LRAB Chapter 125 Heading to Marinford
Chapter 125 Heading to Marinford
Compared to Daughter Island, Ling Yuan was much more relaxed. He was not in a hurry and even arranged his own entry time. Whitebeard must have priority to enter, triggering the siege wall, and the war on top officially began.
Shanks finally arrived to finish the battle, bringing an end to the war at the top, which started with Whitebeard and ended with Red-haired Shanks.
Ling Yuan planned to wait for Luffy's divine soldiers to descend from the sky. When that time came, he would take action and definitely turn the entire battlefield upside down. The Five Elders didn't want him to get involved in this muddy water, but he insisted on getting involved and making it completely muddy.
"Hey! Ling Yuan, where are we going next?"
Yamato tore the meat in his hands with big bites and was not polite to Ling Yuan at all. Ling Yuan was completely annoyed by Yamato's temper.
It was Kozuki Hiyori who tugged at Yamato's clothes, signaling her not to be so disrespectful. Compared to Yamato, who knew nothing, she had heard from her father Kozuki Oden that Ling Yuan was a terrifying person, and it was not an exaggeration to call him the strongest in the world.
She didn't want to offend a strong man like this, especially since she didn't know Ling Yuan's attitude towards Wano Country and the Kozuki family. Ling Yuan's attitude was only friendly to her, Hiyori, not to the entire Wano Country and the Kozuki family, so Hiyori really didn't want Yamato to offend Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan could feel that Hiyori seemed a little restrained, but he could also understand it because when Kozuki gave birth to Hiyori and Momonosuke, he was hiding on Whitebeard's ship.
At that time, Oden had already followed Roger. Although the time they spent together on Whitebeard's ship was very short, Ling Yuan still liked this not-so-bright man very much.
"Hiyori, don't be too restrained here. I have a pretty good relationship with your father. So don't be wary of me. Everyone in the world will betray you, but I won't."
Rihe stared at Ling Yuan in a daze. Ling Yuan's decisive words gave Rihe an endless sense of security. Rihe felt a lot of good feelings for Ling Yuan in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Hiyori's relieved look, Ling Yuan was slightly startled. He didn't quite believe that his words could be so powerful that they could make Hiyori Kozuki, who had been hiding her identity in Wano Country for a long time, let down her guard.
However, Ling Yuan also reacted quickly. Since receiving his memories of the pirate world, he now unconsciously speaks with some of the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge. This will not modify the other party's consciousness, but it can amplify the other party's evaluation of Ling Yuan.
Maybe it seems useless, but in reality, doing so will save Ling Yuan a lot of trouble. At least it will make the other party more likely to believe in him, or fear him, or even submit to him.
"Hey! You haven't told me where we are going next!"
Seeing that she was ignored, Yamato was completely fed up and looked at Lingyuan with dissatisfaction. Then she looked at herself first, then looked at Rihe, and seemed to be thinking in her heart, why was she inferior to Rihe, and why Lingyuan was unwilling to pay attention to her.
"Next, we have to go to the Navy Headquarters to rescue someone. As for who that person is, Yamato, you also know him!"
Ling Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then calmly took a sip of coffee. He was not afraid to tell Yamato about Ace.
Moreover, Izo is still in the White Group, so he is likely to recognize the identities of Yamato and Hiyori. Rather than hiding it, it is better to tell it, at least to be mentally prepared.
"By the way, Hiyori! You might run into someone you know in Marinford."
"Who are we going to save?"
Yamato was quite dissatisfied when she saw Ling Yuan's topic turned to Hiyori again, and hurriedly tried to change the topic back. Hiyori's eyes also fell on Ling Yuan, and she was also very curious about who the so-called acquaintance Ling Yuan mentioned was.
"Fire Fist Ace!" Ling Yuan glanced at Yamato indifferently, his tone very calm.
"What?" Yamato did not expect that after many years of separation, his best friend would now be executed.
Hiyori looked at Ling Yuan. Although her expression was still reserved and elegant, there was a hint of impatience in her eyes. She also wanted to know who she knew that Ling Yuan singled out and said that they knew each other.
Ling Yuan glanced at Hiyori's eyes, and understood what the other person was thinking. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "As for the person he knows, Hiyori does know him, but you may not know Yamato. However, you know he is the one when you hear his name..."
"who is it!"
Yamato wanted to take a mace and smash Lingyuan's head open to see what he was thinking. Every time he spoke to Hiyori enthusiastically, he would ignore her and even liked to stop talking halfway.
Even Yamato himself didn't realize where this inexplicable desire to compare came from.
"Oden's retainer, now the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates - Izo."
Ling Yuan curled his lips. If we ignore the fact that Yi Zang is a man, his face is truly stunningly beautiful, but it’s a pity that he is a sissy…
"Uncle Izou..." Hiyori looked at Ling Yuan, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Hiyori in deep thought, Ling Yuan did not disturb her. Yamato was no longer as excited as before when she heard about things related to Oden. During this period of time, she was also thinking about those things in the past. Oden's final actions were indeed a heroic act, but it was a pity that his fundamental approach was wrong.
There was a chance. After Rocks was disbanded, Kaido was not as strong as he was later. However, Oden believed the deception of Kaido and Orochi and acted as a clown for five years.
Finally, after realizing that the other party would not keep his promise, he wanted to fight back. At that time, although Kaido was still not very strong, Orochi had already become dominant.
Regardless of whether Kaido succeeds or fails, Oden will not be able to survive. Kaido may not kill Oden because of his strength, but Orochi will not do that. He is simply a villain, so how could he let Oden, who poses such a huge threat, survive?
After figuring out many things, Yamato's goal was no longer to become a person like Oden. Her goal became not to make the same mistakes as Oden, and then to surpass Oden and found the country of Wano.
"Will you save Ace?" Yamato asked. Compared to Izo, she was more concerned about Ace, her best friend who had been with her for a long time. "He is my first and only friend. I beg you to save him!"
Ling Yuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He said so much, but Yamato didn't listen. He said he would save Ace, but Yamato came to beg him now. Ling Yuan felt a little sad.
Kaido is such a smart man, how come he has such a simple child like Yamato? However, if you think about it, you will understand. She has never left Wano Country. Kaido's men in Wano Country are respectful to her. It is normal for her thinking and vision to be simple because she cannot grow.
But I really don’t want to endure it!
Ling Yuan stood up, his fist wrapped in Armament Haki, and punched Yamato on the head.
(Again, the plot is going to speed up! Just kidding, I've been a little exhausted lately, and at the same time I'm updating two books that haven't been signed yet, "Honkai Impact 3: I Hope We'll Meet Again Someday" and "I, the Hidden One". NND, to be honest, the author really has no energy to update. That is to say, I really can't finish writing 12,000 words a day, and 8,000 words a day for two books is the limit.)
