One Piece: Shinigami System

Chapter 273 – Assassination against the royal family

The place where the killing intent rises is on the roof outside the square.

Although Hayden couldn’t see clearly with his eyes, the meaning was very obvious.

There were a few blurry figures standing on the coral floor on the roof.

A murloc named Hodie Jones, he is wearing a murloc island army costume, holding a spear in his hand, and his eyes are fixed on Princess Otohime on the round table in the center of the square.

As a member of the fisherman island army, his duty should be to defend the safety of the fisherman island and the safety of the royal family. However, his task today is not to protect the safety of the royal family.

He flashed his fierce eyes, staring in the direction of Princess Otohime.

Looking at the ideal of Princess Otohime, her vision really seems to be about to come true, and then their fisherman island can coexist peacefully with humans…

Hodie Jones, he doesn’t want such a future.

Everything that humans have done to their race, he has always kept in his mind when he was very young, plus the ‘hell’ environment surrounding Murloc Street.

As time grew, the distorted resentment in his heart not only was not smoothed by time, but continued to increase.

To realize his own dream, his dream of Hodie Jones.

For this reason, even if he had to kill a character like Princess Otohime, he had to achieve his goal.

Killing Princess Otohime was only his first step.

In the future, he will let the fisherman island be under his control, and then he will bloodbath Malin Vandor and kill all the human kings in the world, thus opening the horrible legend of the “undersea kingdom”.

At this moment.He watched a ray of fire rising from the round platform in the center of the square, and slowly raised his spear.

At the same moment.

Just when Hayden’s attention was all on the far side of the square.

Without warning, the box on the side used to hold the list suddenly burst into flames. It was not the kind of fire that burned slowly, but the flame that rose like an explosion.

! ! !

“Quickly leave!! The fire is about to burn!!!”

“Come on and put out the fire!!”

Numerous guards guarding the side of Princess Otohime.

The response was swift and immediately began to organize personnel operations, while instructing the densely packed ordinary people not to panic.

Hayden was a little surprised at this. What the group of guys used to light the fire was so convenient and so concealed.

However, although he could put out the fire at once and save those already piled up on the National Administration list, he did not act immediately.

because–

Taking advantage of this moment of chaos in the square.

A bullet came from the roof of the square in the distance.

In the noisy panic caused by the fire in the square, the sniper bullet seemed to be silent, piercing the air, flying over everyone’s head, and the bullet aimed straight at the body of Princess Otohime.

None of the people in the square noticed the abnormal noise. Even if someone noticed, in this case, they were afraid to suspect that they had the hallucinations.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)Of course, everyone on the square does not include Hayden.

Hayden instantly wrapped the small stone he held in his hand with the armed color, turning it into a shiny black small stone, like obsidian.

The bullet fired by the sniper spear came to Princess Otohime in almost an instant.

At this moment, a moment that seems to be slowed down at this moment.

Even if the surrounding atmosphere was very chaotic, Princess Otohime could finally perceive the bullet that was shot at her. However, she had no chance to avoid the bullet.

Whoosh!

The last moment.

Hayden, who was holding the pebbles, moved in front of Princess Otohime and threw it away.

The speed of the pebbles exceeded the rate of fire that ordinary spears could achieve, and even made a strange howling in the air.

boom! !

The pebbles accurately hit the incoming bullet. After the two made a slightly louder noise, the sniper bullet was intercepted by an ordinary pebble.

“Ding Ding!!”

The bullet and the stone landed at the same time.

Then, in the last second, the square was still slightly noisy. At this time, because of the sound of the impact, it became quiet in an instant.

Princess Otohime was startled.Everyone around her was also stunned, and among them were the three brothers of White Star and Neptune, as well as Qiwu Haijinping.

After the bullet hits the ground.

Jinping also later realized what happened in the air just now. Someone was preparing to assassinate Otohime and stop the bullet…

He glanced at Hayden, who was covered by the helmet. Although he was curious about Hayden, it was not the time for him to be curious about such things at this time.

“Protect Your Highness Otohime!!”

Jinping shouted.

At the same time, I quickly checked around to see which direction was suspicious and the bullet came from that direction.

At this moment, Otohime, who was startled, also recovered instantly.

She turned her side and glanced at Hayden, then withdrew her gaze. She understood that the warning Hayden had previously given her was true.

At the same time, there was no doubt in her heart about Hayden, the suspicion was made by him.

Because, if this human wants to do something unfavorable to their fish-man island, he can do it simply based on his strength, why bother to do this.

Then, the trace of fright that still remained on her face just now disappeared.

A perfect smile quickly appeared on her face, indicating that Shi Ping did not have to worry about her safety.

Then, in Hayden’s eyes.

The princess Otohime in front of her seemed to have performed some magic, almost just a few short words, which immediately calmed the anxiety and panic in the crowd, and calmed the frightened crowd.

at the same time.Hodie Jones after firing a shot.

He watched that his bullet was blocked by something invisible. The bullet did not have the effect it should have. Princess Otohime was still standing in the center of the square.

Blue veins appeared on Hordy’s forehead, and his fangs clenched together.

Things did not develop as he imagined in his mind.

Today’s decision has already taken a lot of risk. If the goal he wants is not achieved, then things will be very bad in the future…

Subsequently.

Driven by the twisting resentment that suddenly increased in his heart, Hordy took the risk and fired a second shot at Princess Otohime.

however–

boom! !

Although Hayden did not expect that this guy would dare to fire a second shot, the bullet was easily blocked by him at random.

but.

The sound of this second shot made the three Neptune brothers, who were already extremely vigilant about their surroundings, as well as Jinping on the side, confirming the place where the shot was shot.

Jinping immediately rushed in that direction, and left a sentence to protect His Royal Highness Otohime.

After hearing this, the three Neptune brothers, under the escort of guards, prepared to take Bai Xing and their mother, Princess Otohime, to leave the now very unsafe square.

Princess Otohime did not agree to their evacuation at this time.

Because, she knew that if there was a human being Hayden here, their lives would not be in danger.
