Blake originally thought that Im's magic circle had restored the dragon to its peak condition, and even strengthened it.
However, in reality, Im's demonic contract itself does not have the ability to recover, but it can recover and strengthen itself by squeezing the life force of the demonized person.
Secondly, once this depletion of life force begins, it is irreversible, and perhaps even Im himself cannot stop it.
Otherwise, he could simply take the dragon back and throw it out to use again when there are enemies next time.
Once the life force is exhausted, it can be allowed to dissipate naturally. There is no need to continue consuming it after the area is cleared.
Blake admitted that his idea was somewhat reminiscent of hanging streetlights, but that this was also a likely scenario.
At this moment, apart from the World Government, there was no one else standing on the battlefield.
Above the thick smoke, Im's eerie eyes swept across the battlefield.
His gaze lingered for a moment on a broken table and chair, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, but it quickly vanished.
Then, the black smoke began to gradually dissipate.
Upon seeing this, the remaining Five Elders and the Knights of God all knelt on one knee:
"Congratulations, Lord Im!"
Im did not answer, and his figure completely disappeared.
The rising sun illuminated Mary Geoise, its light seemingly dispelling the hustle and bustle of the holy city throughout the night.
Seeing that everything had come to an end, Blake got up and stretched:
"Let's go! We should head back too."
After saying this, he took Stella back to the manor.
On the way, Blake took out a white Den Den Mushi and gave the instructions:
"Okay, you can go back now."
Chapter 126 Why didn't you do this sooner?
On the high seas, Lafayette and Enel, facing two monsters who were using water, still couldn't gain any advantage.
Kuzan is, after all, a Marine Admiral, and his strength is even greater than that of Mandy at present.
Although Borsalino is a lieutenant general, his strength may be even greater than that of Kuzan, an admiral.
As the thunderclouds over Mary Geoise slowly dissipated, a thin crack appeared on Enel's staff, half of Lafayette's top hat was sliced off, and blood dripped down the feathers.
The two stood back to back, panting, surrounded by frozen ice thorns and still-burning laser craters.
“How terrifying~”
"Two guys I've never seen before... and they've managed to hold out for so long!"
Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, still sporting his usual nonchalant demeanor, and not a speck of dust on him.
Lafayette was breathing heavily, but his tone still retained its theatrical quality:
"I'm so sorry you had to see this."
"Want to deal with a Navy Admiral..."
Blub Blub... Blub Blub...
Before he could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.
Lafayette glanced at Kuzan standing on the ice, then looked at Borsalino, who seemed to be admiring the surrounding scenery.
Seeing that neither of them intended to stop him, he then took out a Den Den Mushi.
Kuzan and Borsalino turned their attention to the Den Den Mushi in Lafayette's hand.
At that moment, the Den Den Mushi strangely didn't transform into anyone; instead, it transmitted a single sentence:
"Okay, you can go back now."
Hearing this, Lafayette breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the two guys on the other side were clearly not going all out, he and Enel probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Now that we have a chance to escape the battlefield, that would be the best thing ever.
Lafayette addressed the Den Den Mushi respectfully:
"As you wish, sir."
He knew that Blake had no intention of revealing his identity at the moment, so he naturally wouldn't give himself away in his way of addressing him.
Lafayette tucked the Den Den Mushi into his pocket, straightened his back, and bowed deeply to Kuzan:
"Now that things over there are over~"
"We have no reason to continue fighting."
"Please allow us to take our leave."
"I hope I'll have the chance to experience the strength of a Marine Admiral again next time!"
After saying that, he picked up Enel, who was already engrossed in the fight and wanted to continue, but was more seriously injured than him, and prepared to leave using Moonwalk.
Kuzan and Borsalino were not particularly surprised by this.
Although the Six Powers of the Navy are exclusive skills of the Navy and the World Government, it is not difficult for the top powers on the high seas to obtain them.
This makes it impossible to determine the other party's identity.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Borsalino leaped into the air:
"This is really troublesome!"
"If we let you leave like this..."
"I'm at a loss for words!"
As he spoke, he crossed his arms, and countless light orbs appeared behind him:
"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"
A dense barrage of light projectiles flew toward Lafayette and Enel, who were moving away, as Biaobianyu respectfully saw them off.
Borsalino didn't even glance at them, landing directly next to Kuzan:
"If this can get them to leave..."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
"After all, we need to hurry and support the Holy Land!"
Upon hearing his words, Kuzan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Borsalino's portrayal of an ape is so convincing, it's practically ingrained in his very being.
They don't care whether there's an audience or not, they just keep performing.
The first two sentences express that he has done his best and there is nothing he can do if the other party escapes.
The last sentence explains why he didn't pursue them; after all, there were more important things to do now.
Kuzan heard it; judging from the Den Den Mushi just now, the chaos in Mary Geoise is probably over.
Borsalino, you're starting to get anxious now?
Why did you go early?
However, not to mention the second brother, Kuzan himself also chose to delay because of his own confusion about justice.
In fact, their distance from the holy land has not only not shortened, but has actually increased.
Because from the very beginning of the battle, Kuzan did not use his Devil Fruit abilities on a large scale.
The small ice floe beneath my feet has drifted far away with the ocean currents.
Even if we set off for Mary Geoise now, it would still take at least an hour.
Kuzan righted his bicycle from the ice beside him and said calmly:
"Okay, it's time to go."
"The Holy Land still needs our support."
In the distance, a light blast grazed past Lafayette's ear, blasting the sea beneath her feet into a cloud of mist.
At the edge of the red earth continent, the wind howls.
Tiger stumbled through the gravel, and Christopher, whom he carried on his shoulder, was even more uncomfortable.
His blood soaked through Tiger's shoulder, warm and sticky, mingling with his sweat.
If it weren't for Christopher being a top-tier expert with an amazing physique...
They probably lost consciousness from the jolting.
Behind them, Garin's voice, filled with anger and glee, rang out:
"Damn traitor! Damn reptile!"
"You have nowhere to escape!"
"Today I will tear you to pieces!"
Tiger looked at the cliff in front of him, where he saw clouds and mist swirling below, and could not even hear the sound of waves crashing against the rock face.
Although he couldn't see the sea, Tiger knew very well that it was at least 10,000 meters away from the sea level.
He turned and grinned at Christopher on his shoulder:
"Celestial Dragon, are you willing to make a bet with me?"
Despite his clouded consciousness, Christopher was still able to make sense of the current situation.
He also gave a wistful smile, and said weakly:
"Do we... have a better option?"
After saying that, Tiger, with Christopher in tow, decisively jumped off the edge of the cliff.
In the instant of weightlessness, Tiger held Christopher tightly as he was about to lose consciousness, straightening his streamlined body, a trait unique to the fish-men, trying to seize their only chance to survive.
Reaching the edge of the cliff, watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Garin hesitated.
If he uses Moonwalk to pursue them, he definitely won't be able to catch up with these two free-falling guys.
Should we let him join in the freefall?
Falling from a height of 10,000 meters is not a pleasant experience; only a drunkard like Kaido would do something like that.
Garin had already suffered enough injuries that night, and he didn't want to be resurrected again just to chase after two escaped guys.
After only a moment's hesitation, Garin drew his longsword from his waist:
"Divine Judgment - Nine Stars Descend!"
Nine black and red sword energies chased after Tiger's figure.
This attack, which once broke Blake's arm bones, is now even more powerful in Garin's hands.
However, during the brief moment he hesitated, Tiger had already fallen quite a distance and disappeared into the clouds.
Garin snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Below, although Garin's attack failed to hit the two directly, the scorching heat left a scorch mark on Tiger's body.
Christopher fared even worse, suffering extensive burns all over his body and completely losing consciousness.
Chapter 127 This is what people who eat the Glint-Glint Fruit are like.
The buildings in Mary Geoise were utterly devastated in last night's battle.
The initial damage caused by the runaway slaves who wanted to pull off a heist was already considerable, and the later battles between the Revolutionary Army, Im, and others were even more earth-shattering.
Even if not near the center of the battlefield, the casualties in buildings were still heavy.
The worst off was Black's plantation.
Because he not only experienced the two times mentioned earlier, but also Rayleigh directly entered the manor.
