Chapter 9: Never Die
Kingdom of Bourbourbon Harrow, in the royal palace.
Although the pirates' offensive was initially effective, the guards who risked their lives still stubbornly resisted, firmly protecting the little king behind them.
Luke, on the other hand, held his sword in both hands, silently on the sidelines, staring at everything coldly, as if he did not intend to participate in this matter.
Peter was still holding his dagger against the back of the captain of the guard, and the wicked smile on his face made people chill, "Sweet little king, don't you want the life of this loyal subordinate?" It's best to lay down your arms and hand over all the treasures, and maybe I'll be in a good mood and talk to the boss about letting you go." ”
"Okay, me." The little king did not want his men to sacrifice for himself, and wanted to agree.
"I didn't expect you to hide in the shadows all the time, and you have to wait until the last minute to show up!" The captain of the guard, who knew that the little king would definitely agree to this condition, suddenly spoke loudly, interrupting the little king's answer.
"Otherwise, I'm no match for you." Peter was a little flustered after the victory, and even directly said that he was not the captain's opponent.
"Really? Then I'm relieved. The captain of the escort whispered softly with a smile on his face.
Peter frowned, "What's relieved?" If you don't want to die, don't move. ”
"I didn't want to be exposed so early, but this is a surprise for Captain Luke! However, Mr. Lei has not come back for a long time, and even if he is not the opponent of Steel Sword, I will have to drag it out. The body of the captain of the guard began to emit a faint white light, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"What the hell?" It wasn't clear what the captain of the guard was going to do, but Peter knew it wasn't going to be a good thing, so he stabbed the dagger into it.
Suddenly, however, the light shone brightly, blinding everyone who looked at it, and Peter's dagger stabbed into the air.
The light came and went as quickly as they could, and when they regained their sight, they were shocked to see two identical captains of the guard, one of whom was gently wiping the blood from his sword, while Mickey's one-eyed corpse was lying on the side.
"As the captain of the kingdom's guard, how can you serve the people without a little special ability!" The two captains of the guard said in unison, looking very strange.
Both sides stopped fighting for a moment, looking at the two captains of the guard in amazement. The little king's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity, "I didn't know that Captain Phoebe had such abilities!" ”
"Ahem! That's because the captain has never been required to use all his strength here, and Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for too short a time, so you haven't seen it yet, and even our old guards rarely see it. A guard, who looked young, approached the little king and whispered to him.
Phoebe was rewarded by the old king after becoming captain of the Guard, eating a Devil Fruit that the royal family had bought. This Devil Fruit has an extremely peculiar ability, it can split the body into two intact bodies (including clothes and equipment) after being injured, and can remain for a long time after splitting, one of them will automatically disappear when the time comes, but the split body does not have the ability to continue splitting, and no matter which body dies during this period, it will not affect the other. Only when there is only one body left will it have the ability to continue to divide, but continuous splitting will consume more physical strength, so Phoebe has always been more accustomed to using this fruit as a life-saving ability, and has never used it in battle.
Just when everyone was in shock, a person on the field hid his body.
Struggling back to Luke, Pete reappeared clutching the thigh he had just been cut by Captain Phoebe when he was blind, his pale face full of hatred, "Captain, kill him and avenge Mickey and me!" ”
Luke looked at Captain Phoebe, who had split into two, with great interest, and instead of ignoring Peter's words, he invited Phoebe: "Hey! You have killed my boatswain and wounded my co-captain, come to my ship as compensation! How about I can make you a boatswain or even a co-captain? ”
Hearing Luke's words, Peter showed an expression of disbelief, obviously not expecting Luke to be so ruthless.
The two Phoebe captains didn't answer, but rushed over with swords and shields, and rejected Luke's invitation with their actions.
Looking at the captain of the guard, Luke's smiling face turned cold, and he raised the steel sword with one hand and pointed at the two of them, "Since you are in a hurry to find death, then I will fulfill you!" ”
Looking at the three people who were finally about to fight, Peter disappeared expressionlessly, "Captain Phoebe? A sea thief with a bounty of more than 200 million is not something you can imagine, maybe your fruit is peculiar enough, but it is useless in the face of absolute strength. ”
Facing one of Phoebe, Luke swung his sword at his face, the blade flashing with a strange coldness, and although it was not close, it made Captain Phoebe's face sting.
Raising his shield, Captain Phoebe tried to take the sword and secure a gap for his alter self. However, to his surprise, Luke's sword directly cut his shield and head in half, and blood mixed with slurry burst out of the two halves of the head, and then the corpse turned into a point of light and disappeared.
Seeing the horror of his other self's death, Captain Phoebe gritted his teeth and prepared to attack before Luke could withdraw his steel sword. To be on the safe side, he half-covered his body with his shield, and his sword stabbed Luke's abdomen wide open.
"Sonorous!" The sword and Luke's abdomen made a metallic collision.
Captain Phoebe didn't stab the sword in the slightest bit with all his strength, and he was stunned.
The steel sword slammed sideways, and Luke slammed the steel sword's blade on his shield while Phoebe was still fighting with his stomach.
"Boom!" Even through the shield, Luke's huge force still shocked Captain Phoebe to vomit blood, and the whole person was knocked into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, and his body slid out more than ten meters away.
Enduring the severe pain, Phoebe's body began to emit white light, and in the blink of an eye, it split into two intact bodies, but the wheezing sound was much worse than before.
"Come again! We don't die! As if there was a real fire, Phoebe's eyes turned red and she stared straight at Luke.
......
The Holy Land of Mary Joya, the Third Colosseum.
The older Draco opened his mouth wide and stared at the fallen slaves on the field in a daze, and the smug taunt of the young Draco sounded in his ears.
Tiger listened to the cheers from the audience without sadness or joy, he knew that it was not for himself, those people just liked to see such violent pictures, and saw someone fall and fight, just like the man who was knocked down by himself.
"I'm going to get out of here, I will!" Tiger walked out of the gladiatorial arena, his back lonely and not like a victor.
