Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 255 Trapped Beast
Where does my anger come from?

【Why...why can you ask such a question? 】

Is it fun to fool around with other people's feelings?

[He's clearly a pirate who kills without blinking an eye.]

[My most respected senior lost his loved ones because of you! ]

[My best friend is dead because of you! ]

[Pirate, you're asking me why I'm angry now?!]

【Wouldn’t I be angry?】

【Can’t I be angry?! 】

Shouldn't I be angry?

"Pirates!!!"

Clang——!
There was a flash of silver light, and with a sharp hiss, the spear was unsheathed along with Mien's roar.

The thin blade was like a sudden burst of dark blue lightning, cutting through the dull air and splitting the heavy light. It rushed forward with the rage of its owner and slashed towards La's slender neck.

At this moment, time seemed to be cut off by a sharp steel blade and fell into a brief stagnation.

The sword blade split the air, no, it should be said that the air, fearing the speed and sharpness of the blade, split into two ripples and fled to both sides in panic.

It was impossible to see the movement of the knife at all, this time the knife was faster than any other time he had swung it before.

At this moment, the style of swift swordsmanship was brought to a whole new height by his own efforts, and Mien undoubtedly crossed the threshold with this sword and stepped into the realm of a great swordsman.

Stupid!
Lightning flashes, stars fly at an astronomical speed!
The blade, so swift that it could easily cut through lightning, flew out of its sheath, and within a split second, a cold light flashed... but in the end, it stopped half an inch in front of the neck and could not advance any further.

The rising flames of anger were suddenly extinguished by the bone-chilling icy spring.

"You, you...how is it possible?!"

The great swordsman's trembling voice sounded in his ears, as if he had seen something absolutely unacceptable. In addition to panic, his words even carried a hint of fear and crying.

……

Two slender fingers went around the blade and pinched the spine from the opposite direction, stopping the knife that cut through time.

hum! ! !
The thin blade was still trembling slightly, like a cat with its neck strangled, struggling constantly, but unable to move forward even a millimeter.

With his excellent dynamic vision, La took in the entire process of the other person's facial expressions changing rapidly, but he could no longer hide his disappointment.

The golden flame spread from the fingertips and went all the way upwards. Wherever it passed, the cold and captivating blade seemed to disappear out of thin air, and even the molten iron did not flow away but directly vaporized.

"So the anger goes away...right?"

"Along with courage."

La spoke softly, her tone still gentle without any change.

"No, I..."

Hearing the other party's words, Mien subconsciously refuted and wanted to say something else, but paused for a moment.

As if seeing through the other party's subconscious attempt to make amends, and not really saying anything concrete, La continued:

“Anger may give you courage and strength for a while, but it is always false and short-lived.”

“When the emotions that serve as firewood are burned out, they can no longer sustain you and you may even burn those who walk with you in the process.”

“True courage should be like the sun, with one’s own beliefs as the core, constantly and steadily illuminating the path ahead.”

The flame stopped when it reached the hilt of the sword, and then went out out of thin air, leaving only an empty hilt in Mien's hand.

"do you know?"

“Even if two gemstones come from the same origin, are of the same type, and are the same size, if one has even a trace of impurities, the quality of the two will be completely different.”

"I once met a marine who looked just like you. You had the same color."

"But he is more 'pure' than you, and therefore more 'precious' and more 'brilliant'."

After saying that, La no longer looked at Mien who was in a daze beside him, and turned his gaze to Zhan Guo in front of him.

After all, this is an enemy that will take some time to deal with.

hum~
With a slight force of five fingers, the Buddha's impact, which had been suppressed tightly, shrank again, and a trace of golden color belonging to La gradually spread to it.

"This is--!"

Realizing something, Zhan Guo wanted to withdraw immediately, but it was too late.

Bang! ! !
With a gentle push of his palm, a golden shock wave immediately exploded in the opposite direction of Zhan Guo, blasting him away.

click!
The back of the man wearing the coat of justice hit the railing of the warship hard, smashing the thick iron-clad railing into pieces.

The aftermath of the impact sent several soldiers and officers who were originally standing behind Zhan Guo directly into the sky, and then fell powerlessly into the sea.

However, Zhan Guo himself, who was facing the impact head-on, continued to move forward without slowing down, crossing the sea like a cannonball, and only stopped when he crashed into another warship a hundred meters away.

Whoosh—bang!

"War, General Warring States!"

The warship was swaying violently due to the collision. The captain, who had finally managed to steady himself, immediately put his hands on the railing and looked down. After seeing the Warring States embedded under the port side, he immediately wanted to organize a rescue.

but……

"Don't worry about me, jump into the sea!"

"Ah... ah?"

Zhan Guo's order was too urgent and too strange, and the commodore captain was unable to react for a while.

Buzz - boom! ! !

La did not give the other party much time. The next second, an invisible impact came instantly and directly blasted the warship into pieces.

As expected, the ammunition depot exploded, and countless wood chips and iron pieces flew into the air along with the navy, like an unsightly fireworks display.

"asshole!"

Seeing this scene, Zhan Guo was filled with anger, but he was blown into the air and had no time to care about the situation of others.

After adjusting his body shape with several consecutive Moon Steps, he immediately looked at his flagship, which was where La was before.

But the golden figure was not seen.

"?!"

"where?"

"At this."

The voice came from behind Zhan Guo, and immediately made the battle-hardened naval admiral's hair stand on end.

I can’t see it, I can’t see it at all!
Whether it was with the naked eye or the ability to predict the future, no matter what method Zhan Guo used, he could not see La's movements at all.

All he could do was guess the possible direction and trajectory of the opponent's attack based solely on the damage caused by the opponent a few seconds later.

Boom!
Before Zhan Guo could turn around, the slender arm swung down mercilessly, and the general's strong and sturdy body was knocked away again.

Sizzle—sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Just like the scene when Ossi appeared, Zhan Guo, who was "flying" close to the sea surface, also stirred up waves tens of meters high on both sides of his body.

……

[Damn it, this can't go on!]
Snapped!
A golden light flashed in his palm. Having already flown hundreds of meters and about to fall into the sea, Zhan Guo suddenly slapped his body and released a shock wave. The seawater instantly splashed in all directions like an explosion...

Relying on this reverse thrust, Zhan Guo adjusted the angle in a panic and sent himself back to a safe height away from the sea.

“Hoo ...

The heavy breathing stopped abruptly, as if someone was strangling his throat.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath before the sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end came over him again, and Zhan Guo's body subconsciously tilted to the right.

Swish-!
The next moment, a wave like a slashing blow narrowly brushed past the sleeve of his coat of justice, and the sharp gust of wind made his heart skip a beat.

Wow~
"Ok?"

There was a familiar sound of water splashing beneath me...

The sound of seawater backflowing appeared in Zhan Guo's ears again, and he couldn't help but look down.

"!"

It was impossible to describe it in words—a long, narrow crack appeared on the sea surface beneath Zhan Guo's feet, extending all the way to the end of the horizon...

The sea beneath him was split directly in half!

……

"Guwu~"
The sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the air one after another, perhaps because of fear, perhaps because of shock, or perhaps because of... excitement.

In short, everyone who saw the scene just now subconsciously wanted to swallow something into their stomachs, thinking that it would give themselves a vague sense of security.

"La La La, Miss La..."

Taolong stuttered for a long time, but ultimately failed to utter a complete sentence. However, his hands were deeply embedded in the fence due to excessive force from his excitement.

powerful.

Powerful beyond imagination.

Unparalleled power. Overwhelming power.

From the beginning when the sun fell to now when he personally took the field, the strength displayed by La has far exceeded the limits that Taolong could have imagined.

So... can it be this powerful?
"horrible."

"Zhan Guo had almost no room to fight back and was constantly being suppressed and beaten."

Burfat folded his arms, looked at the battlefield below and commented:

"But the opponent is a great general after all. Even at such a disadvantage, he still hasn't lost his will to fight."

"It really can't be underestimated~"

"Hmph! It's just the futile struggle of a trapped beast."

Jin looked at Zhan Guo, who had recovered from his shock and rushed towards La again, and said in a cold tone.

"A trapped beast..."

……

boom! ! !
Zhan Guo's body was knocked away again. This time, he had no time to adjust his body and crashed into a warship again, directly smashing a huge hole in its deck.

Step~
Immediately afterwards, almost at the same time, La also landed on the fence of the warship and looked quietly at the dark hole.

Even though they were worried about the safety of their general, the officers and soldiers on the warship did not dare to move at all at this moment, and even forced themselves to breathe slowly and lightly.

No one wanted to attract the attention of the beautiful girl in front of them.

The depressing atmosphere lasted for a few breaths, and then...

"Ok?"

hum~~~
The golden Buddha light pierced through the darkness, shot out from the hole in the deck, and rushed straight into the sky.

"Do you still want to continue fighting?"

"You should know very well that you are no match for me."

La felt a little bored as he sensed the rising momentum of the Warring States below the deck.

She had no interest in fighting. In her opinion, this boring game of pouring one's own violence and energy on the opponent was not as meaningful as planting rice in the paddy field in her backyard.

During this time, she would rather sit in a chair and knit a sweater while waiting for the next inspiration.

Snapped!
A large golden hand grabbed the edge of the pit, and then Zhan Guo's figure jumped out from below.

He was covered in golden light and completed the transformation directly in the air. The dazzling Buddha light instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. The Buddha's body, several meters tall, stood in the air, looking sacred and majestic.

The mythical beast species of the Human-Human Fruit - the Great Buddha form was once again revealed to everyone.

"Warring States General!"

"The General needs to get serious! We still have hope!"

"Everyone, be ready to support General Zhan Guo at any time!"

Morale is a very strange thing. One second ago, they were on the verge of surrender and fleeing, but in the blink of an eye, they were pulled back because of an ordinary transformation of the animal system.

"Obviously, the situation hasn't changed at all."

He looked up at Zhan Guo who was also staring at him and murmured in a low voice.

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Big Buddha Impact!"

Without giving La a chance to counterattack, Zhan Guo stretched out his right palm as he fell from the sky, and a golden shock wave poured down directly.

Om-!
The Sanskrit sounds are clear and the Buddha's light is bright.

Before Zhan Guo gave the order to 'get out of the way', all the people on the warship fled to the stern or even directly into the sea. Now Zhan Guo had no worries and did not hesitate to use all his strength. The golden shock wave that almost condensed into substance instantly enveloped them.

[Success!]
buzz~
Violent vibrations came from all directions, and as Zhan Guo exerted further pressure, the spherical impact area seemed to explode inward.

“Buddha’s light saves the world!!!”

The rich golden light instantly filled the spherical impact of the Buddha, and then suddenly shrank to a diameter of several meters, and then the golden light inside began to burst out violently.

Zhan Guo's men seemed to be holding a sun, and the dazzling Buddha's light made everything on the battlefield seem to lose its color.

boom! ! !
……

"OK, successful?"

"General Zhan Guo defeated that scary golden imp?!"

"Finally, I can finally go back alive... woooo~"

The front half of the warship that had carried the Buddha's blow had completely disappeared, but the back half was intact.

Zhan Guo consciously concentrated all his power around La, so the warship at this time looked like half of it was erased by an eraser along an arc.

And La's figure also disappeared.

The naval soldiers and even officers who saw this scene felt like they had survived a disaster, and many of them even burst into tears without caring about anything else.

They were really afraid that they would be like those pirates, disappearing from this world without even being able to scream.

If that's the case, then my parents, my wife and children, my family...

The aftermath of the impact gradually subsided, and the sailors who jumped into the sea in advance finally got a chance to catch their breath.

"Sir, after I return this time, I...want to apply for retirement."

A soldier soaking in the sea said to the brigadier general beside him.

"Hmm? Retire? Haven't you been working hard to become a lieutenant general and want to revive the family?"

The brigadier general's words were clearly intended to retain him.

"..."

"That's true, but now I understand. I want to spend more time with my parents while they are still alive and while I am still alive."

"Really? That's a shame. You have good talent. In ten or twenty years, you could become a lieutenant general."

The brigadier general said regretfully.

"Sir, sir! What about me?"

A soldier who looked obviously more alert heard the conversation between the two and swam over like a doggy paddle.

"You~ I guess you'll be a soldier your whole life."

"Hey~ Why is it like this~"

"Why?"

"Because you almost ripped my pants off when the wave hit me just now!"

"Eh?! Pants, pants? Sir, I didn't mean to do that!"

"Sir? Sir?"

The Tiaotuo Navy called out twice, but the commander seemed to have suddenly become deaf and did not respond.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Hey~ you said..."

"That golden creature has clearly been destroyed, so why is the Beasts fleet still floating in the sky?"

"Shouldn't it fall down?"

"Hey~ That's simple. It means the other party doesn't have... at all..."

The voice of Tiaotuo Navy became smaller and smaller, his face became paler and paler, and his eyes were fixed on the back of the Commodore.

"What's wrong? That expression?"

"I was just teasing you. You could have been promoted to Sergeant Major with your merit points when you returned this time."

"Then you can change out of this uniform you always complain about being ugly and wear clothes you like."

According to the internal rules and regulations of the Navy, once a rank reaches sergeant, one is no longer required to wear a uniform and can wear whatever one wants. However, one must reach the rank of lieutenant to be eligible to wear the coat of justice.

"Haven't you always wanted my deerskin jacket? I'll give it to you as a gift for your promotion when you get back."

"Sir."

"Ok?"

"Even though you may not have the chance to give it to me, and I may not have the chance to wear it, thank you anyway."

"Thank you for taking care of me over the years."

"Thank you."

As if he was wasting time, the navy officer put away his usual frivolous tone and expressed his thanks several times in a row as quickly as possible, which surprised the brigadier general on the opposite side.

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

……

"Because when people face death, they often reveal their truest selves."

A voice of explanation came from behind him.
