Chapter 144 Return to the City of 7 Waters
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Usopp's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of disbelief.
His eyes seemed to bulge out as he stared at Mary in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Here's what happened..." Ling Tian looked at their incredulous expressions and decided to explain it to them in detail.
At this moment, Sanji and Zoro, who had just defeated Lucci, also ran over panting.
"What happened?" Sanji asked anxiously while gasping for breath and adjusting his breathing.
Usopp's body trembled uncontrollably. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Merry tremblingly, and said with a hint of fear in his voice: "He...he said he is the Merry!"
When Sanji and Zoro heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then they turned their eyes to Merry, with the same look of astonishment on their faces.
Their eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world, and they seemed completely unable to accept the facts before them.
Zoro's brows were knitted tightly together. His eyes, as sharp as a sword, were fixed on Ling Tian. He said with a hint of disbelief in his voice, "Are you kidding me? How could the Merry turn into a child? What is going on?"
"This is what happened..." Ling Tian took a deep breath, then explained Merry's current situation in detail to the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
After everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces were still in extreme shock, and no one spoke for a while.
Sanji touched his chin, his eyes flashing with thought: "I didn't expect that Lingtian, you actually have this ability..."
Zoro quickly recovered from his shock. After all, if he could even resurrect Kuina, then turning Merry into a child was not particularly strange to him.
After Ling Tian explained the matter of Merry to the Straw Hat Pirates, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Let's take the original ship back to the Seven Water City."
Everyone nodded, their expressions still showing the complex emotions of just learning about Mary's situation.
However, deep inside the Judicial Island, Spandam heard his men panicking and reporting, "Sir, the Straw Hat Pirates' Blackfoot Sanji and Zoro defeated Lucci and the others!"
Spandam's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. His distorted face was filled with anger and fear. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Straw Hat Pirates, I will never let you go!"
Then, he thought of the golden Den Den Mushi that he got from Aokiji, which could launch the Demon Slaying Order. A hint of madness and determination flashed in his eyes. He picked up the Den Den Mushi without hesitation and gave the order to launch the Demon Slaying Order.
At the naval headquarters, five vice admirals took immediate action after receiving the order.
They quickly assembled their troops and prepared to set out on their mission.
Unlike the original work, this time, because Ling Tian is in the Straw Hat Pirates, Garp also decided to go with them. As one of the legendary figures of the Navy, Garp's joining undoubtedly adds more variables and expectations to this operation.
Not long after, the navy's warships arrived at the waters near Judicial Island in a menacing manner.
On the warship, a general stood at the bow, looking resolutely at the Judicial Island ahead. He raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Prepare for bombardment!"
As his order was issued, countless shells rained down on Judicial Island. These shells flew towards the target with great power, instantly covering the entire Judicial Island in a sea of fire.
At this moment, Ling Tian and others who were running suddenly heard a deafening sound of artillery fire coming from behind them.
Ling Tian frowned, thinking to himself that something was wrong: "This is the sound of the Demon Slayer Order's artillery fire, it looks like the situation is not good!" He stopped, turned around and looked behind him.
In the distance, the navy ships were firing shells and bombarding Judicial Island. Smoke and flames filled the air wherever the shells went. The peaceful Judicial Island had now turned into a ruin.
"Luffy, you go first, I have some things to deal with." After knowing that the navy used the Demon Slayer Order, Ling Tian spoke to Luffy and the others with a serious expression.
When Luffy heard Ling Tian's words, he stopped and looked at Ling Tian with a puzzled look on his face. He asked loudly: "Ling Tian, what do you mean? We are partners. We should go together!"
The purpose of their coming to the Judicial Island was to save the Merry. Now that Merry has been rescued, Luffy really doesn’t understand what Ling Tian is going to do.
"What are you going to do?" Zoro also stopped, frowned, and asked with sharp eyes in confusion.
Zoro had the same idea as Luffy. The Merry had been rescued, and he couldn't understand why Ling Tian had to stay alone.
However, facing the questioning of the two, Ling Tian did not respond immediately. He just stood there quietly, his eyes flashing with determination.
At this moment, only he himself knows what his real intention is.
In his heart, Ling Tian silently said to the system: "The system integrates Kadoya Shi template."
【Integrating...】
[30%]
[50%]
[70%]
【Fusion completed】
As the system prompt sounded, indicating that the fusion was complete, Ling Tian felt as if his mind was being pierced by millions of fine needles at the same time, the pain was unbearable!
Then, a surging wave of memories came over him, as if to drown and swallow him. He closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and concentrated on understanding and accepting this sudden influx of information.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes, exhaled deeply, and said to himself: "Let me take a look at the legendary Demon Slayer Order."
After all the new memories in his mind were sorted out, Ling Tian turned to look at Sauron and others with determination in his eyes and spoke solemnly.
However, before Zoro and the others could respond, Ling Tian raised his arm without hesitation and swung it vigorously.
In an instant, a transparent light curtain appeared out of thin air, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. This light curtain exuded a heart-pounding mysterious light, as if it was a passage connecting to another world.
"This is..." Zoro and others were surprised, but before they could finish their words, they were enveloped by the sudden appearance of light.
This is exactly one of Kazushi Kadoya's skills - Aurora Curtain. After Ling Tian's Aurora Curtain completely enveloped Luffy and the others, something magical happened.
Luffy and the others only saw a flash of light before their eyes, and then they were surprised to find that they were already in the harbor of the City of Seven Waters.
"This... this is too amazing!" Nami widened her eyes and looked at the familiar scene around her in disbelief. Her heart was filled with shock and curiosity. This ability to teleport was beyond her imagination.
Sanji lit a cigarette and muttered to himself, "How many mysterious abilities does this guy have?"
His eyes revealed a hint of admiration and envy. Luffy jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Wow! Ling Tian is so awesome!"
He was extremely amazed at Ling Tian's abilities and was full of admiration.
