Chapter 191 The Eyes Gazing at the Future and the Door Fruit

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

between kings,

"Lord Im, we have conveyed your order to the navy." The five old stars knelt on one knee and offered their loyalty to the master on the throne.

"...Orders cannot be delayed."

The old-fashioned and calm voice conveyed the will of the throne owner.

"Your orders are everything to us. The Navy will use all their strength to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates."

The five old stars responded in a deep voice.

No need to doubt, no doubt, no need to be uneasy.

The eight hundred years of Tianlong people's stable presence in the Holy Land have already proved 'My Lord''s wise foresight. 'My Lord''s decision will not be wrong. Even if it is an outrageous order, time will always prove 'My Lord' in the end. correct.

Correct decisions time and time again established absolute dominance that no one dared to question.

"······"

The master on the throne said nothing more, just waved his hand gently.

The five old stars walked backwards and left the main hall. In this empty and solemn hall, only the owner on the throne was silently staring into the void in front of her. In her field of vision, what she saw was not the towering stone pillars, but the twinkling lights. The passing shadow of the future,

The man known as Whitebeard set foot on the Holy Land in the near future, wielding a knife and shattering the huge Marie Joa. The corpses of the Dracos fell among the ruins, and unclear figures wandered on the ruins. The last hit solves the problem of CP0 who is not dead yet...

This is the future she sees.

A bleak future that ends with the failure of the Holy Land.

Such a future,

She didn't allow it to happen.

so,

It must be dealt with in advance.

"Who...are you? Why can't I see you clearly?"

The owner of the throne showed a rare expression of confusion. She had seen this section of the future dozens of times. However, no matter how many times she tried, she could never clearly see the appearance of the figure who boarded the Holy Land with Whitebeard, and even the man and woman. I can't tell them apart, I can just barely see the outline of the human form, and——

A blue-black gemstone embedded in the figure's chest.

The light released by the gem, which was full of strangeness and had a completely different atmosphere from this world, obscured the figure's body, making it difficult for her to see her specific appearance. Therefore, there was no way to cut off this future disaster in advance.

"Who...are you?"

Mutterings echoed in the hall, but unfortunately there was no one around her to share her worries, answer her questions, and relieve her confusion.

The only thing that can be done,

Just get rid of the white beard first, and then try to see if you can clearly see the figure's appearance in the new future.

or,

That blue-black gem is also a clue?

————

The long corridor is empty and there are no extra people. This is the heart of the Holy Land. There is the supreme Void Throne among the kings. Logically speaking, it should be heavily guarded... But Lord Im doesn't like people. Many environments.

Furthermore, if the enemy invades the king's room.

What difference does it make if there are guards or not?

Just one or two daring rats are just asking for death.

so,

There are no guards on duty near Wang Jian Jian and Hua Jian Jian, only patrol troops come regularly for inspections.

"The Navy needs to keep a closer eye and take action immediately."

"Wait for a formal order to be issued."

"There is still time, let Kong go talk to Sengoku. This time the order does not allow them to have any ideas of taking advantage of the situation. No matter how much sacrifice they have to make, it doesn't matter even if the new world is completely in chaos... it must be destroyed. The Whitebeard Pirates."

"As it should be."

"That's it."

The Five Old Stars walked towards the 'Quanjian', discussing how to better implement Lord Im's orders as they walked.

between rights.

This is where the five old stars work daily.

The five old stars who returned to Quanjian summoned the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the navy marshal.

"...Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, this is our final decision, there is no room for bargaining..."

"It doesn't matter even if the desperate Whitebeard attacks the Red Earth Continent directly?"

"Can't the three admirals of the Navy stop a white beard? If so, instead of allocating so much military expenditure to the Navy every year... it would be better to use it to support Dr. Bega Punk's research. At the very least, Bega Punk The pacifists created by Dr. Garpunker's research will not push back and forth."

Warring States fell into silence.

These old bastards in front of me can really do such a thing without funding!

"Sengoku, we hope to see the specific combat plan provided by the navy as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if it is different from what we said last time. As long as the Whitebeard Pirates can be wiped out as soon as possible...then everything is not a problem. , whether it’s military spending or honor, we will give you everything you want.”

Sweet dates on a big stick.

An old but ever useful routine.

The Five Old Stars are obviously very good at this trick. They first put a straitjacket on the navy, and after they tasted the lack of freedom of action, they replaced the straitjacket with a collar... Obviously they were still treated like dogs. Still restrained, but this time there was far less resistance than before.

Warring States also understood that the terrible plan before was just a pretense, paving the way for the present, but he was able to make an action plan without restrictions... He still couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the order that the navy had struggled to maintain would be destroyed because of the random command of the Holy Land.

"I see."

Warring States slowly lowered his head.

He cannot act on impulse. As a marshal of the navy, he must take into account the overall situation. For this reason, even if he distorts his own will... marshal of the navy, it is really difficult to do! That bastard Garp... is so enviable.

Left between Quan.

Didn't go far,

Marshal Kong's shout came from behind.

"Warring States, you are walking too fast." Marshal Kong strode to catch up with Warring States who was waiting in place.

"This is an order."

"...Still don't understand why Wulaoxing did this?"

"If Whitebeard was so easy to deal with, how could it be delayed until today?"

"That's right. That guy with White Beard is indeed difficult to deal with. The knife that slashed me back then makes my bones hurt even now when I think about it!" Marshal Kong sighed. It's embarrassing to say that Roger, Golden Lion, and White Beard ······These monsters known as the three legendary pirates all rose up when he was the marshal of the navy.

Now, it has been twenty years since Roger died, and it has been almost twenty years since Golden Lion escaped from prison.

Only Whitebeard is still active on the sea, carrying the title of 'Four Emperors' and 'The World's Strongest Man', and continues to cause trouble for the navy.

"But! Sengoku, don't forget what you saw when you took over as marshal of the navy. For the sake of the world... we have to stick to even the most ridiculous orders." Marshal Kong looked at Sengoku seriously.

"······I know."

Sengoku nodded with difficulty.

"Just understand. Now that we are sitting in our current positions, we must shoulder our responsibilities. This is not for those people, but for more people, and for the peace of the world... of the Navy Giving is never meaningless.”

The Warring States Period was silent.

He looked back at the beautiful and majestic Mary Joa, the abode of... the descendants of the Creator.

As for whether it is true or false,

Nature is true. Since the Celestial Dragons control the world, they are naturally the descendants of the Creator. The so-called winner and loser are just like this. The winner will get everything, and the loser will lose everything... Eight hundred years ago, during that blank hundred years, the Tianlong people won the final victory.

So, they got everything.

Land, history, status, power, justice, wealth... all of these have been turned into the things of the Celestial Dragons.

"Marshal Kong, do you have any suggestions for dealing with Whitebeard?"

Warring States tried hard to change his mentality. He must do his best to face the next difficulties with the most positive attitude and strive to solve the Whitebeard Pirates at the minimum cost.

"My advice?"

Marshal Kong stroked his beard, thought for a while and said:

"If I were to make a plan, the simpler the better. It would be best if I could lay a dragnet and force Whitebeard to surrender. He would have to face us head-on. Otherwise, if we fall into pursuit and guerrilla warfare... the world All the strongholds of the government and navy on the Grand Line will be defeated, and we cannot afford to lose..."

"Are you throwing yourself into a trap?"

Warring States had the same idea.

Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy naturally occupies an absolute advantage in combat power. The three generals join forces and are confident to defeat any pirate emperor, let alone Sengoku and Garp. More powerful than a general.

But if the pirate can't be beaten, he can run away!

Even if pirates occupy a fixed territory, they may fight to the death when facing other pirates, but the navy... It is impossible for the navy to attack ordinary people as unscrupulously as pirates do, like Vice Admiral Doro. This kind of insane lunatic is just an exception.

Even Sakaski would not attack civilians without any reason.

He dealt with the deserters because military regulations clearly stipulated that those who deserted during wartime would be killed without mercy. He attacked the refuge ship because the refuge ship might be hiding archaeologists who violated the World Government's ban... Regardless of these excuses. How far-fetched, in short, Sakaski has a reason every time he takes action.

This leads to the fact that if the navy cannot annihilate the pirate group in one battle, especially if it cannot kill the core figures among the pirates, it is likely to be continuously attacked. By then, the family will have a big business and nowhere to escape. The Navy is in trouble!

"I will try my best to work towards this goal."

"If you need any help, just come to me. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I still have some power." Marshal Kong laughed and patted Warring States on the shoulder.

The two parted ways at the intersection.

One is going back to Malinfando, and the other is going to the official residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

————

The great line, the paradise,

Northeastern Alabasta, Nameless Bay,

Bodies were piled on the rocky beach.

After all, the desperate struggle failed to create a miracle. The absolute power gap cannot be easily overcome with so-called courage. At least... these miscellaneous fishes who don't even have the anonymity of 'D' They basically have no chance of making a comeback.

Eleus did not break his promise.

No one from the Silver Fox Pirates died during the battle.

However, when the last pirate of the Silver Fox Pirates fell to the ground, they failed to cause even the slightest scratch to Elus, so after defeating these pirates, Elus immediately started peeling off Foxy's dull fruit, and then—

Give these failed pirates a happy ending.

More than three hundred souls were harvested by Bengyu.

Back on the ship, as soon as Eleus's butt landed on the sofa, Clarisse hurried over,

"Your Highness, something big has happened."

"What's wrong?"

Elus asked casually while appreciating the Slow Fruit in his hand.

"Sachi, the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, is dead."

"Just die. It's not like the Whitebeard Pirates have never lost their captains. The captains of the second division have died so many times...and so on." General Elus, who suddenly reacted, He put down the Slow Fruit in his hand, "Who did you say died? Captain Sachi of the Fourth Division? How did he die?"

"Thatch was killed by a man named Marshall Teach. This man was also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. It is said that the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, 'Fire Fist' Ace, has set out to chase Kill this traitor."

"Destiny?"

Sachi is still dead!

So the dark fruit finally fell into the hands of Blackbeard.

Ace also followed the path of fate and embarked on a journey to hunt down Blackbeard, but he just didn't know the end of this journey... would it still be what it was?

"...Blackbeard has defected! Then...it's time for the young dragons of the East China Sea to set sail."

Elus sat on the sofa,

He seemed to feel the beating pulse of this era.

The old era will eventually be buried, and the new era will shine with great brilliance!

"Next...I can't wait any longer!" Elus stretched out his hand and grabbed the apple placed in the fruit basket...The soft glimmer of light shone on his Flashing in the palm of his hand, the apple turned into a dark blue devil fruit in the shape of a cantaloupe.

Attached fruit, analysis completed!

beside,

Clarisse's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the Devil Fruit that suddenly appeared. Fortunately, she had received professional training and had quite good self-control. She quickly straightened her expression and stood silently, waiting. Following orders from His Highness.

"Clarisse, go to my room and bring me the brass box with the star pattern in the safe. Remember, it's the one with the star pattern. There is also the empty box on the bottom shelf of the library. Bring me one, this is the key to the safe."

"Yes, Your Highness."

No more than three minutes passed before and after,

Clarisse came back with the things Eleus had named.

Elus put the Slowness Fruit into the empty box, and then opened the small brass box with a star pattern. Inside was a red devil fruit that looked like a cantaloupe. This was——

door fruit,

It is also the third Superman-type Devil Fruit that Elus chose to take.

"Clarice, ask the kitchen to prepare me a fried devil pepper pasta..." So far, he has tasted the bad taste of devil fruit that cannot be described in words three times, even after experiencing it Three times, he still couldn't get used to the bad smell that seemed to directly affect his soul.

In order to slow down the bad taste as much as possible, he came up with a combat plan called fighting fire with fire, using the spiciness brought by the two most terrifying peppers, the devil pepper and the death pepper, to wash away the taste of the devil fruit...even if As a result, you won't want to eat anything spicy for the next week.

Devil's Pepper Fried Death Pepper Pasta is on the table.

Just looking at the red and shiny pasta made me feel a dull pain in the anus.

Elus held the fork in one hand and the door fruit in the other.

He took a bite of the Menmen Fruit, then rolled up the pasta with astonishing momentum and ate it. The spiciness like lava and the bad taste of the Devil Fruit collided and exploded in his mouth... He lost his tongue because of it. Without realizing it, he numbly ate all the pasta on the plate. He had temporarily completely lost his sense of taste.

He took the water provided by Clarisse and rinsed his mouth. After resting for a while, he used Bengyu's power to regain his lost sense of taste.

Then,

It’s the door fruit’s ability development test——

"Open the air."

fail!

"Open the sofa."

success!

"Open the table."

success!

"Open the cup."

······

Portals of different sizes and materials appeared throughout the bridge.

Gradually,

Elus had somewhat grasped the essence of the Gate Fruit, and once again stretched out his hand to try, "Open the door with air."

This time,

His left hand touched a hard object in the empty air. With a slight push, a door opened. Through the opened door, he saw a green alien space. Elus raised his feet. Entered this strange alien space.

After entering, the air door behind him was closed, leaving no trace behind.

This made Clarisse, who had lost all senses, suddenly fall into panic. It was just that she couldn't see His Highness. Why couldn't she even sense His Highness's aura? As if he disappeared from this world in an instant?

However, she saw His Highness walking into the green space with her own eyes, and she was still able to control the panic in her heart. She did not do anything impulsive because of it. She just raised her attention to the extreme, observing the surroundings at all times, waiting for His Highness to appear again. Appear······

"Is this... an overlay of the real world?"

Elus stood in the green alien space.

Standing here, you can clearly see everything outside, but it is only limited to what you can see, and a green color filter has been added, so everything looks green... Everything here seems to be just right. In real-time projection of the real world, there is no solid matter.

The wall in front of him only blocked his sight. He stretched out his hand and passed through the wooden wall easily.

He walked out through the wall, walked around on the deck, and then thought about leaving the ship to see how far he could go... He just took one step, and it was clear that there was nothing, but he stepped on a solid knot. In fact, he stood in the air like this, and when he lowered his head, he could see the undulating sea surface without any obstacles in the middle...

But when he had the idea to look at the sea below,

As soon as his feet were in the air, the whole person fell at a constant speed, and in an instant, the whole person fell into the sea... Elus's heart subconsciously tightened. The fear of the sea among ability users was so deep into the bones, but before he could wait, react more,

Suddenly I found that there was no change in myself. The sea water seemed to be surrounding me, but in fact there was no sea water at all in the green alien space.

Everything he sees is a projection of the real world.

"To put it this way...there is nothing here, everything is a projection."

Elus felt that he understood some of the characteristics of this alien space.

There is no material existence here. Everything you see is just a projection of the real world. There is no concept of up, down, left, and right here. Everything is a feeling based on the projection you see. If he wants to go to heaven, he can Rise slowly, and if you want to enter the sea, you will fall at a constant speed...

As for oxygen... there is no obstacle to breathing here, it is obviously a different space.

After comprehensive experience,

The following conclusions were drawn:

First of all, this is a perfect refuge, an absolute defense in a sense.

Secondly, you can sneak attack enemies from incredible angles through this different space.

again······

There were too many messy thoughts. Elus knocked on his head and used the pain to control his raging thoughts. He calmed down and concentrated. At present, the door fruit was good enough, but...he couldn't forget the super Long-distance space transfer has not yet been achieved.

He wanted to try to see if he could use this alien space as a bridge to move from the paradise to the new world in a very short time.

The attempt failed as expected, or he simply didn't know how to proceed.

But Elus feels that this idea is not impossible, but his grasp of the Gate Fruit is too shallow. Opening the Air Gate is only an entry-level level. Bruno is far from developing the power of the Gate Fruit. place.

He probably sensed that Bengyu's analysis of the Menmen Fruit was expected to take about four months.

Compared with the additional fruit, it takes less time, and it takes more time than the chain fruit... He didn't understand the difference between these devil fruits.

"...Go back first!"

The development of Devil Fruits does not come to fruition overnight.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. No matter how tight you feel for time, you can't mess up your pace.

With his mind turning, Elus went straight up from the bottom of the battleship and returned to the bridge. Then he stretched out his hand and opened the air door, stepping into the real world again.
