Chapter 1089 Doflamingo’s invitation! (Third update)
Chapter 1088 Doflamingo’s invitation! (Third update)
More than four months ago.
Shanks led thirteen Celestial Dragons who failed to graduate successfully and were unwilling to waste their lives in the "Land of the Gods".
They broke through the heavy interceptions of the Holy Land garrison and CIPHER POL, desperately jumped off the red earth continent, and plunged into the dark and cold sea. In the end, they were lucky enough to survive without any damage.
Next, they snatched a sea ship and a record pointer from a group of pirates, and officially embarked on a day and night escape.
The first destination is the Western Sea that Shanks is most familiar with.
Because except for him, no one else had ever left the vicinity of Mariejoia.
In other words, in the past few months, they spent their time traveling and battling with the air.
In the eyes of Shanks and others, their identity as Celestial Dragons must have been taken away.
And even if the World Government probably won't issue a reward list because of their special status, it will definitely send people to arrest them secretly.
These are fourteen Tianlong people who are on the run!
There’s no guarantee that the Knights of God will be dispatched!
So Shanks and others hid from XZ along the way, choosing to avoid whether they were the police or the navy.
But what they didn't know was that no one caught them.
However, the identity of the Tianlong people was indeed taken away. After all, this was a serious violation and it was impossible to pretend that nothing happened.
Half a month ago, Shanks and his party finally arrived in the West Sea.
Later, I found out that there was a big monster from the ninja world near the Kingdom of Flowers.
It is said that it is an eight-tailed beast. Not only is it powerful, but it can also communicate with people normally and wanders to the shore of the Flower Country from time to time.
This made Shanks very interested, and he immediately led everyone to the door.
The result did not disappoint him either.
This bull ghost is indeed very interesting, and he has heard a lot about the ninja world.
And now, this ‘Bawei Island’ has welcomed a new guest.
"Are you here for me too?" Niu Gui was surprised and unsure.
In fact, he couldn't beat Shanks before, mainly because he didn't use Tailed Beast Jade.
I finally have my own home, so of course I don't want to destroy it with my own hands.
So it was purely a 'hand-to-hand' fight between the two sides.
Shanks, with the help of others, teamed up to defeat Niu Gui.
That's right.
Although Shanks continued to exercise every day in the past few years, he was under house arrest after all, and his strength could not improve much.
After all, the others are all dropouts who failed to graduate from Tianlong Holy Academy, so how strong can they be?
It's not easy for them to work together to suppress Niu Gui who doesn't use all his strength.
But no matter how he is evaluated as a very strong person by Shanks, Niu Gui feels that he should not be weaker than him.
Hey, can this strong starfish really be seen everywhere?
Niu Gui was speechless at this time.
At the same time, the idea of following Shanks and the others on a long journey was also somewhat wavering.
This is the case at home, isn't it more dangerous outside?
Shanks didn't respond, but the blade showed half a cold light.
The other party's aura is slowly approaching, and he is obviously coming step by step.
This is a complete lack of regard for yourself and others.
Shanks sighed inwardly.
He felt that he was going to encounter a tough battle next.
There is a high probability that the person coming is here to find them.
Maybe even a member of the Knights of God!
Hey, they stayed at Yawei Island for too long.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely depressing and tense.
It seemed that even the chirping of birds and insects had disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Fifteen pairs of eyes were fixed on the direction where the footsteps were gradually coming.
But before anyone could see him, a strange laughter reached his ears first.
“咒咒咒咒咈~~~”
Everyone looked at each other, frowned, and pulled out their swords in unison.
"I'm glad to see you all, my fellow tribesmen who dare to fight out of the Holy Land for freedom."
I saw a tall pink figure walking out of the woods with a smile.
This man was over three meters tall and had blond hair.
The upper body is covered with a pink feather coat, and the lower body is wearing red nine-point pants with white lines.
The leg hair on the calf is clearly visible, and there is a pair of dark red sunglasses on his face.
The walking posture and pace give people an extremely arrogant feeling.
He doesn't look like a good person, but what the other party says is that he is of the same race?
Could it be that this person is also a Tianlong!
Everyone present felt tense, Shanks also felt heavy, secretly thinking, he is indeed a member of the Knights of God!
"Hey, why are you so serious? Let me introduce myself first, blah blah blah~"
"My name is Don Quixote Doflamingo. By orders from above, I am currently the president of the 'Starfish Adventurers Association'. However, it can also be called the 'Top 100 Combat Association' because we only need to recruit those who have won the previous 'Ten Thousands of Fighters' Association." The World's Top 100 Combat Power Competition 'Masters who have achieved outstanding results~"
As soon as Doflamingo appeared, he started to act like a guest. He introduced himself in a long paragraph and explained what the 'Starfish Adventurers Association' is.
In fact, at the beginning, he did want to use the 'Top 100 Combat Power Association' as the official name.
But later I felt that my association should not only accept the so-called ‘top 100 masters’.
And he can understand Lord Im's intention to establish this association himself.
That is to say, we must control those strong folk who are unwilling to join the officialdom.
Then there must be people who are unwilling to participate in the ‘Top 100 Combat Power Competition’.
Simply change the name to ‘Starfish Adventurers Association’.
This seems to be less official and more civil.
Adventurer, this is so folk!
"So can you all join in and work with me to build and manage the association?"
Doflamingo told him his purpose on the spot.
"What!!!"
Except for Niu Gui, who didn't understand much, everyone present, including Shanks, was shocked.
"Aren't you here to punish us?"
"Aren't you a member of the Knights of God?"
"Since you know our identity and situation, you still dare to find us?"
For a while.
These undergraduates from Tianlong Holy Academy were all asking questions about Doflamingo.
Shanks remained silent, thinking and waiting for the other party's answer.
"Baaaaaaaaaaa~"
Doflamingo didn't seem surprised as they gradually quieted down.
"Come one by one, don't be in a hurry."
"First of all, I am not a member of the Knights of God. Secondly, although you have been deprived of your Tianlong identity, no one has been sent to arrest you, so don't be too nervous."
Doflamingo put his hands in his pockets and looked through their figures, focusing on Shanks.
Even the eight-tailed ox-ghost, he just glanced at it and continued:
"Also, I'm actually not very interested in you. This time I'm mainly looking for the former crew member of the Roger Pirates, Shanks!"
"Mihawk told me that your talent is no less than his, but your brain is a little influenced by Roger's people."
"This is of course very serious for the world government, but for me and my association, it's not a big deal. You can't do anything anyway, blah blah blah~"
Doflamingo's words were harsh and his laughter was even more unpleasant.
But Shanks asked expressionlessly: "Why should I agree to you?"
"If just the threat of force is not enough, these people standing in front of you are all guys who fought their way out of the Holy Land for freedom!"
Doflamingo grinned and asked:
"Don't you want to see other worlds?"
With one sentence, Shanks' pupils suddenly shrank into pimples
