On the contrary, the relief of civilians before the demon killing order will undoubtedly brighten the face of the government, and will also confirm the "demon" behavior of O'Hara scholars from the side-the world government only targets scholars who illegally attempt to awaken ancient weapons. Strengthen the credibility that the government is absolutely the righteous party. How can the high cost of obliteration be compared with the refuge ship that will bring good returns? Wu Lao Xing, as the highest power controller of the world government, definitely has the most cutting-edge vision and political pattern of this era.

Sakazuki dialed the phone worm for the third time: "Notify the entire army that the Warring States general has added a new order to make all ships and combat units absolutely not allowed to bombard refuge ships under any circumstances. Conduct personnel checks on the refuge ship."

"receive."

"Acknowledge receipt of order"

"receive"

"Ah la la, received the order"

"receive!"

The combination of the brim and the hood effectively concealed the expression of Sakazuki. In the shadow that no one can see, a smug smile on the face of the perennially serious and indifferent iceberg.

06. O'Hara! O'Hara! (superior)

"Doctor!? Everyone is going to die? It's a lie! It's just because of the interpretation of ancient text!?" The young Robin looked at Dr. Clover with trepidation, the amiable old man who smiles on weekdays, and hopes that she has always regarded it as this in her heart. Grandpa's old man suddenly looked out from the pile of books as high as a hill as usual, and smiled and told her that it was not true.

Spandane finally noticed that there was a skinny little girl here, and his inertial thinking told him that this must be another little kid who worshipped scholars, just like the other residents on this island, repaying the scholars. Highly respected.

They even called them "the pride of this island." And after hearing this little girl’s “naive” question, Spandane, who has always been proud and conceited, became angry with these ignorant civilians who “do not know what is good or what, do not know the severity, and do not respect the government”. He was dressed in the skin of the world government. , Wherever he went, whether he was the dignified lord of a country or the powerful aristocratic squire, he treated him with courtesy and did not dare to disobey him half a step. But these civilians on this island have repeatedly challenged the government's majesty.

First they sheltered these scholars on the island for so long, then they questioned the government's decision, and now even a little kid is presumptuous-don't ask him, a high-ranking official who represents the authority of the world government, but turn to ask his own prisoner. . Spandah was so angry that his face burst into blue veins, and he roared: "Listen! You stupid girl! Their purpose is to awaken ancient weapons and destroy the world!" He thought he would see this. The skinny girl had a shocked expression on her face, but she didn't hesitate to wait for the little girl to shout back, "Lying! They didn't do such a thing!"

"Enough, Robin, I can't tell them clearly anyway," Dr. Clover, who had been silent since the secret room was found, interrupted.

Spandain was almost angry with the Three Corpse Gods. "What did you say?!"

"The call is connected, sir" CP9 on the right side vaguely reminds the idiot officer of his family to pay attention to the importance, after all, the phone worm is the masters of the highest authority.

Riding on the Spandah's distraction, Dr. Clover whispered to Robin: "Robin, get out of here! If you hear what I say, it will constitute a crime!"

Seeing Robin running away quietly, the old man who had been sitting cross-legged slowly stood up. He straightened his waist and stared sharply at Spandane, making the latter almost afraid to look at him: " Is it just the ancient weapons themselves that the government is afraid of? Before I die, at least let me talk to the leaders of the five old stars—the world’s leaders. In this archaeological holy land, O’Hara, we have failed to achieve our goal through long-term research. But the historical hypothesis about [Blank One Hundred Years] has been drawn. I want to tell them!!!"

Spandain ignored Dr. Clover, turned his head and reported his achievements to the five old stars in a flattering tone: "...Yes, it is a capital crime! The evidence is conclusive and only awaiting your order."

"Is that so?" Wu Lao Xing's room was spacious and bright, but there were no extravagant decorations. At this moment, the five top leaders of world governments are sitting around a coffee table with telephone bugs. The old man with long hair like a waterfall carried a trace of regret in his tone, "Then there is no way, and we are very sorry, but after all, you have violated the laws of the world, and we can't just ignore it."

"Don't pretend to be official! Five old stars!" Dr. Clover shouted sharply

Spandain's eyes widened: "Ruddy fanatic! You actually used this tone to speak to the highest official of the world government!"

Wu Lao Xing is noncommittal, and his tone is still calm: "The authority of archaeology, Dr. O'Hara's Clover, you have made a great contribution to the culture of the world, I know your name... I didn't expect that you would also go there. this road."

Dr. Clover’s tone is very firm: "History is the wealth of all mankind, and people want to understand the unknown history. No one has the right to stop it!"

"Reading the text of history may revive ancient weapons and cause a world crisis! Even if you are not malicious, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of your achievements!"

"Regardless of the past history, it was created by humans alone, and everyone must accept it! As long as we face it bravely, we can deal with whatever it is."

"This is just your personal theory!!"

"Really? You are actually afraid that the truth of history will be detrimental to you, right?"

"!?" The expression on the opposite side that the phone worm conveyed perfectly, still expressionless, with a trace of shock in his eyes but could not hide it.

Dr. Clover continued, "The content of the historical text is self-explanatory, but the reason for its existence... Why did people in the past deliberately engrave on the stone to convey the information to future generations? Spread the history on the indestructible stone. All over the world, it is to prevent those contents from being damaged along with the paper!" "Assuming that the people who left the stone are destroyed by the enemy, then their enemy will always live in history. The strange thing is that {blank for a hundred years }The year that ended was exactly the year of the birth of the world government."

The atmosphere was a little condensed, and Wu Lao Xing asked in a strange tone for a moment of silence: "What are you trying to say?"

"If the enemy of {perished people} is today's world government, then {blank one hundred years} is the history hidden by the world government! By reading ancient documents, we have discovered the existence of a country, even though it no longer exists They had already carved their thoughts and historical truths on the stone before they lost to the coalition forces of the world government."

Dr. Clover is unprecedentedly sharp: "The existence and thoughts of that kingdom pose a real threat to your world government! The specific threat needs to be further interpreted, and the key to all this is the name of the once prosperous kingdom. ——"

"Kill him!" Wu Lao Xing yelled. As soon as his voice fell, Spandane shot and fell on Dr. Clover and interrupted his words afterwards.

"Doctor!!" Robin, who had been secretly observing the progress of the situation through his own fruit ability, hid in the distance and rushed to this side crying.

"O'Hara knows too much, send an offensive signal, and don't let any one go." Wu Lao Xing hung up the phone.

Spandain took out a phone worm made of gold, and pressed it decisively. "Then I will activate the golden phone worm given to me by General Warring States, and I will leave the rest to you... make!"

The **** old man lying on the ground blamed the girl who rushed to him with a trembling voice, "Robin, you stupid! Why don't you run? Go! Go!"

On the navy warship, the silver telephone worm, which is specially responsible for receiving the signal of the golden telephone worm, rang suddenly. "The ships are in place and ready for bombardment!" The final task was arranged. Sakazuki legs squat slightly, knees bend, and the energy is stored like a horse step, and then a burst of air torn apart sounded over the deck. He rushed diagonally from the bow deck to O'Hara, and even the deck was slightly cracked by the force of the reaction.

Tu Moling, it's started!

07. O'Hara! O'Hara! (middle)

A few minutes before the start of the slaughter order-Kuzan, who was lazily standing on the sun lounger on the warship waiting for the offensive order, actually resisted this military strike from the heart. In his perception, what needs to be treated with such caution and spare no effort should be Those big pirates full of evil. It is not a scholar who has no power to bind the chicken, and it is not an innocent civilian. Although these scholars have indeed violated the law and need to be arrested, they are definitely not guilty of completely destroying O'Hara Island. You must know that not only criminal scholars live on the island, but more ordinary people. The devastating fleet shelling can certainly erase the "demon" in the government's mouth, and it will also erase the homes of countless civilians. But as a navy, even if he doesn't agree with the killing of demons in his heart, he must execute the order. This is his consciousness as a naval soldier.

"The so-called justice depends on the situation," Kuzan sighed secretly. "Lieutenant General Kuzan! It was a contact number from Lieutenant General in Sakazuki." The colonel next to him with a phone worm in his hand reported to the chief who was lying on the chair with a lazy cancer attack, "I didn't look at your parent officer. Are you thinking about life?" Kuzan thought bitterly, but he did not move slowly and took the phone worm with one hand. He was a little curious about why Sakazuki would contact him alone at this time. He picked up the microphone: "Hey, Sakazuki?" Kuzan asked knowingly, his tone still slouching.

"It's me" came the calm voice of Sakazuki in the microphone, concise, and full of military style. "Have you seen the refuge ship? There are still a large number of civilians boarding the ship. I need it after the slaughter order is launched. As the in-line commander, you command the fleet to launch an offensive against the entire island."

"...Do you want to?!" Kuzan had a vague guess in his mind.

"My fruit ability is perfect for this operation. I will land on the island and perform the task of destroying the omniscient tree. At the same time, I will try my best to search for civilians who are still on the island and take them to the refuge ship."

Kuzan was stunned. He was familiar with his colleague's usual behavior. He absolutely killed the enemy pirates without leaving a living. There were even rumors that he would also execute on-the-spot soldiers who interfered with the mission in his opinion. But today's words and deeds are particularly in keeping with his appetite? ? Kuzan shook his head. No matter how he could minimize civilian casualties, it was a good thing. He changed his sluggish tone.

, Sternly said: "Don't you need me to walk with you? After all, my fruit ability still has some experience in protection."

"...So, it couldn't be better, Kuzan. This time it is different from the previous game against the Pirates. Except for the "demon" scholars who need to be erased, there are still many civilians stranded in the bombing area. We need to reduce unnecessary casualties." (Sakazuki nodded, in fact, when he heard Kuzan say that he was going together, he subconsciously wanted to say no. If there are others around, it will affect his plan to some extent, but Kuzan’s reasons make him unable to do so. Refuse. Rock berry is impeccable in destructive power, but the versatility of the fruit is indeed not as complete as Kuzan's frozen fruit.

Although his Sakazuki is an iron-blooded soldier, this iron-blooded man should never be used on his own people. Only the corpses and flesh and blood of the enemy can be used to create a glorious military medal for soldiers. Adhering to the moral bottom line is easy to say, but the Three Views and the bottom line are often easy to lose their original heart when they have strong power and power. "Holding" itself means a challenge. If you don't pay attention, you will be defeated by external forces or yourself at any time. .

Perhaps the previous Sakazuki didn't even have the "redundant" idea of ​​protecting civilians. However, the traversers who grew up under the red flag in the past must consider the safety of civilians. "The army loves the people and the people support the army" is not an empty talk. The long history has witnessed countless great armies from ancient times to the present. He clearly knows what kind of power an army with the support of the people will burst out. No matter whether he crosses or not, he has never been a short-sighted person. Sakazuki clearly realizes that only by not confining to the pattern and thinking of this era can his path go further and more stable.

With several consecutive bursts of torn sound barriers, Sakazuki landed steadily on the shore of O'Hara, and at the same time he landed on a tall man covered in frost and cold. At their level, the Six Forms are already familiar, stepping across the sea with moon steps, and rushing directly to the direction of the golden telephone bug's instructions.

"Kuzan, you go to the building complex on the island to search, and I will go straight to the direction of the All-Knowing Tree." Without looking back, Sakazuki pulled the black gloves and told Kuzan. As a general at the same level, Kuzan didn't care about anything, just nodded, and quickly moved to the nearest building complex with a chill.

The black gloves turned dark red with the activation of the fruit's ability, the shoulders of Sakazuki were covered with sudden smoke, and the whole arm dripped with molten liquid similar to the melting of a candle, but the temperature was higher than that of a melted candle. Several times higher, the air in front of his body began to be distorted. The burly body of Sakazuki leaned forward, with its heels off the ground, and suddenly turned into a line of fire when it seemed to be about to fall to the ground, and lased in the direction of the omniscient tree.

08. O'Hara! O'Hara! (Down)

The fire is burning. As a 5000-year-old tree, the omniscience tree has been given countless praises by the world-living history, a tree of knowledge... and even built it with the tireless efforts of generations of scholars and residents on the island It is the largest library with the largest collection of books. However, it cannot escape its essence as a tree after all-the wood will be ignited by flames. The agents of the world government brutally blasted the roots of the tree on its side with explosives, and found the hidden secret room and the boulder carved with the text of history. The flame caused by the explosion is not too big, but the countless books in the tree body have become the best fuel for the flame. At the same time, the burning stacks of books ignited the dry internal wood.

Finally, some scholars noticed the billowing smoke from the roots of the explosion, "Hey! Look!"

The scholars who focused their attention on Dr. Clover who was seriously injured and lying on the ground couldn't help being frightened and angry, "The All-Knowing Tree is on fire!!"

Many impatient scholars stood up angrily, ignoring the surrounding gunpoints pointing at them and yelled at Spandane: "Isn't it enough to kill us? What the **** do you world governments want to do!?" "Asshole! Do you know? How precious are the documents in there?" Although they have been awakened, the omniscience tree that has already begun to burn still makes them extremely distressed. They can die for the truth and sacrifice for knowledge. The books and ancient scrolls stored by O'Hara carry countless knowledge and wisdom of the ancestors. Is this precious wealth of mankind going to be burned today? ! This is absolutely unacceptable to scholars.

Spandane beckoned to his subordinates: "Just ignore them, the government should retreat." He was not in the mood to argue with the dead, and the order to kill demons had been issued, and he stayed on the island for an extra second. , It means more risk. Suppressed by the lost government agents, scholars rushed to the library to fight the fire. Seeing the scholar who rushed into the library fire without hesitation, Spandane seemed to remember something and looked at Nicole Olvia who fell on the ground. He turned and walked towards the periphery of the island, while not forgetting to instruct CP9 next to him: "Bring me that woman! She also knows some useful information, can't let her die here like this!" CP9 with orange curly hair quickly Walked over and squeezed Olvia's arm, leading her to meet Spandane who had already walked some distance away. The bruised Olvia couldn't help but peek at the little girl who was still stunned, praying in her heart: "Robin... I hope you can escape safely and you can't die!" Young Robin Looking at the dragged back figure, it seemed to overlap with a figure in her memory. She didn't seem to hear the words of scholars urging her to leave, but there were tears in her eyes, just like watching someone's back figure gradually. Go far. She said, "Are you a mother?"
