Chapter 249: The Brilliant Sword Light

Saint Light’s younger brother Saint Lewis looked at Shanks with great curiosity. Although it was no secret to the Knights of God that Red-haired Shanks was the biological son of Ancient Saint Green, Shanks seldom interacted with Marijoa, so it was the first time for a less experienced Knight of God like Saint Lewis to see Shanks.

If that face wasn’t exactly the same as that of Ancient Saint Green when he was young, they probably wouldn’t have believed Shanks’ true identity so easily.

“That’s great. Saint Shanks has returned to Marijoa, and Saint Green finally has a successor…”

Charlotte Palace looked at Shanks with satisfaction, but when her eyes fell on Shanks’ broken arm, she couldn’t help but frown.

The successor of Ancient Saint Green and the future commander of the Knights of God cannot be a disabled person. Fortunately, reattaching a broken limb may seem like a myth to ordinary people, but it is nothing to the Knights of God.

Let Vegapunk make a prosthetic limb for Saint Shanks first, and then let Saint Shanks practice a higher level of life return. With the qualifications left to him by Ancient Saint Green, there is still hope that he can practice to the highest level.

By then, restoring broken limbs and restoring youth will not be a problem. If that doesn’t work, I can ask if there are any compatriots willing to sacrifice and donate an arm to the biological son of Ancient Saint Green.

Given the prestige that Ancient Saint Green holds among his compatriots, he should be able to find a suitable arm for Saint Shanks.

“Mom, mom, it turns out that Red Hair is also a Celestial Dragon…”

Charlotte Linling, who was skinny as a bone, suddenly laughed out loud. That bastard Roger was really good at it. He actually lured a Celestial Dragon, and it sounded like a Celestial Dragon of high status, onto his ship.

“What? So you’re not dead yet? You’re such a stubborn old woman…”

Light Saint spoke with disdain, completely ignoring the fact that he himself was not much younger than Charlotte Linling, and only relied on the ability of the Snatching Fruit to constantly snatch the youth of others, allowing himself to always maintain the posture of a teenager.

But as he gets older, the more individuals he needs to take in order to maintain his youth. In the beginning, just one sacrifice was enough to keep Light Saint young for several years, but now he needs to kill more than ten boys and girls every day to obtain enough to maintain his youth.

Of course, such a price is nothing to the Knight of God. In order to maintain his youth, Saint Light even controlled several countries to provide him with young boys and girls.

“Well, people grow old sooner or later. You will become an old man one day, Light Saint.”

Charlotte Gong, who is several years older than BIG MOM, felt as if she had been shot for no reason and glared at Wright Saint with some dissatisfaction.

“How is that possible? Even if I have to kill hundreds of sacrifices every day, or even kill them all the time, I want to maintain my youth until the moment I die. I don’t want to become an old man with wrinkles all over my face!”

Light Saint looked at his younger brother with some disdain. He was only in his fifties but already had white hair and wrinkles. Considering that they looked exactly the same when they were young, didn’t it mean that if he lost his youth, he would also become a vicissitudes of life middle-aged man like Lewis Saint?

“Why do I feel like you’re thinking of something rude?”

The corner of Lewis Sheng’s mouth twitched. It was obvious that Wright Sheng was the older brother, but this guy’s personality was still as erratic as when he was a child.

Moreover, he clearly has the powerful ability of the Snatching Fruit that can continuously seize power to become stronger. Even if the seized power has a limit, it is much better than wasting it on so-called youth. But Light Saint just has an inexplicable obsession with maintaining youth.

He would rather be scolded by the Ancient Saint Grimm than to “waste” the special ability of the Snatching Fruit on anything other than snatching youth.

“Hehe, you think too much, my dear brother…”

Light Saint turned his head away feeling a little guilty, fearing that Lewis Saint would see what he was thinking.

‘Boom! ’

Just when the battlefield was temporarily in a stalemate, fighting broke out again between Kaido, the Beast, and the Divine Knights who besieged him. No one knew who started it first, but a huge noise was heard, like some kind of war horn being blown, and a bloody and extremely fierce battle broke out again on the battlefield of Marijoa.

“Get out of my way now!”

Quinn transformed into a giant brachiosaurus and charged with rumbling steps towards the Knights of God who blocked their way. He wanted to go there as soon as possible to support Brother Kaido.

Unfortunately, the God’s Knights who were responsible for suppressing these pirates would not give way easily, and several God’s Knights died in battle. Such a blood debt doomed all the pirates who participated in the war to die, even Kaido, the Hundred Beasts, was no exception!

“No passage here!”

The Divine Knight standing in front of Quinn simply crossed his hands and posed in front of him, which made Quinn, who had already charged in front of him, stop in his tracks.

There were enemies and a road that he could pass through directly in front of him, but Quinn instinctively couldn’t just run forward. His brain was constantly fighting with his instinct for control of his body.

“Ahhhhhh! Let me pass!”

The furious Quinn wanted to bang his head against the invisible ‘wall’, but no matter how hard he tried, his body could not move forward even half a step. He could only watch Brother Kaido being besieged by a group of Knights of God.

“Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor!”

With red eyes, Jhin didn’t care that his identity would be exposed. He drew out a flaming long sword and slashed at the other Divine Knight who was blocking his way.

The long sword slashed out a huge fire dragon that looked like Kaido’s incarnation, and it pounced towards the Knight of God who was standing in front of Jinn with its fangs and claws.

“Rat Fireball!”

Seeing the huge fire dragon rushing towards him, the tall Knight of God suddenly grinned and laughed fiercely. A large amount of hair that resembled flames covered his entire body. Sharp fangs grew in his mouth, and two thick tails stretched out from behind him.

The divine knight casually created a ball of blue flame and threw it towards the pirates not far away.

The next moment, the fire dragon that pounced on him seemed to have life, chasing the dark blue fireball towards a group of pirates from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Group.

“Wow ah ah!”

The pirates who were besieging the remaining soldiers of the God’s Army never imagined that the attack from their own high-level fighters would fall on them.

Before he could react, he was burned to ashes by the fire dragon. Even the soldiers of the God’s Army who were besieged by the pirates were not spared. “So you are the dead scum of the Lunaria clan. How dare you, a lowly person who is only worthy of being a stray dog, call yourself a god?”

Saint Nicholas, who turned into an orc, folded his arms across his chest and looked at Jin with contempt. He was an animal-type, Cat-Cat Fruit, Mythical Beast, Nekomata form ability user. Controlling fire was just one of his abilities. For the Lunalia tribe, who were good at manipulating fire, meeting him could be regarded as the worst opponent for them.

“Get out of my way!”

After his identity was recognized, Jhin crushed the mask on his face, revealing a face that was extremely angry.

No matter what, he couldn’t bear to see Brother Kaido die in front of him, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Anyway, his life was given by Brother Kaido, so there is no big deal if he gives it back now!

“Who do you think you are? How dare a mere dead leftover shout at the descendants of the Creator?!”

Saint Nicholas narrowed his eyes and cursed in annoyance, and the look he gave Jhin revealed undisguised jealousy and malice.

They are obviously the most noble celestial dragons in the world, but they do not have the coveted innate abilities like Lunalia.

The deification movement of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government has never stopped for eight hundred years, but they have never been able to truly place the twenty kings who established the World Government on the altar of the Creator.

As a result, the Lunalia people, relying on their so-called innate abilities, were revered as gods by the countries and ethnic groups on the Red Earth Continent.

Such behavior is simply a slap in the face of the Celestial Dragons. They think of themselves as noble, but no one has ever regarded them as gods like the Lunalia tribe.

Anger and jealousy drove the Celestial Dragons to kill the Lunalia tribe. The so-called gods could not escape the fate of genocide in front of the World Government. The vast majority of the Lunalia tribe were killed by the World Government, and the few survivors were locked up for various experiments.

King is a member of the Lunalia tribe who became an experimental subject, but his luck is much better than other members of his tribe. When he was being used for an endurance experiment, he met Kaido who was causing chaos in the research institute. From then on, he followed him and became the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates.

“If it weren’t for Brother Kaido, I would have been a corpse long ago. Brother Kaido gave me this life, and now is the time to give it back to him…”

The flames behind Jhin burned wildly, and at the same time his momentum grew stronger and stronger, as if he was using his life as fuel to continuously increase his own strength.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Saint Nicholas’ face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and solemn look.

Although he sounded disdainful when he said it, he had to admit that the Lunalia people were indeed a group of troublesome guys.

When the World Government was trying to destroy them, it not only used the Knights of God, but also specially chose the time when the Lunalia were celebrating a festival and letting down their guard. In addition, the Army Headquarters came out in full force, and only then did they catch the Lunalia off guard with an absolute advantage in military strength.

But even so, the desperate counterattack of the Lunalia tribe dealt a heavy blow to the main force of the army. After that, the army, which was already declining, was completely unable to recover and it took more than a hundred years to recover.

Now, a remnant of the Lunalia tribe suddenly appeared and wanted to fight him to the death. Saint Nicholas said that he didn’t take it seriously, but he was still more or less worried in his heart.

The battle that wiped out the Lunalia left a very deep impression on the members of the Knights of God at that time. After that, every generation of the Knights of God who joined would be specifically reminded to be careful of the Lunalia.

Before this, the only people who could receive such treatment were the Bakanni tribe who had committed serious crimes against the World Government. However, that Bakanni tribe had been destroyed many years ago, and occasionally when a tribe member was discovered, he would be captured immediately and made slaves of the Celestial Dragons.

“The God of Controlling Fire… Humph, you and your people are garbage that should not continue to exist in this world! Go to hell with your filthy bloodline! Flame Claw!”

The right palm of Saint Nicholas was burning with a faint blue flame again, as if the flame with life kept rolling in the hand of Saint Nicholas, and finally gathered on his sharp claws.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

The flames on Jhin’s body were like the biggest torch shooting straight into the sky the previous second, and the next moment the flames suddenly went out, the ground under Jhin’s feet exploded, and the whole person rushed towards Saint Nicholas at an incredible speed.

There is no need for any moves. Jhin has given up the special defense that the Lunalia people are born with. As long as the flames on his body are still burning, no matter what kind of attack it is, it cannot cause any harm to him.

But now Jhin took the initiative to extinguish the flames on his body, and at the cost of sacrificing defense, he increased his speed and strength to the extreme.

If this attack fails to eliminate Saint Nicholas, Jhin, who has lost his defense, will have no choice but to wait for death.

‘boom! ’

The Lunaria tribe, who were supposed to control fire, ran headfirst into the flaming blow thrown by the Knight of God.

Saint Nicholas’s flame was obviously not an ordinary fire. In just a moment of contact, Jin’s face aged rapidly, and his whole body became hunched, as if decades had passed in an instant.

If Jhin had turned around and fled at this moment, he might have survived. However, he seemed to have already made up his mind to die, and rushed towards Saint Nicholas with the flames burning his life.

Saint Nicholas’ pupils shrank slightly when he saw this scene. Nekomata’s demonic fire could directly burn the enemy’s life. As long as they were touched by his fire, the severe pain of burning life could even make the giants, whose lifespan was three times that of humans, lose their ability to resist.

But the Lunalia people in front of him rushed towards him with the demonic fire burning their lives. Did they want to die together with him?
“What a naive scumbag!”

Saint Nicholas grinned again. Did this guy think that he was the kind of loser who completely relied on the devil fruit?
Nekomata’s demonic fire does not distinguish between friend and foe, but as long as he is prepared in advance, he can completely use the demonic fire to counteract the demonic fire, and the one who will die in the end will only be the naive Lunalia tribe.

“…I’m sorry, Brother Kaido, I didn’t get to see you become the Pirate King. This is the last thing I can do for you…”

Obviously, the excruciating pain of burning his life had made Jhin lose consciousness, but his body was like a robot with a pre-set program, rushing straight towards Saint Nicholas who was about to take action to offset the evil fire.

“cut!”

Jhin sacrificed his defense in exchange for unparalleled speed and strength, and endured the excruciating pain of his burning life in exchange for this last chance to attack.

Saint Nicholas couldn’t even see how Jin drew his sword. The only image left in his mind was an extremely bright sword light.
