Chapter 274 Robin's Betrayal
This emergency meeting convened by Zhan Guo greatly boosted the morale and confidence of the navy.
He knew full well that he could not completely end the Great Pirate Era.
As he got older, he felt he had to do something for the world before retiring.
After Akainu left, the Admiral's office became quiet. Sengoku sat alone in it, thinking about how to deal with the war that he had planned.
About ten minutes later, there was no more movement of soldiers in the dark corridor outside the house.
He looked over the documents in his hand and a resume about Yalo alone.
All of a sudden, the oil lamp next to the desk went out for no reason, and the electric light flickered, causing him to look up to check the situation.
When he raised his head, he once again saw a familiar figure leaning against the sliding door.
"Have you made sufficient preparations before the war?" the figure spoke to him.
Seeing the familiar him again, Zhan Guo frowned, put the documents away, stood up from the table carefully and walked towards it.
"Compared to this, I'm more curious about what you are?" Zhan Guo suddenly sprinted forward, arrived in front of him in an instant, and pinched the figure that suddenly appeared in his office.
"Didn't you know it a long time ago?" the man said again, very calmly.
Zhan Guo lifted up the hood of his cloak, and at first glance, he saw that familiar face, grinning and laughing at him.
However, just this brief eye contact allowed Zhan Guo to see with his own eyes that Arthur, who was in his hands, changed rapidly.
From Arthur's appearance, he turned into a strange transparent soul, let out a shrill scream, and disappeared in the room like a shadow.
"You were the one who ordered the Golden Lions to surround Marijoa, right? And you were also the one who ordered the guys who attacked the Celestial Dragons' supplies and the attack on the Sabaody Archipelago, right?"
Zhan Guo looked around in panic. Marinford was on high alert. He didn't expect that someone could sneak in so easily.
"The first battle is the decisive battle. You asked for all this, Sengoku."
The ethereal voice echoed in the room until the soul beside Zhan Guo disappeared completely, and the voice disappeared with it.
Sengoku stood alone in the room, at a loss. All he could think of was the devil fruit ability related to the soul.
"He can sneak in every time. What an amazing guy."
"I hope some of the Shichibukai are willing to join the battle... Hancock betrayed, Jinbe's whereabouts are unknown, Doflamingo refused the emergency call, I hope Moriah, Hawkeye, and Blackbeard can respond to the call."
At the top of the Gate of Justice leading to the Sea of Marinford, he and Cooper, who had completed the alliance in the New World, stood there, looking at the Navy Headquarters Fortress in the distance ahead.
"You only lose one soul, but I still have countless violent souls behind me, waiting to turn you into one of their own."
……
On the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago, Stussy returned covered in wounds.
She fell from the air onto the lawn below Shaqi's Bar in Area 13 of the Chabaoti Archipelago.
Stussy immediately folded his wings behind him and walked weakly towards the door of the bar.
"Arthur... Nico Robin escaped from me. I was seriously injured, but it's okay... Don't worry about me..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted at the door of the bar.
Inside the house, Xia Qi quickly opened the door, rescued her, and brought her back into the house.
……
Grand Line, New World, Dressrosa Kingdom.
Inside the palace, Doflamingo gathered all the family members in the main hall.
Doflamingo sat on the throne, looking down at Law who was looking at him coldly, and suddenly asked:
"Luo, what's the matter with that red rope ring in the shape of a maple leaf on your hand?"
Faced with this question, Law stared at Doflamingo seriously and asked:
"Do you have any problem with it?"
This question violated his privacy and he was reluctant to answer it.
"I didn't achieve my goal of making you one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea this time, but I saw the same thing as yours on a guy's neck." Doflamingo laughed at Law:
"Is it a little lover? A token of love or something? If so, it's really unfortunate. She may have been killed."
Luo was very concerned about this. The maple leaf red thread was specially customized, and there should be no similar ornaments in the world.
He felt that Doflamingo had not lied to him and took the matter very seriously.
“However, a decisive battle that will change the world is about to take place!
The Navy vs. the Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates' large fleet!"
There is also the real behind-the-scenes controller who recently returned to the sea, defeated an admiral in a short period of time, destroyed the Seven Water Cities, and has the Ice Blade under his command, which is comparable to the Rocks Pirates in the old era!
The Ice Swordsman Arthur! "
Doflamingo opened his arms, laughed wildly, and shouted to the sky:
"Will the Navy win? Or will the pirates take over this new era? It's really exciting!"
When he was recruited by Arthur, he did not respond immediately.
He neither accepted the navy's emergency call nor responded directly to Arthur's solicitation.
He wanted to see the winner of this war before making a decision.
In order to preserve their own absolute interests.
"Doflamingo, who do you think has this red rope?" Luo endured for a long time and couldn't help but ask him.
Doflamingo stopped laughing and immediately turned his attention to Law.
"It was Arthur, and he had the same red ring hanging from his body as yours.
Based on my understanding of his personality, I guess he must have suddenly obtained this thing in some corner of the world, where he was interested in killing. After all, he killed people like crazy, and I was almost killed by him in Magic Valley Town."
Hearing this, everyone in the Don Quixote family was shocked. How strong must one be to be able to kill their own young master?
"Oh, that's impossible!" Luo gritted his teeth, almost losing control and turning to leave the palace hall:
"Absolutely impossible!!!"
Baby-5 watched him leave angrily, feeling confused, and stood up with his hands on his hips and said:
"Could it be the token of the agreement between Hongye and him? After all, Luo was completely obsessed with Hongye. If he was killed, he would definitely be very angry now."
"How dare you talk about him? Aren't you also bewitched by Momiji?" Doflamingo exposed her in public.
This made Baby-5's skin turn red all over. She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and retorted:
"She is different from all of you! She can tell me that she needs me at any time!"
The entire Don Quixote family has a great affection for Arthur's other incarnation.
Little did he know that he was willing to transform himself into a woman just to get in touch with Luo and undergo the immortality surgery.
……
Dressrosa, underground port.
Luo came from the palace to the dock where the Polar Diver was docked and gave orders to the crew:
"Bepo! Get everyone ready to set sail. Destination: Sabaody Archipelago!"
Bepo asked Luo about the situation: "What happened so suddenly, Captain?"
"Dressrosa has nothing to do with us anymore. Doflamingo's plan to make me one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has failed. There is no need for us to stay here." Law continued.
He couldn't accept the fact that Hongye, the deputy captain, was killed by someone just after he left.
So he decided to find out the truth.
The Hongye in his mind was so weak and there was absolutely no way she could be related to the Ice Sword Master.
The only thing I can think of is that Hongye was killed.
……
A piece of news that spread across the sea was scattered around the world.
The news of the capture of Fire Fist Ace spread around the world, and the Whitebeard Pirates began to mobilize all their pirate groups and issued a message of war with the navy.
Navies from all over the world were summoned one after another, fully armed, and drove their warships to Marinford to wait for this world-renowned decisive battle.
On the Grand Line, the Golden Merry, unable to move forward, docked at the Magic Valley Town Pier which was being rapidly rebuilt.
After a shipbuilder had inspected the ship, he came down from the Merry and walked towards the Straw Hat Pirates who had gathered on the shore.
"Your boat can no longer be repaired, Straw Hat Brother." He said to the Straw Hat Pirates, "The dragon's spine is broken. If you want to sail again, you have to buy a new boat."
When the Straw Hat Pirates heard the news, it seemed as if the world had collapsed.
After the defeat, almost a week has passed since we were stranded in Mogu Town again.
Arthur dealt a heavy blow to the strength and self-esteem of all the crew members, and the ship could no longer sail, either of which was enough to demoralize them.
Everyone sat in the camp on the shore with their heads down. No one said a word and morale was low.
Suddenly, Usopp stood up from his seat and said to everyone with a polite smile: "It's not a good idea to wait like this. Everyone, since we have seen that there are guys in the world who are so strong that they cannot be defeated, why don't we go our separate ways..."
Just as he was about to finish his words, Luffy suddenly shouted at him: "Usopp!"
Usopp's body trembled, cold sweat broke out on his face, and he looked at Luffy fiercely and asked:
"What's wrong, Luffy! Do you have any other ideas? Our Bailey is almost gone, and even Merry can't sail again. What do you want us to do?
Even if I try to fix Mary, I find that my ability is really useless... Damn it."
Faced with Usopp's discouraging words and guilt, all the Straw Hat Pirates felt the same way.
"Look, it's written in the newspaper that the world's shipyard, Water City 7, suddenly disappeared from the world, and the culprit is... the extremely cold swordsman Arthur!" Nami took the newspaper and looked at it carefully, then suddenly spoke up with a trembling voice.
"So, doesn't that mean there's absolutely no hope for Merry to be repaired?!" Usopp fell into despair and grief once again.
This boat was given to him by his childhood sweetheart, but now he can't use it to realize his dream.
"Such a big water city disappeared from the sea?" Sanji approached Nami and stared at the news in the newspaper in shock.
The photo of the Water Seven City was colored gray, with Arthur's bounty sign with a wicked smile next to it.
"How did he do it?" Zoro was shocked, unable to suppress the shock in his heart.
Just then, in an alley opposite the coast of their camp.
After going to Kale Bali to look for Arthur in vain, Hawkeye, covered in scars, appeared before everyone.
Hawkeye heard the Straw Hat Pirates talking and took the initiative to say to them:
"Maybe just one blow. A guy like him would definitely destroy civilization in this way."
All the Straw Hat Pirates looked towards the alley. When they found out it was Hawkeye, everyone's eyes were dull and they shouted in unison:
"Hawkeye! Why are you here?"
"What's wrong with your injuries?" The seriously injured Sauron asked hurriedly:
"What on earth is going on in the world?"
"Chopper." Luffy looked at Chopper and motioned him to go over and check on Hawkeye's condition.
Chopper transformed into human form, went to the alley, and helped Hawkeye, who had completely lost his cool look, back to the camp.
Except for Black Blade Night, the decorations on him were exactly the same as those of a tramp.
Hawkeye was helped to the camp, and Chopper began to check his injuries.
It was discovered that Hawkeye's injuries were almost all internal injuries that were difficult to heal.
"Hey, hey, have you called this kind of person to the camp? Is it really okay for him to be in such close contact with us?" Usopp hid far away, worried about his own safety.
