Chapter 157: Facing Im
Marijoa, Pangu City.
"Huh? Isn't this Saint Mataz? Riding this disgusting fish again, your taste really lowers our dignity!"
Kevin looked over, because he didn't know what the fat worm was called, so he could only curse: "What are you talking about? The pirates you ride are not as rare as my fishmen!"
After cursing twice, Kevin whipped Felsher's back and passed by.
"Hurry up, you stupid fish! If it weren't for you, would I be so embarrassed?"
Felsher Tiger said nothing and crawled aimlessly again.
Fortunately, he basically didn't meet Saint Mataz's people along the way. If he talked to them, his personality and habits would be exposed.
He has used the name of stupid fish many times in such a short time, mainly in the two conversations between the main body and Spandine when they came up, and there are so many more that he really doesn't know.
Soon, Kevin, who was swinging the whip, was gradually approaching the end of the detector intentionally or unintentionally.
But this time, even with the identity of a Celestial Dragon, it seems that he can't move forward.
The guards beside him are afraid of being killed, but if they continue to move forward, they will also die.
"Saint Mataz."
"Hmm?"
The two guards stood in front of the crawling Tiger, and then said: "Further ahead is the forbidden area, you should know."
Forbidden area?
Kevin had expected that the giant mechanical soldier would not be placed casually like ordinary objects.
It is precisely because of this that he would rather wait for more than three days just to be able to put on a Celestial Dragon vest.
But now it seems that the place where it is placed is a forbidden area for Celestial Dragons. In memory, it seems that there are only places like the flowers of Im and the secret place where the giant straw hat exists.
So... the mechanical soldier is also in this position?
"Of course I know it is a forbidden area."
Kevin glanced at him: "It is because I know that I want to go and see. Do you want to stop the honorable Celestial Dragon?"
The two guards looked at each other faintly, with some fear in their eyes.
They finally encountered such a thing. They could not stop the noble Tianlong people, but if Saint Mataz entered that area, they would most likely be killed directly.
If they were lucky, they might survive, but if they were unlucky...
Kevin ignored the two people and waved the whip to let Fersher Tiger below continue to move forward.
The two guards clenched their hands and followed very nervously.
As long as they were not discovered, they would be fine after leaving.
They could only comfort themselves in this way.
What relieved them later was that Saint Mataz obviously knew the seriousness of the forbidden area, so he carefully avoided the guards in the following process.
Fifteen minutes later, an ordinary building had a heavy iron door, and although the guy guarding the door did not wear a glass cover, his clothes were completely different from those ordinary guards.
Kevin thought about it and walked out directly. This scene almost scared the two guards with him to death.
The huge energy source of the probe is in this building.
Kevin was stopped as soon as he approached.
"Saint Mataz, this is not the place you should come to."
Sure enough, the two gatekeepers did not give the so-called Celestial Dragons face.
One of the guards stared at Kevin's two guards: "Bring the Celestial Dragons to the forbidden area. Death penalty!"
As soon as the voice fell, a cold light flashed.
"Puff!"
Blood fell to the ground, and two ordinary guards were killed. Kevin jumped and cursed: "You two bastards dared to kill my guards. Do you know who I am? And you dare not salute me when you see me? You two idiots!"
"Idiot?"
The gatekeeper raised his head slightly and looked at Kevin and said: "Another idiot from the Don Quixote family. Can't your brain remember such an important thing?"
The other gatekeeper's words were also full of sarcasm: "The Don Quixote family, who were able to make a move to break away from the Celestial Dragons decades ago, have become more and more stupid."
With just two sentences, Kevin understood something.
There are not only slug Celestial Dragons like Saint Mataz above Mary Geoise, but also the Knights of God who are in charge of the punishment of Celestial Dragons.
From the perspective of the prison, the two guys in front of him have a value of 320,000 and 480,000 respectively.
But it's just a mechanical soldier, how could it need such a celestial dragon to guard it?
"Don Quixote Mataz Saint, leave here immediately, and the Knights of God will notify you of your punishment later!"
"As descendants of the same twenty kings, it's a shame to have a stupid guy like you. Leave immediately!"
Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about whether to do it directly.
The value of the two guys in front of him is worth 800,000. If he goes back to chop Saint Mataz, the value will be close to two diamond treasure chests.
"I just happened to stroll here, and there is still a punishment? I am... a noble celestial dragon!"
The moment the voice fell, Kevin jumped directly from Tiger.
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
Someone is coming.
Kevin kicked Tiger: "Stupid fish! Let me fall, I will go back to punish you!"
At this time, a voice came.
"Saint Mataz."
Kevin looked over and saw Saint Satan, whom his original body had seen three days ago, looking at him with a scepter in both hands.
At the same time, the two guys guarding the place bowed slightly to Saint Satan.
"Come with me."
Satan said as he pushed open the door of the building, and a cold current surged out from inside in an instant.
Kevin thought about it, and because he was a shadow clone, he boldly followed him, and snorted at the two guys guarding the door when he entered the door.
But as soon as he entered the door, this chill...
It was not as cold as Kuzan's frozen fruit. The chill here seemed to be more like targeting people's spirit or soul.
After entering the door, Saint Satan followed Kevin in front, and Fersher Tiger, who was kicked twice, stayed outside.
This place... or the interior of this building, is completely different from what you see outside.
And when Saint Satan walked to an entrance leading to the underground, Kevin also saw four other figures.
Or... five.
This place... is exactly the entrance where Im walked down the huge steps to the underground in his memory. There is a huge straw hat under the ground here.
And how was he discovered?
"Finally we meet, the revolutionary army... sir?"
The Five Elders appeared around, and behind them a black figure wearing a crown looked over.
His pupils that resembled the eyes of the Samsara Eye, as well as the attitude of the Five Elders and the scene here, Kevin knew the other party's identity... Im.
"I didn't expect that there is another existence above the Five Elders, who are the pinnacle of world power..."
Kevin pretended to be amazed, and then asked: "Can you tell me how you found me? Although there are many flaws, I am not stupid enough to meet you."
In his memory, neither Fershe Tiger nor the future revolutionary army captain and Sabo who invaded Mary Geoise mentioned being found directly.
He could understand that he could not teleport, but he could not accept that he was found directly like this.
"If you hadn't arrived at this place, perhaps no one would have been able to discover your invasion in a short time."
Satan Saint kept silent.
He didn't say much, but Kevin also had a vague guess.
At this time, Yimu said: "I'm curious... Since the target is here, do you know what is here?"
Kevin smiled: "Why should I tell you?"
Yim's voice was still calm: "After your conversation with them before, I thought you wouldn't come to Mary Geoise. But since you are here, you can't leave again, so I thought you would tell me."
In a very short time, Kevin's shadow clone thought about how to get the words.
This operation can be said to be dead before the mission is accomplished. After all, at this moment, he doesn't even know whether the huge mechanical soldier is under it.
"Although I am likely to die if I am discovered and cannot teleport away, if we talk...should you show some sincerity?"
Kevin said and looked at Yimu: "The things below are very important, right? Or are they only important to you?"
Yim didn't speak, but kept staring at Kevin.
After a while, he said, "You don't have the fear of death, nor do you have the emotion of regret. Even those who put life and death aside will at least have a little regret after learning the reason for being exposed, but you don't have these two emotions."
"So... are you sure you can leave here? Or are you really not afraid of death at all, and don't regret being discovered because of approaching here?"
Kevin sighed, so sometimes it's really hard to talk to these old monsters.
Just like the last time Freifans called the Five Elders, after a back-and-forth test, neither side got the information they wanted, and could only analyze some insignificant things from the doubts raised.
However, the shadow clone will be exposed after being blown up by them, so it can be used as bait for a try.
"In such a world, death is not the most frightening thing, right? As for regret, since we have come here and have been discovered, there is no point in regretting."
Kevin spread his hands: "So even if you are facing a person who cannot escape, you are still so timid and say nothing after asking questions. The cognition that all creatures except yourself are ants seems ridiculous at this time."
Im was silent for a while.
"Revolutionary Army... In fact, organizations with similar names have appeared more than once in history."
"But in the end, they were all destroyed and thoroughly cleaned up like stinky rats in the gutter."
Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly: "I remember that Marijoa was also invaded two hundred years ago, and there were even heavy casualties."
This made Saint Satan frown: "An iron shell without its owner can cause minimal damage to the Holy Land. If it is not still useful, that thing will be vulnerable."
Im behind him said: "It's just that the ignorant people want to give confidence to you latecomers, but this is not the world we need."
At this point, Im raised his hand slightly.
"From the beginning to the end, no matter which generation of the revolutionary army, we have never considered them as opponents. This is true in the past, present, and future."
"Although I know from your eyes that you have something to rely on, I really want to know what this reliance is... Kill him."
The moment the voice fell, a cold light flashed by.
"Shua!"
Facing the appearance of Saint Mataz, Kevin's shadow clone suddenly pulled back.
The long sword of Saint Nasujuro swept past, and a chill spread from his body.
Kevin's retreating eyes were slightly fixed.
The next moment, a black sharp suddenly blocked the direction of retreat.
"Bang!"
Turning past, the sharp claws like a sharp blade pierced and corroded the ground.
After landing, what appeared in front of Kevin at this time were five...
No, six monster-like huge figures. Even the few people who had not yet made a move, including Im, stared at him.
A punch was thrown, and the shadow clone with a physical body had one-third of the power of the main body, but the physical state of the main body was different.
Kevin pushed away the sharp touch and dodged to rush towards the gate.
"Without the ability to teleport, you have no chance!"
A huge strange bird appeared in front of Kevin, a bright light bloomed in its mouth, and it arrived in front of Kevin in an instant.
"Boom!"
The ground shook, but despite the noise, there was no sign of anyone coming in from outside the building.
In the wide corridor, Kevin shuttled between stone pillars, using his split spirit to open his observation Haki to the maximum extent.
"Where is your long sword that can swing out flames?"
Nasu Shoulang Sheng was like a giant skeletal horse, and the cold current attacked again as the long sword swung.
All the directions that could be dodged were blocked.
The next moment, a huge basin suddenly appeared. Kevin struggled slightly under the terrifying suction and was directly sucked in.
"Bang."
It has been only more than an hour since entering the building, and only three minutes since Im's order was issued.
It was so easy to kill the cloaked man, even the conceited Five Elders felt that something was wrong.
The sandworm that devoured Kevin regained its human form: "There is no corpse, but he can't use the ability of teleportation. We have been cut off from the way of transmission because of him, and even now we can't pass it..."
Satan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned around and knelt down to Im: "Your servants have failed in their duties."
Following him, the Five Elders all knelt on one knee and called themselves ministers to Im.
Im was silent for a while: "Sometimes insects will use certain abilities to trouble the gods. Being able to leave like this, it seems that the known ones are not all his abilities."
"Saint Mataz's life has not been extinguished. Find him and find out what happened."
"One time is enough for such a thing."
"Set the target here, then they may have known a lot of things they shouldn't know."
Im went to the underground passage, and the sound gradually dissipated.
The Five Elders all frowned and half-knelt on the ground respectfully.
...
Two days later, the unconscious Saint Mataz was found by a guard in the toilet.
After the Knights of God verified his identity, the Celestial Dragon who had been in a coma for five days did not get angry or even curse. He went back to the luxurious room of his residence and shivered under the quilt.
The guard who found him was Kevin's other shadow clone, who was dead when the real guard entered the toilet and moved the body.
Shadow clone No. 1 was most likely failed. After the shadow clone dissipated, the memory would be fed back to the main body, but not to him, No. 2.
However, whether it was a failure or other reasons, his mission was different from that of Shadow clone No. 1.
If No. 1 failed, Saint Mataz would definitely be searched out, and his true identity would be strictly questioned. In the end, it was indeed verified by the Knights of God.
In this case, the best choice was naturally the guard who came for the search.
Now, he needs to start his own mission.
…
The basement where Mary Joa imprisoned slaves.
Two days ago, Kevin's No. 1 shadow clone originally planned to let them stay in the hall of Saint Mataz. It was late at night when he finished the first task.
At that time, they returned and liberated the slaves together with No. 2. As a result, they were also locked up because their whereabouts were exposed.
However, thanks to Kevin's shadow clone, Saint Mataz, who was frightened by the name of the cloaked man, has not asked them to play games for two days.
Without the so-called entertainment programs of the Celestial Dragons, there will naturally be no deaths.
All slaves are imprisoned in this underground prison, but each slave belongs to a different master.
In just two days, there are more than a dozen people who share the same suffering here.
"Brother Tiger."
"Yeah."
"Do you know what happened to that guy? After you left that day, that guy came back and went crazy as if he was afraid of something. He ran in and went to the second-floor room. He yelled and screamed as soon as the door was locked."
Tiger looked at his compatriots wearing collars, handcuffs and shackles beside him: "I don't know. I only saw the Five Elders take him into a building that the Celestial Dragons could not approach, and then he was brought back."
In fact, Tiger was also feeling lucky at this moment.
The two guards were killed. If he wasn't just a slave in their eyes, he might have been killed too.
But why did Saint Mataz's behavior that day make him feel a little strange?
And that building, even the Tianlong people were not allowed to approach it.
"I'm just curious. It's so funny that I can make the Celestial Dragons feel scared. The guy ran upstairs like crazy."
The fishman looked at the three gunshot wounds on his abdomen. These were left by the so-called game.
If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been killed by the game long ago.
Tiger didn't answer him, because no matter what, they couldn't escape from this hell.
After a while, the fishman lowered his head and sobbed.
"Boss, I miss Fishman Island."
Just one sentence made Fershe Tiger's eyes red.
He also missed his hometown. In this place like hell, he missed it all the time.
Just like he mocked the three girls before, he asked the same question at this moment: "Boss... Can we... Can we go back alive?"
Fershe Tiger lowered his head and didn't answer this compatriot again.
A few years ago, in the city of Impel Down, where no one had ever escaped, the Golden Lion Shiki cut off his legs and escaped successfully.
But this is Marijoa. No slaves have ever escaped from here. Never.
Ten thousand meters above the sky, how can you leave at such a height? The only elevator, the time it takes to reach the sea level below is enough to kill them.
Unless... the whole of Marijoa falls into chaos.
At the same time, a voice sounded outside the cell, and then the door of the basement was opened, and a guard walked in.
But Fershe Tiger sniffed his nostrils and was stunned.
Bloody smell!
There is something wrong with this guard!
In Marijoa, such a strong smell of blood cannot be only one or two people, and the place where the dead are is very close to here.
It is now the second half of the night, and basically all the slaves have been locked up, and the group of Celestial Dragons also need to rest.
At the same time, like Fershe Tiger, there are about five or six people who noticed this, and stood up in the prison at the same time and looked towards the entrance.
"Shh..."
Kevin made a gesture to silence.
In an instant, everyone in the underground cage reacted.
"Help..."
A woman who can still be seen as beautiful, was about to shout for help, and a female pirate with a scar on her face next to her knocked her out with a knife.
"Bang."
The sound of a woman falling to the ground was heard, and some people quickly covered their mouths.
Kevin smiled: "Now I say listen to you, this is your only chance to leave, understand?"
Everyone, including Felsher Tiger, nodded seriously.
Kevin glanced at the few people in his memory.
There are the three Hancock sisters, Felsher Tiger, and Kerla, one of the cadres of the Future Revolutionary Army.
"I will throw the keys of the collar, handcuffs, and shackles into each room and unlock them myself."
"After unlocking, everyone comes out one by one, and I will send you away. Is it forbidden to make a statement during the process? If someone wants to make a loud noise like the woman just now, then I will kill him without hesitation."
"This escape is related to the lives of all of you. I will not let everyone take risks for one person."
"Whether you have been discovered or see anything or something, don't scream or go crazy!"
"Believe me, the throat will be cut by me before the sound is made."
After the voice fell, Kevin threw the bunch of keys he had just obtained into the prison.
Then, people of all races helped each other to unlock the locks, and the cells were opened one by one.
Kevin finally came to a dirty little girl, who was curled up in a corner. Even though her handcuffs and shackles had been opened, she was still trembling and did not come out.
At this time, Tiger, who came out of the cell, came over, as if he was afraid that Kevin would get angry and kill the little girl.
So he said in a low voice: "Benefactor, can I be responsible for taking her out? I promise that she will not make a loud noise throughout the whole process."
A middle-aged man also came over and looked at the little girl with pity.
"I... I can also promise. Benefactor, she... she is just a child."
...
