Chapter 458 You're courting death!
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?!"
Seeing the large amount of poisonous gas pouring in through the breach, the navy men's expressions changed instantly.
That bastard Caesar actually abandoned the research institute just to kill them?
"Quick, everyone run!"
The naval lieutenant commander roared, "Get into Building B first!"
Although I don't know what happened, I absolutely can't stay here!
"These people are really ruthless."
Sanji, who was staring into the distance, exhaled a smoke ring, then turned to Merry, whose face also looked grim, and said, "Merry, could you block the cave entrance with your wind?"
"Maybe, but now is not the time to do that."
"What do you mean?"
Sanji paused for a moment, clearly not understanding what Merry meant.
Why isn't now the time to do this?
"I overheard Nami and the others talking through the wind," Mary explained. "The gate ahead is closing, and if we don't hurry, we'll be trapped here."
Upon hearing this, Sanji's expression changed.
The wall being breached allows Mary to try using the wind to blow the poison gas out, but being trapped outside won't work.
After all... he's not a green algae-headed guy; he can't just chop the door open!
Thinking of this, Sanji rushed towards Merry without hesitation, saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"I know," Mary said.
As she spoke, the power of the wind surged around Mary.
Then, this force lifted Sanji into the air, and he flew rapidly forward.
Meanwhile... as they passed by those navy personnel, they also swept up those idiots.
"?"
"!!"
The navy personnel were all stunned as they watched their bodies take flight.
Why are they flying in the sky?
"You bunch of stupid Marines, don't resist!" Sanji, understanding what Merry wanted to do, immediately shouted, "Let Merry carry you!"
"We need to get into Building B as fast as we can, or we'll all die!"
"profound!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, Blackfoot, Miss Meryl!"
Although they didn't know why these two people were willing to help them, they had no other choice but to trust them.
After all... they couldn't resist Meryl's power.
Soon, under Melly's control, the navy personnel successfully entered the corridor before the gate closed.
Seeing this, Nami breathed a sigh of relief and then used all her strength to control the cloud to leave the place.
Sanji frowned as he stared at the closing door and said, "They're not even going to keep the research lab...?"
That's ruthless!
That bastard really showed no mercy.
"What do we do now?" asked the navy officer standing nearby.
"Is that even a question?"
"6
Floating in mid-air, Mary put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course, I'm going to Building B to do what I need to do!"
Although the gate will take a while to close, the toxic gas won't be able to get in before it closes, so there's no need to worry about safety.
Just then, a wild beast's roar came from inside Building A, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Where did that roar come from?"
"Hey, look! A dragon is flying over from afar!"
"dragon?!"
Everyone was stunned to see the little green dragon rushing towards them from Building A.
Why is there a dragon here?
Meanwhile, Meili stared intently at the dragon flying towards them in the distance, her expression grave. Was this the same dragon they had encountered before?
"I remember this dragon couldn't fly before," Sanji said, frowning.
Mei recalled the scene after they encountered Xiyan and said, "I definitely didn't see it fly."
At that time, that guy held onto the wooden dragon's body tightly and didn't fly away.
"roar!!"
"Hey, it's coming!"
As the dragon drew ever closer, the marines instinctively raised their weapons.
They will not surrender easily if the other side launches an attack.
As if sensing the hostility of the navy, the dragon's gaze instantly locked onto them.
Then, it mercilessly spewed out flames from its mouth!
"Whoosh~"
"boom!"
"ah!!
'
The sailors struck by the flames immediately let out a piercing scream, and then began to roll on the ground.
Seeing this, Meili raised her hand and used the power of the wind to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Then she looked up at the little dragon that was pouncing down and said, "Again?"
"This time I won't let you succeed!"
After saying that, Meili activated her ability without hesitation.
"Buzz~"
The next moment, a terrifying gust of wind flew out from Melly's hand and struck the dragon precisely.
"bump!"
The immense force acted upon the dragon, contorting its expression and sending it hurtling uncontrollably towards the wall, smashing a huge dent into it!
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
"Alright, now..."
""
Before Melly could finish speaking, she noticed that the dragon she had knocked away had stood up again.
"roar!!"
"What?"
Meili was completely stunned when she saw the dragon shake its head and stand up.
Is this guy's defense that terrifying?
"After all, this guy is a dragon too."
Watching the dragon bite through the steel around him, a look of emotion appeared in Sanji's eyes. This creature was truly more powerful than they had imagined.
Sanji then decided to go and fight that guy himself.
However, before he could make a move, the dragon in the distance seemed to sense something, and its expression changed slightly.
Then, without hesitation, it flew away into the distance.
"roar!"
"?"
Did it escape?
Mary was stunned when she saw the dragon fly away without hesitation.
Why did they run away?
Is it because he's afraid of Sanji?
"I don't know."
Sanji shook his head and said, "But now that it has escaped, there's no need for us to stay here any longer."
After saying that, Sanji looked back at the area behind him.
At this point, only a small gap remained in the door, and the poisonous gas was still some distance away, so there was no need to worry about it.
Okay, we can go now.
"Merry, we..."
'
Before Sanji could finish speaking, they heard exclamations from the Marines ahead.
"profound!"
"It's Lieutenant General Vergo!"
"Great! We've finally found our savior!"
"Hahaha, with Lieutenant General Vergo on board, we're sure to catch that bastard Caesar!"
"profound!!"
Hearing the sounds ahead, Sanji subconsciously frowned, then moved to shield Merry behind him.
He wasn't sure if the vice admiral would give orders to attack the Straw Hat crew, so he had to be prepared.
Merry understood what Sanji meant, so she didn't say anything.
If the other party really attacks them, she won't hold back.
"The Straw Hat Pirates..."

Vergo glanced at Sanji and Merry standing at the back of the crowd before looking away.
They're just two small fry, easy to kill, so there's no need to worry about them.
The most urgent task is to wipe out all these naval forces.
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Vergo's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses.
Just then, a navy officer approached Vergo and said, "Vice Admiral Vergo, we have important information to report!"
Upon hearing this, Vergo calmly glanced at him, then nodded, signaling him to reveal the information.
"We discovered that this island is the territory of that evil scientist Caesar," the Navy said. "And he has also abducted a large number of children, so I..."
'
"puff!"
Before he could finish speaking, Vergo's finger gun pierced his body, forcing him to swallow his words.
"Lieutenant General Vergo?!"
Everyone else was stunned to see Vergo kill one of their own men with a single move.
Why would their own lieutenant general attack them?
"Hey, Vice Admiral Vergo, what are you doing?!" a nearby navy officer exclaimed excitedly. "Even corporal punishment shouldn't be done with a finger gun!"
"You will kill him!"
The lieutenant general's finger gun can easily penetrate steel; how could they possibly withstand it!
However, Vergo made no response to the navy's questioning and continued to attack the navy officers nearby.
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Almost every time he makes a move, he can take down a navy officer!
"Hey, Lieutenant General Vergo, what the hell are you doing?!"
Why would their naval vice admiral attack them?
Could it be... that what those pirates said before was all true?
For a time, an atmosphere of despair permeated the navy.
"You idiots!" Mary shouted. "Didn't my partner just say that this guy named Vergo is a traitor to your navy!"
"impossible!"
Someone in the navy immediately retorted, "How could our Vice Admiral Vergo be a traitor?"
"That's right!"
"Miss Mary, please don't say such things, or even we would be angry!"
When she saw those stubborn faces, Mei Li was stunned.
Why are these people so stubborn?
The facts are right in front of us...
Sanji, having clearly understood something, said, "There's no need to say such things anymore, Merry."
Why?
"Because they won't believe it."
After lighting another cigarette, Sanji said, "Put yourself in Luffy's shoes, would you believe he betrayed us?"
"No!" Mary said without hesitation.
No matter what happens, she will never believe that Luffy betrayed them.
Then, as if she understood something, Melly said, "In other words..."
'
"Yes."
Staring at Vergo, who was launching an attack on the Navy in the distance, Sanji said, "Nobody wants to believe that someone they've been with day and night would turn out to be a traitor!"
After saying that, Sanji planned to stop Vergo, who was in the distance.
He couldn't stand guys who bullied the weak!
But before he could make a move, Melly launched her attack first.
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
A powerful gust of wind slammed into Vergo, sending him flying into the air and crashing into the wall.
"Um?
Vergo got up from the ground and looked around in confusion, clearly not understanding what had just happened.
But after he saw what Meryl looked like, he said, "Did you do this?"
Devil Fruit users...
He was surprised that this little thing was so powerful that it could actually send him flying.
"That's right, I did it!" Mary snorted. "I can't stand what you did!"
"Little girl, are you looking for death?"
"So what, I..."
""
Before Melly could finish speaking, she discovered that Vergo had vanished from his spot in an instant.
Mary: ? ? ?
What about people?
The next moment...
"bump!"
"?!"
When Merry saw Vergo suddenly appear in front of her and exchange a blow with Sanji, she was completely stunned.
How can this person be so fast?
"You bastard..."
'
Sanji stared intently at Vergo and said, "What do you plan to do to our Merry?"
"Of course, we should kill her."
Vergo said expressionlessly, "You Straw Hat Pirates will die too!"
Killing the Marines and Law from the G5 branch was indeed what he wanted to do, but... he also wouldn't allow the Straw Hat Pirates to leave here alive!
So let's just kill them while we're at it!
"You're asking for it!"
Sanji was furious. This bastard actually planned to kill Merry?
He couldn't tolerate this!
With that in mind, Sanji pushed Vergo back without hesitation.
Then, they quickly moved forward and engaged in close combat.
The surrounding navy personnel were stunned and stood there, unsure of what to do.
"Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do?"
The naval lieutenant commander, who had been standing frozen in place, snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, then gritted his teeth and said, "Support Black Leg Sanji! Take down this imposter!"
"A counterfeit?"
"Yes!" The naval lieutenant commander, tears streaming down his face, roared angrily, "How could our Vice Admiral Vergo possibly attack us?"
"So this guy is definitely an imposter!"
"The lieutenant colonel is right, this bastard is definitely an imposter!"
"Kill him!"
"profound!"
Seeing the crying and howling navy soldiers, Merry was momentarily stunned.
Even now, they still don't want to believe that this guy is a traitor.
But when she thought of what Sanji had said before, she fell silent.
Yes, no one can accept that someone they've been with day and night has become a traitor.
So it's normal for them to react this way.
After letting out a silent sigh, Melly turned her gaze to Vergo, intending to find an opportunity to give this guy a good beating!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Inside a room at the research institute, Caesar was watching footage of the area where Vergo was located.
"What is that bastard Vergo doing?!"
Caesar roared, "The G5 branch's navy is crucial experimental material for me; killing them without the 'Death Kingdom' would be pointless!"
Does that bastard even understand what he's doing?
Upon hearing this, Monet instinctively wanted to say something, but after seeing Caesar's expression, he wisely shut his mouth.
At times like these, being too talkative is not a wise move.
"Monet!"
"exist!"
"Close all the passageways where the G5 navy is located!" Caesar ordered. "Then release the poison gas through the back door and wipe them all out!"
"But... Vergo is still there."
If poison gas is put in, Vergo will be killed as well.
She didn't want to see her family members die there like that.
"Who cares about that idiot's life!" Caesar roared. "Enough talk, get to work!"
He wouldn't show any mercy to this bastard who dared to interrupt his experiments!
Monet paused for a moment after hearing this, then sighed and said, "Yes, I understand."
""
Hopefully, Vergo will realize the problem in time and escape quickly.
