Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

Yes, he had vaguely sensed that John was going to attack him.

After all, he was a cadre who had followed John for many years, so Bob naturally knew exactly what kind of person his captain was.

Once they cross the Red Earth Continent and reach the first half of the Grand Line, John will definitely take action against him.

The man would never allow someone to live who coveted his treasure and knew his whereabouts.

……

But in fact, he still underestimated his captain. John had no intention of letting him live that long and wanted to kill him here.

[If I had known earlier, I would have waited a few more seconds before teleporting.]

Babu regretted this in his heart more than once.

In fact, the moment this guy heard John's "escape plan", he decided to betray John and become the "jackal" himself.

After all, that is the "Rocks' Treasure" that all pirates dream of!

Even the most cautious person can become bold and daring under such great temptation.

When the explosive rock exploded, Bob did not teleport away with John immediately. Instead, he used John as a cover and deliberately waited for a few seconds. He only used his ability after seeing that John was indeed injured by the explosion.

[Your ability cannot be used continuously. There must be a certain interval between two teleportations.]

He told John this in person before the plan started so as not to arouse suspicion.

As for how long a period of time actually is, only he himself knows.

However, things went against his wishes. He underestimated John's strength. After escaping, he found that the other party's injuries were not as serious as he had imagined.

On the contrary, he was too excited at the time and exposed his desire for the treasure. Based on his understanding of John, the other party would definitely not let him go.

Originally, if Bob had joined forces with Fall at that time, he would still have a chance, but he didn't expect John to act before him.

Such decisiveness and ruthlessness made him feel that the other party was worthy of being a great pirate who had roamed the New World for many years, and at the same time, he became increasingly uneasy and anxious.

Now Babu can be said to be ready to move forward.

If he fails to launch a successful assassination while John's old injury has not yet healed, he will have no chance of survival once the other party fully recovers.

"And it's not just me. Once you get to Paradise, you'll be useless. He'll get rid of you too."

"You are not so naive as to think that he will let you go."

Seeing the pirates on the opposite side had different expressions, Babu continued to put pressure on them.

"This is your last and only chance. Cooperate with me and we'll strike first."

"..."

"You guys don't want the murderer who killed Forle to escape, do you?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene froze.

Then everyone looked at Wright, who remained silent.

"Wright"

"Brother Wright"

First Mate

……

Listening to his companions' cries, Wright's expression became more and more struggling.

On the contrary, the smile on Babu's face grew deeper and deeper, because he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Whoo~"

After this suffocating silence, Wright finally spoke.

"What's your plan?"

"Snapped!"

Babu clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"It's very simple. Just make some minor changes to your original plan."

"Use the news about the 'Golden Country' to distract John, and then suddenly attack him from the front."

"And I teleported behind him and dealt him a fatal blow."

A simple yet extremely vicious plan.

Wright reacted almost immediately.

"You want us to be bait for you?!"

"Don't say it so harshly~"

"With your strength, even if you succeed in a sneak attack, you won't be able to hurt John. Why don't you give me this chance to kill him with one strike?"

"Aren't you already prepared to die anyway~"

That's right, this is the most sinister part of Babu's plan. He wants Wright and others to use their lives to create an opportunity for him.

First use the news of the "Golden Country" to attract John, and then let Wright and others launch a suicide assassination.

He was a step slower and waited until John's attention was completely distracted by them for the second time before he took action and delivered the fatal blow.

I have to say, Babu really likes this kind of "the oriole is behind" drama.

Chapter 95 Divine Strike

"how?"

"With two consecutive attacks like this, one real and one fake, even John wouldn't be able to react."

Babu said, extending a hand to Light.

Wright stared at the hand but did not shake it. Instead, he asked one last question.

"If this succeeds, will you spare the rest of my companions?"

"Yeah~ Of course! I promise~"

"But you must tell me everything about the Golden Country right now."

Bob, who was as greedy as John, naturally would not miss this huge windfall.

As for whether Wright’s companions will be let go?

Unfortunately, the secret of the "Golden Country" does not need to be known by anyone else...

"Ok."

Wright sighed, and although he knew that Babu's promise was not credible, he still shook the hand.

The other party was right. This was their last chance to avenge Forle, and he had no choice.

And even if I give up this opportunity, my companions behind me will not give up.

"Well, happy cooperation~"

Babu waved goodbye to everyone with a happy laugh.

……

On the small boat ten nautical miles away, La saw the whole scene.

After John got off the boat and arrived on the island, La turned his attention to Wright and others, wanting to see what this group of people were planning to do.

If possible, she wanted to save Wright, as she was interested in his literary research.

However, compared to a powerful veteran pirate like John, Light and his companions didn't feel La's gaze at all.

Relying on the powerful senses of the divine body, La knew all of Light and Babu's conspiracy.

[Let's get rid of this Babu as well.]

In order to deal with this unstable factor, La added another plan to his mind.

But just as the three parties were preparing to act according to their respective plans, Skepgate and others who had been staying on the ship could no longer bear it.

When everyone saw that La just told them to stay on the boat and not move and there was no further news, a few anxious pirates began to dismantle the wooden barrels and tie them to the oars, preparing to row the boat to the island.

Skepgate behind him reached out to take the Eternal Pointer from La's handle, but La dodged it by simply raising his hand slightly.

After missing the target, Skepgate said helplessly:

"Miss La, since you don't want to go to the island, just give us the pointer and we will swim to the island ourselves."

"We can't dawdle any longer. John and the others might be on the island any minute."

"Yes, Miss La, you just need to stay on the boat or go back directly. We will go to the island by ourselves." The team leader also agreed.

"John and your companions are already on the island. It's too late for you to go there now."

"And I said, leave John's affairs to me. You just need to wait here peacefully."

La finally spoke again, but in a reassuring voice he stated the fact that made everyone's faces change drastically.

"Also, stop destroying the barrels on the ship. They are the property of the Beasts."

La added another sentence, but the people on the boat had no time to listen to it at the moment and were in chaos.

Several pirates even jumped into the sea and swam towards the direction of Gret Island, which they remembered.

"Wright and the others have already landed on the island?! How is that possible!"

"We clearly didn't see any ships. Could it be that they took advantage of the fog to hide from us?"

"Miss La, how did you know that? You're not lying to us, are you?"

"We must get to the island immediately to support Wright and the others. Just swim over!"

……

"Oh! Miss La, you..."

Skepgate was also confused at the moment, not knowing what to do, and was anxiously walking around on the boat.

However, La did not care about the reactions of the crowd. He just turned his head and focused his attention on Wright and others through the thick fog.

At this time, Wright had returned to the shore and walked towards John, who seemed to be looking at the scenery.

The others also followed Wright with supplies, but Babu was missing.

Of course, in La's vision, he could clearly see that the guy was hiding far away in the blind spot of John's vision.

"Oh? Are you back?"

Seeing the group of people walking towards him, John didn't react much. He just waved his hand and asked them to move the supplies onto the boat.

"Wait until that guy Babu comes back and then sail away."

After giving the order, John was about to return to the boat, but at this moment, Wright stopped him and said loudly:

"Captain John! I hope you can spare our lives!"

"Hehe~ Have you noticed it? Or did that guy Babu tell you?"

John didn't care at all that his ungrateful behavior was known to the other party. He just stopped and looked at Wright and others with a joking look.

"Well~ it doesn't matter."

"You said you wanted me to let you go, so why?"

"What can you give in exchange for your lives?"

John walked towards Wright as he spoke, until the distance between them was shortened to a dangerous level.

"Goooo~"

Facing John so close, the undisguised murderous intent made Wright swallow nervously, but he still managed to speak:

"I, I have a clue about the 'Golden Country'!"

Sure enough, when John heard the words "Golden Country", his pupils shrank.

He suddenly grabbed Wright's shoulders with both hands and asked almost instinctively: "Where is it? Where is the 'Golden Country'?"

Facing John, who was like a greedy beast, Wright took out the logbook tremblingly.
