There is a long way to go.
Feeling the softness emanating from Figel, Xiaobai looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.
Alas?
Wait a minute.
Just then, Xiaobai, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly froze. She suddenly realized that the place she was in didn't seem to be the ruins area she had been in before.
The surrounding buildings are well-preserved, and there are several buildings along the waterway... This alone makes it completely different from the ruins that are full of broken walls and crumbling walls.
As far as I can remember... after Figel rescued me from the seabed, I flew through black smoke for quite a while before landing. Could it be... that I've already left the ruins area?
Little White blinked, searching for the direction of the black spire.
So where are we now?
"Boom boom boom"
Just at this time.
Suddenly, an extremely hostile aura came from the horizon, and in the distance, a large number of carrier-based aircraft rose up and flew towards Xiaobai's location.
The moment Xiaobai saw the carrier-based aircraft in the distance, he suddenly realized.
"Ah! Those are Savoy's carrier-based aircraft... So that means..."
Was I blown into Savoy territory?
Chapter 1995 Little White's Provocation
While Xiaobai was distracted, Savoy's carrier-based aircraft charged aggressively towards Xiaobai and Figel. In an instant, a large number of black carrier-based aircraft turned into black clouds, covering the sky.
Their fierce demeanor made it seem as if they were about to blast the area where Xiaobai was located, along with the people, to smithereens in the next second.
Seemingly sensing the murderous aura emanating from the Savoy's carrier-based aircraft, Figel raised her head and shifted her gaze to the fleet of carrier-based aircraft appearing on the horizon. After observing for a while, she silently raised her hand, and the crescent-shaped ship equipment behind her spewed out a large amount of black smoke. One after another, carrier-based aircraft emerged from the black smoke, buzzing and preparing to take off and intercept the Savoy's carrier-based aircraft.
"Hey! Figel, don't do it yet!" Little White quickly called out to Figel.
"...?" Figel's movements stopped as if a pause button had been pressed. She kept her hand raised, turned her head to look at Xiaobai, and a hint of doubt appeared in her orange-yellow eyes.
“Figel, thank you for your help, but… your identity is absolutely confidential right now. For the sake of my plans here, the other Deep Sea Deans can't see you until I need your strength.” Little White held up a finger to Figgel and gently shushed him. “If you fight someone now, everyone in the city will find out about you…”
"..." Figel blinked and silently lowered his hand.
"Don't worry about me. I'm not exactly an mortal enemy of those carrier-based aircraft operators... well, I wouldn't say we're mortal enemies. It's nothing serious." Little White smiled slightly at Figel. "Anyway, you should find a place to hide."
“…” Figel nodded.
Figel stowed away her carrier-based aircraft and equipment. She glanced back at Savoy's aircraft one last time, then walked to a nearby waterway. With a gurgle, her entire jet-black body sank cleanly into the water along with the black smoke, and soon her presence vanished without a trace.
It seems... Figel is quite good at disguising his aura.
Little White watched Figel sink into the water, thinking to himself.
at the same time.
The Savoy carrier-based aircraft, hurtling in from the horizon, arrived overhead in an instant, and a barrage of silver-white bombs covered the sky, raining down on the area where Xiaobai was located.
"Wow... Miss Savoy really doesn't hold back at all..." Xiaobai muttered to herself, staring at the rain of bombs in the sky. Then, she waved her hand gently, and the land-based ship equipment appeared behind her, tightly wrapping around her body.
A few seconds after Xiaobai's body was tightly protected by the land-based ship, the bombs in the sky finally reached the water.
Rumble rumble rumble —
The bombs that fell from the sky exploded.
The orange-yellow flames instantly ignited the water around Xiaobai, and the flames transformed into a giant beast that swallowed Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment whole. The aftershocks of the explosion were not satisfied and also affected the nearby buildings. The flames destroyed one building after another and blasted the collapsed building debris into the sky.
The water surface where Xiaobai was located instantly transformed into a raging sea of orange fire.
Amidst the bombing.
A white figure, a step too late, slowly approached from the distant sky.
Savoy sat on her Javelin rigging and floated to the edge of the sea of fire. She supported herself with one hand on the rigging, retrieving the carrier-based aircraft that were circling in the sky while scanning the raging fire in front of her.
"Ok?"
Just then, Savoy suddenly discovered a land-based ship rig being burned by the flames in the sea of fire. The land-based ship rig was ice blue all over, and its entire body was burning with blue flames. Its texture was like crystal that could be broken at the slightest touch. But strangely, this land-based ship rig, which looked extremely fragile, was completely unharmed despite being burned by the flames and bombed by the bombs.
“This ship equipment is…” Savoy murmured, looking at the ship equipment in the sea of fire, his brows furrowing slightly, “…So it really is her…”
Because he had suffered losses at the hands of this ship's equipment before, Savoy had a vivid memory of its appearance.
Savoy looked up at the sky.
Although the entire sea area of Chapter Eight is shrouded in black mist, the black mist above the ruined city at the very center of Chapter Eight is not very thick. Although it is still difficult for sunlight to penetrate, it is not difficult to discern the alternation of day and night from within it.
It was still afternoon, and the sun was teetering on its way down towards the sea; there was still some time before nightfall.
Savoy remained silent for a while. She circled in the sky for a few more times, waiting for the flames in the sea of fire to subside while searching for the presence of other Deep Sea Deans. After confirming that there was only one ship-equipped vessel in the entire sea of fire, Savoy slowly descended to the edge of the sea of fire.
The flames burned on the water's surface for a short time before quickly subsiding. The surrounding buildings were charred black, the black steel bars nearly melted, emitting an unusual red glow in their semi-liquid state. Thick, scorching hot steam rose from the water's surface, making the surrounding space appear distorted and whitish at first glance.
However... the ice-blue ship equipment that Savoy saw still stood perfectly intact in its original position.
"Hehehe..." Savoy walked across the scorching waterway to Xiaobai's ship equipment, chuckled twice at it, and then spoke to Xiaobai, "Miss Patina, you really have nowhere to go, huh? What? Did you come here today to settle the score for what happened before?"
"laugh--"
On the ice-blue land-based ship equipment, the blue flames trembled slightly, then emitted a ring of cold air, repelling the surrounding heat. Afterward, the land-based ship equipment opened its doors, revealing Xiaobai standing inside.
"Haha... Miss Savoy, it's been a day." Xiaobai stepped out of the land-based ship equipment and waved to Savoy with a smile.
"Hmph... You didn't bring your little servant today?" Savoy glanced behind Xiaobai and asked.
"Ah...you mean Super Yamato? Yeah, she's watching the house today." Shiro said to Savoy with a smile, "Miss Savoy is in such a bad mood today, she started bombarding me with questions right away."
"Hehehe... I'm not going to apologize." Savoy chuckled, crossing her arms and walking around Shiro's ship rigging. While observing Shiro's rigging, she said to Shiro, "Is Abyssal Zuikaku so irresponsible? It didn't even tell you something so important?"
"Huh? What?"
"Anyone who dares to enter my territory during the day, no matter who they are, even Frederick, I will fight them to the death... Such an important matter, and she didn't even tell you?" Savoy stopped and stared at Little White with a threatening look.
"Uh, well..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, seemingly unfazed by Savoy's threatening gaze.
"...Hehe." After staring at Little White for a while, Savoy's gaze wandered before he gently looked away. "Logically speaking, since you've stepped into my territory, I should engage you in a life-or-death struggle. But since you're unaware of this rule... considering the amusing things you did for me yesterday, I won't pursue this matter. Whatever you want from me, immediately put away your ship equipment and leave this place."
After Savoy finished speaking, he turned around and walked back the way he came without looking at Xiaobai again.
"Miss Savoy!"
However, at that moment, Little White's voice rang out from behind Savoy.
Savoy stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing slightly, but quickly smoothing out.
“...I’m not in the mood to chat with anyone during the day.” Savoy turned his head and spoke to Little White.
"Ah... um. I understand." Xiaobai nodded to Savoy and smiled slightly. "Miss Savoy really has a strange habit of being nocturnal."
"..." Savoy stared at Little White with a hint of hostility, and a strong aura of the deep sea began to surge around him.
Savoy now resembled a wild beast making threatening gestures towards its enemy before entering battle.
Little White put his hands together, interlaced his fingers, and stuck out his tongue at Savoy, who had a furious expression on his face.
“If you don’t leave, I’m really going to take action,” Savoy threatened.
"...It seems Miss Savoy really doesn't welcome me..." Xiaobai ignored Savoy's threat once again. She sighed and lowered her head. "Fine, since Miss Savoy doesn't want me to stay here, then I'll leave..."
Hearing that Xiaobai finally revealed her intention to leave, Savoy's angry expression subsided slightly. She turned her head, a look of relief flashing across her eyes.
"Sigh... That's strange." Xiaobai turned around as well, walking towards her ship equipment while muttering to herself in a low voice, "Hmm... Miss Savoy seems less distinctive today than she was yesterday... It's like she's been hoping I'd leave. Sigh... If it were Miss Savoy yesterday, she probably wouldn't have been so patient and would have attacked me without a word after I said my second sentence... Why is she being so tolerant of me today... Strange."
Xiao Bai paused slightly at this point.
She turned her head, glanced at Savoy discreetly, then smiled slightly and continued talking to herself.
"Could it be... because it's daytime?"
"...!"
Xiao Bai's pointed remark seemed to have touched a nerve.
Suddenly, a strong fighting spirit was released from Savoy, who was facing away from Xiaobai. Savoy turned his head, his eyes fixed on Xiaobai, and the aura of the deep sea surging around him.
"What...did you just say?" Savoy stared intently at Little White and asked in a low voice.
Chapter 1996 Are you scared?
Wow————
The deep-sea aura emanating from Savoy was so intense that it even affected the surface of the water beneath her, creating ripples that spread outwards in all directions.
"What...did you just say?" Savoy stared at Little White and asked in a low voice.
Savoy appeared somewhat agitated.
"I want to ask... Miss Savoy, are you hiding something from me?" Xiaobai smiled, ignoring the deep-sea aura emanating from Savoy, and even casually walked towards Savoy until she stopped in front of her. Then, with her hands behind her back, she asked, "After all, Miss Savoy today is a completely different person from yesterday... Yesterday's Miss Savoy wouldn't have done something so boring, right?"
“I’m in a bad mood today.” Savoy stared at Little White’s face and said, word by word, “I’m saying this for the last time: you… leave here.”
"No—I don't want to," Xiaobai said.
"..." Savoy frowned, staring intently at Little White's face, her clear and charming voice sounding somewhat low, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Of course I'm here to...get along well with you, Miss Savoy." Xiaobai smiled and said to Savoy, "Miss Savoy, I have a question for you."
"...What's the problem?"
"Why didn't you get angry or attack me even though I deliberately provoked you time and time again today?" Xiaobai asked Savoy.
"..." Savoy paused for a moment.
"Come down, come down." Little White beckoned to Savoy with his finger.
"..." Savoy was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and put his ear close to Little White's mouth.
Little White smiled slightly at Savoy, who was bending down.
Little White brought her lips closer to Savoy's ear.
Xiaobai took a deep breath.
"...Still hiding it? I know everything." Little White whispered into Savoy's ear, "It's about the little secret of why you wouldn't fight me today, Miss Savoy, and why you wanted me to leave..."
"...!"
boom----
A strong gust of air suddenly spread from Savoy's body, and Little White was blown away by the strong wind from Savoy. It tumbled several times in mid-air before landing on the water in the distance.
Little White looked up at Savoy.
Savoy was glaring at him, summoning her black javelin rigging. Dozens of carrier-based aircraft circled around her, spitting flames.
“Miss Savoy, I suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to. How about we say goodbye now and see each other again tomorrow?” Xiaobai looked up and asked Savoy with a smile.
"You...can't go out." Savoy gritted his teeth and waved fiercely at Xiaobai. The carrier-based aircraft around him rushed towards Xiaobai in droves.
"Ah... it really won't work..." Xiaobai quickly summoned the land-based ship equipment.
Rumble, rumble——
Savoy's carrier-based aircraft unleashed a frenzied bombardment of Xiaobai's land-based ship rig, and raging flames once again engulfed the sea. Xiaobai, inside the land-based rig, sensed the surging attack outside through the admiral's network while gently waving towards Savoy.
"Go, B25!"
The snow-white beast head on the land-based ship equipment opened its huge mouth and spat out carrier-based aircraft that were emitting blue flames. The carrier-based aircraft charged out despite Savoy's fire net and crashed straight into Savoy's body.
Savoy's carrier-based aircraft piloting skills were clearly superior to Xiaobai's. Xiaobai, relying solely on her own carrier-based autonomous B-25 bombers and the skills of a middle-aged or elderly pilot, was obviously no match for Savoy. Therefore, Xiaobai never considered that she could control these B-25 bombers to break through Savoy's firepower. She simply used these carrier-based aircraft as cannonballs, firing them straight at Savoy's body.
Obviously, doing this would prevent the B-25 bomber from launching its bombs.
Without bombs, a B-25 bomber is just a rock shaped like a carrier-based aircraft. Let alone Savoy, which was completely unharmed after being riddled with bullets by Whitebeard's secondary guns, it would probably have been a big problem to even break through the armor of an ordinary deep-sea battleship.
However, when Savoy noticed the B25 projectile attack thrown by Little White, she reacted in a completely different way than before.
Savoy immediately stopped what she was doing and retreated a considerable distance as if trying to avoid it, until the B-25 bomber that Little White had thrown landed on the water. Only then did she stop retreating.
"Huh? It's just a normal throwing attack, why did Miss Savoy dodge?" Little White, hiding in the ship's rigging, raised her hand, made a megaphone shape next to her mouth, and asked Savoy with a smile.
Savoy ignored Xiaobai this time, focusing all her attention on the battle before her as she kept her eyes fixed on Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment.
Savoy's mind was working at the speed of light.
There's still some time before nightfall and my invincible nighttime skill takes effect.
