Chapter 172 Our Estimates Were All Wrong
Holy Land Mariejois, meeting house of the Five Elders.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
If anyone else saw this scene, they would probably laugh out loud.
A sheep and four mice sat on the seats belonging to the Five Elders, but their faces were filled with extremely human anger.
But it was just incompetent rage.
Because of that strange power, not only did they lose the ability to attack, they couldn't even speak human words. The only thing worth celebrating was that they wouldn't die easily.
And it will return to normal in a few hours.
You must know that each of them is not weak in strength, and their physical fitness is naturally extremely strong.
Lin Yan also wanted to save some money and did not let them completely turn into small animals.
After all, it's not time to kill the Five Elders yet.
Lin Yan still hoped to rely on these five immortals to suppress a series of major events, so as to avoid any accidents when he returned.
It's like saving a dog's life.
But having said that….
The weakened Five Elders have effectively lost the ability to mobilize the power of the entire Mariejois.
And this is Lin Yan's best time to act!
Silent killings continue in Mariejois...
It wasn't until about an hour later, after nine Celestial Dragons mansions were ransacked and the last batch of treasures was taken away, that Lin Yan stopped.
"Well...it's almost time to run away."
The power of the Holy Grail has almost expired.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan no longer hesitated, his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning, and he burst out with his strongest speed and jumped out of Mariejois.
At the same time, the first Five Elders to be turned into sheep finally returned to their original form.
After regaining his human body, he almost didn't hesitate.
He didn't even make a move to say hello to other people.
He jumped directly to the balcony outside the conference room.
Then at the first glance, he saw the lightning quickly escaping out of Mariejois.
"Everyone! Those who can still move! Stop that lightning with all your strength!!!"
The Five Elders roared at the top of their lungs.
"...."
The CPs who were patrolling the city were stunned, and then they immediately reacted.
Just follow the orders!
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes stared at the thunder in the sky.
The whole Mariejois began to riot.
A very small number of Logia ability users followed the elemental transformation and chased after him, while the physical experts also showed off their magical powers and walked through the air.
Behind Lin Yan, a dense group of pursuers immediately appeared.
Then the next second, something happened that made them all dumbfounded.
I saw that lightning suddenly turned around in mid-air, and then rushed straight towards the sea!
"...."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In this dumbfounded moment, the thunder suddenly fell on the sea, and then disappeared without a trace.
Logia's ability users released their abilities one after another and looked at the scene in front of them with confused expressions.
"Is this...suicide?"
"Ying, that shouldn't be the case, right? Have you ever seen a person with abilities rush into the sea?"
"Does it mean you're not a Logia user?"
"How can it be......."
The Logia ability users looked at each other.
The physical experts were also silent collectively.
Chase?
Give me a look!
If it were from Logia, it would definitely be cool.
if not......
Which human being can outrun lightning in water?
Suddenly, everyone who is good at physical arts, Logia, and possesses special abilities is in trouble.
"Report it truthfully."
"It can only be the......."
........
An hour later, the Five Elders conference hall.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. Many agents have seen it with their own eyes. It can't be faked."
The man wearing a mask respectfully reported to the Five Elders.
"I know, you go down first."
Five Elders, who was on crutches, waved his hand tiredly, indicating that the man could leave first.
"Go and do what we taught you. Take your subordinates to thoroughly investigate every place where the world's nobles live. Remember, no matter what happens, don't alert anyone or any witnesses. Kill without mercy!"
"......yes."
The masked man frowned, seeming a little confused by this order.
First, he immediately ordered all places where Celestial Dragons live in Mariejois to be blocked, and no one was allowed to enter. Now he asked himself to investigate, and no witnesses were allowed...
What happened?
But these five people in front of them are the supreme leaders of the World Government. The man would never dare to disobey them, so he could only agree and retreat.
Just do it and don’t ask.
This is the way to eternal life.
The man turned around and left, but the moment he closed the door, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became gloomy.
There was a heavy knock on the door.
"Come in."
So there is only one possibility left.
The faces of the Five Elders were filled with sadness. They had never suffered such a big setback since they were born. Everyone's face was full of unwillingness.
Several other Five Elders immediately shook their heads.
"It can't be suicide. He dared to come in front of us. There is no reason to commit suicide just because of some pursuing soldiers. Besides, don't forget the cup."
"What to do next?"
It seems to make sense.
event!
Just one glance, and his whole face instantly became distorted.
"Isn't he a person with abilities...?"
The silence lasted for a long time, and finally a long sigh came from the conference room.
A crazy roar came from the building that represented the highest power.
The Five Elders, who were slumped in their chairs, cheered up.
But it can only be incompetent rage.
"Let me see!"
"Asshole!!! If I don't kill this beast, I swear I won't be a human being!!!"
The door was slowly opened, and the person who came was the same masked man who was responsible for investigating.
And the next moment, everyone still in Mariejois heard it.
It just looks a little different than before.
Think back to the weird and powerful power of those three strange cups from before.
.........
Before the man could even speak, the Five Elders with First Generation Kitetsu hanging around their waists had already grabbed the information.
Because of this information...
"Wait, we can only wait..."
Everyone knew that Devil Fruit's ability users could not touch the sea water. Since that man dared to do so, he was absolutely confident.
Although he may be trying his best to maintain his demeanor, everyone can see that his legs are already shaking slightly.
Although it was only a brief confrontation, and they didn't even know each other, they could tell that the man was not someone who would commit suicide easily.
"What do you think?"
Then naturally, you will think about another possibility.
Half an hour later, the same conference room.
What a big deal!
There is no way the Five Elders know that there is a Devil Fruit without side effects in this world.
The man's back was already wet with cold sweat. If he could, he would never want to come to the Five Elders at this time.
After a long while, Five Elders, who was on crutches, spoke in a deep voice.
