Chapter 30 Garp: This is a good thing!
…Visual Den Den Mushi Activation/Projection…
"Let's begin round two, Shiki!"
The ground beneath Bazel's feet seemed to come alive, churning and twisting.
Suddenly!
Six pairs of golden eyes suddenly opened on the surface of the soil!
The giant lightning serpent dancing in the sky was the same, except that it only had four pairs of deep purple eyes.
"Thunder!"
As Bazel waved his right hand, Razer unleashed countless bolts of lightning to attack Shiki.
"earthquake!"
The ground rumbled and countless cracks shot towards the enemy.
"This is really troublesome. Why is your Devil Fruit power the same as Linlin's!?"
Lingling?
Soul-Soul Fruit?
It would have been better if Shiki hadn't reminded him; his reminder actually made Bazel realize what was going on.
Yup!
Isn't the Spirit Serpent Head just a serpent head that controls souls?
The Phantom Serpent Spirit is a spirit creature, and while it's not exactly the same as the old lady's moves, it's at least 9% similar.
The only difference is that Big Mom needs to use her lifespan to summon the Homies.
His transformation into the Phantom Serpent Spirit required him to be resurrected by the Poison of Naraku.
"Who knows? The ocean is so vast, it wouldn't be surprising if it had similar abilities, would it?"
Like an elegant conductor, Bazel increased the frequency of his hand movements, unleashing a barrage of elemental attacks upon the enemy.
"swamp!"
Shiki's dodging steps suddenly stopped, and in just a few breaths, the softened ground had already swallowed up to his knees.
"Die, Shiki!!!"
Seeing that the enemy was under his control, Bazel's eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement.
If we're being honest about his strength, he absolutely cannot beat Shiki in his current form.
However, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming onslaught of the Earth Dragon and the Thunder Serpent.
In addition to his precise control, it was difficult for Shiki to get close.
Even if he accidentally lets his opponent get close, Bazel can use his excellent speed to temporarily hold his own.
Under Bazell's control.
The earth dragon leaped out of the ground like a blue whale in the ocean, its enormous body covering half a block.
But caught up in his excitement, he didn't notice that just as the Earth Cage was about to trap Shiki, a team of Celestial Dragons under heavy protection from special agents walked out of an auction house.
Looking at the "cage" that has been built.
Bazel transformed into the Yamata no Orochi and spewed poisonous mist toward the only entrance!
"Razer!"
Seemingly worried that he couldn't kill Shiki, Bazel controlled the lightning bolts hovering in the sky to fly in and self-destruct.
Rumble--!!
Most of the block on the 13th was completely overturned, and violent thunder filled the ruins.
Whether it was the storefronts or the branches of trees, everything was reduced to ruins by the shockwaves of the explosion.
As the combined attack was completed, Bazel, panting heavily, withdrew the snake spirit that had been draining his stamina.
"Slash Wave!"
A massive golden flying slash suddenly tore through the ruins and shot out.
Whoosh---!
While Bazel was hurriedly dodging, the wounded Shiki rushed in front of him with a ferocious smile.
"Not bad, but not enough, kid!"
He gripped the knife in his right hand and thrust it upwards, then squatted down, leaping once more to face the airborne Bazel.
He spun around several times and then kicked Bazel hard in the chest.
"I'm a pirate who came from the Rocks era. This little attack isn't even good enough to tickle me."
"Hehehehehe!!!"
...The screening has ended...
The projection of the video Den Den Mushi ended amidst Shiki's maniacal laughter.
"So it seems that the Celestial Dragons did indeed get caught up in the battle, and this has been confirmed."
The crane crossed its arms and sighed repeatedly.
"It's a fact that Bazel killed a Celestial Dragon, even if it was an accident, it doesn't matter, we can't explain it."
"And the Five Elders and the World Government won't listen to our explanations."
"Especially since Bazel's identity needs to be kept secret, things are getting complicated, Sengoku."
The Warring States period scholar looked solemn and remained silent in deep thought.
Indeed, as He said, this incident has become difficult to resolve.
If it was just an injury to a Celestial Dragon, the Navy could ignore it and wait for Bazel to return with his achievements.
Becoming the second Marine hero after Garp, the Five Elders probably won't say anything.
Just like Garp said, he's just a Celestial Dragon.
But the problem is...
That Celestial Dragon died, and his death was extremely gruesome.
He was buried alive, poisoned, and finally his body was blasted apart by lightning.
This put the World Government, which has always touted the Celestial Dragons as descendants of an immortal creator, in a completely awkward position.
Not to mention Bazel's identity and his undercover mission.
The initial concern was that if the World Government knew Bazel's true identity, it would use its superior status to cause trouble.
Zhan Guocai did not report this matter.
But he never expected this mess to happen.
"That Celestial Dragon is really something. He clearly knew there was a fight, so why didn't he go to take refuge instead of going over to watch the show?"
Zhan Guo couldn't help but complain, "Now things are really messed up for everyone."
"The Warring States period is over."
Empty, he put down the report, his expression calm:
"This matter is not as complicated as you think. Our navy only needs to report the facts."
"The World Government will force the World Economic Forum to change the news; all we need to do is submit the application to increase Bazel's bounty."
"Don't even try to explain it to them. Don't you know what kind of people the Celestial Dragons are?"
Crunch~
Karp chewed on a senbei:
"That's right, Sengoku, you're overthinking things. Kaido won't let the World Government capture Bazel so easily."
"This concerns the reputation of a great pirate. If Bazel is captured easily, the Beast Pirates can forget about expanding in the future."
"If you look at it from another angle, this might actually be a good thing."
good thing?
Sengoku glanced at Garp, asking suspiciously, "What could you possibly come up with?"
Inside the room, Tsuru, Borsalino, and Sora all looked at Garp with curiosity.
"Isn't this simple?"
Garp looked at Sengoku with a disappointed expression.
"You call yourself a strategist? Have you used all your brainpower to build muscle?!"
Warring States Period: ...
Of all the people present, you are the least qualified to say that...
"Tell me or not, if you don't tell me, I won't listen anymore."
"Fine, I'll tell you then!"
Garp raised his head arrogantly: "Aren't the Celestial Dragons dead?"
The three nodded.
"Isn't this a good thing? Another piece of trash that's been plaguing the ocean is dead! Our navy should be celebrating with drums and gongs!!"
Silence reigned.
Bang--!!
The wall was smashed by Garp, leaving a human-shaped hole.
Kong withdrew his fist, his face expressionless, and said:
"Sengoku, have someone come over and fix the wall later. Tsuru, go and brainwash Garp; that idiot's brain must be full of water."
"That's all for Bazel. As for his bounty..."
"Tsuru, draft a report. The content should be something like, 'Lord Orochi's crimes are heinous, but considering the serious impact, we recommend increasing his bounty to 740 million Berries.'"
He stood up: "I understand. I'll bring the report to you for review once it's ready."
……
Meanwhile, in the Devil's Triangle area---
The drifting black fog obscures the sun, bringing a night that never ends.
A cold wind stirred, and a mournful howl echoed through the mist.
Jin stared at the record pointer in his hand, his lips twitching.
"Mr. Kaido, did you forget to bring your brain back then? The magnetic field in the Devil's Triangle is too chaotic, making it difficult to use the Log Pose properly here."
"So this permanent record pointer... is no different from junk."
Kaido remained expressionless, but the veins on his right hand, gripping his spiked club, bulged.
"That John guy..."
He said he felt something was wrong when he made the transaction, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
It wasn't until he and his companions entered the Devil's Triangle that he took out the logging pointer and, under the stares of everyone who looked at him like he was a monkey, he suddenly realized what had happened.
The Devil's Triangle is called the Devil's Triangle because the black fog that shrouds this area interferes with the magnetic field between the islands.
What's peculiar is that this fog is not permanently fixed over a particular area of the sea.
It also moves with the winds around the world.
Unlike ordinary fog, the black fog here is like a whole, and even if it is blown away by strong winds, it will not be dispersed.
This is precisely why, once people learned of the existence of this sea area, those missing ships were unable to avoid it.
No matter how fast an ordinary sailboat is, it can never be faster than the fog that is being pushed forward.
"I will absolutely not let him get away with this!"
"etc."
Bazel took the record pointer, lost in thought:
John knows the consequences of deceiving us, so he won't risk lying to us; at most, he'll just play word games.
"Kaido-san, you can sense it, can't you?"
"There's wind here."
