Chapter 272 They were just carrying out a mission
After a long while, the flames gradually died down.
What appeared before everyone was a huge pit, the inside of which was completely dark, and several figures that could still be vaguely made out to be humanoid remained in the pit.
But it was clear that none of these figures showed any signs of life at this moment.
Only deathly silence remained.
Seeing this, Ace and the other two couldn't help but smile slightly, but they quickly suppressed it.
Then Sabo suddenly roared:
"Those damned pirates! They actually killed a descendant of the world's creator! They deserve to die!!"
"Don't run! I'm going to catch you all and hand you over to the World Government to face their judgment!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sabo's figure instantly transformed into a streak of blue lightning, shooting off in a certain direction.
? ! ?
For a moment, both Ace and Luffy were stunned.
As expected, the second-in-command is still the second-in-command; his reaction speed is top-notch!
Soon, they followed suit and shouted the same thing:
"Damn pirates, don't run!!"
As soon as they finished speaking, one of them transformed into flames and flew forward, while the other used Shave to instantly disappear from the spot.
In just a moment, the three figures had disappeared.
The crowd was left standing there, completely bewildered, still not quite understanding what had happened.
After a while, as their thoughts gradually returned and they saw the corpse in the pit not far away, a terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in their minds.
At that moment, they didn't care about pirates at all.
All I knew was that something terrible was about to happen!
Because—three descendants of the Creator died here, and all at once!!!
……
Meanwhile, on a very famous hot spring island in the New World.
This place boasts some of the world's finest hot springs, and in one of the hot spring hotels, three figures are soaking in the hot spring.
All three of them were wearing only underwear, nothing else, and their exposed muscles were incredibly strong, giving off a powerful aura.
The three men looked quite different: one was an old man, one was a middle-aged man, and one was a teenager.
Among them, the middle-aged man was tall and slender with fluffy black curly hair; he was none other than Aokiji Kurazan, one of the three admirals of the Navy.
At this moment, he was looking at the boy beside him with curiosity, his brows slightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Why do we both have Devil Fruit powers, yet you don't look weak at all?"
Aokiji was very confused, extremely confused.
The boy he was asking about was naturally Kyle. Kyle smiled slightly, glanced at Aokiji, and then spoke calmly:
"Why would you ask such a simple question? Of course, it's because I'm better than you!"
Upon hearing this, Aokiji's brows furrowed even deeper, and he stared at Kyle with disbelief.
"Really?!"
He admits that Kyle is stronger than him, but to say that he's strong enough to ignore the side effects of a Devil Fruit?
Aokiji didn't quite believe it!
Kyle's current behavior is completely unlike what a Devil Fruit user should be like. Shouldn't they be weak and limp from being almost completely submerged in water?
However, Kyle didn't bother to explain further, only giving Aokiji a look he couldn't understand.
The claim that being stronger than Aokiji makes one immune to the side effects of Devil Fruits is, of course, false. The side effects of Devil Fruits cannot be completely ignored; one can only say that the impact can be reduced as much as possible.
For example, with Kyle's current demigod-level strength, will the side effects of the Devil Fruit affect him?
That will definitely happen, but the impact will be very small, and it will hardly have a significant effect on strength.
The fact that he wouldn't be affected is because, as mentioned at the beginning, his Rumble-Rumble Fruit in the Purple Lightning form is a version without side effects, so naturally he wouldn't be affected.
Otherwise, Kyle wasn't sure if he would still be affected by this side effect once he reached god-level strength; at least for demigods, it certainly would.
Besides Kyle and Aokiji, the remaining person was naturally Garp.
Only the three of them would have so much free time and leisure to soak in a hot spring.
"Brubrubru~ Brubrubru~"
Suddenly, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) came through, causing all three of them to look in a certain direction.
A Den Den Mushi (snail phone) was constantly ringing on the table where they had placed their things not far away.
"Um?!"
Kyle raised an eyebrow slightly, then raised his hand and aimed at the Den Den Mushi not far away, making a grasping motion with his five fingers, and several thin purple arcs of lightning appeared in the void.
Then Kyle actually "absorbed" the Den Den Mushi.
Kyle answered the Den Den Mushi as soon as he received the call, and Sengoku's voice came through the receiver the instant he answered.
"Kyle, something's happened!!"
The tone of the Warring States period was not very varied, but the solemnity in it was clearly audible.
Kyle's eyes narrowed instantly, and Aokiji and Garp beside him also became serious.
Based on their understanding of the Warring States period, they knew that if the other party spoke in such a serious tone, something serious must have happened.
Kyle didn't hesitate and asked directly:
"What happened?"
Although Sengoku's tone was solemn, Kyle's tone did not change much.
Strength brings confidence!
With his current strength, there's really nothing that he can be afraid of.
Without further ado, Sengoku also spoke immediately:
"Just now, three Celestial Dragons died in the Sabaody Archipelago..."
At this point, Sengoku paused for a moment, then continued:
"The situation is a bit complicated and hard to be sure of, but what's certain is that it's closely related to Ace, Sabo, and Luffy!"
"What?!"
Before Kyle could speak, Garp, who was standing next to Sengoku, jumped up immediately upon hearing Sengoku's words, splashing water high into the air.
He asked the Warring States period impatiently:
"What did those three brats do? Why are they involved in the Celestial Dragons' deaths?"
Garp's brows were furrowed tightly at this moment.
Although he constantly calls the Celestial Dragons trash, he also knows that these trash do indeed hold a high status.
Even if someone is beaten or injured, let alone die, it will cause a huge sensation.
So now that he's heard that the deaths of three Celestial Dragons are likely related to Luffy and his two companions, even he's starting to feel uneasy.
At this moment, the only one on the court whose expression remained completely unchanged was Kyle.
Three Celestial Dragons died?
Oh, he knows!
And then what? So what?
So what if he's dead?
As for its connection to Luffy and his two companions?
There's no problem then. The three of them were just on a mission to capture pirates, and they just happened to get involved in the death of a Celestial Dragon, didn't they?
