Chapter 333 Escape from Death
"Alright, let's go. Helix!!"
"It's not a longhorn beetle, it's Helix... Hmm? You got it right?" Helix stared blankly at Roman, not expecting the other to react so quickly and appear in front of her, then throw him away with a single move.
Helix is a good guy; at least let him not die at Kaido's hands. It's best if that's not his fate.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's the ocean!!" But before Helix could finish speaking, Roman jumped into the azure sea.
What!!!
Watching Roman's movement arc, Kaido covered his eyes, utterly incredulous.
It's obvious that the Marine is a Devil Fruit user, and the sea is a forbidden zone for Devil Fruit users.
Aside from his subordinate Jack, who has fish-man blood and can go into the water, Kaido has never seen a Devil Fruit user dare to go into the water on their own.
Moreover, even having fish-man blood cannot offset the side effects of the fruit.
Jack would also become weak due to the effects of the fruit, and could only stay in the water, requiring his subordinates to rescue him.
Even he himself would not easily try to drown himself.
He had already tried it, and apart from pain, it couldn't bring about death at all.
So she is...
Roman knew very well that Devil Fruit users couldn't get wet.
However, the ability to use the Devil Fruit will not disappear when it comes into contact with seawater.
and so……
Soon, a huge shell appeared beside Roman, its color a brown like a potato, and it firmly enveloped Roman before successfully entering the water.
It then slowly sank.
This operation...
Kaido: (●—●)
I feel like I've been tricked.
In the azure sea, a group of beautiful mermaids suddenly appeared. They quickly caught the shell, along with a... longhorn beetle (Helex: It's the sea hero Helix!!).
Upon hearing the knocking sound from the outer shell, Roman responded with the same knocking sound.
The mermaids received a response and immediately fitted Helix with a glass dome, then together they dragged the outer shell away.
Helix originally wanted to put up a fight.
After seeing the mermaid's face and tail, he thought it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to take him away.
Roman knew he was safe.
Why are there mermaids here?
That's because they are mermaids belonging to a treasure-hunting team at sea, an expeditionary force under the navy.
Roman was also their instructor.
……
While Kaido was pursuing Gion.
Roman knew that it was the best time to escape, but that didn't mean she could succeed.
Kaido's Azure Dragon form allows him to fly, and if you're unlucky, it's entirely possible he'll catch you. To escape, you need to be certain you can get away.
Otherwise, they will still be captured by Kaido.
That would be worse than saving the garden yourself and adding a solution.
However, this calculation shows that the chances of being rescued are much smaller than the chances of escaping alone.
This is not worthwhile.
Therefore, if you want to help Gion and Kake, you need to make sure you are rescued as soon as possible.
For Kaido, who can fly, what places are off-limits to him?
The answer is actually quite obvious: the ocean.
But the key point is that I am also a person with abilities.
Jumping into the sea might allow me to escape Kaido, but it will cost me my life...
Wait a minute, open your mind.
Can't I use my own abilities?
Plants can produce and create.
To protect their fruits from being eaten by other animals, plants often evolve hard shells to protect themselves and to allow themselves to reproduce.
I can do that myself.
Therefore, the "shell" that Roman developed protected her in the water.
But floating in the water all the time isn't a solution either.
So what do we do in this situation?
Do you even need to think about it?
We need to find someone!!
The opponent is Kaido!!
So Roman dialed the treasure hunting team's number without hesitation.
They are often scattered in different places.
Moreover, they are the fastest in the ocean.
After receiving Roman's message, they quickly assembled, rushed over to meet Roman, and took her to a safe place.
Having confirmed that he would be met by the mermaids, Roman knew that his task was to stall for time.
Hiding might not be effective against Kaido, who possesses Observation Haki.
A direct, head-on attack seems better.
If Kaido's flesh and blood could be eaten by his plants, who knows what changes might occur?
But how can she ensure that Kaido won't kill her?
If Kaido were to harden his heart and insist on taking her life, there would be little she could do.
Although Kaido is someone who values talent, he is also a bloodthirsty person.
He might not be willing to show mercy to enemies, especially the navy.
While it's not impossible that Kaido might appreciate her strength and spare her life, giving her a chance to escape, the chances are not absolute.
If you're going to do it, you need to increase the likelihood of what you want to happen.
unless……
Suddenly, a crazy idea popped into Roman's mind.
If I present myself as someone with no way out in front of Kaido, would Kaido be more willing to take me in?
Because he would feel that he had no other choice but to obediently submit to his command.
What I need to do is kill Gion and Kake in front of Kaido.
