The gourmet among pirates

"So what if His Majesty Alves achieves his goal..."

Monroe's words were like thunder, roaring in Ace's mind.

It turns out that they knew all along...

Ace was silent for a long time, and then said dryly with his voice that had become hoarse at some point: "Why!"

Why this sentence.

It was as if he was asking the Saint Monroe, but also as if he was asking himself.

"Why?" Saint Monroe showed a self-deprecating smile on her face, turned around and glanced at Baird Alves who was blocked behind her, and said with a complicated expression: "In this world, good people don't live long. , maybe... because only bad people like him can lead the Moonlight Church and lead more people to survive!"

·······

While Ace and Monroe were talking, Baird Alves, who had transformed into a demon form behind them, looked at the figure blocking him in disbelief.

In those deep scarlet eyes, shock and confusion appeared alternately.

He never thought that the disguise and strategy he thought were perfect would have been noticed by the "silly and sweet" Monroe and the four "brains full of muscles" Apocalypse Knights.

Unexpectedly.

In his mind, the Saint of the Moonlight Church who accidentally ate an unknown Devil Fruit and only knew the Holy Light Healing Technique had such strength that she could even break through Ace's domineering aura and replace him. He blocked Ace's blow.

It was obvious that Monroe was accidentally discovered by him and used as a vase to deceive the common people. When did Monroe have such strength and brains.

Is this still the Monroe I knew?

and many more!

if so.

Doesn't it mean that... I am the clown who was pinned to the ground and rubbed by them using my IQ?

thought here.

Baird Alves's face, which was like a marble sculpture, suddenly became filled with black energy.

But beyond shame and anger.

Baird Alves also felt a little relieved.

At least judging from Saint Monroe's actions, she is on his side.

With her here, the hope of dealing with Ace is undoubtedly much greater.

Even if they join forces and still can't defeat Ace, at least if he runs away this time, he will have someone to help him hold Ace back!

Since Monroe was able to break through Ace's domineering suppression, she rushed in front of her and blocked Ace's sword.

Thinking about it, it wouldn't be a problem to pester Ace for a while.

··········

Can a bad guy like Baird Alves lead the Moonlight Church to live a better life?

Ace did not agree with what Monroe said.

"Putting your hopes on such a guy, your so-called Moonlight Church, is so pathetic and... stupid!"

"For someone like you who has an 'illustrious' life experience, who has been surrounded by many strong men since birth, and who also has the guidance of famous teachers, it may be difficult for us commoners to find a strong man who is powerful and willing to take action for us. It’s such a rare thing!”

As he spoke, Monroe chuckled and said: "Before he appeared, we commoners, even if we wanted to resist the brutal rule of those nobles, were powerless and could only lose our lives in vain. Although he... It has a lot of selfish motives, but it really gave us the force to defeat the Grand Duke of Moscow and the hope of changing all this. Otherwise, why do you think Perkins and the others clearly sensed something was wrong in the body and expanded rapidly, leaving only One person is left at the Moonlight Church headquarters."

"Because...from the beginning to the end, all they wanted was to leave us more resistance capital before they died, so that more people could survive in the future!"

"As for their own lives, they... don't care about it for a long time!"

"Although I don't have their determination, I won't let this only hope extinguish before my eyes!"

"So, Mr. Ace, I'm sorry!"

【Holy Light·Glory! 】

With a soft drink from Monroe!

A dazzling white light suddenly lit up from the palm of Monroe's hand!

The sudden white light was like a flash bomb, blinding Ace's eyes.

Under the stimulation of strong light.

Ace's eyes were filled with white, and he lost his vision.

Moreover, the intense white light that seemed to blind the eye membranes even stimulated Ace's tear glands to surge.

Big eyeballs rolled down directly from the gaps between Ace's fingers covering his eye masks.

·······

After Ace was temporarily blinded by the white light.

Monroe, who was well prepared, directly pulled Baird Alves, who was also in tears, and ran away.

"go!"

Monroe never thought about fighting Ace.

She knew very well that although her fruit gave her considerable strength, she was not good at fighting and had no fighting experience. Even if she was willing to fight Ace, she would not be experienced in hundreds of battles. Fight experienced Ace opponents.

And, to be honest, she didn't want to hurt Ace, her savior.

and so!

If she wanted to save Baird Alves, she only had to run away with Baird Alves.

·······

When the soreness and sting in Ace's eyes subsided a little, allowing him to see his surroundings vaguely!

Monroe had long since disappeared with Baird Alves.

Leverage familiarity with the terrain.

Monroe easily found a hidden mountain path that was not easily discovered, and quickly moved away from Ace.

And this time.

Baird Alves, who was taken by Monroe, also released his demon form and returned to the old priest!

Ace, who clearly sensed Baird Alves and Monroe's departure route through the sight of Se Haki, rubbed his still sore eyes with some strange thoughts.

[Those two guys, have you forgotten that I will meet Wense Haki? 】

Seeing, hearing, and color domineering can sense the enemy without any eyes.

Moreover, it is more detailed than the information captured by the naked eye.

Therefore, the escape route that Monroe thought was hidden was "seen" by Ace, who was aware of it, and it was right in front of him. There was no difference.

"It's really strange. If Monroe doesn't know the domineering power of seeing and hearing, how can that old guy Baird Alves not know it?"

"How come this guy hasn't reminded Monroe yet? Could it be that this guy hasn't thought of it yet?"

Thinking of that old guy Baird Alves, who is obviously a lot older, but his conspiracy was easily discovered by Monroe and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but he didn't notice it at all!

Ace suddenly felt inexplicably that this seemed... very reasonable.

shook his head.

After waiting for a while, when his eyes could see things a little, Ace just raised one leg and wanted to chase the opponent in the direction of escape.

The pervasive domineering aura of seeing and hearing.

Suddenly, the navy soldiers were discovered at the foot of the Moonlight Monastery, who were besieged by thousands of church knights and more and more civilians who were arriving.

Faced with enemies that are several times larger than oneself, and there are more and more enemies.

The defense of the navy brought by Ace was also somewhat shaky.

The group of marines brought by Ace are elite, and in a one-on-one fight, they can easily pick off several members of the Knights of the Moonlight Church.

But reality is not a one-on-one fight.

And the ammunition they brought ashore this time was limited.

If he is attacked a few more times by those fanatical Knights soldiers, it may not take long.

In the navy, heavy casualties will begin to occur.

After Ace sensed this situation, he temporarily gave up his plan to pursue Monroe and Baird Alves without hesitation.

Instead, he flew towards the Moonlight Monastery.

In Ace's heart, even a hundred Baird Alves were not as important as the lives of the two hundred elite naval soldiers under his command.

Baird Alves can pursue him later!

But over at Moonlight Monastery, if he goes too late, it will be his lovely men who die.

"call!"

"Fortunately, I just left an aura on Baird Alves. With that aura, he can still sense Baird Alves's position in a short period of time."

After silently glancing in the direction where Monroe fled with Baird Alves, Ace took a breath.

Then he sped up and rushed towards the Moonlight Monastery outside Greenland City.

···········

Outside Greenland.

But more and more people learned that the Moonlight Church had been attacked.

In Greenland City, those courageous civilians who had not yet extinguished their passion picked up the weapons at hand and spontaneously surged towards the foot of the Moonlight Monastery.

Tens of thousands of people were running together, and the sound of countless footsteps was like a grand scene, shaking the entire mountain range.

Before anyone arrived, such a huge movement had already caused the entire country to shake!

At the foot of Chandni Monastery.

At this time, the original battle had already entered a fever pitch.

As previously ordered by Baird Alves.

More and more members of the four major knights came quickly from distant ports.

After more and more people on both sides fell, the situation had reached a level that could no longer be contained.

If one of the parties hadn't fallen, this battle would never have stopped.

Chandni Monastery is at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Rolling dust filled the air, and countless figures appeared vaguely there. Countless footsteps combined together, roaring like thunder, shaking the sky and the earth.

Those are all Moonlight Church believers who came spontaneously, as well as ordinary civilians in Greenland City.

These civilians, armed with weapons such as poles and wooden sticks, clamored crazily to eliminate all those bastards who dared to attack the Moonlight Church.

Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Tens of thousands of civilians, even if they are in chaos, have no one to manage them.

On the battlefield, it will also give people a feeling of soldiers approaching the city and an army pressing down on the territory.

In the navy's defense circle.

Julian Joan, the adjutant on Ace's ship, looked a little ugly when he saw more and more people and Knights soldiers.

Tens of thousands versus two hundred?

With so many people, even one punch per person can easily knock them all down.

"This time... we are really in trouble!"

Because of the delay caused by the arrival of soldiers from the Famine Knights and several other knights.

At this time, their navy could not retreat even if they wanted to.

In the navy's defense circle, several marines who were hit by stray bullets or hacked by knives saw their bodies begin to tremble slightly through the gaps in the crowd and the huge shaking movement on the ground.

After a long time, one of them, a little fat man who was afraid of death, shouted with a sad face: "Vice Captain, leave us alone. You retreat first. If we don't retreat, even you won't be able to retreat!"

"fart!"

Julian Qiong said angrily: "We have been unable to evacuate for a long time. You little fat guy doesn't understand, so don't yell at me. If we could evacuate, I would have led people to evacuate, and I wouldn't care about you, a little fat guy." Fatty lives or dies!"

"what!"

The little fat man who originally thought that the other party did not retreat was to take care of the wounded, his mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he looked at the other party with a look of disbelief.

After scolding the little fat man!

Julian Qiong kept raising his head and looking at the place where Emperor Yan exploded in the distance. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes: "Boss, why don't you come back? If you don't come back, you will probably give us Collecting the body."

········

Seeing the Knights of the Moonlight Church coming for reinforcements in the distance and the civilians holding various weapons getting closer and closer, Julian Qiong raised his right hand slightly.

I plan to take advantage of the first wave to have a wave of hate.

As long as those people come within his shooting range, Julian Qiong will drop his palm without hesitation.

Use the musket to send away some of the enemies.

As for whether there are any innocent people among them.

Julian Jean could no longer care.

and!

Since this group of people choose to rush out and become their enemies, then be prepared to die!

He never considered himself to be a rigid person.

The Navy has never been a charity either.

In his opinion, the lives of himself and the group of companions around him are much more precious than the lives of those fanatical believers and knights of the Moonlight Church.

···········

In the distance near the foot of the mountain, a huge crowd looked through the gap and saw the group of marines trapped at the foot of the mountain, and they immediately let out a loud shout.

"It's this group of bastard marines who want to conquer the Holy Mountain! All young and old men, follow me and stand shoulder to shoulder to destroy these bastards!"

"Ah! Navy, I remembered. Not long ago, I saw a navy inquiring about information about the Moonlight Church. It turns out they are these bastards."

"Wait for me, let's all come together to protect the monastery and kill these blasphemous navy..."
