Chapter 18 Respective Movements
In the mansion of the iceberg, the boatmen who were concerned about the iceberg spontaneously started the work of guarding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although they don't know if the bad guys who attacked the iceberg will come back today, they are still fully engrossed in guarding against any possible attack.
The defense line was divided into three levels, the outermost layer was the front and rear doors, and the boatmen in the courtyard. The middle floor is the personnel deployed in the corridor in the mansion, while the innermost and most powerful line of defense is the five foremen who are quietly waiting outside the iceberg's bedroom.
Although Crockdahl knows the true colors of these people, in the eyes of the public, these people are the most loyal to the iceberg, and they will definitely defend desperately, and it is impossible for Judas to appear. In addition, with these foremen, there is also Kalifa, who usually serves as an iceberg bodyguard in addition to the role of secretary, which can be described as a steel defense line.
Although Kalifa looks like a blonde beauty, her real combat power is not inferior to these bearded men. Kalifa, who was furious, once kicked and shattered Huanggangyan.
"Boom ......" There was a low muffled sound, rolling thunder shook the universe, and the lightning that passed through the sky seemed to mark the pen for this fateful night.
The night was getting darker, and a drizzle of rain was falling in the cold air. Although the rain was very small, just the level of drizzle, it seemed to put a shackle on everyone's hearts.
The formation on this side of the iceberg has been completed, and the castle that is heavily guarded like a demon king is waiting for the brave to come.
……
Rocky Gorge, where Usopp and Luffy dueled, traces of the battle still remain. The reef affected by the gas explosion is still dark, and if it weren't for the fact that it is inaccessible, it is estimated that it would have been turned upside down by the shipbuilding company's people in the tense atmosphere at this time.
The Golden Merry is docked here at this time. It can be seen that the Merry is already in dilapidation, and the patches on the hull are almost more than half of the area of the ship itself. The lovely white sheep's head bow portrait is also full of notches at this time, telling the world of the vicissitudes it has experienced.
The Merry is already considered an irreparable ship.
Covered in bandages and wrapped like a mummy, Usopp stepped out of the cabin, staggering, staggering, and threatening to fall at any moment. Apparently he was badly wounded, and his body has not been in good shape to this day.
"What was the sound just now...... Sanji? Chopper? Usopp's lips twitched, "No...... No way, we've ...... I'm not a companion anymore...... Why...... Why do you have to tell me...... Tell me ......"
"Ah——! Hey? Was it your companion just now? Long nose! Little Six yawned and walked out of the cabin and said to Usopp, "Ah! It's really sweet! But, ah, Kuraka or something, it's a tongue-twister......"
"yes, Kuawagner." "It's a hurricane, it's going to flood here." Moreover, they are no longer my companions! I'm Usopp, Captain...... Already kicked them out of the ship! ”
"Huh?!" Xiao Liuluo paused for a moment, and suddenly held his stomach and laughed, "It's so funny!" It's so funny! Long nose, you know, you look like a big ice cube! It's all a bare-bones captain! Hahaha......" Xiaoliu laughed and rolled on the ground.
"And I remember it all, it's 'Akula Ragnar'! Aha......"
"......" a large bead of sweat appeared on the back of Usopp's head, and his eyes turned like mung beans, "Hey...... Feed...... Hey......"
"Huh? Hahaha...... What the? Hahaha......" Xiao Liu laughed, kept gasping, rubbing his stomach, and couldn't say a word.
"No, it'......s nothing," Usopp said, "but thank you for saving me......"
"What are you going to say?" Xiao Liu finally stopped laughing, although he was still a little panting when he spoke, but it was much better than before, "You know, what I hate the most is people who are spitting!" There is no sense of manhood at all! ”
"What?! I, Captain Usopp, am a man of the sea! When Usopp heard Xiao Liu's words, he immediately burst into flames and shouted.
"Wow! I don't know what it is, but it seems to be amazing! Can you eat it? Xiao Liu exclaimed.
"What? No, you can't eat it! You, how can you ask, ask this question! Are you an idiot like him?" Usopp bounced up like an electric shock, but then touched the wound and cried out in pain.
"He? Who is it? Xiaoliu was puzzled, "Your partner?" ”
"Said it! I, I, I'm Captain Usoppe...... From now on, there is no ...... No...... Woooo............oo I'm really useless...... I'm just a coward...... Coward...... Woowoo woo ......"
……
On the other side, the lower level of the Capital of the Seven Waters.
Due to the low terrain here, when a hurricane hits, it will be completely submerged by the rising water level under heavy rain. Residents who had foreseen this, or who had long been accustomed to it, were prepared for the tsunami as early as the future.
When the sea breeze came along, these people took their families and daily necessities and moved to the dock on the top floor for refuge. So now it's empty, and the streets are empty and deserted. There is even a sense of loneliness and emptiness when the end is coming.
But it is also blessed by this, the boatmen who are familiar with the climate here, in the process of searching for Robin and Robin's accomplices, unconsciously forgot about this place. And a group of the Straw Hat Pirates were also able to escape here.
At this time, on the roof of a building, Nami and the others finally gathered here. Starting from Nami, several people without exception showed a languid look, and even running fast looked tired.
"Whew...... Finally settled down. Sauron held the three knives and sighed.
After getting the news that it was Robin who attacked the iceberg, several of them became the targets of hunting. It's not a good thing to be hunted down, especially for him, a road idiot, who often rushes into the crowd involuntarily. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was just an ordinary boatman, Robin's matter would not be certain, and he would have fought back with a knife. It's like now, like a rat crossing the street.
"What does it mean to settle down!" Nami looked unhappy, and immediately retorted after listening to Zoro's words, "It's not that you were chased by so many boatmen, and I and Weiwei were also involved!" Now there are hotels that can't go back, as well as our luggage, my money...... My lovely money......"
"Nami, it's okay, I'm ......" tugged Nami slightly and shook her head.
"Gah! Ga! Ga! Running fast, he stretched out his wings and knocked on Weiwei's head, looking very disapproving of Weiwei's statement, and then looked at Zoro with bitter hatred.
"Didn't I say it, that's irresistible......"
"Long-winded!"
"Nami ......"
"Gah!"
……
After some routine fighting, Chopper, who was silent for a long time and was in a rather low mood, finally opened his mouth to describe what happened after the separation. And after listening to his words, several people fell into a long silence.
"You should have been prepared, since Robin, who was once an enemy, was put on the ship, and she suddenly became so terrible and broke away from us, there is nothing to be nervous about." Zoro sheathed the words of the Tao in front of several people, and said slowly, "Do you remember what Qingzhi said? This kind of woman...... If you can betray Crockdahl, why can't you betray us? ”
"It's time to make a break with that woman......"
"Is that woman an enemy or ......a friend?"
"Mr. Zoro, don't say any more, I'm sure Robin won't ......," interrupted Sauron slightly.
"Did Robin really say that? Chopper. Zoro ignored Wei's words and looked at Chopper with serious eyes, "I won't see you again after today...... Is it? ”
"Hmm." Chopper nodded.
"So...... It shows that something worse is about to happen today, and it seems to be a declaration for us. Zoro looked at the drowsy sky and muttered, "Attempted assassination of the mayor...... No, or rather, it's not really meant to kill, otherwise one shot would be enough......"
"This has already made the commotion in this town so big, if it gets worse......" Zoro looked at Luffy with burning eyes, "There's only one way!" ”
"This time, really go and assassinate the mayor!" Several people, at the same time, said.
"However, it may be a trap to lure us into a trap so that the final charge can be placed on us. If she had carried out the assassination tonight, and we were all there, the charge would not have been cleared. Zoro continued.
"Wait! Don't you completely regard Robin as an enemy? Nami retorted.
"I'm just talking about what could happen." Zoro glanced at Nami and continued, "Don't believe or doubt, if the idea is biased to one side and the truth is the opposite......"
"Click!" Sauron's thumb pushed the Wachichi character out of the scabbard and snapped it back, "In that instant, the swordsman's movements will become sluggish. ”
"If anything, it's tonight. How, go to the scene? With that, Sauron looked at the silent crowd.
"I'm going." Chopper nodded without hesitation.
"Then ......," Zoro said, interrupted slightly.
"Sister Robin is our companion, isn't she? In short, I will not give up any partner, this is my vow! ”
Sauron gripped the hilt of his sword and looked around the world, all he saw was a determined gaze.
"In that case, let's go!" With a toothy grin, Sauron responded with a categorical tone, "Bring back our companion, and that idiot captain!" ”
"Boom!" As if in response to Zoro's oath, the silver serpent danced wildly in the sky, and under the deafening thunder, the resolute and serious expressions of the Straw Hats and the gang were born.
……
At the same time, a tall and mysterious man wearing a mask and cloak on the roof of a tall building overlooking the mayor's mansion, and Nicole Robin, dressed in a leather coat, also appeared there.
