Chapter 297: Goodbye Again
The full collision of the two humanoid natural disasters of the Pheasant and the Red Inu is completely beyond the scope of normal human comprehension.
It is like an ice comet from the deep universe that hits the earth, and the terrifying impact triggers the cracking of the earth's crust, the explosion of magma, and even the drastic changes of the entire geographical environment.
Steam, stones, molten lava, and ice chips danced in the storm, filling the island.
The ecology of this Punk Hazard island soon became similar to that of Earth when the Cretaceous dinosaurs went extinct.
Punk Hazard, who had been deprived of grass due to the poison gas flood, could not even survive the lifeless stones.
After dozens of moves, Akainu and Pheasant tacitly distanced themselves from each other and temporarily suspended the battle.
Both sides are secretly reminiscing about each other's performance just now, analyzing the next step.
Although the fighting has been suspended, the landscape of Punk Hazard has irreversibly changed:
Glaciers on one side, volcanoes on the other, ice and fire.
"He's getting stronger!"
Looking at the pheasant in front of him, Akainu's eyes became a little solemn:
With Akainu's understanding of the pheasant, he and the pheasant's development of fruit ability and physical attainments should be comparable.
Even, he thinks that he is even better than the pheasant.
But now, the pheasant's action is obviously much faster than before.
10% may not seem like much, but it also depends on whether the character's base attack speed is large enough.
For a rookie, a 10% attack speed bonus is dispensable;
But for a top powerhouse like Pheasant, the buff effect of this 10% attack speed bonus is extremely obvious.
His fists were already as fast as the wind, and even faster under the aura of the Debang flag.
In the brief confrontation just now, the red dog actually faintly showed signs of being suppressed by the pheasant.
"Why is that?"
"Could it be that Kuzan was deliberately hiding it before?"
Such a thought flashed through Akainu's mind, but he immediately rejected his speculation:
"Impossible."
"After so many years in the navy and so many tough battles, it is impossible and there is no need for Kuzan to hide his clumsiness."
Akainu has worked with Pheasant for many years, and is confident that he knows him well enough.
"So..."
"Why is Kuzan stronger than he usually is?"
As soon as the doubts in his heart surfaced, Akainu saw the determined look in Kuzan's eyes, which was very different from the past:
"I see..."
Akainu's heart moved, not only deeply moved:
"I didn't expect Kuzan, who is usually so unmotivated, to be able to burst out with such a breakthrough power for his beliefs."
"I said you were naïve before..."
"Indeed, I underestimated you, Kuzan!"
Despite their completely different positions and conflicting philosophies, Akaiu still has a sense of heroic sympathy for Pheasant, a sworn enemy.
"In that case..."
"I can't lose to you!"
In the midst of a deafening roar, the volcano that Akainu turned into once again ushered in an earth-shaking eruption:
"My belief will only be stronger than yours!"
"Meteor Volcano!"
Kuzan also uncharacteristically, roaring loudly in the middle of the battle like those young lads:
"Your absolute justice is wrong!"
"I'm not going to let the Navy become such a twisted organization!"
"Just let me crush your madness with my fists, Sakasky!"
"Ice Age!"
The two middle-aged uncles, who are more than a hundred years old, became enthusiastic for some reason.
The whole world is boiling for this blood.
Mr. Punk Hazard said he was panicking.
...............................................
By the time Galen and Caesar sneaked out of Punk Hazard and back on the ship, the ship had sailed miles away, and the distant island had become a hazy shadow.
But despite this, the rumbling sound from Punk Hazard still hung over the sky.
And the continuous shock and vibration made the originally calm sea become turbulent, so that this tremor was clearly transmitted from the sea water to the deck where everyone landed.
The sailors were already dumbfounded, and the children who had just been rescued were even more frightened by this apocalyptic sight, and they were no longer in the mood to play.
Anilu breathed a sigh of relief—
Now finally no one surrounds him like a panda, clamoring to see him discharge.
The crew watched from a distance for a long time, and even forgot to leave the ship.
After a long time, Galen finally couldn't help but come forward and remind:
"Everyone, don't look at it!"
"The pheasant and the red dog have a life-and-death duel, and it is estimated that there will be no five or six days to tell the winner."
"What?"
Hearing Galen's words, everyone was a little surprised.
Even Nami, who has been following Galen and has seen a lot of big worlds, can't accept it:
"Galen?"
"Can this go on for five or six days?"
As she spoke, Nami couldn't help but glance at the half-lit red sky at the end of the sea.
Although she had seen a similar power from Galen, she had never imagined that such a terrifying power could be described as a unit like "heaven".
"Absolutely."
Galen explained to Nami:
"The physical strength of the top powerhouse is extremely terrifying, and the vitality is also extremely tenacious."
"When the Golden Lion was in its heyday, it was a person who broke into the naval headquarters and fought for three days and three nights with the two admiral-level masters of Karp and Warring States before he was completely defeated."
Although Galen secretly buffed the pheasant, this battle will never be decided quickly.
After all, in the face of the intimidating super-thick blood bars of the Pheasant and the Akainu, no one knows how much of a 10% attack speed bonus can do.
"Oh..."
Nami nodded, but her expression was a little strange.
She didn't think that the decadent old ghost who spent his days slumped on the sofa of the airboat, smoking and drinking, and scolding Anilu and other apprentices to make fun of himself when he had nothing to do, would have such unimaginable glorious moments before.
"Actually, it's nothing."
Galen couldn't help but boast in front of Nami again:
"Although the pheasant and the red dog are powerful, my physical strength is much more abundant than theirs."
"With my current endurance, let alone five or six days, even if I fight for several months in a row, it will not be a problem."
"Well..."
Nami nodded, but her expression became more eccentric.
"Galen!"
Smoker's gruff voice suddenly appeared at an inopportune time, interrupting Galen and Nami's conversation that was gradually off topic.
"What's wrong, Smoker?"
Galen asked casually.
Smoker took a deep puff on his cigar and exhaled the thick white cigar smoke and the words that implied mixed feelings:
"I don't know where you're going next, but now that Virgo has been subdued, Dusty and I have been tasked with sending those children home..."
"I think it's time for us to be apart again."
"Separated?"
Galen was slightly stunned: "You don't need me to accompany you..."
"No, you don't."
Smoker refused categorically, and his face looked a little gloomy:
"I'm also a major general in the headquarters, and I'm not weak enough to sail in the new world and have to be protected by people."
Having said that, Smoker actually knows very well in his heart -
His own strength is placed in the new world, and it is indeed the lowest level.
If Galen hadn't helped in time, he would have been planted in the hands of Virgo's powerful corrupt element in the future.
However, while Smoker thanked Galen, he inevitably felt a huge psychological gap:
When he was in the East China Sea, he still covered Galen and did things everywhere.
Now in the New World, he has been reduced to a rookie sheltered by Galen's wings.
At this moment, Smoker, a "genius of nature" in his thirties, finally completely regained the competitive spirit of his youth.
Since he was determined to become stronger, he couldn't stay under Galen's protection like he was now.
This is also the reason why Smoker is determined to part with Galen.
"It's okay..."
Galen read Smoker's mind, and he no longer insisted on walking with him:
"In that case, let's say goodbye here!"
"Hmm."
Smoker nodded, and said solemnly to Galen:
"Galen..."
"It may seem unrealistic to say this now, but..."
"Trust me, I'll try to catch up with you!"
"Good!"
"I'll be waiting for you, Smoker!"
Galen responded seriously to Smoker's words, but in his heart he was noncommittal about Smoker's determination-
He's a wall-hanger.
The aura of the protagonists of the Straw Hats may not work, how can a normal person catch up with him?
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The two sides officially said goodbye.
Smoker and Dusty will escort the rescued children back to their hometowns on a warship before officially rushing to the G5 base to take up their duties.
Galen, on the other hand, took Nami and the others to prepare to fly into the sky and return to the airship, and then decide where to go next.
But before leaving, Galen stopped.
"Galen-senpai, what's wrong?"
"What else do you want to say to us?"
Dusty asked, puzzled.
Galen paused, and finally couldn't help but admonish Dusty:
"Dusty!"
"If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, remember to call me again!"
"I'm in the new world, on call!"
"Yes!"
"I will."
Dusty nodded gratefully.
"That's good."
Galen replied seriously, turned into a twenty-meter-tall giant, and stretched out his hands to hold Nami and the others into the air.
His speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a black dot in everyone's field of vision and disappeared into the vast sky.
“......”
Looking at Galen's disappearing figure, Smoker was silent, his eyes were very complicated.
"What's wrong, Major General Smoker?"
Dusty asked cautiously.
"Nothing... It's just..."
Smoker took a sharp puff on his cigar and said with mixed feelings:
"When Galen said that, I always felt..."
"I'm afraid we're going to call him again."
