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

Chapter 97 Reunion Part 2

"Pah~Pah——"

"Hello, is this Light? What's wrong with you guys?!" As soon as the Den Den Mushi called, the other party answered almost instantly.

"We are fine, where are you guys now, Brother Skepgate?"

"Well, it's okay."

"We are already on Greet Island. Have you taken action?"

"Ah?! You are already on the island? So fast!" Wright was a little surprised.

"That's right. Somehow we had a tailwind all the way and arrived here without stopping."

Thinking back on the voyage over the past few days, Skepgate couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it had gone so smoothly.

"How's that fellow John?"

"Um... John, he..." Wright didn't know how to answer.

"What happened to John?!"

"He disappeared suddenly. We don't know whether he is dead or alive."

"Disappeared?!"

Skygate was also very surprised to hear this answer, and looked at La in front of him with some surprise.

La noticed the other party's puzzled look, and without turning back, he said directly:

"If nothing unexpected happens, his body should have disintegrated and dissipated. Some of my energy should still be left. To the naked eye, there will be many bright spots."

Before Skipgate could speak, Light's excited voice came from the Den Den Mushi:

"Yes, that's right! There are many spots of light!"

"Brother Skepgate, who is that next to you? How did she know?"

"Um... She's from the Beasts Pirates, and I asked her to help. Let's not talk about that anymore. Where are you now? I'll go find you."

"We are on the north side of the island. You can see our ship from a high place. We are right there with the ship."

Wright looked around and finally chose Fowle's tall flagship as a landmark.

[north……]

After hearing this answer, Skygate checked the direction Duila was taking them and found that they were indeed heading north.

"I understand. Stay still there. We'll meet up with you right away."

After saying that, Skygate hung up the Den Den Mushi and took a few steps forward to stand next to Ra.

He squatted down, tilted his head, and asked quietly:

"Miss La, did you really kill that guy John?"

His stealthy action attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, they were the two people walking in front, and the people behind them could see their every move clearly.

"I have no need to tell such meaningless lies, Mr. Scapgate."

"How did you do this?"

"A sneak attack, when he wasn't paying attention."

"..."

In fact, La had no intention of fighting John head-on from the beginning. On the one hand, he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and attract the attention of other forces. On the other hand, he was not sure that he could keep him.

After all, Kaido himself admitted that John's strength is not inferior to his.

Although the opponent was injured, La might have the upper hand if a fight really broke out, but who knew if John had any unknown tricks up his sleeve?

Therefore, Ira's character decisively chose non-positive means.

After all, she is not like some people who have a special mental obsession with fighting and insist on deciding the outcome in a fair and straightforward manner.

To her, fighting was just as common as eating and drinking. She couldn't feel honored for drinking from a blue cup and ashamed for drinking from a yellow cup.

Later, through Den Den Mushi, Light and his team's original plan came to Ra's knowledge, and a general plan gradually formed in Ra's mind - that is, to use Light and his people as bait and launch a sneak attack when John was distracted.

Yes, almost exactly the same as Bob’s plan!

The only difference is that Babu not only wants to use Wright and others as bait, but also intends to sacrifice them as cannon fodder.

But La had no intention of letting the bait be swallowed. She chose to get rid of John while saving the lives of Wright and others.

So during the rest of the journey, La used his divine power to influence the weather so that the ship could maintain a high speed.

On the other hand, he began to develop a move that could kill with one blow, which is called "divine strike".

This is the first time that La, who has no great interest in combat itself, has independently developed a move.

Osi and Obe had tried it before, but their control over the divine power was still too weak. Although the moves they performed looked fancy, their actual power was not as strong as that of ordinary divine power.

For La, who can use divine power to weave clothes with a silk texture, developing moves that suit her wishes is a piece of cake.

After an hour of rough creation and half a day of polishing, the "Divine Strike" was born, which only targets living organisms. It injects a self-destruction equation composed of huge amounts of energy into the target's body in an instant, causing it to decompose on its own.

This move is not only terrifyingly destructive, but also has great stealth capabilities.

Not only does it not cause any fluctuations in real space when it's charged and fired, it's also practically invisible to the naked eye, and its speed is even comparable to the speed of light...

It can be called a true "blow from another dimension".

The terrifying power coupled with incredible speed and stealth, under normal circumstances, this move is almost a one-hit kill.

The only way is to predict the future and detect the attack in advance, and then use your own domineering energy to offset it or directly avoid it.

But unfortunately, La will not give John this opportunity.

To predict the future, one must first concentrate highly. The news of the "Golden Country" and the two consecutive attacks are enough to create a flaw for La, not to mention that La's observation Haki is actually better than John's.

God's eyes can see farther into the future than humans can.

After confirming that John and the others had arrived near the island, La first created a thick fog to block their vision, while staying at a safe enough distance to prevent their domineering detection. Then he monitored their every move through energy vision.

La knew that John might be aware of his gaze, but this was also a way to put pressure on the other party. The greater the mental pressure, the more likely the other party would make the wrong choice and reveal a flaw.

During the surveillance, after accidentally learning of Bob's plan, La decisively modified the plan and used the other party as the second bait to further distract John's attention.

But this time she had no intention of retrieving the bait.

The right time, the right place, and the right people, La, who took all of these into consideration and utilized them to the extreme, naturally completed her first kill in this world.

"Here we are."

After walking out of a dense forest, La stopped.

Skygate and the others moved away the branches that blocked their view, and finally saw the flagship of the Forle Pirates that they had been longing for in a hidden bay, as well as familiar faces sitting in a circle under the ship, some laughing and some crying.

Seeing that although some of those people were injured, none of them were missing, the man with the afro could no longer hold back and shouted loudly:

"You bastards! You worried me to death! I'm going to beat you to death this time!"

Chapter 98 Talent

"Woooooooo!"

Following Skepgate's loud roar, the pirates on the shore were stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards him.

And Skepgate and his party immediately went to meet them.

Dozens of big men on both sides huddled together in groups of three or four and began to cry loudly.

The oppressive feeling of playing along with the enemy for days, the relief of having decided to risk everything and die together, the sudden sense of bewilderment at having survived...

All kinds of complicated emotions burst out at once when they saw their companions whom they had not seen for many days and thought they would never see again, making these burly men unable to suppress their emotions any longer.

"Rye, Mr. Wright, I'm so glad you're still alive."

The team leader, who had always behaved calmly, hugged Wright tightly and spoke with tears in his eyes.

"Haha. Don't cry, Dante. I'm fine."

Wright patted the other person on the back to comfort this person who was half his student.

"But what you said on Den Den Mushi before... I thought, I thought I would never see you again."

"Okay, okay, I won't die that easily."

"By the way, is the calligraphy copybook I gave you still there? Are you still practicing every day?"

"Forehead……"

Wright clearly felt that the other person's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, which gave him a bad feeling.

As expected, the team leader, Dante, let go of his hand, wiped the tears from his face and said awkwardly:

"Then, that calligraphy copybook is gone. The third brother suddenly had to go to the bathroom, and when I wasn't paying attention, he just..."

"What happened?" Wright's eyes became dangerous.

"Just use it...use it."

"used?!"

"Do you know how valuable that calligraphy is? It's an antique!"

"I finally had someone buy it on the black market, it cost me hundreds of thousands of Baileys! And now you're letting someone use it to clean their ass!!"

Wright became more and more excited as he spoke, and was about to raise his fist.

"I was wrong, I was so wrong!"

"Mr. Wright, don't hit me in the face..."

"Little bastard! Don't run!"

"I was wrong~~~"

……

Not to mention the joyful reunion of teachers and students, Skepgate was also surrounded by people at this moment.

"Quack! Brother Gate!"

A man hugged Skepgate's trouser legs and started crying loudly. It was the impulsive pirate from before.

"Alright, Perls. You're an old man on the ship after all, aren't you ashamed..."

Skygate patted the other person's shoulder to comfort him, but this warm scene did not last long. The next moment...

"Hey! Stop wiping your snot on me! I spent 20,000 Baileys on these pants! And you guys too..."

Ignoring Skepgate's disdain, the pirates all clung to him tightly and refused to let go, especially one pirate who was taller than him, rubbing his head against his afro.

"Brother Ga...Gate, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Yeah, I was thinking it was a shame I didn't get to pinch your Afro one more time before I died."

"Pinch~Pinch~"

……

"enough!"

Feeling the strange sensation coming from his head, Skepgate could no longer bear it and pulled the pirates off his body one by one.

The tall pirate was kicked on the butt by him and rolled several meters away.

Skepgate fixed his hair and then noticed La standing beside him. He said awkwardly:

"Haha~ They are all a bunch of unruly guys. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Miss La."

"will not."

La shook her head slightly.

"You're all a very lively bunch. I imagine your previous pirate group must have been quite lively as well, right?"

"Yeah~"
