Pirates' Max Level System

Hey, where does the blood come from?

You probably would never have imagined that when the swordsman blocked the muscular man's fist just now, the blade of the sword outside was facing outwards.

In other words, the muscular man's fist hit the blade directly. At this moment, the muscular man was hiding his bleeding right fist while smiling at Rhodes.

Perhaps sensing the moderates' doom, the old woman and the cement demon slowly moved towards them. Since they were about to receive their reward, they had to give their boss a little face.

As the cement demon freed himself from the fight with the man in the suit, the power and cruelty of the demon known as him gradually became apparent.

In a distance of more than ten meters, more than thirty cement sculptures appeared as the cement demon moved. These sculptures were all alive just a minute ago.

For every person touched by the cement demon, the gray color of the cement spread like a plague at the point of contact until the entire person was petrified.

Every time he petrified someone, the Cement Demon would criticize his new work, saying things like the material was too ugly, the expression wasn't scary enough, or the eyes were too empty.

He thought he was creating art, but in fact he was just playing with life. Only the devil would call playing with life art.

They both harvest lives, and although the old woman does it in a very bloody way, either cutting off hands or feet, I don’t know why I still feel that the cement demon is more evil.

At this time, the old woman accidentally chopped off a sculpture, and people could see clearly what was inside the sculpture.

A large amount of blood flowed out from the cut. Those who turned into sculptures were not completely petrified. The middle part still retained human flesh and blood.

This means that the person who turned into a sculpture did not die immediately, but took his last breath after struggling powerlessly.

Chapter 587: Choice

After reaching this conclusion, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the Cement Demon's cruelty. Both radicals and moderates consciously stood three or four meters away from the Cement Demon.

Such a result naturally made the Cement Demon very dissatisfied. Others were in the mood for creation, so how could they be without materials around them?

So a more crazy hunt began.

The CP member, the man in a suit, was helpless in this situation. He was seriously injured and could only barely protect the moderate group of members.

Before the swordsman comes back, trying to fight three people alone is absolutely seeking death.

"This man is so disgusting, Qin Luo, let's kill him later." Taotu, who saw this scene through the video phone bug on the second floor, couldn't help but say.

Beside her, Qin Luo, Derek and his son, and their guard captain all nodded.

A lot of sweat broke out on Old Derek's head. It was definitely not hot considering the current temperature, so Old Derek was sweating coldly because he was scared.

His son was in an even worse state. His face was pale, and he held his mouth with one hand, looking very uncomfortable.

Before some sour and smelly substances appeared in the room, Qin Luo waved his hand, and a red bead appeared in his hand. Some vitality rippled into Derek's nose, instantly relieving his symptoms.

Qin Luo discovered that this kind of stored vitality had many benefits. It could not only stimulate wound healing, but also had miraculous effects on some adverse physical symptoms.

Ignoring Derek's thanks, Qin Luo followed Taotu's words and replied, "No problem. I always kill any monster with twisted humanity I see."

Qin Luo thought that it was almost time for him to take action. The strength of both sides was almost depleted, and it was almost time to close the net.

Just now, Hozuki Suigetsu and Hoshigaki Kisame sent a message through Den Den Mushi, saying that all members of the Guardian Family were rescued without any omission.

Qin Luo didn't need to worry about the lives of people like Rhodes, and just let things take their course.

The most labor-saving way is to wait until Rhodes and other radicals have wiped out the moderates, and then Qin Luo will come on the scene to deal with the radicals.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the speed of change.

Knowing that his situation was not good, the moderate old man Edwin signaled the moderate side to reveal their last trump card before he took his last breath.

I only heard the old man say tremblingly:

"Second Battalion Commander, where's your fucking Italian gun? Pull it over here."

Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.

This is the truth.

The old man, knowing the situation was extremely dire, whispered, "Execute Plan C. Let our gunners bombard the entire Derek villa."

The other moderate members trembled and nearly collapsed to the ground after hearing this. This old man was about to die, and he actually wanted to drag everyone down with him.

Even the man in the suit couldn't help but look at the old man again after hearing this. This old guy was so cruel that he didn't even intend to let his own people go.

Before the battle tonight, the moderates only discussed two plans: Plan A and Plan B. In Plan A, everyone would break into the Drake family's mansion and eliminate all the radicals at the banquet.

Now that Plan A was no longer feasible, the theoretical approach was to proceed to Plan B. This was for the moderates to fight and retreat, leading the radicals' pursuers into an ambush. There, the moderates had deployed sufficient artillery and explosives to ensure that the radicals would not return.

The so-called Plan C is an extension of Plan B, which is actually a rejected plan.

Plan C was proposed by the man in the suit. He took advantage of the faction's control of most of South Hilllove's artillery and used artillery to directly blockade the villa area.

As long as sufficient ammunition and artillery are prepared, the villa area will be reduced to ashes in a series of artillery fire. For details, please refer to the Navy's massacre order.

Such a plan was too crazy, and many moderate members strongly opposed it.

The "decree of genocide" wasn't just three words. The lives at stake were countless. Not counting the distant past, the tragic events of O'Hara were still fresh in our minds.

Even after so much time had passed, the island where O'Hara had once stood remained a scorched earth, devoid of life. The villa complex was the symbol of the Chamber of Commerce in South Hilllove, and its destruction would be a significant blow to its image.

In addition to the radicals, the moderates also deployed many of their own troops and mercenaries in the villa area, plus some other innocent people. Do they just not care about the lives of these people?

The most important thing is who will take the blame once Plan C is implemented.

These people are called moderates because they have a relatively high standard. While they cherish their reputation and reputation, they are also indecisive and soft-hearted.

The man in the suit naturally despised this situation.

In the end, this proposal was shelved, but unexpectedly, old man Edwin secretly arranged it.

"But, in this case, we can... Actually, we can, we can first..." The other moderates hesitated and wanted to object to the old man's order, but after thinking for a long time, they could not find a more suitable solution.

"Idiots, do you think we can still run away with three high-level fighters on the opposite side?" The old man lying on the ground spit out blood again because of excitement.

"Um...this..."

No one answered this question because the answer was obvious.

"What are you worried about? Even if we die, hasn't the successor of our family already been chosen? As long as we eliminate all the radical forces here, Nanshierlaf will still be ruled by our family. For the future of our family, what's the harm in making some sacrifices?"

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, speechless. The old man said it lightly, saying he only had a few years left to live, and sacrificing for the family was fine, but we wanted to live a few more years.

Seeing no response, the old man continued, "And I'm already prepared. I have all the letters the Drake family sent to both sides. When the time comes, we can put the blame for the bombardment of the villa area on the Drake family. We'll say they're setting up a trap on both sides, hoping to use this method to gain control of South Hilllove."

The people around couldn't help but gasp, looking at the old man as if he were a monster. He had never intended to let the Drake family have an easy time from the beginning.

Time was running out. As the cement demon and the old woman continued to kill, fewer and fewer soldiers stood in front of the moderate members. The old man's constant coughing also urged them to make a decision.

From the time the old man proposed to the time the decision was made, it took two minutes, one minute, maybe even less.

Chapter 588: Py Transaction

To sacrifice heroically or to live in humiliation, under normal circumstances, these people would choose the latter.

But there is a more serious problem. Will the other party give them a chance to compromise?

The moderate members looked at the old woman whose flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and then looked at the demon who was like a living sculpture. The answer was no.

So from the very beginning, they had only one choice.

As the old man expected, these people finally agreed to his plan and planned to die together with everyone in the Drake mansion.

What Drake family, what Rhodes family, in the future, Nanhilllove will have only one voice, and his family will be the master of this voice.

When no one noticed, the old man made a scissors gesture with his trembling fingers towards the man in the suit of his CP.

This was by no means a witty remark before death, but rather represented the two conditions that the World Government had previously promised him.

Nanshierlaf's artillery was inferior to the navy's in both quality and quantity. If the four admiral candidates tried to escape, the artillery would be unable to hit them. Not to mention the incredibly fast old woman.

These five people were not in the range of dying together from the beginning.

The target of the artillery fire was the Drake family's mansion and other lives within a surrounding area.

After Rhodes' death, these masters who did not get their rewards would at most cause a big commotion in South Hill Raff and then leave.

At the same time, Edwin's family will take control of South Hillraf with the support of the World Government and the Navy as the savior.

If all goes well, within a year or two, the Edwin family can become the king of Nanhilllaf.

Yes, the family behind Edwin plans to build their own country in South Hillraf.

This idea was unimaginable in the merchant city of South Hilllove, but Rhodes's series of restless actions made this idea possible.

Just like a shark with a keen sense of smell, Rhodes thought he was being discreet, but in fact Edwin had already sensed the storm coming.

As a price, after establishing the kingdom, Edwin's family will invite both the navy and the World Government, Nanshirlaf. At the same time, the new country will become a member of the World Government.

Since the Navy announced its large-scale withdrawal from the New World and was subjected to crazy attacks from the newspapers and media, its image and prestige have plummeted.

The focus of the Navy and the World Government's work in the next few decades will be on the first half of the Grand Line and the four sea areas of the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. They urgently need to rebuild their image in these places.

After the envoy of the Edwin family explained his purpose, the two sides hit it off and decided to conduct a PY transaction on the spot.

The CP's suited man nodded knowingly, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time. These things were just for the two of them to know, and there was no need to make them public.

The man in the suit naturally had no objection to Edwin's decision. This way, his mission wouldn't be considered a failure. As long as he led the Edwin family to fight the main forces sent by the Navy and the World Government, he wouldn't be afraid even if the number of masters on the other side doubled.

After seeing the man in the suit nod, the old man closed his bloody eyes and his life was gone.

At his age, an injury of this magnitude would have been fatal without immediate medical attention. He'd only been able to hold on until now thanks to his determination. Now that it was over, it was a relief for him; at least he no longer had to endure that pain.

Many people noticed Edwin's death.

Rhodes seemed to sense something and immediately looked at Edwin's body.

The death of the opposing leader was undoubtedly good news for the radicals, but before Rhodes could be happy, he felt a sense of crisis.

Why did the old man die with a smile on his face? Why didn't the other side collapse? What kind of trump cards did they prepare?

These three questions revealed Rhodes' inner uneasiness.

Doubts came and went quickly, and the whistling sound in the air revealed the answers to everything.

The whistling sound was so familiar. As someone who had lived on the ship for several years, Rhodes could tell it was the sound of a cannonball being fired even from hundreds of meters away, and could even roughly tell the location of the cannon.

This Edwin actually dared to bombard the mansion, intending to drag everyone down with him. Rhode immediately understood Edwin's intention, because if it were him, he would do the same.

Rhodes looked at Edwin's body angrily. He didn't have time to bother the remaining moderates. He had to solve the crisis at hand first.

You must choose between the two strategies of running and hiding immediately.

It might be too late to run. Based on Rhodes' understanding of Edwin, the old man would most likely plow the entire villa area with artillery shells.

Of course, if the old woman was willing to take him along, that was another matter. However, thinking of her self-willed and crazy behavior, Rhode gave up on the spot.

Then the only option left is to hide.

Old Drake just disappeared through a secret passage, which means that the Drake family’s base camp is located in a basement or even a secret passage.

Rhodes immediately mobilized his men to find the entrance to the basement. As for other things, he would consider them after the bombardment ended.

...0

The first ones to suffer misfortune were the mercenaries outside. The first round of bombardment was often intended as a test, so its accuracy was quite unreliable.

Most of the shells aimed at the Drake family's mansion landed on the nearby roads or other villas.

At least three of the mercenaries fighting outside were killed in this wave of bombardment, and the rest were almost injured.

No one intends to continue fighting. No amount of money is more important than life. That is not professionalism, but stupidity.

The mercenaries swarmed into the villas nearby. Even though these villas would be reduced to ruins in the next round of artillery fire, it was at least a psychological comfort.

The Drake family mansion wasn't unscathed either. A cannonball blew its distinctive chimney in half, blasting many rooms on the second and third floors into intrusion. Then, in the flames, the entire room returned to its original state.

The Drake family’s mansion is indeed nice, and it doesn’t look shaky even in such an explosion.

The room where Qin Luo and his companions were was not hit by the shells, but they still felt the earth-shaking sensation.

The Derek father and son looked extremely grim. They weren't injured, but the reason was heartache. This house meant a lot to their family, and it had been passed down and renovated by generations to its current state. But was it going to be destroyed in their generation?

The whistling sound of the second round of artillery fire rang out again, as they did not want to give Rhodes more opportunities and time to escape.

Chapter 589: Adding Special Effects

The artillery fire arrived as expected, and the black shells whistled down towards the Drake family's mansion.

No one doubted that this round of artillery shells would rip everything in the mansion area to smithereens. The Drake family couldn't turn their ancestral home into a fortress.
