Chapter 280
You Are a Defeated Marine
However, just as his fist was about to fall, a chill pierced his neck. This made Hernando’s pupils shrink and his fist subconsciously stretched up.
Clang!!!
A huge force swung Hernando out and he hit the rock wall at the bottom of the hill, causing a depression.
“Cough!”
Hernando coughed violently and gritted his teeth. He stood still and pulled himself out of the rock wall and looked at the young man who appeared beside Zephyr.
That person was holding a black saber with a golden electric light on the blade and a cigar in his mouth. He looked up at him and said, “Advanced Armament Haki? You’re not good at it. Is it only enough for one punch?”
There was a cut on his arm. Even with the enhancement of Haki, blood still flowed down.
Hernando looked at his arm and casually flung the blood away. He frowned at the person in front of him and said with fear, “Luciru Kuro? Why are you here?”
He recognized the newcomer, the new generation of Marines who had shone in the War on Top.
“What are you saying…”
Kuro put the knife on his shoulder and exhaled the smoke. “I am a Marine Captain. This is my base. Where else can I go?”
“On the other hand, you did well. A former Vice-Admiral went to be a pirate? For what? Pirate King? You really chased your dreams until I wanted to vomit!”
“Lord Hernando!”
The pirate who was about to make a move jumped down and said worriedly, “Are you okay, Lord Hernando?”
Hernando took a deep look at Kuro and shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. With him here… It seems that there is no way to catch up with Teacher. Hugh, get ready.”
“Yes.”
The pirate touched Hernando.
“Houdica? You are Houdica?!”
At this moment, Ian, who was helping Bintz up, suddenly exclaimed, “Why did you become a pirate, Hugh!”
The pirate trembled and put down the hood on his head, revealing a delicate face. It was a woman.
“Long time no see, Ian,” she said softly.
“Houdica…”
Zephyra was trembling all over. “Why, why are you, who believes in justice, also…”
“Teacher Zephyra, I also have a path that I want to take. Everything has already been decided.”
“How do you want to solve the current situation, Teacher?”
“You two!”
The blue veins on Zephyra’s body were exposed. She stepped forward and her body burst out. Her left hand was wrapped in Armament Haki and she roared, “I will take you back to be judged!”
“Old man, don’t lose your calm, it’s too late,” Kuro suddenly said.
Bang!
Zephyra’s fist passed through the two people’s bodies and punched a hole in the rock wall behind them.
It passed through!
Hernando and Hugh were stuck in Zephyra’s fist and gradually turned into shadows.
“Houdica!” Zephyra’s eyes widened and she said angrily.
Hugh’s eyes twitched and he didn’t dare to look into Zephyr’s eyes and said, “Teacher, I have eaten the fruit in the past few years and I am the ‘reflective person’ of ‘Reflective Fruit’. Now our real body is no longer here and this is just a phantom.”
“Teacher, do you remember…”
Hernando said to Zephyra, “In the past, you taught us to treat pirates seriously because pirates are cunning and fierce. If we are not careful, we will suffer heavy losses. As a Marine that protects civilians, if civilians are killed or injured, it will be a Marine failure.”
“So, let’s play a game…”
He reached out and snapped his fingers.
Snap.
Then, he paused for a moment and said, “In the past few years, I also found a fruit. I am a ‘parasite’ who ate this fruit. My ability is to plant a seed for people. Once people die, this seed will germinate and become the same shape as me.”
“Well, although the strength is limited, as a pirate, it is definitely enough. These Parasites will obey my orders, that is to say, I will let them do whatever I want them to do.”
“For example, if I order…”
His voice deepened. “Kill everyone who can see!”
These words made Zephyr’s pupils shrink. He thought of something and said in surprise, “The dead pirates of Pegasus Town!”
Hernando opened his hands and said in an intoxicated tone, “Ah… that’s right, it’s the dead pirates in Pegasus Town. They have my seed in them and now it has sprouted. They have become my doppelgängers.”
“Teacher, I have always wanted you to admit that you are a failed Marine. Teacher, stop me. If you can’t do it, no one on Pegasus Island will survive!”
“I will get feedback on everything that my clone does. In Pegasus Town, which you can’t see, there is already a clone who has begun to swing his blade. There is a civilian in front of me. What a beautiful expression of fear. Swing it down and take his head away. Is it that simple?”
He said the last word with doubt.
He could not sense it.
His clones in Pegasus Town could not be sensed and completely disappeared.
Although the strength of the doppelgänger is very weak, it is not afraid of death. Whether facing Marines or civilians, killing one is profitable. This kind of thing is the most annoying thing for Marines.
But now, there was nothing.
The most intuitive feeling was that something fell from the sky, and then there was nothing.
“Lord Hernando?” Hugh asked with concern when Hernando stopped.
“No… nothing.”
Hernando looked at Kuro, who was not far away, and saw him biting his cigar with a relaxed face.
“Luciru Kuro…”
Hernando said in a low voice: “I advise you not to get in the way.”
Kuro exhaled the smoke and said slowly, “As a pirate, you don’t let me, the Marine Base Chief, get in the way in my territory? Why, is the former Vice-Admiral so important?”
Pegasus Town is not far from here. It’s too simple to play with precision.
Clone? As long as he could die once, he would dare to kill again.
It was just another weapon falling from the sky.
He held Autumn Water and waved the knife away.
“Zhanbo!”
A huge golden slash suddenly rushed over and flattened everything in front of him. The pirates gathered around the hill were cut into two under this slash, and the hill was plowed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
“I’ve decided, I want to kill you with my own hands!” He grinned.
As the dust settled, Hernando’s and Hugh’s bodies continued to appear, but they had begun to float like reflections in the water.
“It’s useless, this is not our real body.”
As Hernando spoke, he looked at Zephyr and said, “Teacher, you’d better find me quickly. Otherwise, not only Pegasus Town, but other places will become hell.”
The floating reflection completely dissipated and disappeared.
Bang!
Zephyra punched the ground again, creating a pit.
“Hernando! Don’t run, fight me!” Zephyra roared. “You fallen Marine who has completely lost his honor!!!”
