The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

Katakuri fell.

Mary panted heavily and finally recovered. Her current situation was not optimistic. The battle with Katakuri almost drained her life force, just like the enemy Crocodile at that time.

However, she lost that time when she exhausted her life force. But this time, she won.

"Who is..."

The giant wave of glutinous rice turned back into rock as Katakuri died. The impact was still there, and the rock collapsed inch by inch after being forcibly fixed in place.

And the person who stopped the glutinous rice craze at the critical moment was not Mary. Mary was not able to stop the huge wave at that time.

Not to mention Mary who is completely hollowed out now, even Mary in her full glory could only avoid Katakuri's deadly blow when she was about to die. Kill Katakuri with one sword.

Things are not something that Mary, who lacks strength, can do.

So, what really stopped this wave was...

An old man with long curly hair, a beard on his chin, silver beard and hair, wearing glasses, and a straight scar on his right eye slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Silbaz Reilly?"

Seeing the old man in front of her, Mary felt stunned.

Why is he here?

At this time, another man walked out from behind Reilly. He had black hair and wore a slim-fitting black suit.

From a distance, he shouted in the direction of the south gate of the city:

"Sorry, Goz Kurd, we're late."

"It's better to come early than to come by chance..."

The person who responded to him was the gentleman uncle who had been fighting with Cracker before and successfully bought time for Mary.

That gentleman, that is, Kurd, looked quite embarrassed now, without his elegant demeanor at all. It must have been affected a lot by Katakuri's fatal blow just now.

Sabo immediately went to meet up with Big Bear near Weiwei and others and the people, ready to defend against attacks from unknown AoE. The wild rice just now frightened him so much that he thought that this battle would end with the total destruction of both parties.

It's over.

Rayleigh, on the other hand, was cleaning his sword on the spot without making any movement, while Kurd and the black-haired man walked towards Mary.

The two of them walked up to Mary, and both looked at her with awe. They glanced at Katakuri's body, and then looked at Mary who was standing next to the body, holding a sword and looking slightly tired.

"Water Dragon Clauren/Black Knight Kurd, I have met Your Majesty."

…

With the explanations from Lauren and Kurd, Mary probably understood a little bit of the situation.

Saint Edwin has three extremely powerful CP0s under his command, whose codenames are [Death Smoke], [Water Dragon] and [Black Knight]. Among them, Death Smoke is Gabriel who had met Mary several times before.

, and he is also the strongest among the three. The other two are the two guys in front of him.

The three of them are collectively called the Three Imperial Ministers under the God.

If according to the corresponding relationship, these three people correspond to the three disasters and the three generals? Edved Saint himself is the general, Gabriel is the deputy, and the other two are disasters?

Mary thought for a moment and decided to check the favorability panel directly later.

Once you come into contact with the opponent's system, you can directly check the strength. When the time comes, it will be clear at a glance.

The three of them all came to Alabasta under the orders of Saint Edvid. The purpose of the Black Knight was to attend the meeting of the Desert Alliance as a representative of Saint Edvid, while the purpose of Lauren was to secretly protect Mary.

Gabrielle is the one who really came to stop Katakuri's massacre. From this point of view, Gabrielle should indeed be the Queen's second-in-command, so Saint Edwin would have the confidence to send her to fight against Katakuri.

.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that Katakuri would actually die under his own sword in the end...

Speaking of which, if we wait for Gabriel to arrive, the day lilies will probably be cold.

Of course, from the current point of view, it is obvious that Clarence failed to complete the task. From the beginning of the Seven Waters Capital, Mary almost fought from beginning to end on her own, even when she faced Katakuri's death blow just now,

It was Rayleigh who took action to stop him.

In addition, Rayleigh has cooperated with Saint Edved, and this time he was entrusted by Saint Edved to protect Mary.

Is my cheap brother actually so powerful?

Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But after finding out about Rayleigh's origins and Rayleigh's camp, Mary immediately remembered what she should do now.

'Important City...'

She remembered what Katakuri had revealed just now - the Big Mom Pirates were divided into two groups, one going to Impel Castle to rob the prison, and the other going to Alabasta to attract attention and eliminate Marie at the same time.

It's just that the process of suppressing Mary has overturned.

Now, Xi can still respond to Mary's perception, which means that Impel Down has not fallen yet. I don't know if it was his unintentional smile and the dragon that played a role before, or Zefa stopped Big Mom.

But now that the war on the top has begun, Mary is absolutely uneasy about letting anyone else guard the Impel Castle except herself. It is not Mary's style to pin all her hopes on others unless she has to.

Therefore, since things are done here and Rayleigh's intentions are good, there is no need for Mary to stay here any longer.

She must rush to Impel Down City non-stop in order to minimize the risk factor.

Thinking of this, Mary was ready to turn around and leave.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty!?"

Seeing Mary turning around and leaving without hesitation, both of them were stunned for a moment and immediately asked her.

"I still have things to do. Since you are all following the orders of Saint Edved, you should stay here to help Weiwei with her post-war recovery work."

"If Albana is not defended, the reconstruction work must be done properly."

"That's the matter of the Black Knight. My mission is to protect His Majesty."

Clauren said sonorously and forcefully, and the corner of Kurd's mouth twitched as he listened.

Mary paused for a moment and looked back at Rayleigh in the distance.

Rayleigh walked among the ruins, looking around as if he was observing something.

After a while, Mary still shook her head.

After this battle, Mary has clearly understood her strength positioning. Now the disaster-level strength alone can no longer stand in front of Mary with half-fire power, while Mary with full firepower can even obtain the level of general and emperor in a short period of time.

The ability to open 50/50.

As for Lauren's strength, it is estimated from the positioning that it is probably at the disaster level. Taking him to Impel Down will not be of much use. Moreover, Mary is good at speed, so maybe she can bring Lauren with her.

It will slow you down.

Even if he consumes too much now and can no longer burst out the power that can match the general emperor, he still has to pass through the windless belt on the way to Impel City. He can cut off a few smaller sea kings and just suck them up.

Problem.

As long as she breaks away from the battle, Mary has hundreds of ways to replenish her vitality on the sea.

As for Raleigh...

Although he cooperates with Saint Edved, he is still a pirate in essence.

Mary herself was worried about taking him to Impel Castle. This was the Pirate King's deputy. Just by looking at his performance of blocking Katakuri's decisive blow with one sword, you can see that his strength is not simple. With such a timing

Bombs are simply too dangerous.

Moreover, if I guess correctly, the war on the top will break out soon.

Otherwise, Katakuri wouldn't think that just relying on the massacre in Alabasta could create a gap for Big Mom to launch a surprise attack. After all, Impel Down is one of the three major fortresses, and under normal circumstances the defensive force is definitely sufficient.

The only situation where you will be attacked by surprise is when something extremely important is about to happen, similar to how during the war in the original novel, almost all the navy's active forces were mobilized to the navy headquarters.

And Katakuri probably learned about Ace's arrest from some unknown channel. Knowing Ace's identity (Whitebeard's adopted son) and anticipating the outbreak of the war on top, he made the decision to attack Alabasta.

kind of decision.

Therefore, even without any intelligence, Mary was almost certain that a war was about to break out on top - maybe Ace had arrived at the Navy headquarters by now, and Whitebeard's fleet had already been coated.

In this case, it would be impossible to take a former crew member of One Piece to Impel Down, which is only half a day away from the Navy Headquarters, unless there is something wrong with Mary's brain.

In other words, going to Impel Down City alone now is the best choice.

"No need, go back and tell Saint Edved that I don't need his protection."

Mary shook her head and rejected Lauren's request.

Then, no matter what the expression on Lauren's face was, he used his remaining vitality to activate Blood Damage, accelerated to the speed of sound in an instant, and was far away from the two of them in the blink of an eye.

Mary really couldn't see through Saint Edved. Although Saint Edved certainly couldn't have any bad intentions towards her, the strength of his men could no longer keep up with Mary's.

And Mary is still vaguely threatened by the Celestial Dragons, so contact with Saint Edwin may lead to her excessive exposure to the Celestial Dragons.

To be on the safe side, Mary still refused St. Edwed's asylum - this asylum was harmful but useless. It was better to use this power for his own planning. Mary knew that St. Edwed must have some deep thoughts.

, otherwise it would be impossible to go and cooperate with Rayleigh.

In this case, Saint Edvid also has good intentions towards him, so he should also sell him a favor and let Saint Edvid do his own thing without worrying about her.

Moreover, when the news of this battle in Alabasta spreads, I don't need to say it myself, Saint Edwyd will no longer protect him.

Watching Mary leave in a hurry, the black knight and the water dragon looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.

"Can you catch up at this speed?"

"Spare me, I still want to live a few more years with my old bones."

The Black Knight shook his head and asked, "What about the things here?"

"I'll report to the master later, and then I'll wait for the master's instructions..." After hesitating, Shuilong looked at Weiwei in the distance.

"Now we might be better off helping our ally recover after the war..."

"That's right."

Rayleigh walked alone among the ruins and picked up a charred block.

Then, without even exerting any force, the pitch black thing turned into fly ash.

"Completely burned..."

Rayleigh looked thoughtfully at the completely razed city. It was soaked in blood, and the ground was still smelling of blood. A little blood could even be squeezed out when he stepped on it.

However, compared to the moist soil, the cracked earth and charred ruins illustrate the terrible high temperatures that this place once suffered.

Recalling the photo of Mary in the report, Reilly naturally thought of Mary's ability to control blood and her unique extreme high temperature.

The little girl who once had to fight so hard to defeat Armand on the Chambord Islands is now able to defeat Katakuri in a single fight...

Moreover, judging from the last wave of glutinous rice, Katakuri seems to have made a breakthrough. Rayleigh, who has always been aware of the current situation in the sea, knows very well what is happening now.

"The navy is really about to rise...Roger, the era of great pirates that you started will probably be ended by this little girl."

"Who is the person you are looking forward to?"

"You or Edved, whose judgment should I trust?"

…

Crackle and Smoothie ran away in panic.

No one noticed that Katakuri's final counterattack before his death was not only a blow to kill Weiwei and others, but also a blow to send away his two younger brothers and sisters.

Huangliu Nuomi was not blocked and sent the two of them far and far until they turned into rocks.

The two people who are well aware of the characteristics of the superhuman fruit know exactly what this means.

The two of them kept speeding away in the sea of ​​sand, not daring to look back.

They were even a little confused now. They didn't know what was happening, so they could only flee into the depths of the desert.

This piece of yellow sand will become a lingering nightmare in their minds for the rest of their lives.

This nightmare devoured their soldiers, their families, and their invincible brother.

…

"It's finally over..."

Sabo looked at Mary walking away and looked around. The battle was finally over.

At this time, the scarred Jaka walked past him.

"This is not the end, it shouldn't end here..."

Gaka's low murmur reached Sabo's ears. Sabo was stunned, looked in the direction Gaka walked, and fell silent.

After everything finally calmed down, the scattered people slowly gathered together to look for their families.

Some people stood alone in a daze, while more people burst into tears.

There were people with broken limbs, blind eyes, and injuries all over their bodies. A sad and ominous cloud lingered over the crowd.

Weiwei stood on a high place, looking at her people, silent.

She took a deep breath and flexed her fingers.

"Dancing fans, Baroque studio, Crocodile, natural disaster, Katakuri..."

She counted every disaster in Alabasta, and all of these disasters had happened in the past few years alone.

The country she loved so much had suffered too many scars.

However, this is finally coming to an end.

After this final disaster is over, Alabasta will take off.

The establishment of the Desert Alliance meant that she had greater room for maneuver, and her plan could finally come to light.

In the future…

To all enemies who dare to invade Alabasta——

This country will mercilessly devour all enemies, and no one will be able to leave this island country alive.

…

Advance City.

The sixth floor.

The sugar liquid flows out from the cracks in the walls and gathers into a human shape.

This movement attracted the attention of all the prisoners on the sixth floor.

"Hehehehe..."

Perospero looked at everyone in the prison with a low smile.

The criminals locked up here are all monster pirates who were erased from history because they were too vicious. The prisoners on this floor are all near-legendary figures. Their punishment is either the death penalty or life imprisonment. Because the prisoners on this floor have done many evil things, they have committed some

Incidents that exceeded the level of cruelty were covered up by the government and even reported in newspapers.

But now, their hope for freedom lies in their own hands.

"Everyone, let's cooperate a little bit."

He stretched out a hand, and the syrup continued to shape in his palm.

"I can provide you with the keys to unlock the door, and I can also provide you with food supplies. How about you help us break through Impel Down City?"
