Black cumulus clouds settled down like an upside-down black mountain pressing down inch by inch. Bursts of thunder and lightning tore through the sky. The air was oppressive and heavy. Bean-sized raindrops poured down and hit the surface of the sea, making crackling sounds. Under the ripples of the sea, black reflections were faintly discernible.
On the island, the storm was raging on the hillside, the tree trunks were shaking, the mud and sand mixed with the rotten leaves splashed everywhere.
The raindrops on the streets of Shields Town were crisp, and the crisp tinkling sound hit the eaves and windows of the buildings. Suddenly, dense footsteps came from the empty street. Clang clang clang …. Rows of Marines were lined up in a neat square formation, galloping past in big strides. Steam was rising from the top of their heads.
Turbid waves were rolling on the shore. Rows of soldiers with spears were standing straight like statues. Their eyes were full of murderous intent, and the cold and murderous aura of iron and blood gathered together like a monster roaring at the sea.
"They're here!"
The white cloak fluttered in the sea breeze. The rain slid down the brim of his hat and slid through his eyes. Yarlin stared at the shadow of the ship passing through the sea curtain with half-squinted eyes. The corner of his mouth opened to reveal his neat teeth.
"Colonel Smoker, that island is Shields Island!" On the warship, Lippa's fists that were hidden in his arms subconsciously clenched. His expression was uncontrollably anxious and nervous.
Putting down the binoculars, Smoker put on the goggles to block the wind. His short silver hair was washed by the rain and twisted together like upright needles. He stretched his five knuckles and snorted coldly, "It seems that 153 Branch has received the news of our arrival. Hey … what a big lineup!"
Tashigi lowered the brim of her hat, her black hair was tied up by a rope and casually placed behind her head. She hugged the long sword with both hands and stared at the tall figures in the rain curtain on the coast. It was like a forest of swords and spears. The cold killing intent directly pierced through the rain curtain and attacked them.
"The Marines of 153 Branch are very elite, and the intelligence shows that Colonel Yarlin is also a devil fruit user!" Tashigi reminded Smoker behind him.
"Hmph! I'll go and say hello! "
Smoker snorted coldly. He lifted his left foot and stepped on the side of the ship. His entire body soared into the air like a rocket, leaving behind a trail of smoke in the rain. The white mist steamed and changed. It was like a giant python sweeping across the surface of the sea and landing on the beach.
"So this is Logia? What a convenient ability!" Yarlin opened his eyes and stared at Smoker like a knife. A strange black line flashed across his eyes. He licked his lips and said, "White Hunter Smoker, I've heard a lot about you!"
"Colonel Yarlin!" Smoker looked at Yarlin's cold face, and there was a trace of inexplicable irritation in his heart. He said unhappily, "I've been listening to your name all this time, and my ears are about to grow calluses. Unfortunately … I haven't heard anything good about your name!"
Blazing sparks collided in the air, and the cold laughter was undisguised disgust and killing intent. The corners of Smoker and Yarlin's mouths evoked a cold arc at the same time, and the cold light in their eyes made the temperature of the entire rain curtain seem to freeze.
The warships behind them rammed and docked at the coast, splashing waves violently on the beach, and the cold wind whistled. Tashigi and a group of soldiers quickly jumped down from the sides of the ship and stood in a row behind Smoker. Even though the waves hit them, they stood still. Obviously, they were also rare elites of the Navy. They raised their guns, and the dark muzzles of the guns pointed in the direction of Arlen.
"Everyone is wearing a Marine uniform. This is not the courtesy you should have when you are a guest!" Arlen's face suddenly became gloomy, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. He glanced at Tashigi from the corner of his eyes, then glanced at Lipa, who was evading his gaze on the warship, and finally looked at Smoker. He said with a murderous look, "Colonel Smoker injured my subordinate some time ago, took Lipa, and now you came to our 153rd branch's territory and pointed a gun at me … I haven't asked you yet, what do you want to do?"
Before he finished speaking!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The navy soldiers of the 153rd branch all raised their guns in unison. The black holes of the guns were like snake tongues that spat out murderous intent. There was also the sound of running in unison. Hundreds and thousands of soldiers rushed out from all directions. Some were half-kneeling, some were standing, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"With such a big formation, it doesn't seem like you are welcoming us." Smoker swung the trident in his hand, and white smoke strangely came out from his wrist, "Yarlin, you are suspected of murdering Colonel Monca, and you tried to frame Lieutenant Colonel Lippa for all these crimes. You even sent deceived soldiers to help you kill him. All of this should be completely exposed. I advise you not to make unnecessary struggles and make a bigger mistake. Obediently surrender and follow me back to the headquarters to await trial …"
The angry sneer interrupted Smoker's voice, and Yarlin's voice was cold and fierce, "Framing? I'm afraid that's exactly what you are doing now. Lippa colluded with the rebels of the Revolutionary Army, and when the matter was exposed, he killed Colonel Monca and defected. You listened to his nonsense and made a false accusation. Smoker, are you really stupid, or are you just scheming to snatch the credit and use the blood of our Donghai soldiers to stain your military badge when you return to the headquarters? As for the truth of the matter, you know best in your heart! "
Smoker's pupils suddenly shrank. He subconsciously looked back at Lippa, who was hiding on the warship with a pale face, and then turned his head and gritted his teeth, "Colluding with the rebels of the Revolutionary Army again. Hmph, what a lousy excuse. It's the same as the tricks you played in Alex. It seems that you don't have any new tricks. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
"Alex?" Yarlin sneered again and again. His eyebrows were raised, and a gloomy pupil appeared in his narrow eyes. He gently took off his white gloves, revealing a strange tattoo-like black hand, and a trace of black lines surged through his fingertips, "You really dare to accuse me of any kind of shit … Hey, well, you hurt my subordinates, I have to settle it with you!"
"You'd better obediently surrender, I don't want to get involved …" Smoker said fiercely.
"I know you don't have an arrest warrant from the headquarters, so don't pretend to be a whore here and still want to set up a monument!" The black lines in Yarlin's hand suddenly bloomed in the rain curtain, like a giant man-eating flower roaring, "You framed me for murdering Colonel Monca, and I also suspect that you are covering for Lippa and having an affair with the rebels of the Revolutionary Army."
The ending sound dragged out, and the figure suddenly disappeared. The mud on the ground exploded, and the rain curtain was like layers of broken glass. The white cloak was infected by the black lines, and it was like a sharp blade cutting the rain curtain. Yarlin rushed forward, leaving a series of afterimages in Smoker's sight. His fierce voice echoed in the rain curtain, "You remember, their blood is paying for your stupidity, and it's all on your head!"
Bang bang bang …
The gunshots were loud, shattering the majestic rain!
