Chapter 257
Loguetown, the place where this begins and ends, opens another new era.
At this time, after more than 20 years, there is another conversation about the future direction of the world.
Thinking for a while, Lin Tian just popped out a few words gently.
“Carefully watch the changes…”
After so long in the Marine, coupled with his status in the Marine, and some secret investigations, Lin Tian knew a lot of things. It was precisely because he knew these things that Lin Tian decided to watch the changes.
The World Government has ruled the world for more than 800 years. Even Five Elders/Five Elders may not be fully aware of how much power is hidden behind the World Government, and how huge it is.
There are Four Emperors in New World, and they cannot compete with World Government.
But don’t forget that World Government has two organizations with the same name as Marine. Their battle strength may not be as strong as Marine, but they will not lose much.
Not to mention, there are the forces and spy agencies directly under the World Government.
Even if Four Emperors teamed up to face the World Government, there is still no chance of winning. The power of World Government is unimaginable.
In terms of high-end battle strength, Five Elders, Garp, Kong, Sengoku, Three Admirals…, Seven Warlords, they all can completely crush Four Emperors. Not to mention, there are many black technology weapons, which is enough to solve Four Emperors.
TL note: Kong is the World Government Commander-in-Chief. He was the previous Fleet Admiral of the Marines at the time of the Battle in Edd War twenty-seven years ago. Some time after Gol D. Roger‘s execution twenty-four years ago Sengoku succeeded him as Fleet Admiral.
Therefore, even if something really happens in New World, even if all pirate gathers, the power of World Government is enough to suppress it. After all, World Government relies on the entire world.
After listening to Lin Tian’s explanation, Dragon couldn’t help but nodded. As the number one enemy of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army also has a very detailed understanding of the World Government.
There are some things that Lin Tian does not want to say, and Dragon also understands that. Because of this, Dragon cannot make up his mind what to do. After all, this decision can be said to be related to the entire Revolutionary Army.
Lin Tian did not finish talking. These are not the points that he really worried about. The chaos in the New World will cause heavy losses even if the World Government suppresses it. What really worries Lin Tian is:
World Noble!
“In addition to the World Government, our real enemy is the World Noble. The World Government was established by World Noble. We can’t underestimate their power. They have been living in Mary Geoise all the time. The world doesn’t know enough about World Noble.”
Dragon nodded lightly and whispered, “Indeed, there have been several CP0 members who have been involved in the Revolutionary Army. Although they committed suicide, we still got a lot of information. The World Nobles should not be underestimated.”
TL note:CP0, more properly known as Cipher Pol Aigis Zero (Saifā Pōru Ījisu Zero) is the strongest intelligence organization among Cipher Pol. CP0 is the strongest of all Cipher Pol units, even surpassing the assassination specialists of CP9. Much is unknown about the agents and their abilities, however, the members of the group are shown to be masters of Rokushiki and are proficient in Haki as Lucci, Kaku, and Stussy learned Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki. The agents who wear masks are among the most elite fighters of CP0, stated to be in a class of their own. It is said that nothing good can come from this group’s presence. They work directly under the command of the World Nobles.
Lin Tian also nodded, there are some things that he doesn’t need to remind. He couldn’t help but ask: “By the way, when are you going to leave?”
“Right now”
“So fast.”
“The goal has been achieved. I’ll rush back to the headquarters as soon as possible. This time, if a country is captured, the World Government will definitely take action. I want to go back to oversee.”
Holding up the surprise on his face, Lin Tian nodded. He cupped his chin in thought and said: “This is true, the stronger the Revolutionary Army, the more worried the World Government will become. I am afraid you will be busy then.”
Because of this, Dragon must also rush back as soon as possible. The next World Government’s offense may be very strong, which will also be a challenge to the Revolutionary Army.
“But…” Lin Tian’s conversation suddenly changed, “You won’t meet Luffy? You father is too incompetent. You couple of father and son haven’t seen each other in so many years.””
Dragon became silent abnormally. He did not speak, but quietly watched the scene below, the death penalty was on platform, and Luffy was being quietly buckled on it.
However, Zoro and Sanji have also arrived and are desperately rushing to the death penalty platform to save Luffy, but under the control of those pirates, it will take time to destroy the execution platform.
But Buggy, who was laughing, had already raised the sword in his hand, and moved towards Luffy, his neck was about to be chopped off.
At this time, Luffy suddenly lowered his head and said: “Lin Tian, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, sorry, I’mgoing to die.”
Lifting his head, that smile was so dazzling at this moment. Countless people were shocked. To face death with such a calm smile.
Even Lin Tian was shocked, even if he had died once, he couldn’t face death so calmly, but Luffy could do it.
This is Luffy, who wants to be the Pirate King!
Xoro and Sanji alone can’t save Luffy. It’s too late. Lin Tian stretched, grasping the Chasing Wind tightly, and was about to swing out to save Luffy.
But at this moment, one hand grabbed his wrist from behind and stopped his movement. Lin Tian quickly looked back to see, and who else was it if not Dragon.
Buggy’s sword was about to be swung down. There is no time to explain, Lin Tian’s arm forcefully broke away from Dragon’s arm, and he drew the sword with a flashing speed.
At the last moment, he still didn’t swing this sword, because he was stopped by Dragon. One wanted to swing this sword, and the other desperately prevented it. The power of the two rushed out.
crack crack ……
With the huge force, even the whole building can’t bear it. One after another cracks like spider web, crawling on all four walls, the walls are covered with cracks, and pieces of rubble fell off, as if to collapse at any time.
At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky began to change, one after another light blue of lights, like a dragon, swam in the sea of dark clouds.
Immediately afterwards, all the blue light gathered together, like a stone was thrown into the water, the whole sea of dark clouds rolled, a thunder rang from the high school, fiercely struck everyone’s hearts.
Boom…
Thunder accompanied by lightning. The stout lightning, like a sharp arrow hanging high in the sky, moves straight towards the execution platform below it and falls.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes gathered together under the lightning, as if seeing the anger of the sky, descending lightning heavenly punishment and killing the two pirates.
At that moment, the world was quiet, the dazzling blue light shining on the whole world and people’s hearts at the same time, this scene will not be forgotten by everyone.
Lightning is originally the strongest power in the world. With lightning-like speed and powerful attack power, it is draped vertically enough to overlook the entire square and destroy the execution platform.
A line of electric sparks surrounded it. The execution platform made of steel trembles constantly, and bolts fly out from the place where the force is applied.
Kang, as the first steel beam fell, a creak sounded from everywhere, and the steel climbed onto a layer of light blue flames beyond common sense.
The people below are already frightened by the scene in front of them, whether it is the crowds of onlookers, Zoro and Sanji who came to rescue, the Marines hidden in secret, pirates around the execution platform, or even Lin Tian on the clock tower.
Everyone has only one expression on their faces, that is, shock. This kind of scene is like the moment when Roger died, countless people were shocked by that man’s death.
This is the end of Roger’s era, the beginning of another era!
The rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell at this time. The cold rain dripped on the faces of everyone, and it was difficult for them to wake up.
The eye-catching Straw Hat, slowly falling on the ground. One hand slowly stretched out and put the hat back on.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, Luffy laughed heartlessly, with a very happy smile on his face, not at all as if he had just escaped from the hands of death.
“I’m still alive!”
In horror, the cig fell from his mouth, Sanji asked in disbelief, “Hey, do you believe in God?”
Retracted the sword in his mouth, Zoro looks Luffy with a smile and said in a cold sweat, “What the hell are you saying?! Let’s leave this town as soon as possible!”
Up the clock tower!
Lin Tian withdrew the Chasing Wind, and said with blame in his tone, “Hey, Dragon, you could have told me that you were about to move.”
“No.” Dragon shook his head, calmly said: “That was not me. I have never shot.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback, then laughed, and said in disbelief: “Dragon, why are you lying to me? This rainstorm is here all of a sudden. Don’t say you didn’t do it, can you even explain the strange weather. Only you can do this. Compared to that lightning, it’s also your masterpiece.
Dragon still shook his head, said solemnly: “I’m not lying to you. Since I came to this island, I haven’t done anything.”
Lin Tian complexion slightly changed, and asked very puzzled: “Then you just-, in that situation, why…”
“I don’t know. But in my heart, I felt that Luffy can get through that. Maybe it’s fate.”
“Fate?”
Luffy was caught by Buggy, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. At the last moment, there was a lightning bolt, which happened to struck the platform and save Luffy.
This is all an invisible destiny, or is there really a god in this world!
“Okay, I’m leaving first. I’ll leave Luffy in your care, Lin Tian.”
When Lin Tian turns his head to look, Dragon already disappeared.
“Sure enough, Luffy is like his father in some ways. Before everything is finished, he ran away. Forget it, let’s join Luffy and the others.”
Leaping back, the silhouette disappeared in the heavy rain instantly, and the busy Loguetown fell into a strange silence at this moment.
The Marines, who were already in ambush on both sides, rushed out at Smoker’s order and surrounded all the pirates in the field. The battle between the Marines and pirates was about to start.
And the three, taking advantage of the turmoil, quickly broke through Marine’s defense, moved towards the direction where the Merry was docked.
Before running far, a white silhouette came out from the side alley, Luffy exclaimed with joy: “Oh, Lin Tian, you’re here too.”
