Chapter 755: Ice and Fire Fight Again(1/2)
Blackbeard looked at the severed hand he was holding with a complex expression on his face. He never expected that the navy would react so quickly, and that Kizaru would act so decisively.
And when was the information that Van Oka swallowed the teleportation fruit exposed? Or was it just because they suddenly appeared here that Kizaru who rushed over made guesses and judgments?
If it was the former, Blackbeard couldn't help but glance at Kuzan out of the corner of his eye. If it was an intelligence leak, then the person most likely to betray them would undoubtedly be the former admiral of the navy.
Blackbeard also hopes so. After all, if it is the latter, it would be terrible. You know, even from the time they invaded, it has only been less than two minutes.
Even if the Navy didn't know about their invasion after Brynn pressed the damn button, but from the moment they invaded, the time was really too short.
In less than two minutes, the Navy had to react and report to the Admiral at all levels, and the Admiral Sakaski and the General Kizaru also had to rush over.
Under all kinds of confusing information, the time left for Kizaru to think is probably less than half a minute. In this half minute, Kizaru has to match various abilities in his mind that may achieve the effect of invasion.
Then we have to make an accurate judgment to determine which kind of fruit ability it is, and at the same time, we have to match this ability to a certain intruder, and finally we can take such decisive action.
Everything is too difficult.
Unfortunately, what Blackbeard didn't know was that Kizaru didn't really wake up until Sakaski opened the door to the evidence room, and his reaction time was less than a second.
Just seeing Blackbeard reaching out to Van Oka, Kizaru already made a judgment in his mind. In fact, for him, this judgment was not difficult.
Kuzan's fruit ability was very clear to him. No matter how familiar he was with the Navy Headquarters, he could still carry out an invasion like today. But Brynn was obviously the one who informed him, so he didn't need to think too much about it.
The focus is on Blackbeard and Van Oka. It only takes a slight examination of Blackbeard's past to know that he cannot have similar abilities and need to bring his own partners with him at the same time.
Because Blackbeard is definitely not such a person. If he himself has this ability, then in the evidence room at this time, it is not the four of them, but only Van Oka, Kuzan and Brynn.
Therefore, the answer is very simple. Van Oka is the "key" to this invasion, and judging from Blackbeard's behavior, Kizaru can know that Van Oka's ability is activated, perhaps through contact as a medium.
Especially for the instantaneous use of abilities, even if beginners can use their abilities from a distance, in the beginner stage, they are still used to using physical contact when facing emergencies.
So the solution is very simple, just change the contact part slightly so that it cannot be contacted. The whole thing is that simple.
After thinking and doing, Kizaru transformed from the condensed golden light state into a human form and landed on the floor. His eyes did not look at Blackbeard or Van Oka.
Instead, like Sakaski, they all transferred to Kuzan. In this small evidence room, the three generals, red, yellow and green, reunited again.
Kizaru's expression was still the same as before, with a mean and vulgar expression, but with a friendly smile that only acquaintances could recognize, while Kuzan, in line with his abilities, also acted extremely cold at this time.
Compared to the two of them, Sakaski, who was always known for his straight temper, had a complicated face at this time. Originally, when he opened the door and saw Kuzan, Blackbeard and others together, he was extremely disappointed.
After all, according to what Skyler said, Kuzan did not give up on justice after leaving the navy. He just used his own way to enforce justice and maintain the order of the sea.
But seeing Kuzan actually hanging out with pirates like Blackbeard, Sakaski even felt for a moment that Kuzan was really depraved, so depraved that he didn't even care about justice.
But after he carefully observed it, he discovered that perhaps Aokiji had not given up on justice and went with Blackbeard, perhaps because he had his own considerations.
In the past, Sakaski would never have had such an idea, because no matter what, justice should not go hand in hand with evil, but now he is much more mature and tolerant.
He has allowed more justice to exist, especially today's incident, which is really strange.
Sakaski could roughly guess the reason why Blackbeard appeared here. Looking at the two looming Devil Fruits in Blackbeard's pocket, Sakaski already had a guess in his mind.
That is, Blackbeard may still be obsessed with the Dark Fruit, thinking or being misled into thinking that the Dark Fruit is in the Navy Headquarters, well. It was so for a while.
It's just that during that time, the Dark Fruit was not in this evidence room, but on the warship of the Zhanye Detachment anchored at the port, and that fruit was also brought to the Red Earth Continent with the actions of the Zhanye Detachment.
.
It can be said that Blackbeard did not come to the wrong place, but came at the wrong time. Of course, if Skyler was still at the Navy Headquarters, Blackbeard would not necessarily dare to come.
However, Kuzan, who also communicates with Skyler, probably knows this information. It is not even certain that Kuzan's shadow is involved in Blackbeard's invasion this time.
Especially the little girl from the Charlotte family who rang the alarm bell was so close to Kuzan. If Kuzan wanted to stop her, he would definitely be able to succeed.
Brynn successfully pressed the alarm bell, which only means that Kuzan did not stop it at all. In other words, from Blackbeard's invasion, to the alarm sounding, to when they arrived to intercept Blackbeard, it was possible that Kuzan was
Like the idea.
This was also the reason why Sakaski looked at Kuzan with such complicated eyes. After leaving the navy, he still had justice in his heart, which Sakaski admired very much.
This also made him feel even more ashamed. After all, Kuzan's departure was not only due to defeat. The most direct reason was that Sakaski's eyes dropped slightly and he looked at Kuzan's left leg.
After the battle between him and Aokiji, Sengoku showed him Aokiji's broken leg and explained to him that the most direct reason for Kuzan's departure was that he lost his left leg in the battle.
For more than a year, Sakaski has been struggling with this matter. In the end, he could keep his hand, and Kuzan's leg should have been saved. In that case, Kuzan might not have left the Navy.
Although Kuzan, after leaving the navy for more than a year, has still made countless contributions to the cause of justice, such a talent no longer belongs to the navy. This is his fault as a naval marshal!
Kuzan also noticed Sakaski's complicated eyes, his ice-like expression, and couldn't help but move, his lips pursed slightly. Obviously, he was not as calm as he looked.
For more than a year, he had been avoiding meeting with the navy, and the person he least wanted to see was Sakaski in front of him. And when he saw Sakaski's face again, Aokiji...
I wish I could beat him up!
For the sake of justice, he can indeed give up a lot and let go of a lot, but Sakaski is the only one who becomes more and more dissatisfied with him. Even if it is for justice, he still hates the naval marshal in front of him.
Even though that battle made them both recognize each other's justice and admire each other's ability as a navy, there are some things that can't be let go just by letting them go.
Just when Sakaski was about to say a strange hello, and Blackbeard was almost sure that Kuzan was the undercover agent, suddenly, the temperature in the evidence room dropped sharply.
"Frozen time capsule!"
A blast of bone-chilling cold energy shot out from Kuzan's suddenly extended hand, directly hitting Sakaski, who still had lava flowing on his body.
Suddenly, Sakaski flew out, directly knocked down the guardrail of the corridor, and fell towards the outside of the headquarters building.
Blackbeard was shocked. He never expected that the undercover agent he identified would be the one who sounded the clarion call for counterattack. Not to mention Blackbeard, even Kizaru's face tightened with fright.
.
In fact, he was the one who knew the inside story of the Chiqing Controversy best, even better than the two parties involved. Even the headquarters' arrangements for the loser, Warring States forced him to listen.
Therefore, he is the one who knows the reason why Kuzan left and what he was doing after leaving the navy, but today should be Kuzan's best chance to return, but who would want Kuzan to fight almost every time they meet.
Brynn was so frightened that she squatted down on the spot. This scene was really terrifying. Kuzan's momentum when he took action was just like her Katakuri brother, unparalleled.
Although the space was limited and the shooting time was short, Kuzan did not explode with all his strength, but this momentum was not deceptive, and Brynn did not notice that Kuzan was holding back or acting at all.
"Go and get help!"
Blackbeard also reacted and threw Fan Oka's right hand back to Fan Oka. Then he stretched out his hand and there was a lot of blood, and fangs came out of his body.
He waved his fanged hands and rushed towards Kizaru at such a high speed that Kizaru twitched his eyebrows and then transformed into elements, avoiding Blackbeard's attack.
But no matter how fast his reaction was, it still gave Fan Oka time to react. In an instant, Fan Oka disappeared from the evidence room.
A lightsaber fell, but there were only a few strands of hair and pieces of clothes scattered in the air, as well as a rising mist of blood. Kizaru's face instantly turned bitter. He rubbed his thick and curly hair and looked dissatisfied.
To Blackbeard.
"Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai~ I have never heard of it~ Such a fast speed is even faster than me~ This accomplice of yours is really a terrifying monster~"
Hearing Kizaru say these words in this tone, Blackbeard's face was extremely ugly. Fan Oka was a teleportation fruit user, and despite being extremely alert, he was still injured by Kizaru.
Sure enough, the admiral is not a simple thing. Blackbeard had always doubted before, why Shiliu repeatedly explained that after the battle on the top, Kizaru was staring at him, and he couldn't do anything.
He originally thought this was just Shiliu's excuse, but now it seems that Kizaru's unreasonable strength does have such a deterrent effect!
There is so little combat intelligence collected about Kizaru. In this world, except for a few people in the Navy, probably no one would dare to tell clearly about Kizaru's strength.
But such a person who is extremely lazy and whose attitude is completely incompatible with positivity has firmly taken the position of admiral. Is it possible that the top brass of the navy are blind?
The answer is no, but for outsiders, because Kizaru's past information samples are too few, and among the exposed samples, he also performed extremely mediocre, so no one will pay too much attention to him.
Including Blackbeard before, it was only now that Blackbeard felt it clearly.
Outside the navy headquarters, a blood-stained figure suddenly appeared on the tailed beast's pirate ship. As soon as Van Oka appeared, he fell directly on the deck.
His right hand and entire forearm had fallen off and were being held by his right arm, and there was a horrific wound on his left hand and shoulder.
That smooth incision almost cut off his entire arm. If it weren't for a little bit of flesh and blood, maybe his left arm would no longer be there.
As a sniper, Fan Oka can be said to be useless in this situation!
Of course, such an injury would be the same as being disabled if it were applied to other people or people in other positions, but other people may still have some physical skills to speak of.
But for Van Oka, a sniper, if he can no longer lift a gun, then he will completely lose the value of his existence in the Blackbeard Pirates.
His fate will be worse than Lafitte, whose legs were cut off by Mihawk, because the value of Lafitte's fruit is much lower than his teleportation fruit.
Therefore, Blackbeard allowed Lafitte, a semi-invalid man, to be kept on the ship, but if he was really disabled, Blackbeard would strip the fruit power from him without hesitation, and then let him die.
Thinking of that scene, Fan Oka couldn't help but look pleading, looked at the ship's doctor Du Q, and said: "Help me!"
What needed saving was not only his current injuries, but also his qualifications to survive within the Blackbeard Pirates. Seeing the pain and pleading on his companions' faces, Poison Q knew that something was wrong.
He did not seek treatment immediately, but asked: "How is the captain's situation?"
"Brynn deceived us. The captain and Kuzan are fighting with Sakaski and Kizaru!"
Fan Oka said with pain. When they heard that Kuzan was not the one who rebelled, the faces of the people on the deck changed slightly. They did not think that Kuzan would be "like-minded" with them at all.
But now it seems that Kuzan is really "complicit" with them.
If Kuzan did not rebel, then the matter might not be so bad. At this time, Xiliu slowly lit the cigar, looked at Fan Oka, who was receiving poison Q to treat the wound, and asked:
"Did the captain ask us to help? Or has he already obtained the Darkness Fruit and has the strength to fight the admiral?"
Shiliu hoped it was the latter. He didn't want to go to the navy headquarters to save people. He was also trained in the navy system when he was young. He knew much more about the top brass of the navy than this group of rabble.
It's not like they have never done anything like breaking into the navy headquarters, but the last time they fought in a war, they were not even the main force and almost died on the battlefield.
If Blackbeard hadn't had a special physique and survived after swallowing the poison and briefly suspended animation, then they wouldn't still be together now, but would have gone their separate ways.
