Chapter 608: The First Box of Lunch Sent Out
"Sister Mengmeng! Increase your defense, Armor!" Wendy urgently added a layer of defense for Rui Mengmeng.
Then there was a loud bang, and Gladius used the last of his strength to create a huge explosion, which directly blew up a mushroom cloud.
Everyone was almost blown over by the strong wind, and Rui Mengmeng was blown away. After several somersaults in the air, she crashed into the birdcage above her.
"Cough cough... It hurts so much!" Rui Mengmeng seemed to be choked by the explosion. After landing, she coughed a few times, and then couldn't help but reach out to touch her back...
Even with a defensive magic attached, the huge impact force pushed her into the birdcage, leaving two cuts on her shirt and two red marks on her back that were almost bleeding.
Wendy went for a checkup and felt that there was nothing wrong. The wound on her back would heal in no time and with a little treatment, there wouldn't even be a scar left.
Even if the clothes are damaged, Rui Mengmeng will be heartbroken for a long time.
Although she is not short of money now, sometimes she just feels sad that good things are wasted.
"These guys who play with explosions like to blow themselves up before they die, right?" Zhang Da was afraid that this man was not dead yet, so he stabbed him in the neck again.
Gladius officially went offline as the first cadre of the Don Quixote family to die in battle.
Zhang Daye's evaluation was that although it exploded, not even a Patrick Star was blown out, so it was a bad review.
…
Another cadre, Pica's tactics were much more despicable than Gladius's. After taking Altria's sword head-on, he hid in the rocks and never showed his head again.
It has been controlling the stones underground, creating various stone spikes, stone mouths and the like to attack and harass.
He also tried to help Gladius, but not only did he fail, he also brushed past a negative ghost and a lightning bolt and almost got into trouble.
Now he just wants to play it safe and hold out until reinforcements arrive, while quietly mobilizing all the stones he can collect, preparing for a big one.
Weiwei suddenly had an idea and pressed her hand on the ground. Within a few seconds, the nearby stone ground, stone spikes, and the Pica head statue formed by the stones... all turned into fine yellow sand!
Pica can control stones, but he can't control the sand!
Pica, who was hiding underground, was a little frightened. Could this little girl's ability be his nemesis?
Perona was so happy that she almost jumped up: "Great, Vivi! Turn all the rocks here into sand and see what that guy can control!"
But Weiwei stopped.
"No, that's impossible. Only Crocodile could do that." Vivi looked around the desert area that stretched about a hundred meters around her and said with some guilt. "Besides, this is already too much. I don't want to do the same thing as Crocodile again."
Turning the entire Dressrosa into a desert might prevent Pica from using her abilities, but in that case, she would cause more damage to the country than Pica did.
So what's the point of defeating Pica?
Princess Vivi, who understands the hardships of the desert , doesn't want others to experience the same.
Zhang Da also touched Weiwei's head: "It's okay, we can defeat him without such extreme methods."
Zhang Da would never turn a country into a desert just to defeat a user of the Stone-Stone Fruit.
Perona said that just now because she didn't think about the consequences at all. Now her eyes are evasive and she looks guilty.
Weiwei's move startled Pica, and she didn't make another move for the time being. Ye Yan suddenly said, "Something happened, Mr. Ye."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"The Flag Monster has lost contact." Ye Yan said, "The two guarding the boat are fine, but the six who went looking for Sucrose can't be contacted. Even telepathic communication is broken. I guess they're doomed."
Zhang Da also speculated, "Could it be that she was turned into a toy? I remember reminding them of Sugar's abilities."
"That's possible. Maybe he was greedy for credit and became careless." Ye Yan knew his own flag monster well. Although it was very despicable most of the time, it would sometimes become complacent and careless.
Zhang Da also said: "Forget about Pica, let's go straight to the palace. As long as we defeat Doflamingo, everything will be fine."
As he spoke, he gave Artoria a look, meaning that if she saw Pica making a move, she should chop him down immediately.
Then he woke up the dazed Perona and whispered a few words to her and Misaka. The two children did not have enough understanding with him, so he needed to explain it clearly.
Everyone started moving towards the palace.
Ye Yan cursed and sped up his actions: "It's good to let them suffer. Don't they want to be the leader of the Night's Watch? Let them go to the enemy!"
The others also quickened their pace. Although those flag monsters were sometimes quite tricky, they usually only tricked Ye Yan, so to others, the flag monsters were quite cute most of the time.
Especially these guys are very diligent in their work, and when they see people they like to be called "big brother" or "big sister", and they won't let others bully them.
There were no civilians on the streets at this time.
Some people noticed something was wrong when the thunder and lightning appeared out of the blue, and then the birdcage appeared and the residents immediately realized something was wrong.
Although I don’t know who made those lines in the sky, I can tell at a glance that they are not good things.
Those who were less courageous hurried back home and stayed indoors, or ran outside the town to find a place to take shelter.
The braver ones initially tried to ask others what happened, or hide somewhere to watch, but the explosion from Gladius frightened them so much that they immediately called their family and friends and ran as far away as possible.
There were also frightened people who ran to the edge of the birdcage in a panic, trying to escape, but ended up cutting their hands with the string and fell to the ground, at a loss.
But not long after, the birdcage suddenly disappeared.
The civilians at the edge of the birdcage were confused. Was the culprit defeated?
Or has the person who released this thing already achieved their goal?
Without having time to think about these things, the civilians all looked for boats to go out to sea, preparing to avoid the limelight first. They had just experienced a terrifying incident and were very sensitive.
On a small island near Dressrosa, a toy soldier is mobilizing the Greenbit dwarves for war.
Cyrus had been searching for his wife and daughter for many days, but there was no news. He thought they had met with an accident and even considered committing suicide.
But that is a cowardly act. If he were a man, he should find a way to drive out Don Quixote's family and avenge his wife and daughter. This is his responsibility as a husband and father.
He should also recapture Dressrosa and welcome back King Riku. This is his responsibility as the former army captain.
"Although I don't know the exact details, Doflamingo made such a big move, it must be because of a huge change!"
"Now may be the best time to defeat the Don Quixote family and retake Dressrosa! Many companions may be sacrificed in this battle, but we cannot stop moving forward.
And I, as the captain, will lead the charge!"
"oh!!!"
A group of palm-sized dwarf warriors responded enthusiastically. In front of them was Cyrus, who had won 3,000 consecutive games in the arena. As long as they helped him restore his human body, they would definitely win.
As for why they knew about Cyrus' deeds, it was Mr. Toy Soldier himself who explained it.
Will the dwarfs believe him if he says so?
Yes, I will believe it.
Even if they don't believe it, just add after you say it, 'Everything I said is true', and then they will believe it.
This is the simplest race in the world.
The Liku royal family had done a favor for their Dontata clan, so after listening to Cyrus' words, they were willing to fight for him.
At this moment, King Riku, who was hiding in a corner, stared blankly at the sky. This line should have been made by Doflamingo. What was he going to do?
Dressrosa has been taken away by him, so is he going to continue persecuting civilians?
The decadent King Riku came out of his hiding place. Even if he couldn't save the people, he would at least fight for them once before he died.
He owes it to the people.
