Chapter 249: The Ritual of Defeat

Pierrot continued to pray, and did not stop at the beginning of the babbling coming, until he became conscious under the pain and influence of the whispering.

Under the influence of the "listener" Laicart's ability to "lead spiritually", Pierrot hears a voice that is extremely penetrating, purposeful and active, evil to the extreme, filthy to the extreme, chaotic to the extreme, but it really seems to contain endless knowledge-

There is no doubt that this is the voice of the "true Creator".

It is like a whisper in the near distance, like the sound of heaven in infinity, and like a spontaneous voice of the heart...... Every "listener", including those who have risen to a higher order, can hear as long as they concentrate and actively "listen".

The whispering was so intimate that Pierrot deliberately resisted, but he still unconsciously listened and analyzed.

In this way, his spirit gradually sank into it, and even if the physical burden and pain were a little stronger, he could hardly feel it.

……

Above the gray fog.

Crane communicated with the Crimson Star, and after hearing the content of Mr. "Tower's" prayer clearly, his relaxed expression, which was originally a little teasing, immediately collapsed, and became extremely solemn-

"Boom, boom, boom——!"

As soon as the pirate ship stepped into the firing range, the shore defense heavy artillery of the Navy Headquarters opened fire first, and the heavy shells tore through the air and rained down in the direction of the pirate fleet with a sharp whistle.

The cannonball landed on the surface of the sea and caused a violent explosion, setting off waves that caused some obstacles to the pirate ships on Whitebeard's side.

The pirates of the New World use their skills to shoot down or cut off the cannonballs that are about to hit them.

Not to be outdone, the pirates under Whitebeard's command immediately returned fire, and the guns placed in the bow of the ship fired in the direction of the harbor one by one.

All of a sudden, artillery fire was in the sky outside the Crescent Harbor, and shells were flying.

The sound of artillery fire drowned out the sound beneath the surface of the sea.

"Goo-"

There was an inaudible sound of bubbles at the bottom of the sea.

"Huh?"

But the three admirals directly below the execution table caught the movement at the same time.

Including the Warring States on the execution table, as well as several lieutenant generals who were proficient in seeing and hearing domineering, they also noticed the movement coming from the bottom of the sea.

"No......

Sengoku looked down at the inside of the harbor, and the anticipation of the moment made his forehead and cheeks ooze cold sweat.

The details that had vaguely felt missed before became clear at this moment.

Karp and Lieutenant General Tsuru looked at the sea, and Karp smacked his lips, "It's really out of an unexpected place......

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a solemn face, "We have set up the wrong formation."

A few seconds later, a large number of bubbles from the bottom of the sea rose to the surface, causing many sailors in the square to notice this unnatural situation.

"This voice is ......"

Some of the navy looked at the surface of the harbor with hindsight, and a large shadow rose from the surface.

"Isn't it...... Is it from underwater!?"

"Whoa!"

The sea suddenly swelled, and a huge object rushed out of the sea and set off a huge wave, followed by three more objects rushing out.

The sea soldiers looked through the hazy mist, and four large ships with the heads of whales coated were docked steadily on the sea in the harbor in a cross formation.

And the big ship facing the execution table in the square is the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick!

In an unexpected way, the Whitebeard Pirates, who invaded the interior of the harbor, appeared in front of the eyes of more than 60,000 navies.

"Smack"

As the ship washed out of the sea, the membrane wrapped around the hull immediately broke.

"Oooh——!"

Outside the harbor, the navy and pirates, who were firing at each other, tacitly stopped.

The figure walked up to the bow of the ship step by step, and in the face of the naval headquarters that was waiting for it, he laughed without fear:

"Gollum la la ......"

Whitebeard held a knife in one hand and looked at Sengoku from afar: "We haven't seen each other for decades, Sengoku."

Sengoku's face was solemn: "Whitebeard ......!"

"Is my dear son alright?"

As soon as Whitebeard appeared, his powerful aura made countless navies sweat profusely.

Sengoku was furious, "He ...... invaded so close!"

Spread a wide net, but didn't want the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates to appear in an unexpected place. The Wise Shogun Sengoku watched as the Whitebeard Pirates crossed the defensive line laid out outside the harbor and arrived directly at the inner harbor, which was only one square away from the execution platform.

「…… Daddy!" Ace shouted with a struggle when he saw Whitebeard, but was stopped by two guards on the left and right with bayonets.

"Wait a minute, Ace." Whitebeard glanced at Ace, and with his backhand, he cut the cloud in his hand into the bow of the ship, clenched his hands into fists, leaned forward, and hammered the void on the left and right sides with both fists at the same time.

"Click"

As Whitebeard's fists swung open, the space where the fists struck began to shatter, and under the power of the Shock Fruit, cracks appeared in the air like shattered mirrors.

"What's that?"

The lost lamb survived the most difficult initial stage, and most of the worries in his heart were relieved, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

If it weren't for the fact that the ceremony wasn't over yet, he really wanted to have a sip of champagne.

Uhh

The "listener" came to Carter as he was contemplating the success of the ceremony and the bright prospect of his promotion, when suddenly he let out a miserable howl without warning and fell to the ground.

On the altar, the three candles that had been burning quietly suddenly burst into light again, and then directly extinguished themselves!

The "hunter" Yin Zat on the side was almost stunned.

His knowledge of the occult is rather shallow, and the sequence itself is not "mysterious" enough, and it can be seen that there is only the most superficial information about the failure of the ritual, as for why it failed, how to remedy it, and other questions......

He didn't know anything.

What frightened Yin Zatt even more was that his enlightener, the "listener", lay on the ground and groaned in pain, writhing like a maggot, while the flesh on his body rolled and looked like he was about to lose control......

Yin Zat once had the idea of escaping, but in the end, he reluctantly settled down by relying on his confidence in his "hunter" skills, and stayed at the scene to watch.

Because the situation in Carter was so intense, Yin Zat didn't notice that the "good brother" Pierrot, who was tied to a chair not far away, had lost all his voice, and only an empty shell remained.

Laicarter's moaning continued for more than a quarter of an hour before it subsided a little.

He survived and didn't lose control.

Except that his body had become a little deformed and his voice was much weaker and hoarse, Yin Zat did not feel any other problems.

As he lifted the other man up, he heard clearly the phrase that his enlightener had been whispering since he woke up:

"The Fool...... The Lord is wrath......"

Yin Zat didn't understand very well, and he didn't intend to understand.

"Brother, wake up, wake up, what are we going to do next?"

He supported his initiator, and after many words of effort, he finally completely woke the other party from that state of autism and indulgence.

"The ritual failed." These were the first words of the "listener" when Carter came to his senses.

"I know that," Yin Zat was a little anxious, "the key is what to do next?"

The ritual failed unexpectedly, and he had no idea at all, so he could only turn to his initiator for help...... You know, he's still carrying a friendly "notarized" deed.

"Help me to see the lost lamb."

"Okay."

"Hunter" Yinzate answered very dryly, and helped "Listener" to Carter and walked a few steps to Pierrot's side.

Pierrot, of course, remained motionless, in a state of lost soul.

After observing for a moment, the "listener" Carter reached out and tapped the tip of his nose twice, turned off the "vision", and conclusively said:

"His spirit vanished, presumably suffering a devastating blow when the ritual failed."

He thought about it for a moment and came up with the idea of dealing with the scene:

"Let's just tweak the setup a little bit and make it look like he's dying after his own failed ritual.

"The ritual involves the great Lord, and those of the Sun cultists dare not divination."

Then, under the guidance of "Listener" Laicart, "Hunter" Yinzat began to change the ceremonial setting of the scene.
