Drake suddenly stumbled into the middle of the two, much to the surprise of both Ulki and Kira. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Immediately after, he raised his hand seemingly lightly, but he resisted their attacks solidly, which made their hearts sink even more.
They know very well how powerful they are. Even if this blow was not their strongest blow, it was serious and brought out all their strength to fight.
There was no doubt how deterrent Drake's actions had been to them. After all, if it were them, even if they could block the opponent's attack, it would never be possible to act so easily. Especially when Drake blocked the attack, he didn't even shake his arm in the slightest, and he obviously still had the strength to spare.
Of course, if they knew what kind of fruit Drake was eating, then they probably wouldn't be so surprised.
After all, even among the animal fruits that are mainly used to strengthen the body, they are also ancient branches of the species known for their strength. In particular, what Drake ate was the most powerful Tyrannosaurus fruit.
However, if you really want to successfully block the attacks of these two people, you can't do it with strength alone. Attacks from these two sides have two different characteristics, power and speed, respectively. It may be easier to face one alone, but if you resist it at the same time, it becomes much more difficult.
In other words, this momentary block not only tests Drake's strength and eyesight, but also requires keen judgment and intuition, or in other words, extremely strong combat experience.
The Great Voyage respects the strong, and the pirates have the right to speak only if they have a big fist.
Therefore, even if the resentment between Urki and Kira still exists, there is no way to continue fighting. Otherwise, it is a contempt for those who stand in their way.
Drake's appearance is amazing enough, and it is the most intuitive reflection of his strength. Especially the moment when the freeze-frame stick shadow of the streamer was blocked, it had a strong visual effect and left a deep impression on the hearts of all those who watched the battle. At the same time, it also made them more convinced of the way to rank the strength of supernovas by the amount of bounties.
Although it is always said that the strength of a pirate is not determined by the amount of the bounty, to a certain extent, the strength of a person with a high bounty will not be much worse.
In this regard, the Navy's assessment of the bounty amount does have his reasons. Even if there are occasional exceptions, they are generally consistent with the real situation.
It's like, despite the intervention of Krokdal, the bounty amount of Luffy and Zoro has not changed much compared to the original book.
If you have to talk about the difference, it's Usopp and Nami, and they all have tens of millions of bounties. The Straw Hat Pirates have thus become the alternative stars of the supernova - they are the least numerous, but everyone has a bounty, and the total bounty even ranks first among the supernova pirates.
Of course, Sanji still has a hand-drawn aesthetic version of the avatar, and Chopper is still the cute 50 Bailey. (Well, Navy goodjob!)
Ahem......
If it weren't for the "Thor" Anilu, who had just become the Seven Martial Seas, and the leader of the Kidd Pirates, Eustace Kidd from the South China Seas, Luffy would probably become a well-deserved rookie king.
However, even if the bounty amount is suppressed, Luffy's sparkle is unacceptable.
In particular, his head is worth 300 million Baileys, and Kidd's bounty is only 315 million Baileys. Even if there is a gap in the middle, it is very small. Aside from being like "Joker" Bucky, the completely immeasurable man, 15 million Bailey is really a negligible number.
Straight to the point.
Drake suddenly stepped into the battle between Urki and Kira from the sidelines, and with an absolutely tough attitude, prevented the two supernovas from becoming white-hot - he was naturally not an ordinary blind eye, or an inexplicable emotion such as a burst of justice, but because he had a reason to stop it.
That is, the Celestial Dragon people appeared......
As we all know, the Chambord Islands became the back garden of the Draconians. And from time to time, there will always be bored Draconians who come to the Chambord Islands with slaves for a walk.
Especially when there are regular auctions like today.
Besides, today's auction has long been advertised, and there will be an auction of cherished mermaid slaves. It's not a race like a fish-man, without scales and fins, but a real mermaid.
Beautiful, rare, mysterious, noble......
and other words, which is the best portrayal of mermaids.
Even among the Draco people, it is a rare thing to have a mermaid as a slave. It's a luxury that can be compared to each other.
Therefore, it is almost inevitable that the Draco people will appear on the side of the auction house.
In the Chambord Islands, even the most unruly pirates dare not anger the Draconians. Because, what is ushered in must be only a way to perish.
Most people, whether they are navy or pirates, or the inhabitants of this area, know this very well. Especially for Drake, the former rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters who defected from the Navy, he knows far more than ordinary people, and naturally he is even more afraid.
Therefore, when Drake's eyeliner found the figure of the Draconian, he immediately chose to strangle everything that might make the Draconians feel unhappy in advance.
And among them, the first is the fight between pirates.
At the same time, he was secretly praying. There are several ways to get to the auction house, and those few Celestial Dragons, don't pass by here.
But Drake probably didn't know that there was something called Murphy's Law - that as long as anything had the potential to happen, it was bound to happen.
This theorem works everywhere, especially at critical moments like these, and it's more like a magnetic attraction that will always happen when you least expect it.
In the moment, that's it.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's inevitable, maybe it's to drive the plot.
Crockdahl chose this path to get to the auction house, where other supernovae were also active in several nearby streets. And those Tianlong people, who seemed to be a family, were also walking along this road, towards the auction hall.
What Drake found out, the other pirates even if they were a little late, all received the news. After all, with the momentum of the Tianlong people's travel, even if you want to find out, it will be difficult.
When the pirates were faintly commotion, Krokdal quietly left, avoiding the possibility of meeting the Draconians. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions when he saw those Celestial Dragons. He didn't want to see the arrogant and unstoppable ugly posture of the Tianlong people, so he was naturally even more reluctant to do things like bowing.
Being a human being in two lives, although it gave him a memory that surpassed others, it also made his Tianlong people's disgust multiply.
Beat up the Flying Dragons?
Of course, there was nothing wrong with that, and he was happy to do it. It's just that now is not the time, and if his plan is affected because of these few wastes, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.
But now that the Draconians have arrived here, then he has to go a little faster.
Time, however, is of the essence.
……
While the battle in the Chambord Islands was stopped by Drake, a battle that was well known but rarely seen in the Great Voyage New World was in full swing.
At this time, Akainu had already used the fruit ability to incarnate as a magma giant. Stepping on the moon, it rose to the sky under the wrapping of flames and gunsmoke.
And Akainu's opponent at this time, one of the famous Four Emperors, also greeted him with a sword fearlessly.
This is the first time in the New World that he's been in an unknown number of pursuits with Redhead. If it weren't for the fact that there were enough ships in his fleet, blocking the redhead's route. And secretly with the assistance of the Four Emperors Kaido, he may not be able to catch the slippery fish of the red hair.
But today, he finally got his best and last chance.
The red-haired ship had already become scarred in the successive battles because of the lack of opportunities to mend it. His proud speed, also limited by Akainu's fleet, was forced to stop and face him head-on.
Akainu believes that he will be the winner this time.
The victory he spoke of was not a victory in this battle, but a victory in a higher level of strategy. From the very beginning, the purpose of his operations leading the fleet deep into the New World was not to defeat and destroy the red-haired pirates. He also knew that it was basically difficult to do, otherwise the Four Emperors would not have been arrogant in the New World for so long.
All he had to do was muddy the waters of the new world. Of course, if possible, it would also be excellent to do some blow hunting for Whitebeard.
Kaido's intervention, the redhead's entanglement, and regardless of the process in between, judging from the results alone, Akainu has succeeded. I didn't get any more news of Whitebeard, but it was just an unplanned goal.
Now at most, it is to return to the original point, so that the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates will not be interfered by external forces.
The Navy has more ships and more people, and at the same time the high-end combat power is not inferior.
If it was just a war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the navy, and there was no other force to help, the navy would definitely be the victorious side, and Akainu was confident in that.
But this self-confidence is based on theory. Akainu also knows that there are always some people who cannot be measured by theoretical data, and this was the case with Roger in the past, and the same is true for redheads today.
So the key to deciding the outcome of the battle lies in his duel with the redhead.
He didn't need to beat the other side, and he knew it was going to be a difficult thing to do. All he needs to do is drain the energy of the red-haired pirates, and at best, be able to injure the redheads. At that time, it is natural that there will be an ambitious Kaido to help him solve the rest of the matter.
Maybe when the time comes to fight Whitebeard, he will be wounded in the battle with Redhead, and he will not be able to fight to his full strength. But Whitebeard will also lose the most likely and most powerful ally.
In another sense, this is the key battle that determines the trend of the war on the top.
And no matter whether they win or lose, the red-haired pirates will be out!(The novel "One Piece: Writing Pirates" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner "Add Friends", search for the official account "dd" and follow, hurry up!)
