Chapter 930: The Third Line of Defense
The battle between Roger and Big Mom made everyone on the island restless.
Looking at the broken clouds in the sky, the members of the Big Mom Pirates were all terrified.
After decades of struggling in the New World, they have seen at least fifty people with Domineering Haki, but those who can compete with their own "mother" to such an extent are rare.
Basically, only those members who have seen the other three "Four Emperors" can find fragmentary impressions in their memories.
"Who is that kind of domineering person?"
"This feeling... I felt it the last time I went to war with a wizard. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger!!"
"What?! One Piece... is this true?!!"
"Brother Katakuri, should we go over to support them?"
The pirates looked to the commander-in-chief of this war, their most trusted brother and cadre, Katakuri . As long as he gave the order, they would immediately rush to where Big Mom was to provide support.
But Katakuri just shook his head: "It's not our turn to worry about Mom's strength! We can't interfere in a battle of that level! Our most important task now is to take back Cake Island!!"
"The battle continues!!"
"yes!!"
Katakuri paused, then turned to look at the person in the team who had been holding a mirror: "No news from Brulee yet?"
"Yes!! The mirror didn't react at all!!"
"Damn it! What on earth happened in there?"
The Mirror-Mirror Fruit can connect the mirror worlds, but the two worlds can only be connected when a person with special abilities, that is, Brulee, is present. Otherwise, it will just be an independent space. Although it can still be a fairy tale, the people inside cannot get out and the people outside cannot get in.
But now, Brulee has completely lost contact, so the only possibility is that something happened inside.
But Katakuri couldn't figure out how Brulee got into trouble in the mirror world? And who did it to her?
You know, Brulee walked into the mirror world openly with hundreds of elites from the pirate group under the watchful eyes of all her brothers and sisters. They even kept in touch after landing on the island. Nothing happened until he proposed to "bring the trapped people into the mirror world".
In other words, the accident happened suddenly, and in an instant it controlled Brulee, the ability user, and the hundreds of pirates around her, thus strangling the information exchange between the two worlds.
In addition, if you want to enter the mirror world, Brulee must be present, but Brulee cannot help others, so there are only two possibilities: one is that the other party is mixed in with the hundreds of pirates; the other is that the other party entered the mirror world early on.
In fact, in addition to being powerful, gentle to his younger siblings, and frank with his opponents, Katakuri is also very smart and logical in analyzing problems, otherwise he would not be the second member of the Big Mom Pirates.
However, he was ultimately limited by his knowledge and lack of information on magic, which resulted in him being unable to make correct inferences.
He could never imagine that there was such a thing as space magic in this world, let alone that space magic could affect the mirror world created by the power of the fruit!
At this moment, Katakuri's worried sister , Charlotte Brulee, and hundreds of elite pirates led by her have been locked up by Kira in a small dark room created by space magic and are in a state of temporary coma.
In fact, as early as after the first battle between Irene and the Big Mom Pirates, Selene warned Irene about the "Mirror-Mirror Fruit". So after that, while the island was protected by the "space folding" magic, Irene ordered all the mirrors to be destroyed. This is why Brulee and others did not find a mirror in the mirror world.
When the battle began, Kira connected the Eye of Exploration, Magic Perception, and Ancient Documents to each other, and easily discovered the opponent's surprise force that had lurked into Cake Island from the Mirror World. He then used space magic to transfer them all to his own small dark room.
It is called a small dark room, but in fact it is a place completely created by magic and there is nothing inside.
In Aslant, wizards who use this kind of magic are not uncommon. For example, Minerva of the 'Saberbiter Tiger', Jacob of the Twelve Shields, Marin, a subordinate of Brandish, and Masaki, the Blue Dragon of 'Diabolos', all have this kind of magic.
In order to facilitate the management of his own small treasury, Kira naturally learned this trick early on, and he was able to manage the space separately. Over time, he formed dozens of portable spaces of different sizes.
"First, use the spell to get rid of most of the weak minnows, then use the corpse memory to get rid of the mediocre extras, and also get rid of the surprise soldiers in the mirror world. The only ones left are the elites among the elites!"
"Well... we can start the third line of defense!"
Looking at the virtual screen, where there were already half as many pirates as when he first logged in, Kira nodded with satisfaction, and then tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard, manually adjusting the settings once again.
"What's going on, Kira?"
"Is it our turn? I can't wait!!"
The wizards kept urging Kira in his ear, looking impatient: "If you keep going like this, you will wipe out all the pirates before they reach us!"
"I say, you guys are not going to take all the bounty money for yourself, are you?!"
"Don't tell me, this guy is capable of doing such a thing!"
Kira was silent for a long time, then quietly looked away and said, "...How is this possible? Don't let your imagination run wild. Am I the kind of person who would eat alone?"
You are so right!
"Really? I don't believe it! Look us in the eyes and say it again if you can!"
Kira took great effort to shift his gaze back, but he still didn't look into their eyes. His sight seemed to be attracted by something, and slid smoothly to the fullness in front of the girls: "I really didn't..."
"He doesn't even dare to look at people... he's guilty! This guy is definitely guilty!!"
At this moment, Kira suddenly realized: In fact, girls are not always sensitive to men's gazes, so as long as men seize the opportunity, they can be unscrupulous and feast their eyes...
"Anyway, it's not time for us to go on stage yet!"
The 'ritual trap' and 'corpse memory' have worked, and now Kira will activate the last line of defense: by modifying the roads on Cake Island, the pirates on multiple fronts will collide with each other, and then use weather, geographical environment, mental magic, psychological suggestion and other operations to lower the IQ of the pirates, disrupt their ability to judge friend or foe, or intensify the conflicts between them.
After all, pirates are pirates. Even if they form an alliance, they all have their own calculations. As long as real benefits are put in front of them, the so-called alliance will be thinner than paper and more fragile than biscuits!
"Huh ha ha ha... Swastika! The evil Eight Treasures plug!!"
Looking at Kira who was laughing wildly in his seat, several people led by Lucy and Happy couldn't help but gather together and complain quietly: "I always feel that Kira's mental state today is a little abnormal..."
"Every time something like this happens, his level of chuunibaku is a hundred times higher than usual. I'm used to it!"
"Speak softly, don't let him hear you!"
On Cake Island, the many pirates who continued to advance towards the central castle had no idea that the castle they saw was just a false image, nor did they realize that the direction they were heading had long deviated from the predetermined track.
Finally, the pirate teams gradually collided with each other.
“Who are you??!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
"Damn it! They opened fire?! They must be the enemy! Shoot them back!!!"
"Something seems a little off. How could those wizards have such firepower?! How about we stop for a while and see what's going on?"
"No need! The number of coalition forces is more than several thousand. How could there be only this few?"
…
"What a thick fog! I can't see the road ahead!"
"That's weird... there shouldn't be such thick fog on Cake Island!"
"Someone is coming?! Be careful..."
"We are moving towards the center. They can only be enemies! Set up the cannons!"
…
"Look! There are so many treasures there!! Could it be that we have found Big Mom's treasure room?"
"How could treasure appear in a place like this?! Don't move!!"
"Never mind! Grab it now!!"
"Wait!! Stop it..."
"Don't even think about stopping me! You just want to take it all for yourself!!"
…
Similar situations are becoming more and more common and intensifying across the entire Cake Island!
Under the influence of magic traps and environmental changes, a team of thousands of people will become dozens of people, making it unclear for each team leader and group leader to issue orders.
The pirates, who were already difficult to manage, had their cognition disrupted and their judgment reduced in this situation, and what they ultimately saw was the illusion that the entire island was full of enemies.
People with strong wills can resist this negative impact on mental strength, and can even disperse the followers around them , but they are a minority after all.
The endless external forces will cause the magic resistance of most pirates to be reduced again and again, and finally they will start to go crazy, riot, become uncontrollable, and kill each other as Kira planned.
Less than half an hour after the pirate alliance landed on the island, they suffered heavy losses!
