Chapter 258
On Loguetown, the sudden rainstorm, coupled with the battle between Marine and pirate, all the townspeople stayed at home.
On the empty street, Luffy and his party of four moved towards the outside of the town and ran away, but the rain was too heavy, and the visibility was only a few meters away, and even the road a little further away could not be seen clearly.
Behind, hundreds of Marines were chasing them.
But at this moment, a silhouette appeared on the way of Luffy and the others, and this was the beautiful girl in the weapon shop.
Tas.h.i.+gi lowered her head, with deep disappointment in her tone, Didnt expect you to be Roronoa Zoro and a pirate, you lied to me.
TL note:
Captain Tas.h.i.+gi is a Marine officer serving under Vice Admiral Smoker in the base of G-5. She was originally introduced as a Master Chief Petty Officer in Loguetown
Sanji, the pervert, was upset in an instant, What, what have you been doing?! What did you do to such a cute beauty!
Zoro was too lazy to deal with him, and was pushed aside by the idiot Sanji, who was full of s.e.x and big head. You didnt ask what my name was. We didnt lie to you.
Tas.h.i.+gi annoyed, shouted loudly: A villain like you, I dont think you will have that kind of famous sword! I will take it back!
Lin Tian stepped forward, patted Zoros shoulder, slightly sighed and said: Zoro, its your own trouble, you can solve it by yourself, we will not help.
What? Sanji immediately shouted: Zoro, what did you do to a beautiful woman?!
Hearing this, Zoros was suddenly covered with black lines, the more he said it, the more difficult it was to explain, and he didnt speak at all, but the beautiful girl suddenly spoke.
Vice Admiral Lin Tian, you have always been my most admired person. I really hope to be like you, the strongest swordsman in Marine. But but I didnt expect you to betray Marine, but also became a pirate, I also want to
Lin Tian smiled slightly, Oh my, you want to take back my Chasing Wind? Are you sure you can do it?
This Tas.h.i.+gi immediately was speechless, and understood how powerful she is against Vice Admiral Lin Tian. Through Smokers understanding, she learned that Chasing Wind is with the Marines legendary genius, her idols sword.
She understood at a glance that the man in the weapon shop that met Zoro was Vice Admiral Lin Tian who had betrayed Marine.
Looking at Tas.h.i.+gis disappointed eyes, Lin Tian deeply sighed in his heart. He was afraid that many Marine soldiers in Marine, like her, are full of disappointment in him.
Pulling Sanji and taking Luffy away, The matter between you two, you can solve it yourself. We will go first. Hurry up, Zoro.
Tas.h.i.+gis angry face immediately blushed. There was a clear blush on her cheeks, and she pouted and retorted: I dont have anything to do with this kind of liar! I must take those worlds famous swords back.
Suddenly, Lin Tian stopped and said meaningfully: Remember, the Marine is not absolute justice. Pirates are not absolute evil. Justice and evil are not based on positions but on people, and the Marine is not what it looks like.
Lin Tian took the shouting Sanji towards the entrance of the town.
Seeing the towering town sign, Luffy shouted happily: Hey, I see the exit!
Not good, it seems that someone is there, Sanji shouted in a deep voice, and the three stopped at the same time.
At the exit, there was a three-wheeled motorcycle parked. A Marine Captain, with two cigarettes in his mouth, standing there for a long time, obviously he was waiting for them here.
Smoker said seriously: Straw Hat Luffy, you cant enter the Grand Line without defeating me.
En! Luffy then recalled the previous conversation and said to the two people behind: Lin Tian, you can go first, I will deal with him.
Luffy did not wait for the answer from the two at all, and directly moved towards Smoker and rushed up. Sanji was ready to go to the Going Merry.
Lin Tian stretched out and grabbed Sanji, in his puzzled eyes, said: Dont. You and Luffy will go together.
Together?
Before he finished, a figure flew over. Lin Tian slid in his footsteps and dodged backwards. The figures slammed into Sanjis body and flew upside down together. With a bang, they crashed at the side wall.
Luffy, who got up, touched his head with some headaches, and said in surprise: Hes really strong!
Lin Tian took a step forward, facing the man and said: Luffy, Sanji, you go to the Merry first. Nami should be facing the Marine currently. They shouldnt be dangerous. But hes not your opponent, he was taught by me.
Luffy refused to admit defeat and wanted to fight, but Sanji understood. The two of them are not Smokers opponents. It is better to hand it over to Lin Tian.
Without saying much, he directly took Luffy, who was still trying to fight, ran towards the entrance of the town, turned around and shouted: Hey, Lin Tian, dont lose Zoro!
He waved his hand to signal Sanji to rest a.s.sured, but his eyes were still fixed on Smoker in front of him.
Compared with the smile on Lin Tians face, Smoker had a cautious look, and under his invisible aura, he kept sweating.
From the previous words of Tas.h.i.+gi, he had heard that after seeing one of 12 Saijo O Wazamonos Chasing Wind, Smoker knew that Lin Tian was also here.
As the Marine elite, Smoker and other elite students, they have all been to the Marine G1 branch Lin Tian for half a year of study and experience. This is also Marines practice for several years.
Therefore, Lin Tian certainly knows the pursuit of 12 Saijo O Wazamono, because Smoker had the honor to watch that battle back then and is still impressed today.
Lin Tian took the lead and said: My, my. When you see your instructor, you dont even say h.e.l.lo.
Hmph!
Smoker directly coldly snorted, and then said: Instructor, now you have betrayed Marine. You can only be regarded as a Marine traitor, and you have become pirate. You really lose Marines face. How can I call you that?
Haha Lin Tian laughed suddenly, Smoker, it seems that I havent seen you for a while, you still hate pirates so much as you used to be, Im afraid you still know nothing about Marine.
His complexion slightly changed, Smokers tone also dropped a lot, No matter what Marine is, in this whole world, only Marine insists on justice, which is much better than pirates.
Today is the last time I call you Instructor. From now on, you will be the enemy.
Oh, really? Lin Tian slightly lifted his head, and asked indifference, not at all taking Smokers words seriously.
Not much to say, Smoker held the Nanashaku Jitte behind his back, his lower body turned into smoke, and the whole person moved towards Lin Tian straight and flew away, and did not make irregular movements as usual.
TL note:
Nanashaku Jitte Smokers main weapon is a large jitte that is quite long and is tipped with Seastone, a material that affects Devil Fruit users in a similar way to the sea (a person who consumes a Devil Fruit becomes weak and unable to move his or her body in the water, and Seastone is, in Smokers own words, a solidified form of the sea), which he uses to subdue criminal Devil Fruit users. Since only the tip is Seastone, it does not affect Smoker himself. He keeps the tip hanging in the air at all times, and his thick clothing provides further protection. When he turns into smoke, the weapon does not turn into smoke with him because of the Seastone. Instead, he carries it with him while in smoke form.
As a teacher of the year, Smoker had a clear understanding of Lin Tians battle strength. The difference between the two was too great, and all other actions were unnecessary.
Clang, clang!
Faced with Smokers attack, Lin Tian did not evade at all, engraved with Seastones sharp Nanashaku Jitte, directly pierced Lin Tians body.
Seeing his. .h.i.t, Smoker was taken aback at first, and then a smile appeared on his face. His Nanashaku Jittes tip made by Seastone, which is extremely lethal to Devil Fruit Ability User.
Brat, its too early to be happy. Dont you know youve been abused for half a year? The gap between your strength and me cant be made up with some weapons.
bang!
Before the words fell, Lin Tians pitch-black fist burst into a powerful force, like a meteorite, fiercely hit Smokers chest.
The powerful force bombarded the chest, and the whole body was trembling constantly, and there was a slight clicking sound on the body.
Drops of blood slipped from the corners of the mouth,
ticking ticking.
Under the impact of the rain, the dark rain flooded the two people. The burning tobacco made contact with the rain.
Your strength is too weak. This strength is not qualified to stop me. Compared with you in the past, Smoker, you havent changed, even your personality is the same.
Lin Tian didnt stop. He raised his foot and kicked it quickly. Under the rapid impact of the rain, it burst instantly and turned into white water vapor.
Even if it is his own student, Lin Tian does not keep his hands at all. It made a m.u.f.fled sound, a louder bone training sound than before.
Smoker opened his mouth and spouted a blood arrow, and the whole person flew out immediately. Fiercely hit the wall on the side, and the whole house collapsed under the huge impact.
The thick smoke and dust dissipated instantly under the impact of rain, the peng sound rang, and one silhouette stood up from the ruins.
Covering his chest, crouching and barely standing, Smokers chest surged, and he spurt a mouthful of blood again, almost falling to the ground again.
A silhouette rushed out from the pouring rain, the cold glow flashed, the sharp blade slid through the rain towards Lin Tian.
Smoker not far away clutched his chest and shouted, with deep concern in his tone, Tas.h.i.+gi, dont go! Hes- that man, youre not his opponent!
File clang!
Tas.h.i.+gis sword did not stop. But when she was about to hit Lin Tian, she was blocked by Zoro who came. The blade turned and moved Tas.h.i.+gis sword away.
Her right hand flipped over, suddenly exerted force. These were not merciful. He was immediately knocked out and fell to the ground, but his nervous face was abnormally relaxed.
It seems that Zoros purpose for playing Tas.h.i.+gi is for her safety. If Lin Tian fights back, it will be difficult for Tas.h.i.+gi to survive. Fortunately, he rushed over in time.
Seeing that Zoro has also arrived, Lin Tian put back the Chasing WInd. Smoker has no power to fight anymore. The remaining marines had no chance against Lin Tian.
Looking at the silhouette who barely stood in the distance, Lin Tian reminded Smoker, strength is everything. If you want to realize your dream, you also need strength. Remember, the weak are prey to strong. Strength is the foundation of everything.
Knowing that the back has disappeared in the rain, Smokers clenched fist was released, and his mouth muttered: Strength, everything is strength Tas.h.i.+gi, gather the troops, East Blue is not for us anymore. We go to the Grand Line.
