Chapter 42: Straight to the point
The development of fruit ability depends on the imagination of the person who can do it.
This imagination has been mixed into the world, creating a wonderful sea.
Like a drowning man in the desert.
Or maybe a sea of flames!
β¦β¦
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......
One roar after another resounded across the sea.
The flames burned brightly, and the surrounding blue gradually turned red.
"W-what the hell is going on!"
The King's troops on patrol ships jumped into the sea to survive, and then desperately swam to the main fleet, where they were finally rescued.
Although many people were wounded, the king's army in Alabastan reacted quickly and did not die.
But......
Soon, the captain of the king's army on board the ship noticed what was going on.
"That's not right!"
The captain's face turned to the side, and he looked around, and sure enough, he didn't know it.
The huge sea of fire spread into a circle, which happened to encircle everyone's fleet in place, and it was impossible to get out of it at all!
"His purpose is not to kill us, but to trap us here!"
"Who is he?" γ
The captain looked at one of the survivors.
I saw that his face was full of horror, and he trembled and said:
"In the sky, the dragon in the sky swept across the sea, and everywhere there was fire!"
β¦β¦
Uninhabited islands, in tents for peace talks.
The people in the tent were also aware of the attack in the surrounding sea.
Kobra's brow furrowed, and he looked up at Wapol in front of him, and the other party immediately opened his mouth and laughed.
"Wha!"
Wapol raised his hands and said excitedly: "How's it going?" This is the king's latest 'power', so be afraid! β
ββ¦β¦β
This provocation was too shoddy to make Kobra lose his mind.
But outside the tent, the sea of fire surrounding the uninhabited island made Kobra extremely vigilant.
"Bastard ......"
Kobra's eyes were downcast, revealing a rare look of anger, and he looked directly at Wapol, "What the hell have you done!" β
"Don't worry, it's just a small display of firepower, and I don't plan to kill people."
Wapol smiled excitedly: "How's that?" Now that I've proven my strength, let's talk about tolls! β
"Your father is an old friend of mine, how can he have a son like you!"
Kobra's brow furrowed.
Just as he was thinking about the notification of what to do, a messenger from the Magnetic Drum Kingdom suddenly ran outside the tent.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wapol, it's not good!"
The messenger was horrified: "Our ship has also been destroyed, and many people have been killed and wounded!" β
"What???"
Wapol's eyes widened suddenly, not understanding what was really happening.
That's not what the "consultant" was talking to him about!
According to the "advisor", that is, Virgo, it only needs to show a little bit of the firepower of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom today, and Cobra will inevitably consider paying obediently.
The current situation is completely different from what the "consultant" said at the beginning!
Wapol immediately shouted:
"What about consultants? Where is he! and tell him to come out unto the king!! β
Click......
Outside the tent, a footstep landed softly, and then the curtain behind Wapol was lifted and he walked in.
A white checkered coat, sunglasses, lightning sideburns, and a mask on the lower half of his face.
It is the [Ghost Bamboo] Virgo who hides his identity!
Seeing that his "adviser" was coming, Wapol immediately went up and blamed:
"Hey! The current situation is different from what you said, why are the people on this king's side also being attacked! You-"
Boom!
Before Wapol could finish speaking, Virgo slammed a bamboo stick into Wapol's abdomen, knocking him straight out.
Blood spurted out and spat all over the ground.
When Jace and Cro-Marimon saw this, they were so frightened that they hid and shivered.
Pushing his sunglasses, Virgo said coldly: "I said when we first met, you want to call me 'sir'." β
It's in Virgo's nature.
It's just that in order to complete the task of the "young master" Doflamingo, he has been pressing until now.
As for why, Virgo chose to expose his true nature now, and the reason is actually quite simple.
"As an 'advisor' to your country, let me answer your question one last time."
Virgo frowned, and muttered in a deep voice:
"To be honest, even I don't know what it was that attacked your ship......"
Not only him, but even Doflamingo couldn't figure it out.
But how could Doflamingo be frightened by such a trivial matter?
Since you can't figure out the opponent, then give up all the original plans and use the fastest and most convenient way to achieve your goal!
"Time is of the essence, let's get straight to the point, King of Alabastan, Kobra."
Holding a bamboo stick, Virgo stepped forward slowly, "You only need to answer my question, and no one will be hurt." β
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Bell and Gaka realized the horror of the man in front of them, but they also immediately stood up and turned into animals.
The figures of the three of them staggered.
Bang! Bang!
In just an instant, Bell and Gaka were beaten by bamboo sticks and flew away!
On the other hand, Virgo's clothes were only slightly scratched on both sides, and even the skin was not torn.
"Is it an animal-based person? The level of development is too low......"
Virgo shook his head, then stared at Kobra and said, "Does your country really harbor 'secrets'?" What exactly is there? β
ββ¦β¦β
Kobra didn't answer, and couldn't possibly answer.
In order to protect Alabastan, even if he dies, it is impossible for him to tell the truth of the historical text!
That is the fate of Alabastan, and even more so the fate of the name of Nephilutari!
"Tsk!"
Virgo also knows very well that Cobra and Wapol are not "kings" of the same level at all, so they can only find another way.
"Your ...... for Yourself"
When he came to Kobra, he raised the bamboo stick he was holding in his hand and was about to hit Kobra.
At this point, surrounded by unknown enemies, Virgo can only rob Kobra first, and then slowly search for the secrets of Alabastan.
β¦β¦
In fact, Doflamingo's side didn't have much information.
They only knew that Alabastan was most likely related to the 100-year disappearance, but they didn't know exactly what the relationship was.
Historical text? Or is it something secretive?
But in any case, it is the existence that can threaten the world government!
As long as he gets this "secret", Doflamingo will be able to use this as an opportunity to blackmail the world government in exchange for the seat of the Seven Martial Seas!
β¦β¦
"I always believe that the young master can become the 'king' of this sea."
Virgo's eyes behind his sunglasses were extremely cold, staring at Kobra.
"It's just a 'king', don't try to get in the way!"
Swish!
If the bamboo stick falls, it will hit Kobra.
And at this moment-
Rumble!
A huge black shadow fell from the sky, tearing through the huge tent and smashing directly in front of Kobra, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust.
Virgo jumped backwards, dodging the fatal blow and looking up.
A deafening roar followed.
"Roarββ!!!
It's as if some unknown monster is grinning and dragging everyone into the abyss of terror!
As the smoke clears, Virgo finally sees who he expected.
His throat moved, and he muttered:
"Is the [Demon] coming......
"Hah!"
Evan Lindsay waved his hand to tear away the smoke and dust, and strode in front of Virgo.
"Let's also get straight to the point, less nonsense - say!"
With open arms, he laughed excitedly:
"Come on, let's fight!"
