Chapter 10: Nagato's Faith
"Sanji, Luffy!" The two powerful men of the pirates fell, and Usopp was so frightened that he swung his legs and couldn't muster the slightest courage to snipe at Nagato again.
"Wrist strength strengthened, carved hoof Sakura!" At this moment, it was Chopper who actually carried out a surprise attack behind Nagato.
However, as soon as Nagato turned around, he dodged Chopper's attack, and at the same time grabbed Chopper's hooves directly with his right hand: "Reindeer doctor, you better not fight me." ”
"Ahh The courage that Chopper mustered dissipated instantly, and immediately changed back to its original form, and its shrunken body escaped from Nagato's hands, and fled behind the stone without daring to rise up.
The battle ended too quickly, and the outcome of the battle left Nami, Usopp, and Chopper in deep fear. Even Luffy and Sanji have fallen, do they have to die here today?
Even Robin couldn't help but raise such worries. Although Nagato seems to be a reasonable person since he appeared, several strange behaviors and transformations have made Nagato's words seem to be strong words even if they make sense, and Robin stands up and says, "Please stop, Mr. Nagato, I can tell you the location of the golden bell." ”
"Bastard!" This time, no one in the Straw Hats was able to stop Nagato, but the Sandians disagreed. The three young warriors, including the mortally wounded Webber, all went to Nagato and yelled at Robin, "Shut up! Woman! That's a relic of Sandia's ancestors, and you're not qualified to speak! ”
"Guys, I'm so excited."
Nagato stood motionless and waited for the attack of the four people, but all four of them rushed to a meter in front of Nagato's body, all frozen, unable to move, and then rushed back by the invisible repulsion!
Nagato said in the direction in which Webb was knocked out, "I appreciate your ambition, but unfortunately I also have to take the gold with me. So, before you do it, it's a good idea for you to assess the difference in strength between us. ”
After saying that, he turned to Robin and said, "Okay, please tell me what you know." ”
Robin's right hand pressed her left arm hard, which was a sign of her nervousness, and she spoke: "Earlier, when Anilu thunder split a huge vine, a stone similar to the ruins of Sandora fell......
"And according to the direction of the huge vines, which just pass through the remains of Sandora here, plus the maps of Sandora and Gaya Island that we stitched, the only possibility is that the upward impact of the vines has brought the golden bell in the center of Sandora to a higher sky."
"Reasonable speculation." Nagato nodded, and then flew straight up, flying towards the sea of clouds that the huge vines stretched out to, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a black dot left above his head!
Call!
As soon as Nagato left, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and spit out the tension and pressure in their chests.
Click~
Behind him, the buried stone clamor made a noise, and Luffy, who was seriously injured by Nagato's wind escape, got up from the ground!
"Ah——!h Luffy raised his head and yelled, then his eyes widened but he didn't find Nagato, and shouted strangely, "Circle eyes, where are you!" ”
The Straw Hat Pirates' companions were silent, and they finally managed to free themselves from the pressure of life and death given by Nagato for a moment, and it was difficult for them to muster the courage to face Nagato again. To put it mildly, they were even afraid that Luffy would die in front of Nagato again!
However, the silence lasted only a moment, for soon Nagato took down the golden bell and the golden bell tower from the sea of clouds!
Seeing Nagato fly down again from a height of hundreds of meters, and behind him, it was so huge that there were probably 100-ton golden bells and bell towers floating steadily in the air, and then fell, Nami, Robin, Usopp, and Chopper's faces were all pale!
"Circle your eyes!"
Luffy also found Nagato, he gritted his teeth and sprinted in the direction of Nagato at full speed, and in the extremely fast running, his two arms had been stretched back with all his might, using the elastic attribute of rubber to store strength, and even the arms were spiraled and twisted like twists.
He roared at Nagato, "There is only the golden bell, and I must not give it to you!! ”
Webb, who has been injured many times and can really only move his eyes this time, the three Sandia warriors who fell to the ground by the repulsion, and the old chieftain all stared at Luffy with wide eyes at this moment, hoping for a miracle to happen, and praying that he would defeat Nagato in the air!
However, the truth is forged by action and strength, and it will not be changed by thoughts, not to mention, how do they know that Nagato's heart will not be stronger and more determined than Luffy and Sandia?
"Luffy, you thought your faith made you strong, but no." Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters...... Nagato continued to fall from the air at a uniform speed, looking at Luffy who was rushing over and said.
"Because my faith is stronger than yours!"
The chakra of the tailed beast level was finally no longer suppressed, and the chakra surging all over Nagato's body scattered around, as if it was a terrifying storm, and Luffy who was sprinting could barely stand!
"Rubber rubber ......" However, Luffy will not listen to Nagato's nonsense, and the things he believes will never change!
"Spiral rocket artillery!"
When Nagato was less than ten meters above the ground, Luffy, who stubbornly resisted Nagato's air pressure and rushed to the front, finally blasted his strongest blow!
"HRE Celestial Sign!"
Far more than ever, the repulsion of Pei Ran's condensed force was concentrated on an area the size of a human head, and it was so straight that it hedged towards Luffy's fist!
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Sandians imagined to be evenly matched did not appear at all.
The result is the opposite. The invisible repulsion crushed Luffy's fist, and Luffy's screams of pain and the clicking sound of his arms all showed that the rubber man's bones were broken!
Luffy knelt on the ground in pain, his hands spread out in front of him, his arms were stained with blood flowing out, and even bone stubble protruded through the flesh!
"Luffy!" Seeing this tragic situation, Nami couldn't stop crying, and Usopp and Chopper rushed over quickly to heal Luffy.
There is no doubt that the Straw Hat Pirates are already inseparable from Nagato, as long as they can not die today, they will definitely avenge Nagato in the future.
However, they didn't know that this was actually the result of Nagato's withdrawal. His full release of Chakra was just a threat to Luffy, and as for actually killing Luffy, he wouldn't do that, because he didn't intend to be a casual person who took someone's life, that was the beginning of arbitrariness, self-aggrandizement, and failure. So even if Nagato doesn't agree with Luffy's philosophy and path, Luffy's heart and behavior have absolutely no reason to make Nagato's killer.
When~When!
With two crisp and heavy sounds, the golden bell and the bell tower also fell steadily to the ground.
Nagato walked towards Luffy step by step: "Now, do you still want to say your big words?" ”
In addition to Chopper, who treated Luffy, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami wiped away her tears, Usopp set up a slingshot, and Robin crossed his hands in front of his chest.
Whether they are greedy for life and afraid of death, timid as a mouse, or on the boat halfway, they are staring at Nagato at this moment, preparing to fight with the determination to die.
"Golden Bell ......" Luffy's ten fingers kept trembling, but he could not make a fist, and in the end, he could only raise his head and glared at Nagato and said, "I can't give it to you!" ”
Smack!
Nagato stood in front of Luffy: "It's a stupid mistake to be an enemy of someone you don't know, and it's even more ridiculous to believe that your beliefs are right than the other party." ”
"The story of the Golden Bell is very moving, and I have the same admiration for Sandia and Mont Blanc." Nagato looked down at Luffy and said, "But leave the Golden Bell behind so that it continues to be a symbol of friendship here?" Monchi S. D. Luffy, you have such resources vacant just to pursue the so-called romance, which can only be equivalent to waste, or rather, it is no different from a crime. ”
"People in the world do not survive by stories, touches, and beliefs, but by material things!" Nagato slowly raised his right hand, palm facing the golden bell in the distance, "If you want to respond to Mont Blanc's waiting, I will ring this bell for you, but gold, it will not remain in your hands, let it be used as a decoration here, rotten and rusty!" ”
When ————!!!
The huge golden bell was hit high by the repulsion, and the loud and melodious bell spread throughout Shandora, to the empty island, to the angel island, through the distant space, to Qinghai and Gaya Island 10,000 meters below! Pass to Mont Blanc Kulikai's ears!
So, on the seashore 10,000 meters below, the corners of a man's mouth with his hair combed like chestnuts raised, and he scolded with a smile: "So this is the song, it's not bad." ”
Sandora.
Nagato turned around, "You have not committed a crime, and I will not take your life." But in the future voyage, open your eyes to see the world, there should be something more worthy of you than the pursuit of romance, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I hope to see your consciousness one day. ”
With that, he walked up to Proverbs and the Golden Bell, and flew away with the gold.
