Chapter Ninety-Six: Half-Step Eighth Order! (Above)
Is it a double-edged wing?
Looking at the twin knives in front of him, Higashinohara fell into a deep groan.
He and Tokugawa Kuritora have met three times and fought once, no, strictly speaking, it is not a fight, at most it is a "show".
But did the other party guess something?
Or maybe he just knows that he is a double knife stream, so he wants to protect Nishimaru Miri with all his heart.
It's just that... Wouldn't that be too expensive?
However, after thinking about it, Tokugawa Kurita regarded Nishimaru Miri as his own, and it is difficult to say from the perspective of how much he attaches importance to him......
Higashinohara's heart was full of distracting conjectures.
What he didn't know at the moment was...
On the morning of the first day of the new year, the sun is shining in Tokyo, and the atmosphere of the new year is full of festivity.
At this time, all the people who were watching the morning news of the TV station in Wano Country fell into great astonishment and shock, and it quickly caused an uproar at the top.
The residence of the Prime Minister of Wano Country, the private club of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the special district of the Celestial People's Court, and the National Assembly building are also in a completely different atmosphere...
Countless officials of Wano Country walked back and forth with frightened and dazed expressions, whispering and exchanging in an oppressive atmosphere, looking at the far north from time to time, as if they still couldn't believe it until this moment.
It all came from this morning's morning news live.
On the occasion of the people's celebration of the New Year, the "important weapon of the country" Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger, who went to Hokkaido to inspect the seas...
I was attacked in my own sea!
......
Office of the Prime Minister.
"Pirates? Which gang of pirates dares to be arrogant? β
The current Prime Minister, Hiroshi Kazu, also put down the tea in his hand heavily, pointed to the TV screen in front of the office, and asked angrily.
The loud voice fell silently...
No one responded to the Prime Minister's angry questioning.
Because no one in the audience knew where the pirates with black one-horned bows on the sea came from.
They seemed to appear out of thin air, and as if they had just been announced on the first day of the new year, they were like their ghostly navy that had bypassed the North Sea and appeared off the coast of Hokkaido.
Everything was so sudden!
There was silence in the office.
Looking at the people around him, he was also more and more angry!
Commander Tokugawa Kurita's Third Investigation Group was attached to the Metropolitan Police Department, but in fact it was a parallel organization to the Metropolitan Police Department, reporting directly to the successive prime ministers.
Although reason told Yuya Tatsu that the Tokugawa Kurithu was a seventh-order peak ability.
When the idle pirate meets him, he is just looking for death, but there must be a demon when things are impermanent, but his heart is inexplicably shrouded in an ominous premonition.
Prime Minister Yuya Tatsu took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly and pressed his hands on his desk, looked at the communications liaison officer and said, "When will the nearby Maritime Guard be able to support you?" β
The communication liaison officer hesitated, and said with some difficulty, "The Maritime Guard of Shari Port is escorting the trading transport ship back to port, nearby... There are no ships that can support it for the time being. β
Hearing this, Yuya Yuya's face suddenly became even more ugly.
He immediately ordered, "Inform the escort team escorting the transport ship to divide it into half... Wrong! Immediately dedicate all your forces to support the Tokugawa team leader! Command to execute! β
"Yes!" The correspondent immediately ran out.
At this time, in the Oval Office, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, who was standing in a corner, suddenly said, "I support the Prime Minister's order, human life is greater than heaven, and Tokugawa Team Leader is our right-hand man who must pay attention to it, but I don't think you need to be so nervous." β
A smile appeared on the fat face of Foreign Minister Takumi Amuro, "Everyone knows the strength of the Tokugawa team leader, and I think that ordinary pirates will only kill themselves when they come up." β
"Amuro-san is right."
A member of the Diet next to him also echoed and said with a smile, "With the strength of the Tokugawa team leader, I think the ones who should be worried about now should be those pirates." β
"yes, yes."
"Team Leader Tokugawa must be fine."
β......β
With the support of several councillors, the atmosphere in the office seemed to have eased again.
It seems that there is really no need to worry so much about this matter, it is just a small episode of the sea patrol in the New Year.
Prime Minister Hiroshi Kazutsu also looked at the smiling parliamentarians and ministers quietly, and a hint of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes, and finally his eyes fell on Foreign Minister Taku Amuro.
The latter raised his head as if he had noticed it, and glanced at Yu Yu with a smile.
The two looked at each other at a touch of eye.
It's just that Prime Minister Yu Yuzu's hands on the desk are getting a little harder, and you can faintly see the green tendons protruding from the surface of your hands.
.......
On the sea north of the Nemuro Strait,
A huge rain cloud floated overhead, rolling like an inverted mountain, and the sky that had been clear suddenly became gloomy.
The terrible siren sounded suddenly!
On the warship, the crew members, who had spent New Year's Eve boredly and were thinking about where to go on vacation for the New Year, raised their heads in amazement and confusion and looked at the suddenly dim sea around them.
"Warning, warning!"
"We are surrounded by unknown ships!"
With the sound of the warship's announcement, all the crew members looked at the small black dots that appeared on the blue edge of the sea and sky in the distance, and quickly grew larger in their field of vision.
In the end, it turned into pure black unicorn warships, like ghosts in the depths of the sea.
What's the situation?
On the deck of the warship, Miyano Juro, the captain of Miyano's sixth team, who was holding coffee in his hand, squinted slightly at the black warship surrounded by him, and looked at the strange black unicorn skull flag that was straightened in the sea breeze on the opponent's warship, and his brows suddenly wrinkled even deeper.
Is it a new pirate out of nowhere?
But there is no reason for the other party to dare to provoke their warship.
Could it be like the pirates in the morning, tearing off a piece of meat from the disintegrated and annihilated Grand Duchy of Shayash and wanting to come and talk to them about business?
But this is obviously not what it looks like to talk about business.
Just when Miyano Juro frowned and was puzzled, suddenly, an exclamation came from the stern.
He turned his head horrily,
The pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw a huge flame cut through the dark sky like a meteor, and fell to the stern of the warship, causing a violent explosion!
Under the impact of the sharp explosion, countless people in the cabin suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the ground, but they all struggled to get up and quickly rushed back to their posts.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Quickly check the damaged state of the hull."
"Damn! It's an ambush! The other side has mastered our routes. β
β......β
The crew of the warship where the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger was located was able to participate in this patrol aerial photo, and they were undoubtedly the elite of the Maritime Guard.
After blocking the sudden onslaught of flames with the sturdy hull of the ship, the group quickly regained their composure and began to check and look for an opportunity to fight back.
However, what everyone did not expect was that
And that's just the beginning.
After the first round of flame attacks, countless cannonballs and energy bombardments of elemental abilities bombarded the warship like a rain frenzy.
There was another explosion in the stern, the engine was damaged, and part of the propulsion was immediately lost.
In the face of this fireworks-like attack, under the long golden wavy hair of Juro Miyano, the captain of the sixth team, the blue and purple eyes instantly separated from the blue and purple!
Suddenly, the light that centered around him began to distort and refract.
In the blink of an eye, the attacked warship beneath its feet was enveloped in a mirage of confusion on the sea, and the image presented to everyone became blurry.
γMagicianγ
Talent Sequence 41's Elemental Light ability.
Controlling the light to form an illusion is just a small trick, but being able to completely hide such a huge warship depends on the powerful use of abilities and amazing talents, and Miyano Juro, a celestial and human half-breed, is such a talented sixth-order peak superpower.
Bang bang bang!
For a while, the sound of water stirred up by countless explosions could be heard on the surrounding sea, but a small number of stray bullets and energy explosions dispersed and affected the warship.
"Well done."
The Tokugawa chestnut tiger appeared on the deck at some point, listening expressionlessly to the sound of the explosion and turbulent water in the surrounding environment, and asked the liaison officer on the side:
"How long will it take for support to arrive?"
The difference between the number of friends and foes is too great.
Even if the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger was really a seventh-order peak absolute ability, he couldn't protect the lives of a boatload of people, not to mention that the current situation and strength of the pirate group surrounding them were unknown, which was also the reason why he didn't make a rash move.
"Report! It will take an hour for the returning escort to arrive at the earliest! However, a moored civilian ship in the port of Shari signaled that we were on our way. β
The liaison next to him turned pale, and his forehead accidentally hit the corner of the table and tore it under the violent impact just now, and now he was still bleeding red.
Hearing this, Tokugawa Kurita couldn't help but shake his head, "Civilian ship?" It should be the three members of the group who stayed in the port, and told them to be careful not to approach and die. β
Miyano Juro, who was carefully maintaining the huge illusion on the side, said in a deep voice, "Team leader, is this group of people strong?" β
"I don't know."
Tokugawa Kurita shook his head and said with a calm face, "But until now, the other party is still testing and has not launched a real attack. β
As soon as his words fell, a white python crawled through the cumulonimbus clouds of the black mountains overhead, and as soon as the thunder fell, the tips of the hair on his head and his face felt the coolness of the rain.
The first rain of the New Year in Beihai fell like this.
At the same time, among the warships surrounded by all sides, a large warship with a black horn on the bow was the commander of the Northern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army. Joe also felt the chill on his face.
He looked up at the rain falling from the sky, and when he looked down, he had already made a decision.
"All ships approach, throw their hooks and prepare to storm!"
"Yes!"
The Dawn Revolutionary Army is not a crappy pirate after all, and its execution is quite terrifying.
It only took a blink of an eye to throw the hook that flew into the blurred illusion after the order was passed down from Sylle to the black warship below.
A moment later, more and more hooks hit the ship floating on the surface of the illusionary sea, stretching it in the middle from all sides.
On the warship in the fantasy world, Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger looked at the hook on the bow of the ship and the seafarers who were hurrying to cut the hook around him, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly:
"These guys... I'm in a hurry... It seems that they knew that reinforcements were coming. β
Juro Miyano, who was constantly weaving to maintain the illusion, heard Tokugawa Kurita's words, and also took the time to say, "There may be a traitor among us." β
Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger's eyes narrowed even deeper when he heard this, the other party obviously knew the route of their New Year's patrol in advance, so he was able to ambush this sea area unknowingly, and the enemy's predictions and performances after the encounter proved beyond any doubt that there must be a traitor among them.
At this moment, the light on the sea in front of me distorted.
I saw a man dressed in black appear on the hook and fly over, and the crew on the deck saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to cut the hook!
In the next moment, a bright knife flash flashed, but he didn't expect that it was the head of the crew member who was cut off first, and the hot blood rose to the sky in the cold rain.
The man in black jumped onto the deck, laughed evilly, and was about to move like a flock.
At this moment, his body suddenly froze, as if someone had choked him.
I saw a figure covered in golden light, but he walked towards him, and every step he took seemed to rise a few points out of thin air, and gradually there was a momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top.
When he walked not far in front of the man in black, the Tokugawa chestnut tiger slowly raised his right hand glowing with golden light, and the wind and rain falling on the ship suddenly gave way to it!
The black-clothed man's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
In the next moment, I saw Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger swing out of the air with a punch.
The heavy rain was instantly separated by an invisible force from the middle of a golden passage, and the man in black was suddenly hit by a terrifying force, and instantly flew out with a terrible blood line.
Talent Sequence 25 [King Kong]!
The Tokugawa chestnut tiger, covered in golden light, like the appearance of the Great Buddha, had an indifferent face, and turned to look at another black-clothed man who flew up along the hook.
In the next moment, his golden and unstoppable fist was wrapped in sharp wind and water pressure, and he opened his bow left and right at the black-clothed people flying from all directions outside the illusion, and the terrifying fist power instantly shattered the rain curtain, bombarding those people like a cannonball in all directions.
When Captain Dragonfly, who once intercepted and assassinated Councilor Hope at the Death Ground on Rising Sun Island, Tokugawa Chesturi, the leader of the third investigation team, seemed to be "weak and vulnerable".
At this moment,
It showed an extremely terrifying and powerful suppressive force!
He's the only one!
A pair of fists!
and defended the warship of Notda.
After a brief pause in the minds of the people who were attacked on the ship, they burst into cheers.
And the black-clothed men who flew in along the hook seemed to have temporarily stopped their attack.... It's just that at some point, the hook in the direction of the bow of the ship suddenly shook.
I saw a man of medium height, with a rough face, a thick black beard on his chin, wearing a dark green coat, walking along the hook step by step with his bare hands.
"You're the last?"
Tokugawa Kurita looked up at the man.
Zakun, the deputy commander of the Northern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army, grinned and shook his head, "No, I'm the strongest of these people in front. β
Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger lowered his eyebrows slightly, his right fist flashed with golden light, and it shattered the layers of rain curtains with a mediocre punch, and the terrifying fist power attacked the deputy commander Zhakun like a storm.
Charge up with a punch!
Unexpectedly, in the face of the terrifying fist power that hit the vacuum zone in this wind and rain, Zakun did not dodge or dodge.
In the next moment, a heavy and majestic force exploded in front of him.
Zakun grinned, and a pale golden halo appeared on the surface of his body around him, the moment the terrifying fist of the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger hit it!
Bellβ!
The sound of the bell erupted and swept away!
At this moment, the raindrops that fell around Zakun's body were shattered by the terrifying sound wave, and some of the low-ranking crew members of the warship squatted down in pain and covered their ears, and the deafening sound almost tore people's eardrums.
Zakun shook his head with a smile, his gaze firmly fixed on the Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger, "Tsk, you are not the only one who has the seventh-order absolute ability of [King Kong]..."
