As soon as Andy and Kalifa stepped into the forest's edge, someone immediately warned them.
"Hey!"
"You can't go in there, you'll be killed by the people inside!" a bearded old man shouted at them.
"It's fine, old man, we're just going to fight them," Andy replied with a faint smile, looking in the old man's direction.
The old man was about to say more, but his companion, who was not far away, ran over and stopped him.
"Don't say anything, he's Red Hawk!" his companion whispered, his face filled with terror.
Upon hearing this, the old man's face instantly turned ashen.
Andy ignored them and continued walking deeper into the forest, with Kalifa following closely behind him.
"Your reputation is truly terrible," Kalifa commented blandly.
"Uh... that doesn't affect my mood, so what does it matter if it's terrible or not?" Andy said indifferently.
Kalifa was speechless.
——
At the edge of the Forbidden Area.
Besides four CP0 agents, there were also many ordinary agents in black suits.
"The time should be right. Osrian Saint will arrive here today, so we must be prepared," a CP0's voice came through his mask.
The other three CP0 agents nodded. After all these years, the so-called curse had disappeared, and their mission was finally about to be completed.
"Who's there!"
"You can't enter here, leave immediately!" At this moment, the agents on the outer perimeter shouted.
"Pfft!"
"Ugh! !"
"..."
The four CP0 agents had just heard the agents' shouts of expulsion, and then immediately heard the sound of blades cutting into flesh and agonizing screams.
They looked at each other, and the same thought simultaneously surged in their minds.
Something's wrong!
Just as they were about to react, the sound of leisurely footsteps crunching on forest leaves reached their ears.
They immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a man nearly three meters tall, holding a crimson-bladed sword, and a woman dressed sexily with a thorny whip in her hand, walking towards them.
"Red Hawk!" one of the CP0 agents exclaimed.
"And..." another CP0 recognized Kalifa's identity.
The CP0 agents were very shocked. One was a super rookie and great pirate famous throughout the seas, and the other was a World Government agent from CP9.
This combination was truly too strange.
"Red Shadow · Thousand Feathers!" Andy murmured softly, his Zhu Chi appearing slow but moving as fast as lightning.
Seeing Andy's movements, the four CP0 agents' pupils instantly contracted sharply, and expressions of extreme horror appeared on their faces.
In the next instant, countless crimson slashes, light as feathers but each containing infinite killing intent, directly covered an area of a hundred meters around them!
"Iron Body: Steel!"
"Armament!"
"..."
With such a wide-range attack, it was too late to dodge. They could only use Armament Haki to defend with all their might where they stood.
After a series of clanging sounds mixed with the squelch of flesh being cut, the four CP0 agents had numerous lacerations on their bodies.
Blood seeped out, instantly staining their clothes red.
These four CP0 agents had not expected that despite using Armament Haki to defend, they were unable to block Red Hawk's attack.
"Red Hawk, we are the Celestial Dragons' direct subordinates. Do you know what it means to attack us?!" one CP0 said in a deep voice.
The other three took defensive stances against Red Hawk. From the previous attack, they knew they were no match for Red Hawk.
In that case, they could only stall for time and wait for Osrian Saint to arrive. The secret treasure within the Forbidden Area could not be lost!
Kalifa also hadn't expected that when Andy said he was going to "deal" with them, he truly meant to kill the CP0 agents, even attacking directly without a single word.
"Red Shadow · Blade Shattering Beauty!" Andy roared, and an incomparably sharp crimson slash instantly swept through the forest.
All the large trees in its path were severed. In just the blink of an eye, this slash passed through the waists of the four CP0 agents.
The booming sound of giant trees collapsing echoed through the forest and spread in all directions, causing countless birds to fly away in panic.
The four CP0 agents, cut in half at the waist, their pupils filled with terror, were unable to utter a single word before being crushed into pulp by the falling giant trees.
Kalifa's eyes behind her thin-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly. She hadn't expected that Andy would truly go for the kill directly, giving those four CP0 agents no chance at all!
"The lesser soldiers are coming over. Do you want to go in with me?" Andy flicked the blood beads off the blade of Zhu Chi, his expression calm as he asked Kalifa.
Kalifa bit her lip lightly and made her decision immediately: "Follow!"
"Great!" Andy praised.
Then he stepped over the isolation line drawn by the CP Agents and entered the core area of this primeval forest, which was the Forbidden Area.
Kalifa was utterly shocked to see Andy enter. He really went in! And there was no sign of any fire starting.
Why wasn't Andy cursed? Were those things said at the bar and grill false?
But she didn't have time to ponder these questions. She quickly hurried to catch up with Andy, continuing towards the core of the Forbidden Area.
Ten minutes later, Andy finally saw the legendary temple, an ancient palace over a hundred meters tall!
"This... is the temple they spoke of?!" Kalifa said in shock, looking at the massive palace not far away.
"It should be. Let's go, see what kind of surprise this temple will bring me." Andy was a little excited looking at the temple.
If he wasn't mistaken, there should be a special Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit inside this massive, ancient temple!
Thinking of this, he continued towards the temple, with Kalifa quickly following.
——
At the port at this moment.
A large ship flying the World Government flag, escorted by two Marine warships, was docked in the port.
After the ship was steady, a man dressed casually but exuding an inherent noble and arrogant demeanor walked out.
At this time, the Marine had already cleared the streets, pushing people to both sides, creating a direct path to the forest.
On both sides of the road, everyone knelt on the ground with their heads down, no one daring to look up, some people's bodies trembling non-stop.
"Osrian Saint, they are already waiting deep in the forest," an agent in a black suit stepped forward and said.
"Hmm, let's go. Let's see if this Devil Fruit is truly a Mythical Zoan. If not, I'll reward it to you," Osrian Saint said with a casual smile, patting the agent's face.
"Thank you for the bestowal, Osrian Saint," the agent replied, his expression unchanged.
Then.
The group strode towards the forest.
