Chapter 257 The Reactions of the Crowd
Chapter 257 The Reactions of the Crowd
Luo couldn't help but feel a surge of complex emotions welling up inside him.
To be honest, he did have some goodwill towards Aini.
After all, it was Enni who defeated and eliminated that despicable Doflamingo, which could be considered as indirectly avenging himself.
Moreover, the formidable strength that Enni has displayed is truly admirable. If it weren't for the fact that Enni is a Marine and a lackey of the World Government, I might actually consider joining his ranks!
Unfortunately, the two of them are now destined to be enemies.
The reason for this is truly heartbreaking. The World Government has long deliberately concealed the fact that the development of lead will release toxins and accumulate toxins in those who come into contact with it. The residents of Frevans, including Law, have all contracted this disease, which causes patients and their offspring to have abnormally pale skin and shorten their lifespan.
Ultimately, the disease "amber lead disease" caused patients to lose their offspring. However, the residents of Flès, who were kept in the dark at the time, did not realize the danger of the amber lead mine and continued to develop and expand the amber lead industry.
When Luo was 10 years old, he looked through his medical records and learned that he had only 3 years and 2 months to live due to lead poisoning.
Meanwhile, most of the residents of Flevance suffering from Amber Lead Disease began to show symptoms at this time. However, due to the World Government's deliberate indifference and the neighboring countries' misconception that Amber Lead Disease was a terrible infectious disease, they successively implemented quarantine measures on Flevance and even killed infected Flevance residents, which finally led to Flevance going to war with its neighboring countries in self-defense.
The nun he knew was leading children to escape the country because soldiers had told her they would let the children go. However, he didn't go with them because his sister Rami was still in the hospital. At that moment, the nun told him, "There is no despair in the world; the light of salvation, filled with compassion, will surely come upon us."
But then the White Town was massacred. He witnessed his parents, who were doctors, being shot to death, his sister's hospital being set on fire, and the nun and her companions who told him that he would be saved being shot by the army. The country was destroyed in a sea of fire. Luo was devastated.
He hadn't escaped by hiding among the corpses and crossing the border.
No one in the entire kingdom will survive.
He was once a kind, gentle, diligent student who loved his family.
He also wanted to become a great doctor like his father.
If he hadn't met Don Quixote Rosinante, his heart would have been filled with hatred, and his life would have consisted of only one thing: taking revenge on the whole world.
Now, although he still hasn't let go of his hatred, he is no longer controlled by it.
He has found his own partners, and he cherishes them.
However, faced with such an irreconcilable and unforgettable blood feud, how could he possibly have the slightest thought of joining the World Government?
.....
Meanwhile, in the other direction, the situation for Joelle Bonney was also not optimistic; her heart was pounding in her throat.
It's simply because she couldn't escape as quickly as Law, since she didn't possess the magical ability to teleport like him.
Just now, she managed to escape about 200 meters away with all her might, but in reality, she hadn't run very far, probably less than 300 meters.
Compared to Luo's location, she was closer to the source of danger, so the impact and effects she experienced were naturally much stronger.
Near Luo, there were some other people standing. But besides her, there was no one else standing.
One by one, they were swept into the air by the powerful force of the aftershocks, and either crashed heavily into the walls or were thrown more than ten meters away.
From where Jewelry Bonney stands, one can even see Ennis and Garp, still locked in a stalemate in the middle of the crater.
"call...."
Joelle Bonney took a deep breath; she dared not stay there for even a second longer.
Who knows what those two guys might do next.
She was still far from being able to get close enough. One wrong move and she would be caught in the crossfire. So, she turned and ran away again.
......
In the distance, Rayleigh held Luffy tightly as his figure streaked across the ground like lightning. Several other people followed behind him.
However, at that moment, a deafening roar came from not far away, as if the whole world trembled.
Rayleigh and the others stopped in their tracks and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came. Smoke and dust filled the air, and flames soared into the sky; clearly, a fierce battle had taken place.
Rayleigh's gaze instantly focused on the familiar figure on the battlefield, his pupils contracting to pinpoints. Then, he uttered softly, "This kid... he didn't even use his full strength!"
His tone was filled with disbelief and a hint of horror.
Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Usopp, who were standing next to Rayleigh, were also completely stunned by the scene before them. Their eyes were wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Chopper and Usopp, the notoriously cowardly duo, were especially terrified.
Chopper trembled violently, his once adorable round face now filled with terror. His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit a watermelon, and his tiny tongue twitched uncontrollably from the shock, as if it might fly out of his mouth at any moment.
Usopp's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He covered his mouth tightly with both hands, afraid that he might scream at any moment. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking a large patch of his hair.
"Come on!"
"Rayle shouted anxiously, knowing that there was no time to lose," he said.
Garp is a highly respected hero in the Navy. Why would he engage in such a fierce confrontation with Enni, a rising star in the Navy?
And of all times, at this very moment.
All I wanted was to buy myself more precious time so that I could successfully lead Lu Fei.
However, if it weren't for the fact that Luffy's crewmates were relatively weak and required his attention, he might have already taken Luffy and fled without a trace.
Thinking of this, Rayleigh couldn't help but groan inwardly, but the current situation was urgent and he could not afford to hesitate any longer. He could only grit his teeth and continue to move forward with all his might.
Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Usopp immediately followed.
They didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer.
