Chapter 223 Internal strife, the man standing on the barrel! ([-]-in-[-])

The naval fleets carrying out the demon-slaying order arrived in the O'Hara waters one after another. Under Sakaski's coordination, more than a dozen warships lined up a hundred meters apart, with their guns aimed at O'Hara.

After Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan learned the news, he began to contact the navy who were censoring the people on the island and ordered his subordinates to leave the island. However, although his order was issued immediately, the evacuation work of the navy was quite extensive. slow.

Now O'Hara's dock is already crowded with people. Even the navy itself can't squeeze through the crowd and return to its warship.

Not all navies are able to master the "advanced" skill of moon walking, and these navies have no way to cross the surging crowds.

As for why they didn't use guns to clear the way and returned to their warships immediately, it was also because the navy themselves didn't have a clear concept of the "Devil-Slaying Order".

This is the first time for these navies to participate in such a mission. They are feeling lucky. They feel that the official attack will not be until tomorrow anyway. It is too late to leave until tomorrow. Moreover, they still have so many navies on the island. Those companions should not ignore them and open fire rashly.

And it was precisely the luck of the navy who landed on the island that they completely entrusted their lives to "fate".

The sight of the naval fleet standing ready in the sea not far away aggravated the panic among the people on the island.From the time the island residents received the news of the demon-slaying order until now, the refuge ship has not taken away even a single group of people.

The navy and CP9 were too slow to review and board the ship. For so many days, even this refugee ship, which could only accommodate a hundred people, was not fully boarded.

When the people on the shore saw the warships in the distance, they became increasingly anxious. If they hadn't seen the navy still stranded on the island, the people's anxiety might have turned into "actual actions".

In the center of the island, the scholars who were transferring books also noticed the changes in the naval fleet. They knew that they did not have much time left. After realizing this, the scholars did not rest at night and moved the books all night long. , before the demon-slaying order comes, protect as much as you can!

But while the scholars were busy in the Tree of Omniscientity, a thin figure came to the library. Looking at the busy scholars, Robin was a little dazed for a moment, and slowly walked to Dr. Clover who was directing the dispatch. , gently pulled the latter's clothes.

Feeling the tug on his clothes, Dr. Clover turned around and saw Robin in thin clothes. He steeled himself and asked:
"Robin, why are you here? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" When the end came, Dr. Clover was still able to remain calm and care about Robin softly.

"Can't sleep"

"Doctor, why did the Navy implement the demon-slaying order against O'Hara?"

"Are we all going to die?"

Cruel words came from young Robin's mouth. Hearing these words, Dr. Clover was startled at first, and then gently hugged Robin with some distress.Although Robin is young, she is very smart. She has long been aware of the chaos on the island, and she also knows the news about the Demon-Slaying Order.

From the words of those who fled, Robin also gained an insight into what the Demon-Slaying Order was.

As she spoke, Robin's eyes were filled with tears. She did not have such a real fear of death, but she knew that once she died, she would never see Dr. Clover in front of her again. She would never see Dr. Clover again. When it comes to his mother, he can no longer see the giant who talks to him, nor can he see that strange uncle.

What she fears is loneliness.

"Robin."

Facing Robin's question, Dr. Clover didn't know what to say for a moment. He just gently stroked Robin's head. After a long silence, Dr. Clover looked around at the empty bookshelves, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. .

"Robin, the seeds of life will remain."

"Those who pursue history will never disappear!"

"You are the youngest scholar among us. As long as you live, our ideas, what we have struggled for our whole lives, will not disappear."

"As long as those things don't disappear, we'll still be alive!"

When Dr. Clover was talking to Robin, there were many scholars moving things around. After hearing this, everyone stopped and came to Dr. Clover, looking at Robin with a smile.

"Robin, remember, no matter what happens, you have to survive!"

"Salon will find a way to take you away! This is our agreement with him."

"As long as you live, O'Hara will never disappear!"

Dr. Clover slowly knelt down, gently grabbed Robin's arms, and said.

Although Robin still has no way of understanding what Dr. Clover means, she has made one thing clear, that is, Dr. Clover and the others are already aware of death.

Shaking his head slightly, Robin tightly grabbed Dr. Clover's collar, buried his head in Dr. Clover's arms, and suddenly said coquettishly: "I don't want it!"

"I don't want to be separated from you!"

At this moment, the door of the library was gently pushed open, and Saron's muffled voice came into the library: "Dr. Clover, the books have been moved."

Hearing this, Dr. Clover couldn't help but pick up Robin, walked outside the door, and said to Saron: "Please! Saron!"

As he spoke, Saron bent down, held Robin in his hands, and was about to leave.

The place where the navy gathered was at the dock on the east coast. Saron himself had already made a raft, which was on the west coast, two or three hills away from the landing point of the refuge ship there.

Dr. Clover knew how determined the Navy was. After he learned that the Navy planned to launch a demon-slaying order against O'Hara, he had no intention of living. All he wanted was to leave a fire for O'Hara and history. .

And this fire is Robin!

Saron is the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. As long as Robin's identity is not exposed, he can survive under Saron's protection!

"Let's go! Saron!"

Dr. Clover looked at Robin struggling in Saron's hand, waved towards Saron, and shouted loudly.After hearing this, Saron no longer hesitated and took Robin directly towards the raft he had prepared in advance.

In the night, a huge black shadow moved quickly towards the west coast, and this black shadow also attracted Kuzan's attention.

Tonight, like the previous few days, Kuzan would rest on the slope beside the town, but he didn't expect that this night he would meet an old acquaintance.

Kuzan's figure turned into ice mist and disappeared.

Saron, who was running in the mountains, suddenly felt a chill in his body. The next second, thick ice fog quickly condensed in front of him. Seeing this scene, Saron's pupils shrank and he suddenly stopped.

After a while, Kuzan's figure condensed out. Seeing Saron through the night, Kuzan couldn't help but have a smile on his face:
"Yo~ Saron!"

"Long time no see! You guy, you can't be contacted for so long, why are you on this island?"

Seeing his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Kuzan smiled and said hello.

However, when Saron saw Kuzan, his expression was very ugly. Just when he was about to hide Robin behind him, Kuzan noticed the Robin in Saron's hand.

"ah la la"

"Isn't this a young scholar from the island?"

"I didn't expect us to meet again."

Kuzan saw Robin and greeted with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Saron and asked: "What are you planning to do with this little guy?"

"Saron!"

However, in the next second, Saron quickly placed Robin beside him. The huge figure rushed forward, and then punched Kuzan directly. While attacking, Saron shouted:
"Kuzan, I'm sorry!"

Saron's attack was very sudden. In an instant, the huge fist directly bombarded Kuzan's body. However, something surprising happened. Facing Saron's attack, Kuzan actually directly pulled out the dead wood he carried with him and the blade of the sword. It blocked the fist directly.

As a giant, Saron was unable to knock Kuzan away with one punch.

"Hey, hey, why are you attacking me suddenly?"

"Saron, what are you doing?"

Kuzan raised the sword with one hand, and his powerful armed domineering energy was concentrated on the long sword. He asked in a frivolous tone. He glanced at Robin behind Saron, sighed softly, and explained:

"I'm not here to catch that kid."

Although he was explaining to Saron, Kuzan did not stop the movement of his hand. The devil fruit's ability was activated, and the chill spread directly to Saron's body along the long knife. In the blink of an eye, Saron's right hand was frozen. .

"Ah——" After a painful scream, Saron quickly flew back, lowered his head and glanced at Kuzan's right arm, which was frozen into solid ice, and looked towards Kuzan.

"Well"

"Don't worry, Saron, this is just to prevent you from doing anything drastic again."

Treating this friend, Kuzan scratched his scalp and said apologetically. However, he looked at Saron and Robin and continued to ask: "So, can you tell me what you are doing now? Saron!"

At this time, Robin also walked to Saron's side with a worried look on his face, looking at Kuzan not far away.

Kuzan is a marine. After Robin realized the horror of the Demon-Slaying Order, he also felt a little afraid of Kuzan, a marine. At this time, he saw that Kuzan actually attacked his good friend Saron. Robin's I was both scared and angry.

"I didn't do anything. I just encountered a shipwreck and ended up living on this island."

"Now, I have recovered and am just getting ready to leave."

Saron looked at Kuzan and replied in a deep voice.However, Kuzan, who was still smiling at first, became a little embarrassed after hearing this answer, and complained: "Spare me, Saron, although I trust you, but you don't treat me as a fool. "

"If there's something wrong, it doesn't matter if you tell me, right?"

"I will help you if I can."

"Aren't we partners?"

Seeing the troubled look on Kuzan's face, Salon was also a little surprised. In his impression, Kuzan didn't seem to be such a person, right?
Burning justice.

Kuzan is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. The fact that the other party is here as a vice admiral shows that he is one of the five lieutenants who implemented the demon-slaying order. With Kuzan's wisdom and his intelligence network, It’s impossible not to know what the World Government and Navy Headquarters are planning to do.

But looking at the other party's current appearance, it seems that he doesn't care much about the order issued by the higher-ups?
It’s no wonder that Salon feels that the current Kuzan is different from the Kuzan he knew. After returning from the new world, Kuzan has been working with Yixiao.

And Yixiao has always been a person with a clear stand. Right is right and wrong is wrong. With the connivance of Ji Guoyuanyi, Yixiao has been implementing the justice in his heart since he became a navy.

After Yixiao became his subordinate, he even had a fierce quarrel with the lieutenant generals of other teams.

Under the influence of Yixiao, Kuzan became more determined in what he wanted to do. Of course, this also gave Kuzan a "shortcoming", that is, he often did not take the orders from his superiors seriously. .

The same goes for the demon-slaying order this time. He came not only because of the order, but mainly because he was "brainwashed" by the navy headquarters in his own subjective sense. He felt that the research of scholars would destabilize the world.

However, after visiting this island for a few days, Kuzan did not feel that this island was worthy of the navy's use of the Demon-Slaying Order.

At most, just lock up the scholars and prevent them from continuing their research, and destroy the relevant books. Demon-Slaying Order?Making a fuss out of a molehill.

Although he thinks so in his heart, Kuzan is not so stubborn that he will directly conflict with other lieutenant generals. He will not hinder others from enforcing the law, because there are rules after all, but he will protect ordinary people by then.

This is all Kuzan thinks he can do.

Therefore, when he saw Robin and Saron, although Kuzan guessed some truths, he didn't feel much. He just thought about whether there was anything that could help Saron.But Salon was too impatient, so Kuzan had to help him calm down.

"Partner?"

"Kuzan. I no longer understand what justice is."

"Right now, I just want to protect my friends."

"Can you help me? As my partner, protect my friends!"

Saron lowered his head, glanced at Robin beside him, and suddenly asked Kuzan.

Hearing this, Kuzan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Salon still trusted him, Kuzan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

"Let's go."

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Kuzan turned around and walked towards the distant coast. After arriving at the beach, Kuzan slowly squatted down, and a long ice road appeared directly on the sea, directly connected to the sea. Kuzan's warship.

Then, under the leadership of Kuzan, the three came to Kuzan's warship.

When Kuzan was not on the warship, Yixiao was the highest officer on the warship. After noticing the movement on the sea, Yixiao had already appeared on the warship, looking at Kuzan and others on the ice channel from a distance.

After returning to the ship, he smiled without asking any questions. He just drew out his long knife and cut off the ice channel connecting the warship, then turned around and returned to the cabin.

The navy fleet not far away also noticed the anomaly here in Kuzan, but when Saron approached, everyone recognized the giant lieutenant general. They only thought it was Kuzan and Saron who went to the island. After investigating, they didn't take it to heart.

Nicole Robin left O'Hara and came to Kuzan's warship without alerting anyone.

Early the next morning, a sharp, loud siren pierced the sky.

Not long after the sirens were heard, the warships opened fire at the Omniscient Tree in the center of the island. More than a dozen warships revealed their true colors as war machines. As the flames spewed out, the shells fell like raindrops towards the Omniscient Tree, roaring. The sound of cannons directly shocked the people on the shore.

They all turned their heads and headed towards the town that was already in a sea of ​​flames.

Sakaski stood on the deck, watching the fleet's bombardment with a cold face, without saying a word.Suddenly, Sakaski noticed that on the sea not far away, there was a warship parked there quietly. Although it was facing O'Hara, it was motionless. Not a single shell fired from the warship. ejaculate.

Sakaski, who was confused, called his adjutant, pointed to the warship in the distance, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to that warship? Didn't you receive the order? Why didn't you fire?"

Under Sakaski's inquiry, the adjutant hurriedly walked to Sakaski and reported: "That is Lieutenant General Kuzan's warship. A report was submitted early this morning, saying that the shells on their warship were affected by moisture. "

When he said this, the adjutant's face was covered with cold sweat. He felt guilty when he said this. However, this report was really given to him by Kuzan.
"Bang!" Sakaski ignored Kuzan and the others and turned his head towards O'Hara in the distance. After shelling for more than ten minutes, Sakaski suddenly pointed towards the refuge ship on the west coast and towards his subordinates. Ordered:
"Turn the muzzle and shoot over there!"

The adjutant looked in the direction Sakaski pointed, his pupils narrowed, and he couldn't help but said: "Lieutenant General, that is an asylum ship, and they are all ordinary people."

"Ok?"

"Ordinary people?"

"How do you know if O'Hara's scholars will blend in with the general public and sneak away?"

"You have to know that if even one of you escapes, the world will be in turmoil!"

"No one can be let go!!!"

"Excuting an order!"

Sakaski looked at his subordinates with a cold face and an evil look on his face, and scolded angrily.Hearing this, the officer couldn't help but straighten his body, saluted, and left in a hurry.

Not to mention that he felt that Lieutenant General Sakaski's decision was not unreasonable. Although it was cruel, it was indeed a way to avoid future troubles.

Soon, the sound of the cannons on Sakaski's warship stopped and the artillery began to turn its muzzles.

Not long after, after a volley of fire, more than a dozen shells shot out and flew towards the refuge ship in the distance.

"what?!"

"Who is attacking the refuge ship?!"

Although Kuzan did not participate in the bombardment of the Demon-Slaying Order, his attention was always on the fleet and the island.There was a change in the trajectory of the shells fired by the Sakaski warship, and Kuzan noticed it immediately.

However, before Kuzan could make any move, a figure had already passed by Kuzan.

Gravity Knife - Tiger!
Yixiao came to the side of the ship, bent down slightly, and then suddenly drew out his long knife and slashed at the cannon fired in the air.

At this moment, all the cannonballs in the air seemed to be stuck in a space where time had stopped, and they all stopped.The next moment, the cannonball suddenly changed its direction and shot toward the sky strangely.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A roaring explosion sounded from mid-air. Thick black smoke obscured the navy's sight at this moment. The bombardment suddenly stopped at this moment.

"Hey!"

"Sakaski, what are you doing?!"

The sudden change made Sakaski's pupils shrink. Before he could let anyone investigate the cause, a slender figure in a white suit landed directly on the main gun on the bow of the ship.

The gun barrel, which had become hot due to continuous firing, was already frozen by thick ice at this moment. Between hot and cold, the steel gun barrel had completely cracked and was almost useless.

"Kuzan."

Sakaski looked at the visitor with a dark cloud on his face.
