It's time – Carnival of Masks!

This is a traditional festival in the capital of seven waters, and even though the city is depressed, the tradition is still hard to forget.

Those seemingly meaningless holiday traditions are precisely the "hope" of many people when they are in trouble.

Those traditions and excitement cannot be forgotten, let alone abandoned.

So, even if it's hard, the people of the City of Seven Waters still celebrate and welcome visitors to join in.

This was the case with Lindsay's group of four.

He wore a mask, a robe, and a cloak to cover his face and body.

Obviously, the same is true of the "bunch of guys" not far away, who naturally blend into the city.

……

Abandoned shipyard.

Lindsay and Klockdahl hid in the distance, lying on top of a pile of planks, their eyes falling on the edge of the plank.

In the open space of the abandoned dockyard, a large group of people were resting.

There are about a few dozen.

Each wears a mask and a robe, making it impossible to see who they are or where they come from.

Their movements are orderly and do not feel the slightest sense of chaos.

And one of them caught the attention of Lindsey and Crocodall.

Compared to others, he is exceptionally "tall and burly".

But this description does not only refer to the appearance, but also to the aura exuded by that person!

That extremely strong sense of presence made Lindsay and Klockdahl unable to take their eyes off for a while.

Klockdahl frowned slightly, "Who is he?" ”

Lindsey shook her head.

Ancient sights and smells can perceive traces, but they can't detect the identity of the other party under the premise that they are already unknown.

Klockdahl's gaze moved, "Anyway, it's strong, right?" ”

Lindsay nodded.

After the two of them finished their observations, they began to think about their next move.

Crocodall analyzed:

"The current situation is that the ancient people have been tracked all the way here, and finally found this group of people."

“……”

Crookdalmo rubbed his chin and looked at Lindsay on the side.

"That Tom and Cocoro, are they over here?"

Lindsay shook her head and explained, "The trail has gone farther away, and Tom and Cocolò are gone. ”

“……”

Hearing this, Klockdahl muttered, "Something is not right......

If this group of people is the slave traders who attacked Tom's studio, then the matter is simple and neatly resolved.

But Tom and Cocoro are not here, so there are two possibilities.

Or, the slave traders are divided;

Either that, or the group is "the other gang".

In fact, under the influence of that rumor, many people are now attracted to the capital of seven waters, the purpose is to "train engine".

So no matter which possibility it is, there is a high probability that the group of people in the open space is not a "passerby" who has nothing to do with this incident.

“……”

"Tsk!"

Thinking of this, Klokdal simply stabilized the mask on his face, and said to Lin Circuit on the side:

"I'm going to scare them, get them out of the way, and you continue to perceive the traces and clues."

“……”

With that, Klockdahl directly turned into a sandstorm, and advanced close to the ground, all the way to where the group was.

Strike first!

Seeing this scene, Lindsay did not stop him, but lay on his back on the plank, quietly looking at the clouds in the sky.

"It's a beautiful ......"

Faintly, Lindsay's ears heard the sound of the waves again.

The unreal and the real mingle, and the traces of Aquaragana reappeared, strangling Lindsay's neck!

“？！”

Although I knew it was an illusion, the feeling of suffocation was really uncomfortable.

Fighting her spirits, Lindsay tried to fight against this force, but in the end she only tore off the marks on her neck and saw more marks around her.

"Tsunami...... Is it? ”

"You're rejecting me?"

Lindsay didn't understand the feeling, so she slowly reached out, intending to feel it further.

But in the next second-

Ode!

A black shadow slammed into Lindsay's side from far and near, and directly sank into the pile of wreckage next to it.

That's about a person.

“？”

Lindsay was shocked.

Not only did Klockdahl not scare the gang away, but even the two sides even got into a fight?

He actually sent people flying!

It's not like a little crocodile's style of doing things......

Lindsey sat up and looked at the big pit that had been smashed by the figure.

Lindsay is actually very curious about the true identity of that group of people, and now is the right time to find out.

But when the smoke and dust around him dissipated, the scene that appeared in front of him made Lindsay's pupils shrink suddenly.

It's none other than the [Sand Crocodile] Klockdal himself!

“？！”

Lindsay couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and grinned, "Why were you sent flying?" ”

"Shut up!"

Crocodall crawled to his feet in disgrace.

Clutching his abdomen, he grinned in pain.

"He's a master......"

When Lindsay on the side heard this, he immediately proposed: "Or I'll come-

"Less nonsense!"

Klockdahl interrupted Lindsay's words, twisted his shoulders, and said gloomily:

"Shut up, I'll fix it!"

Wow!

Crocodall burst out of the pit, past Lindsay, and toward the clearing again.

Seeing this, Lindsay shrugged his shoulders helplessly, intending to turn around and observe the specific battle situation.

But before he could turn his head, it was the next second-

Ode!

The figure flew out upside down again, and slammed into the pit again.

The crater in the wreckage pile grew larger and deeper, and the figures who fell into it became more embarrassed.

"Phew!"

Klockdahl spat out a mouthful of sawdust, the expression on his face was both angry and surprised.

"It's higher than expected......"

Lindsay came to the edge of the pit, poked his head out, and proposed, "Why don't I come?" ”

Klockdahl glared back and said gloomily, "Then you go!" ”

"Okay!"

Lindsay will touch his fists and suddenly play with his heart.

Even though the little crocodile did not go all out in order to hide his identity, how many people could knock Klockdal away in this sea?

Lindsey turned, jumped from the top of the pile of wreckage, and ran wildly towards the big man in the clearing.

Ode!

……

……

Ode!

A figure flew upside down, arcing in the air before slamming down on Crocodall's side.

Klockdahl turned his head and saw Evan Lindsay with a stunned face, and couldn't help laughing gloomily:

"Hehehehehe, how does it feel!"

"Ah, it hurts......"

Lindsay didn't care about the dust on her face, opened her mouth and exhaled, her mind constantly replaying the scene just now.

What happened?

He approached the big man.

But before he could speak, the big man lifted his robe, and then threw a heavy punch.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the world was spinning.

By the time she came back to her senses, Lindsay had been sent flying into the air and had fallen here.

He only felt a pain in his chest, and said in surprise: "What a fierce master!" ”

Klockdahl lay on the other side and said disdainfully: "Now you know? ”

Lindsey shook her head, "Probably an illusion. ”

Klockdahl laughed, "You're not going to try again?" ”

Lindsay nodded, "Just try." ”

……

Crash!

Lindsay rose from the pile of wreckage and strode forward, reaching the top of the pile in the blink of an eye.

Spotting the position of the big man in the clearing below, he jumped high, and then rushed forward.

Swish!

The big man lifted his robe again, revealing his right arm wrapped in a domineering weapon.

Call!

A punch was thrown, barely dodged by Lindsay.

Lindsay squirmed, her cheek almost brushing the fist, barely getting close to the big man.

But at the moment when he was about to fight back, the big man suddenly raised his left arm, wrapped it in pitch-black armed domineering, and aimed at Lindsay's body and hammered hard.

Rumble!

Lindsay was hammered down, smashing a human-shaped hole in the ground.

Lindsay: "......"

He spun around and dodged the next punch from the big man's pursuit.

"Haha, that's an exaggeration......"

Lindsey lay on her back on the ground, grinning, and looked up at the big man.

Although he was just testing and playing, and he didn't even use the fruit ability, the other party obviously left a lot of backhand.

Lindsay felt the pain in her back, and couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't this force a bit excessive......?"

The big man looked down at Lindsay, and his slightly older voice came, playing with taste: "You guys attacked suddenly, so it's you who are too much, right?" ”

"Really?"

Lindsay only felt that it was very enjoyable, and the other party did not have a strong killing intent, so he simply talked and joked.

"Then you go to the Navy for help!"

"Haha, do you want to ask for help?"

The big man grinned, his big feet stomped on Lindsay's side, and he leaned down slowly.

Lifting the corner of the mask slightly, revealing short purple hair.

Laughed:

"Coincidentally, we're the Navy."

Lindsay: "......"

He recognized the face.

It is the former admiral and the current naval recruit instructor - [Black Wrist] Zefa!
