Chapter 351: Peak Competition Ends
The wind stopped and the clouds ceased, and the sky of Chu became vast and boundless.
The sun's rays shone indiscriminately on the earth, and on the ruined walls of Marijoa.
"… Well, Lord Mercury, what should we do next?"
Cyborg Kong hesitated again and again, but still walked forward under the expectant gazes of the people behind him, walked up to Mercury and asked in a low voice.
Mercury shook his head slowly, his eyes filled with loss and sadness, as he watched Maryjoa, which had become a ruin. Looking up, he saw that Cyborg Sora, Sengoku, Galin Saint, Fix Saint, Venus, Saturn and others were all seriously injured.
After a while, Mercury looked up at Kong, raised his arm and placed it on Kong's arm, and said softly:
"Kong, you've worked hard. This is my responsibility. I was wrong to trust Lex for so many years. I was wrong to believe that he would really understand the Holy Land and take over the Holy Land. I was wrong to trust some suggestions from Saint Maz and Saint Peter... Kong, you've done a great job."
It seemed that he was not just comforting Cyborg Sora. Mercury turned around and saw that he was surrounded by high-ranking officials of the World Government. After this battle, everyone couldn't help feeling a sense of grief.
CP General Manager Jing is dead.
The world's highest power, Mars, is dead.
The world's highest power, Jupiter, is dead.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Fite, is dead.
And just now, the Red Earth Continent Army sent a battle report - the army's top combat force, General Keynes, was killed by Whitebeard in the Red Earth Continent, and the old army marshal also died. The army was almost destroyed, with only one in ten surviving.
This was a complete failure. It had been a complete failure from the moment the Five Elders chose to publicly execute Roger.
Mercury first looked towards the depths of Pangu City, and when he saw that there was no movement coming out, he couldn't help feeling distressed.
Even after being defeated to such an extent, Lord Im still remained silent. Compared with Lex, the supreme leader of the opposing camp, Lord Im seemed really unqualified. However, Mercury dared not say these words out loud and just felt sad in his heart.
In desperation, Mercury stood up, looked around at the high-ranking officials of the World Government, and said calmly:
"Everyone! ~ The Holy Land was established more than 800 years ago! We have ruled the world for hundreds of years! We have more than a hundred states under our rule, a million soldiers, and a strong army. What difficulties can defeat us?! Can the Lunaria tribe do it? No! Can Elbaf do it? No! Can Rocks do it? No!! ~ And now, Rex and his group of rebels are stirring up trouble, and conspiring with Roger, who was killed by thousands of swords, to subvert the world with a vicious plan, intending to overthrow our foundation and disrupt the peaceful Qinghai——"
After a pause, Mercury took a deep breath and continued to speak loudly:
"But did they succeed? Perhaps some of you think he succeeded, but I tell you! No!!~ He still didn't succeed! What is the World Government? What is the Holy Land of the Gods? It's me! It's you! It's General Fate and other martyrs who fought one after another, and these loyal and righteous people! Yes! Lex killed some people, but the foundation of my Holy Land is still there, don't forget! We Celestial Dragons still have national treasures that have not been born! Why Lex dare not show up on the battlefield openly is because he is afraid of our Celestial Dragons' important weapons, our national treasures! He is also a Celestial Dragon, but a traitor among us Celestial Dragons!"
Mercury's voice gradually became louder and his words became sharper as he continued:
"I will issue my order! From today on, Leon Lex will be expelled from our Celestial Dragon Clan! His name will be erased from the genealogy of the Izambaron family! Also! Reissue the bounty order for all pirates in the New World, whether it is the Red Earl, the Golden Lion, the Whitebeard, or even Lex! To show the Holy Land's determination to fight them to the death!!"
Saturn and Venus saw this and immediately said:
"Agree!"
"Seconded."
The other world government leaders responded:
"I will obey the Holy Order!!!"
Mercury looked up at the sky with sharp eyes. The clouds had been shattered by Lex's sword, and scattered across the sky like cotton wool:
"The destiny belongs to Leon? Humph! ~ Arrogant man, the whole world will punish him together!"
Although the losses were heavy, and it could even be said that it was the most unprecedented failure in the past eight hundred years, Mercury was still able to stabilize people's hearts and re-inspire their fighting spirit!
The World Government has never been a small fry, but a qualified enemy!
Between the Flowers——
Im's observation Haki sees through everything and observes everything that happens on Mary Geoise. He looks at what Mercury does and nods slightly.
……
……
New World·Flying Pirates Headquarters·Ante Island——
Lex stared at Shanuo with a serious look, motionlessly. Also staring at Shanuo was Roy, who was guarding the new world.
The Red Earl, the Golden Lion, the White Beard, Wang Zhi, the Silver Axe and others also all gathered here. Like Lex, they all stared at Shanuo, the focus of the whole audience, with serious eyes.
Xia Nuo chuckled and raised his left hand shyly.
"Hey, why are you all staring at me? Although the captain's contribution is indeed great, Lex is not bad either. Oh, yes, Roy also did something this time, and there are also seniors Ryder and others--"
Before Shanuo could finish his boasting, Lex interrupted him:
"Do you know how stupid it is for you to do this?!~ How can I explain this to Sister-in-law Benny! How can I explain this to the millions of people in the Antalya Islands?!~"
Lex, who had never been so angry in his life, was completely furious this time.
I saw that the sleeve of Xia Nuo's right arm was empty, swaying in the wind, and there was nothing inside.
Shanuo, his arm is broken!
This incident happened on the battlefield of Marijoa before. Except for the top-level beings like Lex and the Red Earl who had observed the Haki, most of the other strong people did not notice it.
Roy had a cold face at the moment, looking at Xia Nuo unhappily:
"I knew you were going to let me down!"
Shanuo didn't care about his broken arm at first, but after hearing Lex and Roy's scolding, he immediately got angry and retorted:
“Fuck! I fought to the death in Mary Geoise, why are you two bastards still holding on to me? Was it easy for me to stop that old Biden on Mercury? That old monster is the fucking leader of the Five Elder Stars, and I confronted him alone the whole time, without giving him a chance to support anyone! In order to stop him, I even lost an arm, why are you two bastards so ungrateful!~”
Although Roy did not participate in the Mary Geoise battlefield, he directly responded:
"That's the problem! Who told you to show off again? Didn't Lex know that Mercury was stronger than you? That's why he let you fight him. When you were fighting hard, Lex had a reason to help you. But you, let me guess, were originally evenly matched with Mercury, but you got hot-headed and wanted to kill Mercury on the spot, so you just went for it blindly? And then you lost your arm."
Xia Nuo looked incredulous, looking at Roy as if he were a god:
"What the hell?!~ How come you-didn't you go to Marijoa?~"
Lex was also amused:
"Heh~ Second brother, do we still need to go to Mary Geoise? With your IQ, you lost an arm even with a favorable situation. If Second brother was here, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die on the spot?"
Lex and Roy's words made Shanuo feel ashamed, and he could only shout in a low voice:
"What? I'm the only one injured in this war."
"Oh~Okay, then how about having Morgans publish a front-page newspaper immediately to report the great deed of our Captain Shano who had his arm gloriously removed in Marijoa?"
"Ah?!~ No, that's too embarrassing."
"You still know how to embarrass yourself. It seems you are not that stupid yet."
Several legendary pirates nearby saw the harmonious scene between the three brothers and couldn't help but try to stop the fight:
"Ahem, okay Lex, Shanuo is also a man of merit."
"Yes, Ryder, see if you can restore Shano. The vampire fruit should be able to regenerate a broken arm."
Lex glanced at Shano unhappily and said casually;
"Okay, I'll let Dr. Indigo check on this idiot, but it depends on luck whether he can recover. If you go home with your empty-armed body, I'll beat you to death if Sister Bernie cries."
Roy followed closely behind:
"I'll let Stussy go with me to comfort my sister-in-law. This idiot is really a worry for me."
Xia Nuo, who was embarrassed by everyone's criticism, could only act like a naughty child who had made a mistake, at a loss as to what to do and what to say.
……
Total casualties on Lex's side:
Xia Nuo's right arm, and the little face that Xia Nuo had.
