Law in Trouble, and the Whereabouts of Luffy and the Others

The New World, Moby Dick.

"That Straw Hat Luffy is way too arrogant! Does he really think that just because he can take down that Golden Lion guy, he can defeat Pops?"

"That's outrageous! Straw Hat Luffy, just because he's Ace's brother doesn't mean he can talk back like that. I'll never let him get away with this."

"Hmph! Don't let me run into him again, or I'll teach him a lesson."

"..."

"..."

"Gurara! As expected of Ace's brother! Just as arrogant as he was back then! But... I like it." Whitebeard ignored the indignant curses of his crew and laughed loudly.

The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Oh ho ho ho, so I'm their first target?! They really look down on me! These brats, I guess I'll have to teach them a lesson. The pirate world isn't for little kids like them playing house." Kaido said sternly, taking a sip of his drink.

New World, Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

"Mama, you brat, you really think you're so high and mighty! You don't think I'll be scared just because your grandfather is Garp, do you? You're really underestimating me!" Big Mom said coldly.

The New World, Red Force.

"Hahaha, boss, did you see that?! The first person Luffy wants to defeat is you! How about it, aren't you scared?"

"You'd better watch out when you meet Luffy next time! Don't let him defeat you!"

"Boss, don't be afraid! Even if Luffy defeats us later, it's okay, we won't tell anyone, hahaha."

"..."

"..."

Hearing the teasing from his crew members around him, Shanks gave a helpless wry smile, shook his head slightly, and said, "Luffy hasn't even challenged me yet, but he's already given me such a big 'baptism of fire.' He's really difficult to deal with!"

The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar of Shakky.

"Defeat the Four Emperors? That Straw Hat Luffy's ambition is really something!" Rayleigh said with slight surprise. "It seems his goal is... to become the Pirate King!"

"Hehehe, Monkey- chan, you truly deserve to be my favorite Supernovas this year! You certainly have an extraordinary presence!" Shakky said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand.

Impel Down, Level 6, inside a prison cell.

"Luffy hasn't changed at all! But, Pops's not so easy to beat, you know!" Ace laughed.

Suddenly, a burly figure was escorted by several jailers to the cell in front of him. His pupils contracted instantly, and he stammered, "Jinpei... Jinbe, how... is it you?!"

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.

"Luffy, please don't make rash decisions anymore, okay?!" Nami grabbed Luffy by the neck, angrily saying.

"Damn it, I'm the captain! My decision is final!" Luffy roared.

"Captain, please listen to the opinions of the other crew members!" Chopper and Usopp shouted from the side.

Sanji, Robin, and the others watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

Zoro subconsciously adjusted his Wado Ichimonji at his waist, muttering, "Four Emperors? Definitely a worthy opponent!"

Brook suddenly pointed at the screen in the sky and shouted, "Hey everyone! Something's wrong! Mr. Luo, who's supposed to be our ally in the future, seems to be in bad shape!"

"Ah?!"

In the video footage, Law, under the combined attack of Fujitora and Doflamingo, fled in a sorry state into the nearby jungle.

Doflamingo and Fujitora immediately gave chase, and soon Law was surrounded by them in the jungle.

For a time, they found themselves in a predicament.

On the screen, a few comments expressing sympathy for Law immediately popped up: {A Marine Admiral and a Shichibukai, ganging up on another Shichibukai —that's so unfair! Why don't they have a one-on-one fight!}

{It seems there's a reason Trafalgar Law was chosen as one of the Shichibukai! He's definitely got some skills! To be able to fight and retreat even under these circumstances is truly remarkable!}

{Wait, where are the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates? Aren't they allies with Trafalgar Law? Why are they leaving Trafalgar Law to take the beating all by himself? That's just too inhumane!}

Where did the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates run off to?! Come quick, come save them!

Seemingly to answer the questions raised by the viewers, the video suddenly shifted, moving from Luo's side to a small alley.

Franky's voice rang out, "You must be one of Doflamingo's men!"

A masked man, his mouth bleeding from a beating and several teeth missing, stood arrogantly in front of Luffy and Franky, declaring, "That's right! It's me, so what?"

"Just as I expected!" Franky said, resting his chin on his hand.

Luffy chimed in from the side, "Yeah!"

"What do you want? Going against the young master in Dressrosa will have dire consequences!" the man threatened.

Upon hearing this, Franky immediately punched him. Although he ducked and dodged, the punch still extinguished his arrogance, and he immediately sat on the ground, trembling.

"Who are you trying to scare?" Franky said dismissively.

"Uncle, you'd better confess what I asked you earlier." Luffy squatted down, looked at him, and said.

"I already said! I did carry out missions to capture samurai, but I have absolutely no idea how they were captured or where they were held!" The man said in terror, tears welling in his eyes. "And what's with this 'smile' thing? I don't understand any of it!"

"Never heard of SMILE?" Franky asked, slightly surprised.

"Never heard of it, I know absolutely nothing about factories or anything like that! By the way, who exactly are you people?!" the man asked.

"This is troublesome! I didn't expect that even their companions didn't know!" Luffy didn't answer his question, but said disappointedly.

"Where's your supervisor? Someone like you, a mere errand boy, really doesn't have much value!" Franky continued to press.

"How would I know? Everyone's very busy today, and I don't know where they are. But if you're looking for the family's leaders, you can go to the Corrida Colosseum over there. There's a grand event being held there today; people from all over the country are gathered there!" The man pointed to a large building outside the alley and said.

"What kind of grand event is so important that so many people are gathering?" Franky asked, puzzled.

"I don't know why, but Young Master has prepared an incredibly powerful prize for today's event. It's something truly extraordinary, and everyone wants it," the man said greedily.

"Everyone wants its precious gift? Could it be the delicious meat Doflamingo mentioned?" Luffy said, drooling.

"That guy only said it was what you wanted! He never said it was meat!" Franky glanced at him and said helplessly.

"That seems to be the case! But what exactly is it?" Luffy asked, looking at the man.

"Listen up! Don't get scared!" The man pointed a finger, looking smug.

However, at this moment, the video suddenly shifted to the bullring.
