Shanks Would Want to Punch Someone If He Heard This
On the Big Top, Galdino looked on in despair as the Marine warship sped towards them.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me! I was already pushing my limits to survive!"
Galdino covered his face.
"No, there must be another way!"
Just when it seemed that there was always a way out, a thick fog suddenly rose from the sea as Galdino racked his brains.
My ultimate technique: Cloud Formation.
Akali's trip accompanying Tahm Kench on his business trip was worthwhile.
Her W skill hasn't reached level 5 Awakening yet, so it can't create a stable and long-lasting fog of war.
However, even a small-scale, brief fog was enough for Galdino.
He certainly couldn't expect the sea fog, common in coastal areas, to help him escape.
However, that's enough for him to do a lot of sneaky things.
Miss Goldenweek, best of luck!
Taking advantage of the fog, Galdino grabbed the hostage and jumped into the escape pod, then used his candle powers to create a high-speed spinning propeller.
"Haha, with the Big Top as bait, no one will notice me anymore!"
However, just as he thought this, a beam of bright light enveloped the small boat.
The searchlights and fog lights from the Twitch accurately locked onto Galdino's small boat.
Under the intense light, not only the navy aboard the Twitch, but also the Celestial Dragons' servants and a few bystanders on the shore could clearly see Galdino's whereabouts.
Damn it!
Galdino sensed something was wrong and had no choice but to speed up.
However, he suddenly noticed that the scumbags on the shore who had been cursing him were now letting out screams of terror.
What's going on?
Galdino looked around; the thick fog had largely dissipated, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Could it be that...
Galdino lowered his head, and suddenly every hair on his body stood on end.
A huge shadow could be seen beneath the water's surface, gradually approaching.
Moreover, as the shadow rose higher, its size increased.
Finally, it emerged from the water, and the huge wave that broke the surface capsized the small lifeboat.
Fortunately, Saint Charlos, that fatso, finally proved his worth at this moment.
Just like in the original story, when Gecko Moria fell into the sea and became a kayak to save his three subordinates, Saint Charlos was now floating on the water like a life-saving airbag.
Galdino, sitting on Saint Charlos's belly, had no time to rejoice.
He stared in horror at the monster before him.
This thing is unlike any of the Sea Kings in any picture books.
Its body is covered with thorns, encased in a hard chitinous shell. It has a ferocious head like a centipede, with a pair of thick fangs followed by a dense array of sharp teeth.
In short, this Sea Kings, or rather, this giant sea monster, looks as if it came from another dimension.
Third Brother's intuition was correct. Whether in the world of One Piece or the Valoran, the creature before him belonged to an invasive and harmful species—a void creature.
Cho’Gath, the Void Terror, bared his fangs before the world for the first time.
This thing is far more terrifying than the Banana Crocodile that the Third Brother had to face in the original timeline.
When he opened his blood-red maw and lunged at Third Brother and Kayak Saint Charlos, everyone held their breath.
The Celestial Dragons' servants on the shore all collapsed to the ground.
However, at that moment, a dark red figure flashed past like a gust of wind.
The giant jaws slammed down, waves crashed against the shore, and the scene froze.
Third Brother disappeared from the spot.
The sea monster locked eyes with a young, steely-looking navy man.
The navy officer was holding Saint Charlos in his arms.
"Get out of here!"
The young navy man roared at the behemoth.
It was only then that people noticed that his left arm was completely empty.
If a certain Shanks, who would bet his arm on the new era, were here, he would surely find this scene strangely familiar.
Cho’Gath scoffed at Darius's angry rebuke.
Do you think a level 11 Cho'Gath with countless stacks of his ultimate would be afraid of a level 5 Darius?
I'll stand here and let you unleash your Bloodrage, but even if you bleed, my health will regenerate faster than you can bleed!
But there's nothing we can do.
The master's will is supreme and cannot be disobeyed.
Faced with Darius's provocation, he had no choice but to follow the script, displaying a human-like expression of fear before turning and diving back into the sea.
"A hero! This is a true naval hero!"
He saved the Celestial Dragons with his own arm!
Among the onlookers who dared to remain at the scene was a reporter.
His camera shutter clicked wildly, snapping over a dozen photos of Darius bravely rescuing the Celestial Dragons.
He had already prepared a draft of the news report and was preparing to interview the young navy officer. If he could also get a few words from the Celestial Dragons, that would be even better.
However, based on this journalist's decades of experience, it's best to avoid getting these Celestial Dragons to speak.
However, at that moment, they saw the young marine who had driven back the giant Sea Beast move.
He dragged Saint Charlos with one hand and swam towards the warship.
However, something about this Saint Charlos just doesn't seem right.
With only one hand left, and having to swim and support someone, one can imagine the posture he must have been in: pulling on Saint Charlos while swinging a giant swing.
This swing had a serious effect; all the Celestial Dragons slaves went black and fainted.
Because their master was only half left, and had long since died.
Throughout the entire ordeal, recruit Dreylers only managed to save half of Saint Charlos.
They were saved, but not completely.
"I'm so sorry everyone, I'm so sorry to the Celestial Dragons of Holy Land Mary Geoise, we're late!"
The Twitch landed.
Garen, with half of Saint Charlos's body suspended by a rope, gave a sorrowful interview in remembrance.
The newspaper reporter who had been taking photos throughout the entire process suddenly discovered that so many colleagues had unexpectedly emerged from various corners and alleys.
He couldn't even squeeze in.
"Reporter from Big Bird News, please ask your question first!"
Garen pointed to a young woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Alice was originally an intern reporter for Big News Morgans' World Economy News Paper.
At her original newspaper, Alice was just a nobody.
Under the editor-in-chief's exploitation, she not only had to work overtime until very late every day, but she also couldn't even sign her own name on her work, and her monthly salary was extremely meager.
Two months ago, Alice heard from a senior colleague that a new media company called Big Bird News was hiring.
Alice initially didn't think much of it.
She had absolutely no idea what new media was.
One day, after spending three whole nights writing a press release, Alice finally snapped and, after the deputy editor signed it with his own name, she packed her bags...
Two weeks later, she became a top reporter for Big Bird News, reporting directly to Editor-in-Chief Ms. Vivi.
Recalling the anxious feeling she had at that time, Alice felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
She bit her lip, knowing she couldn't let Editor-in-Chief Vivi down.
"Major Garen, why were you and your Root Division able to participate in the rescue operation for the Celestial Dragons at the first opportunity?"
"Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence?"
"Really? I don't believe it."
"Haha, opportunity always favors the prepared mind, and this certainly can't be simply called a coincidence."
In fact, under the wise leadership of Brigadier General Tucci, our base has made patrol and defense a routine management practice, meticulously implementing it in our daily work, and earnestly fulfilling our duty to serve the world's nobility and facilitate the lives of ordinary people...
In short, the ability to discover and handle the kidnapping of Saint Charlos in such a timely manner is inseparable from the usual efforts of our Root Division.
Alice got the most opportunities to ask questions, which made her colleagues extremely envious.
Garen then called on several major news outlets and answered their questions.
It included, but was not limited to, promoting the spirit of the Root Division, recounting the East Blue experience, and discussing the current situation where various Supernovas are frequently appearing on the high seas, and the security situation is not optimistic.
"This criminal who assaulted Celestial Dragons is extremely vicious. We have arrested his accomplices, and the results of the subsequent interrogations will be released on the Navy's political platform. We hope our journalist friends will pay close attention."
Besides the commander Garen, today's star is undoubtedly the rookie Darius, who lost an arm.
"I have staked my arm on the honor of the Celestial Dragons."
"Although Saint Charlos was reduced to half a body, although Saint Charlos was swollen like a pig's head from being soaked in seawater, although Saint Charlos was beaten into a mangled mess, he left with the honor of Celestial Dragons..."
I am proud of my job!
"I swear by the justice of the Navy that if any of the Celestial Dragons ever face such danger again, I will still stand up and protect them just like this!"
At the same time.
A sea area dozens of kilometers away from the Sabaody Archipelago.
Terrified of the void, Cho’Gath slowly rose to the surface of the sea.
He suddenly coughed, spitting out a small white ball, then turned and swam towards the deep sea.
The white ball is described as small in relation to Cho’Gath's size.
It is actually a wax sphere with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
The Goubuli, billowing thick smoke, slowly approached from afar.
Yamato complained incessantly that her little sidekick, Ma Qiao, had disappeared halfway through the trip, causing her to buy half the things she needed.
However, when Ma Qiao pulled out a bottle of improved health vodka from his pocket, Yamato adopted the expression of a puppy begging for food.
Ma Qiao shook his head; that was why he wasn't preparing a gift for the little white-haired boy.
This girl is just like her father; she's happy as long as there's alcohol.
"Huh!"
Yamato sipped his fine wine, he suddenly noticed a white sphere floating on the sea. "What is that?"
I don't know!
Ma Qiao scratched his head, pointed to the spiked club next to Yamato, and said, "It's probably a golden egg that the shop uses to attract customers. Let's fish it out and smash it."
