Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Laughing Ones
Tiger is getting less and less understanding of "humans".
But to be more precise, I don't really understand the person "Evan Lindsay".
He can even quarrel with a small child!
Pretty naΓ―ve.
But the words he scolded made Tiger fall into deep thought.
I really don't understand......
β¦β¦
The two walked a short distance before Lindsay broke free of Tiger's grasp.
"Wait a minute."
Lindsay moved her ankle and stomped the ground.
Boom!
An inexplicable wave spread to all sides.
Tiger only felt the ground begin to shake under his feet, but it was far less violent than the earthquake, and even slightly subtle.
Is this also Evan Lindsay's Devil Fruit ability?
"It's a lot harder than tearing the ground."
Lindsay muttered, and the "Kun Hexagram" pattern in her pupils began to rotate slowly, activating the ability in a "peaceful" way as much as possible.
"Destroy the ground from different angles, reconstruct it, and change the ...... of the terrain"
With Lindsay's voice, the ground around him heaved, and several "stalagmites" slowly rose.
These "stalagmites" made of mud gradually spread throughout the surrounding residential areas.
Many of the collapsed floor slabs were propped up, including the teenager who had scolded Lindsay before, and his family's dilapidated house was also supported by two hard stalagmites.
As a result, while waiting for the house to be repaired, people here will at least not sleep in the open.
Lindsay, on the other hand, was thoughtful about the effect of this move, and casually asked Tiger on the side.
"You say, if I speed up the spread of my ability and adjust the sharpness of the stalagmite tip, can I step on a lot of ground thorns with one foot?"
ββ¦β¦β
What kind of mess is this?
Tiger was quite impressed.
Evan Lindsay's thinking is extremely jumpy, often the previous sentence is that end, and the next sentence jumps to this side.
But as far as the facts are concerned, he doesn't really hate what this human does.
In short, Evan Lindsay is not a bad person......
β¦β¦
Lindsay and Tiger crossed Island 32 and finally found a direct route to the port of the dock.
The artillery fire continues.
Lollwim Saint the Draco is more moody than his eldest brother, and is especially fond of thermal weapons.
The CP guards under his command are all equipped with powerful hand-held artillery, and they use them with no regard for civilians.
For a time, the entire Chambord Islands were under fire and the deafening sound of artillery was everywhere.
Although the Fish-Man Clan's physique is far superior to that of ordinary humans, it is still flesh and blood after all, and its defense is far inferior to Lindsay in the form of Dikui.
Phew-
Rumble! Rumble!
After resisting the bombardment of two stray bullets, Lindsay and Tiger sped up a few more steps.
Along the way, Lindsay's words were obviously a lot less, as if he remembered something, and Tiger didn't bother him.
What did Lindsay remember?
A long, long time ago, when he was still unconscious, he vaguely remembered where he was transported in the state of the stone statue.
It seems to be ...... O'hara?
That's right, it's the archaeological mecca that has long since disappeared!
β¦β¦
On that island, Lindsay was shelled dozens of times more violently than at the moment, and it was called "Demon Slaying Order"!
O'Hara was completely wiped out of the sea due to the Demon Slaying Order launched by the World Government.
Lindsay, along with a large number of ancient texts, was submerged in the sea by O'Hara's scholars to preserve it from shelling and fire.
Of course, Lindsay in the state of the stone statue, its hardness is the same as that of the historical text, and it is naturally not afraid of fire, and the archaeologists of O'Hara actually want to preserve those paper documents.
β¦β¦
Looking back.
"It's a vague memory that's not so good."
Lindsay rubbed his temples, waved his hand to catch another cannonball flying towards him, and threw it back at the CP guard not far away.
Rumble!
The bomb exploded, and Lindsay and Tiger burst out of the smoke and continued on.
But just as the two of them were getting closer and closer to the port, a team of navies suddenly ran in front of them.
"Tsk......"
Tiger's brow furrowed, his fists clenched, and he was about to go up to meet the enemy.
But what he never expected was that when the two sides met, the navy did not make a move, but staggered with Tiger and Lindsay, and ran directly in the other direction!
Tiger: "? β
He was puzzled, and then found out that Lindsay had also run towards the navy!
Tiger: "?? β
But fortunately, no fighting broke out between the two sides, and Tiger was able to stop and observe.
The navy ran straight to a collapsed tavern and began digging up the ruins.
β¦β¦
"Quick, there are several people under the bar, come and help!"
It turned out that someone was trapped in the ruins of the tavern.
At this moment, the navy was ordered to give priority to the rescue of civilians, followed by the pursuit of fugitives.
Therefore, even if they face each other with the "cause" of this unrest, the navy still chooses a higher priority task.
In a short time, most of the ruins were torn away, and only two large and heavy floors remained, crushing the gaps in the bar.
"Damn, it's too heavy to move."
"Hurry up and exert yourself, the next round of shelling is coming!"
ββ¦β¦β
The navy soldiers worked together, but the two-story floor slab was still too heavy to shake.
"Call for support, quick!"
Just when the leading navy was about to call for support, two black shadows suddenly came to both sides of the floor, one left and one right.
They were also burly, and at the same time, they stretched out their big hands, grabbed each side of the floor slab, and then lifted it hard.
Whoa......
The large two-storey thickened steel floor slab was lifted with ease, no different from a chocolate bar stuck in an ice cream.
"Thank you...... Guys? β
The leading navy looked left and right, and saw two people they couldn't have imagined.
The one on the left is a burly old man with gray hair, with scars and laughter on his face, and a navy cloak of justice on his back;
The one on the right, with reddish-brown skin, scarlet eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, does not look like a humanoid, but looks like a legendary "demon";
Coincidentally, isn't it?
These two are recognized by the leaders of the Navy.
The former is the [Navy Hero] Karp, and the latter is the central point of the whole riot, Evan Lindsay!
Logically speaking, these two should be enemies in the absolute sense, but now they are joining hands to save people at the same time.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦β
The leader of the naval squad fell silent.
He had a premonition that something was extremely bad.
But luckily, both Karp and Lindsey were unhurried.
Karp, on his side, beckoned to the civilians under the bar: "Ahahahaha, you guys evacuate quickly, the naval stronghold is still very safe." β
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay, on the other hand, waved his hand at the naval soldiers around him and reminded, "You guys retreat a little." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Retreat a little further, it's still too close, yes...... A little further away. β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
In a short time, within a distance of about 100 meters, only Karp and Lindsey were left, supporting the "light" weighted floor slab at the same time.
The two looked at each other, gasping silently.
An indescribable feeling permeated the two of them, as if even the air was distorted, and they couldn't see the real space clearly!
Karp grinned and smiled;
Lindsey bared her fangs and smiled;
"Hey!"
I don't know who laughed first, and it became the official signal for the two to go to war!
Ode!
Two fists, one left and one right, swung out at the same time, and the sound of breaking the air almost condensed into the same strand, and then-
Slammed into each other's faces.
Rumble!
It's much louder than the shelling!
Boom Boom!
