Law vs. Sabo

Just as Sabo was feeling utterly humiliated and thought he was being unfairly blamed, a sudden burst of artillery fire and desperate shouts came from the other side of the street.

"Quickly, chase after him! Don't let Trafalgar Law get away!"

"If we can capture him, our homeland will be saved."

"Wait, what... what kind of ability is this? Why am I still alive even though my head was cut off?"

"My body is torn to pieces! I'm about to die... Why am I still alive and well? Could it be that I ate Devil Fruit before, and I'm actually Chop-Chop Fruit user?"

Sabo stared wide-eyed ahead and saw a large number of guards chasing a man and a bear. The man, Law, used some unknown ability to tear the guards to pieces without killing them.

"What a cruel ability! To dismember the enemy without killing them, is he trying to let them die in pain and despair? No wonder the people of this country are so terrified and hate him!" Without thinking, Sabo grabbed his water pipe and rushed out.

"Hey, wait..." Koala stomped her foot, thinking that she would definitely twist Sabo's face 360 degrees when he came back.

Having just escaped the pursuit, Law's face was grim. He still didn't know who the enemy was, only suspecting that Doflamingo was behind it.

"You thug, today is your end." Just as Luo was feeling frustrated, an extremely powerful shockwave struck. His years on the run made him make the wisest choice in that instant.

"Room!"

The swirling typhoon vortex enveloped Luo, and the exchange was completed in an instant.

Snap!

Sabo looked surprised. Just as he was about to attack, Law's body turned into a piece of Kogarashi, and Law himself teleported to the ground where the Kogarashi was.

"So you're the mastermind behind this?" Law asked with a grim expression. "Are you one of Doflamingo's newly recruited executives?"

"Doflamingo?" Sabo was taken aback, then shook his head. "I'm just a kind-hearted person who helps those in need."

Luo's face was gloomy, as if ink could drip from it. "Where did this meddlesome fool come from, and yet he's so strong!"

"Get out of my way right now, or don't blame me for being impolite," Luo said, taking a deep breath.

"You're the one who should surrender. I have important things to do and can't waste too much time on you." Sabo stuck the water pipe into the ground, bent his index and middle fingers together, and assumed an offensive stance.

"room·Baton!" Luo stretched out his index finger and waved it upwards. The surrounding buildings seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, crushing towards Sabo.

"Dragon Claw!" Facing the overwhelming attack, Sabo calmly lashed out with his claw, slamming it onto the house in front. The terrifying force instantly reduced the mountain-like house to dust.

Luo wasn't idle either. The moment the house shattered, he swapped himself with the rock dust in front of Sabo, and the next second he appeared before Sabo, brandishing the Demon Blade Kikoku Oni-Ku.

Sabo crossed his arms in front of him, his hands covered in jet-black Armament Haki. The moment he made contact with the Kikoku, a violent metallic tremor resounded. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sabo delivered a whip kick to Law, shattering another branch of the tree that had replaced his body into dust.

"Is it Haki?" Luo's eyes were filled with envy. It wasn't that he didn't know about Haki, but he had always suffered from a lack of teachers, and he had spent most of his time on the run, so he hadn't even mastered the basics of Haki yet.

"What a powerful Devil Fruit Ability! The teleportation alone is enough to make him difficult to deal with." Sabo considered himself stronger than Law, but Law's mobility was too great. Even he couldn't defeat him in a short time.

"With such great strength, why bother making things difficult for this peaceful country?" Sabo advised earnestly while launching a rapid attack with both hands and feet.

"Are you an idiot? How did you see me causing trouble for this country? They're the ones who've been chasing me all along!" Luo retorted as he retreated under Sabo's fierce attack.

"These people are no match for you. If you hadn't pushed them too far, why would they risk their lives to capture you?" Sabo clearly didn't believe it, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

"I'm even more curious about this than you are. Besides Doflamingo, it should only be the World Government that's going to keep bothering me." Under Sabo's onslaught, Law was already in grave danger, but he still couldn't help but argue, "But if the World Government were to send in, they wouldn't be sending these guards, they would be sending CP0."

"World Government'? CP0?" Upon hearing these two terms, Sabo visibly slowed his attack, giving Law a chance to catch his breath.

Sabo's eyes gleamed as he began to believe Law's words; after all, most people had no idea of CP0's existence.

"Um... there might be some misunderstanding here..." Sabo withdrew from the battle, revealing an awkward but polite smile.

"I told you long ago, I'm the one being targeted!" Law looked at Sabo with resentment that could pierce the sky. "I only came to this island to gather information about Doflamingo, who knew these guards would pounce on me like mad dogs."

"Sabo, he's right, but the guards aren't wrong either," Koala said, appearing beside Sabo at the opportune moment.

"Koala, what do you mean by this? And where did you go before?"

"I had a good 'heart-to-heart' with those guards and finally understood why they were so persistent in pursuing this Spotty Man."

Luo glanced at his spotted clothes, his lips twitched, and wisely chose not to make a defense.

"This morning, a group of people came to this kingdom, claiming that if they didn't help him find this Spotty Man, he would destroy the country. In order to protect the country, these guards succumbed to his tyranny and are now determined to capture the Spotty Man, even at the cost of their lives," Koala said in a heavy tone.

"Using a country as a threat, how despicable!" Sabo said, suppressing his anger.

"Is it... Doflamingo?" Law took a deep breath, his knuckles turning white as he gripped Kikoku's fist.

"No." Koala shook her head, her expression quite fearful, and said, "It's an enemy ten times more terrifying than Doflamingo, the Nightmare Roy, one of the Shichibukai!"

"I think I heard the chief say that this guy seems to be an enemy that should never be provoked." Sabo's expression was solemn. "But seeing this situation and not taking action would really go against my beliefs. Koala, you take Master Hac and go first. I'll take the Spotty Man and leave. I'll come find you after the deal is done."

"Idiot, what's the point of talking about a deal at a time like this?" Koala didn't stop Sabo from rescuing Lo, after all, anyone who was an enemy of the World Government was an ally of theirs.

"It's alright, trust my strength, and Spotted's abilities are also..." Sabo suddenly noticed Law's strange behavior and asked curiously, "Spotty Man, what's wrong with you?"

"It's no use. That monster is no match for us. There's no hope." Luo shook his head dejectedly. "You guys should leave quickly. Anyway, that monster's target is me."

"Damn it! You're just going to give up like this?" Sabo said angrily, completely surprised that Law, whose strength was only slightly weaker than his, seemed to become a different person after hearing that name.

"Even he was far beyond my capabilities two years ago." Luo's expression struggled as he recalled the scene from two years ago. "Even Doflamingo was no match for him, so I certainly have no hope. Everything is going to end here."
