Chapter 178 I Also Want to Know
"It's Van Oka!"
Akin was the first to react, with a flash of surprise in his eyes:
"Our support is here!"
His body, which was already on the verge of its limit, squeezed out its last bit of strength at this moment.
A layer of flowing bones flowed out of Akin's body and condensed into a cannon on his shoulder again.
"That guy is proficient in armed color and is also a capable person. Such an attack can't kill him. Lucci and Zoro stop that guy and find an opportunity for Van Oka!"
"Understood, Captain!"
The two responded, then took a deep breath, stepped forward at the same time, and rushed to Fuzifu in the distance in an instant.
With Van Oka joining the battlefield, the balance of victory and defeat has tilted towards the Gawain Pirates.
Akin burst out his last bit of strength, and the bone cannon on his shoulder was fired again, the air wave gushed, and a bone bullet hit the target at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound.
Boom!
Fuzifu barely turned sideways to avoid the bone bullet, but felt dizzy, and even couldn't maintain the human-beast form, and his body was extremely weak.
"Something's wrong!"
"Seastone bullet?!"
Fuzifu was shocked and terrified, especially when he saw Lucci and Zoro coming to kill him.
He didn't care about the pain, raised his hand and forcibly knocked the seastone bullet off his forehead, and then he felt that his body had regained some strength.
"Roar!"
After a tiger roar, Fuzifu once again transformed into a human-beast form. He repelled Zoro and Lucci who were attacking, and just as he was about to kill them, he felt an inexplicable chill.
"It's that sniper!"
In a panic.
Fuzifu looked around, but all he could see was the vast sea behind him and the endless snowfield in the distance.
Even though he had already mastered the observation Haki, he still couldn't sense the position of the mysterious sniper.
"Retreat!"
"If you keep fighting, I'll die!"
He had fought for more than 30 years in his life, and he had thought that guns, cannons, and swords had long posed no threat to him.
But the feeling of being on edge at this moment made him truly understand how terrible a top sniper can be in a battle.
"He should have arrived long ago, but he has been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle in an instant!"
"That's why he shot me at the moment when I was most proud and relaxed!"
Think about this clearly.
Fuzifu felt a chill, and he could not care about anything else, just pulled away and retreated.
It was also at this moment.
A burning figure in the sky roared from a distance, like a red meteor across the sky.
"Jin!"
"I'm here!"
A hint of joy flashed in Fuzifu's eyes.
Jin saw the miserable state of Fuzifu, and then looked at the three blood-soaked Ajin in the distance, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Knight Gawain has the power to match me, and even his subordinates can fight Fuzifu to this extent?!"
"Monster!"
He couldn't help but sigh, then swooped down, grabbed Fuzifu's body, and rushed towards the distant sky.
"Damn it!"
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Lucci's eyes.
Fighting to this extent, he wanted not only to repel Fuzifu, but to keep him here completely!
"Did you just let him run away like this?!"
"I'm so unwilling, wu——!"
Zoro groaned, and then felt a burst of powerlessness, and fell on his back. Obviously, the long battle had exhausted him.
At this moment, the opponent escaped, and the string that had been supporting him was instantly broken, and he completely lost consciousness. Only the rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive.
Ajin on the side also lost the strength to fight again. Looking at Fuzifu going away, his heart was filled with unspeakable unwillingness.
Especially after seeing the smug smile on Fuzifu's face, it was even more so.
In the sky.
Fuzifu looked at the three figures that were getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help showing a hint of smugness in his eyes. He raised his hand and scratched his neck, and made a mouth shape:
"Next time."
"I will kill all of you!"
...
"Really?!"
In the distance.
On a mountain, Fan Oka took Fuzifu's actions through the scope. He looked indifferent and murmured:
"It's a pity that you won't have a next time."
Fan Oka took a deep breath and then pulled the trigger...
Bang!
Fire burst out from the muzzle.
The recoil pushed his body, and a bullet brought a series of sonic booms in the air and shot towards Fuzifu...
Swish!
Fuzifu only felt that his chest was hit by a punch, but he didn't feel any pain, only an indescribable chill.
He lowered his head and saw a bullet hole that pierced his heart, and blood gushed out.
"Ka-!"
Fuzifu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak anymore, and the blood that gushed out had blocked his throat.
He followed the direction of the bullet and finally saw the man who killed him, a thin man holding a rifle with a muzzle like a trumpet.
Is this when I am most relaxed again? ! What a terrible man!
The next moment, Fuzifu completely lost consciousness.
"Fuzifu?!"
Jin realized that something was wrong, stopped and looked, and found that Fuzifu, who was caught in his hand, had become a corpse.
He was furious, but when he noticed the red figure rushing from behind, he felt as if he had been poured with cold water.
The one-on-one battle just now had proved that before he knew Gawain's weakness, it was impossible for Jin to defeat Gawain, let alone capture him alive according to Kaido's order.
At this moment.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had already lost the battle to this extent.
Jin said nothing, holding Fuzifu's body, and walked away along the sea surface, only the unwillingness and anger in his heart burned more and more fiercely:
The game has just begun!
The next time I know your weakness, it will be your defeat!
...
The estuary.
Gawain landed with a bang, and after seeing that Akinsoro and others were only injured and not in danger of life, he was relieved.
When he learned the full picture of the battle from the crew and Akin's retelling, his face looked more and more strange when he looked at Lucci.
"Because a Fuzifu shouldn't let him fight to this extent, right?!"
"And no matter how you look at it, the most favorable choice for him was to listen to Ajin's instructions at that time and leave with Kalifa..."
"Is this a true love when undercover?!"
Gawain was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.
In short, before the system truly recognized Lucci and the others and provided corresponding bonuses, the other party's heart was not here for him, so no matter how Lucci and the others performed, they would not be included in the category of his own people.
And human beings themselves are extremely complex creatures. It is normal for them to take actions that are not in line with rational judgment and interests because of a momentary touch.
A few minutes later, Fan Oka hurried over from a distance.
He looked at the three wounded, and seeing that they were not seriously injured, he looked at Gawain, with his chin slightly raised, and his eyes were full of smugness:
"Do we still have to rely on the favor of fate in the end?"
"I know you are powerful."
Gawain shook his head helplessly and laughed:
"These three wounded are left to you. Help them with emergency treatment, and contact Kalifa and others who have evacuated, and let them return to the ship to wait."
"Now that the beasts' troops have been repelled, I will go to support Clo."
After that, Gawain's shoulders instantly unfolded a pair of dragon wings with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. With a light flap, he pushed his body to gallop away, and disappeared into the clouds in a few breaths.
Fan Oka's mouth curled up a smile, and he carried the three people who were almost completely exhausted to the deck one by one.
The rough action hurt Zoro so much that he wanted to curse, but he didn't even have the strength to quarrel.
After boarding the ship, Fan Oka found hemostatic drugs from the ship's doctor's room, and then skillfully stopped bleeding, disinfected, and sutured the wounds for the three people.
Time flies, half an hour has passed.
After bandaging his wound, Ajin and Lucci sat side by side on the deck, looking at the sea in the distance, not knowing what they were thinking for a while.
After a while.
Ajin said:
"Actually, I'm not stupid."
Lucci was stunned when he heard this, but a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Seeing Lucci's sudden silence, Ajin was more certain of his judgment.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
At that time, whether Lucci obeyed the order directly and followed Kalifa to leave, or turned around and stayed with him, it was not a problem.
But the problem was that he hesitated and hesitated for a moment after listening to Fuzifu's words.
Ajin said with a smile on his face:
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you and I were the same kind of people."
"Once you decide on something, even if you know it's wrong, you will execute it accurately."
"But I'm luckier than you. I met Captain Gawain, but you haven't."
"You..."
Ajin reached out and patted Lucci's shoulder, his tone more serious:
"I gave you and Kalifa the opportunity to get on board. If one day you really do something irreversible, I will kill you with my own hands."
Lucci was silent, and felt the weight on his shoulders suddenly become heavy, like a mountain that made him breathless. He was silent for a long time before he said:
"I know. Captain Ajin."
Ajin was stunned, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just slowly stood up and walked towards the cabin.
On the deck.
Lucci looked at the undulating sea in front of him.
The sea breeze hit him, bringing a biting and cold chill.
But at this moment, he could not even feel the pain of his wound, let alone the cold.
…
Time flies.
Half an hour passed.
Kalifa returned to the ship with a group of crew members.
When everyone cheered for victory. Kalifa quietly sat next to Lucci.
The two have known each other for many years, and have shared life and death many times, fighting side by side from the sea of blood. They are no longer ordinary colleagues.
They are real companions. Even if they themselves are unwilling to admit this, no one denies it.
"Lucci, you..."
Kalifa saw at a glance that Lucci's state was not right. In connection with Lucci's previous reaction, Kalifa instantly understood his inner struggle.
She reached out and patted Lucci's shoulder, comforting him:
"Your state is no longer suitable for continuing the mission. Before being discovered, you still have a chance to get out of it."
"After the turmoil here is over, I will apply to Spandam."
"No."
"I applied to the CP organization."
Lucci was silent for a long time before he spoke:
"It's useless. Whether it's Spandam or the World Government, or the justice we pursue, they don't care about the survival of tools."
There was a hint of self-mockery in Lucci's voice, and Kalifa was even more stunned when she heard it.
It was the first time in so many years that he heard such emotions from this ice cube, and there was even a hint of confusion...
"What happened?!"
"Ajin saw through my identity."
Kalifa's pupils shrank, her body froze instantly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes:
"I'll deal with him."
Just as she was about to move, she was held down by Lucci.
Kalifa turned her head and looked at Lucci in confusion, but heard words that made her even more confused.
"He helped me hide the news."
"Why?!"
Kalifa's face was full of astonishment:
"Why would someone keep a knife that could stab him at any time?!"
If they wanted to pretend to be close friends and sneak into the Gawain Pirates at the beginning, the development of things now has exceeded her cognition.
Lucci reached out, inserted his five fingers into his hair, and gritted his teeth and said:
"I also want to know what kind of reason can make that man make such a choice."
"So..."
"He can't die before we find the reason."
"Do you understand?"
Kalifa was stunned, raised her hand and pushed her glasses indifferently, and for a moment she felt that Lucci was extremely strange at this moment.
He had an unprecedented and unfathomable thing on him.
Kalifa didn't know what it was, but she knew that she had never seen these things in the CP organization or even in the officials of the World Government.
After a while.
Kalifa whispered:
"I know."
...
As the two talked.
Without noticing, in the observation tower on the mast of Raven Harbor, a pair of indifferent pupils were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Interesting~"
Fan Oka fiddled with the receiver of the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is naturally the eavesdropping Den Den Mushi. Before in the snowfield, the purpose of his shooting at Kalifa was to take the opportunity to install the eavesdropping Den Den Mushi on her. He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
"Even the agents in the World Government CP organization have been shaken by the existence of that guy Ajin?"
"No!"
Fan Oka's eyes became clear:
"What really made them shaken was the will of this pirate group because of the captain's existence."
"I am more and more curious about where your fate will eventually go."
"Is it to completely break with the World Government and step onto our ship, or to move towards the end of life."
While speaking.
Fan Oka took a towel and disassembled Qianlu's gun body, bit by bit, doing a detailed and comprehensive maintenance for it.
After doing all this.
Fan Oka turned his head and looked at the chimney-shaped peaks above Dongdao Island, which were over 5,000 meters above sea level.
Purple spores condensed into a ball, surrounding the middle of the mountain, revealing an inexplicably charming beauty.
Fan Oka knew how deadly those spores were, and he murmured:
"I hope there won't be any accidents on Clo's side."
