“Yes, I gave his abilities to my pet,” Norton said without hiding anything.

"What? This dragon is your pet?" Marco was shocked.

"Yeah, what's so strange about it? You don't know, Brother Norton actually... ugh..." Ace almost let slip in his excitement, but luckily he raised his hand to cover his mouth in time.

Norton gave him a look that said, "You're smart enough to know your place," and then had Lin Lai open a portal, through which the group entered.

The final showdown on the last island has reached its climax.

To Norton's surprise, even after his physique had been enhanced, Mihawk showed signs of defeat.

“Did I miss something?” Norton frowned as he approached Karp.

"Nothing surprising, this bald old man is indeed very strong." Garp shook his head with a solemn expression.

"Looks like we need to make a change." Norton nodded, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we shouldn't be defeated so quickly," Whitebeard said, shaking his head.

It's clear that although Hawkeye Mihawk is showing signs of defeat, he's definitely not going to lose anytime soon.

Norton narrowed his eyes and fell silent, thinking of a little trick to help Mihawk.

However, he was also afraid that if he acted rashly, Hawkeye Mihawk would come after him and settle scores later.

So Norton could only move his feet and join the crowd, becoming a bystander.

He said to a member of the Thousand Illusions Legion, "Go, get everyone to shout it out, whether it's cursing the bald guy or cheering for Mihawk, shout it out!"

"Yes!"

The team member responded and immediately turned to inform the squad leader.

Before long, shouts and cheers began to rise from the surrounding area.

"Hey, you bald bastard, I think you'd better just surrender!"

"You've come this far, what are you still insisting on?"

"Die, you old bastard."

"Go, Hawkeye teacher!"

"Attack its lower body and cut off its third leg."

"Just cut him in two."

"You bald old bastard, you're nothing but trash, just die already!"

Suddenly, the shouts and cheers disrupted the bald old man's offensive rhythm, as did Mihawk's.

With just a glance at Norton, Hawkeye Mihawk guessed that this must have been his idea.

Hawkeye Mihawk had seen this kind of scene many times in the Kingdom of Oicot, so he was immune to it.

The initial surprise was simply because Hawkeye Mihawk hadn't expected Norton to use such tactics in this situation.

But then he realized that this was a national war, not a small skirmish, and all sorts of tactics could be used in a national war.

Whether you use underhanded tactics or overt strategies, as long as you ultimately achieve victory, it is the best approach.

As the number of people around him increased, the bald old man's expression grew increasingly grim.

"It seems I won't have a chance to leave here alive this time." The bald old man thought despairingly, his eyes flashing coldly, and he suddenly darted towards Norton's direction.

His thinking was simple: since they were already in a desperate situation, why bother with one-on-one fights?

The best course of action right now is to capture the leader first. If we can take down Norton, we'll have a chance to escape.

As for whether the other four old men are still alive, he can confirm their fate once he returns to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Hey, I wasn't even thinking of going up to help Hawkeye Mihawk, and you just came here to die. What a coincidence! We were thinking the same thing." Norton was overjoyed and took out his Xuanyuan Sword, intending to go up and slash him a couple of times.

Unexpectedly, before he could even go up, Yixiao and Colt blocked his way.

Seeing the two of them silently adopting a protective stance, Norton wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

I'm so tired.

He desperately wanted to shout, "Get out of the way, let me do it!"

Bonnie and Noki exchanged a glance, then stood to the side covering their mouths and snickering.

"Hey old man, your opponent is me!" Hawkeye Mihawk was a little angry when he saw the bald old man abandon him and rush towards Norton.

With a sudden swing of his black sword, Night, Hawkeye Mihawk charged forward.

The bald old man ignored him and, seeing that he couldn't capture the thief but had to capture the leader, suddenly swung his knife at Norton.

Swah——

A massive wave of energy appeared, hurtling towards Norton.

"boom--"

But the next second, the wave was suddenly blocked by something.

Noki smiled coldly at the bald old man: "I didn't have a chance to help in the previous battle, but if you can break through my defense now, I might as well not use my Devil Fruit ability."

What appeared before them was a transparent barrier wall.

The slashing wave hit the barrier gun, but it couldn't cause any damage to the barrier at all.

"How is that possible..." The bald old man was stunned.

Swah——

In that moment of hesitation, Mihawk's slash landed.

The bald old man's eyes flashed with a sense of perception, and he quickly turned around and swung his knife to block.

Unexpectedly, just as the bald old man gritted his teeth to block the slash, he suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, as if his Achilles tendon had been severed by something!

Ah! Hiss—

The bald old man gasped and staggered.

In a fleeting glance, I noticed a paper figure, about the size of a thumb, had fallen to the ground at my feet.

What the hell is going on?

The bald old man's eyes widened as he watched the paper figure swagger at him, its small hand stained with blood.

Without a doubt, that blood was his own...

Although Mihawk didn't know what had happened to the bald old man, he still understood the principle of taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them.

Swah——

With a flash, Mihawk suddenly appeared in front of the bald old man, slightly hunching over, his right hand gripping the knife diagonally to the lower left, and then suddenly slashing upwards to the right.

Chapter 296 This is the day we've been waiting for!

"Oh no... It's too late!" His pupils contracted sharply, and the bald old man hurriedly placed his knife in front of his chest to block.

when--

puff...

Although Black Blade Night successfully blocked the bald old man's blade, the blade's edge still struck him, leaving a long wound from his right hip to his left shoulder.

They even cut open his abdomen, exposing his intestines.

"Cough... Pfft..."

The bald old man clutched his stomach and staggered back a few steps, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Mihawk, then at the people around him, and smiled brightly.

“You lost.” Mihawk looked coldly at the bald old man.

“Yes…that’s right…I admit it…” The bald old man nodded and said, “I didn’t expect that we would fall so far behind your emerging power. It’s hard to imagine how you have developed over the years. And you…why have you suddenly become so strong…”

“There are many things you don’t know!” Norton stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of the bald old man, saying, “If you tell me before you die whether the Celestial Dragons and Lord Im are natives of this planet or alien pirates who have invaded, maybe I can let you die a little more easily.”

Upon hearing this, the bald old man's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes narrowed.

"When did you first learn about space pirates...?" After a moment of silence, the bald old man asked instead of answering.

"In the near future," Norton nodded in satisfaction, "I've received your answer: Celestial Dragons will die!"

"No, you misunderstood." The bald old man hurriedly shook his head: "Not all Celestial Dragons are space pirates. Some of them are given this identity in order to win over the forces of this planet."

"So what?" Norton shrugged. "No matter the outcome, aren't they all birds of a feather? One an invader, the other a traitor... Heh..."

As he spoke, Norton and the people around him all sneered.

The only ones who didn't laugh were Whitebeard's crew.

"King Norton, what were you just saying? An alien invasion?" Whitebeard couldn't help but walk over and ask.

“Ah… Uncle, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you.” Norton simply stepped forward, pointed to the sky, and said, “In reality, our ocean is nothing compared to the starry sky beyond! In the New World, the Four Emperors’ forces—you, Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks—are constantly seizing territory and expanding their domains, which I find utterly laughable!”

"You can try to go out and see the entire starry universe, and seize a larger and wider territory in the vast sea of ​​stars. Instead of being blinded by the World Government and only knowing how to fight for supremacy on this planet! Compared with the entire sea of ​​stars, our world is just a grain of sand in the ocean."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man's eyes lit up immediately: "The stars and the sea... is it really as you say?"

“Eileen, take Uncle Edward Newgate to see him.” Norton didn’t answer him, but wanted to show him the truth.

"Okay, brother." Eileen walked over and opened a door in front of everyone: "Everyone, please!"

Whitebeard and the others hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and going inside.

It was sunny when we went in.

Once inside, it immediately turned into a desolate and pale landscape.

That's right, the sunlight shining on the moon appears as a pale white light.

Suddenly finding themselves on the moon, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates was stunned.

"This...where is this..."

Whitebeard turned around in shock to look at Aquamarine.

Eileen walked over and introduced, "This is the moon, the moon we usually see at night."

He pointed to Aquamarine Star and said, "That aquamarine planet over there is our home!"
