Chapter 274: Encountering injustice on the road:

Although the teenage Teach is far from as mature as Blackbeard at the beginning of the story, he now at least knows how to endure and can discern the situation.

But being in Lex's alternate dimension, no matter how patient Teach is or how good at scheming and scheming, it will be of no avail.

He forced a smile and looked up at the tall Lex in front of him:

"Zhehaha, Brother Lex, what's the matter?"

Lex didn't respond and smiled softly:

"Teach, can you tell me why you are so obsessed with the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Hearing this, Teach's short and fat body shook suddenly:

"Haha, Brother Lex, I don't know what you are talking about, haha..."

Tiqi smiled to hide his fear and took a few steps back unconsciously. He really had no way to retreat.

Lex sighed:

"Teach, originally-never mind, you don't have to say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lex's space fruit was activated, and Teach in front of him was instantly frozen, unable to move at all.

Immediately, Lex left the alien space and headed thousands of miles towards Fenghuai Tree in the West Sea.

Although he could read minds, he could not read all of Teach's memories, nor could he completely understand why he ate two fruits.

But even though I can't do it, my master can!

The Red Count can not only read minds, but also read memories, especially when combined with the awakened vampire fruit, he can read every word accurately.

As long as we bring Teach to the Red Earl, everything will be clear.

……

Lex is traveling through a different space at this moment.

However, his observation Haki can penetrate the different space at any time and "see" the scenes outside.

When Rex was passing through the Grand Line and Toma Island, his observation Haki accidentally noticed an interesting scene -

"Starxton! You old dog! You're over a hundred years old! And yet you still monopolize the power of the Hunter Association and don't give us newcomers a chance! I'm going to kill you today! ~ Justice for Heaven!"

A group of people dressed in different clothes surrounded an old man who looked frail. He was the president of the Hunter Association introduced in the previous article - Starkston!

A strong man who has gone through several eras and experienced countless ups and downs. He is also the mentor of the former New World Pirate Apophis.

After the Pentles World Expo, he took the Hunter Association and voluntarily withdrew from the New World. This was a compromise with Lex, so Lex didn't pay much attention to him afterwards and let him take his men to paradise.

And now, new conflicts seem to have arisen within the Hunter Association.

Starkston's expression remained unchanged. After a century of ups and downs, his calm mind and strong will were beyond the imagination of everyone present.

It's just being besieged by a group of young people, it's no big deal.

He was leaning on a cane, hanging on for his last breath, and looked like he was dying:

"Ahem, so why don't you just tell me honestly? I will naturally resign as the president. Why bother with this?"

The man who took the lead in provoking the incident smiled coldly:

"Haha, not only will I make you resign as the president, but I will also take your head with me to the New World to seek refuge with Lord Lex!"

In the different space, Lex watched this scene quietly with a strange expression.

Come to me? No, why do you think I will accept you if you have Starkston's head?

Starkston also couldn't figure it out:

"Galion, why do you think that Lex will accept you and the new Hunter Association if you hold my head?"

The man smiled confidently:

"Since you are not going to have a good death, I will tell you generously!"

"In fact, someone has already approached us and told us that as long as we kill you, the old dog, and take your head to the new world, some big shots will come to take us in. By then, our Hunter Association will have a brighter future!"

Starkston was silent.

Lex's expression in the different space was even more subtle. How come I didn't know about this? Who did I order to kill Starkston? Who was doing evil things under my name?

Outside the alien space——

"No point in talking any more! Give me your life, old dog!~"

Before he finished speaking, Galien and his companions attacked him in a group, swords flying, and they rushed towards the lonely old man Starkston with domineering power.

Starkston sighed deeply:

"Ah, I'm old, whatever... Star Aurora——!"

Starkston's old and decayed body suddenly burst into starlight, shining brightly, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed, the cross aurora flashed with sharpness, the sword's unparalleled power instantly dispersed the siege of everyone.

The next moment, Starkston gently swung the long sword that shone with the light of stars and slashed across:

"Starry Light——~!!~"

moment--

The dazzling aurora overshadowed the blazing sun over the sea, reflecting the sky, and Starkston himself turned into the aurora and flew up! ~

Natural Aurora Fruit!!!~

"Hmph!~ Old dog! Don't think that the natural type is so great. My armament color is not vegetarian!"

The leader, Galien, clenched his fists, and the next moment, he roared:

"Giant Bear!!"

Hula——!

Galien's clothes were torn, his hair grew wildly, his eyes turned red, and his two palms turned into extremely sharp bear claws! They were wrapped with condensed Armament Haki!

Animal type·Ancient species·Giant bear form!!

"Roar!!~"

Galien transformed into an orc, his physical strength and combat power increased several times at the same time, and he rushed straight towards Starkston in the air!

Starkston's eyes were cold. Even though he was over a hundred years old, he was in no good mood facing the desertion of his friends and the betrayal of his former subordinates.

"You don't know your own limitations, hum!~"

Starston snorted coldly, then swung the long sword in his hand, and the star-like aurora on his body illuminated the sky and the earth. He had already awakened the fruit for sixty years, and had already developed the aurora fruit to an unprecedented level!

Although Shanuo often boasts that he is the best natural system in the ocean, in fact, the one who has made the most in-depth development and the longest immersion in natural system fruits in this sea should be Starkston!

A sword slashed down from the sky, the blade light was so bright that it pressed the orc form of Galion so hard that he couldn't raise his head.

Starkston took advantage of the victory and attacked again with a knife!

And at the critical moment when Starkston and Gallien were fighting -

Bang! ! ~——

A gunshot rang out, echoing throughout the venue!

Starkston covered his heart and looked down with difficulty. In his chest where blood was gushing out, there was a stone bullet embedded in his flesh!

"…Seastone bullets?~"

Galien laughed evilly, his plot having succeeded:

"Haha!~ Old dog! Times have changed! I'm afraid you haven't even heard of what a seastone bullet is?"

Although he was mocking Starkston, Galien's hands did not stop moving. While he was speaking, he launched another heavy blow with armed color, hitting Starkston hard!

boom! ——

There was a dull thud and Starkston collapsed to the ground in a mess.

If it was at his peak, a seastone bullet would indeed cause damage to Starkston and prevent him from using his fruit ability, but it would never make him so miserable and weak!

But now Starkston is over a hundred years old!

The aging of his physical functions caused his strength to plummet, and he could only rely on the ability of his fruit to maintain the combat power of a weak admiral.

Gallien walked forward with a sneer, took a pair of seastone handcuffs handed to him by someone next to him, and put them on Starkston.

This time, Starkston completely lost the power to resist.

Gallien laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! You've finally come to this, old dog! I've been displeased with you since you allowed your favorite disciple Apophis to go out to sea as a pirate and dominate the New World! You even used the resources of our Hunter Association to support your pirate disciple in private! Old dog! You deserve to die!"

Starkston had a stern expression and said nothing.

But Gallien was not satisfied, and kicked Starkston's old face hard. In an instant, a huge shoe print appeared on Starkston's wrinkled old face.

"Hahaha!~"

"Hahaha!"

Just when everyone was feeling proud——

A calm and gentle voice came from the void:

"Senior Starkston, why did you end up like this?~"

next moment--

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lex stepped out from the rippling void behind him!
