Chapter 427: The Right Minister's Pleading
Fish man and human, the birth of this combination.
It reminded Fang Xing of Hody in Fish-Man Street and Doflamingo, an arms dealer who was ready to use Fish-Man Island as a trading platform, if Fang Xing guessed correctly, the two should have cooperated.
And this trip to the troubled waters also means that he has to participate, after all, Doflamingo has a grudge against him, and it is still beneficial for him to be able to stop him from growing his power. It's just that when he speaks, he doesn't want to say it.
His statement, while normal, seemed cold, at least for Papagu and Kemi. Although His Royal Highness the Prince was preparing to be exiled with them, Fish-Man Island was still the place where they were born and raised. In the case of Ryugu Castle's attack, they were still on Ryugu Castle's side.
"Can you help Ryugu Castle?" Kemi and Papagu pleaded. Especially Kemi was even more convinced of Fang Xing's strength, in the Mermaid Cafe, Fang Xing showed their strength that Kemi had never seen.
"I feel like it's us who needs help right now." Sanji raised the hand that was chained, and tried to exert his strength but kept breaking the handcuffs of Hailoushi. The pain from his wrists and the handcuffs of Hailoushi, which were not deformed at all, made Sanji discourage him from breaking free with brute force.
"Hey, Papagu, will you be able to undo these shackles?" Sanji asked, as if he was very confident in the handcuffs of Hailoushi, and did not leave any personnel to supervise them, and all the fishmen rushed out to support.
Papagu glanced down at his slender and soft arm, then jumped to his feet and tried to break the hard Hailou stone handcuffs.
"Do you think I can do it?" He asked rhetorically.
Sanji suddenly felt that his problem was funny enough, even his strength couldn't affect the handcuffs, how could the strength of a starfish be done, first of all, there had to be a key.
"Anyway, get out of here first, and then hide it." Sanji said.
They just locked their hands, but not their feet. In the case of not understanding the surroundings, the urgency of delay is to find a place to hide, and then understand the situation before making a decision.
"Come with me, I know where to leave." Fang Xing said.
"You know?"
"I had already checked the situation when I came in here. Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing while I'm waiting? ”
Sanji and the others thought about it, and it was true that during the time they were waiting just now, Fang Xing was walking around the room. They instinctively thought that Fang Xing was just bored and curious about the surrounding carvings to do this, but they didn't expect it to be so.
"Do you have paranoia about victimization?"
"No, but I know that the defensive heart cannot be abandoned."
Sanji inexplicably felt that it made sense, and the heart of defense was essential. As he took for granted, the mermaid princess's brothers were benevolent. But I didn't think that it was a person who persecuted his benefactor because of prophecy.
Robin also pondered with deep feelings, and she knew this for a long time in the dark world. Even Fang Xing's purpose for coming to Fish-Man Island this time, she was skeptical.
Is it really just looking for old friends? When he learned that Aquaman was hiding on Fish-Man Island, he was really indifferent?
To be honest, Robin couldn't tell. At some point, Fang Xing is an iron rooster who cares about profits, and can make people surprise his calculating and thoughtful. And sometimes, he abandons his interests and the footsteps of the normal path and chooses the wrong path. This is a "changeable person", which is Robin's sense, no one knows what his choice is based on, perhaps only he knows the starting point.
There were no other fishmen in the room, and the sounds of battle resounded from the periphery. Led by Fang Xing, Sanji carried Robin on his shoulder, while Papagu carried Chopper towards a ventilated window in the room.
"Sanji kicks this." Fang Xing pointed to a natural coral reef window in the room and said.
Sanji didn't hesitate, and in an instant, he used his sharp legs to kick and hit this valuable window. The reef window cracked, revealing a path leading out of the room.
"This is...."
The crowd let out a cry of consternation, and what caught their eyes was a hidden natural path. The coral reefs, shells, rocks, and foliage, which were originally used as decorations, just obscured the view of others, but instead formed a winding path.
"How did you find here?" Papagu asked curiously.
"See."
"See?" Almost no one will believe this answer. Because when looking out of the window, it was a lush landscape, and there was no way to predict from the scene that there was a road inside, I am afraid that even the original designer did not expect it, but Fang Xing just found and "saw" it while wandering around like that, no matter how you think about it, it feels strange.
"Yes, I see."
This path is seen through the sensitive calculation of light and ability. Fang Xing did not give a specific explanation, and even if he did, I am afraid that few people would believe and understand this answer. But no one was going to ask him anything more specific, he was always so strange, and in a strange way he solved the troubles.
"Anyway, let's get out of here first." Sanji humped Robin, and Robin's heaving chest pressed against his shoulders, making him feel a burst of happiness. How he wished he could stay and let time stand still in this moment. But he also knew it would be too dangerous to stay here.
With Fang Xing's nerve knife, who knows what he will do when he is really in danger.
No one rejected the offer, and they all went down this path first. Outside was even more chaotic than imagined, and the prelude to the battle that had been opened by the signal flare had lasted for more than ten minutes, but it did not mean to stop at all, but intensified.
Most of the weapons used by the soldiers of Ryugu Castle were primitive cold weapons, and they were a little powerless in the face of hot weapons that invaded the enemy. But because of their strong resistance, they filled up this disadvantage a bit, resulting in a stalemate in the battle.
"Damn, how do you dive out." Sanji shouted quietly. The path is not endless, and after about a few hundred meters of sneaking, the road ends at a corroded rock.
Kemi and Papagu also had the ridiculous idea of saving Ryugu Castle anymore. With the battle taking place right in front of you, it is already a far-fetched idea to be able to save your own life.
"If you hide it here, can you avoid it?" Papagu asked fearfully.
"Nope." Sanji shattered Papagu's illusion, "Keep staying here to destroy the window wall, and someone will find out soon." It's okay to say if Ryugu City wins, after all, their purpose is only to exile us, if those who invade win, the ending... Fear. ”
I'm afraid they will choose to kill, and with the way they treat the fish-man soldiers at the moment, you can know that they are not good people.
Papagu and Kemi's bodies trembled even more, and they remained stunned, as if Fang Xing, who had nothing to do with them, rarely spoke.
"Look at Chopper next to you, and you don't think it's okay."
In the situation that some people were constantly injured, the weak Chopper kept his eyes firmly on it, and the handcuffed hand was placed on the medical box that was close to his body, which obviously meant that he wanted to be treated.
"Are you crazy? The opponent has a gun! Papagu was moved and scolded Chopper's madness at the same time.
Even though he knew the danger, Chopper didn't change his mind. It's its responsibility as a doctor, and if it leaves, Lady Doriel won't forgive it. And it will not forgive itself, and it will not be able to leave the wounded alone if it takes the duty of a doctor as its own responsibility.
"What are you going to do?" Fang Xing asked.
"Smuggle people in here, and save as many as you can." Chopper said weakly, in fact, in addition to having this heart, it is even difficult to raise his arm to help someone apply medicine.
Before Fang Xing could answer Chopper's question, Papagu first showed a look of astonishment.
"Isn't that the Right Minister?"
Although Papagu has never been to Ryugu City, he still knows about the big names in Ryugu City. The right minister is a seahorse fishman, commanding the soldiers of Dragon Palace City, a big man who wants to be a big man, and also the left and right arm of King Neptune.
But now such a figure is lying in a pool of blood, his eyes are blurred, his arms are far-fetched, and he wants to get up but can't do it.
"How so...?" Papagu said.
"It's much more tragic than I imagined."
Originally, Hodi would have attacked Ryugu City later, but it was not so tragic, he just hated humans and the weak fish-man royal family, and did not kill the soldiers, and the casualties were not very serious.
However, when the Fishmen of Fish-Man Street get their weapons, it means that it will be difficult for them to keep their hands on. The brutal nature is hard to keep in the hands of equally brutal weapons.
"Please, save him... Well, it's hard for me to be strong. Papagu asked Fang Xing for help, and when it saw such a big man in such a position, it couldn't sit idly by, but its ability couldn't do it at all, so it chose to call for help.
Of course, the timing of this call for help was not appropriate, as it had seen, Hai Lou Shi's handcuffs firmly locked Fang Xing's arms, and this result did not change.
It thought about it and finally made a decision that it was up to it to rescue the Right Minister.
Papagu sighed. Well, it admits that it was an absolutely stupid decision, at least that's what he felt, but he had to.
It looked at Kemi and nodded.
Kemi understood what it meant and stopped, "Papagu, don't do anything stupid. They have guns, and here they are a hundred meters away from the right minister, and they will definitely be found if they run out. ”
Although she also knew the Right Minister, she valued Papagu more.
"Kemi... I knew I couldn't, but I wanted to try anyway. ”
Just as they were lyrical, Fang Xing had already said to Shanzhi: "You cooperated with Chopper on that trip." ”
"What? Under such a rain of bullets, how to pass? Sanji retorted. Fang Xing simply said that you rushed over with Chopper, so easy and natural. You know, although his feet are not cuffed, it does not mean that his foot skills will not be affected, and his body is difficult to maintain balance due to the handcuffs.
It is not a simple matter to break through at least a few hundred fishmen with guns, and once you make a mistake, you may pay for your life.
"I've always felt that it's not difficult for you, you can dodge bullets at your speed."
"Even if I could dodge, it would be too exciting for me."
"I think you saved the right minister's words, maybe... You can also meet the fish-man princess. Think about it, you have saved such an important person, it is not difficult to get a chance to meet. ”
Even though Sanji knew that Fang Xing had said this on purpose, he still made a compromise. He had to admit that it was an opportunity.
"Okay, I'll go. So what are you going to do? Staying here? ”
"As you should see, I've been handcuffed to Hailou Stone." Fang Xing said, the implication is that you come on, I will watch the play. The Hailou Stone Handcuffs have an absolute effect on those with Devil Fruit abilities, and Sanji also knows this.
"Hailou stone handcuffs will make the capable lose their ability and strength." Robin said softly that her physical fitness was not strong in the first place, and she was even weaker after being handcuffed by Hailou stone.
"I don't think that includes you, though. If this works for you, you won't agree to be copied. ”
"Uh... You are very smart. Fang Xing exerted his ability on the handcuffs, but the keyhole of Hailou Shi's handcuffs was keyless, and it slowly fell out of his hand. Fang Xing uncuffed the other people's hands in the same way.
"It's hard to imagine... I thought that the seawater was because it was not in contact with it, so I was not surprised even if I controlled it, but... The same goes for Hailou Stone, which means that your abilities are not afraid of seawater. Robin sighed.
Fang Xing spread his hands, how could he be afraid of sea water if he hadn't gained his ability by eating the Devil Fruit from the beginning.
"It's not time to sigh, I think it's better to deal with that side first."
Robin nodded, crossed his arms, and Flowey's abilities moved. The fishmen who strafed the battlefield with guns in hand found that their hands could not pull the trigger at all. They were firmly bound to their joints and could not move. The pliable arms exert pressure little by little, knocking them out.
"That's amazing," Kemi exclaimed.
"Miss Robin," Sanji shouted with the same excitement.
Chopper had already rushed out after being unrestrained by Hailou Shi and ran towards the right minister who had fallen to the ground. I took out the medical kit and hurriedly took emergency medical measures.
The effect was significant, but the right minister was still very weak, but he opened his eyes. In the first moment he opened his eyes, the point he cared about was...
"Your Highness the Princess... They are going to kidnap Her Royal Highness and threaten King Neptune..."
"What! Kidnapping the Fish-Man Princess? Sanji snorted, his face showing no less anger than anyone's.
Papagu Kemi and they were also surprised, attacking Ryugu Castle and kidnapping the mermaid princess. When did Dragon Palace City, where they were proud of Fish-Man Island, become so chaotic.
"Please...... I don't care, I'm going to save Her Royal Highness first. The right minister pleaded. The seahorse's long nostrils spurted blood from its mouth.
