Pirates: The Black Earl

No wonder Xiao Xiao was so shocked.

You must know that just before he sneaked into the new world for this mission, their news still stayed that Ace was working with the captain of the fourth team, Sage, to clear up the pirates in Whitebeard's territory.

With the "world's strongest" white beard staring at him, knowing that Ace is Roger's son, who would dare to stroke the beard?

But how long has it been?

Ace was arrested?

Or the Navy? ! !

Suddenly, Xiao thought of a terrible possibility and asked, "Could it be you?!!!"

The navy has arrested the blood of One Piece, so there must be a battle between them and Whitebeard.

Combined with the current situation, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the young man in front of him who looks like an ordinary nobleman, the "Black Earl" Francis Lovett!

Hearing this, Lovett opened his mouth under Xiao Xiao's horrified gaze, and frankly admitted.

"yeah, I made it."

"Including the turmoil that occurred in Whitebeard's territory, it was also caused by me."

"Aren't you very touched? Roger's son, the sinful blood that hasn't been cut off for decades, just fell into your hands so easily."

Touched... shit!

Xiao Xiao's face was livid, something really happened!

Whitebeard seems to be overwhelmed by the Black Beast Federation, and they are indeed not optimistic about the outcome of the war between Whitebeard and the Black Beast Federation, but Whitebeard is not easy to mess with!

After Roger's death and before the formation of the Great Pirate Era, during that chaotic time, Whitebeard firmly occupied the position of the leader of all the pirates in the world.

If he wants to become the One Piece King, it's as simple as eating and drinking, and getting things out of his bag!

It is such a terrifying existence, and now, it will be immortal with the navy!

Lovett is also aware of this, so he is determined to use the plot to minimize the risk.

Back in the East China Sea battle, the strength that Whitebeard's seemingly old body erupted was still astonishing, and the aging of his body and the onset of dark injuries did not affect him. His development of the Zhenzhen Fruit did not stop.

If it weren't for the "Great Eddy Spider" Scuyad's sword piercing his chest, the number of casualties of the navy on the battlefield is still unknown.

For such a white beard, he is naturally qualified to be listed separately for calculation.

Xiao Xiao clenched his fists when he noticed Taotu who also crawled out from Master Lantern's back below.

"Everyone, retreat!!"

Earl Black didn't want to kill them, Xiao Xiao could tell.

Because he wanted Whitebeard to die in the hands of the Navy.

But they have no choice!

This is an upright conspiracy to turn public, and the government must take up this challenge!

There was just a slight hint of the possibility of a union, but it was broken by the Black Earl with a conspiracy.

Comparing calculations and people's hearts, Lovett is not trying to brag, if he has the advantage of the plot, if he can't compare with Blackbeard, then it will be really ridiculous.

"Why?"

At this time, Momotu, who was covered in blood all over her body, asked doubtfully.

The chief of CP0 is indeed qualified to command them, but is it too early to order the retreat?

Moreover, they also...

grunt!

Before finishing asking, Momotu stopped by himself.

Looking at the silent battlefield, the eyes of Taotu, who could not sense the breath of the crane, gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Xiao appeared behind her and pressed her shoulder: "Calm down, General Taotu!"

"The navy has arrested Firefist Ace, we don't have time to waste here!"

"'Ayes the fire fist?!"

Peach Rabbit gasped,

Pressing the grief in his heart, he said hoarsely: "I...understand!"

"That's good."

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, took her arm, and stomped heavily.

Yuebu!

The most urgent task is to rush back to prepare for the battle. If there is a big mistake in the battle with Whitebeard, Xiao Xiao doesn't think that the Black Beast Federation can sit still in the new world.

They not only want to win this battle, but also win beautifully, and won't give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it!

Seeing that Taotu, who is a general, was forcibly taken away by Xiao Xiao, the surviving navy was stunned, and then...

Crash!

Throw away the helmet and armor, and be like birds and beasts.

Someone ran towards the remaining warship, trying to start it; someone ran headlessly, avoiding the sight of the sky.

The tide is gone!

They continued to stay here, except for increasing the casualty list, which had no meaning, and trying to keep themselves alive was the best choice.

During this process, the NEO navy did not pursue.

Because Xiu Zuo and Ai Yin knew very well that it was not their people who defeated the navy, and at this time they took advantage of the victory to pursue it, obviously not giving face to the person above them.

One person can make tens of thousands of people dare not move, this is the majesty of the top powerhouse in the sea!

Rumble! !

At this time, another shock came.

When everyone looked back, they saw Lord Lantern's skeleton collapsed like a wreck that had been blown in the wind and sand for thousands of years.

But what was exposed under the flesh and blood was not some fuzzy flesh, but... three islands of astonishing size! !

"Did it swallow the island whole?!"

Ai Yin stared in horror, looking at the still lush vegetation on the island, feeling incredible.

Not only swallow it, but even let the island form a stable ecosystem in its stomach, and there are still living things living on it!

"Wait, in this case..."

Looking at the iconic structure of the lantern fish that lost its flesh and bone support and slowly peeled off its ugly coat, Ain swallowed.

There is no sunshine in Lord Lantern's stomach.

Normally, that's right.

But these plants are still growing vigorously, which proves that there is some other light source instead of sunlight for their supply.

Obviously there is only one answer!

hum!

The dazzling golden light burst out as the fish-skin-like folds fell off. It was clearly a clear sky, but this place couldn't feel the slightest bit of sun's brilliance.

A huge sphere made of gold appeared between the sea and the sky, emitting dazzling and bright light.

Like a huge light source, it is so exciting that people can't open their eyes.

Human pupils have a limit, too much brightness will damage eyesight, but the undead can... close their eyes and only leave the blood-colored pupils of the red-eyed raven. In Lovett's head.

"This thing can be brought back as a decoration."

He seriously considered the possibility.

In the city of dawn, it seems that there is no problem with one more morning star.

Suddenly, Lovett felt a faint breath coming from the island, flapping his wings and flew quickly.

"Interesting, Taotu actually gave up?"

Looking at the panting figure lying on the beach of the first island, Lovett's eyes were full of curiosity.

Even through the vast life field like the scorching sun of Lord Lantern's melting furnace, he clearly "saw" that the life force representing Taotu finally pounced on Aokiji, and immediately, Aokiji disappeared as if dead.

It now appears that Taotu finally chose to show mercy.

Noticing the fat man and little girl who couldn't open their eyes stimulated by the pure gold light around Aokiji, Lovett understood.

"If it's just a green pheasant who wants to get pure gold, even if he has other intentions, Taotu can kill him."

"But if it's Aokiji who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect others, Momotu won't let him go... right?"

"Wow!!"

Opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs, Aokiji squinted his eyes and tried to stand up.

"don't want!"

Sensing his movement, Olga tugged at his cloak in panic.

How small is the power of a little girl?

But it was this kind of power that made Aokiji stagger and fell to the ground again.

Seeing this, Lovett shook his head.

"When the oil runs out and the lamp dries up, it's hard not to die."

"But for your hard work, I will give you one last chance, former general Aokiji."

Aokiji struggled for a while, and after a while, he struggled to breathe and asked, "What... what?"

"Surrender to me, or let me destroy everything you cherish!"

Lovett said in a noncommittal tone.

"You should be the most clear why I took this way of killing... So you should be the most clear that I am regarded as a pig and sheep to mortals, and I don't even have the qualifications to be regarded as an enemy by me."

"There's no direct contradiction between that and your beliefs, is there?"

He doesn't put ordinary people in his eyes and dominates the power to kill and kill, but he will not kill wantonly for ordinary people. Aokiji's desire to protect the living and his role as a necromancer are completely incompatible things.

and.

Aokiji's courage is not the courage of the weak, but it is also the courage of sacrifice. As a member of the Necromancer School, Lovett doesn't mind wasting this time and gave him a choice.

"Surrender?"

Aokiji clenched his fists slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Surrender to a tyrant like you?"

"Yes, a tyrant with only life and death in his eyes!"

Better than a tyrant who only has eyes for Draco, right?

Aokiji's heart was infinitely sad, and he asked, leaving light marks on the sand with his fingers.

"But you... will allow people like me to exist?"

"Ah!"

In this regard, Lovett grinned, but did not answer.

The living and the dead are different in his eyes. As a mage, he has already transcended the boring definition of life and death.

The silence was not unexpected to Aokiji.

A few seconds later, he seemed to have made a decision, raised his bloody face, and tried his best to see Lovett's expression clearly.

"I am willing to surrender!"

"leader……"

"Uncle?"

Ain and Olga in the distance couldn't help covering their mouths, weeping silently.

They knew for whom Aokiji chose to surrender.

It's definitely not that he wants to drag out an ignoble existence!

At this, Lovett smiled.

"Smart decision, trust me, you won't regret today."

After all, a stream of extracted life force poured into Aokiji's fragmented body, nourishing the riddled internal organs.

Just as Aokiji couldn't help but moan comfortably, Lovett's voice continued to sound.

"Then your first task is to move this thing back to Dawn City."

"Can it be done?"

Squinting his eyes to look at the huge pure gold ball, to be honest, Aokiji's heart beat for a second, and his thoughts were spinning.

But he chose to give up in the end, and answered seriously: "Yes!"

"So, it's best."

In Dawn City, there is a gravekeeper Katakuri who is responsible for cleaning up the corpses, and a lighthouse keeper "Aokiji" Kuzan who is responsible for guarding the lighthouse. Thinking about it, Lovett thinks that the picture is quite wonderful.
