Chapter XVII: The Clarion Call of War
Being despised and looked down upon, or even ignored is unbearable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNo matter how wide that person's heart is, if he doesn't say it, he will always feel guilty.
In the final analysis, this is the essence of human beings, the desire to be recognized and valued is not satisfied. This is a desire that is rooted in the heart of human beings, and once it is not satisfied, it is easy to breed antagonistic emotions. By extension, it's violence.
This is especially true for these people in the capital of seven waters. Whether it's the violent boatmen in the past, or the Frankie family who run rampant in the streets, when they are in the capital of the seven waters, whether it is the navy or the pirates, they will give them a few points. Naturally, the days of being the king and hegemonic have been too long, and it has formed a unique pride.
And this kind of pride is the most intolerable for the slightest insult.
It's like a strong gunpowder, even if it is soaked in rain, it won't change the fierceness in your bones. A little spark will still blow him upside down.
So at this time, Crockdahl's contempt undoubtedly became the best accelerant, so that these Luthers, who were tormented by fear and almost forgot their dignity as men, were discouraged, and their anger was ignited again.
They roared angrily, slapping the ground as if venting, throwing everything in their hands, as if that would make them more brave and resolute.
To this, Crockdahl had only one response, and that was even harsher sarcasm. And those Luthers, except for resentment, have no reason to refute at all. As Crockdahl puts it, they're a bunch of rubbish, a bunch of boneless soft eggs.
"We're not soft eggs! not trash! no!" they roared.
"We are brave warriors! We are fearless!" they retorted.
However, the verbal justification is pale after all, and they can only endure this "humiliation" with anger until they can find something that can prove their courage.
"Do you think I'm not right?" Crockdahl sneered, looking at the crowd without the slightest emotion, as if he were looking at a pile of dead things like stones and wood.
"Besides yelling here, showing your lust here, have you ever thought of resisting? Tighten your pants and look, there's dripping water there!"
"If you want to prove that what I said is wrong, then stand up straight for Lao Tzu! Sitting on the ground and shouting, do you want to win my sympathy......?
With a sneer, Crockdahl shook his head slightly. Behind him, slightly worried eyes scanned back and forth. And in the crowd, Robin, Nami and others were thoughtful.
"We're going to fight to the end!" We're going to beat them up!" Luffy was furious, his eyes red and he jumped out of the crowd, staring into Crockdahl's eyes without letting go.
Crockdahl, who secretly gave a thumbs up, did not change his expression, pulled the corners of his mouth, and continued to sneer: "In that case, then prove it to me? Do you want to defeat the enemy without doing anything? Are you really a bunch of fools in the navy?"
"Also, think about it! What are you here for? Hobbies, hobbies, and fun? I'm afraid not, what you want is victory, what you want is dreams! In that case, instead of showing your weak side here, you should move and prepare for the next battle!"
"Danger, it's not that you choose to forget, it will leave! If you want to survive successfully, you have to do it with all your heart, if you don't have the determination to gamble your life, it is better to be buried at the bottom of the sea, and you will not be ridiculed by the navy!"
Crockdahl looked at them, his voice seemed to be able to shake his heart, and he said word by word: "Even if you will die in battle, you still have to gamble with your life, if you can't do this, don't go into the sea as soon as possible!"
"The sea, the weak are not welcome!"
The words fell, and there was silence.
Crockdahl sneered again and turned away, seemingly not wanting to take another look.
At this time, in the sea covered with island debris, the waves from the tsunami were still endless. Although the island of Justice has collapsed, it will take some time for the fragmented fragments to be completely silent, and it is now rising and sinking with the waves.
The mist filled the sky and the sea. It makes everything here seem illusory, and it brings a rather vast and gloomy feeling.
From time to time, the gravel still falls off and splashes the waves, and at this rate, in less than a day, their temporary island will completely disappear and sink into the deep sea.
Crockdahl sat down on the beach, looking a little tired.
"That should be able to stir them up, right?" Reaching out and rubbing his temples, Crockdahl closed his eyes and began to fall asleep. He had to recover his exhausted physical and mental strength as soon as possible.
On the surface just now, he was angrily scolding, but in fact, there was still a magical force at work. That's Crockdahl's newly awakened sight and hear.
Seeing and hearing domineering, it can be said that it is the closest thing to spiritual power. In addition to being able to predict attacks and hear what others are saying, it can even have an impact on the minds of others. Just as Crockdahl just did, incorporating a domineering look into his words will naturally make those who listen to him feel an inexplicable sense of convincing.
If it is a high-level domineering user, even if he says bullshit nonsense, it can have a powerful encouraging effect, just like group hypnosis.
Even Crockdahl boldly speculated that it was possible to influence a person's thinking and manipulate that person's mind by directly using the domineering power of seeing and hearing?
Of course, this is just a thought, if it really has the effect of the Dark Archon, the power system of the One Piece world is probably really going to collapse.
The effect of seeing and hearing the domineering effect of others is closely related to the domineering intensity of the user. But at the same time, it is also related to the strength of the audience. It's like you can't make Crockdahl, mixed with seeing and hearing domineering, a few casual words can make Hawkeye redhead and the like rush up to fight for you with a scream.
But for these boatmen, who are only slightly more physically fit, it is enough. Especially after the ups and downs, the spiritual defense line of these people is the most vulnerable, and a little guidance can produce effect.
Stimulated by Crockdahl, the emotions of the boatmen were also stimulated, and after a roar that seemed to be vented,
These shipwrights, who were still sad a while ago, at this time, as if they had added a buff with high morale, looked at the sea with bright eyes, looking for the navy that might appear at any time.
At the same time, a hot scene also appeared on this temporary island.
The younger brothers of the Frankie family used their skills as shipbreaking experts to dismantle a huge dockyard. And although those broken materials could not be turned into ships, they were also turned into weapons in the hands of the shipwrights of the Seven Waters City, like an assembly line. And the most amazing thing is that before entering the assembly line, it was still broken wood and nails, but after it came out, it became a brand new sword. Even Frankie, who was in a state of great destruction, walked the assembly line, as if he had returned to the furnace once, and regained his perverted ā nature.
In this regard, Crockdahl can only say that this is the magical technology tree of this world......
At the same time, Xiao Wu seemed to have regained his vitality, grabbing everyone around him, and giving a speech like Crockdahl. He seemed to find motivation, foaming at the mouth, and there was some kind of longing in his eyes.
Sauron and others, who were unbearable, also joined the preparations after teaming up to pack Xiao Wu into a mummy form.
Zoro and Sanji helped carry it, and Usopp joined the casting team, and after one strange explosion after another, various things with unknown functions that could be called weapons successfully appeared. Of course, Luffy, who is running around, appears as a troublemaker, and in order to stop his hot-blooded state, Nami is tired enough.
Robin and Weiwei are following Chopper and treating the injured. In the upcoming battle, every additional combat power can give you more capital to survive. Besides, with Chopper's character, even if he is an enemy, he can't help but go to the rescue, right?
The preparations are in full swing, and it is a long story, but less than half an hour has passed. But in this tight time, everyone burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and showed extraordinary efficiency.
And it is against this background that the long-lurking danger finally shows its traces.
In the mist that had been blown up by the tsunami, ten blue-and-white battleships loomed. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the remaining forces of the Demon Slayer Order were assembled on the deck. Through the fog, they had seen traces of their prey. Holding the spear tightly, the cold metallic texture brings them the most reassuring feeling.
After all, what they have to face is a decisive battle, and the enemy is enough to trigger the existence of the Demon Slaying Order, and no matter how elite the navy soldiers are, they can't help but feel a little nervous.
While the battle flags were waving, the navy that came in formation sounded the horn of assembly. The Great War is coming, and the final battle is no longer a battle, but has risen to the level of war.
"Are you afraid that others won't know where you are?" even if you defeat two lieutenant generals, you must have a certain degree of arrogance, Krockdal-kun!" put down the monoculars, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, Qing En sneered, and under the laziness, he couldn't suppress his anger.
At the same time, the people of the Capital of Seven Waters also put down their work, grabbed their weapons and waited for the arrival of the navy. Whether they can break free from the shackles of the Demon Slaying Order is up to here.
"Whew...... I really don't want to fight, but sometimes I have to. Slowly opening his eyes, Crockdahl sighed softly.
"'Gentlemen, I like war' and so on, what kind of secondary two can say it, hehe......" grinning, still a little tired, Crockdahl turned over and stood up, and his smiling eyes also showed vigorous fighting intent.
"But it's really emotional to say it at this time...... So, let's fight!"
