From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 157: Facing Im
Marie Joa, Pangu City.

"Huh? Isn't this Saint Mataz? You're riding this disgusting fish again. Your taste really lowers our dignity!"

Kevin looked over, and because he didn't know what the fat worm was called, he could only yell, "What are you talking about? The pirate you're riding isn't as rare as my fishman!"

After cursing twice more, Kevin whipped Felsher on the back and sent him careening away.

"Go away, you idiot! If it weren't for you, would I be so embarrassed?"

Felshertag said nothing and continued to crawl aimlessly.

Fortunately, we hardly met any of Saint Mataz's people along the way. If we had started a conversation with them, our personalities and habits would have been exposed.

He has used the nickname "stupid fish" many times in such a short time, mainly in the two sentences of dialogue between his original body and Spandine when he came up, he really doesn't know how many more there are.

Soon, Kevin, swinging the whip, was gradually approaching the end point of the detector intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this time, even with the identity of a Celestial Dragon, it seemed that he could not move forward.

Although the guards around him were afraid of being killed, they would also die if they continued to move forward.

"Saint Mataz."

"Ok?"

Two guards stood in front of the crawling Tiger, and then said, "Before that is the forbidden area, you should know that."

Forbidden place?

Kevin had already anticipated that the giant mechanical soldier would not be placed randomly like ordinary objects.

It is precisely because of this that he would rather wait for more than three days just to be able to put on a Celestial Dragon vest.

But now it seems that the place where it is placed is a forbidden area for the Celestial Dragons. In memory, the only such places seem to be between the flowers of Im and the secret place where the giant straw hat exists.

So... that mechanical soldier is also in this position?
"Of course I know it's a forbidden area."

Kevin glanced at him and said, "That's why I want to go and take a look. Do you want to stop the noble Tianlong people?"

The two guards glanced at each other, with some fear in their eyes.

They eventually encountered such a thing and were unable to stop the noble celestial dragons, but if Saint Mataz stepped into that area, they would most likely be killed directly.

If I'm lucky, I might be able to survive, but if I'm unlucky...

Kevin ignored the two of them and waved the whip to make Fersher Tiger below continue moving forward.

The two guards clenched their hands and followed nervously.

As long as you're not discovered, everything will be fine once you leave.

This is the only way they can comfort themselves.

What relieved them later was that Saint Mataz obviously knew the seriousness of the forbidden area, so he was careful to avoid the guards during the rest of the process.

Fifteen minutes later, an ordinary building with a heavy iron door appeared. Although the guy guarding the door was not wearing a glass cover, his clothes alone were completely different from those of ordinary guards.

Kevin thought about it and walked out directly. This scene almost scared his two bodyguards to death.

The huge energy source of the probe is in this building.

As soon as he approached, Kevin was stopped.

"Saint Mataz, this is not the place you should be."

Sure enough, the two gatekeepers did not give any face to the so-called Celestial Dragons.

Another guard stared at Kevin's two guards and said, "Bringing the Celestial Dragons to the forbidden area. Death penalty!"

As the words fell, a cold light flashed by.

"puff!"

Blood fell to the ground, and two ordinary guards were killed. Kevin jumped up and cursed: "You two bastards actually dared to kill my guards. Do you know who I am? And you dare not greet me when you see me? You two idiots!"

"idiot?"

The gatekeeper raised his head slightly, looked at Kevin and said, "Another idiot from Don Quixote's family. Is your brain unable to remember even such an important thing?"

Another gatekeeper also said with sarcasm: "The Don Quixote clan, who were able to break away from the Celestial Dragons decades ago, have become increasingly stupid."

In just two sentences, Kevin understood something.

Above Marijoa, there are not only slug-nosed celestial dragons like Saint Mataz, but also the Knights of God who are in charge of punishing the celestial dragons.

From the prison's perspective, the two guys in front of him have a statistic of 320,000 and 480,000 respectively.

But it’s just a mechanical soldier, why would it need such a celestial dragon to guard it?

"Saint Don Quixote Mataz, leave here immediately. The Knights of God will inform you of the punishment for you later!"

"As descendants of the same twenty kings, it is a disgrace to have a fool like you around. Leave immediately!"

Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering whether he should take action directly.

The combined value of the two guys in front of me is eight hundred thousand. If I go back and kill Saint Mataz, the value will be close to two diamond treasure chests.

"I just happened to wander here, and I'm being punished? I'm... a noble Celestial Dragon!"

The moment the words fell, Kevin jumped off Tiger.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

somebody is coming.

Kevin kicked Tiger and said, "Stupid fish! Let me fall, and I will go back and punish you!"

At this time, a voice came.

"Saint Mataz."

Kevin looked over and saw Saint Satan, whom he had met three days ago, looking at him with a scepter in both hands.

At the same time, the two guys guarding the place also bowed slightly towards Saint Satan.

"Come with me."

Saint Satan said this and directly opened the door of the building. In an instant, a cold current surged out from inside.

Kevin thought about it, and because he was a shadow clone, he boldly followed him. When he entered the door, he snorted at the two guys guarding the door.

As soon as I walked in, I felt the chill...

It is not as cold as Kuzan's frozen fruit. The coldness here seems to be more aimed at people's spirit or soul.

After entering the door, Satansheng was in front and Kevin followed, while Fershetig, who was kicked twice, was left outside.

This place...or rather the interior of this building, is completely different from what it looks like from the outside.

When Saint Satan walked to an entrance leading to the underground, Kevin also saw four other figures.

Or rather... five.

This place... is exactly the entrance where Im walked down the huge steps to the underground in his memory. Under the ground here, there is a huge straw hat.

Also, how was he discovered?

"Finally we meet, Mr.... from the Revolutionary Army?"

The Five Elder Stars appeared all around, and behind them a black figure wearing a crown looked over.

From his pupils that resembled the Rinnegan, the attitude of the Five Elders, and the scene here, Kevin knew the other party's identity...Im.

“I never thought that there would be another being above the Five Elders, who are at the pinnacle of world power…”

Kevin pretended to be amazed, and then asked, "Can you tell me how you found me? Although there are many loopholes, I am not stupid enough to meet you."

As far as he could remember, neither Felsher Tiger nor the future Revolutionary Army captain and Sabo who would invade Marijoa mentioned being found directly.

He could understand that he couldn't teleport, but he couldn't accept that he could be found directly like that.

"If you hadn't arrived at this place, perhaps no one would have been able to discover your intrusion for a short period of time."

Saint Satan remained silent.

Without saying much, Kevin had a vague guess.

At this time, Yim said: "I'm curious... Since the target is here, do you know what is here?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Why should I tell you?"

Yimu's voice remained calm: "After your previous conversation with them, I thought you wouldn't come to Marijoa. But since you're here, you can't leave, so I thought you would tell me."

In a very short time, Kevin's shadow clone thought about how to get the question.

This operation ended in failure. After all, at this moment, he didn't even know whether the giant mechanical soldier was underneath.

"Although I will most likely not survive if I am discovered and cannot teleport away, but if we talk...shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

Kevin said, looking at Yim: "The things below are very important, right? Or are they only important to you?"

Yim didn't say anything, but just kept staring at Kevin.

After a long while, he said, "You don't have any fear of death, nor do you have any regrets. Even those who don't care about life and death will at least have a little regret after learning the reason for being exposed, but you don't have these two emotions."

"So... are you sure you can leave here? Or are you really not afraid of death at all, and don't regret being discovered for approaching this place?"

Kevin sighed. Sometimes it was really hard to talk to these old monsters.

Just like the last time Feilevans talked to the Five Elders, after a lot of probing back and forth, neither side got the information they wanted, and could only analyze some insignificant things from the doubts raised.

However, the shadow clone will be exposed after being blown up by them, so you can try it as bait.

"In a world like this, death isn't the most frightening thing, is it? As for regrets, since we've already been discovered, there's no point in regretting."

Kevin spread his hands and said, "So even when you are facing a person you can't escape from, you are still so timid and say nothing after asking many questions. The perception that all creatures other than you are ants seems ridiculous at this moment."

Yim was silent for a while.

"Revolutionary Army... In fact, organizations with similar names like yours have appeared more than once in history."

“But in the end, they were all destroyed and thoroughly cleansed like stinky rats in a gutter.”

Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly. "I remember that Marijoa was also invaded two hundred years ago, and there were even heavy casualties."

This made Saint Satan frown: "An iron shell without its owner can cause minimal damage to the Holy Land. If it is not still useful, that thing will be vulnerable."

Im behind him said: "It's just that the ignorant people want to give confidence to latecomers like you, but this is not the world we need."

Having said that, Yim raised his hand slightly.

"From the beginning to the end, no matter which generation of the revolutionary army, we have never considered them as opponents. This has been the case in the past, present, and future."

"Although I can tell from your look that you have something to rely on, I really want to know what it is... Kill him."

The moment the words fell, a flash of cold light passed by. "Shua!"

With the appearance of Saint Mataz, Kevin's shadow clone suddenly pulled back.

Nasujuro Sheng's long sword swept past, and a chill spread from his body.

Kevin retreated with his eyes slightly fixed.

The next moment, a sharp black line suddenly blocked the direction of retreat.

"boom!"

Turning and passing, its sharp claws like blades pierced and corroded the ground.

After landing, five people appeared in front of Kevin...

No, there were six huge monster-like figures. Even the few people who had not yet taken action, including Im, were staring at him.

After a punch, the shadow clone with entity has one third of the power of the original body, but its physical state is different from that of the original body.

Kevin pushed away the sharp weapon and dodged to rush towards the door.

"Without the ability to teleport, you don't stand a chance!"

A huge strange bird appeared in front of Kevin, a ray of light burst out from its mouth, and in an instant it arrived in front of Kevin.

"boom!"

The ground was shaking, but despite the noise, there was no sign of anyone coming in from outside the building.

In the wide corridor, Kevin shuttled between stone pillars, using his divided spirit to activate his Observation Haki to the maximum extent.

"Where is your long sword that can wield flames?"

Nasu Shoulang Sheng was like a giant skeletal horse, and the cold current attacked again as he swung his sword.

All possible evasive directions were blocked.

The next moment, a huge basin mouth suddenly appeared. Kevin struggled slightly under the terrifying suction and was sucked in directly.

"Boom."

It has been just over an hour since we entered the building, and only three minutes since Im gave the order.

Killing the cloaked man was so easy that even someone as conceited as the Five Elders felt that something was wrong.

The sandworm that devoured Kevin regained its human form: "There is no corpse, but he can't use the ability to teleport. We have been cut off from the transmission method because of him. Even now, we can't get through..."

Saint Satan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned around and knelt down towards Yim: "Your servants have failed in their duty."

Immediately afterwards, the Five Elders all knelt on one knee and called themselves subjects of Im.

Yim was silent for a while: "Sometimes insects can use certain abilities to cause trouble to God. Being able to leave like this, it seems that the known ones are not all of his abilities."

"Saint Mataz's life has not yet been extinguished. Find him and find out what happened."

"Once is enough."

"If they set their sights here, then they may already know a lot of things they shouldn't know."

Yim headed towards the underground passage, and the sound gradually faded away.

The Five Elder Stars all frowned and half-knelt on the ground respectfully.

……

Two days later, the unconscious Saint Mataz was found in the toilet by a guard.

After the Knights of God verified his identity, the Celestial Dragon who had been in a coma for five days did not get angry or even curse. Instead, he went straight back to the luxurious room in his residence, covered himself with the quilt and shivered.

The guard who discovered him was another shadow clone of Kevin. He was already dead when the real guard entered the bathroom and his body was moved.

There is a high probability that shadow clone number one has failed. After the shadow clone dissipates, the memory will be fed back to the original body, but not to him, number two.

But whether it was failure or some other reason, his mission was different from that of Shadow Clone No. 1.

If number one fails, Saint Mataz will definitely be searched out, and his true identity will be strictly questioned. In the end, it was verified by the Knights of God.

In this situation, the best choice would naturally be the guards who came to search.

Now, he needs to start his own mission.

……

The basement where Marijoa kept slaves.

Two days ago, Kevin's Shadow Clone No. 1 originally planned to let them stay in the hall of Saint Mataz, and it was already late at night when he completed the first task.

At that time, they returned and joined forces with No. 2 to liberate these slaves. However, their whereabouts were exposed and these slaves were also imprisoned back.

However, thanks to Kevin's shadow clone, Saint Mataz, who was already frightened by the name of the cloaked man, had not asked them to play games for two days.

Without the so-called side shows of the Celestial Dragons, naturally no one would die.

All slaves were imprisoned in this underground prison, but each slave belonged to a different master.

In just two days, more than a dozen people suffering the same disease were reduced here.

"Brother Tiger."

"Ah."

"Do you know what happened to that guy? When he came back after you left that day, he was like a madman, as if he was frightened of something. He ran straight into the room on the second floor, locked the door, and started yelling."

Tiger looked at his compatriot who was wearing a collar, handcuffs and shackles beside him: "I don't know. I only saw the Five Elders take him into a building that even the Celestial Dragons couldn't get close to, and then he was brought back."

In fact, Tiger was also feeling lucky at this moment.

The two guards were killed. If I hadn't been just a slave in their eyes, I might have been killed too.

But why did Saint Mataz's behavior that day make him feel a little strange?
And that building, even the Celestial Dragons are not allowed to approach it.

"I'm just curious. How could he frighten the Tianlong people? The way that guy ran upstairs like a madman was really ridiculous."

The fishman looked at the three gunshot wounds on his abdomen, which were left from the so-called game.

If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been killed by the game long ago.

Tiger didn't answer him, because no matter what, they were still in this hell and couldn't escape.

After a while, the fishman lowered his head and began to sob.

"Boss, I miss Fishman Island."

Just one sentence made Fershetig's eyes also red.

He also missed his hometown. In this place that was like hell, he missed it all the time.

Just like he mocked the three girls before, he asked the same question at this moment: "Boss... can we... can we return alive?"

Felshertag lowered his head and did not answer his compatriot.

Several years ago, in Impel Down, where no one had ever escaped, Shiki the Golden Lion successfully escaped by cutting off his legs.

But this was Marijoa, and no slave had ever escaped from here, ever.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, how could they leave at such a height? The only elevator, the time required to reach the sea level below was enough to kill them.

Unless... the whole of Marijoa falls into chaos.

At the same time, a voice sounded outside the cell, and then the door of the basement was opened and a guard walked in.

But Felshertag sniffed his nostrils and was stunned.

Bloody smell!

There's something wrong with this guard!
In Marijoa, such a strong smell of blood could not have come from just one or two people, and the place where the dead died was very close to here.

It is now the late night, and almost all the slaves have been locked up and the group of Celestial Dragons also need to rest.

At the same time, about five or six people, like Fershetig, noticed this and stood up in the cell and looked towards the entrance.

"Shh..."

Kevin made a silencing gesture.

In an instant, everyone in the underground cage reacted.

"save……"

A woman who was still very beautiful was about to shout for help, but a female pirate with a scar on her face knocked her out with a single knife.

"Boom."

The sound of a woman falling to the ground was heard, and some people quickly covered their mouths.

Kevin smiled and said, "Now listen to me, this is your only chance to leave, understand?"

Everyone, including Fershetig, nodded seriously.

Kevin glanced at the few people he remembered.

There are the three Hancock sisters, Felsher Tiger, and Kerla, one of the cadres of the future revolutionary army.

"I will throw the keys to the collar, handcuffs, and shackles into each room and unlock them myself."

"After the locks are unlocked, everyone come out one by one and I'll take you out. Are you prohibited from making statements during the process? If anyone tries to make a loud noise like that woman just now, I will kill him without hesitation."

"This escape concerns the lives of all of you. I will not put everyone at risk for the sake of one person."

"Whether you've been discovered or seen anything or anything, don't scream or go crazy!"

"Believe me, I will cut your throat before the sound comes out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin threw the bunch of keys he had just obtained into the prison.

Then, people from different races helped each other to unlock the cells, and the prisons were opened one by one.

Kevin finally came to a dirty little girl who was curled up in a corner. Even though her handcuffs and shackles had been opened, she was still trembling and did not come out.

At this time, Tiger, who had just come out of prison, came over, as if he was afraid that Kevin would get angry and kill the little girl.

So he said in a low voice: "Benefactor, can I be responsible for taking her out? I promise that she won't make any loud noises during the whole process."

A middle-aged man also came over and looked at the little girl with pity.

"I...I can guarantee it, too. Benefactor, she...she's just a child."
