"Shouldn't that be my question to you? What have you done?! This is the Tree of Omniscience, the heart of human civilization. Every book is priceless!" Dr. Clover roared.
He also didn't know what was happening. The suddenly dark sky and the completely still dark clouds were telling him that something terrible had happened here.
It was unsettling, so even Dr. Clover, who had prepared himself for the worst, felt a kind of dread, an unspeakable fear.
That fear was rooted deep inside...
The world was so dark and quiet, as if forgotten in a corner where no one cared.
The CP9 agents also raised their guns because of this sudden change.
They pointed their guns at the scholars, ready to fire at the slightest movement.
In this world that seemed to have already died, they wouldn't mind adding a few more dead people.
At the Tree of Omniscience, the core of Ohara, the archaeological holy land of the world, such a confrontation was taking place.
People who read, write reports, and publish papers were trying to fight people with guns. The outcome seemed predetermined.
But before the inevitable outcome arrived, a strange change happened that no one could understand.
"Priceless?" Spandine, who had no respect for knowledge, chuckled and said, "I've heard that your so-called Tree of Omniscience knows nothing about the Eight Great Demons! How can such garbage be called the Tree of Omniscience? It's laughable!"
When the demons appeared, the World Government had also called upon Ohara, wanting to use these archaeologists to dig up some information about the demons.
However, although there were many messages about demons in the books, none of them were actually useful.
Especially the most important Eight Great Demons, the scholars of Ohara had no clue about them at all!
The World Government was naturally extremely disappointed, but after thinking about it, the Tree of Omniscience only had a history of several thousand years, while the demons were remnants from tens of thousands of years ago. It was understandable that the Tree of Omniscience hadn't collected information about them.
Spandine was just trying to mock them.
"The information about the demons must be recorded in the Tree of Omniscience, but we just haven't been able to decipher it yet!" Dr. Clover insisted. "If you give us enough time..."
"Stop dreaming, old man. Give you enough time...? Hahaha, you don't have any time left!" Spandine said wildly.
Although he didn't know why he suddenly lost contact with headquarters, Spandine still had a large number of CP agents with him. Even without the support of headquarters, it was easy to kill these scholars.
But as he was thinking this, a relatively deep male voice approached, followed by a huge shadow.
"Is that really so?"
He had obvious injuries, but they weren't fatal, because he was a giant, with a body several meters tall and a head surrounded by an orange beard.
His appearance made Spandine almost lose his mind. He took several steps back in fright, trying to stay away from the giant, and said, "Sa! Saul!"
That's right, this man was none other than Marine's giant Vice Admiral Saul!
He had participated in the Battle of Jaltzburg Fortress with Garp and others. In that war, Marine suffered heavy losses, and even the leaders Garp and Sengoku were almost killed there.
But Saul was lucky enough to survive, perhaps because as a giant, his life force was stronger.
When he was in Jaltzburg Fortress, he had practiced the Tathagata Palm under Ah Xing's guidance. He was one of the first students of 'sword'. So many years had passed since the Jaltzburg Fortress incident, and he was no longer the Saul from the original story.
"What are you doing?! Are you going to disobey Marine headquarters' orders? Don't forget your position!" Spandine looked at Saul with extreme fear in his heart, but he still shouted fiercely.
With his actions, the surrounding CP agents immediately pointed their weapons at Saul, but Saul said in a muffled voice, "The sentence that Ah Xing Admiral most often says to us is 'If good and evil are not rewarded, then the world must be biased.' Justice means that good and evil are repaid, and I think you are evil!"
The aura emanating from him was extremely astonishing. Even with many CP members around him, Spandine couldn't help but panic.
And the next moment, his unease was confirmed. Saul suddenly waved his palm, and the huge palm unleashed a powerful Haki, knocking all the CP members away before they could react!
"I don't know why, but this place seems to have lost contact with the outside world. Even if I do this, Ah Xing Admiral won't be punished in any way."
Seeing that all the CP members had fallen, Saul breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Dr. Clover and the others and said with relief, "Great, I finally made it in time. Robin, are you okay?"
The last sentence was directed at a little girl in the crowd, who was none other than the young Robin.
"Saul?!"
Robin had been feeling desperate, but Saul's sudden appearance made her extremely excited. However, another person also called out the giant's name at this time.
A white-haired woman appeared behind the giant, and she also exclaimed Saul's name.
Saul turned his head and couldn't help but say after seeing the white-haired woman, "Olivia, you're okay too! That's great!"
Olivia?!
Robin's pupils dilated, and she immediately looked at the white-haired woman.
At this moment, Olivia had a gun on her back and multiple injuries on her body, as if she was about to fall at any moment, but she still ran over firmly.
"Saul, do you know what's happening here? Is this also an arrangement by the World Government?"
Saul shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know. I left Marine headquarters before the operation plan was completed, and I'm a member of 'sword'. The World Government won't let Ah Xing Admiral know about this."
Ah Xing was on good terms with Garp in Marine. He inherited Sengoku's position, but he wasn't as obedient as Sengoku. To reduce trouble, Marine bypassed Ah Xing for this kind of mission.
There were now only Zephyr and Anne as Admirals at Marine headquarters. Ah Xing had long been transferred to the New World to carry out missions.
As Ah Xing's subordinate, Saul wasn't very clear about Marine headquarters' arrangements.
"However, the CP agents don't seem to know what's happening either. I think this is a change that the World Government didn't expect, right?"
.........
I still feel terrible. My temperature keeps jumping between 40, 39, 38, 37, and 35 degrees. It just won't go up to 36 degrees. It's so annoying.
