Ye Fan and Leng Zhuo quickly fell asleep.

Sister Hua sat alone by the window, constantly rubbing a piece of cyan jade pendant in her hand, and a clear word 'flower' fell on the jade pendant, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she first came here.

Sister Hua, who had just woken up, opened her eyes and saw Shopkeeper Ruan and Sister Hu sitting in the room, while Ye Fan and Leng Zhuo were not in the room.

"Xiaohua, you look very similar to your father, but I didn't expect to recruit you again this time." Shopkeeper Ruan had a soft smile on his face.

"Hmph, you traitor, I haven't forgotten what happened back then, why? Why you? Sister Hua had an angry look in her eyes.

"Alas, you really haven't changed, it was my fault that the events of the year led to a series of consequences, and it was also a reason for your father's death." Shopkeeper Ruan smiled apologetically at Sister Hua.

"You think you can make me forgive you with a few words now? Do you know that thirty-seven years, when I saw my father, it was just a handful of white ashes. Sister Hua said with tears in her eyes.

"Impossible, after we went out of here, I reported the situation here to the direct leader at the time, but he was not the current Stern, when he heard the terrifying power of Xingtian, his only thought at that time was to get him, I had to kill him desperately for this secret, but I was also regarded as a traitor by the person who was discovered, and since then I have started the road of wandering the world, but I didn't expect to expose your father and Leng Zhuo's father to the gun, Their strength is not as strong as mine, and in the end they were arrested by the five old stars, and in the end, your father had to choose to commit suicide in order to keep the secret. Shopkeeper Ruan slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it.

"Xiaohua, this matter, listen to Sister Hu, you really can't blame General Ruan back then, General Hua and General Leng are righteous and awe-inspiring, the only thing General Ruan did wrong was that he didn't take them away together." Sister Hu comforted on the side.

"Sister Hu, can you tell me, why did you choose me?"

"It's hard to say about this matter, it can only be said that you went to a special place at a special time." After speaking, Sister Hu took out a jade pendant from her arms.

.........

Another five days passed, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual except for the increasingly obvious images in the air, but the atmosphere in the city became more and more depressing, tense, and patrolled day and night. The weapons are all soaked in black mandala flowers.

Shopkeeper Ruan also recovered most of his physical strength, but the flow of blood in his body could not recover quickly.

The biggest anomaly is that the black mandala flowers have withered.

It was nearly dusk, and the shopkeeper Ruan was sitting on the city tower with a huge machete stuck in his side.

"Old man, I didn't see you use this knife when I came?" Ye Fan looked at the huge black and asked suspiciously.

"This knife is the same knife that killed Oda Nobunaga back then, and after forty years of soaking, it is now going to drink blood again." A smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper Ruan, and his right hand stroked the back of the knife.

A few people chatted on the city wall.

Listening to the struggle between the shopkeeper Ruan and Mr. Hei back then, it was called a hair, those Mr. Hei were not a good thing, in order to destroy the world, they would do everything.

I don't know when it darkened, the walls of the Gates of Hell were brightly lit, and the mountain breeze was once again visiting the lonely city, and there was silence all around.

From two days ago, the flower cluster was weakening at a rate visible to the naked eye, and tonight it will be at its weakest, and now it can only call the city walls its home.

"Be careful, they're coming!" The voice of the shopkeeper suddenly sounded without any warning.

Ye Fan opened his closed eyes, and his right hand tightly held the cold ice beside him.

Leng Zhuo held a weapon like a six-barreled Gatling gun, carried a wooden box on his back, and prepared seven or eight of the same boxes under his feet, which were full of dense black bullets, and poked his head out to look down.

I saw that the black armor army below kept retreating from the outside, running towards the city, and as it approached, the screams of the black armor army continued to be heard.

Sister Hu, who had already prepared, continued to command many black-armored troops to retreat to the inner city.

"Trouble!" Shopkeeper Ruan glanced at the distance and said with some concern.

"After forty years of gestation, the ability of the mountain ghosts seems to have evolved a lot, and the outer sea of flowers seems to be unable to affect them at all, and our arrow array has completely lost its effect!" A black-faced man who had just entered the city said with some horror.

"How many people are on the other side?"

"I don't know, it's all over the mountains."

Ruan's shopkeeper's face turned cold, and as soon as he grasped the machete of Shi Nongang, he looked at the city and said solemnly, "I'll go down, I can't let them continue to move forward, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Shopkeeper Ruan nodded, turned around and went to rest alone.

Subsequently, Sister Hu took the three of them to familiarize themselves with the terrain in the city, and finally walked to the front city wall.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, the open space outside the city wall was full of black mandala flowers, a gust of night wind blew, the black sea slowly swayed, some petals fluttered in the breeze, and a wind mixed with a strange fragrance came to the face.
