Chapter 1404 On top of the war (6)

Those prisoners on the sixth floor who had not yet escaped attacked him like hungry wolves, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

But Xiliu showed no fear. The sharp blade in his hand flashed with cold light, and every swing brought about a bloody storm.

At this moment, Magellan rushed to the scene like a whirlwind.

Without saying a word, he rushed into the battle circle and fought side by side with Xilu.

Magellan exuded a powerful aura and his moves were extremely fierce. For a moment, he suppressed those vicious prisoners and made them unable to fight back.

Not long after, with the tacit cooperation of the two, the rioting prisoners on the sixth floor fell one after another, and the originally noisy battlefield gradually quieted down.

"Shiryu, this is an emergency!"

Magellan didn't even have time to catch his breath, and said anxiously: "You take the elevator to the first floor and stop the invading Blackbeard Pirates! I will go up from the fourth floor and outflank those prisoners with Hannibal!"

Due to time constraints, Magellan did not even have time to explain and could only give orders quickly.

After listening to this, Xiliu nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the fourth floor.

There is a hidden elevator that goes straight up to the first floor.

Xiliu stepped into the elevator and pressed the button. With a slight roar, the elevator rose rapidly and rushed to the first floor.

When Xilu stepped into the first floor, his ears were instantly filled with continuous and deafening gunshots.

The Blackbeard Pirates came like a black whirlwind and broke into this floor with unstoppable force.

At this moment, Shiryu unexpectedly met the Blackbeard Pirates who were coming towards him.

"There are five enemies!"

Shiryu held a lit cigar in his mouth, puffing smoke leisurely, while squinting his eyes to examine the Blackbeard Pirates who were gradually approaching.

Blackbeard, who was standing at the front of the team, also stared at the figure blocking his way, thinking to himself, "Who is this guy? From the aura emanating from him, it is obvious that we have encountered a very difficult person this time. Could it be that... he is Magellan?"

Thinking of this, Blackbeard couldn't help but frown, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"You must be Marshall D. Teach, the famous Blackbeard!"

Xiliu asked in a deep voice with an expressionless face. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Hahahahaha! That's right, I am Blackbeard! I didn't expect to meet someone who recognizes me here. So, may I ask your name?"

Blackbeard laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in the narrow passage.

However, in response to Blackbeard's question, Shiryu simply raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, an unexpected scene took place - under the astonished gaze of Blackbeard and others, Shiryu actually slowly moved sideways, clearing the originally congested passage.

This sudden action left all members of the Blackbeard Pirates stunned and completely confused for a moment.

"Captain Xiliu, what on earth are you doing?"

Seeing this scene, the jailers who were still desperately resisting the attack of the Blackbeard Pirates were suddenly horrified and screamed one after another.

However, in the next moment, a cold light suddenly flashed, as dazzling as lightning.

The sword energy whizzed past with great force, as if it could tear the air apart.

The many jailers who had been tightly surrounding Xiliu didn't even have time to utter a scream before they fell to the ground and died, with blood splattering on the spot.

Xiliu put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard slowly and expressionlessly, and murmured softly: "Maybe... it's time to change my identity!"

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a flash.

Thinking back then, the little girl who had fought with him has now become a famous swordsman who is renowned and feared by all.

But what about himself? After so many years, he still stagnated and was stuck at the peak of the swordsman realm, unable to make any breakthroughs. He was always one crucial step away from the legendary great swordsman realm.

Day after day, year after year, such days made him feel extremely bored and tired.

Now, he has finally made up his mind to break free from the constraints of his current identity and pursue a completely new lifestyle.

And the Blackbeard Pirates that appeared before him at this moment seemed to be a perfect opportunity and choice.

When the members of the Blackbeard Pirates witnessed Shiryu's superb swordsmanship with their own eyes, a solemn look appeared on everyone's face, and their hearts were filled with alertness.

The power of that attack just now was probably no less than that of their captain, Blackbeard himself.

Even Blackbeard, who was always arrogant, fell into a brief silence after seeing this scene.

After noticing that Shiryu had voluntarily given way, Blackbeard did not say a word. Instead, he carefully led his men to maintain a high state of alert and walked past Shiryu cautiously.

Just as the two sides passed each other, Blackbeard suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Shiryu.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. Blackbeard's eyes inexplicably revealed a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"Thief hahahahahaha, guys, let's go!"

Blackbeard's ferocious face and his wild laughter made it seem as if the whole world was shaking because of his laughter.

At his command, the group of wolf-like and tiger-like subordinates behind him rushed forward with howls.

At this moment, a thrilling and fierce battle was taking place at the entrance to the second floor.

Hannibal had been beaten badly by Luffy, his face covered with bruises and redness. However, even so, he was still guarding the entrance to the second floor like an indestructible wall, with no intention of backing down.

"You damned fellows are nothing but notorious pirates and rebels who are trying to rebel! As long as you villains are still at large and wandering on this vast ocean, those kind and innocent people will be worried all day long, fearing that their loved ones will suffer an accident, and will have trouble sleeping every night. Therefore, in order to allow those weak and helpless people to live a stable and peaceful life, I must lock all of you vicious criminals into a cold and dark prison! This is a hellish fortress. If it is destroyed, countless people will fall into endless fear and despair! I said I won't let you go, and I will never let you take even one step forward!"
