Chapitre 123: Conflagration
Queen fully gets immersed in it every time he sees the evil armies of Germa 66 get defeated, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Reading his comics is really not in vain.
They used to be members of the same research group and other members all had some knowledge of what the others were researching, and "Sora: Warrior of the Sea" was also adapted from real events by members of the World Government.
The protagonist, "Sora,"and the transforming robot and seagull represent the Marines, while Judge and others are the villains. Although the plot has been heavily modified, the villains always end up getting defeated.
This is to create a strong and just image for the Marines and leave a profound impact on children's hearts.
However, Germa's abilities were all realistic. Queen had some knowledge of what Judge was researching, and seeing the description of the finished product in the comic gave him ideas for researching that particular technology.
For him, this was not just pastime reading material, but also a research report.
Moreover, he didn't need to go out of his way to buy it. He just has to wait for News Coo to deliver it to his doorstep. Serialized publications were not part of the regular content, but for an extra 20 Berries, one could buy the complete version. They follow a small-profit, high-sales volume approach.
Several individuals happily pushed the handcart back to the ship and began to tidy up the deck, while the battle on King's side was still ongoing.
It was not that the enemy was too strong, but that these people were sticking to him like a piece of plaster.
He could choose to just leave by flying away, but based on these people's current state, they would definitely follow him. The things he purchased may not have returned to the ship yet. He couldn't just abandon them, could he?
Moreover, he was powerless against Zephyr earlier and if he couldn't even deal with these guys and let them escape towards Arceus, he would have really failed in his duty.
"Do you see that clock tower?"
"I can see it. What are you going to do?"
"Wait there obediently." King flicked his tail hard and threw Nightin onto the top of the clock tower.
Although she was the ship's doctor, she also doubled as a fighter on board. Her physical skills are not too bad. With King's sufficient strength, she smoothly landed on the clock tower. After he threw her out, King also became more agile in his movements.
"Burning Meteor Emperor!"
The size of Rock Slide can be adjusted. Wrapped in flames, the rocks fell from the sky and began to indiscriminately attack the ground. Some people were still shooting at King from behind houses as cover, but now King's choice was to destroy both the people and the houses together.
There were no ordinary residents here from the start. This encirclement was not something that could be set up quickly. It's likely that the people here have already been replaced quietly overnight.
Bullets from firearms no longer have any effect on King in his current state. His Beast Form was engulfed in flames, causing ordinary weapons to be unable to injure him. So, the battle turned into a one-sided massacre.
King occasionally shot down flames from the sky, and under the illumination of the fire, he looked like an evil dragon, destroying without restraint.
"Conflagration... Conflagration, no wonder he's called Conflagration."
Although rocks occasionally appeared in the flames, the impact of the flames on humans was far stronger than that of stones.
Only at this moment did they remember King's bounty. In addition to his name and the pirate crew he belongs to, he was given the title of "Conflagration," a monster named after a disaster.
Fear surged from the bottom of their hearts. At this point, they had lost the courage to fight and their bodies instinctively tried to leave this place. But then, their field of vision spun around, and the last thing that flashed through their minds was a headless corpse lying in the street.
"Is that... me?"
"Boss King! We're here!"
Different gunshots began to sound from the periphery. Since the Beasts Pirates' main island was an industrial Winter Island, they could produce even better weapons. Although these weapons were intended for external trade, they had also become widespread within their own pirate crew.
Due to the different structure of their gun barrels, their gunshot sounds were even more sharp and clear.
But just as that smart person had thought earlier, this battle did not take too much time. By the time they arrived, only the final clean-up work remained to be done.
However, the battle did not come to an end. Although those people had already been defeated, they did not flee towards the seemingly safe area, but instead ran towards the area where the fire was burning the most severely.
Fire and floods have no mercy, and the way these people charged into the sea of flames was too abnormal. When things go against the norm, there must be something unusual behind it. King waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to stop pursuing them.
"Hey, you've been living here for a while, right? Is there anything unusual over there?"
Nightin jumped down from the clock tower in a few leaps. At 80 years old, she was able to use drugs to recover her youthful vigor for a short period of time and briefly fight against Hancock. Now she was in her forties, and even if she was not a specialized combatant, her strength was much superior than that of an average pirate.
However, she was powerless in a group battle. Her strength had not yet reached the level where she could ignore the number of people and heavy firearms.
"Over there, there are only a few pharmacies and nothing else, but I remember it being a dead end. Why would they run towards that direction?"
She was stationed high up and could look far away. Since the walls of the clock tower could block ordinary bullets, and they were under King's attack, the bounty hunters didn't have time to operate the cannons, and even if someone tried to climb up, they were no match for Nightin in the narrow passage. Therefore, she had time to observe the escape direction of those bounty hunters.
At this moment, the flames burning around them suddenly extinguished. It wasn't just a few flames, but all of the flames in the area extinguished in an instant.
The people who had already fled turned back again, and behind them was a strange person with a stomach that seemed to have turned into a blackboard with the words "flame" and "extinguish" written on it.
Humans cannot sprout blackboards on their bellies, this obviously belongs to a devil fruit ability.
The strength of the bounty hunters varies in strength, and although they rarely make an appearance, they are an indispensable part of the New World.
When pirates catch other pirates but don't want to recruit them and feel that keeping them is useless, they will hand them over to the Marines in exchange for a bounty. As pirates, they naturally cannot do this by themselves, so bounty hunters often act as intermediaries in this process.
Being a bounty hunter is already a profession with a very low entry barrier, and their professionalism varies greatly. However, one thing is for sure: strength is crucial. If one wants to survive in the New World, they must have a few talented individuals on their side, and this person is the backbone of this group of bounty hunters.
However, he is normally only responsible for collecting money and only intervenes when there is an issue that they cannot solve. As long as the payment is satisfactory, he is willing to negotiate any business deal.
Looking closely, the only intact building in the area affected by King's flames was the small house, which was so intact that it was out of place with its surroundings.
"A criminal with a 300 million Berries bounty, no wonder you couldn't handle him. According to our agreement, his 300 million belongs to me, and you will also owe me another 100 million Berries."
