Chapter 80: The Trap
The brilliant morning light kicked off the new day, the golden Noah broke through the waves, sailing on the endless sea, from time to time a few seabirds spread their snow-white wings with black edges, chasing and circling over the Noah, from time to time into the sea, snatching up a fat sea fish.
Ace was standing on the foredeck in the wind, squinting at the birds flying freely, and his thoughts were like wings, and he didn't know where he flew······ Of course, it would be even more perfect if the two dark circles on his face could be removed.
"Everything is ready, the rest is just waiting······ The moment your brother said that. Taking Ace's embarrassment into her eyes, Lilith smiled maliciously. There is another sentence that I forgot to say, that woman is really good at swordsmanship. ”
Thinking of this, the smile on Ace's face was already stiff, and his legs trembled involuntarily, he glanced to the side, not far away, a white wing was exposed, and its owner was still struggling to hide his body, Ace's face became even more sad.
Lilith didn't say anything more, but the smile on her face was brighter and more evil at the same time.
"Is there really nothing wrong with your plan? I mean, with just a few unfounded inferences, can we really find out who is behind that? Sapo stepped forward, he had been suffocating all these days, first by the death of his companion, then by the revelation of the conspiracy, and to be honest, he still couldn't tell if it was all real.
"Allah, I said it, this is just a hypothesis, whether it succeeds or not depends on the favor of fate." Lilith thought for a moment, and pulled a dangerous smile again.
"Hey, how can there be such irresponsible, we are so tired and half-dead now, just to verify your speculation?" Morgan couldn't hold back his displeasure any longer, and immediately said loudly.
"Hehe, maybe it's not just half-dead in a while." Lilith's eyes gleamed with an eerie light, but instead of stopping to laugh, she became even more unscrupulous. "If someone dies by accident, that's fun."
"You ······" Several angry shouts rang out at the same time, all pointing at Lilith.
"That's enough." But Yuna, who had been holding Mrs. Luo from the beginning, looked at the tense atmosphere in the field, groaned slightly, and finally couldn't help but speak, she handed Mrs. Luo to Conis, and gradually walked in front of Lilith, meeting the other party's blood-red eyes, but Lilith did not dodge or dodge, smiling and looking at Yuna.
"Because it's Ace's order, we will do what you say, it doesn't mean that we already believe in you, it's just because we believe in our captain, I believe you know this better than anyone else, so ······"
Yuna's eyes froze, and her voice was cold and piercing, "As long as you have the slightest misdemeanor, we will immediately treat you as an enemy, please remember." ”
Lilith didn't say anything more, just closed the folding fan in her hand, stared at Ace, who had been ignoring everything in front of her from the beginning, and smiled more and more weirdly.
Although he has the bearing of a leader, it seems that he does not have the consciousness of being a leader, does not know how to control his subordinates, does not know how to reconcile contradictions, and does not even know what position he is in······ is not the consciousness of the so-called captain or subordinates, or does he have his own set of practices, so he disdains it?
"It's a big gamble." Her voice was soft, but with a determination that could not be retreated.
"Here we are." Grace, who was looking into the distance, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention, eight huge island fragments came with a turbulent wave, a day has passed, the divided islands are naturally going to reunite again, Sabo, who has already experienced it twice, is naturally very clear.
"Very well, everything has been met, then······ Penis. Lilith's face was as calm as water, and she stretched out her hand and beckoned back, saying something that made everyone present sweat.
"Please don't be careless and blow this island to pieces."
"What!?"
"What kind of method are you talking about, I don't understand it at all!" Ace held his forehead a little helplessly, "Didn't we start talking about it, the primary goal is to find out the enemy, why destroy this island?" ”
"Sometimes, violence doesn't solve the problem, but it can solve the source of everything." Lilith smiled and nodded, pointing to the desert island in front of her, even if she was half-squinting, everyone could still feel the cold chill in it.
"Now the other eight fragmented islands are about to coincide, and if you want to know whether this is natural or artificial, you only need to destroy the center to know, and ······" Her voice gradually became low, and everyone had to get closer to hear it clearly, "If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, he will definitely be angry, and he will take the initiative to come out to find you." ”
"Of course, if it didn't, it would be more perfect, after all, it's just a baseless speculation."
"Are you kidding us?" Morgan scolded viciously, this time it was not only him, but even Sapo and several other people had a bad face, saying that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, it was this woman who said it, and now it was she who guessed, and they had a feeling that they had been tricked.
Lilith didn't respond to the other party's cynicism, but looked at Ace with a thoughtful expression, "What, what does the captain's brother mean?" ”
Ace didn't answer, just walked to the bow of the boat, looked at the approaching island, four pillars of fire lit up on his back, and the whole person rose into the sky, seeing this scene, the corners of Lilith's mouth became larger.
"Cut, that ability is getting more and more convenient." Sabo is unforgiving, but he is still happy for the other party to see Ace's current level.
"Great Flame Ring—"
With Ace's shouting, countless platinum intertwined flames immediately appeared out of thin air, rushing towards the sky like meteors, and then flew down rapidly, flying vertically and horizontally on the sky above Ace's head, and in an instant the air seemed to be stagnant and solidified, and the golden flames burning on Ace's body were hot and fierce, and the powerful power roared and rolled, and the entire sea seemed to be evaporated.
"Hey, the captain doesn't really want to do what the woman says, does he?" Feeling the rapid loss of water on the surface of the body, Morgan even became a little hoarse, and the rest of the people also shook their heads, as if they were a little puzzled by Ace's behavior, but Yuna, Grace and Sapo and others had been staring at Lilith, but she was also motionless now, just looking at Ace in the sky, and let out a chuckle or two from time to time.
A golden fireball appeared where the flames converged, and expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, at first it was like a basketball, and it rose to dozens of meters in an instant, as if the surrounding air was absorbed by it, and then the blazing golden light reflected everything, and with Ace's angry shout, the fireball was about to explode immediately.
"Please wait!!"
A shout interrupted Emperor Yan's impending bombardment of the island, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Here it comes!
Lilith smiled in her heart, and at the same time shouted to Ace in the sky, "Don't stop, continue." ”
"-Emperor Yan!"
As if the door of death was opened, countless turbulent bursting power was introduced from the void, and the powerful flame energy from the "Yan Emperor" tore at the entire island itself, and the explosion suddenly became purple, and even the sun in the sky instantly lost its color, although everyone was shocked by this groundbreaking blow, they were more concerned about the island in front of them that was shattered.
"No !!"
Everyone heard it clearly this time, the voice was not single, it should be a summary from countless people, and its source was eight islands, as the islands drifted, the distance between them and everyone was getting closer and closer, Ace dispersed the flames around him, fell from mid-air, landed safely on the deck, nodded with Lilith, and commanded Anilu to bring the ship closer, and everyone reacted, it turned out that the so-called "bombardment" was just a disguise, in order to only draw out the person who made the sound.
It's just that now it seems that it's not just one person, but a group of people.
Before, because of the ravages of the red dragon, there was no third-party force on the entire island except for them surviving, and those pirates who had already slipped away when they saw that the situation was wrong naturally would not return again.
"Arara, it looks like an unexpected guest has appeared?" Lilith chuckled, but she couldn't hide the hint of mockery in her words.
"The islands are destroyed before they come out, and they really can't bear it." Sabo was silent for a while, then spoke slowly. "Do you have to kill them all? It's really hard to get started. ”
"Then what's going on, don't forget how the knife and Meiling died." Yuriko's eyes flashed with a strange light mixed with resentment, and she looked into the distance with a cruel smile, "Only death can repay death!" ”
The rest of the Sapo Pirates watched the movements of the two silently, not saying a word, not knowing what they were thinking.
And did not disappoint everyone, when Ace and they set foot on this island, the other party had already walked to the edge of the island, but when they approached, they found that it was not just one person, dozens or hundreds of figures behind the other party poured out from the depths of the trees like a tide, or trees, or paths, or jumped from the towering branches, or jumped out of the grass, Ace They were dazzled, and they didn't know how much they rushed out for a while. With a keen vision, Grace kept counting the data, and in just two minutes, more than 300 people had rushed out, and now the surroundings of the crowd had become very thick!
"Camus of the Red Lotus Pirates?" Kihara looked at a middle-aged man surrounded by a group of people, his eyes were full of doubts, and at the same time he frowned at Yuriko, it was not difficult to imagine that they knew each other.
"Pirates?" Ace's pupils shrank, he really didn't expect that the one who planned all this and made everyone kill each other turned out to be a pirate. And this pirate, Kihara even knows it!
"Kihara, who is he?" Before Ace could ask, Sapo had already asked.
"Red Lotus Pirates! We had contact with us when we were exploring the nearby seas before, but then we heard that they were swallowed by the black dragon. Kihara said in surprise, gritting his teeth after a while, "I really didn't expect that he was the one who caused all this!" ”
"Damn, I didn't know that there were so many people alive!" In the crowd, I even saw a few familiar Kihara's eyes jumping wildly, and he spat out angrily.
Sapo sighed and said, "It's really weird, I mixed in with the crowd before, it seems that it was to prevent us from detecting, to cover up the location of their hiding, I think the fight between the pirates after that was also provoked by them······ That's the price of impulsiveness! ”
Things have come to this point, and they can't figure it out.
