The sense of panic gradually spread, and some desperate people even chose to simply give up.
Dalton was heartbroken and helpless when he saw this. He could only place all his hopes on Gawain and his gang.
He looked up at the dinosaur-like figure with flames all over its body, and his eyes became uneasy: "This kingdom… Everything in this kingdom is entrusted to these pirates. Is this Gawain… the most righteous pirate in the East Blue?!"
"You'll win, right?!"
"No, you will definitely win!"
After speaking, Dalton's eyes gradually became firm. He took a deep breath and ordered the civilians in the town to retreat to the edge of the island.
Looking at the civilians around him gradually taking action, Dalton had only one thought in his mind: "If I can save one more person…"
"That's fine!"
At the other end, on the Raven anchored at the edge of Drum Island.
Gin raised his head and stared at the figure that had just rushed away, his expression gradually becoming serious: "That guy's aura is even more ferocious than the former Marines admiral Zephyr I saw before, and it's so disturbing."
"Controlling fire, a Mythical Zoan fruit user?!"
"I'm afraid so."
Lucci nodded, his eyes equally solemn.
Unlike Gin, intelligence is a compulsory course for agents. The CP organization has accurate intelligence on most forces in the world.
Therefore, he recognized the identity of the figure, whizzing away in the air with just one glance.
"The deputy captain of the Beast Pirates, a pirate with a bounty of over 1.3 billion, King, the Conflagration!"
"You got the answer right, but there was no reward."
A sudden voice startled Gin and the others, making them quickly turn around.
Then, they discovered a figure over three meters tall and dressed in a red suit who had been standing on the deck for a long time.
He was looking at Lucci and Gin with a teasing look.
This person naturally received Kaido's order along with King to come to Paradise to strangle off the White Knight Pirate.
At this moment, Who's-Who's eyes were full of teasing.
He is the strongest among the Tobiroppo, and the gap between him and Jack the Drought is not that big.
It is naturally easy to deal with this group of pirates who have just come out of the East Blue.
Moreover, in his spare time, he had watched the East Blue Martial Arts Tournament before, so he naturally had some understanding of White Knight Pirate's strength.
Judging from the fighting power displayed by the two at that time, they might have been stronger than some Shinuchi; there was an insurmountable gap between them and him.
"If possible, could you please commit suicide right here? This would make it easier for me, and I wouldn't end up with blood on my hands…"
Who's-Who's voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Lucci, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more difficult to conceal: "Oh yeah."
"Isn't this the new monster who is said to be the most talented in CP9 in the past 800 years?!"
After speaking, he looked at Gin beside him and the pirate flag flying in the air. He instantly understood what was going on: "Have you received a new mission to lurk in the White Knight Pirate?"
As the sound fell to the ground, the scene became quiet for a moment.
The eyes of all the pirates on the deck were focused on Lucci, which was full of scrutiny.
Even Zoro quietly placed his hand on the long sword at his waist, with cold sweat oozing from his palms.
In his heart, he even began to weigh his chances of winning against Lucci in front of him.
But that answer made him hold his breath.
Seeing that no one said anything, Who's-Who suddenly felt like playing a joke. He stretched out his hand to Lucci and said:
"My goal is to eliminate the White Knight Pirate."
"How about it? Would you consider joining forces with me?"
"Anyway… betrayal is what the World Government is good at, isn't it?"
"In this way, both your and my goals can be achieved!"
Lucci's expression gradually became gloomy.
Especially when he sensed the scrutinizing gazes of the pirates on the Raven, including Zoro, a hint of uncontrollable murderous intent quietly emerged in his eyes.
He had planned everything, but he had never expected to meet this man here.
Before Lucci showed his talent, Who's-Who was the man known as the strongest genius of CP9, but he was wanted by the World Government because of a failed mission.
Has this guy been hiding in the Beast Pirates all these years?!
For a while, Lucci was a little hesitant.
After all, if he killed Gin and the others here, as long as he made sure no one was left alive, he could shift the blame to Who's-Who later.
The same thing happened to Kalifa standing next to him.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice broke the silence.
"No!"
Gin stretched out his hands to protect Lucci and the others behind him and face the oppression from Who's-Who alone, but his eyes revealed a firm will that was completely different from that of the others.
"I believe in Lucci."
"After what he went through, this guy has transformed. He is no longer the cold-blooded tool he once was, but a living person who can feel pain."
Lucci subconsciously lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and puffed up his cheeks.
For a moment, he felt a sense of panic in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the complex and tangled expression Kaku had when he looked at Paulie in the seven Water 7.
"And he still lives in after the betrayal!"
As he spoke, Gin raised his head and looked at Who's-Who in front of him, refusing to give in.
There was a moment of surprise on Who's-Who's face, and then he held his stomach and laughed uncontrollably.
"There are actually fools who believe in the World Government's agents?!"
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"
"I see."
Who's-Who pointed his finger at Gin, the sarcasm in his eyes was so strong that it couldn't be hidden anymore: "You probably witnessed the jokes they made about their so-called camaraderie, didn't you?!"
"What if I tell you that this is CP9's method? I have used this infiltration method before and even more than once."
"From a king ruling over several islands to the leader of a Pirate crew."
"There are so many similar things. Even so—"
Who's-Who was interrupted by a bone spear while was speaking.
When he looked up again.
Gin had already rushed in front of him, with bone spurs extending from his arms and entangled with each other, forming a spear-like shape, which then hit Who's-Who directly on the chest.
Bang!
After a teeth-grinding collision, the bone spear in Gin's hand shattered into pieces, while Who's-Who's chest was covered with pitch-black armor.
He completely blocked Gin's attack and was unharmed.
"Armament Haki?!"
"Ah."
Who's-Who sneered: "Don't you understand yet?"
"The intensity of the battles in the New World is completely different from that in the East Blue and Paradise."
"Only by mastering the Armament Haki and using it skillfully, and adopting the skills would someone survive in such a place."
"This is the difference between me and you!"
He raised his hand, then dark Armament Haki wrapped around his fingertips as he stabbed his fingers at Gin's chest.
The bone armor, which was harder than steel, shattered.
Gin clenched his teeth, but blood still flowed from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that this blow not only shattered the bone armor he created but also seriously injured him.
His body flew backward instantly, crashing into several large trees before slowly coming to a stop.
After doing it all, Who's-Who just turned to look at Lucci, his eyes revealing a sense of scrutiny: "Yoh, Rob Lucci."
"Now… what is your answer?!"
