Chapter 422: Demon Slayer Order Lights a Cigarette
...
"Crack!"
Spandine took out a golden phone, pressed a button and said arrogantly.
"Sa! I'm sorry, everyone. You have committed unforgivable sins. Even this land that breeds sin should be completely wiped out!"
"You...what did you do?"
A scholar had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and he asked with a look of horror.
"Oh! That's a good question! This is the Golden Den Den Mushi given to me by Admiral Sengoku himself. It's used to launch a demon-killing order to destroy the entire island. Thanks to you, I'm also the first time I have the right to use it! Hahaha! I'm sorry, I can only ask you all to die!!"
Spandine said arrogantly.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
The first round of artillery bombardment has arrived!
A huge shell hit the trunk of the All-Knowing Tree, blowing a large hole in the outer wall of the library. Continuous shells fell nearby, making deafening explosions. The All-Knowing Tree was surrounded by raging flames.
"Damn it! We haven't evacuated yet! Why did the navy start bombing?!"
Spandine, who fell to the ground, cursed loudly.
"Um... Sir, it seems that as soon as we press the Golden Den Den Mushi command, the demon-slaying will begin! That's what General Sengoku said."
The personal bodyguard Instant Noodle Head explained considerately.
"Asshole, if you knew, why didn't you remind me?"
Spandain was so angry that he threw the pot.
"I'm sorry, sir. If you hadn't told me you didn't know, I wouldn't have known you didn't know."
"Fuck, stop talking nonsense and escort me out of here quickly!!"
"Yes!"
"Lord Spandine, where are these scholars?"
"After we get on board, we just need to make sure they don't escape. If they stay here, they will surely die. Saving my life is the most important thing!!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two bodyguards said this and carried Spandine and ran outside.
"Hey! Guys, if you don't want to die, hurry up and follow us. We have to get back to the boat quickly!"
After Spandine went out, he shouted loudly to the agents outside. He didn't want to be left alone after a mission.
"Yes, sir!!"
Spandine, who was being carried away by two capable men, still had time to look back at the situation in the library.
Everything went according to Lord Gel's plan, and I completed the task assigned by the World Government perfectly. If Lord Gel and his men were accidentally killed in the explosion, it would not be my business.
"Hey hey hey!"
...
"Dr. Clover! Are you okay?"
Nico Robin, who had been hiding outside the door after using the power of the fruit to unexpectedly get rid of the CP agent, saw the agents evacuating, and then ran to the injured Dr. Clover and expressed her concern.
"Ah, Robin? Why are you still here? Hurry up and get to the shelter ship! This indiscriminate artillery attack is going to raze the entire island to the ground! Hurry up!"
Dr. Clover said anxiously.
"I do not want!"
Little Robin began to sob.
"I don't want to leave everyone. If I have to die, I want to die with everyone. I don't want to become a human being again!"
"Robin...Robin!"
On the side, Olivia's heart was broken, and she cried out in tears.
Robin turned his head and stared blankly at the silver-haired woman. She seemed strange but he wanted to get close to her.
Little Robin looked at the tears that kept falling down the woman's face, and for some reason he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
Tears gradually blurred her vision, and through her tearful eyes, the woman's figure began to slowly overlap with the vague person in her childhood memory.
"Clap clap clap!"
"You are? Mom, right?!"
Robin shouted loudly, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
"You're the mother, right?"
Hearing the word "Mom" again after six years, Olivia couldn't hold back her tears.
"Robin, it's me! It's mom, mom is back!"
Olivia seemed to have lost all her strength. She knelt weakly on the ground and opened her arms to Robin.
"Mom! Ooooh!"
Little Robin stood up and ran towards the woman who had been waiting for six years, and threw himself into his mother's arms without hesitation.
"Robin! I'm sorry!"
"mom!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried loudly.
"Little Robin!"
"Miss Olivia!"
A group of scholars were moved by the heartwarming scene of the mother and daughter reuniting. They were secretly wiping away their tears, and the old man who was shot was ruthlessly left aside.
...
Captain Gel looked down at the rope in his hand. Spandine was considerate enough to tie a bow for him.
Gel casually untied the knot on his hand, then stood up and walked out with Moria and Senior.
"Mr. G... Chopper! Where are you going?"
Dorag asked anxiously as he untied the rope on his hand.
Dorag thought to himself that you dissuaded me every time I wanted to take action before. We saw that you looked confident, but we always believed that you had a perfect plan, Mr. Yager. If you just quit now, I... I really won't be able to help but curse.
It should be no problem for him and Ivankov to leave as there are five vice admirals outside, but it would be a bit unrealistic to evacuate dozens of scholars who have no combat capability safely.
"Oh, let's go out for a smoke, do you want to come with me?"
Ger turned around and asked.
"Forehead??…"
Gel's unconventional thinking made Dorag and Ivankov stunned for several seconds.
What is going on now? Don't you have any idea? Ten navy ships are bombing indiscriminately outside. Brother, is it really appropriate for you to go out and smoke a cigarette now? Doesn't the navy's demon-killing order have any dignity?
"Okay, let's go together!"
Dorag hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
It's a good time to go out and have a cigarette and chat. I have a lot of questions to discuss with Geer about the next plan.
Passing by Dr. Klopa who was still lying on the ground, it was so pitiful to see the old man bleeding and crying for the reunion of a mother and daughter.
Gel reached out and stuffed a healing pill into his mouth. After all, it was he who ordered Spandine to shoot. Then he said to Ivankov behind him.
"Help him remove the bullet and bandage it, little Ivan."
"No problem! Just one bullet, leave it to me! Hee-ha!"
Ivankov agreed.
...
"Boom!"
As Gel and his companions just walked to the door, several shells flew towards them.
"Whoosh!"
The shadow under Moria fluttered and spread out like a cloak, blocking all the flying shells like a black cloth, and then the shadow turned into a bag to hold the shells.
"Bang bang bang!"
The shell exploded inside, causing the black bag to swell up like a balloon in an instant, and then quickly deflated.
The shadow turned back into Moria's shadow clone again, and brought the spark produced by the explosion of the shell in his palm to Captain Gul.
"Thank you."
Gel stretched his neck and lit the cigarette in his mouth, looking at the endless artillery fire around him, and exhaled a puff of white smoke with great enjoyment.
You can ignore other things for now, you just have to pretend to light a cigarette for Tu Mo Ling.
