Yagyu Shihu understood.
It was not that they betrayed the King, but that the King did not trust them. He could have gathered the forces of the Country of Peace to fight against the Black Snake and Kaido, but he did not do that. Instead, he did not believe them at all. Instead, he believed in the strange prophecy that someone would come to save the Country of Peace in 20 years and let the Country of Peace be founded.
Can't he do it himself?!
So many people support him, so many people are willing to fight for him, but what is he doing!?
Seeing their intentions as child's play and trusting the enemy instead, he was a fool for several years. But even so, at that time, Yagyu Shihu still believed in Oden. He will wake up and he will understand that he will lead everyone to continue fighting!
But until his death, Yagyu Ishiguro did not see him!
This is a breach of their trust, this is a complete failure to trust them!
It's not that Yagyu Shihu abandoned His Majesty, he never did. It's that His Majesty didn't trust them until he died!
By comparison …
Yagyu Shihu, who was crying tears of blood, stared at Wilbur and the Marines and determined civilians behind him.
If it had been these people back then …
If this Marine was Oden at that time, then they could definitely fight Kaido!
Yes, even if I die, I have to see the backbone of the Country of Peace!
"Justice?"
Yagyu Shihu muttered and looked deeply at Wilbur. Suddenly, he bowed deeply to Wilbur. This bow stayed for a few seconds before he straightened up and walked back without looking back.
"Retreat."
"Captain?" A pirate said dully: "We are retreating?"
Yagyu Shihu did not continue to speak and only glanced at him. The pirate immediately shut his mouth. The bodies of his other companions were still there and he did not dare to anger him.
Seeing Yagyu Ishigaru leave with the pirates, Wilbur watched the ship leave and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed no match for Yagyu Ishiguro.
Wilbur himself was not strong. In the past, he had relied on his seniority to get his rank. At that time, he was still on duty in Sabaody. In that kind of place, sometimes there was no need for their Marines. Most of the time, they were just decorations. When pirates came to land, they would drive them away, but sometimes the results were not very good. Wilbur had been injured a few times in Sabaody. It was not until Mr. Kuro arrived that the chaos was ended.
He also wanted to be strong. He envied those subordinates of Mr. Kuro. Vice Admiral Leda did not talk about status. She was strong in the past, and Vice Admiral Crowe was also strong. She was still Mr. Kuro's think tank and housekeeper. Everything was asked by Mr. Kuro. Vice Admiral Crowe did it. Cass was even more amazing. She was someone he had always respected and she was also very strong.
They are all Mr. Kuro's subordinates. He doesn't have any sense of crisis, but he wants to become stronger and do more things for Mr. Kuro. Wilbur still works hard to cultivate, but with his limited aptitude, he can only do that. Even after eating this 'Multiplication Fruit', he feels that he is not the opponent of these strong people.
Fortunately, he did not embarrass Mr. Kuro.
"Continue to defend. In addition, power up the Headquarters and seek support." Wilbur said to Marine next to him.
"Yes!"
… .
On another island, David also arrived with his army.
Unlike the Marines, David is here to conquer. This is an island force outside the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Ciprian and the last island within the scope of this conquest.
Chi!!
David, who was wearing the Wolf Knight armor, charged at the front. On the battlefield, he stabbed with his sword and instantly pierced through the body of a pirate. Then, he swung his sword and with a huge impact, he directly cut the nearby pirates and they fell to the ground without any sound.
This is the last group of pirates. After killing them, this island will belong to Dressrosa.
Buzz!
However, just as he finished off this circle of pirates, there was a sudden sound of an explosion in the air from the rear of the pirates. With the sound, a ball of metallic light under the sun suddenly flew over and cut the remaining pirates in half like cutting tofu and continued to fly towards Dressrosa.
"Yes?"
David moved his arm and swung his sword forward. The strong wind directly blew in front of him and stopped the metal-bright object.
"Spinning Blade?"
It was a three-petal blade that was still connected to the chain. After it was stopped by the force, there was a sound of "Hua La" and the chain pulled the blade back and it flew to the top of the mountain in front of him. There was an additional figure there.
It was a bare-chested young man with agile muscles. This young man was holding a chain in one hand and a rotary blade in the other. His enviable long hair was wildly blooming like a wild man. The handsome face under his hair was full of malevolence at this moment and he grinned at David.
"King, that is 'Murder Blade' Herbert! He is a cadre of the One-Horned Pirates." A soldier stepped forward and said.
"I know."
David nodded. "Wilbur said that this pirate group has their eyes on my forces. Did they find me?"
As he spoke, he looked at Herbert through his helmet. Behind Herbert, a large number of pirates gradually appeared.
"It seems that there will be another fight."
David held the sword and raised it towards Herbert. "But it doesn't matter. No matter what is ahead, it can't stop Master's long-cherished wish. I, David, will flatten everything for Master!"
In addition to him, in the distant sea, a pirate ship of the One-Horned Pirates is approaching the island where David is.
On the deck of the Pirate Ship stood a figure with a lot of feathers in his hair, holding a big boomerang, with tattoos on his body like a primitive man.
He was one of the five cadres of the One-Horned Pirates, 'Tidal Surge' Garford. This time, he was also here to conquer the Kingdom of Ciprian, but he was not so lucky. When everyone was dispatched, he encountered a storm, which caused a delay of a few days before he advanced towards a target island.
Garford shouted impatiently, "Hurry up, faster, or else those four idiots will have completed the mission and I won't be there yet. Captain will be angry!"
"Captain, this is the fastest we can go." A pirate said, "We can't go any faster."
"Can't you row?! Take out the long oars, your division, slide!" Garford stared at the pirate and licked his lips. "If you can't do it, I will eat you!"
"Yes!"
The pirate was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and ran away.
Garfo is a caveman, and his primitive tradition is man-eating.
"Ah… Hurry up and go to the island. The meat of pirates is too bad. The meat of women and children is the best. It tastes very tender, but if there are strong people, I don't recommend tasting their meat." Garford licked his lips and seemed to think of something delicious and laughed excitedly.
"Captain, Captain! There are people in front of us!" At this time, a pirate on the mast stuck his head out and shouted.
"Someone? What's so strange about someone?" Garford didn't understand: "It will be fine if it is sunk. Of course, if there is tender meat, save it for me."
"But, but there is only one person."
The pirate looked ahead with a monocular and said in disbelief, "A man on a bicycle in the sea…"
