"How is that possible?"
The sea areas near Reverse Mountain and Twin Capes.
Although this sword energy was not Dark King Rayleigh's strongest blow, a blow he could easily block with his body could not be easily blocked by his Great Swordsman strength.
Moreover, this terrifying sword energy did not even cut Takenaka Kaguya's clothes. How could this not surprise Roger and others?
However, just when they were surprised, Takenaka Kaguya's speed increased again, and the effect of shaving under his feet brought him to Rayleigh's side in an instant.
"Bang bang bang!"
He punched three times in a row. Rayleigh was the first object to be attacked, so he didn't even react. He was punched in the chest, leaving a deep punch mark on his chest. He vomited blood and flew out.
There were only two people, Roger and Gaban. They reacted quickly. Although they were knocked away by the huge force, Takenaka Kaguya's fist only hit their weapons.
However, despite this, Roger, who had been hit by the kick just now, was hit again by this punch, and his energy and blood that had not had time to adjust surged up again, and the same mouthful of blood spurted out.
Only Gaban is slightly better, but in the previous battle, Gaban's defense was almost destroyed by Takenaka Kaguya.
As the three top combat powers of Roger Pirates flew out, the balance of victory in the battle also completely tipped to Takenaka Kaguya's side at this time.
On the other side of the battlefield, without Rayleigh and Gaban, the two Admiral-level combatants, the rest of Roger Pirates's crew combined are not enough to fight this guy Bullet.
In addition, Blue Ogre Dorry, Red Ogre Brogy and Crocodile joined the battle, so that in addition to the three pirates whom Takenaka Kaguya killed just now, two more pirates whose strength was about the Marine Vice Admiral level were killed by Bullet.
At this time, I glanced at the battle on Bullet's side. Takenaka Kaguya was quite satisfied. Although a good tiger could not stand up to a pack of wolves, Bullet was besieged by multiple Vice Admiral level pirates, so that he looked very embarrassed.
However, all he suffered were superficial injuries, which were nothing at all.
As for Crocodile and Dorry, their injuries are slightly more serious, but they are still capable of fighting.
Since he doesn't need to worry about the battle over there, Takenaka Kaguya will focus on Roger, Rayleigh and Gaban.
At this moment, looking at the miserable state of the three Roger, Takenaka Kaguya sneered in his heart. He wanted to try if he used all his strength here to kill Roger and make the so-called One Piece name disappear completely.
The violent killing intent was not concealed, and the already terrifying aura actually increased again.
On the opposite side, feeling the fear coming from Takenaka Kaguya, the eyes of Roger, Rayleigh and Gaban were filled with solemnity.
Suddenly, Takenaka Kaguya was just about to take action and send Roger back to the west. However, the next second, the entire ice layer suddenly shook, and a very huge black shadow actually pushed up the ice layer.
"What the hell, Twin Capes actually showed up like this Giant Sea Kings?" Takenaka Kaguya was surprised, and immediately prepared to use Hie Hie no Mi's ability to freeze Giant Sea Kings who was pushing up the ice layer.
However, he obviously underestimated the terror of Giant Sea Kings. Although Hie Hie no Mi's ability is already Awakening, Giant Sea Kings's body and own strength are extremely huge.
Therefore, before Hie Hie no Mi could completely freeze Giant Sea Kings's body, Sea King swallowed everyone except him in one bite.
"Humph, you damn beast, you actually ruined my plan. If you want to die, I will help you!" Takenaka Kaguya snorted coldly, and immediately Hand Seals his hands quickly.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
The next second, Giant Sea Kings's head, which had just plunged into the sea, was pushed out of the sea by a dozen trees with a diameter of ten meters.
The blood also dyed the surrounding pirates red at this moment.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya sneered, and was just about to continue taking action, to get rid of this Giant Sea Kings, and then find Roger and others and kill them.
As a result, I saw this Giant Sea Kings, regardless of his own life and death, struggled hard and tore off half of his head alive.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Not only that, just when Takenaka Kaguya was about to continue his attack and completely kill this Giant Sea Kings, he saw four figures flying out of the water.
Then, Giant Sea Kings jerked its tail hard, and then quickly dived into the deep sea.
"Damn Sea King!"
Takenaka Kaguya cursed secretly and quickly froze the sea again, allowing the four people Bullet who flew out to land safely on the ice.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
The four of them, Bullet and Crocodile, kept coughing. After coughing out the seawater in their abdominal cavities, they quickly got up and looked at Takenaka Kaguya's face filled with anger with pale faces.
"Alas!"
After a long time, Takenaka Kaguya sighed heavily. It can only be said that before Monkey D. Luffy, Roger was the protagonist of this world.
Otherwise, with the strength of the entire Roger Pirates, it is simply impossible to reach the top position of One Piece.
"Boss, what is going on? Twin Capes is the starting point of the first half of Grand Line. Logically speaking, Giant Sea Kings cannot exist here." Bullet was a little unhappy and expressed his inner thoughts to Takenaka Kaguya.
On the side, Crocodile also nodded and said, "Yes, Xuan Long Admiral. As far as I know, Giant Sea Kings is generally only in the sea areas near Calm Belt and Fish-Man Island, as well as in the middle and rear sections of Grand Line.
I didn't expect that we were about to defeat Roger Pirates and capture it, but we never imagined that we would encounter such a terrifying creature like Giant Sea Kings."
"I didn't expect it, maybe Roger Pirates shouldn't die.
But it doesn't matter, although Roger Pirates was not caught, it would be good to kill a few of their crew members." Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand, looked under the ice with anger in his eyes, and then said.
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. I was having a great time, but it was ruined by a beast like Sea King.
Then boss, what should we do next?" Bullet complained unhappily, then looked at Takenaka Kaguya and asked.
After hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya was silent for a moment, and then he said coldly, "Let's go to Twin Capes and see if Island Whale is still there?"
After that, Takenaka Kaguya lifted the ice around the sea, and quickly locked the ice under their feet through Hie Hie no Mi's ability.
Just like that, talking about the ocean current, the floating ice quickly moved towards Twin Capes.
Half an hour later, Takenaka Kaguya passed through Advanced Observation Haki, covering the surrounding sea area for hundreds of miles, including several kilometers deep underwater.
However, no matter how he searched, there was no trace of Island Whale Laboon.
In other words, there is no trace of Crocus.
Although we are not reconciled, everyone can only accept this reality.
"Go back!"
Takenaka Kaguya took back Observation Haki. Then he walked alone in the direction he came from before.
Because of the ocean current, I can no longer use the ice floes to move forward. I can only walk while controlling the Hie Hie no Mi ability to freeze the sea in front and create a road ahead.
A few hours later, let alone hundreds of miles away, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the calm sea, and then a huge figure emerged from the water.
The next second, a Giant Sea Kings body that was seriously injured, or whose life had almost disappeared, quickly emerged from the water.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Suddenly, three sword energy flew out from Giant Sea Kings's head, directly cutting a door-like opening on Giant Sea Kings's body.
"Crash!"
The sea water flows out, and a pirate ship quickly appears from the body of Giant Sea Kings along with the sea water.
"Hahahaha, come to life!"
At this moment, an excited laughter appeared from the cabin of the pirate ship, and then the door of the cabin was opened.
The first person to appear was Roger, who almost died in the hands of Takenaka Kaguya just now.
"Captain, we are alive, but Spencer and the others..."
At this time, Rayleigh's tired voice came from behind.
After a while, the five corpses were neatly placed on the deck. Roger Pirates The remaining people who were still alive all lowered their heads with painful expressions and mourned the death of their companions in silence.
After a long time, Roger said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this is the biggest crisis we Roger Pirates have encountered since we went to sea.
Our five companions have left us forever. I ask everyone to remember today. This is the day of shame for us Roger Pirates.
I, Roger, swear that one day, I will personally bring back Takenaka Kaguya's head to pay homage to Spencer's spirits in heaven."
Having said this, Roger turned to look at Rayleigh and said, "Rayleigh, find a nearby island, let's rest for a while first, and then continue sailing!"
"Yes, Captain!" Rayleigh didn't say much and agreed immediately.
After nightfall, on a desert island.
"Dr. Crocus, thank you for agreeing to come on our ship!"
At this moment, next to the campfire, Roger poured himself a sip of wine, and then sincerely thanked Crocus.
At this time, Crocus bandaged the last wound on Roger's body, and then naturally took the wine in Roger's hand and took a sip.
"I once owed my life to Sister Shakky. If it weren't for her, I would have died in the sea.
Shakky Sister asked me to board your ship, I can't refuse.
However, Captain Roger, if you want me to stay, then you'd better listen to me in the future.
I have checked your body, and it is basically impossible to cure it. With my medical skills, I can only guarantee that you will not die in front of me." Crocus shook his head and sighed.
Hearing this, Roger smiled, and then said helplessly, "Doctor Crocus, this is enough.
As long as I can ensure that I can successfully reach Laugh Tale, I don't expect anything else.
This is my life, I must accept it!"
"That's good, Captain, can I ask you a question?" Crocus nodded, then thought about it, and finally looked at Roger and asked.
"Of course, once you get on the ship, you will be our companion. I have no secrets to hide from my companion." Roger nodded.
"What's going on over there at Giant Sea Kings? I've lived in Twin Capes for many years, and there's no way Giant Sea Kings can appear in the surrounding waters.
After all, in the sea area near Twin Capes, there is this little guy Laboon, and basically no large Sea King will appear, let alone Giant Sea Kings." Crocus looked at Roger very curiously and asked.
As soon as these words came out, Rayleigh and others also looked over. They also wanted to know why a Giant Sea Kings suddenly appeared and saved them when their entire army was about to be destroyed.
Rayleigh was the first person to go to sea with Roger, but he never knew that Roger had such ability.
"Okay, let's talk about it. This is our luck.
Crocus You just boarded the ship, so you probably don't know that my Observation Haki has been developed to the point where you can Voice of All Things.
Just yesterday, after Rayleigh told me that we might encounter Takenaka Kaguya, I used Voice of All Things's ability to communicate with intelligent creatures in the sea.
I thought there would be no response, but just this morning, when I was fishing on the deck, I suddenly found a faint voice coming into my mind.
And the owner of that voice is Giant Sea Kings who suddenly appeared today and rescued us." Roger sighed, and then explained the reason.
"Hey, Captain, can you control Giant Sea Kings?"
At this time, as Rayleigh's surprised voice sounded, the others were also surprised.
You know, the only one who can control or command Giant Sea Kings is the legendary Neptune.
"No, I can't control Sea King. If I could, we wouldn't be where we are today.
I just use the ability of Voice of All Things to communicate with Sea King!" Roger waved his hand and explained.
As he finished speaking, Rayleigh suddenly thought that when he first went from Sabaody Archipelago to Fish-Man Island after passing through the coating, Roger once heard someone speaking in the dark deep sea.
However, at that time Roger was not able to communicate with Sea King.
Now, after listening to Roger's explanation, Rayleigh guessed a little bit.
"I see, then we are really lucky. No one thought that Takenaka Kaguya could be so powerful.
With one person, he seemed to be able to deal with the three of us with ease and ease. If the Giant Sea Kings hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would have been buried in the sea either on the way to Impel Down!"
Rayleigh couldn't help but sigh.
On the side, Gaban also nodded in approval and said, "Yes, if the captain hadn't summoned the other Giant Sea Kings and took us away very quickly, we would have perished in the sea long ago!"
