Chapter 254 Freedom Does Not Necessarily Mean Beauty (6k)

There are no buildings on Colombas Island, at least not yet.

Sage walked for a while and stopped at a place. A red dot appeared in his eyes. He stared at the ground under his feet for a while, and then moved forward again.

You can feel the historical atmosphere remaining in this earth through seeing, hearing and color.

There were buildings on the ground here a long time ago, but now they have all disappeared, and no trace can be found.

As he got closer to the center, Sage felt a little hot. The heat came from the ground. The closer he got to the center, the more he could feel the heat dissipating.

Even if it changes from snowy weather to stormy weather, it cannot be said that the heat is completely dissipated.

After walking and resting for almost a day and a half, Sage followed Luo Bo's directions and reached his destination.

I saw a huge circular wall in the center of the island. Where Sag was facing, I could see a gate, similar to the shape of the Gate of Justice, but much smaller than that. There was an anvil on the door. sign, tightly closed.

"This is it."

Luo Bo pointed to the door and said: "I came out from here, passed through the door, and then there is a door to the underground. That is where we live. When you enter here, will you give us freedom?" "

"Hmph, maybe you will have nothing but freedom."

Sage smiled and held Luo Bo's head, "Kid, the world outside is not that simple. Let me teach you a lesson first, that is freedom."

As he spoke, he reached out to the side, and a demon subordinate offered a cannonball and placed it in his hand.

Sage weighed the cannonball and grinned with a ferocious expression, "It doesn't mean it's good!"

boom!

The sound of breaking through the air came out instantly, and the cannonball turned into an afterimage and flew out quickly from his hand. It expanded in the middle and turned into a huge object twenty times in diameter. At that moment, it hit the door.

Just when the shell was hit hard and was about to explode, a layer of extremely fast ice covered the side walls, completely freezing the ground and the gate, and also froze the explosion.

The half-destroyed gate and city wall were frozen to the point of being broken. The fire and impact from the explosion caused the frozen ice to extend a lot further.

"Freeze?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Lily subconsciously turned her head to look over, her pupils tightened, and she subconsciously held the hilt of the sword.

From the city wall not far away, a man wearing a navy uniform, an eyepatch on his forehead, and half of his body covered in frost slowly appeared.

"call"

He spit out a mouthful of ice mist and said slowly: "Ah la la, did you do such a dangerous thing as soon as you came here? Sage, Ice Age!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly slapped the ground, and the frosty air condensed into a layer of ice on the ground, which was about to cover the front quickly.

"Hundred times speed·Galaxy impact!"

But just for a moment, Kuzan's body seemed to be hit by something, and he was delayed for a moment.

At this moment, the terrifying figure with white hair and a grin on his face was reflected in his field of vision. His fists were wrapped with domineering energy and he punched hard.

boom! !

Like a cannonball, Kuzan's body crashed directly into the city wall, smashing a hole in the thick city wall and creating a huge crater at its root.

"You can't stop me, Kuzan, hahahaha!"

Sage stood still on his feet, laughed loudly, and quickly punched towards the frozen city gate, "Galaxy Impact!"

The domineering impact shattered the thick ice, and together with the doors and city walls that should have been broken, they all collapsed under the impact, falling to the ground together with the broken ice, and a huge hole was carved out. gap.

"I use cannonballs purely to save effort. It's not that I can't defeat such things!"

Sage bared his teeth at the hole and said, "Would it be better if you don't underestimate me like you did before?"

The destructive power of the North Star Fist makes it difficult to destroy ice and buildings.

"Get in!"

Lily didn't hesitate, drew out her rapier, and rushed in with her men.

If Qing Pheasant is here, Sage will definitely not be able to take action, so the rest will be up to them.

"Ah la la, I have never underestimated you."

Inside the pit, a hand covered in frost lay on the edge. Kuzan covered his head with one hand, twisted his neck and stood up from the pit. He raised his hand and shot a huge ice bird.

"Violent pheasant mouth!"

"Galaxy Impact!"

boom!

The ice bird was blasted into cracks by the impact of the domineering force. After flying forward for a certain distance, the whole thing turned into ice cubes and scattered.

At this moment, Sag's figure disappeared, quickly appeared on the side of Kuzan, and punched him again.

boom! !

Full of domineering, the hand covered with ice violently collided with Sager's fist.

Bang bang bang!

During the collision, Sage's fist disappeared visibly, but Aoki's eye pupils also showed a red dot. The ice cubes on his arms expanded rapidly and moved quickly around, making a series of muffled sounds.

It wasn't until the last punch that Sager's fist emerged, and he punched Qingzhi again, sending out a shock wave to separate the two.

Sarge spun around in the air, and after landing on the ground, he looked at the frost that appeared on his arm, clenched his fist, and shook the frost away.

Kuzan took a few steps back. The ice on his arm shattered into slag and fell down quickly.

"You guys are really idle. Are all generals so idle?" Sage asked.

"Of course not, mainly because the things this time are more important, and I also want to show some performance, so I came here."

Kuzan scratched his head: "After all, we have to fight for the marshal, can you just leave, so that I don't have to do it."

"That won't work, I also have my eyes on that thing!"

Sage smiled grimly: "Why don't you leave, I think you seem to be quite absent-minded in this place."

"No deal."

Kuzan sighed, "Then we can only fight."

"I think so too."

Sage twisted his body for a while, making crackling sounds, and a breath of white air blew out of his nose. The cloak on his back fluttered out, and his figure rapidly swelled at this moment.

"When there is a problem that cannot be resolved, it is time to use force. I will definitely win in the end!"

"It's hard to say."

Kuzan looked at the increasingly ferocious tall body and said, "If you underestimate this company, you will suffer, Sag."

...

"Lightning Waltz!"

Inside the city wall, a flash of electricity burst out from a group of black-clad guards holding weapons, and it was stirred up around them, bursting open wounds on their bodies, spurting blood, and falling to the ground.

Lily appeared in the middle of the crowd, and the white thunder in her hand swung out sword flowers, shook off the blood on the sword, and put it into the scabbard.

"You guy!"

A group of guards rushed over from the side. Lily didn't even change her posture, and didn't look over there. She just said to Luo Bo behind her: "Where is the position."

Swish!

"Hair binding·finger gun."

As soon as the voice fell, the snake-like hair rushed into the group of people, and the front formed a spike, piercing the black-clad guards one by one.

Marika walked out from the back with a smile on her face and said, "Let's make a quick decision."

The building inside the wall is a standard mine building, with tracks and guard posts, but there is nothing iconic. The mother steel is definitely not here, so it can only be underground.

"This way."

Robo found a direction and led people to the center of the wall.

"Chatter, chatter, chatter."

Deep underground, in a room that looks like a control room, an old man in a white coat laughed strangely:

"Someone actually broke in here, hey, Capa, go and solve it, wait!"

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly condensed, staring at the people running in the surveillance, and his eyes were on the group of people behind the blonde with big waves.

"The eyes are so black that there is no white in them. Hmm. There are tattoos like black and gold stripes on their bodies. They are actually such an ancient race. They still exist!"

"Good! Great! These are the best laborers. With these people, my experiments will be better! Kappa, Gallus, go and catch them! Chatter, chatter, chatter!"

In the spacious space behind him, there is a round water container, wrapped in rock wall iron ore, constantly emitting bubbles, as if it is constantly taking shape.

Next to the container, there are two people standing, one is as strong as a bear, and the other wears glasses and is thin.

"I know them!"

The bear-like guy bared his teeth, "It's the popular Calamity Pirates. It's a pity that I didn't see Calamity, otherwise I would have wanted to defeat him and prove myself!"

"Let's defeat these guys first." The thin man pushed his glasses, raised his mouth, and showed a confident smile, "The mine below can be equipped with a lot of things. I really want to see their desperate faces."

"Chatter, chatter, chatter, I'll see them all. I saw them, they are all here!"

The old man's eyes exuded a mechanical red light, he raised his hand and pressed the red button on the console.

"Just catch them all, the guys who came this time are also very good experimental materials!"

Splash!

On the sea where the ship was docked, the storm stirred up even bigger waves. In the big waves, machines that looked like fish and humans spliced ​​together crawled out of the sea, densely packed like insects, and ran over.

"What is that!"

Hawkins' eyelids trembled, and he looked at the sea in horror.

"Too many!"

Urki hugged the pencil pole, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

These things came fiercely, their needle-like feet nailed the hull, quickly climbed to the deck, and the fish-shaped upper body opened its sharp teeth and bit them directly.

"Demon-slaying appearance!"

Hawkins instantly transformed, sprayed a large number of iron nails from his mouth, hitting these strange fish, but except for penetrating through the strange fish, it failed to slow them down at all.

"Destroy evil and show righteousness!"

Just when those strange fish were about to pounce on Hawkins, a pencil pole sprang out from the side, swung forward violently, and rolled up a strong wind, blowing those strange fish away and falling into the sea.

Urki swung the pencil pole in a circle with himself as the center to blow up the strong wind. When smashing those strange fish, the wind force inside also blew them away.

But there are too many of them!

No matter how hard Urki smashed, there were still many strange fish that pounced on them. Even those that were smashed away, with their mechanical legs in the lower body flattened, still had the power to move, gradually occupying the deck.

"Scatter the bats!"

Just as the two were about to collapse and be pounced on by the strange fish, a series of tiny bats suddenly attacked from behind, biting the strange fish, grabbing the strange fish around them and flopping them out, clearing some space.

On the second steering platform on the rear deck, Moriah looked at the densely packed strange fish with a gloomy face, "What are these?"

As he said, he suddenly fell from the platform and stepped into the strange fish. He slapped his giant hand with sharp gloves forward and swept away a group of strange fish.

At the same time, all the bats entered his feet, forming a shadow, which became longer and longer, floating up from the ground, forming a shadow spear, piercing the strange fish in front from the mechanical body of the lower body to the flesh of the upper body, turning it into a skewer.

"Shadow horn spear!"

The penetration of the shadow spear made a narrow road in front, but that was it. More strange fish were still on the deck, and the ocean was constantly climbing up, soon filling the gap created by Moriah.

This made Moriah look even gloomier. These beings had shadows. According to theory, his ability could grab a handful and cut directly, which could cut off the shadows of these things to the greatest extent.

But the shadow of a dead object is useless. Cutting off the shadow of this aspect cannot increase your combat power, nor can it be stuffed into a body that is also dead.

Because it is dead.

Moriah's ability cannot deal with these things.

"Where is Renidia!"

Hawkins shouted: "She is the power fruit ability user, there should be a way!"

"No need to look for her!"

Moriah swept away the strange fish in front of him with one claw, and a shadow clone of the same size as him appeared in front of him, rushing up and sweeping away the strange fish.

"Do you still need to send a little girl for such a small matter! If so, wouldn't it make me, a former Seven Warlords of the Sea, useless!"

Although he said so, the strange fish nailed to the shadow with mechanical feet, but were quickly bounced off by the shadow. However, no matter how strong the defense is, once the number increases, it will still be submerged.

A large number of strange fish opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and bit the body of the shadow. When the number increases, the shadow turns into a black spot on the ground and can't maintain its shape.

Moria's abilities were completely restrained against such a large number of dead fish, which attacked fiercely and were inanimate objects. In some aspects, Moria was not as useful as Ulki.

Because Ulki's strength was strong enough, the pencil column could also sweep away many strange fish.

But this large number of fish could not be dealt with by one or two people.

Hawkins had turned his sword into straw and used a soft straw whip to stab. Although it could pierce the metal of the lower body of the strange fish, it was also a drop in the bucket.

The three people could not clear the strange fish on the deck with pure physical attacks, and could only watch them increase in number.

Even if the destruction point was wrong, these strange fish could continue to move. It was useless to just hit the mechanical legs. There seemed to be something movable inside the fish body. After losing the mechanical legs, they could move away on this deck.

It was not enough to just hit the fish body. The mechanical legs below could also move. However, with a large number of them, it was impossible to hit accurately. However, hitting more times would consume more physical strength.

But now, the deck is still full of strange fish

Abandon the ship?

As soon as this thought flashed through Moria's mind, he immediately abandoned it.

This was the first time that Sager gave him a task, and he was determined to make Sager win!

Just because he was restrained, he had to give up?

In that case.

What dream is there to pin on!

"Don't underestimate me!"

Moria's long neck was bulging with blue veins, his face was ferocious, and he waved his hand and swept it away, and he hit a shock wave with different strength, which shattered the group of strange fish that flew away.

Even the strange fish below were damaged and destroyed to varying degrees.

This feeling

Moria was stunned for a moment, looking at his hand, and gradually showed a strange smile: "Hehehe, so that's it, slowly coming back"

Bang!

He waved his hand again, and hit another impact, sweeping out a semi-fan-shaped blank area from the dense strange fish in front.

"Then let me see how much has been restored!"

The new world he entered after many years also made him familiar with the power of his will after many years.

Domineering!

Inside the city wall.

Lily and others found a door embedded in the ground in the center, with a control lever next to it. After pushing it open, the door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a slanted track.

Going down carefully along the track, the first thing you face is a dark place, and at the end of the dark place, there is a fiery red light. After walking to the end, the full picture of the firelight is revealed.

Those are furnaces that emit extremely high heat and are red all over. Next to the furnaces are various iron slags. In addition to the firelight in the furnace, black ash is everywhere, making the black fog here thick.

Outside the furnace, there are a large number of low bungalows, some of which are still lit with weak candlelight, while some of the candlelight has been extinguished, and there are not many people.

Correspondingly, in this underground world, there are many people pulling carts and carrying things back and forth along the track.

These people were wearing dirty miners' clothes, and their whole bodies were almost stained like black coal balls. Basically, only a pair of eyes could be seen.

And those eyes had long lost their spirit and became dull. The facial features below the eyes were also expressionless, like walking corpses.

Lily looked at these people with a frown. Her observation Haki was very sensitive to the breath, and because she often practiced the breathing of all things, Lily's observation Haki was even more acute.

The normal way of seeing and hearing is to sharpen your own perception and detect the breath of objects, whether they are living or dead.

But in Lily's case, she can judge some things by 'breathing'.

These people can no longer be considered alive.

It feels more like a layer of skin.

but

Lily glanced at Luo Bo next to her and said, "Is there anyone who doesn't have cold syndrome?"

Luo Bo nodded: "They are all down there. This is the first floor. My home is on the third floor. There are many people who are not sick there. But there are too many mines here. I don't know how to get there."

When he first escaped, he hid in the iron ore cart, so he couldn't remember the way up.

"Let's divide into two teams. There should be no mother steel here."

Lily said to Marika: "Each of us will lead a team and go from two directions. One team will always be able to find the way down and see what's inside."

As for why not more points.

There are too many mines and it is a strange place. No one knows if there will be any accidents if a dozen or so people go in in a group.

These demons have not fully grown up yet. They are all elite soldiers after Sage. It would be a pity to lose them here.

Training is training, but they cannot be allowed to die deliberately.

"No problem, I'll choose the right." Marika nodded, splitting up half of the group and walking to the right.

"Then I'll choose left."

Lily led a group of people to select a mine from the left and went deep into it.

Only Luo Bo looked left and right, and finally chose the gentle-faced black-haired elder sister.

Although the blond sister was nice, she was too coercive and he couldn't adapt to it. The black-haired eldest sister was more gentle.

Marika on the right led people across the dark mine and down, but at this moment, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look behind.

"Mr. Marika, is there any problem?" a demon asked.

"No"

Marika shook her head, "I always feel like someone is following us. Is it an illusion?"

She led the people down and passed the second level, which was like a spider web.

If the first layer of this excavated underground is a large furnace specially used for tempering steel, the second layer is the various mines that were previously excavated, shaped like a spider web, and are still being extended around.

After all, it is known as an iron ore island and its iron ore resources are very rich.

When it reached the third level, it became an 'island'. Wherever the mine went, there was flat land, but around it, there was something red like magma.

It was water turned from iron, and it all appeared on the third level, dividing the flat ground from the flat ground.

What Marika went down to was one of the islands.

"Wrong location."

She looked into the distance and could see a small flat land in the distance, emitting white light, which was incompatible with all the buildings that could be seen here.

Special means there is something.

"Go back and choose another one." Marika said.

"Hey, hey, hey, I can't go back."

A gloomy voice sounded from the cave above. From behind Marika, people with numb expressions walked out of the mine one after another.

Some people seemed familiar to Marika, as if she had seen them on the first floor.

"oh"

Marika still kept smiling, "It seems that I felt right, I did follow you."

She raised her head, looked at the dense caves above, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hey, hey, before you ask someone else's name, it's polite to say your own name. But it doesn't matter. I know you, Marika the Crow, are a very nice woman."

The voice gave another deep smile: "My name is Garrus, the manager of Columbus Company. The boss asked me to capture you alive. Surrender. There is a big difference between your number and mine."

Those expressionless people walked out of the mine one by one and surrounded Marika's troops. At a glance, there were at least a thousand people!
