One Piece: The sky is azure, I just time-traveled today.

Just then, a guard staggered toward where they were hiding, seemingly to relieve himself.

The distance is getting closer.

Lilith instinctively shrank back, and her headscarf accidentally got caught on a nail in the corner and came loose.

A striking strand of golden hair was revealed.

The drunken guard's previously hazy eyes suddenly widened, staring intently at Lilith's face.

"It's...it's you?!" He seemed to sober up instantly, his voice sharp with shock. "That brat who stole the 'Drops of God'?!"

This exclamation was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

All the guards' eyes turned to look at them!

"Catch her!"

"It's Lilith!"

"The Drops of God are in her hands!"

The drunkenness was instantly dispelled by greed and duty. The guards drew their weapons and staggered but quickly surrounded them.

"Oh no!" Sabo pulled Lilith behind him.

Kuina's Purple Cloud sword was already half an inch unsheathed, its cold light gleaming.

Robin crossed her arms, ready to activate her power at any moment.

"Go and report to the High Priest!" a guard who seemed to be the leader shouted at his men.

Immediately, one person turned around and stumbled but ran quickly toward the temple on the mountaintop.

"We can't let him report this!" Sabo's eyes sharpened, and he was about to rush out to intercept him.

But more guards had surrounded them, blocking their way.

Although they were drunk, there were many of them, and they seemed to have been trained in some way, cooperating perfectly and blocking all escape routes.

"Hand over the 'Drops of God'!" The guard leader stared fanatically at the package in Lilith's arms. "Or you'll be killed on sight!"

Lilith's face was pale, but her eyes were stubborn, and she hugged the wine jug even tighter.

"It seems we have no choice but to force our way through." Kuina's voice was icy, and sword energy began to gather around her.

Robin whispered, "I'll create an opening, you guys take Lilith and rush in."

Sabo nodded, and Armament Haki quietly covered his arms.

"Come on over if you don't want to die!"

Chapter 126 Thanks for urging me to update

Sabo let out a low shout and shot out like lightning!

The fist, covered in Armament Haki, whistled through the air as it slammed directly into the two guards at the front.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two were sent flying backward, crashing into the wooden crate behind them, unable to get up again.

"Damn it, take care of them!" The guard captain, both shocked and furious, brandished his longsword and commanded, "No... forget about those outsiders! Capture Lilith first!"

Immediately, more guards bypassed Sabo and rushed towards Lilith, who was being protected by Robin.

at this time--

"One-Sword Style Secret Technique: Swallow Return!"

A cool, low murmur arose.

Kuina's figure transformed into a purple streak of light, instantly cutting into the enemy ranks.

The sword flashed like a swallow's tail, precise and elegant.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

The guards' weapons snapped off at the hilt!

They didn't even see how the sword was drawn; they only felt a numbness in their wrists before the weapon slipped from their hands.

Kuina stood holding her sword, her clothes fluttering, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Those who cross this line shall perish!"

Purple clouds lightly touched the ground, drawing a shallow ditch.

The guards were intimidated by her imposing presence and dared not approach for a moment.

“Now!” Robin whispered.

Several arms grew out of the ground, forming a temporary staircase that carried Lilith over the chaotic battle and straight towards the spring!

"Quickly...stop her!" The guard leader's eyes were bloodshot.

Several guards, unafraid of death, attempted to bypass Kuina's defenses, but were intercepted by Sabo's steel pipes that appeared out of nowhere.

"Your opponent is me!" Sabo laughed, wielding his steel pipe with ferocious speed, sending all the guards who tried to pursue him flying.

Lilith, escorted by Robin, finally reached the clear spring.

With trembling hands, she tore open the tattered cloth covering the wine pot, revealing its rustic body.

"Father...I did it..."

She murmured to herself as she forcefully pulled off the cork.

An indescribable, unique aroma of wine instantly filled the air!

The mere scent of the aroma caused the guards in the ensuing melee to slow their movements, their eyes filled with intoxication.

Even Sabo and Kuina felt a surge of energy.

Lilith lifted the wine jug with both hands, ready to pour the amber liquid inside into the spring—

"stop!!!"

A loud shout rang out like a thunderclap!

A burly figure descended from the sky and landed heavily beside the spring!

The newcomer was none other than the high priest of the temple!

His hair and beard stood on end, his eyes burned with fury, and he slammed his scepter to the ground as he glared at Lilith:

"You blasphemer! How dare you attempt to defile the sacred spring!"

The overwhelming aura pressed down on Lilith, freezing her in place.

Robin immediately crossed his arms: "Floral Spinner - Spider Web Wall!"

Countless arms grew out of the ground again, trying to grab the high priest.

"Little tricks!"

The high priest snorted coldly and slammed his scepter heavily on the ground once more!

This time, an invisible shockwave spread out!

All the arms vanished instantly!

Robin groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

“Sister Robin!” Lilith exclaimed.

The high priest approached step by step, his gaze fixed on the wine jug in her hand:

"Hand over the 'Drops of God,' and I might spare your life!"

More temple guards were rushing to his side.

Sabo and Kuina were temporarily entangled by more enemies and unable to escape.

Things took a turn for the worse!

Lilith looked at the high priest who was closing in, then glanced at her father's belongings in her arms, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.

Is it really going to all be for naught?

At this critical moment——

Liu Jiu, who had been standing quietly on the periphery of the battle as if detached from it, sighed softly.

He raised his hand and took off his tattered straw hat.

"Sabo, how long do you plan to keep playing?"

Liu Jiu's calm question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

But it stirred up a huge wave.

Sabo's expression, which had been that of someone still fighting, vanished instantly.

He straightened up and casually hoisted the steel pipe in his hand onto his shoulder.

"You've been seen through, Uncle."

He grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.

But that smile no longer held the belligerence of before; instead, it carried a chilling sharpness.

The high priest abruptly stopped in his tracks as he approached.

He turned to look at Sabo with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, then glanced at Liu Jiu, who remained calm.

An ominous premonition came over me.

"Playing tricks!" He forced himself to remain calm, waving his scepter. "Charge! Take them down!"

The guards exchanged glances, thinking, "They're just a few outsiders. The battle's almost over. Why are they making such a fuss?" They instinctively took a big gulp from their wine jugs, instantly regaining their energy, and swarmed forward again.

Sabo sighed.

"I was hoping to see Uncle make a move once in a while, but I guess I'll have to wait until next time!..."

His body trembled.
