Chapter 30: The Witch's Pupil

I deeply feel that I need a Conan at this moment, no matter why I woke up and ran into the scene of the disaster, at least someone had to be kind enough to explain why Akainu-dai had put me on my waist?!

It's okay to lie in bed and sleep? As soon as I opened my eyes, it was like a bag of rice being carried by a man and stranded in the air, and such a novel posture almost made me bend forward in frustration.

Since there is 'only one truth', no matter who it is, even if it is a 10,000-year-old elementary school student with the Grim Reaper physique, give me a squeak in the wrong scene, and tell me what happened!

…………

Then, probably sensing the magnificent complaint in my heart, the force on my waist tightened again, the man's arm was imperceptibly retracted, and when I almost rolled my eyes without taking a breath, the scenery in my field of vision had a sense of flow...

The literary, literary, is degenerate, and the realistic point is to jump back to the ground from a height, PS: I'm face down.

Staring wide-eyed at the ground that was getting closer and closer, a scream choked in his throat, because the posture of the guide was wrong at a certain waist, and the feeling of seeing the earth rushing towards him in an instant was really...

It's a thrilling mood of the party jumping off the building, ┭┮_┭┮.

A large piece of flat stone slab almost stopped in front of me, in fact, it was only a few seconds, mainly because I was so frightened that I was confused, I only felt that all the blood in my body was concentrated in my head in an instant, and I forgot about anything.

After a long while, the arms wrapped around my waist loosened, and I slid down a little, my feet slumping on the ground, and I reached out to hold my shoulders and let me stand up straight.

I blinked my eyes as I saw it at a normal angle, and by the way, I was left to rest of my life.

Nima! This is a high-altitude extreme fall movement at all, and it doesn't have any protection, is it scared to death? !

…………

I was so scared by the line of life and death that my brain was not good, except that I couldn't think of anything, and by the way, my eyes were a little flowery, and my ears also brought out a buzzing noise.

How long has it been? It may not have been long before the discomfort of rapid blood flow due to the rapid heartbeat has subsided, and then the sound of chaotic running is heard from far and near, mixed with the shouts of soldiers, "General Sakasky!" ”

Belch? Turning my face stiffly, I looked at the rapidly approaching group of naval soldiers, and my mind was still a little confused for a while, 'Sakasky'... Who?

Belch...

A squad of Navy soldiers ran to the neighborhood and then looked very odd?

I continued to be stunned for a few seconds when I met their gaze, and then I reacted violently.

Isn't Sakasky the Admiral Akainu? And then, the one who just sandwiched my elephant bag of rice... Uh~ This hot hand is still on my back, its owner.

At the same time as I came back to my senses, I didn't even care that my legs were still weak, I was afraid to quickly evacuate the danger zone, and the admiral who melted the wall with one punch, and one hand on my back was too dangerous!

Magma, magma! Wait a minute, he didn't pay attention, my bones are gone, fall!

…………

My feet moved, and the temperature that had just been evacuated quickly caught up, this time on the back of my shoulder near my neck... Embarrassment.

I don't know if it's because of the difference in height between the two or what, in short, the admiral's hand behind him fell lightly and heavily on the back of the neck, touching the skin by the way.

Because the pajamas don't have a collar, now a small piece of skin on the back of the neck has been touched, and my cold hairs stand on end, and I always feel... The edges of the palms and the fingertips with rough calluses... There seems to be a bit of a grinding feeling.

It's like being bitten by a beast.

I kept my posture of wanting to run but was restrained, and my straight eyes were also confused when I saw the group of soldiers in front of me, and the navy, which was originally both vigilant and solemn, seemed to see a miracle coming, and their eyes widened and their jaws fell to the ground, looking almost stupid as I was.

The scene became a little eerily quiet, uh~ probably my delusion? Anyway, I didn't dare to breathe, but I was afraid that the crazy big hair behind me didn't know what to do.

A moment later, a noise unlike any other commotion sounded in the rear, like the sharp sound of a fabric tearing, and the strange dullness of some kind of balloon filled with water?

The Navy soldiers in front of them staggered their attention, their gazes turned to the rear, and then their faces became normal, their previous stunned stupores replaced by vigilance, and their weapons tightened tighter.

After a few moments, the temperature on my neck shifted away, and I turned my head, raised my gaze, and looked behind me with the others.

Behind... It's a collapsed ruin.

Just now, because of the wrong angle, I was in mid-air and my brain was so confused that I didn't figure it out for a while, of course, now... Let's put it this way~ I didn't see what was going on with the ruins, but from the slightly familiar surroundings nearby, I recognized the rubble as high as a hill that had collapsed to the ground, which was actually the admiral's dormitory building.

That's where I live temporarily.

And then... This area has experienced natural disasters** It looks very miserable, but the firelight, the firelight seen in the sky, and now standing on the ground, I realize that the light reflecting the red sky is not the Navy Headquarters, it should be————

The direction should be the town, and the chaotic sound probably came from there.

Mass riots?

I blinked my eyes, and finally cleared up one thing in my messy mind:

The destruction of the senior admiral's dormitory building seems to have happened not long ago, so I was saved from a deep sleep, right? If Admiral Akainu doesn't bring me out in time, my life is probably in danger at this time.

Belch~

Helper~

Thinking of this, I stole a glance at the wall of flesh beside me, and there was a little more gratitude in my eyes.

Although this general's behavior is like rescuing supplies, he is saving me from the water and fire, and he is simply noble and does not explain!

…………

With deep admiration, I quickly withdrew my gaze and continued to look over the ruins.

Top... This is probably the cause of the collapse of the building.

At this time, it was about the middle of the night, and in the light of the lighting facilities in the naval headquarters, there were faintly two lines of rapid slashing in the sky, which was also the source of the cracked silk-like sound.

The speed was too fast for me to see what was happening, but, I didn't have to see clearly, the lines and shadows intersected and staggered, and in an instant, there was a short sound of metal clashing, along with a flash of lightning that streaked through the air.

It should be a fight.

I half-squinted my eyes, trying to distinguish the shadows in the sky, and in the corner of my eye, the burly wall of flesh like a mountain on my side moved, and the hanging hand raised a few points, slowly but irreversibly obscuring the vision.

Huh? I took an exclamation in my mouth, and the next second, in front of me... The shelter is getting closer.

The man's palm is very wide, and the palm lines are deep and monotonous... Before it was completely covered, I even saw the lines in the palm of my hand, and there was a light-colored mole between the lifeline and the emotion line.

Hey, hey, hey! I can see your palmistry, right?

The lifeline, the emotional line, the career line, is deep and clear, and the red dog general, your palms are good~ The power of the mole in the palm is in hand... The other thing is, what are you doing covering my eyes?! We don't even know each other, do we?

I had to close my eyes, and I suddenly felt that this Akainu general was simply inexplicable in addition to being unreasonable.

…………

I can't see anything when I cover my eyes, but my hearing is suddenly better.

The sound of the battle ended quickly, something fell heavily in mid-air, and there seemed to be a faint smell of rust spreading?

Then came the sound of footsteps, a voice that seemed familiar, "General Sakasky." "The footsteps of the slow walk-in, the voice of the man who spoke... Quirky meaning.

The Admiral, who covered my eyes, whispered in response, and then the sound of neat footsteps came up like a tidal wave behind me, and then parted into a part of it.

Feeling that the gaze that fell on my body became more, and even the meaning in my eyes became more and more weird, I moved uncomfortably, my hand was raised and lowered, and I wanted to pat the palm off my eye... Now it seems to be again...

Okay~ To be honest, I'm actually quite scared of this Akainu general, although he rescued me, but... Admiral Akainu, this is a terrifying figure in my impression, and I would never dare to make any moves that would upset the other party.

After waiting for a while, the hand covering my eyes was withdrawn, I breathed a sigh of relief, blinked my eyes, and then saw a few meters away standing um~ a general who had seen it once.

With a scar on his face, he is the one who came to apologize, what is his name?

Met my gaze, this general who had seen but did not introduce himself, he also looked at me, paused, his eyes shifted a few degrees, and he quickly stared at the Admiral Akainu on the side and turned back, his gaze seemed... It's full of interest.

Stiffened for a few seconds, I pressed against the overwhelming black line on the back of my head, slowly, slowly turning my face.

Admiral Akainu, who was casually walking away a few steps, took it from the soldiers who stood nearby at some point... That may be the attendant of the Red Inu, because he is holding the clothes.

The half-fruit man with his back to me shook off his shirt and draped it over his body, unhurriedly buttoning it.

The corner of my eye twitched, and I quickly turned back.

Shogun Akainu... I think it~ It should be like this:

After exhausting himself to work, he returned to the dormitory, and the building was just about to rest, and the building suddenly showed signs of collapse, so the admiral who took off half of his clothes reacted quickly, after all, it is the highest combat power in the world~ Taishan collapsed and his face did not change ~ and then he could take the time to think of the civilians living next door.

So there was me who was rescued materials, and that scene just now.

…………

Then, turning back to his gaze, the general who stood in front of him who didn't know his name yet, it seemed that he was also resting in the dormitory tonight, dressed in homely clothes, with a knife in his hand...

The long knife had already withdrawn its scabbard, but the smell of blood in the momentum was obvious.

Glancing at the man with vague murderous intent, I dodged his gaze and looked a little farther away, trying to look through the guards around me at the ruins.

There are a lot of people blocking it, and the shadows seem to be cleaning up... At this point, I squinted and saw that the soldiers over there seemed to be the end of the operation, and a few people gathered in a certain area...

In an instant...

My eyes widened, and I only felt a churn in my chest, some stomach cramps, and I was nauseous for a while.

In the rubble and rubble of the ruins, the slightly dim light covers the different colors, and I shouldn't have seen anything, but unfortunately I'm too ... I don't know what to do.

When the soldiers' actions are over, the scene calms down, and the corpses are packed into piles... And so I saw it.

My brain was dizzy, I covered my mouth, my feet were weak, and my backward body instantly hit an obstacle, and then I was steady, and the low unfamiliar voice had shallow anger, "Don't look! ”

After speaking, the admiral spoke again, this time not far away, "Pack them up!" ”

Holding my arm with my backhand, I tried to take a deep breath, trying to turn my face away, my vision stiffening to move, the pile of things in the afterglow... Delusion, right? Why, I always feel that it is like the fragments of those lost lives have faded.

Yes, it faded for a while, like ripples, and the ink dripped into the water and slowly dispersed.

A shiver ran through my spine, and I opened my mouth, and it took all my strength to shout, "Get out!" ”

But it was too late.

When a soldier heard the reprimand, he hurried forward, and in an instant, he was mutated.

The stumps that had been piled up here and there melted into the air like smoke, and then the approaching soldier was jerked by the invisible, or should I say 'bite', and the young man looked terrified, his hands and feet in an exaggerated arc in the air, like a puppet tightened by thin lines.

There is a faint phantom that is born out of thin air, first the hands, then the body, then the lower limbs, and finally... Complete 'people'.

As the color of the 'human figure' was outlined and filled in layer by layer, the soldier was rapidly dehydrated, withered and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the screams were also weak, turning into a hoarse ho-ho, like a broken bellows.

…………

Sand crocodile?!

No, it's not!

While it's somewhat similar to the Sand Crocodile's ability to unleash Devil Fruits, it certainly isn't!

I subconsciously clenched my hands and stared at that scene in horror.

Extremely horrific scene, why... Déjà vu in your mind?!

…………

As if some kind of magic spell flowed, when the mutation occurred, no one reacted, maybe it was too fast, and it was too late to react at all, but in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of the young soldier turned into a dry bone, and the vitality disappeared in an instant, perhaps it should be said that it was taken away.

The terrible man casually threw away the skeleton and slowly turned around.

A young, pale, incomparably handsome face, with slightly straight long hair draped over his shoulders, and his dark eyes were calm and indifferent, with an indescribable demonic aura, he was obviously a handsome and flawless person, but his momentum was like a demon crawling up from the abyss of hell.

Seeing that face clearly, I subconsciously gasped, wasn't the stranger the face on the portrait that General Yellow Ape showed me?

In this way, the turmoil/chaos in the town will not be because the movement of Admiral Yellow Ape is too big, and the other party will fight back after waking up, or even, simply kill directly into the naval headquarters... Right?

…………

After a moment, the gunfire was loud.

The naval soldiers surrounding the vicinity raised their guns at the same time, pulled the trigger, and fired away, however, the man smiled and walked slowly through the dense rain of bullets/bullets on a spring day.

The gun/bullet attack did not work, and after a few moments, the gun/sound stopped, and the previous admiral struck again, the long knife unsheathed, and the light sound of breaking wind pierced the air, as bright as lightning and cold light cut a curved arc, aiming directly at the handsome head.

The man met the sword light, and his footsteps stopped slightly.

"It's a phantom!" I tilted my head, and at the moment when Admiral Akainu-san was about to bring me up again, I quickly reminded, "The entity is not here. ”

The general Akainu moved, his eyes lowered a little, his bottomless eyes, and his silent gaze, which brought out unrecognizable meaning in the original coldness.

I tried to put on a sincere face, trying to dispel the other person's suspicions, because... I know it's not the right time to speak, but I can't take care of it anymore, and since the attack is ineffective, everyone will be in danger.

I don't even know why I think this way, but I'm sure of it.

The black-haired strange man is an illusion, he is not one of those infected mutants, but, or should I say, the infected mutants are a low-class type, and the behavior of that man is... The behavior of alien creatures.

I must have seen the scene of sucking the life of a soldier somewhere!

…………

Admiral Akainu was expressionless, the corners of his mouth pursed more harshly, and in an instant he glanced away, his gaze was fixed, and his momentum was in vain.

I only felt something in the corner of my eye, the air shook, and in an instant, a sense of terror rose from my spinal cord, as if a sharp blade was cutting through flesh, and something was approaching very close without warning.

subconsciously stiffened, and his throat was as if it was stuck to a piece of 10,000-year-old ice, cold to the bones.

The temperature of my body and all the strength poured out along the cold in my throat, and my vision quickly blurred, and the sound that reached my ears became distant and close.

Out of the corner of my eye... A pair of eyes, looking like an ant.

"It's you, piece of shit."

The timbre is as soft as a spring breeze, and the tone reveals contempt and condescension, "Not dead?" ”

…………

In a few moments, Admiral Akainu unleashed the Devil Fruit ability without saying a word.

Golden-red magma, incinerated high heat...

The coldness in my throat vanished, and the murderous creature snorted and dodged, and was forced to retreat further away by the silent blade in the diagonal ground.

Admiral Akainu faded the elementalization, removed the claw attached to my throat that had melted to the point of remaining half of the wrist bone, threw it away, lowered his eyes a little, and seemed to frown before he said in a deep voice, "Stay away." ”

He scolded me, then threw me at the soldier behind me.

Then, I was carried out of the battle with all my strength and was surrounded by layers of naval soldiers.

The battle started in the distance, and the fight was very uh ~ fierce for a while.

Soon, the sword-wielding general retreated, leaving Admiral Akainu alone in the battle, and put his sword in his sheath, and the general turned back, and I heard the soldiers call him, "Lieutenant General Dauberman." ”

After responding in a low voice, the lieutenant general Dauberman walked nearby, stood still, and looked at the place where the magma was ejected, his expression was slightly cold, but his tone was softened, "Lady Anna knows it's a phantom? ”

Taking a few deep breaths, I slowly turned my gaze back, looked at the corner of the Navy Lieutenant General's eye, and opened my mouth... The shattered images churning in the depths of my mind suddenly turned into stormy waves.

Instantly drown consciousness.

The field of vision was white at first, and I felt that the whole person kept sinking like falling into the endless abyss.

The boundless scrolling images pass by, as if some barrier or shackle is shattered in an instant, and something buried in the deepest part of consciousness is about to emerge with bad intentions.
