Chapter 496: A Navy Attacking the Civilians?! Sauron who wants to take Frankie's life?!

"We will never give in to pirates!"

A girl named Maya glared at Frankie and Nami.

"Nami, how do you explain this situation......

The little Chopper whispers to Nami, who is observing the floating on the boulder, who has more knowledge than in the original story, and understands that the villagers think that they are here to attack the village.

But it's still the same, not good at communication......

"Deer!"

"The deer has spoken!"

Two children, hiding behind a huge tree, shouted in amazement.

"I'm not a deer! It's a reindeer!"

Just like the blue fat man in another world, who cares a lot about being a cat and not a tanuki, Chopper cares a lot about being a reindeer and not a deer. So after hearing the children's words, they suddenly became angry and yelled very angrily.

But the children did not understand his insistence, but were even more surprised, and fled quickly to the other side of the tree.

"Reindeer...... Speak......

Looking at the small reindeer in front of him, Lax and the other villagers also showed shocked expressions.

"Ahh

As long as others pay attention to themselves, Chopper will be very shy. It simply became deliberately serious, and the sheep's costume showed an unhappy look.

"Well, isn't that the matter settled now?"

Frankie walked over to Lacs.

The latter had already calmed down, although these guys were pirates, but they were just two people plus a reindeer, and none of them had weapons in their hands, and one of them was a girl who didn't look like a fight.

"What do you say it's settled?"

Lax was still glaring at Frankie without sloppiness, but even then, he was going to hear what Frankie was trying to say.

"We're not here to cause trouble for your village, we're just here to ......."

"It seems that what is engraved on this altar is the history of this village. And it has something to do with that altar by the lake."

Nami, who had been looking at the boulder, said suddenly.

Although it has been damaged, you can still see some images on the boulder that seem to record the past. Moreover, the front of this altar is carved with the statue of the shrine maiden, which seems to be exactly the same as the one carved on the edge of the lake.

"Huh? Can you read it? This is ......."

The old woman came out on crutches.

"I've studied with the world's best archaeologist for a while! Old woman~"

Nami playfully said that among the young people who grew up in the Navy Headquarters, Nami had the best relationship with Robin, and when she was younger, Robin was often arranged by Polusalino to accompany her and Nokigao. And it was during that time that she learned a lot about archaeology from Robin.

"Mother-in-law......

"Maya, it doesn't look like these people are here to attack this village...... The pirates, the marauders, don't show any interest in the worthless history or relics of the village."

The old woman said.

"So, what are you here for?"

Maya and Nami looked at each other.

"We've been saying all the time, we're looking for a partner......

While Nami was talking, a man ran in from another direction.

"Lacs! It's incredible!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's the Navy! Those guys from the Navy Dojo are calling!"

Hearing the man's announcement, Lax bit his lip tightly: "Mother-in-law! Miss Maya! Hurry up and hide! Hurry up!"

Lacks led the men towards the entrance to the village.

……

The swordsmen of the naval dojo drew their weapons and killed

Got to the inside of the village.

The men of the village were all determined to fight to the death, but compared to the sailors, who were trained professionally every day, these militiamen, who usually carried hoes, were no match for their organizational skills or combat ability. Although the villagers had a slight advantage in numbers and their will to fight was also higher, the defenses everywhere were quickly broken through.

"Kick everyone with the knife out of the way! Let them see how good we are!"

Commanding the sailors was the first disciple of the naval master Saka, the tall and armored "Iron Knight" Besmer.

Then, like a tornado that could not be stopped, Bukangi, the big man in second place, swept down all the villagers who stood in his way. The fat body was unimaginably fast, and the weapons of the villagers who were touched by his two maces were all easily broken like branches.

"We can't let them go any further!"

Lacs, who led the militia, desperately cheered up the villagers.

"Oh...... Oh!"

Bethmer finally led the navy to the front of the villagers' defensive line with the determination to die.

"You criminals who dare to oppose the Navy! Die!" Besmarck drew the sword from his waist, "Oooo

"Drink!"

Besmarck used his left hand to block the heavy blow of Lacs's mountain knife, while the shield on Lacs's left hand blocked the Iron Knight's heavy slash. The two big guys leaned together, completely competing for strength, but for a short time, they were completely deadlocked.

In this way, the navy and the militia protecting the village got into a big fight.

"What did you just say about the offender? Why would the Navy say that everyone in this village is a bad guy? Nami?"

Chopper, who had been watching the battle in the square, suddenly asked Nami.

Nami hasn't had time to explain—

"No! We're not ...... Huh?"

When the girl Maya opened her mouth to speak, suddenly a huge black shadow fell towards her. With the force of the earthquake, the altar was smashed in an instant.

"Hehehehe......"

「……」

Looking at the cloud of smoke and dust, Nami frowned.

It was Bukangi, with a mace in both hands, and the stone-built altar, and the floating of the witch on it, all smashed to the point that there was not even a neat part left.

"Ah...... Ahh......h

"Altar of the Ancestors......"

The young girl Maya and the old woman looked at the scene in front of them and were completely overwhelmed.

"Hehehe, altar or something...... Well? What are you carrying in your arms?"

Bukangi's woman-like eyes kept staring at the package Maya was holding on her chest, and then—

"Zoro! Come here!"

「?!」

Hearing Bukangi's words, Nami's eyes widened - from the direction of the entrance to the village, among the fierce battles, the swordsman with the unforgettable three swords, walked leisurely towards this side.

And, in the middle of this chaotic battle, he had a very strong insistence on the nature of the battle, and without blinking, he smashed the two villagers to the ground in an instant with the hilt of his knife.

Then, as if no one was there, he walked towards Bukangi, who was standing on the remains of the altar.

"Sauron...... What are you—what are you doing?"

Nami looked at Zoro in front of her, completely unaware of what was wrong with him, and Chopper stared at him with round eyes full of unease.

"Hehehe......"

"Is that the Orb?"

Zoro and Bukangi spoke briefly, as if to confirm something, and then stared closely at the baggage Maya was carrying.

"Orbs? What orbs? Is it the legendary ......?"

Nami and the others followed Sauron's gaze

Maya looked over - the legend of the island was remembered by them.

"Maya!"

"I know, mother-in-law!"

The old woman and the maiden Maya turned around and ran deeper into the forest.

Seeing this, Sauron immediately chased after him without saying a word.

"Bastard! Let's talk about it later!"

The three villagers blocked Sauron in order to make Maya and the old woman escape a little further.

However, he didn't care at all, rushed to the middle of the three people at once, pulled out three knives, and slashed the three guys who were blocking the way in front of him with the back of the knives to the ground. Then, without looking too much, he continued to chase Maya and the old woman.

"Frankie, let's go too!"

"Zoro, that guy, ......?"

Frankie couldn't believe what was in front of him, and the words came to his lips but didn't come out. Following Nami and Chopper, she stepped over the three villagers who had fallen to the ground, and followed suit.

……

On top of the boulders, machined like bricks, there was a thick layer of decaying leaves from the forest, and the trees that had taken root on it formed a forest again—and Maya and the old woman were forced to the edge of the vertical cracks.

"Ah......h

Maya, who refused to leave the old woman behind, would not be able to escape Sauron's pursuit no matter what.

Moreover, in the face of the powerful momentum of Zoro, who did not say a word and only held three knives in a strange posture, Maya finally couldn't control the fear in her heart and knelt on the ground. Although she still clung to the orb in her arms, she knew that it was meaningless.

But—

"Stop! Zoro!"

Nami and the others chased after her—Nami, who stood between Zoro and the girl, glared at the swordsman who was her companion with angry and confused eyes.

"What the hell are you doing! Wake up!"

"I'm sober."

Zoro's answer was completely beyond Nami and the others' expectations.

Awake? Why did sober words suddenly disappear and then suddenly appear with the Navy? And then knock down the villagers one by one? In the end, you have to snatch the package from the hands of the old woman and the little girl?!

"Nami, you and Maya and the old woman lean back first! There's something wrong with this guy!"

Frankie's steel left fist, which was clenched, struck Sauron in the face without hesitation - Polusalino had taught the young people in the headquarters that if they felt that their companions had gone astray, then don't hesitate to greet them directly!

Zoro tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the blow - but it was only a temptation, and Frankie's real right leg kick had already followed!

As a super-high-level modified human, Frankie's body can be said to be quite flexible in all parts, and he can easily achieve subtle combos and strange postures that ordinary human bodies can't do. But it's a pity that this is like the combination of Luffy and Sanji, and the strong kick in a straight line with the power of a bullet after a heavy punch seems to have been easily dodged by Zoro as expected.

[In view of the general environment,

The spinning drill in his right hand, the burst of lasers in his chest, and the burst of high-voltage electricity all over his body—Sauron dodged all of Frankie's various successive attacks perfectly, and then jumped upward.

Frankie's sight and hearing were domineering, and he immediately gave him a crazy warning! Without hesitation, he jumped backwards, dodging the trail of death woven by Sauron's two crossed knives striking from his head.

Extremely strong killing intent - Zoro's move is really to take the life of Frankie, who is his companion!
