Chapter 421 Refusing to Play on Behalf
Before the vampire fruit evolved into the true ancestor fruit, Ziger had the ability to become invisible in the dark, and this invisibility could even conceal his breath.
After evolving into the True Ancestor Fruit, this ability was strengthened. Zig could release dark mist over a large area, hiding himself and objects covered by the dark mist. That was why Lindbergh and others were unaware of the approaching warship.
At present, the navy has already formed a situation of catching turtles in a jar against the revolutionary army.
Lindbergh covered his broken arm and looked at the dense naval ships in front of him, his face pale.
Kerla, who was pinned to the ground, suddenly laughed crazily.
"Hahaha! The end of your revolutionary army has come!!"
After saying that, Kerla's body suddenly exploded without any warning, shooting out countless blood arrows, piercing the bodies of several revolutionary soldiers.
Although Lindbergh relied on his Armament Haki to withstand the penetration of the blood arrow, his hair was still stained with Kerla's blood, making him look even more miserable.
Luffy clenched his fists, and the white flame cloud behind him began to flow violently. He whispered,
"Nami, Chopper, Brook, stay away! I won't be able to take care of you if a fight breaks out!"
Nami nodded vigorously and retreated to the back with Chopper and Brook.
Jiger looked down calmly, and his voice, mixed with the domineering color, enveloped the whole place.
"Target Gothic Island, fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the warships opened fire, and the pouring shells formed a black rain curtain, all falling on Gothic Island.
For a while, continuous explosions and screams rang out on Gothic Island. People who had not cultivated their domineering power to a certain level could not withstand such intensive bombardment. They would be blown to pieces in a few seconds.
Needless to say, those who have not mastered domineering power are complete cannon fodder.
Lindbergh dragged his injured body back and forth among the shells. If he couldn't avoid them, he would rely on his armed color to resist.
Luffy let out a strange cry and ran into the air, his body expanding rapidly along the way, and he used his huge size to catch large pieces of the shells.
The strong defense brought by the Nika form makes him fearless of the bombardment of artillery shells, and he can even bounce some artillery shells back with his strong elasticity.
Looking at Luffy jumping up and down in the air, Jiger narrowed his eyes and ordered to stop the shelling.
At this time, there were less than a thousand revolutionary soldiers left on Gothic Island, and the remaining ones were all covered in dust and dirt from the bombing, with more or less injuries on their bodies.
Swish!
A pair of black wings spread out from Jiger's body, and he only left one sentence to Lucia beside him,
"Leave no one behind."
After saying that, the wings behind Jiger shook and he flew high into the sky in an instant.
Lucia drew the sword from her waist, looked at the revolutionary army below, and said coldly,
"Everyone go ashore and wipe out all the revolutionary troops!"
As Lindbergh looked on in despair, a white wave formed by the navy surged towards him and instantly swallowed him and the remaining revolutionary soldiers.
In the sky, Jiger's figure flashed like a black stream of light and stopped in front of Luffy. He did not rush to take action, but just looked at Luffy and said lightly,
"I really didn't expect that you could watch your grandfather die."
Luffy looked painful when he heard this and said,
"No, that's not me. I don't want Grandpa to die. I just... I just can't control myself!"
"Haha, the Nika Fruit, which symbolizes free will, can't even control its own behavior? This is too funny."
"do not talk!!!"
Jiger only said two sentences from beginning to end to completely break Luffy's defense. He clenched his fists, roared and rushed towards Jiger.
He threw a punch, but Jiger easily caught it with his hand. Jiger glanced at Luffy's fist and said,
"You seem to be getting weaker. Haven't you eaten? You should call Joyboy out."
Luffy gritted his teeth and said,
"No need! This is my body!!"
As he spoke, a large amount of white mist emanated from Luffy's body, and the muscles on his arms bulged. Jiger felt the increasing strength in his hands, nodded, and said,
"It looks a little better now, but it's still not good enough."
Zig grabbed Luffy's fist and pulled it hard, pulling the latter directly in front of him.
Before Luffy could react, he was hit in the face by a fist with black energy rising from it. The terrifying force directly knocked him from the air to the ground, creating spider-web-like cracks on the ground.
After a moment, a dull drum sound rang out from the cracks in the ground, and the whole earth began to vibrate with the rhythm of the drum sound. Then, Luffy's white figure shot out from the cracks.
He fell to the ground in a half-squatting position, and when he raised his head, two lines of bright red blood flowed from his nostrils.
Jiger hugged his arms and slowly fell to the ground. With a thought, the shadow under his feet condensed into a thick shadow spear and shot towards Luffy in front of him.
Luffy immediately clapped his hands and pressed the Shadow Spear tightly between his palms. He wanted to smash the Shadow Spear directly, but he was unable to do it.
The tip of the Shadow Spear was approaching Luffy's chest, and was about to pierce his heart.
At this moment, Joyboy, who had been silent for a long time in Luffy's body, finally spoke.
"Luffy, don't you realize the current situation? Without my help, you will never be able to defeat Tianlong!"
Luffy gritted his teeth and said while resisting the attack of the Shadow Spear.
"No! I can do it! It's my own body, there's no reason for this..."
Crack!
Conqueror's lightning began to emanate from Luffy's body. He burst out with all his strength, let out a long roar towards the sky, and forcibly threw the Shadow Spear aside. The tip of the spear brushed past his shoulder and shot away.
Tick tock tick…
Blood flowed from the wound on Luffy's shoulder and dripped onto the ground.
Although he was still injured, a look of relief appeared on Luffy's face, because he felt that he had finally done it with his own strength, and he "resisted" Tianlong's attack!
clap clap clap!
Jiger clapped his hands and laughed,
"Yes, it seems that I really didn't hire a substitute this time."
From the literal meaning, Luffy understood that the "substitute" that Jiger mentioned was referring to Joy Boy. He snorted and was about to speak, but the scene in front of him made his eyes widen and his expression froze.
Eight "dark tentacles" slowly rose from behind Jiger, then gradually hardened, with a dark cold light flashing at the top.
"How are you going to stop it this time?"
