Chapter 528: Advancing the City (Thirteen)

As time passed little by little, soon a group of people led by Crocodile in the extreme cold hell felt something strange coming from the ground beneath their feet.

There was a strong vibration.

It is no exaggeration to say that considering the size of the internal space of the city, each floor of the prison has an area comparable to that of an island, not to mention how solid and thick the foundation used as a partition between the two floors is. So... what kind of riot or battle would it take for them in the 'upstairs' to feel it so clearly.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's a bit too much, isn't it?"

Sand Crocodile couldn't help but speak.

Moreover, this feeling of shock has no tendency to weaken at all, but is becoming more and more obvious.

There were frequent muffled sounds below, as if the snow in front of me could break through the surface at any time like a volcano erupting.

After nearly an hour, the frightening movement slowly disappeared.

By this time, Xi Liu had already left and returned.

"Isn't it over yet?"

He strolled over, turning a blind eye to the corpses on the ground beside him.

At this moment, the pirates fighting each other in the extreme cold hell have already competed for the final winner.

There were about fifty people, a small number.

"Krokdal, is this guy one of us?"

There was a pirate staring at Shiliu with evil intentions.

After all, as managers of the forward city, some of them were extremely hostile to Shiliu.

"You can try to kill him, but do so at your own risk."

Sand Crocodile said coldly.

"..."

Just after the battle, the pirates whose murderous aura had not dissipated heard this and looked at each other... In the end, no one dared to take action.

They still knew about Xi Liu's bad reputation.

Moreover, many prisoners in the former extreme cold hell became the souls of Shiliu's sword.

"Is your mission accomplished?"

Crocodile answered the question incorrectly.

"certainly."

Xi Liu smiled evilly, "This is what the captain ordered me to do."

"You also have to do your best."

Hannibal has been killed by him... Not only that, during the operation, he also dealt with the pirates who escaped from various hells, including some guarding soldiers in Impel Down. Even though there are members of the Hell Pirates on each floor controlling the scene, due to various factors such as the number of pirates, the area and environment of each floor, there will still be many fish that slip through the net and escape... Extreme Cold Hell Likewise, Crocodile did not recruit all the prisoners to participate in this 'contender' game.

There were some trash who were not strong enough or had no need to participate, but Crocodile deliberately let him go.

But in Shiliu's view, this was a lack of compliance with Hao's orders.

That's why he opened his mouth to ridicule Sand Crocodile's ability.

As expected, when he heard this, Lao Sha's face darkened, "Although you are a dog personally selected by the captain, don't be too arrogant... You are just a newcomer in the Hell Pirates, so be honest."

"Do you want to fight? Although it was a bit rude to kill the deputy captain just after boarding the ship... But I believe that from the captain's point of view, he would not let a more powerful person be his deputy. Be angry." Xiliu was happy, and with his low words, his thumbs slightly opened the handle of Leiyu's knife.

The pirates who had won the victory and were still immersed in their own strong values ​​suddenly felt chilled.

The atmosphere at the scene was very unpleasant.

Some people swallowed nervously.

His eyes wandered between Sand Crocodile and Shiliu.

Crocodile opened his palms and burst out with a suction force. In the snowy and extremely cold hell, wisps of yellow sand rolled like a breeze suddenly filled the air, turning into a rotating miniature tornado in his palms.

The scabbard in Shiliu's hand was also opened wider.

It's like a deadly battle between the tip of a needle and the awn of wheat, about to break out.

"you…"

"what are you doing?"

At this critical moment, suddenly, the yellow sand in Crocodile's palm fell apart, and Shiliu's thunderstorm was instantly sheathed.

They both had a hallucination at the same time.

It was as if the sky and the earth were suddenly pitch black, and a face transformed by murderous intent appeared behind them, opening its emotionless eyes and staring at them.

At that moment, both of them had murderous intentions and were ready to take action.

It was also at this ingenious timing that a flash of consciousness that made them feel horrified stared at the two of them.

Crocodile and Shiliu turned their heads and looked into the distance.

I saw a familiar figure walking slowly out of the drifting snow.

There is a person on each side of him, one on his left and one on his right.

Seeing Hao's appearance, both Crocodile and Shiliu changed their expressions slightly.

His suit was in tatters, and there were still some recent injuries on his body. There was also a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth. He had obviously experienced a battle and was in a very bad condition. But the one who was more embarrassed than him was a man on the left.

His whole body was bright red, and there was a fist-sized hole in his abdomen, which was still bleeding... and it was hard to stop.

The bones of one arm were even bloodshot and poked out from under the skin, obviously broken.

The feeling... that this person is still alive and even moving despite such injuries is simply a miracle!

However, judging from the man's expression, it didn't seem to hurt or itch.

His face was always filled with arrogance and excitement, and a smile with a hint of joy.

As for the person on the right side of Hao, he is relatively normal, and there is no sign of any fight.

"Although I had expected it,... seeing it with my own eyes was still surprising."

Crocodile looked at Douglas Barrett and said something.

The two are ‘old friends’.

When he was young, Crocodile and Barrett fought against each other and drew.

What surprised him was... Judging from the hazy appearance, some of the injuries seemed to be caused by Barrett. This showed that Barrett's strength had grown to a terrifying level over the years. The guy who could fight to a draw back then might be even more powerful than him now... because Sand Crocodile didn't have the confidence to inflict such trauma to Ogi.

Of course, Hagi only looked at the injury as serious, but in fact... no injuries were caused, and it was nothing serious.

"World Destroyer, Bundivaldo."

Shiliu followed and recited.

If Barrett was the expected candidate, then...it was a bit of a surprise to him that this old guy Waldo followed him.

In terms of strength alone, among the monsters in Infinite Hell, there are many more dangerous beings than Waldo.

Hazy would actually choose him.

However, just as the two of them were thinking, Hazy raised his eyelids and locked his eyes on Crocodile and Shiliu.

"Are you going to take action?"

"..."

Shiliu and Crocodile suddenly fell silent.

Long's eyes, which were originally filled with coldness, quietly changed and became calmer, "I won't do this next time."

Fighting can take place on his ship...but only under his command.

If someone violates this rule, no matter how valuable that person is, Hao won't mind killing him.

After saying that, Hao turned around and left.

Barrett followed closely in the footsteps of his new boss and glanced at Shiliu and Crocodile with a joking look.

Shiliu also glanced back at the Sand Crocodile and followed closely behind the team.

Lao Sha's reaction was calmer.

Because according to the rules, if he had taken action just now, he would have indeed broken the agreement with Hajime.

As for the dozens of pirates on the side, they didn't pay attention to any of them.

They all know that... in the future Hell Pirates, these are not characters who need to be ‘taken care of’.

Just a little guy.
