Chapter 476 The end is coming
Heavenly Gold is the treasure that the participating countries of the World Government must regularly pay tribute to the Tianlong people.
It can be understood as a tribute, or it can be understood as a tax.
Because it is a direct tribute to the Tianlong people, its importance does not need to be repeated.
And Barrett didn't know what motive, but he shot the gold in the sky shortly after the end of the world conference.
Maud looked at the ongoing live broadcast and narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the picture, the huge battleships were lit with fire, and black smoke billowed into the sky.
Barrett stood alone on the bow of a battleship that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, grinning and facing the artillery fire from many battleships.
The screeching sound of cannonballs resounded across the sea.
Cannonballs broke through the air and flew towards Barrett like a flock of geese returning from the south.
"It's boring."
Barrett's eyes flickered with fierce light, he raised his arm and waved, and the armed color burst out from the body, detonating those flying shells in mid-air.
"Boom...!!!"
In the intensive explosion, thick smoke overflowed.
Immediately afterwards, Barrett volleyed out of black smoke, with a speed like thunder, fell straight from the air, and slammed into one of the ships.
Hearing a loud bang, the ship suddenly split into two pieces.
And the people on the ship, like garbage, were knocked away by Barrett one by one, and they were smashed into the sea to live and die.
The surrounding battleships turned their muzzles one after another, and they resolutely fired at Barrett regardless of the safety of their colleagues.
With a shrill sound, the shells roared towards the ship that was torn in two.
Seeing this, Barrett directly stepped on the moon and lifted into the sky.
The numerous artillery shells that flew in hit the ship, causing bursts of violent explosions. In just a second or two, the ship turned into countless wreckage and floated on the sea.
As for the people on the ship...
100% will not survive.
Barrett stepped on the moon step, stabilized his figure in the sky, and looked down coldly at the frigates who sent his colleagues to resist.
His goal is Heavenly Gold, but it is not impossible to destroy these frigates responsible for escorting Heavenly Gold.
"Boom...!!!"
Gunfire erupted on the deck of the ship.
Countless lead bullets loaded with heat shot through the air at Barrett.
Barrett did not dodge or dodge, and let the dense lead bullets hit him, creating clusters of fleeting sparks.
He ignored the navy who were shooting at him, and glanced at the large ships that had escaped some distance.
The heavenly gold tribute to the Tianlong people is on these large ships.
But instead of chasing the ships, Barrett focused his attention on the escort ships.
In his opinion, the ship that placed the gold in the sky could not escape his palm.
Under this premise, destroying these frigates with overwhelming force is the theme of this warm-up live broadcast.
Barrett slowly retracted his gaze and turned to look at the frigates on the sea.
Such a number of ships and troops are enough to capture a small and medium-sized country.
But in front of real monsters, it is just a fake.
"Boom bang..."
Barrett stepped in the air, and his body was like an arrow shooting at the frigate below.
The fierce firepower released from the frigates could not injure Barrett at all, or even slow down Barrett's offensive.
Faced with such a monster, the navy on the frigate was deeply desperate.
less than a minute.
A dozen frigate ships turned into countless wrecks floating on the sea.
One after another, the corpses visible to the naked eye floated and sank in the wreckage.
This cruel picture was sent to countless pairs of eyes around the world through live broadcast.
Inside the castle.
Maud and the others who were having a banquet also witnessed the whole process.
Everyone present was silent.
Maud's response was lukewarm, while Reilly and Jabba frowned.
At this time, the live broadcast is still going on.
After Barrett completely destroyed the frigate, he went straight to the large ships that had escaped earlier.
In the face of the terrifying speed of the moon, even if these large ships escaped a few minutes in advance, it would be of no avail.
Barrett caught up with the boat, and then killed everyone on board with a thunderous force.
From this moment on, the heavenly gold on the ship became Barrett's property.
"Haha, the troops responsible for escorting 'Gold in the Sky' are so vulnerable."
At this time, the live broadcast finally came out with sound.
Before that, there was no sound from Barrett destroying the frigate ship to the time he killed everyone on the ship with the gold in the sky.
And this sudden voice obviously did not come from Barrett's mouth.
Because Barrett in the live broadcast kept his lips tightly closed and never spoke.
"Oh, no, it should be said... it's Barrett, you are too strong, hahaha!"
The voice sounded again, and the live broadcast camera moved for a while.
Festa with a cigar appeared in the center of the live broadcast.
He held a very prominent permanent pointer in his hand.
Or should I say...
Conspicuous is a string of names under the permanent pointer wooden frame - Ralph Drew.
"That's Ralph Drew's permanent pointer?"
People watching the live broadcast all over the world saw the name under the wooden frame of the permanent pointer through the high-definition live broadcast screen.
It's just that the permanent pointer has no anti-counterfeiting code. Anyone can engrave various words on the permanent pointer, so it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the permanent pointer through a name.
But this kind of thing...
Those who are willing to believe will naturally believe, and those who do not want to believe will not believe no matter how much they explain it.
But there are more people who would rather believe there are or not.
therefore--
When Ralph Drew's permanent pointer appeared, many people around the world were breathing more and more, staring at Festa's permanent pointer in his hand.
In the eyes of many people, the object in Festa's hand is not a permanent pointer, but a treasure map about a great treasure.
As for what Festa said, they were basically ignored.
.........
New World, Cake Island.
Charlotte Lingling looked blankly at the Ralph Drew permanent pointer in the live broadcast.
Beside her were several Charlotte family children headed by Perospero.
Naturally, they also saw the Ralph Drew permanent pointer in Festa's hand, and they all sneered.
If there really is a Ralph Drew permanent pointer in this world, wouldn't their mother Charlotte Lingling's behavior of collecting road signs history articles over the years become the biggest joke.
So they just took the Ralph Drew Perpetual Pointer as a joke.
The same is true for Charlotte Lingling, who does not believe that the Ralph Drew permanent pointer in Festa's hands is real.
"I didn't expect that guy to survive..."
Perospero's attention shifted from Lovedrew's permanent pointer to Barrett.
The battle of that day was still vivid in his mind.
Charlotte Lingling didn't say a word, just watched the live broadcast with cold eyes.
About Barrett...
In terms of strength alone, she admits that Barrett has the right to be on an equal footing with her.
But in terms of threats, Barrett is far inferior to Maud who leads a powerful team in her eyes.
So even if Barrett gets away with it, it won't have much impact on Charlotte Lingling.
"A boring farce."
There was a hint of chill on Charlotte Lingling's slightly hideous face.
Today's new world, seemingly calm on the surface, is actually turbulent.
Kaido fell, and the territory should have been swallowed by the Maud Pirates.
After Whitebeard died in the war on the top, his pirate group did not fall apart, but gradually recovered and even strengthened the team under the leadership and support of Ace and Marco.
Red-haired Shanks didn't make any big moves after that except for a fight with Kaido on the eve of the top battle.
In fact, from the time Maud broke into the new world to the moment when he disturbed the whole new world, he never caused any trouble to the red-haired pirates.
On the contrary, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and her own Pirates of the original Four Emperors were all sanctioned by Maud and suffered huge losses.
Not to mention the white-bearded pirates that were propped up by the little devil head of Fire Fist, and even the beast pirates that occupied the dangerous land of Wano, and relied on the geographical advantage to wildly expand the scale of their forces and manufacture weapons. Destroyed completely.
In contrast, the Red-haired Pirates, who have never fought against Maud, have not been damaged in recent years, and may even have accumulated more strength.
Therefore, in Charlotte Lingling's view, the most vigilant and attention-worthy opponents in the new world are the Maud Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates.
In addition to other new world forces, including Barrett, she neither cares nor has any interest.
Ralph Drew's permanent pointer?
What a big joke.
......
The new world, the stronghold of the Red Hair Pirates.
Coincidentally, the members of the Red Hair Pirates, like Maud and the others, learned about Barrett's live broadcast of the robbery of gold in the sky on the way to the banquet.
They put down their wine and meat, and focused on the pictures in the live broadcast.
Only Hawkeye, who attended the banquet as a guest, didn't even glance at the live broadcast, but silently raised a glass and drank.
It seems to stay out of the way, or have no interest in these things.
"Boss, is the permanent pointer fake?"
In the red-haired pirates, someone looked at Shanks in the main seat, and couldn't help but asked curiously.
Shanks did not answer the question of his subordinates immediately, but looked calmly at Barrett and Festa in the live broadcast.
During the time when the Roger Pirates were galloping across the sea, in terms of identity, the two men in the live broadcast could be said to be his predecessors to Shanks.
only……
During the time he was on the ship, Shanks never heard anything about Love Drew's permanent pointer.
But just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean you haven't.
So it is difficult for him to determine the authenticity of this permanent pointer.
"I don't know if it's fake or not."
Shanks spread his hands and answered his subordinate's question in an indifferent tone.
"Haha, even the boss doesn't know, it must be fake!"
"Are you just jumping to conclusions so casually?"
"But the boss is also very casual when answering this question."
"Haha, I can't refute you."
"Hahaha……!"
After Shanks spoke, the banquet table suddenly burst into laughter.
Hawkeye has long been accustomed to the unique atmosphere of the Red-haired Pirates, and is not affected at all.
Jesus cloth looked at Festa who was reporting where he came from, then turned his head to look at Shanks, and asked curiously, "Boss, is this dwarf also one of the original crew members of the Roger Pirates?"
"Yes."
Shanks nodded.
On this question, he can solve the puzzles for his companions.
Hearing this, Jesus Bu nodded and said thoughtfully: "With this level of identity, the permanent pointer in his hand is somewhat convincing."
"But it's only a little persuasive."
Beckman, the second-in-command of the Red-haired Pirates, said in a flat tone.
Jesus cloth touched his nose and did not refute Beckman's words, but continued to watch the live broadcast.
In the picture, Festa finally got to the point after completing a self-introduction that he thought was passionate.
In front of the camera, he slowly talked about the unprecedented Pirate Celebration to be held.
And the first prize of this so-called grand celebration is the permanent pointer in his hand, as well as the heavenly gold that the allied countries would have paid to the Tianlong people.
This kind of temptation may make countless people in front of the projection phone bug become red-eyed.
"This guy……"
Jesus frowned.
Everyone present was also a little surprised by Festa's speech.
Giving huge jackpot prizes for free just to hold an unprecedented celebration that stuns the world?
Such motives are truly elusive.
"Hawkeye, what do you think?"
Shanks suddenly turned his head to look at Hawkeye who was drinking and eating meat.
Hearing Shanks' question, Hawkeye couldn't help but pause, his eyes showing doubts.
"???"
A few question marks popped up in Shanks' head, and then he suddenly realized: "It's fine if you didn't watch this live broadcast, and even the voice is automatically filtered?"
"..."
Hawkeye nodded silently.
Shanks shook his head speechlessly and turned to look at Festa in the live broadcast.
"An unprecedented celebration..."
He whispered to himself, vaguely remembering some memories about Festa.
When I was on the Roger Pirates before, I did hear Festa say that he would hold a super celebration by himself.
It's just that at that time, he simply thought that the so-called big celebration was a super big banquet.
Now it seems--
Celebrations based on Ralph Drew's eternal pointer and celestial gold will bring nothing but strife and blood.
"Barrett..."
Shanks turned his eyes and looked at Barrett.
Recalling Barrett's previous style, he vaguely guessed something.
......
This live broadcast, which turned the process of robbing the gold in the sky into the background, did not have any cover.
No matter who you are or where you are, as long as you have equipment, you can easily connect to the signal and watch the live broadcast.
therefore.
Countless eyes from the world are focused on this.
Including the outlaws in the underground world, as well as the leading emperors, as well as the World Government and the Navy Headquarters who cannot miss this live broadcast.
They all saw the live broadcast and heard what Festa said as a former Roger Pirate crew member.
Visionaries have seen that the Great Celebration, spoken through the mouth of Festa, will be a fuse that will detonate the world.
And this time.
Maud, who was watching the live broadcast in the Castle of Terror, made a decision.
Originally... he also planned to hold a powerhouse that could attract powerhouses.
But I didn't expect to be one step ahead of Barrett and Festa.
"Uncle Rayleigh, Uncle Jabba, can you grant me a request?"
Maud held his mind and looked at Rayleigh and Jabba beside him.
He wants to add a fire that can burn to every corner of the world in this live broadcast that may be regarded as a farce by many forces.
If there is still a road ahead, then this will be the last part of the road.
The end... is near.
