Chapter 986 Edward Newgate (10)
Given the nature of the Celestial Dragons, it is impossible for them not to cause trouble.
The opportunity for Yun Ci to escape that he had been waiting for for a long time soon came to him.
It was a—
how to say.
Very boring battle.
Yun Ci sighed unsatisfiedly, kicked the corpse of the Tianlong man into the sea, and the blood dyed the sea red.
Anna stood aside, speaking worried words but with a smile on her face.
"It's terrible. Things have gotten out of hand."
Yun Ci glanced at her clothes that were almost stained with blood.
——These words really shouldn’t come out of your mouth.
Yun Ci shook off the remaining blood stains on her hands, walked to the clean sea water area, and put her hands in.
The azure blue sea was gradually stained by blood, but it soon disappeared and returned to its original state.
The escort team spontaneously cleaned up the battlefield, and they ignored the naval ships that were gradually moving away.
Yun Ci listened to them washing the wooden dock with sea water, swinging her legs intermittently.
"King, another ship is approaching!"
The calling voice brought Yun Ci back to her senses. She looked towards the sea and saw the tall figure standing at the bow of the ship.
Edward Newgate looked at the bright red blood on the sea, jumped into the sea, and swam quickly to the shore.
At this time, he had not yet taken the devil fruit and was not afraid of the sea.
Yun Ci stood up with a smile and said to the guards who were on alert again: "Don't worry, our family is back."
family?
It seems that they are the only family member who would ride on a pirate ship.
"It is Newgate who has returned."
"Come on, lend a hand."
"Help me, I can't touch the sea water. Come on, someone who hasn't eaten a devil fruit."
There was a commotion on the dock, and before they could run over to pull him out, Edward Newgate had already climbed up by himself.
"Everyone, how are you?"
"Oh! Don't worry, Newgate, we are fine." A man carrying a spear looked up at Edward Newgate, "But why did you come back at this time?"
"I heard that the Celestial Dragons are coming to the Elf Island." Edward Newgate glanced around the island and confirmed that the familiar faces were still there before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Newgate." Yun Ci walked forward, "Welcome home, how was your trip at sea?"
"King." Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci and blurted out, "You seem to have grown a lot taller."
The smile on Yun Ci's face froze, and then she nodded.
"Yes, I've grown a few centimeters taller." Yun Ci changed the subject and said, "You came back at a bad time. I'm afraid the island will be in chaos for a while."
Edward Newgate squatted down: "That's why I came back."
Being targeted by the Celestial Dragons is equivalent to being targeted by the navy, and there is no way you can live in peace.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
Yun Ci looked at Anna, gave her a few instructions, and then walked towards Edward Newgate's house.
Edward Newgate followed Yun Ci. She took a few steps and he could catch up with her in one step.
In order to keep up with her every step, he had to take small steps.
Edward Newgate got annoyed after moving a few steps, so he bent down and hugged Yun Ci, tossed her up and down.
Yun Ci only felt a flash before her eyes, and her whole body fell on Edward Newgate's shoulder.
She subconsciously held Edward Newgate's head and turned to look at him: "Newgate?"
"This is much more convenient, Gu La La La."
Edward Newgate laughed heartily and strode forward carrying Yun Ci under the shocked gaze of the guards.
Yun Ci: “…”
Fine.
It's nice not to have to walk.
Moreover, it was her first time to experience vision from such a high altitude in this way, and she could see everything at a glance - it was unexpectedly interesting.
"Go over there." Yun Ci pointed to the tall house. "It's just right that you're back. You can see your home with your own eyes."
Edward Newgate responded and turned to the main issue: "Did that celestial dragon escape?"
"No." Yun Ci said, "I killed him."
Edward Newgate paused.
died?
If you just harm the Celestial Dragons, the Navy will send out admirals.
Now that we have killed the Celestial Dragons, what will the Navy do?
Edward Newgate did not hesitate, and added: "I will stay."
"You don't have to get involved in these things."
"This is my hometown." Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci and said seriously, "You are my family. It is my duty to protect you."
"You really make me feel very safe, Newgate." Yun Ci smiled and leaned on Edward Newgate's head. "It feels like our chances of winning are even greater."
Edward Newgate laughed so loudly that it seemed as if the whole island could hear it.
Since they were his own people, Yun Ci did not hide the specialness of the island from Edward Newgate. Of course, she could not tell him what she had done. The only thing she could tell him was that after the battle, the spring water had special effects and affected the seeds...
"We speculate that it might be something thrown into the river in those years that caused it to mutate..."
Yun Ci kept talking nonsense without changing her expression, and Edward Newgate actually believed it.
——He really wouldn’t doubt his family.
"The Tianlong people discovered that this place is special and want to occupy the island." Yun Ci's face was cold, "If they just wanted to buy some river seeds, no one would have any objection, but they actually want everyone to become his slaves."
He also wanted to brand them with a slave mark, the same kind that the future Pirate Empress, the Hancock sisters, were branded with.
This made Yun Ci, who had no intention of enduring in the first place, choose to take action directly.
Slave branding?
You want to brand it, right?
I'll brand you with eight or ten of them first!
Yun Ci directly branded Manmaiya all over her body, and her face was covered with slave marks.
The sailors were all shocked by Yun Ci's actions. They never expected that she would actually dare to do this, but they had no chance to step forward to stop her.
Every member of this guard team can at least fight ten people at once.
The ordinary navy officers were suppressed and had no chance to get close.
They could only watch Manmaiya die, feeling extremely desperate.
What will they face if they fail to protect the Celestial Dragons?
They dare not think.
But they know.
It must be more painful than death.
"Those marines are just crazy. They know they can't win but they still insist on coming forward to die..."
The guards don’t want to kill so many, but if they don’t, the navy will take the opportunity to stab them, and no amount of persuasion will work.
In the end, they had no choice but to kill people.
The more you kill, the more you kill.
Of course, there were also some people who were afraid of death and simply hid back on the boat and ran away.
Edward Newgate said: "We shouldn't have let them go."
That group of navy will bring back more navy and even admirals.
"I know." Yun Ci said softly, "This is also my goal."
She was waiting for the navy to arrive.
She wanted to take this opportunity to scare them so much that they would not dare to have any thoughts about the Elf Island again.
Yun Ci has never been to the holy land of Marijoa in her life.
That was her next stop.
She wanted to take a good look around this so-called 'land of the gods'.
