Pirate's Swordsman

I don't know whether it was because the blade pressed against the throat was too cold, or because Kidd's fierce expression acted as a deterrent. The two well-trained elite marines looked at each other and had to step back cautiously. ,

"Why, Your Highness the Princess won't go back?"

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Kanser's expression turned cold: "In that case, if there is any accidental damage later, don't blame me for being rude."

"You don't need to be polite to me."

Ivy retorted unceremoniously, but after seeing the eye-catching lieutenant general epaulettes on Kanser's shoulders, she suddenly hesitated. After a while, she looked up at Kanser and said calmly: "If you and I If you go back, can you let others go?"

"Oh," Kanser said softly, seeming to be moved, "It seems that I can't consider it."

"Miss Ivy"

"Sister Ivy"

"This guy is lying to you, don't fall for it"

On the side of the Gale Pirates, Drump, Kidd and others suddenly changed their expressions and couldn't help shouting.

"Don't shout."

Ivy gave Kidd a warning look with her eyes, then she tilted her head, lowered her voice as much as possible, and said to everyone: "Don't be stupid, that's a vice admiral like Stoloberg. We can't beat him. Wait. As long as he agrees to my conditions, you should run away quickly and go to sea as quickly as possible before the guy regrets his words. Don't look back."

"But" Kidd gritted his teeth and said with reluctance, "If you go back, you have to"

"It's okay."

Ivy pursed her lips and clenched her beautiful fingers hidden in her sleeves. Her fingertips were slightly white, but there was a smile on her face. "As long as everyone has a chance to survive, it's actually okay if I go back," she said. .”

"How could it be nothing?"

Ross also yelled angrily at this time, pulled out his sword with a clang, and said sternly: "At worst, you will die and I will live. If I really let you go back, what's the difference between letting you go and watching you die?"

"yes"

After getting along for several months, the relationship between the partners on the ship is no longer as strange as it was when they first came out of the dungeon, and everyone also knows something about Ivy.

Ever since Ivy's biological mother, the original queen of Goa Kingdom, passed away twelve years ago, and after the king married his new love, the young girl not only lacked maternal love and care in the palace since she was a child, but was also often bullied by her other brothers and sisters. And as he grows older, his situation becomes more and more difficult.

Although on the other hand, it was this situation that sharpened Ivy's temperament, so that she not only did not suffer from the noble princess disease, but also learned a lot of knowledge and skills by relying on the resources she fought for.

But no matter what, as long as she was in the palace, she was like a canary imprisoned, losing most of her personal freedom.

Especially at the beginning of this year, the king of Goa Kingdom actually hooked up with a certain family of Tianlong people, and planned to use Ivy as a bargaining chip to betrothed to the future heir of that family, Charles Saint, this kind of life is even more disturbing. Desperate.

And this was the trigger that led Ivy to escape from the palace.

To the north of Whiskey Peak, atop a decaying bell tower covered with moss.

"Is it finally over again?"

A slim black-haired woman held her hat with her hands and silently stared at the square in the distance beside the huge bronze bell, her eyes full of calm.

Four hours ago, Brodeur, the captain of the Iron Sword Pirates, led his men in that square to fight against Hofmann's army, which was far more numerous than him.

Courage is commendable, but the huge gap in strength ultimately determines the final outcome from the beginning.

Therefore, after witnessing the formation of the Iron Sword Pirates completely collapse under the impact of that idiot Brock, the black-haired girl who was the leader of the Iron Sword Pirates abandoned these former members without any hesitation. "Partner", he turned around and retreated into the dark alley.

This is undoubtedly an act bordering on betrayal.

But who cares?

The black-haired woman named Nico Robin smiled faintly. As the only surviving remnant of O'Hara, she had been betrayed and betrayed by her partners ever since she narrowly escaped death from the Demon-Slaying Order fifteen years ago. Struggling to survive in the cracks of the world, the word partner, in her eyes, as her heart has gradually become colder, is just a chess piece used to coordinate her acting.

She is already twenty-three years old and is no longer the innocent girl she once was.

are used to it.

Her long black hair was gently blowing in the breeze. Robin's eyes swept over the pirates scurrying around in the nearby streets, and finally landed on Xiano and his party in the center of the square, surrounded by countless marines.

"It seems a little different," Robin muttered to himself as his eyebrows moved slightly.

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying because they were too far away, I could still see at a glance that the pirates did not flinch in the face of a vice-admiral-level presence, but instead united tightly together.

There was no retreat and no betrayal.

This seemed to be the kind of team atmosphere she had always longed for. For a moment, it even touched the warmth that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time.

however.

Sensibility is sensibility, but reason is more important after all. In Robin's opinion, there is basically no possibility for the pirate group to survive being blocked by the Vice Admiral.

Even the best ending is to be imprisoned in Impel Down City, and from then on, he will be accompanied by prison and darkness for many years.

Pity

With a slight sigh in her heart, Robin pressed the brim of her hat and was about to go down the stairs when she suddenly felt a chill creeping up her back. Her pupils shrank and she twisted her body suddenly, her whole body immediately looked like a ghost. and disappeared at the top of the bell tower.

boom

The next moment, a sword energy roared over, and the huge impact directly cut the entire bell tower in half. The ancient bell that had been hanging silently on Whiskey Peak for hundreds of years was instantly torn into pieces, and the exploded bronze fragments were scattered. All over the place.

"so close."

A few meters away, on the roof of a four-story attic, Robin's figure appeared again. She was breathing heavily, and turned around to look at the completely destroyed clock tower behind her, with a trace of cold sweat dripping down her temples.

This blow was too sudden and extremely fast. If she hadn't been walking on the edge of life and death for more than ten years and had a vague sense of danger, she might have met the same fate as that bronze bell. .

Who slashed that sword?

Looking slightly sullenly towards the center of the square, he met the expressionless Kanser's eyes. Robin felt a chill in his heart, crossed his hands on his chest, and activated the fruit power without hesitation.

"Thirty-three flowers blooming with white feathers"

Silently, more than thirty pairs of arms emerged from behind her sides, stacked and stretched like white wings.

laugh.

After gently fanning, Robin's body flew off the roof, swooping towards the north of Whiskey Peak, and completely disappeared from sight after a while.
