The one who threw Kuto to the ground was undoubtedly Tashigi, whom Vivian had just called Den Den Mushi to ask her to look for.
Just now, Tashigi accidentally saw Kuto in the crowd. Seeing that this guy actually drew out his blade and wanted to attack the Celestial Dragons, she rushed out in desperation.
The burst of speed allowed Couto to dodge Rozward's Holy Spear, but he also cut his palm with Couto's long knife and wiped all the blood on Couto's chest.
He thought he could get away with it by doing this and create the illusion that Cotto had been shot dead, but who knew...
"Bring her here to me." Saint Rozward pointed at Dashiqi and said.
Nerves immediately became tense.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Tashigi's forehead, and Cotto, who was lying on the ground, put his hand on the hilt of the knife again, ready to attack at any time.
"Hey, that woman, didn't you hear me? Come here!"
The black-clad bodyguard stepped forward and yelled at Dashigi.
After saying this, Dashigi slowly stood up.
The blade in Cotto's hand was also mostly pulled out of the scabbard, his aura locked onto the black-clothed man and the Celestial Dragon, ready to strike.
And at this critical moment.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out suddenly, breaking the stalemate.
"ah!"
Saint Rozward screamed immediately.
The bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a bright streak of blood on his skin.
"Protect Saint Rozward!!"
The black-clad bodyguard shouted loudly, and the next second, more than a dozen bodyguards immediately stood in front of Saint Rozwald and Palace Xialulia.
"What's going on?"
"Someone actually dared to shoot a Celestial Dragon?!"
All the people present showed expressions of great surprise.
At the same time, Luffy, Brook, Chopper and others who were kneeling on the ground all cast their eyes in the direction where the bullet was shot. Their eyes widened for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"It's Logget Larven!! The sharpshooter with a bounty of 140 million Baileys!" someone shouted.
The next moment, Saint Rozward and Palace Xialulia were both frightened and curled up, tightly grabbing the clothes of the bodyguards standing in front of them.
"What's going on? Why would that guy appear in such a place!!" Saint Rozward shouted loudly.
Although he had not experienced it personally, he had heard about the attack on Saint Charmaco of his clan in the Calm Sea. The guy who dared to attack the ship of the Celestial Dragons at night, rescued a large number of slaves, and seriously injured Saint Charmaco, actually came to the Sabaody Archipelago
Plus the previous shooting...
"He must be here to kill us!"
Although there have been desperate criminals who wanted to assassinate the Celestial Dragons in the past, this is the first time that a pirate like this, who is famous for his superb marksmanship, has appeared.
He also heard that this guy named Logt Larven could easily shoot someone in the head from a distance of hundreds of meters.
Seeing a desperate pirate like this who was not afraid of the Celestial Dragons and had such superb marksmanship, Saint Charlos was truly terrified to the extreme at this moment.
"Why haven't those damn navy caught that guy yet!"
"Several months have passed, what a bunch of good-for-nothings! Hurry, call the telephone bugs to get all the troops stationed near the Sabaody Archipelago!" Saint Rozward roared hysterically.
The other side.
Seeing this, Tashigi and Cotto quickly stood up, took the opportunity to blend into the scattered crowd, and disappeared without a sound.
...
Larven felt that he was extremely unlucky.
Really, he had never encountered anything as outrageous as this.
He came from the West Sea and had loved hunting in the mountains since he was a child, which was why he had developed extremely accurate marksmanship.
After that, he made a name for himself on the sea, his bounty reached 40 million berries, and he gathered a group of younger brothers who admired him. After going through untold hardships, Larven finally arrived at the Grand Line and began his new adventure.
But there are unexpected changes in the world.
Larven, who had just entered the Grand Line less than two months ago, found himself framed!
Yes, three months ago, reports suddenly appeared in the newspapers that he had attacked a Celestial Dragon ship at night and rescued a shipload of slaves.
You know, he was obviously drunk that day, and was nestling in the arms of his second wife, daydreaming.
As soon as he woke up, his crew told him that his bounty had increased from 40 million to 140 million.
140 million Baileys...
An increase of 100 million!
But he obviously didn't do anything!
Most pirates would be secretly delighted when their bounties increase, but Larven's situation is different right now.
He was framed for attacking the Celestial Dragons!
Last month alone, the navy that came to arrest him had more than ten warships!
Among them, several naval vice admirals participated in the roundup operation, which resulted in his first and third wives being arrested and imprisoned, and they have been separated from him ever since.
If he had not been an excellent swimmer, had a keen sense of smell, and had not had superb camouflage skills, he would probably have been imprisoned in Push City, eating prison food and being tortured.
It was also because of this that, after suffering so many disasters that should have belonged to his own headquarters, Larven finally figured something out.
It's already like this, why can't I just admit it
All kinds of resentment had taken deep root in his heart, so after hiding for nearly three months, Larven finally chose to pick up his weapon, came to the Sabaody Archipelago, and pulled the trigger at the Celestial Dragon from a distance of about 300 meters.
He wanted to let the world know, and also let the person who framed him know, that I, Larven, did dare to take action against the Celestial Dragons.
Moreover, we are in public, so we won't be as timid as that guy!
But unfortunately...
Because there were too many people blocking his view, and because he was too nervous, the bullet he fired just now did not successfully penetrate the Celestial Dragon's head as he had expected.
"But for the next few shots, I won't leave any room for maneuver..."
While muttering to himself, he aimed the gun at Saint Charlos' head again.
He seemed to have made up his mind to kill a celestial dragon at this moment so that the whole world would remember his name, Logt Larven.
At the same time.
Marinford.
"Hello, is this the Navy Headquarters? Saint Rozwald has been attacked and his life is currently in danger. The attacker is suspected to be a sharpshooter with a criminal record. Logt Larven, please send a general to support us immediately!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, a bodyguard's anxious voice came.
Sengoku, who answered the phone in the office, turned around in surprise and looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru who was sitting on the sofa.
The two looked at each other, and Sengoku immediately gave an order to his assistant: "Immediately find Kizaru and have him go to the Sabaody Archipelago to capture this guy named Logt Larven."
"Yes! Marshal."
