Su xiao ignored the shouts from behind him. He knew that the Straw Hats arrived and were going straight toward the tower of Justice, which was the headquarters of the CP9.
Su Xiao looked at the special bullets he had in his inventory along with the Spider Queen and smiled.
Vegapunk was a genius. To only take a day to make special bullets for Spider Queen, heâs reputation is well deserved.
This wasnât for free, as Su Xiao made a dozen or so bombs for him. These alchemy bombs were made using Vegapunkâs own materials, and they belonged to him as well.
Su Xiao moved faster and faster as he reached the drawbridge moving toward the island of Justice.
Hina followed behind Su Xiao suspiciously. She could tell that something was wrong because just as Su Xiao reached the island, a group of pirates arrived.
âMr. Byakuya, we will take refuge on this island, for the time being, we canât move forward anymore.â
Hina stopped in her place as if she was asking for his permission, but she obviously wasnât.
The main island may seem safe, but if the battle spread, it wonât be spared, and chaos will be all over the island.
âOkay, we will rest here first.â
Su Xiaoâs cooperation made Hina very satisfied.
They directly rushed toward the courthouse.
Inside the courthouse, bodies were scattered all over the place as the place no longer was under the CP control. Several bodies were filled with gunshot wounds, while a man who seemed like a cowboy stood in the middle observing the situation.
In the Cowboyâs opinion, this place wasnât a courthouse of justice. Instead, it was just a courthouse to convict the innocent and do the world governmentâs bidding.
When Su Xiao saw the cowboy, he smiled and said.
âItâs still early, but it isnât a bad idea to fight here due to the terrain advantages.â
The cowboy thought that Su Xiao would enter the court, but he saw the latter stop suddenly.
Su Xiao stood in the same place with a painful expression on his face.
âMr. Byakuya, whatâs wrong with you?â
Hina looked at Su Xiao strangely. She was extremely vigilant as she was ready to use her fruit ability immediately.
Burgh!
Su Xiao vomited blood mixed with something blue.
âThe poison capsule⌠Broke!â
Su Xiaoâs face turned gray, and his pupil lost its luster.
âImpossible, I already gave you the suppressing antidote.â
Hina was shocked, but she was still vigilant.
âI took it this morning, but why did the poison capsule break?â
Su Xiao sat on the ground bleeding from his mouth.
âYou ate this morning? Itâs impossible! Wait, how many did you eat?â
âTwo.â
Hinaâs face changed drastically.
âDidnât I say you can only eat one?â
âShould the effect of two⌠be stronger, what if the poison capsule broke because of my exercises.â
Su Xiaoâs answer made Hina roll her eyes. That suppressing antidote could only be taken one at a time. She didnât know the effect of getting more.
âHurry up, letâs go to the courthouse, there is a doctor there, the sac shouldnât be completely ripped yet.â
Hinaâs heart already turned cold, because if the poison capsule is ripped, then Su Xiao is almost bound to die. Such an important researcher canât die, not while under her watch, or else she wonât be able to escape the responsibility.
âI donât think itâs too toxic. I still have a chance to be saved.â
Hina directly took his hand and put his arm on her shoulder and started walking toward the courthouse.
Hina was effortlessly helping Su Xiao move while the latter had his hand on her shoulder.
This was a great opportunity.
After a few steps, She suddenly felt something wrong. Su Xiao seemed strong, not like someone who was poisoned.
Su Xiao turned violent out of the blue. His hand that rested on Hinaâs shoulder directly strangely her.
âYouâŚâ
Su Xiao tried his best to strangle Hina, while Hina injured his ribs with her elbow.
Su Xiaoâs arms didnât relax until he felt Hina grow soft in his hands.
She was unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Su Xiao had to deal with his little tail, or else every action he made would be monitored.
Su Xiaoâs blood was real, but the poison wasnât, or else he wouldnât be standing right now.
As he looked up, Su Xiao saw someone watching him.
âWant to fight?â
The cowboy said without any hatred or resentment. The two fought fair last time, and he wasnât as good as Su Xiao.
âItâs too early. You want to be attacked so others can get your scarlet card?â
âOf course, I donât want that. See you at the tower of justice, and by the way, I should remind you that the contractors in the first island were already dealt with, the contractors on this island are well hidden. I will clear them in a while, while no contractor had reached the island of justice yet.â
âIs it now?â
Su Xiao carried Hina on his shoulder without looking back at the cowboy.
On his way, the Marine stopped him, but once he showed his scientific researcher identity, they let him go.
Su Xiao was now a member of the Marine and had no relation to the CP anymore. So he successfully left the second island and arrived at the third without any struggle. The only building on this island was the tower of justice.
As soon as he walked through the main entrance, a large group of black-clothed people and marines surrounded him.
âWho are you?â
âBe careful. He is carrying Captain Hina on his shoulder.â
âPut Captain Hina down and get on the ground.â
Su Xiao was calm.
âIâm Byakuya, a scientific researcher, I come here today to find someone, this is my certificate.â
After seeing the certificate, the people relaxed.
âWhatâs wrong with Captain Hina?â
âWe were attacked by pirates as soon as we reached the island, Captain Hina fought them to protect me, but she lost consciousness right after.â
Su Xiao handed Hina to the Marines. He considered whether he should kill Hina or not, but if he did, the world government wouldnât let him off.
At that time, he wonât be able to use the blueprint for a bargain as it is a quest item.
Hina wonât be awake for the next four hours, which was enough.
After confirming Su Xiaoâs identity, the agents directly led Su Xiao into the tower of Justice. He came here to find Kalifa in name only, and if she knew, she would faint.
Running quickly up the stairs, Su Xiao rushed toward the highest point in the tower of justice.
In less than a minute, Su Xiao found an iron door in front of him.
He didnât want to damage the door, so he spent some time opening it before reaching the highest point on the entire island.
The roof wasnât large. It was only a few square meters.
Locking the door, Su Xiao put a blanket under him before laying on the ground.
Bob was intelligent enough to know that he canât be discovered now.
Su Xiao took out Spider Queen and looked around. The scope was very good that no one could escape his sight.
The gun was ready, and he was waiting for a lucky contractor who will be the first victim.
There were still 36 minutes until the decisive battle starts, and the location of the blueprint of pluton would be announced.
The quest would end in 2 hours and 36 minutes, which means he needed to keep the blueprint for two hours.
Su Xiao knew that after 36 minutes, a large number of contractors would swarm toward his location and fall victim to his sniper.
