One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 699: The Fundamental Contradiction!

Chapter 699: The Fundamental Contradiction!

By this point, Jay [the first generation] had already abandoned his earlier idea.

Even with Ryuunosuke absent from the ship, it still seemed impossible for him to do anything.

The three divisions that had appeared so far were all abnormal monsters in their own right.

The First Division, Night Raid, and the Second Division, Phantom Troupe, had not even made a move yet.

And those two divisions had been the first to follow Ryuunosuke.

Just from that alone, it was easy to imagine how terrifying they were.

No matter what happened, he had to stay rational.

At the very least, he could not allow himself to lose control.

Otherwise, he might really die here.

So he could only wait.

There was still a chance.

"Mr. Jay, it seems you understand now why I warned you, don’t you?"

Vegapunk spoke slowly from the side.

He had been observing from the sidelines the entire time.

By watching the changes in Jay’s expression, it was not hard to analyze his current state of mind.

The shock he had suffered just now had already stripped away his control over his expression.

So for Vegapunk, reading him was not difficult.

"You mean you always knew they had divine artifacts and divine power?"

Jay [the first generation] asked suspiciously.

"I had no idea."

"But I do know one thing. If Mr. Jay made a move, he would die."

"And not just die. He would be wiped out completely."

Vegapunk answered slowly.

The reason Vegapunk had chosen honesty was, to a large extent, because he had been won over by Ryuunosuke’s personal charm.

But there was another reason as well.

The Dragon Hunter Pirates were simply too powerful.

Whether it was the captain or the crew, they were all terrifying.

Even the so called odd job squad leaders and ordinary crew members had once been Shichibukai, and now all possessed power at the level of Emperors.

Figures like Doflamingo, Enel, Chrollo, and Ulz...

All of them stood at the Emperor level.

The division members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates had already been capable of fighting Emperor level enemies before, and now their strength had increased even further.

As for the division captains, there was no need to say more.

From the very beginning, they had already been able to contend with Admirals and Emperors.

And during the earlier Aragami Project, Vegapunk had thoroughly investigated the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

That investigation had led him to discover a shocking secret.

The strength of this pirate crew could undergo massive leaps in a very short time.

And every time new members joined, the crew as a whole would experience a huge rise in strength.

So now, exactly how strong were the Dragon Hunter Pirates...?

"You mean I should be thanking you?"

"But then again, if it hadn’t been for your threat earlier, perhaps..."

Jay [the first generation] left the sentence unfinished.

Instead, he leaned against the rail and looked out at the battle unfolding ahead.

It had to be said that while the Dragon Hunter Pirates were terrifying, the Children of Adam were no weaklings either.

They were not being instantly slaughtered.

At this moment, no one yet knew how things were progressing on Ryuunosuke’s side.

Meanwhile, inside the AT Field.

"Mr. Adam, it seems you have no intention of engaging me directly?"

Ryuunosuke looked at Adam and asked calmly.

A fair amount of time had already passed, yet Adam still showed no sign of taking action.

That in itself suggested there was something he wanted to say.

This AT Field was like an isolated space of its own.

"Captain Ryuunosuke, are you really so eager to fight?"

"Actually, after coming here, I thought about some things."

"If not for the Seed of God, then I don’t think we should be enemies, right?"

Adam said directly.

"Perhaps."

"But we would never be friends."

"And I will not give up the Seed of God. It is something I must obtain..."

Ryuunosuke answered calmly.

"As expected... we still cannot come to an agreement..."

"To be honest, I had known about you from the very beginning."

"Especially after you went to the place where Eve was rooted and met that fellow from the first generation. From then on, I began paying attention to you."

"But after doing some investigation, I originally concluded that you were not a real threat."

"I simply never expected that you would grow into someone I needed to take seriously."

"Is Lilith really dead?"

After speaking to himself for a while, Adam suddenly changed the subject.

Even now, he still cared deeply about Lilith’s fate.

At least, until he heard it from Ryuunosuke’s own mouth, or saw Lilith’s corpse with his own eyes, he would not believe it.

"Lilith?"

"She isn’t dead."

After saying that, Ryuunosuke raised a hand.

The next moment, Lilith appeared inside the field.

The instant Adam saw Lilith, his guard rose at once.

One Ryuunosuke was already troublesome enough.

And now, judging from Lilith’s current state, it was highly likely that she had chosen to stand on Ryuunosuke’s side.

That meant he might have to face two enemies at once.

"I never expected you to ask that at a time like this."

"Adam, I really did underestimate you."

"But I still have to say this. If you intend to do that for that woman..."

"I will never allow it!"

Lilith said coldly.

The moment she finished, the atmosphere that had briefly seemed somewhat restrained instantly turned tense.

"That woman?"

"You mean... Eve?"

Adam lifted his head and asked in a low voice.

"Stop pretending."

"She is my woman. You have no right to talk about her like that."

"Adam, you truly are a narcissist."

"She is nothing more than a part of your own body..."

Before Lilith could finish, Adam’s aura exploded violently.

The Spear of Longinus in his hand also released divine power.

"Why..."

"As expected, there was never any possibility of reaching an agreement."

"Fine. Since there is a fundamental contradiction between us that neither side is willing to yield on..."

"Then let our strength decide everything."

As soon as Ryuunosuke finished speaking, his own aura surged upward as well.

A terrifying collision of pressure began at once.

"Hmm?"

"You bastard, you’re actually devouring my energy!?"

The moment their auras clashed, Adam discovered that his aura was being swallowed by Ryuunosuke’s.

If that continued, his strength might really be consumed dry.

And if he was suppressed before the battle had even properly begun, he would have almost no chance of turning things around.

"Pfft!"

At that exact moment, the Spear of Longinus pierced straight through Ryuunosuke’s body.

"This is..."

"Urgh!"

Ryuunosuke coughed up a mouthful of blood and could no longer continue speaking.

"Eve?!"

He turned around with difficulty and looked behind him.

A girl holding the Spear of Longinus had driven the weapon into his body.

The sensation was...

"Eve!"

"You..."

"You dare argue with my mother?"

Eve’s usual gentle and fragile demeanor had vanished completely as she coldly threw out that question.

The moment Eve asked that, Adam smiled.

Indeed.

What she had done just now... what was wrong with it?

"Pfft!"

The next instant, the Spear of Longinus in Adam’s hand also stabbed into Ryuunosuke’s body.

Lilith’s face changed the moment she saw it.

Because at that very moment, she saw Ryuunosuke smile.

That was right.

Even after suffering that kind of attack, Ryuunosuke showed no anger, no panic, no despair.

He was smiling.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

The moment Adam saw that smile, an uneasy feeling rose inside him.

"So I already told you."

"There is a fundamental contradiction between us."

"Why not just start fighting from the very beginning?"

"Using tricks like this only proves one thing."

"You’re not very confident in your own strength anymore, are you?"

Ryuunosuke raised his head and spoke with a smile.
