I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 130 Bitter Battle, Bug-Level Devil Fruit Ability!
Lipriy was not surprised by the appearance of the Knights of God.

After all, Monger had said so before the operation.

This operation may involve powerful enemies from the Celestial Dragons.

It's neither the Navy nor CP0.

Rather, it is the foundation of the World Government, the ace team in the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

The Knights of God.

It is said that each of them possesses at least the strength of a great pirate, along with formidable Devil Fruit abilities and immortality.

The reason this operation was carried out in pairs was because...

That's because, in a one-on-one situation, it's very difficult for members of the White Wolf Clan to defeat a member of the God Knights.

Monger even demanded.

If you encounter an equal number of members of the Knights of God, your primary objective should be to escape.

but now.

"Only one?"

Seeing that there was only one member of the Knights of God standing in front of her, Lipriy breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when she saw the devastation around her, she couldn't help but frown.

at this time.

Large numbers of slaves were wailing.

After the member of the Knights of God used some kind of Devil Fruit power to cut off the shadows of these slaves, half of the slaves' bodies vanished and melted away like bubbles.

On the other side, a considerable number of slaves' bodies were melting away.

Crane's mind went blank.

For a former naval recruit, such a scene was incredibly exciting. Even during undercover training, the instructors responsible for teaching cranes had tried their best to broaden the cranes' knowledge.

But there are many things I won't tell her.

After all, she's just a newcomer, and a newcomer should act like a newcomer.

"it hurts!"

"My hand, my hand is gone!"

"mom!"

"."

Cries and screams filled the air. The reason why Tsuru became a naval officer was to protect ordinary people, which is the reason why almost everyone becomes a naval officer.

This ideal may gradually be eroded by reality.

But at least for now.

The crane did not forget its ideals.

Slaves are also human beings.

They are also the people she wants to protect!

Tsuru didn't understand why the navy, which was supposed to protect others, wasn't protecting these slaves, but instead it was the White Wolf Pirates doing these things.

She will not compromise.

Even if she joins the White Wolf Pirates in the future, she will never forget her ideals.

The crane's brain began to think.

She was also one of those whose shadows were cut off by the members of the Knights of God, but she was lucky. Unlike the other half of the slaves, she didn't disappear directly, nor did she suffer the same fate as some of the slaves, whose hands or legs were either burned as if by fire.

why?
"It's sunshine!"

After regaining consciousness, it only took Crane a few seconds to realize the truth.

"Everyone, quickly get into the shade and don't expose yourselves to the sunlight!"

As the crane ran deeper into the roots of the Yarchiman mangrove, it cried out, "After our shadows disappear, we can't be exposed to sunlight. If we're exposed to sunlight, we'll disappear!"

The crane's cry caught Pedro Saint's attention.

"Oh, you realized it so quickly?"

Pedro Saint is a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. Anyone whose shadow he cuts off will disappear as long as they are exposed to sunlight.

This is not something that is difficult to guess.

But less than half a minute had passed since he cut off the shadows of the slaves when Crane realized what had happened and alerted the others.

This shows that cranes are not only calm, but also have a clever mind.

"Haha, it seems I'm in luck this time. All the collectibles I've set my sights on are stunning beauties. Now I'm starting to regret my age."

Wearing a black knight's outfit and sporting a white beard, Pedro Saint laughed heartily.

But what awaited him was a huge rock.

"You're a member of the Knights of God, aren't you? Quickly return their shadows!"

Pedro Saint's shadow seemed to have a life of its own, directly splitting the boulder, which had suddenly grown to tens of meters in size, in two.

"That won't work."

Pedro Saint shook his head.

"These slaves who betrayed their masters, I only took away their shadows, which is already very merciful. How could slaves betray their masters and run away?"

"Then I'll defeat you!"

Lipri was not lacking in combat wisdom; upon realizing that Pedro Saint could cut off other people's shadows, she immediately shrunk her body.

A giant's shadow is too large, making him an easy target.

Lipriy was unsure if her domineering aura could withstand the silhouette of Pedro Saint.

But only when absolutely necessary.

She didn't want to try.

As Monger said, while Haki can counter Devil Fruit abilities, the prerequisite is that Haki is strong enough. A sufficiently strong Devil Fruit ability can also ignore the defensive effects of Haki.

"Lingling!"

"oh oh!"

Lingling also shrank in size.

Although the Knights of God are very strong, she and Linlin both have the strength of great pirates, so they may not necessarily lose!
Lipley and Linlin launched a surprise attack from the left and right.

"It can actually change its size? Even its shadow has shrunk."

Pedro remained calm in the face of Lipri and Lingling's sudden attack.

"Fighting is not something a gentleman should do."

"Before you become part of my collection, let me show you my collection first!"

"Come forth, my Shadow Legion!"

Two enormous shadows flashed past Pedro Saint's body in an instant, one rushing towards Lipriy and the other towards Lingling.
When Lip saw one of the figures, her expression immediately changed.

"Uncle Galon!?"

Appearing before Lip was a giant over forty meters tall with two sharp horns on his head. He was once the giant of Elbaf and also the vice-captain of Harald's guard.

In the battle of Elbaf, this Titan perished alongside an elite Marine Vice Admiral, and many Titans witnessed his death under the combined attack of the Marines and the CP organization.

But now, the dead man has risen again and appeared before her.

"Haha, thank me! These filthy giant corpses shouldn't be in the Holy Land, but I took pity on them and made them my guards. As a member of the Knights of God, I have that much power."

Pedro Saint laughed heartily, seemingly oblivious to Lipriy's unpleasant expression.

Meanwhile, on Lingling's side...

She was facing a giant saber-toothed tiger, no smaller than the giant Galon.

This is Pedro Saint's power.

He can insert the shadow he cuts into the body of a dead person, and then control the dead person to fight. At the same time, the dead person will inherit the shadow master's fighting skills.

Among the Celestial Dragons' slaves, there are countless powerful slaves.

Pedro Saint even had the Navy escort a group of Impel Down pirates to cut off the shadows of these once powerful pirates.

Then stuff it into the powerful corpse.

Therefore, although he was only one person, he was an entire army by himself!
Lipley and Lingling want to get closer to Pedro Saint.

But then Galon and the saber-toothed tiger appeared, followed by several more enormous corpses that surrounded Lipley and Linlin.

These corpses all possessed at least the strength of a great pirate in life, and with the added influence of powerful figures, their combat prowess was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary great pirate. At this moment, Lipriy finally understood.

Why would Munger say that the enemies of the Knights of God would be difficult to deal with?

This isn't just difficult to deal with!
"If the captain doesn't come to our rescue, I feel like we're doomed!"

Lipley looked at the zombie army that had already taken over half the island, and saw that there were powerful zombies among them with the strength of great pirates.

Lipriy said blankly.

On the other side, Rocks and Newgate also encountered their opponents.

"Lox, the son of the ominous sign?"

A green-haired member of the Order of the Gods appeared before Rocks and Newgate, glanced at the trembling slaves on the Millennium Falcon, and loudly proclaimed in an exaggerated voice, "Do you know you're stealing? What's the difference between robbing someone's slaves and robbing their property? Do you know how much it costs to buy these slaves? This money is all hard-earned by ordinary people!"

"However, you are inherently filthy pirates, so we cannot hold you to human standards."

"So, die!"

The moment the voice of this member of the Knights of God fell, both Rocks and Newgate felt an impulse.

Suicidal impulses!
"What!?"

Lox and Newgate's forehead veins bulged, but they were powerless to stop themselves from raising their hands, gripping the knives, and preparing to stab themselves.

Devil Fruit power, absolutely Devil Fruit power!
Rocks shouted in his mind.

However, he had no idea when he contracted the virus.

Facing the power of Devil Fruits.

Being infected and not being infected are two different things.

Before being hit, one only needs to use sufficient Haki to defend against the fruit's effects to become immune to its effects. However, after being hit, one would need at least the strength of an Admiral to remove the fruit's power.

But neither he nor Newgate has reached that level.

Even with great effort, we managed to hold on.

Both Rocks and Newgate had to watch as the knife in their hands drew ever closer to their necks.

"stop it!!!"

Lockes screamed inwardly, "How can I fall down like this without even defeating Monger?"

at this time.

"Fishman Karate, Water Slash!"

A large number of water spheres suddenly appeared and shot towards the green-haired member of the Knights of God like cannonballs, forcing him to retreat.

One of the water balloons hit the member of the Knights of God, causing him to stiffen.

Suddenly, Rocks and Newgate found that their ability to resist had become stronger.

"when!"

The daggers in Lox and Newgate's hands were thrown away by them.

I saw the bloodstains on the other person's neck.

Both Lox and Newgate showed signs of lingering fear.

Almost.

They were almost forced to commit suicide!
"How annoying! Can't you criminals just listen to me? I am a noble Celestial Dragon, and you should obey my words!"

"This is my judgment upon you as God!"

"Go away!"

As the sound faded, all the water spheres that were flying towards Kurt Saint exploded.

He is a user of the Command Fruit.

As long as they hear his instructions, both people and objects will obey them.

That's why Rocks and Newgate were about to commit suicide.

It was because they both heard Kurt Saint's "suicide order".

It wasn't just Lox and Newgate who heard the suicide order; many slaves hiding on the Millennium Falcon also heard Kurt Saint's voice.

In an instant, the deck of the Millennium Falcon was stained with blood.

Their operation rescued thousands of slaves.

Kurt Saint killed hundreds of people with just one sentence.

"Lox, Newgate, be careful! This enemy's abilities are probably related to sound!"

Dean was working on coating the ship when he saw that Rocks and Newgate were controlled by the enemy's abilities and were even trying to commit suicide, so he took immediate action.

He didn't know what Kurt Saint's abilities were.

But he knew that all Devil Fruit users were afraid of seawater.

And beneath his feet lay the sea!

Dean discovered that those who committed suicide on the Millennium Falcon were all relatively powerful slaves, and these slaves generally had more acute hearing.

Some slaves resisted the urge to commit suicide.

Some, however, did not.

Dean also heard Kurt Saint's voice, but it was very faint.

Therefore, he easily controlled the impulse.

This confirms the conclusion.

The strength of Kurt Saint's abilities should be related to the loudness of the sound he hears; the clearer the sound, the stronger the effect of his abilities.

"What a tricky ability!"

Unlike Dean's somber mood, for Rocks and Newgate, the most frustrating thing was not knowing how to defend against the enemy's abilities.

Now that we know it's related to sound.

"Newgate, plug your ears!"

"it is good!"

Rocks and Newgate simultaneously tore off two pieces of cloth and stuffed them into their ears.

Meanwhile, Dean was also launching a long-range attack.

Buy them time.

"Sigh, why can't you just obey my orders and die?"

Kurt looked helpless.

"Commit suicide!"

The sound rang out again, but this time, thanks to Dean's reminder, Rocks and Newgate only heard a faint sound.

So the body was controlled for a moment.

But Rocks and Newgate quickly regained control of the body.

however.

"careful!"

However, Dean's voice did not reach the ears of Rocks and Newgate at all.

As they regained control of their bodies.

Kurt Saint appeared before them, slamming his iron rod down on the two men, sending them flying.

"Did you think that plugging your ears would solve the problem?"

Kurt Saint looked at Lox and Newgate with a look of pity on his face.

How can mortals be enemies of gods?

At this moment, Rocks and Newgate realized how disgusting Kurt Saint's ability was; even if you plugged your ears, as long as you heard the slightest sound, he could control you for a moment.

Kurt Saint is clearly not a pure Devil Fruit user.

His physical skills are also quite impressive.

No more was needed; just two members of the God's Knights were enough to put the White Wolf Pirates in danger.

But the real battle.

It also broke out in another place!
