Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain - Chapter 555

[Chapter 554 Everyone’s Consciousness]

Silence, a dead silence all around.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the bear’s palm, the air mass that exuded a beautiful white light but possessed terrifying power.

The tense atmosphere in the air is like an invisible mountain, pressing in the hearts of everyone, the seemingly quiet surroundings, but invisibly exudes an aura that makes even breathing stop.

Now everyone is like fish on the chopping block, waiting for the bear to judge everyone, life and death are all in the bear’s mind.

“If you can survive the next explosion, I’ll let you go”, clutching the air mass with terrifying energy in his hands.

Hearing this, excited smiles suddenly appeared on everyone’s nervous faces. Although they understood that the air mass in the bear’s air had terrifying power, they were still very sure of surviving from below.

But before everyone was happy for a long time, what Xiong said next made everyone stunned, “But you have to give me the head of the straw hat boy. As long as there is his head, the government will not find fault.”

Hearing this, Usopp and the others, who were still happy before, suddenly changed their expressions and slowly sank.

The bear wants them to make a choice, one side is Luffy’s life, the other is his own life, whether to abandon Luffy to save everyone, or die together.

“What? What is this Shichibukai doing?” Nami, who was hiding in the dark, was surprised, and the choice of the bear was very strange.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Nami’s mind, combined with the information previously obtained from the conversation between Lin Tian and Xiong, plus what happened now.

Nami suddenly understood, looked at Lin Tian and asked, “Lin Tian, you said earlier that Xiong in Qiwuhai was a cadre of the revolutionary army hidden in the navy, so Xiong is still a member of the revolutionary army.”

“And Luffy is the son of Long, the leader of the revolutionary army. So, Xiong received orders from Long and set up a test for us.”

Seeing Nami guessing the reason so quickly, Lin Tian showed a hint of surprise on his face, nodded and admitted Nami’s speculation, “Yes, this is indeed the test of that guy Long.”

Hearing Lin Tian’s confession, Nami understood all the puzzled things in her heart, why Lin Tian was with the bear from the beginning, and why Lin Tian was still hiding when the bear appeared.

It turned out that he had already saved everything and knew that this was a test of the bear for Luffy’s partner, that is, their test.

Thinking of this, Nami suddenly asked, “If we choose to accept it, what will happen?”

Nami asked such a question, but Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. He took a deep look at Nami’s eyes waiting for his answer, and Lin Tian said, “If you choose to accept, it means you choose to leave, a guy who gives up his partner, Neither the bear nor I will let him stay on the boat, maybe you won’t die, but you have to go.”

Having said this, Lin Tian paused, and then showed a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, “But I have confidence in you, and I believe that you will make the most suitable choice in your heart.”

Hearing Lin Tian’s confident words, Nami couldn’t help showing a smile. Nami believed that everyone would also make a real choice in their hearts.

“Do you want us to give up our partners?”

Usopp lowered his head and whispered softly, but he could clearly feel the disdain and irony in Usopp’s tone. Did he think that death was the reason for us to give up our partners?

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone said what was in their hearts, and there was only one answer in the end.

“Refuse!”

Xiong said flatly, “That’s really a pity!”

Covering the compressed air mass in his hands with both hands, he slowly stretched out his hand and opened his palms. The seemingly ordinary air mass, but everyone could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in it, and the air mass slowly flew in front of everyone.

“Bear Shock!”

Losing the compression of the elasticity of the bear’s hands, the palm-sized air mass began to return to its original shape, but the energy emitted in the process formed a terrifying shock wave in an instant.

The invisible impact swept out like a hurricane, the ground began to tremble, and the collapsed castle began to shatter. Pieces of huge gravel or trees in the forest embraced by several people were unable to resist the impact at all.

Tons of gravel were lifted up, not to mention the crowd, only to feel an unstoppable force bombarding the body, as if it had entered heaven and flew up.

After that, he didn’t even feel the pain, and he was seriously injured and passed out. He was mixed in the blown stones. If he was lucky, he could lie on the stones. If he was unlucky, he was directly pressed by several tons of stones.

The terrifying shock wave spread across the entire island in a blink of an eye and came directly to the sea. The originally calm sea immediately set off waves more than ten meters high.

The surrounding wall floating on the sea was also smashed to pieces by the impact. As the current drifted away, the entire island seemed to have entered the end at this moment.

“Damn, what the hell is this guy doing, don’t you understand what I said?”

Nami and Lin Tian were also in the center of the explosion. The shock wave could not avoid hitting Lin Tian. The space that was arranged at random was covered by the shock, and it only lasted for a few seconds before it shattered.

Even after setting up the three-layer space cover, Lin Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the apocalyptic scene on the island, and couldn’t help but scolded.

Lin Tian knew from the very beginning that this guy Xiong would not do what he said. For this reason, Lin Tian also specially reminded him, but where is this guy holding back now.

Nami didn’t speak, because she was stunned by the apocalyptic scene in front of her. It was the first time she had seen such a terrible attack on Nami.

The shock wave raged for more than a minute before it stopped. The entire island was really turned into ruins, and many objects that were blown away did not fall down until the waters hundreds of meters away from the island.

With the sea breeze blowing, the smoke in the castle slowly dissipated, and finally the scene inside was revealed. Except for the bear, there were hundreds of people on the entire island who were not standing.

All fell unconscious on the ground, some were crushed by stones, and some were lucky enough not to face the fate of being crushed by stones. It can be said that if the bear really wanted to kill everyone, he could easily do it now.

But Xiong didn’t have this idea, his eyes glanced around, and he didn’t stop until Luffy’s figure, walked towards Luffy, and smashed the boulder on him and disappeared into the sky.

Lin Tian, who was hiding in secret, saw Xiong grab Luffy. Instead of being nervous, he was relieved. Xiong had already reached the answer to the test.

“The Lion Song”

However, at this moment, a figure flew out, a shining light flashed, and the bear grabbed Luffy’s right arm and was cut off by Zoro with a knife.

Seeing Sauron’s sudden appearance, Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then he scolded: “Damn, what are you doing, Sauron, you idiot?”

Hearing Lin Tian’s scolding, Nami, who had seen Sauron smiling, raised her head and looked at Lin Tian in confusion, and asked, “Lin Tian, shouldn’t it be right for Sauron to stop the bear?”

After calming down the anger in his heart a little, Lin Tian explained with a wry smile: “In the beginning, everything could be over, but Sauron suddenly broke out, which means that the test is not over yet, and the bear will probably throw up other problems.”

This is also where Lin Tian is helpless. As a pirate tyrant bear who can make pirates terrify, he will not pay attention to showing mercy, but Lin Tian seems to have forgotten that when he did things, he was more ferocious than bears.

Hearing this, Nami’s face changed, and she looked at Zoro in the arena with worried eyes.

Although he turned over and avoided the frontal attack of the bear laser beam, Zoro was still hit by the shock wave and flew out, clenching his fists with both hands and sitting up forcibly.

But standing up was a little useless, his mouth was panting heavily, and his body kept shaking. Zoro realized that his body had begun to not obey.

After recovering a little strength, Zoro looked up at the bear and asked, “Do you have to take the head of the walking and flying person?”

“This is the biggest concession,” Xiong’s eyes flashed, and he replied indifferently.

Just now, Xiong heard Lin Tian’s voice in the dark. He should pay attention to himself and not go too far, but Xiong ignored Lin Tian’s reminder.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zoro made a decision and pleaded with his hands on the ground: “I know, but I will use my head instead, I hope you will let them die.”

“Although I don’t have a reputation yet, if this is going to be the head of the world’s No. 1 swordsman, that should be enough.”

Hearing Sauron’s words full of determination, even the bear couldn’t help but change color and asked, “Since you have such ambitions, are you still going to die for him?”

Zoro looked directly into the bear’s eyes and replied, “There is no other way to rescue the partner now. If you can’t even protect the captain, what is your ambition?”

“Luffy is the man who wants to become the Pirate King!”

“Hey, green algae head, why are you going to die! What are you talking about to achieve your ambitions when you’re dead, idiot”

At this moment, Sanji swayed all over and walked staggeringly. If he could survive the impact just now, Sanji himself had reached the limit, but even so, he stood up without hesitation.

Walking in front of the bear, Sanji said: “Hey, big man, it’s better to take me than to take the life of the green algae, although I am not famous yet, but the most troublesome existence in the straw hat gang in the future must be I am black-footed Sanji”.

In just one sentence, Sanji seemed to have spent all his strength, and his trembling body would have fallen at any moment if he hadn’t clenched his teeth forcibly.

“Don’t kill him, take my life, hello, tell them, ask them to find another chef, and Luffy, tell him that I can’t help him become the pirate king.”

Snapped!

A palm pressed tightly on Sanji’s shoulder, and in his horrified eyes, Zoro picked up the hilt of Qiushui’s sword and hit him on the stomach.

Sanji, who was already at his limit, how could he withstand this heavy blow, he turned around and grabbed Zoro’s arm at the last moment, scolding angrily.

“asshole”.

“Take my life, I beg you, don’t put my body here, let them see my death, if possible, take my body back to the East China Sea, I’m going to sea place”.

Finally glanced at Sanji, Zoro removed the three knives in his hand and threw them all to the ground, opened his hands, facing the imminent death, Zoro looked calm.

Whether it was Sanji or Zoro, the moment they stood up, they already had the consciousness of death.
