Chapter 237 Gaze
The shutter sound rang out.
Flame Photo Man, still not satisfied, pressed the shutter several more times.
It could be said that what he was pressing at this moment was not the shutter of a Camera, but the button of a Cash Machine.
"Nicholas, you are surrounded! Release Saint Sommerfield immediately!"
At this moment, countless CP0 Members wearing white robes and masks, along with Celestial Dragon guards, descended upon the rooftops of the surrounding Buildings, encircling Nicholas within.
Faced with the CP0's shout, Nicholas remained silent for a moment, then used Lightning Long Rope to bind Saint Sommerfield even tighter.
"Save me, I'm going to die, going to die."
Feeling the suddenly tightening Lightning, Saint Sommerfield hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Captain, Miss Bellin says it's about time."
Just then, Brook's Spirit Body, entirely constructed of Soul Power, drifted to Nicholas's Side and spoke to Nicholas.
Nicholas tossed the bound Saint Sommerfield in his hand directly to Brook.
Brook reached out and caught Saint Sommerfield thrown by Nicholas. Accompanied by a surge of Chill, Saint Sommerfield was frozen in Ice the moment he touched Brook. Brook, carrying Saint Sommerfield, floated in the Sky, his Gaze towards Nicholas carrying a hint of inquiry.
"You withdraw first, I still have Things I want to try. Tell Bell-lin to withdraw first, I'll be there in a moment."
"Understood."
Understanding Nicholas's intention to stay, Brook was not pretentious. He responded without hesitation, and then soared into the Sky with the frozen Saint Sommerfield.
Using Moon Walk while carrying someone would greatly affect both agility and Speed.
However, for Brook in Spirit Body State, this problem did not exist at all. In fact, in Spirit Body State, his Speed could be said to be quite fast.
"Eh?"
Simon looked at the Celestial Dragon frozen on the Deck, a hint of doubt in his expression.
"Where's Captain?"
"Captain said he wants to test something, told us to withdraw first and he'll catch up later."
Brook looked down at Mary Geoise below, almost as small as a model, and said.
Simon was shocked and said solemnly, "To stay alone and face so many Enemies, even if it's Captain…"
"Simon, you have to believe in Captain. If Captain said it, he can definitely do it."
Vistad's Tone was filled with trust in Nicholas.
"In any case, our Mission is to leave here as soon as possible, not to worry about Captain here. If we stay here, we will only affect Captain. Besides, isn't there Miss Bellin's Insurance?"
"..."
Thinking of Bell-lin's terrifying Ability, Simon nodded.
Below the clouds.
Nicholas's Body hovered in the Sky.
He glanced around slightly, scanning the Enemies densely leaping up from the Ground. It could be said that they reacted within minutes of the attack and retreat. This level of security was simply Terror.
"And they all know Moon Walk…"
Looking at the number of Enemies using Moon Walk, it far exceeded Nicholas's expectations. This also demonstrated the importance of the World Government's education starting from childhood.
After all, potential Members or Top Figures from 'Hometown' join the CP Organization, while those who cannot join the CP Organization enter Holy Land Mary Geoise to become guards responsible for the safety of the World Government and Celestial Dragons.
From this, it could also be seen that the World Government controlled a Force no weaker than the Marine.
"Perhaps your Strength is effective against ordinary Great Pirates, but if you want to deal with me, I'm afraid you are being too naive."
Nicholas began to use Observation Haki to lock onto the Enemies coming from all directions.
"Boom, crackle!"
Thunder sounded, and bolts of Lightning suddenly fell from the Sky, directly striking the Enemies exposed in the open air.
Speaking of which, how did that Fishman manage to cause such a ruckus in Mary Geoise back then? Even if the Slaves were released, with the Strength of those Slaves and Fisher Tiger, who was killed by Kizaru in seconds, it didn't seem possible to create such a big commotion.
Could it be because of that inextinguishable Great Fire?
As his thoughts drifted, Thunder falling from the Sky poured down towards the Holy Land guards.
Faced with Nicholas's Attack, the guards showed off their skilled Moon Walk techniques, which was somewhat ridiculous. After all, no matter how fast Moon Walk is in the Sky, could it be faster than Lightning?
If it were ordinary shooting, these Holy Land guards would show off their skills.
After all, if they could be taken down by ordinary shooting, how would they be qualified to be responsible for guarding the Holy Land?
However, encountering Nicholas, this Overpowered Being, was a bit troublesome.
The Holy Land guards struck by Lightning were like Birds hit by Bullets, their Whole Body charred black, afro hairstyles and all, falling straight from the High Sky to the Ground.
Watching their comrades being struck down by Nicholas one by one, the remaining guards did not waver at all, and continued to use Moon Walk to rush towards Nicholas.
For them, the education they received since childhood was to protect Holy Land Mary Geoise and Celestial Dragons, even at the cost of their Lives.
"Bang bang…"
The guards rushed towards Nicholas while firing Guns to interfere with Nicholas, but Lead Bullets without Armament Haki were truly less damaging than a Fist to a Logia Type Overpowered Being.
Seeing the fearless Holy Land guards getting closer and closer, Nicholas had no intention of retreating, but instead revealed an interested expression.
"Eh, there really are people who aren't afraid of death."
With a soft exclamation, Nicholas's Body turned into a stream of light, instantly appearing hundreds of meters away.
What the hell?
Watching their side make heavy sacrifices and finally close the Distance, but the opponent just disappeared?
This unreasonable maneuver immediately stunned all the Holy Land guards and CP Members who had come to deal with Nicholas.
Under the gaze of countless gazes, Nicholas lightly landed on the periphery of a Building that resembled a church.
"You're really not afraid to die watching the Excitement? Good mentality."
Nicholas tilted his head to look at the Celestial Dragon inside the Building, who had a bewildered look on his face, his Eyes narrowed slightly.
Before his Words finished, Nicholas waved his hand and swung a Thunder Dragon towards the Celestial Dragon.
And at this moment,
A bald man holding a Demon Blade almost instantly appeared in front of the Building where Nicholas and the Celestial Dragon were, and then swung a Slash backhand, cutting the ferocious roaring Thunder Dragon in two.
The energy of the Thunder Dragon dissipated and stirred up gusts of Gale.
Inside the Building.
The Celestial Dragon who had witnessed all of this seemed to suddenly awaken, collapsing to the Ground with a face full of Fear.
Outside the Building.
Nicholas looked towards Pangaea Castle.
He felt a Gaze cast from there.
Along with that Gaze came an unprecedented sense of oppression.
It was a Terror oppression that transcended the concept of Life! It could even be said to be oppression from instinct, just like when a person encounters a Tiger in the wild, it was Fear engraved deep in his Gene.
(Of course, some Big Shots who can take down Tigers with a sliding shovel are not included, after all, if you can shovel and kill Tigers, you are already considered non-human.)
