Chapter 163: Death Doesn't Retreat

Ever since Doflamingo came to the conference room, there was always a smile on his face when he was talking.

But with Lafayette's arrival, the smile on Doflamingo's face faded away, and was instead covered in cold killing intent.

The winter-like killing intent was cathartic in all directions, like a trickle flowing in all directions, first lightly passing the senses of everyone present, and then converging on Lafayette, who was standing in front of the windowsill.

This move is undoubtedly sending a painless message to everyone at the round table - don't interfere.

Even if Doflamingo didn't do this, the other Seven Martial Seas would have stayed out of the matter, so how could they make a move.

Even if Lafayette blew up the walls of this room and then appeared in an arrogant manner, what did it have to do with them?

This is not their territory, and the people who have lost face are not them.

But for the Navy, Lafayette's act of breaking into the conference room with such a light gesture was undoubtedly stepping on a black footprint in this highly symbolic holy place.

However, regarding Lafayette's arrival, the three mainstays of the older generation of the navy, such as Sengoku, Karp, and Tsuru, on the naval side, behaved very calmly.

It was as if the person who broke into the conference room was not Lafayette, the so-called guide of the underworld under Maude's command, but a small animal.

On the contrary, the other lieutenant generals of the headquarters who participated in the Seven Martial Seas Conference together entered the battle state as soon as possible, and they would attack Lafayette in an instant with just one order.

But the Warring States did not give an order, so they could only press the handle of the knife and maintain the posture that they could shoot at any time.

"Doflamingo, this is not the place for you to come around."

When Doflamingo got up to vent his murderous intentions, Sengoku squinted, his tone was very calm, but it revealed an undoubted warning.

Doflamingo didn't go to see the Warring States, but stared at Lafayette with a calm face with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Marshal of the Warring States, I'm a person, but I've always been very obedient to the 'rules'." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Doflamingo suddenly crossed his arms, and the marble on either side of his body was assimilated into a tangled white spear in an instant.

Immediately after, the sound of breaking the air started!

The white-threaded spear with the end dyed pitch-black by the domineering color of the armament stabbed Lafayette standing in front of the windowsill in the air.

At the same time, Doflamingo's voice rang out: "Just to help your navy expel cats and dogs who casually intrude into important occasions, how can it be nonsense?" Right? ”

“……”

Sengoku was expressionless, and his gaze turned to the windowsill.

"Ho Ho ......"

Seeing the armed white-threaded spear volleying into the air, Lafayette's eyes froze.

In this case, the best option is to step back decisively, then jump out of the window and fall to the ground to avoid Doflamingo's attack, and then manifest its wings and fly back into the room.

However, Lafayette is well aware......

Once he takes a step back, it means the loss of [the right to speak].

Therefore, in the face of Doflamingo's murderous attack, even if he was seriously injured or even died on the spot, he could not show any cowardice.

In any case, the face of his own captain must not be allowed to suffer even the slightest defeat here.

Between the lightning and flint, Lafayette did not hesitate, did not retreat, and instantly entered the beast-like form of the fruit of the phantom beast species.

Suddenly, Lafayette's posture and posture tended to be delicate and elegant, and the upper body developed obvious feminine features.

Before everyone could fully see the changes in Lafayette's physiognomy and posture, Lafayette suddenly half-crouched down, and the pure white wings stretched out from behind him were covered by the armed color, and immediately wrapped his body tightly.

The white-tipped spears that came from the left and right pierced Lafayette's armament-colored wings.

Poof!

With a dull thumping sound, several bloody arrows splattered from the wings that had been pierced by the white spear.

Pieces of blood-stained feathers were blown away by the impact just now, and slowly fluttered and fell from the air.

Lafayette was injured, but he didn't retreat even a centimeter back.

“……”

Looking at this scene, several green tendons erupted in the corners of Doflamingo's forehead.

He knew he was missing a great opportunity to rip off one of Maude's [right hand].

"How daring."

Doflamingo said coldly.

He did not continue to attack Lafayette.

Because, the eyes of Sengoku, Karp, and even Lieutenant General Tsuru have fallen on him.

The implication is self-evident.

Lafayette removed his blood-stained wings, and his appearance and even his figure did not have the delicate and elegant meaning just now, as if the change just now was just a flash in the pan.

Tick, tick.

Blood trickled down his back and dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood in a matter of moments.

Lafayette didn't pay attention to the injury, and ignored Doflamingo's unrestrained killing intent.

Even if he was injured, his demeanor was still light.

Then, he looked at the Warring States Marshal with a slightly solemn face, patiently waiting for an answer that would allow the topic to continue.

But the Warring States Marshal seemed to be thinking about it and did not give an answer in a short time.

Tsuruma put his hands together on his chin, and his slightly scrutinizing gaze fell on Lafayette, and he said, "You are really desperate enough to protect Maude's face." ”

The eyes of everyone present were once again focused on Lafayette.

The act of not backing down at all even if he died just now was indeed contrary to harmony.

Now it seems that the reason is just as Lieutenant General Tsuru said.

"To be a fan of such a guy, Bacardi. Maude's ability ......"

Sand crocodile Klockdahl thought indifferently in his heart.

Jinping and Hawkeye glanced at Lafayette more or less highly.

Bartholomi's face is expressionless, like a sculpture.

In the face of everyone's eyes, Lafayette only smiled slightly.

That gesture provoked two more green tendons on Flamengo's forehead, and he almost wanted to suppress the idea of making another move.

"Click."

The sound of Karp biting down on the senbei reached Doflamingo's ears at the right time.

"......Shh

Doflamingo's face darkened.

If that blow just now could knock Lafayette out of the room, if not make Lafayette lose his life on the spot, at least it would ruin Maudena's plan to recommend herself as the Seven Martial Seas.

In this way, it can somewhat relieve his depressed state of mind that was made by Maude.

But the result is ......

Thinking of this, Doflamingo took advantage of the cover of his sunglasses and let the killing intent flow in his eyes.

He's in a bad mood right now.

It's just that the Warring States don't have the time to take care of his feelings.

"The female body of the bird seems to be not an ordinary animal, but a phantom beast." Lieutenant General Crane calmly looked at Lafayette with a smile on his face, and talked about Lafayette's beastly form just now.

"Ho Ho ......"

Lafayette's face was as usual, he was more resistant to the ability of this phantom beast seed fruit, and he would not bother to talk about this kind of topic.

Tsuru continued: "Phantom beast species generally come with at least one special ability, and the ability attached to your phantom beast species should be hypnosis, right?" That's why you can come here without causing any movement. ”

“……”

Lafayette's eyebrows twitched for a moment.

Lieutenant General Crane's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The female body of the bird has the ability to hypnosis...... It's a siren, but it fits well with Maude's new title of guide for you. ”

Seeing Lieutenant General Crane tell his bottom line in just a few words, Lafayette's smile narrowed slightly, and other than that, there was no other conspicuous reaction.

His Devil Fruit ability is indeed a phantom beast siren, and the female body of a bird is one of the characteristics of the siren.

Therefore, when entering the beastly form, his appearance and posture will change towards female characteristics.

But the key is that he is a normal man, and he will naturally resist such a beastly form.

This is also the reason why he rarely becomes a full-body beast.

Usually, at most, the local beast turns into wings to use the ability to fly, as well as the siren's natural hypnotic ability.

And in order to resist Doflamingo's attack head-on, Lafayette didn't think so much, and directly in front of everyone, he used the bird-like human beast form that he resisted.

With the increased defense of his beastly form, he was able to resist Doflamingo's powerful attacks without retreating.

"Ho, I said it before, my business doesn't matter."

The details were revealed on the spot, but Lafayette didn't mind much, compared to this, he was more concerned about the succession of the Seven Martial Seas.

As he spoke, he took his gaze away from Tsurumaka and turned to look at Sengoku.

"Bacardi. Maude ......"

After the trivial episode, Sengoku met Lafayette's gaze, groaned, and said, "In terms of strength and fame, he does have the qualifications to take over the position of the Seven Martial Seas. ”

"U-woo...... A guy with such qualifications on Weibo can also take over the position of the Seven Martial Seas, I'm afraid that he won't be laughed at by others. ”

Doflamingo, who was invisibly restrained and could not continue to attack Lafayette, naturally could not settle down honestly.

Maude wants to take over the position of the Seven Martial Seas?

Then he will contradict it no matter what.

If necessary, it is not necessary to use the relationship.

Warring States glanced at Doflamingo, and said lightly: "The meaning of the existence of the Seven Martial Seas is to deter and restrain other pirates, as long as the strength and reputation are up to standard, there is no need for qualifications at all." ”

"Woo-woo, you're the marshal, you call it up."

Doflamingo sneered, his tone clearly tinged with needles.

Sengoku raised his eyebrows, and instead of paying attention to Flamenco, he wrote Bacardi on the document in front of him. Maude's name.

Such a move indicates that he officially included Maude in the selection of candidates to take over from the Seven Martial Seas.

In fact, in all respects, Lafayette is right, and Maud is indeed the most suitable person to take over the position of the Seven Martial Seas at the moment.

Not only because of Maude's qualified strength and fame, but also because of his status to defeat Moria.

Therefore, if he takes over the position of the Seven Martial Seas, he can quell the turmoil caused by this Moonlight Moria incident as quickly as possible.

Based on this alone, presumably those who have the final decision above will gladly agree, right?

It's just that knowing that there is no more suitable candidate, Sengoku doesn't want to finalize the result so hastily.

"Do you have any comments on this?"

Sengoku looked at the lieutenant generals and the Seven Warriors who were sitting at the round table.

"I don't have an opinion, let Maude succeed the Seven Martial Seas, maybe it will be interesting, haha......"

To everyone's surprise, the first person to speak out was the legendary hero of the navy, Karp.

Everyone at the round table looked at Karp who was laughing and gnawing on the senbei with different expressions, and their eyes were mostly focused on the gun scar on Karp's face.

The originator of that scar was none other than Maude......

Jinping's eyes were lowered, he specially came to participate in the Seven Martial Seas Conference, in addition to learning more about Maude, he actually wanted to talk to Maude.

Once Maud succeeds Moriah as the Seven Martial Seas, it may make this a lot easier.

In front of the windowsill.

Lafayette has the chance to win.

This trip, except for his personal safety, the rest of the things are likely to be successful.

As far as it seems now, Maude's succession to the position of the Seven Martial Seas is a foregone conclusion!
