Chapter 267 Slip away
“Who…is this guy?” Pique raised his eyebrows, holding a cigarette, and a big question mark appeared on his forehead.

“not sure.”

“It looks like he should be a school-level officer from a certain naval branch.”

Torrebol glanced at Upton’s uniform and made a guess.

But it was not difficult to hear from their tone that they did not take the so-called “school level” seriously at all.

It’s okay for the school level of the Navy Headquarters.

What is a branch?
“Pike, I leave it to you.” Doflamingo said lightly.

next second.

Pique went straight into the ground and swam towards Upton.

“Damn it, you don’t know who I am? Then I’ll teach you a lesson!”

bass!
The blade is unsheathed.

A sword-drawing slash suddenly struck the ground.

A lot of rubble and dust were flying.

At the same time, Pique, who dodged Upton’s knife, was reminded of the memory of Swan Island a year ago by his knife action.

“Is this… the guy I met in the hot spring last time?” He blinked.

Then Upton laughed out loud: “I won’t let you escape a second time today!”

“Did I escape last time?”

I can’t remember…at all.

Pique thought about it for two seconds and found that he really had no recollection of it. He was too lazy to waste any more words with Upton and swam directly into the ground.

The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Upton glanced around.

About five seconds later…

Wow!

Pique came out from behind him, intending to end the fight with a waist throw.

However, Upton, who had already expected the opponent to use this trick, turned around and slashed directly at Pique’s neck the moment he came out of the water.

He lowered his head and narrowly avoided the knife.

Pique, whose hair was half cut off, suddenly tensed up. He supported himself with one hand and kicked Upton on the chin with an extremely fast kick.

Upton, who suffered a heavy blow to the chin, felt dizzy.

He was already feeling uncomfortable due to seasickness, and now being hit by Pique, he staggered and fell headfirst into the tree next to him.

Boom!
The dull sound of the head hitting the tree trunk.

Upton held the knife in one hand and held the tree trunk with the other, trying to keep his balance.

Pique, whose half body was in the water, showed a somewhat puzzled look when he saw this situation.

This guy……

Why did you order so many dishes compared to last time?

Is it because I have grown too fast in this year?

He grinned and thought happily.

However, now is not the time to be complacent.

Without giving Upton any chance to breathe, Peake stretched out his hands, grabbed Upton’s ankles, and then suddenly exerted force, dragging him directly into the water he created.

Feeling his body sinking and the saber falling to the ground, Upton waved his hands in horror, trying to grab something.

But after several missed swings, his heart sank to the bottom.

“Give up struggling. No one I dragged in has ever been able to come out alive.” Pike’s voice came faintly from his ears.

The strength to struggle is getting weaker and weaker.

“Gurgle~~” Upton was pushed into the water by Peake and completely lost his voice.

……

“Are you okay, Xia He?”

same moment.

Baby-5, which was carried in the sky by Buffalo, has also successfully arrived at the battle scene.

“I… am fine…” Xia He spat out a mouthful of blood, and with the help of baby-5, he sat up from the snow with great difficulty.

“Is the dead person Diamante?” Not far away, Buffalo showed an expression of extreme shock after seeing Diamante’s body.

“Yeah.” Xia He nodded. “I just met up with him when we were attacked by a whole navy on the way… He was shot in the head by a flintlock rifle, and I pretended to be dead, so I luckily escaped…”

After making up a bunch of nonsense, he immediately gained the trust of two kids with low IQs.

“Then let’s go and join up with Master Dover and the others.”

Without even the slightest intention of feeling sad for Diamante’s death, Baby-5 helped Xia Heye onto Buffalo’s back, and the three little ones flew into the sky, searching for Doflamingo and the others in the snow.

……

“Am I…going to die?”

From the neck to the forehead, the entire face has turned liver color.

Corazon, whose brain was already severely deprived of oxygen, finally began to droop his hands weakly.

fair enough……

If he dies as the user of the Ope Ope Fruit, then Law won’t be targeted by Doflamingo anymore, right?
I just don’t know if Luo can continue to persist in this family without my protection…

Oh, and there is also the Warring States Marshal.

I’m afraid I can’t keep the promise I made to you.

I don’t know if the cherry tree at the headquarters has bloomed yet…

A kaleidoscope of things began to flash before my eyes.

And just before Corazon was about to completely lose consciousness.

“Rosinandee!”

But I heard an extremely anxious shout in my ears.

……

“People from the Navy Headquarters have already landed on this island.”

In the air, Xia He, who was lying on Buffalo’s back with the blood from his wound having just stopped flowing, said weakly.

“Navy Headquarters?”

Baby-5 looked at him in confusion.

“Yeah.” Xia He nodded, “Look carefully at the two warships docked on the shore. Only the Navy Headquarters can own such large warships.”

“But how come our ship appeared in the North Sea?”

“Of course, it’s to capture our Don Quixote family in one fell swoop.” Xia He coughed, “If I’m not mistaken, there should be no less than five lieutenant generals from the headquarters on that ship…”

“Then what should we do now?”

“What should I do? Of course it’s best to run away first. If we are discovered by those guys, it will be too late to escape.”

“But… Master Dover is still on the island…”

“So what? If even Master Dover can’t escape, what use will the three of us have if we go down there? The chances of us becoming a burden will be greater, won’t we?” Xia He continued.

After he finished speaking, the other two kids immediately felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Ever since.

In the sky, Buffalo, which had just flown to the seaside, turned around and then flew back immediately.
