Chapter 142: Judgment SquareChapter 142: Courthouse PlazaNot far away was the Courthouse Plaza, and along this path, the enemies grew in number.On the buildings on both sides, Marines could even be seen setting up mortars.If King Bull were hit by a mortar shell, even he would suffer heavy damage.Just then, a mortar shell shot towards Blueno.Luke was already prepared; he didn't want such a good mount to be incapacitated.He unleashed a Fire Fist, causing the shell to explode in mid-air."Watch out for the surrounding mortars! Don't let them attack King Bull!" Luke said."Understood, Lord Xiao!"With Luke's reminder, everyone began to focus their firepower on the Marine artillerymen on the surrounding buildings.The powerful suppressive fire destroyed one mortar after another, giving King Bull more room to maneuver.Finally, everyone arrived at the Courthouse Plaza.As long as they breached the Courthouse and lowered its drawbridge, they could reach the final Tower of Justice.At this moment, the Courthouse gate was tightly shut.Dozens of robust guards, holding iron chains and with the word "Guilty" carved on their left arms, appeared before everyone.These guys were the Guilty Jury, attacking with huge iron balls attached to chains, their power immense."You are guilty!"They shouted loudly."Guilty? I think you are the guilty ones!"Bippley swung the Three Thousand Power Rope in his hand, sweeping it horizontally at the Guilty Jury. In one encounter, he sent them all flying."Pathetic," Bippley said with a curl of his lip.The Marines holding firearms nearby retreated in disbelief. To take down a dozen Guilty Jury members in one blow—how could such powerful combatants ever be defeated?It must be said that with the Three Thousand Power Rope, Bippley's confidence soared. He swung the rope, creating an unrivaled whirlwind in the Courthouse Plaza."Can't let you hog all the glory," Vasco said, charging into the enemy with his Wind and Fire Twin Blades, wind and fire intertwining.A fiery serpent flew from the fire blade, piercing through a line of enemies."And me! Energy Cannon!"Dalmation, holding his battleship cannon, finished charging. He unleashed a cannon blast that blew the plaza sky-high.Coupled with the firepower of the Franky Family, everyone quickly captured the Courthouse Plaza.In front of them was the heavy Courthouse gate.Looking up, the Courthouse building was a hundred meters tall. Blueno's figure could vaguely be seen standing on the edge, occasionally making loud noises.At this moment, another wave of Marines was about to arrive.There were tens of thousands of Marine soldiers on Enies Lobby, and fighting a war of attrition with them was very disadvantageous.Therefore, breaking into the Courthouse as quickly as possible was the top priority."Speaking of which, such a big door, how can it be..."Before Zambai could finish his sentence, Zoromoved.A sharp sword light flashed across the stone gate, and with a loud bang, a huge trapezoidal hole was cut into the massive stone door."Why are you dawdling? We need to move quickly!" Zoro said, standing at the entrance.The Franky Family was amazed. To be able to cleave such a thick stone door – this was simply monstrous.The current battle plan was for the Franky Family to split into three groups. Two groups would go to the two sides of the Courthouse, responsible for pulling down the drawbridge control levers, while the main force would rush into the Courthouse to challenge even stronger enemies.Luke and Zoro stepped into the Courthouse together.In the center of the Courthouse stood a tall, three-headed man. This guy was the Chief Judge, Three-Headed Baskerville.Each head often argued with the others due to disagreements. In reality, it was three people wearing one suit, with the left calling himself Left Baskerville, the right calling himself Right Baskerville, and the middle one calling himself Central Expressway.At this moment, the Chief Judge was using a transponder snail to report the situation to his leader, Spandam."Tell me the situation there. I heard the pirates have already reached the plaza in front of the Courthouse!" Spandam's voice came through the transponder snail."The situation? Forget the plaza, they've already broken inside! It's the worst-case scenario!" the Chief Judge said."What!" Spandam was shocked for a whole year.Facing the Marine's obstruction inside the Courthouse, Luke unleashed a Fire Fist, blasting them all away.The Chief Judge took out his gavel and began to bang on the table."Silence, all of you! This is the Hall of Judgment! Now I will pass judgment on you rebellious scoundrels!" the middle head of the Chief Judge said.Luke was best suited to deal with such people."Avada Killing Snare!"Luke threw the Demon Binding Rope, pulling the majestic Chief Judge, who was sitting there, in front of him."What are you doing? I am Chief Judge!" the Chief Judge's three heads exclaimed in alarm."I'm going to let you experience a spinning flyer!"Luke swung the rope, making the Chief Judge spin continuously in the air.One turn, two turns, and after a hundred turns, the Chief Judge was seen vomiting non-stop, turning into a projectile warrior."Luke, stop! Your vomit is getting on me!" Sanji said, covering his mouth.Then Luke gave a mighty tug, flinging the Chief Judge out of the Courthouse, where he disappeared into the horizon.With the Chief Judge defeated, the remaining Marine small fry also scattered and fled."There are stairs on both sides; we can go up from there!" Nami said.Under Nami's command, everyone rushed into the interior of the Courthouse.Luke, being in the midst of this Enies Lobby battle and experiencing it firsthand, might not have felt much.But it must be understood that no one with common sense would ever attack this island. Regardless of whether they ended up dead or alive, this was something no one had accomplished in hundreds of years. This event would shake the world, and after this battle, the Straw Hat Crew would become world-famous.Thinking of this, Luke's mood gradually swelled.Yes, he had participated in the Enies Lobby battle, alongside Luffy and the others.Just as Luke was pondering, a shout pulled him back to his thoughts."Robin!~~~"Luffy's shout echoed throughout the entire Courthouse and reached the Tower of Justice.Luffy had already defeated Blueno. At this moment, Luffy stood atop the Courthouse, shouting Robin's name towards the Tower of Justice.After shouting, Luffy got hungry. He then pulled out his prepared combat bento from his pocket: two huge pieces of roasted meat of an unknown species."Good thing I brought these. Delicious, delicious."Luffy stood on the Courthouse roof, wolfing down the cooked meat, replenishing the stamina consumed from his previous battle and activation of Gear Second.Hearing Luffy's shout, the Straw Hat Crewquickened their pace.Luke was too lazy to climb the tower. He unleashed a Fire Fist directly towards the top of the tower, blasting a large hole through the roof.Then, like a Prince of Persia, Luke climbed and jumped, reaching the roof of the Courthouse and standing alongside Luffy.Opposite the Courthouse was the Tower of Justice.Standing on the Tower of Justice at this moment were all members of CP9, Spandam, and Robin.
Chapter 143 In the Name of PartnerChapter 143: In the Name of CompanionsLuke and Luffy stood together, neither of them showing any fear, calmly looking at the array of enemies standing on the Tower of Justice.Robin, standing on the Tower of Justice, actually said that she wanted to die and did not want to be saved by Luffy."You want to die?" Luffy asked, very confused."Yes," Robin replied firmly.Jabra, a CP9 member, stood on the edge of the eaves and said impatiently, "I say, Chief, let us go and finish them off in one go."Spandam said with a mocking tone, "No need, wait a moment. Have you ever seen such a dramatic plot where a Captain travels thousands of miles to save a companion, only to be rejected by that companion in the end?""Robin, what's this about wanting to die?" Luffyshouted.Spandam burst into maniacal laughter: "Listen, that sorrowful cry. What kind of pathetic expression will accompany it?"However, to Spandam's disappointment, Luffy's expression was one of calm bewilderment as he was currently picking his nose."What are you talking about, like an idiot?" Luffycomplained about Spandam while picking his nose.Spandam was shocked: "He... he's picking his nose!""I'm telling you, Robin, we're all here," Luffy said, his finger digging into his nostril, ignoring the idiotic Spandam.Then the roof cracked again, and Nami and Chopperflew up with a hurricane.They were both sent to the roof by Zoro's "Trouble Wind.""Ouch!" Chopper covered his head and stood up from the ground."Are you okay, Chopper?" Nami asked."I'm fine," Chopper replied.Immediately after, Zoro also climbed out of the hole."Zoro, what a mess you've made! Luckily, we only felt the aftershock. If we had been directly hit by your attack, we would have died, died!" Namiexclaimed.Zoro calmly asked, "Oh? What happened to you two?"At this moment, Sanji appeared.Sanji shouted, "Charge, Pork Pot Kick!"Sanji kicked through the roof and shot up from downstairs.Then Sanji rotated three times with his leg bent, landing gracefully.Sanji closed his eyes and struck a cool pose: "Without a doubt, I am the first to arrive. Robin-chan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm here to save you!"When Sanji opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Zoro's moss-head, indicating that he was not the first to arrive."Moss-head, why are you ahead of me?!" Sanjiexclaimed.Zoro sat there calmly and said, "Ah, you're so slow. Did you get lost?"Sanji almost laughed in anger, hearing "Did you get lost?" come out of Zoro's mouth."Where did you learn that line? Shouldn't it be you, the moss-head, who gets lost?"At this moment, Usopp also appeared.Usopp's arrival was quite unique, appearing heroically, flying from outside into the sky above the Courthouse.Two giants worked together to throw Usopp from the ground high into the sky above the Courthouse.His flying posture was very graceful, but his landing was very clumsy, landing headfirst and creating a large crater in the ground.This minor injury was nothing to Usopp. Luke once thought Usopp was an ordinary person, but after so many battles, Luke understood that Usopp was no ordinary person; he was a tanky ADC, an unkillable cockroach.Chopper used a lot of strength to pull Usopp out of the ground.Finally, the members of the Straw Hat Crew were all gathered here."Please, Robin, you can talk about wanting to live or die however you want, but please say such things when you are by our side."Hearing Luffy's words, Robin's heart was touched, and her body trembled slightly."Come back, Robin!" Luke calmly took a puff from his cigar."That's right, Robin-chan!" Sanji said."Robin, come back!" Chopper said.Robin's expression at this moment was very pained, with the joy of being cared for by her companions, but also the pain of worrying about them being harmed.For a very long time, she had been called the Child of the Devil, scorned and cursed, wandering between life and death, surviving by observing others and living under their roofs.Now, such a group of companions who would go through fire and water for her had appeared; how could her heart not be moved?Robin was speechless for a moment."Hey, Sniper King, can you stand up?" Zoro asked."O-of course."Usopp struggled to stand up from the ground.Then, the Straw Hat Crew members walked forward with serious expressions.Luffy stood in the middle of a pillar on the edge of the Courthouse roof, with everyone lined up beside him.Everyone stood tall and straight, not fearing any Marine or even the World Government.Luke and Sanji calmly smoked cigarettes, Usoppcrossed his arms, Nami leaned her Clima-Tact in front of her, Zoro held his sword in his right hand and put his left hand in his pocket, Chopper puffed out his chest, and Luffy exuded Haki.Seeing this scene, Robin finally couldn't hold back, and tears streamed down her face.Seeing Robin in this state, everyone also showed relieved smiles."Leave the rest to us!" Luffy shouted loudly.At this moment, CP9 on the opposite side also spoke.They were very confident in their strength."To be able to pass through the Aqua Laguna, it seems you're not bad," Kalifa said, adjusting her glasses.Jabra twisted his neck: "It's just luck."Kaku said, "No need to hold back. Finally, we can kill to our heart's content."Between the Courthouse and the Tower of Justicewas a bottomless, very wide chasm."Rob Lucci, it seems you ran away that day!" Lukesaid calmly."What!?"The members of CP9 looked at Lucci in surprise.Rob Lucci had never mentioned his defeat.Rob Lucci clenched his fists, silent, staring fiercely at Luke.He had indeed been defeated that night; he had been careless. Rob Lucci still refused to admit his failure; flames of revenge now burned in his eyes.At this moment, Spandam spoke: "Hey, CP9, I authorize you to kill without mercy! You must deal with them on Enies Lobby."For Spandam, his life and promotion were paramount. With such a huge situation on Enies Lobby, if he didn't apprehend the Straw Hat, his position would definitely be ruined.Spandam shouted loudly, "I will let you know that no matter how heroic you act, the outcome will not change! Look at the power of this assassin group, CP9! Look at the massive Gates of Justice that no human can open! Most importantly, the Golden Den Den Mushi in my hand has the authority to activate a Buster Call!"Hearing the words "Buster Call," Robin involuntarily trembled."That's right, it's the power that flattened your hometown 20 years ago. Nico Robin, starting the next year, the name Ohara disappeared from the map," Spandam said with a mocking tone.
Chapter 144 Tell Me You Want to LiveChapter 144: Quickly Say You Want to LiveSpandam repeatedly mentioned Robin's hometown, exposing her scars, his hateful face was unbearable.The Golden Den Den Mushi, capable of initiating a Buster Call, was currently in Spandam's hands. He swung it around, flaunting the immense power he possessed."As long as I press this button, the pirates' chances of escaping the island will be 0. How simple is that!" Spandam laughed loudly."It's not that simple!""Are you remembering something? How about I press this button and see what happens next?" Spandam revealed an evil smile."What are you doing? Stop it! If a Buster Call is initiated here, you will all be blown up along with Enies Lobby!" Robin shouted.Spandam had never witnessed the true destructive power of a Buster Call: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could our own people attack our own people? What are you saying?""Twenty years ago, it took everything from me, destroyed countless lives—a single Buster Callattack. And now, this destructive attack threatens the companions I've finally found, with whom I can open my heart. The more I want to be with you, the more you will be implicated by my fate.""No matter how long I sail the seas, there are always massive enemies I can't shake off, because my enemies are the world and the darkness of the world. Whether it was Aokiji back then, or this current situation, I've dragged you into trouble twice now. If this kind of thing keeps happening, no matter how good you all are, you'll come to see me as a burden. You'll definitely betray me and abandon me. That's what I fear most, so I don't want you to save me at all. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well just die here."Robin's desperate cry also let everyone know why she said she wanted to die there."Robin!" Chopper murmured."Sister Robin!" Sanji clenched his fists."Robin." Nami's eyes were filled with worry and concern."So that's how it is." Zoro's eyes were filled with murderous intent.At this moment, Spandam's donkey-like laughter rang out again: "I see. It's the absolute truth. She's right, no fool would willingly be implicated by her. Hahahaha, look at that flag, pirates! That symbol is the united emblem of over 170 allied nations from the four seas and the Grand Line. This is the world! Do you realize how insignificant you are for defying it? Do you know what kind of massive organization has been pursuing this woman for over 20 years?!"The World Government flag fluttered atop the Tower of Justice, representing terrifying global power."I finally understand who Robin's enemy is. Sniper King, shoot through that flag," Luffy said calmly."Understood!"Usopp, for once, didn't flinch or ask why.Usopp took out his newly crafted weapon, a giant slingshot named Kabuto.He pulled Kabuto to its full extent: "Sure-Kill: Fire Bird Star!"The flying firebird soared into the sky, heading towards the top of the Tower of Justice, engulfing the World Government flag.The flag was shot through, and flames continued to burn on it.The brilliant flames illuminated the sky above Enies Lobby, shocking everyone."Done!" Usopp took a deep breath.The Marines downstairs were all stunned."They actually did it!""Do these guys know what attacking that flag means?!""The pirates have declared war on the World Government!"Spandam also held his head, utterly shocked: "Are you all crazy? Being an enemy of the World Government is a dead end!"Luffy shouted furiously: "Exactly what I want!"His loud shout echoed through the courthouse and the sky above the Tower of Justice."Robin, I want to hear you say it yourself, say that you want to live!!!"Robin hadn't expected that her companions, for her sake, would choose to defy the World Government.Tears welled up in Robin's eyes. Live?How long had it been since someone told her to live?During Robin's days on the run, all she heard were phrases like 'You shouldn't exist in this world' and 'Your very existence is a sin.'No one was willing to allow her to live—this was the true reflection of Robin's life for many years.At this moment, the words of her giant friend Saul echoed in her mind: "The ocean is vast. One day, companions who can protect you will appear. In life, you will never be alone forever."Thinking of this, tears streamed down Robin's cheeks.If she could truly make a wish, she would choose..."I want to live! Take me with you to the sea!"Her tear-filled shout clearly reached everyone.That's more like it, the Straw Hat Crew smiled."You should have said that earlier, Robin." Luke blew a kiss towards Robin."Ah~~~"At this moment, someone at the Tower of Justicewas crying profusely—it was Franky.He was moved by their friendship, unable to control his emotions.Luffy squeezed his fists: "Here we go!"The Franky Family had successfully entered both sides of the courthouse and pulled down the drawbridge levers, connecting the courthouse to the Tower of Justice.However, just as the drawbridge was laid, a cannonball struck it, destroying it."Good, well done. Before they can cross, I'll enter the Gates of Justice. Guards, take Robin and Cutty Flam with you! Hmph, insignificant pirates. We have the assassination organization CP9. Robin, the survivor of the scholar's island that was destroyed for attempting to revive a weapon, and Cutty Flam, the man who inherited that weapon's blueprints. I won't let go of this excellent opportunity to seize great power! Hahahahahahaha!" Spandam said.However, at this moment, Franky made a shocking move.Franky pulled out the blueprints for the ancient weapon Pluton."Could it be, these are the blueprints for the ancient weapon Pluton!" Spandam's eyes nearly popped out."Authentic, do you believe it?"Franky quickly flipped through the Plutonblueprints.Kaku said, "I never thought you'd kept it hidden in your body all this time.""Is it true? Give it to me, quickly give it to me! These are the blueprints I've dreamed of!" Spandamswallowed, his hands trembling slightly.Franky calmly said, "Nico Robin, the rumors in this world are truly unreliable. Before coming to this wretched place, I knew that you weren't a demon who would use weapons for evil. Originally, what the Water 7 shipwrights passed down through generations wasn't a method for building any weapon.""Hey, Spandam, what Tom and Iceburg swore to protect was this: if one day an ancient weapon fell into the hands of a fool like you and was used by you, the designer's ultimate wish was to be able to build a weapon to counter it. Indeed, using Robincould awaken an ancient weapon. Even if she herself has no such intention, as long as there's a possibility of her being used, she's a dangerous woman.""But, she has a group of companions beside her who protect her regardless of their own lives. So I decided to take a gamble. In this situation, there's only one action that truly aligns with the designer's original intent.""Enough talk, give it to me!"Franky's eyes hardened. He picked up the Plutonblueprints, then opened his mouth, and flames gathered within.Fierce flames surged towards the Pluton blueprints.However, just as the flames were about to touch the blueprints, a gloved hand appeared.Luke, riding on his Somersault Cloud, appeared before Franky and took the Pluton blueprints from his hand."Phew, that was close, almost gone! Sorry, Franky, I'll take these blueprints. Der!" Luke winked at Franky."Bastard! Give me back the blueprints!" Frankyroared."The Pluton blueprints are mine, give them to me!" Spandam shouted."Ta-da! Sorry, the blueprints are gone!"Luke put the Pluton blueprints into his spatial ring, then held up his hands to show he had nothing."What a joke!" Franky and Spandam shouted simultaneously.
Chapter 145 Let Her Be My SecretaryChapter 145: Have Her Be My SecretaryWhile Franky and Spandam were verbally attacking Luke, Luke's gaze fell upon Kalifa, who was not far away.Long golden hair, black-rimmed glasses, a black miniskirt professional suit, and black fishnet stockings—she was incredibly sexy.Just Kalifa standing there instantly elevated the CP9's overall attractiveness; she was truly the zoo director.Kalifa felt Luke's gaze: "This is sexual harassment!""Would you be willing to be my secretary, Kalifa?" Luke suddenly asked.This astonishing question made everyone present freeze.Zoro frowned: "What is that guy Xiao up to!"Usopp said: "Such blatant poaching of a key enemy member; his audacity astounds even me."Sanji took a puff of his cigarette: "That young lady named Kalifa is amazing!"Sanji's eyes turned into hearts, and he began to dance in circles.Nami delivered a critical hit to Sanji: "Do you even realize what kind of situation this is?!"Spandam laughed out loud: "Kalifa is a member CP9 recruited since she was young; she would never betray CP9. I don't know what you guys are thinking, opposing the World Government and still trying to recruit a CP9 member. I feel ashamed for you all, foolish!"Luke raised an eyebrow: "You, with a Doriki of only 9, not even as good as an ordinary adult soldier, dare to spout such nonsense here?"Spandam retreated several steps in astonishment: "How do you know my Doriki is only 9? Who told you?""No one needed to tell me; a weakling like you is obvious at a glance," Luke said."Damn it!" Spandam exclaimed, clutching his head, shocked to be called a weakling.Fukurou, a member of CP9, said: "Chabapapapa, the weakling officer has been found out!""Shut up, Fukurou! What are you all standing around for? Get me back the Pluton blueprints!" Spandam shouted loudly.Luke came up behind the careless Spandam and tapped him on the head.Spandam turned around and saw Luke's charmingly evil smile right in front of him."Ah!" Spandam shrieked in fright and fell to the ground.At the same time, the Golden Den Den Mushi in Spandam's hand appeared in Luke's hand."Oh dear, I apologize, but I'll borrow your Den Den Mushi for a moment. You said this Golden Den Den Mushi can activate a Buster Call?"Luke asked, pressing his finger on the Golden Den Den Mushi's button.The CP9 members, who were about to act, immediately stopped.Once the Buster Call is activated, 10 warships, 5 Vice Admirals, and Marine elite forces will continuously attack, indiscriminately destroying the area from which the signal was sent.In other words, Enies Lobby would be destroyed."Wait, we can talk this over!" Spandam cowered.Enies Lobby was his territory; if it were destroyed, he would definitely be removed from the World Government and even imprisoned."It sounds like I'm the one who wants to fight. How about this, we make a deal: you let Kalifa leave CP9 and become my secretary, and I'll give you this Golden Den Den Mushi. Otherwise, I'm going to press it!"Hearing this, Spandam was momentarily speechless.The CP9 members also looked at their leader, Spandam, wondering what decision he would make."Don't listen to him! You're our leader, can't you be a little more resolute!" Jabra, a CP9 member, shouted.But it was clear that Spandam was not resolute; he was very hesitant, struggling internally.Compared to his own future, what was one CP9 member? He could always train another batch.Once the Buster Call was activated and Enies Lobbywas destroyed, he would become a disgrace in the history of Enies Lobby."Hey, no way!" Kaku looked at Spandam with a serious expression.Spandam said: "Well… that… I agree to let Kalifaleave CP9, as long as you give me the Golden Den Den Mushi!"All the CP9 members were shocked, and Kalifa was greatly confused, even a little angry.For one Den Den Mushi, he actually sold her out.Comparing this to the Straw Hat Pirates, who directly stormed Enies Lobby and became enemies with the World Government to save Robin, the contrast between the two sides was very clear."Then make an official statement, so everyone can hear it clearly," Luke said.Spandam cleared his throat: "Hereby, as the leader of CP9, I officially announce Kalifa's departure from CP9, due to poor work performance and inability to fulfill her duties!""Hahahahaha!" Luke laughed, clutching his stomach."Is that enough? Give me the Golden Den Den Mushi!" Spandam said."Not so fast, Kalifa, did you hear that?" Luke looked at Kalifa.Kalifa's expression was serious, and she said nothing, but her body was trembling. What Spandam had just said was like a bolt from the blue.Kalifa's father was a CP9 intelligence agent, but unlike her superior Spandam, who inherited his father's position, she naturally possessed talent and strength. Through diligent training in her youth, she joined CP9 based on her abilities.She diligently completed various tasks, working undercover for many years without complaint, and now she was being told she was passive in her work and unable to fulfill her duties."Spandam, explain yourself!"Kalifa took out her thorn whip and lashed out at a nearby stone, pulverizing it.Spandam, scared, hid behind Rob Lucci."I've already explained clearly, that's how it is. You were born to execute missions. Trading you for the safety of Enies Lobby is your honor!""What kind of honor is this?!"Kalifa swung her whip at Spandam.Rob Lucci caught Kalifa's long whip with one hand."Stop, Kalifa, he is our leader. As long as he is our superior, we must obey his orders," Rob Lucci said."Even you say that." Kalifa was too disappointed. She had trained and grown up in CP9 since childhood; she didn't know where else she could go after leaving CP9.Or, to put it another way, she could interpret it differently.She could pretend to be Luke's secretary, and when he threw the Den Den Mushi to Spandam, she would seize the opportunity to betray him and capture Luke.This was a common tactic in agent training, known as undercover work.Kaku gave Kalifa a look, and the meaning was clear: don't worry, once he hands over the Den Den Mushi, they would immediately attack Luke, and her departure was only temporary.Kalifa breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she had misunderstood.But actually, Spandam hadn't thought that far; he simply wanted to trade Kalifa for the Den Den Mushi.Kalifa walked step by step towards Luke, her posture inspiring countless thoughts, and Sanji-kun below could no longer contain himself.Kalifa came before Luke and adjusted her black-rimmed glasses."I'm here. Give the Golden Den Den Mushi to Spandam!" Kalifa said.
Chapter 146: Make a plan, but I will lose if I execute itChapter 146: Plans are easy to make, but execution is where I lose.Looking at Kalifa, who was within arm's reach, Luke's fingers slid along her cheek down to her waist.Kalifa couldn't help but let out a soft "Mmm.""Xiao, what the hell are you doing!" Sanji exclaimed from the top of the courthouse, biting his cigarette in half.Kalifa took a few steps back: "Our deal didn't include this part."Spandam loudly declared: "Are you trying to break the agreement?"Luke wagged his finger: "I won't break the agreement."With that, Luke took out a mind-control pill from his spatial ring.Among those present, only the Straw Hat Crewknew what this pill was."It's the mind-control pill, that guy Xiao..." Zoro was already shocked."He did say before that he wanted to recruit a secretary, but it had to be under Nami's supervision," Usopp said.Nami was stunned; she remembered what Luke had told her on the rocket man train.Luke had said: "Nami, as payment for appraising the Clima-Tact, I want Kalifa to be my secretary.""Kalifa!? Iceberg's secretary, a member of CP9?""Yes, she's our enemy, and she's a professional secretary. Not only do I need her help, but you do too. Sometimes when drawing navigation charts and such, she can help you with these chores. Please!"Seeing Luke's pitiful and almost crying expression, Nami agreed to his request.But after seeing Luke's lecherous smile today, Namiregretted it, regretted agreeing to Luke. Who knew what that guy Xiao would do after making Kalifatake the mind-control pill?Even if Kalifa was an enemy, Nami felt a little uneasy.Nami decided that she couldn't let Luke harm an innocent beauty, even if she was an enemy."Xiao, I don't—""Five hundred million Berries!" Luke spread his five fingers."I agree!" Nami cheered with her arms raised."Yay!"Luke and Sanji were overjoyed.Zoro slapped his forehead: "A hot-tempered woman whose eyes are clouded by money. I hope she doesn't regret her decision today.""How could I regret it? That's five hundred million Berries!" Nami's thoughts were already swimming in a sea of money.The members of CP9 had no idea what they were talking about."Take this pill," Luke said."What is this?" Kalifa asked."A pill to prevent your betrayal. Once you take it, the agreement will officially take effect, and I will immediately hand over the Golden Den Den Mushi to your superior," Luke said.A pill to prevent betrayal? In all their years, the CP9 members had never heard of such a medicine."I'm ill-informed, Chabababa!" Fukurou said."It couldn't be poison, could it!" Jabra's face was solemn.Waiper, nicknamed "Lion" of CP9, said: "Such a pill, it's best to be cautious. You absolutely must not take it."Luke glanced at Spandam: "I'm pressing it!""Eat it, quickly eat it, Kalifa! This is my order to you!" Spandam shouted."Chababababa, didn't you already dismiss her from CP9? How can you still order Kalifa?" Fukurou said.Spandam froze: "You're right, uh, Kalifa, just for the sake of Enies Lobby, for your future!"Kalifa sighed deeply, then opened her eyes.Kalifa didn't speak. She silently walked up to Luke, picked up the mind-control pill, and then swallowed it.[The mind-control pill has been consumed by Kalifa. Kalifa will become your loyal servant. Kalifa's admiration for you is one hundred percent. She will always be loyal and devoted to you!]Luke took a deep breath and looked at the sky. The air felt fresh and free at that moment."I have a secretary!" Luke muttered.Luke looked at Kalifa, and she had indeed changed. In her eyes, Luke saw love and admiration."Master Xiao, I am your loyal subordinate Kalifa. Please feel free to whip me!"Kalifa half-knelt on the ground and said to Lukewith loyalty.This scene once again shocked everyone."Hey Kalifa, you don't need to act so realistically!" Kaku said."Very good, Kalifa, stand up first. Your master will reward you!" Luke cupped Kalifa's chin.Kalifa hummed, then stood beside Luke with a flushed face, like a well-behaved rabbit."Take this Den Den Mushi!"Luke threw the Den Den Mushi to Spandam.Spandam made a diving catch and caught the Den Den Mushi."You scared me to death, I almost activated a Buster Call, hehehehe."Spandam climbed up with a lewd grin."Kalifa, attack him! You are still a member of CP9!" Spandam commanded Kalifa.Kalifa stood there motionless."Hey, did you hear what I said? Attack him, attack him!" Spandam said, exasperated.Kalifa still stood beside Luke, motionless, her eyes filled with reverence for Luke and hostility towards Spandam."Hey, what's going on, Kalifa? The Golden Den Den Mushi is already in my hands, no need to act anymore!" Spandam spread his hands, his face a black-man-asking-a-question emoji."Why are you calling my secretary? She has already left CP9, have you forgotten what you just said?" Luke said."I know, but why, Kalifa!" Spandam still couldn't understand.The other CP9 members were also confused, unclear about what had happened."Kalifa, you can come back," Rob Lucci said."No, Lucci, I will be Master Xiao's secretary in life and death. I will do whatever he tells me to do. I am no longer with you all!" Kalifa said.Kaku exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that pill from before!"Luke smiled and said nothing, but everyone understood that the pill was behind it.The CP9 members understood. It seemed Kalifawouldn't be coming back for now.At this moment, Spandam felt that things were not good and immediately pulled Robin, who was wearing Sea Stone handcuffs, towards the back of the Tower of Justice.Spandam's goal was the Gates of Justice. As long as he took Robin through the Gates of Justice, he would be safe."Kalifa, whip him!"Luke issued the command to Kalifa."As you wish, Master!"Kalifa swung her whip, striking Spandam's back hard, leaving a bloody mark on his back.Spandam fell to the ground, twitching uncontrollably. His Doriki of 630 almost whipped him to death.Seeing their superior attacked, the CP9 members immediately flashed over and surrounded Luke and Kalifa.Luke counted, there were five enemies in total.Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Waiper, Fukurou.Blueno, the Door-Door Fruit user, had already been defeated by Luffy in Gear Second."Hey, you guys, it seems you've forgotten something, return the Pluton blueprints to me!"Franky raised his right hand, aiming his Fresh Fire at everyone.
Chapter 147 5V5 Team BattleChapter 147: 5v5 Team BattleFranky didn't hesitate. The moment CP9 surrounded Luke, he activated his Franky Radical Beam.Although the cannon was aimed at Luke, in this situation, it actually helped Luke get out of trouble.The Franky Radical Beam forced CP9 back, and Lukeleaped up, arriving in front of Robin and Spandam."Xiao!" Robin looked at Luke excitedly.But Robin was currently wearing Sea Stonehandcuffs, and the key to the handcuffs was with CP9.There were five keys in total, meaning the probability of getting the correct key was only one in five.However, Luke, who had watched Pirate King, knew that the correct key was in Kaku's hand—the key labeled '5'."Robin, please wait a moment first," Luke said."Okay!" Robin nodded.At this moment, an unexpected event occurred. Spandam moved. He picked up a Den Den Mushi and shouted, "Hey, CP9, what are you doing? Kill them for me, no mercy!"However, the Den Den Mushi Spandam was holding was not the one used to issue commands on Enies Lobby, but rather the Golden Den Den Mushi that could activate a Buster Call. And that idiot pressed the button on the Golden Den Den Mushi.In other words, a Buster Call had been activated.Ten warships and five Vice Admirals were about to arrive at Enies Lobby to indiscriminately bombard the area."Amazing, Spandam. Among all the idiots I've met, you're definitely number one," Luke said, giving Spandam a thumbs up."Is... is that so? I... I activated a Buster Call," Spandam looked at the Golden Den Den Mushi in his hand, utterly shocked."I'm not praising you, you idiot!" Luke kicked Spandam flying into the wall, knocking him unconscious again.Spandam's father, Spandine, who was the CP9 chief twenty years ago, pressed the Golden Den Den Mushi on Ohara, destroying the entire island of Ohara and killing the historians, including Robin's mother, Olvia.Now his son had pressed the Golden Den Den Mushi on Enies Lobby. Like father, like son, but what he inherited was that idiotic trait.The members of CP9 once again came before Luke. Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Waiper, Fukurou—the five of them stood in a line."You have no chance of winning!" Kaku said."Against multiple opponents, the chances aren't great, but I never planned to fight multiple opponents. Look behind you."Following the direction Luke pointed, Luffy flew over on the Somersault Cloud.As soon as Luke flew to the Tower of Justice, he had the Somersault Cloud fly back to the top of the courthouse, at Luffy's feet.Luffy stretched his arm, pulling the Straw Hatdirectly to the top of the Tower of Justice.Also brought up was the shipwright, Paulie.Now, in terms of numbers, Luke's side had the advantage.Enemies meeting, eyes burning with rage.Luffy targeted Rob Lucci, Zoro targeted Kaku, Sanjitargeted Jabra, Paulie faced Fukurou, Luke targeted Waiper, and Franky targeted Luke.Nami, Usopp, and Chopper, along with Kalifa, formed the support group, responsible for assistance and cheering."Hey Franky, no need to be so stiff. Let's discuss the Pluton blueprints after I take care of this long-haired monster," Luke said, pointing at Waiper."What are you talking about? Give me back the Pluton blueprints right now!" Franky aimed his cannon at Luke."Do I look like a bad guy? The blueprints in my hands definitely won't be used for anything evil," Luke said."Yes, very much so. Good people don't snatch things from others," Franky said.Luke was stumped. He suddenly thought of a good idea. He took out a roll of ordinary parchment from his spatial ring, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the sea."Go, Pluton blueprints, sink into the sea!" Lukeroared."Nani!"Franky leaped from the top of the Tower of Justiceinto the sea, searching for the fake Plutonblueprints.Now, they could finally fight in peace.Kaku looked at Paulie and said, "You're not on our level. Don't play those rope tricks here. Although Fukurou is the weakest among us, he's not someone you can handle.""Chababa, I'm not the weakest. The weakest is Kalifa. Oh, I almost forgot, Kalifa is already an enemy!" Fukurou said.Paulie smiled slightly, cigar in mouth: "Then watch closely, don't blink!""Three Thousand Doriki: Overlord Sword Whip!"Paulie swung his rope, striking at Fukurou."Attacking me with a rope? You're underestimating me, chabababababa, Iron Body!"Fukurou intended to withstand the rope whip with Iron Body.Thump!The rope struck Paulie's body, making a sound like a cannonball. Fukurou was sent flying by the whip, seeing stars, unable to stand."Ho-how is that possible?" Kaku exclaimed."He took down Fukurou with one whip. It seems we can't underestimate this guy." Jabra's expression turned serious.Fukurou's Doriki was 800, and the rope's Doriki was nearly four times his, so even with Iron Body, he couldn't withstand it.Paulie was also very shocked, taking down a CP9 member with one whip."Hahahaha, now you know how amazing I am!" Paulie laughed."Don't get too happy too soon, Paulie!"With that, Kaku delivered a flying kick towards Paulie.Although Paulie possessed ropes with super strength, he couldn't compare to the CP9 members in terms of agility and reaction time.Just then, Zoro appeared in front of Paulie, blocking Kaku's attack with his sword."Your opponent has been dealt with. Now, watch the battle from the side!" Zoro said.Paulie nodded, standing with Chopper and the others to watch the team battle."Tch, it's you again." Kaku looked at Zoro, both filled with fighting spirit.Luke's opponent was the pink-haired Waiper. His Doriki was 810, and his weapon was a metal staff.His appearance and personality were like a Kabuki actor. He often pretended to commit seppuku but always activated his Six Powers 'Iron Body' beforehand, preventing successful suicide. His catchphrase was "Yo-yo-ii." He possessed the skill 'Life Return,' which allowed him to freely control any part of his body by pouring his consciousness into it.Rob Lucci said, "It's best to fight with the resolve to die, Waiper. Your opponent is very strong!"To be called a strong enemy by Lucci, Waipernaturally didn't dare to be careless."Tempest Kick: Lotus!"Waiper activated Tempest Kick, and a blue slashing wave struck Luke.Luke stood there motionless, showing no intention of dodging."Move, Xiao!" Nami exclaimed in surprise."Xiao!" Chopper's eyes widened.The slashing wave hit Luke's body, causing no damage, only tearing his clothes.Luke took off his upper garment, revealing his dark, Armament Haki-covered torso.Sanji, standing nearby, silently took a puff from his cigarette: "Your worries are unnecessary. Don't you know how strong that monster, Xiao, is?"
Chapter 148 What is ComfortableChapter 148: What It Means to Be ContentAs Luke bared his upper body, the team battle fully erupted.Luffy and Rob Lucci engaged in a fierce confrontation, Zoro and Kaku began a sword fight, and Sanji and Jabra started a martial arts duel.These three opponents included one with the Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard-form, one with the Giraffe Devil Fruit, and one with the Dog-Dog Fruit, Wolf-form.Adding Luke's opponent, the lion Waiper, it was practically the Straw Hat Crew against a zoo.Realizing that his Tempest Kick was useless, Waiperbegan to attack with his hair.Waiper first used his self-trained ability, "Life Return," to make his hair freely extend and retract like octopus tentacles, then used his hair to immobilize his opponent, and finally used other attack methods to kill him.Waiper coiled his hair into dozens of Finger Pistolshapes and swiftly jabbed them towards Luke.Nami and Chopper, witnessing this scene, were stunned.Kalifa asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Can't Master defend against hair attacks?"Chopper shook his head: "No, Xiao has the ability to attack with flames. Hair, or anything like it, is completely useless."Facing Waiper's hair Finger Pistols, Luke unleashed a Fire Fist, burning off more than half of Waiper's hair."Ah, so hot, so hot, my hair, my hair is gone!" Waiperexclaimed in surprise."Fire-Roasted Lion!"Luke gave Waiper no time to react, appearing before him and continuously unleashing flames.Waiper's wailing in the flames sent shivers down the spines of the other CP9 members who were fighting.The battle had just begun, and Waiper was already in trouble."Moonwalk!"Suddenly, Waiper burst out of the flames, using Moonwalk and attacking with his staff.Waiper's hair was disheveled, turning from long to short, and his heavy white makeup was burned to charcoal black, making him look extremely disheveled.What he thought was a sure-win attack was caught by Luke with one hand.In terms of Doriki, Luke's was already over four thousand. He casually consumed strength pills, as there were no side effects anyway, and unknowingly, his Doriki had surpassed Rob Lucci's.Luke's eyes fixed on the lion Waiper like a hunter stalking his prey.At this moment, Waiper was afraid; his entire body trembled. His opponent was unimaginably powerful, far beyond his ability to contend with.At this point, Waiper had only one thought: to escape, to escape from this guy, to escape from this Enies Lobby."Trying to leave? Try my newly developed move, or rather, an imitated move, Ura Hachijūhachi Shiki: Orochi Nagi!"Luke gathered flames in his hand, then unleashed them all at once towards Waiper.The explosive flames instantly enveloped Waiper, causing him to lose his ability to think and fall to the ground, his fate unknown.With a single decisive blow, Luke won the battle against the lion Waiper."Master, you've worked hard!"Kalifa appeared from somewhere with a cup of coffee.Luke took a sip of coffee: "Excellent, Kalifa, it tastes very good.""Thank you for the compliment, Master!" Kalifa's cheeks flushed, with a hint of shyness."What kind of treatment is this? Who drinks coffee on a battlefield?!" Nami loudly complained.Luke wagged his finger: "This is the difference between having a secretary and not having one."Chopper innocently said, "Nami, I want a secretary too.""Dream on!" Nami's critical hit ended Chopper's fantasy.Then Kalifa brought a chair, and Luke sat on it, crossing his legs, drinking coffee, and watching Luffyand their battles.Moreover, Kalifa was massaging Luke's shoulders from behind him.This VIP treatment left Nami speechless; she really wanted to hit Luke's back with her clima-tact."Comfortable, this coffee tastes excellent. Another cup, Kalifa.""Yes, my Master."Kalifa took the cup and went to the room to make coffee.At the same time, Luke glanced at the situation below the Tower of Justice; it seemed Franky had returned.Franky climbed up the Tower of Justice, then angrily glared at Luke."You bastard, you tricked me with a fake Plutonblueprint!""I guarantee on my honor that I will use the Plutonblueprint responsibly under your supervision," Lukeswore.Nami frowned; he seemed to have said that to her before."Hmph! For the sake of you Straw Hat, I'll believe you this once," Franky said.Franky actually compromised. Perhaps the Straw Hat Crew's spirit of fearlessly pushing forward, even against the World Government, to save their companions, moved Franky and made him believe Luke's words—this was the effect of the protagonist's halo."Good brother!"Luke patted Franky's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up."What do you plan to do with the Pluton blueprint?" Franky asked."I'm not sure. I'll appraise it first. As for what it appraises into..." Luke shrugged, indicating he didn't know the appraisal result either."I want to watch you appraise it with my own eyes. If it's something too outrageous, I will still decide to burn it," Franky said."No problem."Luke was also curious about what the Plutonblueprint could appraise into, as there was no real need to antagonize the future shipwright so much over a blueprint.The so-called Pluton was actually the most fearsome battleship in shipbuilding history, a super battleship built in Water 7, capable of destroying an island with a single shot.Even with the blueprint for such a terrifying battleship, Luke didn't have the leisure time to build it; he merely wanted to appraise it.Having convinced Franky, all that remained was to await the outcome of Luffy and their battles.At this point, Lucci had transformed into his leopard-human form, and Luffy had activated Gear Second, his body steaming, fighting Lucci to a standstill.Zoro, with his Three-Sword Style, faced Kaku, who had turned into a giraffe-man. Luke had a strange feeling that Kaku, as a giraffe, seemed less formidable than before his transformation.Then there was Jabra, who had transformed into a wolf-man, clashing intensely with Sanji, who was using his new technique, Diable Jambe.Watching the Straw Hat Crew's three main fighters in person left Luke in awe; it was far more real than watching on a screen, with even crumbling rocks flying towards him."Master, freshly brewed coffee. Please enjoy."Kalifa brought a new cup of coffee.Franky looked incredulous: "Kalifa, is it necessary to go to such lengths? Have you been brainwashed by Luke?""Shut up! You are not allowed to speak ill of Master!"Kalifa pulled out her iron whip and glared at Franky.Franky was dumbfounded: "Hey, I just asked if you were brainwashed! Your behavior clearly shows you've been brainwashed, right? You were a CP9 agent before; this change is too astonishing, hey!""Master would never do something as despicable as brainwashing! Take this whip!"Kalifa swung her whip, and Franky narrowly dodged."Xiao has already done something that despicable," Nami retorted.Luke scratched his head; the obedience pills seemed to have a similar function to brainwashing."Alright, Kalifa, Franky is on our side. You are not allowed to attack him without my command.""Yes, Master!" Kalifa put away her whip and said obediently.
Chapter 149 Demon Slayer OrderChapter 149: Buster CallThe battle with CP9 was nearing its end, with no suspense: Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji would all emerge victorious.The only thing worth noting was the impending Buster Call.The Gates of Justice slowly opened, revealing ten battleships behind them.For the Buster Call to be executed, the Gates of Justice, which had never been fully opened before, were now completely wide open for the first time.Luke admired the Marine's execution power; they bombarded their own territory, Enies Lobby, without hesitation.The five Marine Vice Admirals carrying out this Buster Call were Momonga, Yamakaji, Doberman, Onigumo, and Strawberry.Momonga is a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiraland also the base commander of Marine Branch G-1. He fights with a katana, excels in swordsmanship, and is also a disciple of former Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr. He commands Momonga's exclusive battleship.Yamakaji fights with a katana; he is powerful yet gentle, a role model for the Marine.Doberman, a mustachioed man with many scars on his face, was one of the two Headquarters Vice Admirals who assisted Akainu in pursuing the Whitebeard Pirates in the later stages of the great war, possessing considerable strength.Strawberry is an expressionless bearded man. His skull is much longer than that of an ordinary person, and he uses a two-sword style.Onigumo is also one of the disciples of former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr. He wears a helmet engraved with a double-headed dragon pattern and has a fierce expression. He wields two swords, and his hair, like a spider's eight legs, also holds swords; additionally, he uses pistols.The five Marine Vice Admirals, along with other Marine officers, grandly entered Enies Lobbythrough the Gates of Justice.After passing through the Gates of Justice, the Marine warships began an indiscriminate bombardment of Enies Lobby.The meaning of a Buster Call is simple: to blast the target into ruins.The incessant roar of cannons filled the air, but no one paid attention.As long as this Tower of Justice wasn't brought down, the battle would continue.At this moment, a cannonball flew towards Luke's side. Nami took out her clima-tact and created a wind wall, isolating this area from the outside.Any cannonballs that struck the wind wall were guided by the airflow to other locations, where they exploded.Seeing Nami like this, Luke felt greatly comforted. A clever mind combined with powerful magic meant Nami's future was boundless. If she were to awaken Observation Haki as well, she would be even more formidable.Soon, Sanji's battle was nearing its end. With a single Diable Jambe: Flambage Shot, he defeated the wolf-man Jabra.Next was the naming genius, the bard Zoro."Enduring hardships without complaint, this is the path of a Shura. Asura: Ichibugin!"A slash, transforming into a Shura, took down Kaku's head.The Straw Hat Crew members were all merciful; none of them delivered a fatal blow to their defeated opponents.Luke approached Kaku, picked up key number 5, and used it to unlock Robin's Sea Stone handcuffs.Luke conveniently placed the Sea Stone handcuffs into his spatial ring.At this inopportune moment, Spandam woke up. Robin's face was filled with fury upon seeing that guy.Robin used her Devil Fruit ability, continuously slapping Spandam's face, turning it into a pig's head."Good job, Robin! I also have a Super Pepper Star here!"Usopp threw a Pepper Star over.Robin caught the Pepper Star and then stuffed it into Spandam's mouth."Ah~~~ I'm going to breathe fire!" A ball of flame shot out from Spandam's mouth."Wrong one! That was a Flame Star. This is the Pepper Star!"Usopp threw another Pepper Star.Robin caught the Pepper Star and once again stuffed it into Spandam's mouth."So spicy!~~~" Spandam once again spewed flames from his mouth. The combination of fire and spiciness made him incredibly exhilarated.Next, everyone's attention focused on the battle between Luffy and Lucci.Since his last defeat by Aokiji, Luffy had seemed carefree, yet he had silently developed Gear Second and Gear Third.It was like in school, seeing a good student playing with you, then they score a perfect hundred while you barely pass.In reality, they were listening attentively in class, or studying diligently at night when you couldn't see them.But there's also another type: talent. Possessing unparalleled combat talent, Luffy might be one of those guys.Under Teacher Kaido's guidance, he learned Ryuo with one hit, Haki Coating with another, and then directly awakened his Devil Fruit with yet another hit. This kind of combat talent can only be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.However, there's also a possibility that Teacher Kaido taught him well.If that's the case, what did Rayleigh teach him for two years? It's embarrassing compared to Teacher Kaido's few hours of instruction.With Gear Third activated, Luffy sent Rob Lucciflying with a single Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol.This punch caused Lucci considerable internal injuries, but it hadn't reached the point of defeat yet.Due to the side effect of Gear Third, Luffytransformed into a cute small form, which was incredibly adorable.Such an adorable little Luffy made everyone want to touch him.The side effect of Gear Third lasted for one minute, but Lucci quickly got back up. Luffy insisted that no one interfere with the battle, so everyone enjoyed a scene of cat and mouse.Luffy ran in front, and Lucci chased behind.Finally, at the crucial moment, Luffy returned to his normal form.Because of the earlier Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol, Lucci spat out a mouthful of blood and walked with a slight stagger.Luffy immediately activated Gear Second and used an unparalleled Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling Gun, furiously striking Lucci's body.With a roar, Luffy completely sent Lucci flying, winning the battle.After the victory, Luffy, exhausted, collapsed to the ground. Luke gave him a pill that brought him back to life."I'm revived!" Luffy cheered, raising his arms.At this point, all members of CP9 had been defeated, but none were killed.The most deserving person to die should have been that guy, Spandam.Spandam cowered in the corner. All his subordinates had been defeated, leaving only the lone commander trembling."Kalifa, whip him!""Yes, Master!"Under Luke's command, Kalifa swung her whip, continuously lashing Spandam, flaying his skin and making him howl repeatedly."What a beautiful young lady! Her dashing figure wielding a whip has captured my heart!" Sanji's eyes turned into heart shapes."Robin, you handle him," Luke said.Spandam and Robin were sworn enemies; it was most fitting for Robin to make the move.Robin nodded, then used Treinta Fleur: Clutch, breaking Spandam's spine.Even so, Robin still didn't deliver a fatal blow. This move, while seemingly defeating Spandam, in reality only left him severely injured.Later, Spandam and Lucci appeared as CP0 in the Dressrosa royal palace, searching for smuggled weapons and a list, with Spandam becoming Lucci's subordinate.How to put it? Leaving a foolish enemy alive is also a good choice, and it also respects Robin's decision.
Chapter 150 Goodbye MerryChapter 150: Goodbye, Going MerryThe Buster Call was truly astonishing; after several hours of bombardment, the entire island was reduced to nothing but the Tower of Justice.Ten warships surrounded the Tower of Justice, their cannons aimed directly at it.Even the bridge leading to the Gates of Justice was destroyed; these warships were just emotionless bombing machines.Everyone gathered at the top of the Tower of Justice, discussing their next steps."It looks like we'll have to hijack a warship to get out of here," Sanji said."That's the only way," Zoro replied.Luke looked around, searching for the Going Merry's whereabouts.When the Aqua Laguna appeared, which was last night, the Going Merry seemed to gain a will of its own and sailed towards Enies Lobby.But even now, Luke hadn't seen any sign of the Going Merry."Xiao, what are you looking for?" Nami asked."Nothing."Luke replied, feeling a bit disappointed at not seeing the Going Merry.Could it be that the anime was lying, and in reality, a ship wouldn't just appear before its crew through sheer will?Just then, a mysterious voice, familiar yet distant, echoed in Luke's mind.Usopp also heard the sound and looked around, covering his ears."What's that sound?" Usopp wondered.Luffy heard it too: "Below, look below.""What's below?"Everyone in the Straw Hat Crew heard the mysterious voice, a call from the Going Merry's ship spirit.They looked down from the Tower of Justice and saw the Going Merry docked below the tower.Seeing this, Usopp burst into tears: "You guys... you guys are truly...""Everyone, jump!" Usopp shouted, his voice thick with tears.The cannons of the ten warships were already aimed at the Tower of Justice, and the Vice Admirals ordered the bombardment to begin.The first few cannonballs had already pierced Nami's wind blade barrier, making the Tower of Justice sway precariously."Chopper, do you see below?" Nami asked."I see it!" Tears welled up in Chopper's eyes."Into the sea!" Sanji yelled."Into the sea!" Nami said."Into the sea!" Everyone shouted."I'm jumping!"Luke leaped from the Tower of Justice, spinning several times in the air, then spread his arms, falling towards the sea like a bird in flight."Fire!"A new round of bombardment arrived, and the Tower of Justice was instantly destroyed.The Straw Hat Crew, along with Franky, Kokoro, who was holding Chimney and the cat, had all jumped from the Tower of Justice.Everyone smiled as they plunged into the sea below the Tower of Justice.The Going Merry was docked nearby, and everyone immediately climbed aboard.The familiar scent of the Going Merry brought back countless memories.They examined the Going Merry; there were signs of it being repaired again, thanks to Mr. Iceberg.Iceberg had found the dilapidated Going Merry on a deserted shore and heard the voice of the Going Merry's ship spirit.The Going Merry wanted Iceberg to fix it so it could embark on one last adventure.Iceberg picked up his tools and spent several hours repairing the Going Merry.Afterward, the Going Merry miraculously sailed itself through the sea towards Enies Lobby, even passing through the impossible waves of the Aqua Laguna, which was a miracle for a ship with a broken keel."Going Merry, it's the Going Merry! I really do like the Going Merry the most!" Chopper lay on the deck, weeping.Usopp hugged the mast: "Merry, Merry, my Merry is alive! Why, why are you on this island?"Franky also looked shocked: "Unbelievable! That ship was clearly swept out to sea back then.""Who brought it here?" Nami murmured."We'll talk about that later. Give us orders, Navigator-sama!"Luke pointed at the warships and reminded Nami.At this moment, the warships had already aimed their cannons at the Going Merry."Time to escape!" Zoro began to run, pulling on the sails."What are you doing, Luffy, Sanji!" Nami shouted.Luffy was pulled out of the sea by Robin.Luffy lay on the deck, gasping for air: "That was close! I almost drowned! Hey, Robin, I owe you my life!"Before he could finish, Robin used her Devil Fruit ability to cover Luffy's mouth.Robin's mind replayed the scene of everyone standing atop the courthouse, facing CP9 and the World Government, and burning the World Government flag.Robin slowly stood up, smiling as she looked at everyone."Luffy, and everyone else, thank you!"Hearing Robin's words, everyone showed expressions of relief.Kokoro also burst into laughter.Luffy said with a grin: "Don't worry about it, hehehehe!""Hehehehe!" Chopper also laughed."Save these boring talks for after we escape!" Zorosuddenly interjected, ill-timed."What's boring, you green moss ball!" Sanjiimmediately started fighting Zoro.Chopper bit Zoro's leg, repeating Sanji's words: "What's boring, green moss ball!"Zoro resisted their attacks: "Shut up! It'll be meaningless if we die here.""Apologize to Robin-san now!""Hurry!""You guys are enough!" Zoro said, exasperated."Apologize to Robin!" Chopper immediately transformed into his Human Point and gave Zoro a back adjustment."Surrender now!" Sanji said."No, no!" Zoro cried out in pain.Watching this scene, Robin also smiled.Nami said: "Everyone, get ready to make our getaway!""Alright!"Then, under Nami's command, the Going Merrybegan to weave through the massive warships, heading towards the Gates of Justice.Just then, the warships' cannons fired, and cannonballs rained down on the Going Merry.Luke unleashed a Fire Fist, intercepting half of the cannonballs.Zoro used his sword slashes, and Usopp used his slingshot to snipe the cannonballs.Even more incredible was Nami; she pulled out her Clima-Tact."Ice Shot!"A barrage of ice cones scattered in all directions, intercepting all the cannonballs in mid-air.Seeing Nami's powerful combat ability, everyone was stunned. Was this still the little cat burglar who only hid behind people?"Hehe, thanks to Usopp's creation and Luke's improvements!" Nami said, showing off her Clima-Tact.At this moment, the warships were preparing their second round of bombardment.Luke gathered flames in his fist, then released them with a powerful burst.A straight line of fire erupted, directly piercing through and destroying two warships in front of him.Affected by this attack, the other warships all came to a halt, the sea churning violently, requiring them to re-aim."Franky, it's your turn!" Luke said.Franky leaped up, putting on his small sunglasses."Everyone, prepare for impact."At this moment, a warship sailed over, attempting to block the Going Merry's path and prevent its advance.Franky went to the stern, aimed his hands at the sea, and gathered his Coup de Vent."The ship might take a hit, forgive me, Coup de ~ Vent!"Accompanying Franky's roar, a powerful blast of wind erupted from the stern.The Going Merry was propelled by this force, soaring into the sky and flying into the distance.Usopp took out his slingshot and fired a smoke bomb at the warships, disrupting their actions.By the time the smoke cleared, the Going Merry had already sailed away from Enies Lobby.
Chapter 151 Thank you, MeiliChapter 151: Thank You, Going MerryLuffy sat on the Going Merry's sheep figurehead again, his favorite seat."Thanks to you, we were able to escape. I never thought the Going Merry would come to save us. You've always protected us. It's so great to have a companion like you," Luffy said with emotion.Franky smiled slightly: "You guys, you really caused a ruckus this time, even shooting through the World Government's flag.""It's nothing special. We just rescued our kidnapped companion. And thank you for your help, Franky," Luffy said.Being thanked, Franky scratched his head and said tsundere-like: "It's nothing to a great guy like me.""In short, we won this battle!""Roar!"Everyone cheered loudly.The Going Merry sailed towards Water 7, and a strange thing happened again.When Usopp put on his mask again, Luffy and Chopper couldn't find Usopp.Usopp sat on the deck, holding his head, watching Luffy and Chopper search for him, his heart a mix of emotions.Everyone knew he was Usopp, but Luffy and Chopper just didn't know; they were completely face-blind."Hurry up and come out, if you don't, I'll beat you up!" Luffy shouted from Chopper's shoulder, making Robin laugh."Beat you up!" Chopper echoed.Usopp was unwilling to take off his mask, mainly because he hadn't figured out how to face Luffy.Zoro couldn't help but grumble: "How do these two guys even tell Usopp apart?"Everyone looked around the ship but didn't see anyone else.So, how the Going Merry came to Enies Lobbybecame a mystery.At this moment, everyone remembered hearing the Going Merry's call on the Tower of Justice.Almost everyone felt it, but it seemed too unrealistic; how could a ship talk?Everyone discussed it for a while but came up with no results.Just then, a large ship sailed over.It was the Galley-La Company's ship, with Iceberg and his shipwrights at the bow."You're still alive!""It's great that you're all okay!""Amazing, you actually challenged the Aqua Laguna, it's unbelievable!""They're back from Enies Lobby!"The Galley-La shipwrights shouted loudly from the bow.Iceberg stood at the bow, gazing at Robin, and called out Robin's name.Then Iceberg snorted and smiled: "What an incredible bunch, going against the World Government and taking everything back."The Straw Hat Crew waved to Mr. Iceberg, and the Going Merry gradually approached the Galley-LaCompany's large ship.Just then, something unexpected happened: the Going Merry suddenly broke in the middle.Like a broken biscuit, it snapped into two halves, and the Going Merry's sheep figurehead in front was already submerged in the water.The Going Merry's keel was completely broken; after so many adventures, it had reached the end of its life."Hey, look at their ship!" the Galley-La employees exclaimed."Hey, what's wrong? What happened suddenly?!" Zoro cried out in alarm.Sanji said calmly: "There's nothing sudden about it. It's only natural, isn't it? The Going Merry has already been deemed a ship that can no longer sail."Nami stood at the Going Merry's broken point, looking at the fracture, too shocked to speak."Uncle, something's wrong, the Going Merry is in trouble! Please do something, aren't you shipwrights? I beg you, please think of something! The Going Merry is our companion who has been with us on our adventures, and it just saved our lives. So please, Uncle!" Luffy shouted loudly at Iceberg.Iceberg stood at the bow, silent, and the shipwrights beside him also said nothing.After a moment of contemplation, Iceberg said: "Then let it rest here!"When the world's top shipwright said this, it meant the Going Merry could no longer be repaired."We've done all we can."Iceberg recalled the previous night, when he heard the Going Merry's call by the sea, wanting to sail one more time.For the Going Merry's wish, Iceberg repaired it once more, and then the Going Merry sailed alone on a giant wave, arriving at Enies Lobby."What I see now is a miracle, the miracle of a ship that has long surpassed its limits. Having been a shipwright for so many years, I have never seen such an incredible pirate ship. Its existence is truly remarkable," Iceberg said.Iceberg declared that the Going Merry had reached its end. Yes, the adventure with the Going Merrycould no longer continue.Luke placed his hand on the Going Merry's deck, continuously activating his All-Things Appraisal skill."Target object too large, not applicable for All-Things Appraisal. Please increase appraisal skill level!""Target object too large, not applicable for All-Things Appraisal. Please increase appraisal skill level!"A series of prompts sounded, and Luke wished he could smash the system.He had appraised tens of thousands of items, but it was still level one. If the skill reached level two, perhaps the Going Merry could be revitalized."Xiao, let's say a dignified farewell to it!" Luffy said, pulling his hat down.Luke stood up from the Going Merry's deck and, along with everyone else, jumped onto a small boat.Everyone looked at the Going Merry, their hearts filled with emotion.Luffy slowly raised the torch: "Going Merry, the bottom of the sea is dark and lonely. We will watch over you."Then Luffy lit the Going Merry with the torch."Perhaps it's a good thing Usopp isn't here; he definitely couldn't bear to see the Going Merry like this," Luffy murmured."How is it?" Zoro asked Usopp.Usopp took a deep breath: "That's not true. At the moment of farewell, men should not shed a single tear. He must have been mentally prepared."The fierce flames engulfed the Going Merry, burning every piece of wood that held everyone's cherished memories."Thank you for carrying us for so long, Going Merry!" Luffy's voice became hoarse.Smoke rushed into the sky, and strangely, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.Luke stretched out his hand, letting the snowflakes land on his palm. Looking closely, they weren't snowflakes, but circular white spirit bodies, glowing like fireflies.Is this the ship spirit?The moment they touched the snowflakes, scenes of their adventures with the Going Merry flashed through everyone's minds.In Syrup Village in the East Blue, they received the Going Merry as a gift from Usopp's childhood friend, Kaya, turning a humble start into something grand.They remembered the first time they saw the Going Merry, everyone was incredibly happy to own such a caravel.As the sails unfurled and the Straw Hat pirate flag waved, everyone set sail on the Going Merry.Due to repeated operational errors, the Going Merrysuffered many damages.They recalled practicing cannon firing on the Going Merry; Luffy never hit anything, while Usopp hit a bullseye every time.Flames still raged on the Going Merry, and Nami bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.Through storms, the Going Merry arrived at the entrance to the Grand Line, Reverse Mountain.Everyone stood on barrels."I will find All Blue!" Sanji said dashingly."I will become a legend!" Luke said."I will become the Pirate King!" Luffy said."I will become the greatest swordsman!" Zoro said."I will draw a map of the entire world!" Nami said."I will become a brave warrior of the sea!" Usoppsaid."Let's go, to the Grand Line!" The six of them shouted loudly.They sped up Reverse Mountain, soaring into the Grand Line.They had seen giant dolphins, Sea Kings in the Calm Belt, been to Alabasta, and witnessed massive storms.They met Robin."I have nowhere to go, no one to take me in. Just let me stay on this ship.""Oh, well, there's no helping that!" Luffy readily agreed.They rode the water current erupting from the seabed straight into the sky, soaring through the clouds, seeing the beautiful Sky Island, the romantic 400-year promise between men, and ringing the Golden Bell that echoed across the heavens.Finally, the Going Merry arrived at Enies Lobby, and as its mast fell, everyone wept.Nami covered her face and knelt on the ground, too heartbroken to speak.Chopper shouted the Going Merry's name, and a miracle happened: the Going Merry actually responded."I wish I could adventure with you all forever, but I…""We're the ones who should be sorry, Going Merry. My helmsmanship was terrible, making you crash into icebergs, and I even damaged your sails. Zoroand Sanji are also idiots, they messed up so many parts of the ship. Although Usopp would repair you, he was clumsy. We're the ones who should be sorry…" Luffy's eyes were filled with tears."But I was very happy. Thank you for always cherishing me. I was truly happy, because I was with you."The flames flared up again, and the Going Merry's voice gradually faded away."Going Merry!" Luffy shouted loudly at the sky
Chapter 152 Electric HybridChapter 152: Electric Hybrid EngineTwo days had passed since the Enies Lobbyincident. Under Iceberg's arrangement, everyone was staying in Galley-La's temporary headquarters, in the special pirate room.This house was particularly spacious, with a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.Two days of rest hadn't been enough for Luffy to recover.To adjust his body, Luffy had developed a new technique: eating while sleeping.At the dining table, Luffy was seen frantically stuffing fish into his mouth, then snoring loudly with a sleep bubble hanging from his nose.Diligent Sanji, seeing that Luffy was almost finished, brought out a few more plates of food. With him around, Luffy would never go hungry.In these two days, a total of forty-eight hours, Lukespent forty hours learning the remaining four Rokushiki techniques: Soru, Moonwalk, Rankyaku, and Finger Pistol.Now, the basic training for Rokushiki was complete; next would be the intermediate training.However, Luke's dark circles were very prominent, and he needed to catch up on sleep before continuing his studies.Luke picked up a large chicken leg and started gnawing on it, preparing to go to sleep after finishing.Just then, Kokoro walked in with Chimney and her pet, Gonbe."Everyone's finally awake. Sleeping for two whole days means you must have been exhausted. That's understandable. The Pirate King is quite energetic, though."Kokoro looked at Luffy's ravenous eating with great satisfaction."Uh, it's not like that. Because he didn't want to miss meals by sleeping after a battle, he seems to have learned the skill of eating while sleeping," Sanjiexplained."That's amazing, Pirate-kun!" Chimney exclaimed.Kokoro was also shocked, having never seen anyone eat while sleeping. He truly was a remarkable person.Unlike the carefree Luffy, Nami was slumped over, looking very dejected.Although the Log Pose was full and they could set off for the next island, they had no money and no ship, making it impossible to sail.Nami was so sad she didn't want to move.Previously, Luke had promised her five hundred million Berries, but she thought it was just a joke from Luke. How could one person carry so much money? Nami hadn't taken it to heart.Chopper and Robin also returned from shopping at this time. Sanji quickly ran over and took the items Robin had bought.Chopper had visited Franky House to check on the injured guys; fortunately, none were seriously hurt.Except for Usopp and the directionally challenged Zoro, everyone else was present.Accompanied by a strange howl, Franky walked into the room with two attendants."Aow!~~ Is everyone doing well?"Franky turned his back to everyone and struck a strange pose.Franky noticed that not everyone was present."Franky, why are you being so sudden?" Sanji asked."Listen up, I have something important to say," Franky pushed up his small black sunglasses.Luke, who had been dozing off, immediately perked up when he heard Franky say this. This Franky guy was going to help them build a ship.Franky sat there and first introduced the Treasure Tree Adam. Even when war broke out on that island, everyone died, and the entire city turned into ruins, the Treasure Tree Adam still stood there, unyielding no matter what happened."What... about the tree?" Chopper asked, tilting his head."Parts of this tree are very occasionally traded on the black market, a treasure worth two hundred million," Franky said."You bastard, you didn't use our money to buy that thing, did you?!" Sanji exclaimed."Let me finish first."Franky suddenly knelt on one knee."I once resolved never to build ships again, but I still want to follow the man I've always looked up to as a role model. Before I knew it, I had already drawn up the ship's blueprints.""My dream is to use that Treasure Tree once again to build a dream ship that can cross any sea. I'm going to build this ship now, so when it's finished, will you all ride on this ship I've built?" Franky said loudly.Everyone was stunned. Just when they were worried about not having a ship, someone came forward, and it was made from the Treasure Tree Adam, built by a disciple of the world's former best shipwright, Mr. Tom.Joy and surprise appeared on everyone's faces."Then... then you mean...""You're giving that ship to us?""That's right. If people I like can ride on it, there's nothing happier than that. Besides, the money also came from you. Gol D. Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, which sailed around the world, was also built from this tree. I will definitely build an amazing ship with it and show you," Franky said spiritedly.Kokoro was also very happy: "You're impossible. Mr. Tom and you are still the same kind of shipwrights in the end, hahaha.""Yes, now I can understand Mr. Tom's feelings when he bravely faced death," Franky said."That's great!" The Straw Hat Crew cheered with joy."So happy, we got a ship!" Nami was overjoyed."Wait!"At this moment, Luke waved his hand, leaving everyone puzzled."Can I see your blueprints?" Luke asked Franky."Of course," Franky handed the blueprints to Luke.Luke glanced at the ship's blueprints. There were many design drawings, and he couldn't understand them all at once."Something is still missing," Luke said."Missing what?" Franky asked, puzzled."Everyone, follow me."Luke led everyone to the shore.While everyone was confused, Luke took out a capsule and released the Ark Maxim.A colossal ship appeared on the shore, leaving Franky speechless with shock."What... what in the world is this thing?!"Franky had seen many ships, but all of them sailed on the sea. This was the first time he had seen a ship flying in the sky.The wing-like oars, the countless propellers, and the gold and crystal conduits all proclaimed the extraordinary nature of this ship."How about it, Franky? After seeing this ship, have you gained some inspiration?" Luke asked."I have some inspiration, but I'm still not clear about your specific needs," Franky said."My needs are simple. I've seen your blueprints; the power is driven by cola. I hope to add this ship's electric drive. You can take all the components on the ship. An electric hybrid engine, that's all. This way, when there's no cola, my thunder god bladecan be put to use."Luke took out the thunder god blade, and its flashing lightning illuminated Franky's astonished face."No problem. Are you sure you don't want this ship? Don't complain after it's disassembled.""No complaints. Of course, the extra gold inside is a considerable asset, initially estimated at least one billion Berries. Five hundred million of that belongs to Nami. Please use it at your discretion," Luke said."One... one billion Berries!"Franky looked at the massive golden figure on the Ark Maxim and became extremely interested in the ship's origin."Alright, I'll add the electrical system according to your request. Originally, it's impossible to guarantee electricity for sea voyages, but since you have the ability to generate electricity, this is the happiest thing for navigation," Franky and Luke shook hands, agreeing to the decision.
Chapter 153 Vice Admiral GarpChapter 153 Vice Admiral GarpAfterward, everyone returned to the accommodation provided by Galley-La.Franky asked everyone about their requirements, such as a bathroom, a kitchen, and so on. Sanjiwanted a refrigerator with a lock, Nami hoped to plant tangerine trees, Robin wanted a study, and Chopper said he wanted to keep fish.Franky agreed to all of these, and everyone cheered again.With the electrical system in place, everything else would be perfect, even the color of the light bulbs, Franky had his own considerations.Just as everyone was discussing, a noisy sound came from outside the door.Looking out, dozens of Marine surrounded the place.Suddenly, a large hole was punched through the wall by a strange force.Everyone looked at the wall in astonishment, and as the smoke and dust cleared, a tall, broad-chested, muscular old man wearing a dog-head hat appeared before them.That's right, Luffy's grandfather, the legendary Marine hero Garp, had arrived.He had a scar over his left eye. His eyes were blue, he had a full head of short gray hair, and he wore a Marine 'Justice' cape.Garp's strength goes without saying; he is above an Admiral. Now that he is old, he might not be on par with the Four Emperors, but he would certainly not be weaker than an Admiral.After all, he had repeatedly cornered Pirate King Roger, and thirty-eight years ago, he single-handedly blocked the advance of the Rocks Piratesin God Valley and teamed up with Roger to annihilate the entire pirate crew, becoming a Marinehero, known as 'Hero Garp'.Speaking of the Rocks Pirates, they were a formidable pirate crew back in the day. Besides Captain Rocks, their crew included three of the current Four Emperors: Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido, as well as the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki.The fact that he could annihilate such a pirate crew shows Garp's extraordinary strength.He had been repeatedly offered promotion to Admiral by the higher-ups, but he always refused in order to pursue Roger and to maintain his freedom of action.When Luke saw this legendary Marine, he felt a pang in his chest, involuntarily recalling the Book Spirit from the Rokushiki training, who used Garp's avatar to beat Luke to a pulp."Are you the Straw Hat? A few men want to see Monkey D. Luffy!"Garp said with a hearty laugh, striding with vigorous steps."Marine!" Everyone gasped in shock.Luke, meanwhile, was flipping through the Rokushiki book, and Luffy was even more outrageous, sleeping soundly there.Seeing Luffy asleep, Garp smiled: "Still the same hopeless fellow as before."With that, Garp flashed past Sanji and Franky.Sanji and Franky didn't even react; he was too fast."What!""Oh no!"Franky and Sanji exclaimed.Then Garp came before Luffy and slammed a fierce iron fist onto Luffy's forehead."Get up now!""Ouch, ouch!"Luffy clutched his head, wailing in pain.Sanji was a little surprised; how could the rubber man, usually immune to blunt force, be in such pain from a punch? It could only be said that Sanji did not understand the power of Iron Fist Garp."A fist full of love is irresistible! You really caused quite a ruckus, Luffy!" Garp said, taking off his dog-head hat."Gr-gr-gr-Grandpa!"Luffy stared at Garp in astonishment, clutching the large bump on his head."Eh!?"Those who were unaware of the situation let out exclamations of shock.A Marine Vice Admiral was Luffy's grandfather; it was simply too absurd.When she learned his name was Garp, Namibecame even more flustered; that was the name of a Marine hero."Luffy, is that really your grandfather?" Sanji asked."That's right, don't attack! I've been almost killed by Grandpa countless times before!" Luffy said.Garp explained how he used to train Luffy, throwing him into a thousand-fathom abyss, abandoning him in a jungle at night, and tying him to a balloon to fly into the sky—all to train Luffy into a strong man.It was truly remarkable that Luffy had survived until now, and everyone understood the source of Luffy's tenacious vitality."Although I eventually asked a friend to let you train with Ace, you still ended up like this when I wasn't paying attention! This old man trained you to become a strong Marine soldier!" Garp roared."Didn't I always say I wanted to be a pirate?" Luffysaid."Are you poisoned by Red Hair? How boring!""Shanks is my savior, you're not allowed to speak ill of him!""You're ordering your Grandpa not to say such things."Garp grabbed Luffy by the collar and raised his iron fist."Ah, I'm sorry!" Luffy shouted.Facing his own grandfather, Luffy had no intention of fighting, and besides, he knew his grandfather's strength; he simply couldn't win.However, just then, two people suddenly fell asleep at the same time, and sleep bubbles appeared on their noses.A powerful family, with an embarrassing ability to fall asleep instantly.As Garp's sleep bubble popped, Garp woke up with a start: "Oh no, I actually fell asleep."Garp, looking bewildered at the sleeping Luffy in his hand, became furious again: "Get up now, Luffy! Is this how you behave when someone is lecturing you?!"You yourself fell asleep, and you still have the nerve to talk about others, Luke thought, speechless.Accompanied by a fist of love, Luffy wailed repeatedly from the beating.Since it was a family matter, no one felt it appropriate to intervene, so they just watched quietly."And do you even know what kind of pirate that man called Red Hair is?" Garp said."Shanks, are Shanks and the others doing well? Where are they?""What do you mean 'doing well'? Among the countless pirates now, he is one of the four pirates on par with Whitebeard, reigning like an emperor in the latter half of the Grand Line. The world calls them the Four Emperors! The only forces capable of rivaling the strength of these four are MarineHeadquarters and the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If the balance between these three great powers is lost, it will be enough to create a massive force that could shatter the world's balance!" Garp said."Although I don't really understand, it's good as long as he's safe. I really miss him!" Luffy picked up the Straw Hat on his back, recalling past memories with Red Hair Shanks.Robin, beside him, was also very surprised that Luffy had a connection with Red Hair.Luffy was a 'connected' person, and he was connected to world-famous big shots: his grandfather was a Marine legend, his father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his brother was the Pirate King's son, and his friend, the Four Emperors Shanks, represented the new era. It was simply an adventure of a celebrity's child.Just then, a lost Zoro rushed in from outside.Seeing so many Marine, Zoro thought they were there to capture everyone, so he immediately started fighting with the Marine.Helmeppo, wielding a cutlass, appeared and began to fight Zoro."Wait, Zoro, don't attack!"Luffy rushed out, and then, the thin and handsome Marine Staff Sergeant Koby, with pink hair, appeared, repelling Luffy with a punch.Luffy didn't recognize the greatly changed Koby, so he started fighting Koby.Koby had learned Rokushiki's Soru, but he, who should have been instantly defeated by Luffy, was fighting back and forth with Luffy."Cola Jet!"Cola bubbles enveloped Luffy, obscuring his vision.For a moment, Luffy was helpless against Koby."Gum-Gum, Gatling!"Luffy used a barrage of attacks to shatter the cola in front of him.Taking advantage of Koby's momentary pause, Luffyactivated Gear Second and defeated Koby, who hadn't had time to elementalize, with a single move.This Cola Devil Fruit is indeed amazing, but it's a pity; how great it would be if Franky had eaten it.
