Chapter 126 Assassination? Counterattack! (4k)
Today is the opening ceremony of the Mask Carnival.
Compared to the excitement in the warm-up phase yesterday, today's daytime seemed a bit too calm.
Although there are still teams of masked song and dance troupes performing around the city on Emperor Blue, there are not as many passers-by on the streets as there were yesterday.
Everyone is recharging their energy for the night's carnival.
The Mask Carnival lasts for seven days, with the first and last nights being the busiest.
Massive fireworks displays and carnival parades throughout the city will continue throughout the night.
However, tonight's first carnival night is bound to cause some trouble.
Dong Dong Qiang, Dong Dong Qiang~
The time came to seven o'clock in the evening before I knew it.
Almost as soon as the bell rang at seven o'clock, the whole city seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and the sounds of various gongs and drums were heard endlessly.
The imperial blues roaming around the city appeared together at the intersection of the seven waterways in the Capital of Seven Waters - under the huge fountain.
The huge stage on the backs of the seven emperor blues slowly opened up, and finally formed a circular stage surrounding the huge fountain.
All the performers of the song and dance troupe stood on the circular stage, singing and dancing to the sound of music, attracting citizens from all over the city wearing masks and dragging their families with them to gather here.
"Everyone, it's time for us to get ready. Let's head to the huge stage to watch the show. At nine o'clock in the evening, we will take the Qishui Elevator to the roof of the Mayor's Building to attend the dinner hosted by Mr. Bingshan and watch the fireworks show together."
In the luxury hotel in Block 3, Robin glanced at the lively crowd on the street below, then turned back to Ann and others to announce today's personnel arrangements.
After hearing this arrangement, everyone in the Orn Pirates didn't think there was anything wrong.
Even Payton, who has never liked liveliness, was affected by the noisy festival atmosphere and looked less bitter and resentful than usual.
The group of people then put on their formal attire, put on their masks, left the hotel, and rushed toward the huge stage with the crowd around them.
"Um?"
Having just left the hotel and walked about a kilometer, Aoun, Yamato and Peyton had already merged into the crowd and issued an early warning.
Hostility, they noticed obvious hostility in the flow of people.
Subconsciously, I looked up and looked around. Because the crowd was dense and everyone was wearing masks, it was impossible to distinguish specifically who was radiating the hostility, but what was certain was that there were definitely a lot of people!
It doesn't make sense...
Aoun felt the warnings coming from all directions, and felt somewhat baffled.
It is absolutely impossible for CP9 to form such a large manpower, so where did the surrounding guys who are obviously hostile to them come from?
"Be careful, things are not right."
Almost at the moment Ornn issued a warning to his crew, several loud shouts rang out:
"Do it!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Almost as soon as the words fell, hundreds of figures in the surging crowd took out weapons hidden under their wide robes, slashed and swung at the surrounding passers-by, and at the same time rushed towards Ornn and others.
Screams rang out one after another in the dense crowd, and hundreds of innocent civilians fell into a pool of blood almost immediately after meeting each other.
Even one of the five head chefs was stabbed by a masked pirate because he was unable to follow Ornn and others' movements in time due to his inconvenient legs and feet.
Noticing the sudden tragic situation, more citizens were frightened and screamed, and the crowd fled in panic. However, due to the narrow road, they were all crowded together for a while, and many people were lost in the crowd. Squeezed into the waterway.
"Help!"
"Who are these guys?"
"Mr. Mayor, come and save us."
The adults shouted, the children cried, and the originally lively carnival instantly turned into a living hell.
Aoun and others looked at the pirates rushing towards them and the panicked and frightened citizens around them, their expressions became extremely ugly.
"Yamato, there's no need to distinguish between civilians and those bastards, just clear them all!"
Without any hesitation, Aoun directly signaled Yamato to immediately clear the field with Overlord Color.
The flow of people around them is too great. If all these civilians are not stunned, once a stampede occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
"clear!"
Yamato nodded, and the next second, the terrifying overlord-colored impact was immediately released by her without reservation.
Buzz!
The invisible impact instantly covered the entire No. 3 Block. Under the influence of this mental impact, the crowd fell in pieces like wheat.
In front of Aoun and others, there were only a handful of twenty or thirty people left who could barely sustain themselves from falling under the impact.
"Damn it, what kind of power is this riding horse?"
Wearing a horse-faced mask, "Spiky Head" felt the inexplicable power acting on him and couldn't help but roar.
"This...is this the same domineering domineering spirit as that adult?! Damn it, how could a being with such power appear here!"
The "Splitting Sky Knife" and the guys behind him who had the same goal felt the power exerted on themselves, and huge waves immediately set off in their hearts.
"The situation is wrong. This is completely different from what we planned!"
The "trapped man" looked at his subordinates who didn't know whether they were dead or alive. He already had the intention to retreat in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
"Want to run?"
Ornn's voice sounded behind him.
The next second, several lava pillars rose from behind "The Thorn" and others.
These huge lava pillars formed a semicircle, directly blocking the retreat of these people - because the crowd was frightened and ran away before, it created a space for Ornn to easily block the road.
Crack!
Yamato also grabbed Ken in his hand at this time, and threw out a horse phantom blade, easily freezing the open space behind them to prevent these scums who intended to attack them from escaping from this side.
The lava pillars and ice walls combined with the surrounding shops and houses formed a circular high wall, just like the prince's earth-shattering, directly surrounding all the people of the Ornn Pirates and the pirates who could still stand.
Ornn pointed at the pirates opposite with Mjolnir, and said in a cold voice:
"Tell me your mastermind, and I might be able to spare your life."
Crack!
The answer to Ornn was a huge blue-green flying slash.
After the "Sky-Splitting Blade" swung out this flying slash, he turned around and shouted to the stunned people around him:
"If you only think about running away, you're dead. We still have the advantage in numbers. Only by killing them all can we leave the Seven Water City alive!"
After hearing the words of the "Sky-Splitting Blade", the people who were originally in a trance woke up as if from a dream.
They all looked fiercely at the people of the Orn Pirates. "Sky-Splitting Blade" was right. If they still wanted to run away in this situation, they would be courting death. Only by uniting to kill Orn and the woman who used ice, they would have a chance to survive in this desperate situation.
Bang!
The flying foam hit the flying slash that was enough to cut the bluestone ground as easily as tofu, and the explosive ability it brought was suddenly triggered. Under the effect of this explosion, the flying slash lasted less than half a second before it completely shattered.
"Kill us? Just with you trash?"
Owen glanced at the guys wearing masks and whose faces could not be seen clearly, and turned to Peyton and others and said:
"Robin, you are responsible for protecting the five old gentlemen. As for Reya, you can each choose your own opponents. The rest is left to me and Yamato."
Although they did not have the slightest advantage in numbers, the people of the Orn Pirates were not afraid at all.
Peyton took the lead and locked his eyes directly on the "Raging Cannon" holding a cannon in the crowd.
Reya, who had already entered the Lion King transformation, glanced at the people present and stared at the "Vulture Flower" in the crowd who was big and strong, and whose breasts were obviously a woman.
Urki was carrying his huge pencil and was hesitating about who to find as his opponent. Something like a leather lasso flew from a distance and was put on his big pencil.
Following that, a huge force came, as if trying to take his pencil away.
"How dare you steal my weapon..." Ulki's eyes locked onto the "man in the suit" who was using his ability, and he subconsciously licked his lips. Then, his strong arms suddenly bulged, and he swung the big pencil hard, and threw the "man in the suit" up: "It's decided to be you!" "Then..." Orn and Yamato locked their eyes on the remaining "thorns" and "Sky-Splitting Sword", as well as the cadres behind them. They would deal with these scum. Whoosh~ Shave! Divine Foot. White Snake Drive! The two rushed forward tacitly, Orn faced the "Sky-Splitting Sword" who dared to swing a flying slash at him, and Yamato rushed towards the "thorns". Noticing Orn's attack, Sky-Splitting Sword gritted his teeth and swung the sword again, and another flying slash slashed at Orn, and at the same time his left hand also touched the flintlock at his waist. Bang bang bang! The trigger was pulled one after another, and three bullets followed the flying slash and attacked Orn.
Boom!
The flying droplets fell again with a strong sound of breaking wind, and once again easily shattered the flying slash.
As for the remaining three bullets, Orn was too lazy to dodge, and simply used the Armament Haki to defend his chest, allowing the three bullets to hit his chest.
Noticing that Orn did not dodge his bullets, a smile immediately appeared on the face under the mask of "Sky Blade".
He didn't choose to dodge, this guy is dead.
You know, even Lord Doflamingo was injured when he faced his "Sky Blade" at the beginning...
What Sky Blade never expected was...
Clang clang clang!
After three sounds of metal clashing, Orn suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and was surprised to find that his chest, which was defended with Armament Haki, was broken by the bullet.
Although the bullet barely broke through his Armament Haki and then embedded in his flesh because it had exhausted its power, he was still somewhat surprised.
"A bullet with flying slash? Is it similar to Izo's attack method?"
After thinking clearly about the principle of how the bullet hurt him, Ornn unconsciously smiled.
What kind of counterattack can be caused by physical damage that can break through his Armament Haki after being amplified by Mjolnir and rebounded by the anti-armor?
Puff~
Under Ornn's expectant gaze, the next second, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of the mouth of the Sky-Splitting Blade, and three blood marks appeared on his chest.
Tearing open his shirt and looking down at the scar on his chest, the "Sky-Splitting Blade" actually doubted his life for a moment.
What's going on?
Why was that guy still standing, but he was in pain as if he had been hit by a bullet?
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
Aoun looked at the "Splitting Sky Knife" in the distance with a smile and asked slowly.
Whoosh~
Almost at the same time he asked this question, a blond figure wearing a mask appeared in front of him, still shouting:
"Spring Punch!"
clang!
Aoun didn't even glance at the fist that was about to fall on him. He only raised his hand slightly, and Fei Mo's huge blade accurately blocked the flying fist.
"burst!"
Then Aoun shouted lowly.
A terrifying explosion suddenly occurred on Feimo's blade.
The flying figure screamed and was blown away by the terrifying explosion. It fell to the ground and kept moaning.
Glancing at the charred figure that had been blasted, his eyes rested on his spring-like hands and feet, and Aoun couldn't help but have a look of understanding on his face.
"Hyena" Bellamy, the user with spring fruit ability?
Was it originally sent by Doflamingo... But I had no enmity with him, so why would he come to cause trouble for me?
Just as he was thinking about it, Jian Wen Se Fu issued another warning.
Aoun did not dodge, but once again covered his body with the weapon color.
Tsk~
Two blood flowers splashed on the chests of Aoun and "Hollow Sword" at the same time.
The question is... how much health does Ornn, who has stacked thousands of layers of Heart's Strength, have, and how much health does your "Sky Splitter" have?
This injury is a drop in the bucket for Ornn, and the bleeding has begun to stop under the unique animal-type recovery power of Ornn's fruit.
But the "Splitting Sky Knife" almost lost half of his life due to the retaliation of this knife.
Glancing at the "Sky Splitter" who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, Aoun walked forward slowly and stepped on his chest.
As his thoughts moved slightly, a drop of magma dripped down his fingertips and landed on the "Splitting Sky Knife" who was stepped on the chest and unable to fight back or dodge.
Tsk~
Accompanied by painful screams, the stench of burnt flesh entered Ornn's nasal cavity:
"You don't need to pretend to be a tough guy with me. I already know who the person behind your scenes is. I just want to ask you one thing. The clown and I had no grudges in the past and no worries in the recent days. Why did he send you to find trouble for me?"
Others may not know what the clown mentioned by Aoun means, but "Sky Splitter" knows that the code name of the adult he follows in the underground world is "joker".
How did he know that Lord Doflamingo was the mastermind behind this incident?
Obviously he has not revealed the identity of Lord Doflamingo...
Is it just a guess? No, I can't cause unnecessary suspicion for that adult.
"I can not understand what you say."
"Splitting Sky Knife" tried to be tough.
"Don't want to say it? Then don't say it. Anyway, I will ask him sooner or later."
Aoun frowned, and the magma in his hand poured directly onto his body. In just a few seconds, the "sky cracking knife" melted into a ball of coke...
I was very sleepy at night, so I went to bed early, and it was 4,000 yuan today.
