Boom boom!!!
The artillery fire was as fierce as a rainstorm, and the roar was deafening.
The huge Tree of Knowledge was also affected, and the flames burned it like the artery of life. The raging flames dyed half the sky red, and the smell of burning filled the air.
The flames caused by the artillery fire began to spread, gradually devouring everything that could be burned.
Flames filled the air all around, Robin's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her mother whom she had not seen for a long time. Her beautiful eyes stared at her intently, and all kinds of emotions flashed through her eyes.
Step by step, she walked tremblingly towards the person in her memory.
"You're my mom, right? (T^T)"
Olvia, who was crawling on the ground with difficulty, already had tears in her eyes, her lips were tightly bitten, and her body began to tremble.
"Robin~"
Spandine, who was facing Alan, also looked over in surprise and said:
"I didn't realize you had a daughter, Olvia!! Looks like that's your weak spot."
The next second, a scorching heat came and the flame slash appeared again.
"You better think about how to survive under my command, Lord Spandine!"
Spandine gritted his teeth, stared at Alan, and lowered his posture again and said:
"Alan!! Do you really want to fight to the death?"
puff!!
Feeling mocked, Spandine's face instantly turned ashen, and he couldn't hide the murderous look in his eyes.
Alan couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Pfft... No, sorry, I'm professionally trained and usually don't laugh unless I can't help it."
"Just your bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Alan looked at the health bars of the people in front of him, and only Spandine's left and right bodyguards were worthy of attention.
Left health bar:
HP: 3317/3317
Constitution: 127.11
Strength: 112.86
Agility: 101.01
Right health bar:
HP: 3110/3110
Physical fitness: 113.12
Strength: 126.86
Agility: 111.05
As for Spandine...
Looking at the number "1012", Alan was too embarrassed to look at the attributes below.
But just in case...Alan's eyes were filled with murderous intent!
He took a deep breath and closed his determined eyes.
In an instant, the temperature around him rose rapidly. His eyes suddenly opened with a blaze of fire. He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and said slowly:
"Reduce All Creation to Ash, Ryūjin Jakka!
Shikai! 'Ryūjin Jakka'!!
Instantly, the flames on the blade began to boil!!
"What the hell is this!! Isn't this guy just a mere Marine Captain?!"
Spandine was frightened by the sudden violent temperature of the flames and stepped back repeatedly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Alan's appearance of manipulating flames like a fire lord was reflected in his pupils.
call--
The hot breath brought out arcs of fire.
At this time, Alan's voice slowly came out from the flames:
"Since the Buster Call has been launched, no one will notice me no matter how loud the noise I make!!"
Facing the demon in flames, Spandine was so frightened that his legs went weak and he began to tremble.
Cold sweat had wet his back countless times, and each time it got wet it would evaporate instantly.
Spandine only now realized the terrifying nature of the Marine captain in front of him, and said in a flattering tone:
"A-Brother Alan, what's the big deal? ...Weren't we having a pleasant chat before?"
Alan couldn't help laughing when he heard this:
"Haha! Lord Spandine is truly adaptable..."
"I have to say, if you had a bottom line, maybe we would really get along well... but you don't have that."
"alright!"
Alan put away his smile and said seriously:
"...From now on, I will escort Master Spandine on his journey!!"
Seeing that Alan was not moved by any persuasion, Spandine gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it!! Go ahead! Shoot him to death!!"
Dozens of CP9 quickly pulled out their guns, pointed them at Alan and pulled the trigger!
Bang bang!!
Behind Alan, Robin and her daughter were hugging each other, and a group of scholars looked at this scene in disbelief.
Why did the World Government's CP9 and the Navy start fighting?!
Dr. Clover, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly remembered something and said with tears in his eyes:
"Is that you?!!"
Everyone looked at them with doubt, and Alan turned around and nodded slightly.
"What do you mean, Doctor?!"
"Do you know this Marine??"
The "fake scholar" next to him almost popped his eyes out. Wasn't the person in front of him the Captain Alan who had arrested them personally?
"Marine Captain...A-Alan!"
"It's that Alan, right?"
All of this fell into the ears of Robin and Olvia.
The reason Olvia came back was to inform the people of Ohara to evacuate.
But when she came back, she found that only Dr. Clover and a few scholars were there, and everyone else was a stranger.
She also got some information about it...
Seeing Dr. Clover's reaction, Olvia seemed to have guessed something and murmured:
"Could it be... this navy?!"
"careful!!"
Bang bang!!
Dozens of bullets all began to turn red one meter away from Alan.
The next second, all the bullets instantly turned into molten iron, landing on the ground and emitting wisps of white smoke.
At this time, the "Falling Blade" in Alan's hand had turned into a flaming sword. He waved his hand, and a pillar of fire quickly rushed towards Spandine and other CP9 members.
Alan exhaled softly:
"——Jōkaku Enjō!!"
The huge column of fire quickly split into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, enveloping all the members of CP9!
Instantly! A flaming cage was formed.
Alan then turned around to look at the dying Dr. Clover. The decreasing red health bar spoke volumes.
HP: 210/901
After a while, the blood volume will drop...
"I'm sorry! If I act rashly before the Buster Call is launched, my plan might fail..."
Dr. Clover smiled and said:
"You did the right thing!! Thank you for keeping the Ohara flame alive..."
Alan looked up at the group of "fake scholars" and said slowly:
"You did well. Now your lives depend on it... Run away!"
The group of "fake scholars" screamed and ran towards the refugee ship.
"I'm free!!"
"Run... The Buster Call is coming!!"
Of course Alan knew that Sakazuki would bombard the refugee ship.
Clover, who was lying on the ground, said to the scholar who was taking care of him:
"You guys run too..."
The scholars all said one after another:
"No! We will stand together with you and the Tree of Knowledge!"
"That's right!!"
In the end, several scholars chose to sacrifice themselves along with the Tree of Knowledge.
"Olvia.....you, take Robin and leave quickly!!"
Olvia nodded, picked up Robin and said:
"Doctor!!...Goodbye!!"
"No! Mom, we have to find Saul!!" Robin said.
Saul?!
Olvia's eyes lit up, and she didn't ask any more questions because the situation was urgent. She said:
"good!!"
As the mother and daughter passed by, Alan imprinted the navy's appearance in his mind...
Alan smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, big brother!!" Robin's voice came from a distance.
