Breakout X Escape

At this moment, a large number of naval vessels docked outside the Sabaody Archipelago.

This made people on land realize that something was wrong.

Furthermore, the navy personnel who disembarked from the ship swiftly took control of all personnel along the street.

Of course, those who felt it most deeply were the 'Lawless Area' that had only been bustling again for a few days.

Wherever the navy went, chaos followed... The One Piece either ran away or hid.

Even in other numbered neighborhoods, residents were forced to stay home and were not allowed to leave their homes; all shops were forced to close.

It's important to understand that even Luffy's actions amounted to nothing more than punching Celestial Dragons One-Punch Man, while Oboro... killed Celestial Dragons.

Dom followed closely behind Oboro, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.

He was so nervous his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak...

Because the Navy had sealed off the entire island in a very short time, the scale of the operation was much larger than when Oboro had escaped as a slave. Almost every street was guarded by Navy personnel, which even made Dom suspect that the Marine Headquarters had deployed all its forces.

In this situation, let alone someone who is a local, even a seasoned veteran who has lived in the Sabaody Archipelago for decades wouldn't dare say he could use the terrain to his advantage and lead the two of them to escape.

If he were leading the way, he would be caught within five minutes.

However, surprisingly, Dom discovered that Oboro was actually able to do it.

Even though the other party was not a native of Sabaody Archipelago, he seemed to have a complete understanding of the deployment and actions of the surrounding navy. As long as the other party's lines had not been completely blocked, Oboro could always keenly find that 'gap' and lead him to break through.

This is also why Oboro is racing against time.

Seek a glimmer of hope before the navy can firmly stabilize the overall situation.

"That's... a vice admiral from the Marine Headquarters!"

A moment later, Oboro led Dom to a chaotic street where a group of One Piece were fighting the Marines. The battle seemed intense, but it was a completely one-sided affair. A few days ago, during the riots, the One Piece were able to put up some resistance against the Marines, but now they were no match for them, even though the Marines' forces consisted of only a small squad of about a hundred men.

When Dom saw the face of the naval leader, he understood.

Even the lieutenant general from headquarters was mobilized... and he was only leading an insignificant small team.

This means... other vice admirals in the navy are probably here as well.

The navy wanted to subdue everything in the shortest possible time with overwhelming force.

Oboro's steps did not stop. No matter how bad these navy men were, they could still hold them off for some time. As long as there was chaos, there was a way out.

He swiftly circled the edge of the battlefield and darted into another street corner. Several naval soldiers spotted the two of them and opened fire without hesitation.

However, he missed them. As the two sides drew near, Oboro flicked his hand and rushed past several naval soldiers, breaking all their necks.

"Indiscriminate attack..."

Dom realized there was a problem.

In the past, the Navy's actions against One Piece, no matter how vicious One Piece were, prioritized capture, such as persuading them to surrender or finding ways to capture them. But this time it was clearly different. The Navy's consistent goal was to kill all the uncontrollable One Piece on the island.

Generally speaking, the navy cares a lot about its 'reputation' and rarely does such things.

This is unprecedented.

"Walk!"

Long urged him on.

In his mind, the locations and points of all the soul fluctuations in the nearby neighborhood appeared.

It was precisely because of his ability that the two of them were able to escape here safely.

Oboro is using his own strength to fight against the combat power of the One Piece world.

This power originally belonged to him.

It is a 'product' of another world.

That's also where his confidence comes from.

Unless the world's will of the One Piece has a way to completely obliterate his soul, he has a fighting chance.

Long and his companions opened a small map, traversing through dungeons that weren't yet completely surrounded. The journey seemed perilous, but the power of their souls protected them. After a while, the two arrived at a familiar area from the city. It was close to the sea, as there was a tributary extending from the open ocean not far away, but unfortunately, it was already heavily guarded by the navy.

Long also saw two familiar figures.

Marine Headquarters Admiral Bastille, carrying a large sword.

The other was Stainless, who had dark skin and a long, slightly curly beard.

These two are undoubtedly the team leaders stationed in this area.

Fortunately, there were only two of them, and the terrain here was mostly hilly, so they could use the small slopes to hide themselves, as long as they tried not to make any noise and kept a sufficient distance. However, what surprised Dom the most was that he saw a storefront on a hill not far away.

Rip-off Bar.

He also caught a glimpse of someone.

That drunken old man with white hair.

The guy who helped Oboro get rid of the Celestial Dragons's collar.

Rayleigh, the Pluton.

Right now, Pluton was leaning against the shop entrance, drinking heavily from a bottle Rayleigh. A row of Marine soldiers stood a dozen meters away. Not only the streets, but even this secluded corner had been cleared out... not a single person could be seen.

The surroundings were empty.

Rayleigh drank his wine and laughed incessantly.

This caused the soldiers guarding the front to frequently turn around and glare at him.

In the soldiers' eyes, Rayleigh was just a drunkard, and as long as he didn't move around and stayed quietly at the shop entrance, they couldn't be bothered with him.

Why is Rayleigh laughing?

Because the lenses of his glasses reflected two moving 'small black dots'.

Clearly, he knew who the other person was... and he was the only one at the scene who noticed the 'abnormality'.

At the same time, while running, Oboro sensed a gaze... realizing that Rayleigh had discovered her. This wasn't difficult for a strong person who had honed their Observation Haki to a certain level. Clearly, compared to Rayleigh, the two Marine Vice Admirals' perception was far inferior.

Even if one possesses the ability to Observation Haki, the range is not large enough to be considered 'alert'.

The reason Oboro chose this route was precisely because of 'Rayleigh'.

During their last meeting, Oboro had already recorded the old man's soul fluctuations, so when they weren't too far apart, Oboro could determine whether Rayleigh was in the tavern. Judging from the dense soul fluctuations around them, the blockade of this area was even more difficult to break through than before. If they encountered obstacles here... even if they managed to break through, it would be enough for Kizaru to catch up.

The only person Kizaru.

Even if Aokiji and Akainu were to come, they couldn't possibly be that fast.

Oboro's gaze met Rayleigh's, their eyes seemingly meeting across the distance.

Rayleigh seems to be laughing...

And Oboro gently raised the corners of her mouth.

Will you make a move?

Long is betting on something.

Even if Rayleigh doesn't help him, he has a way to get away.

We're just making use of this old guy a little.

With Shakky around, Rayleigh should already know what happened.

Upon seeing Oboro and Dom, Rayleigh would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised... He even thought Oboro was dead.

He admired Oboro's courage in attacking the Celestial Dragons... and also felt that Oboro was a mysterious and extraordinary person.

But to be honest, he didn't think Oboro could escape the navy's encirclement.

Because if it were him, even with his strength, it would be impossible for him to travel all the way from the auction house to here, such a long distance, without even the Navy discovering any trace of him... It's hard to imagine how Oboro managed to do it.

Simple disguises and concealment won't fool the navy.

Hahahaha.

Rayleigh took another swig of wine and burst into laughter.

"Tsk... Old man, hurry up and go inside."

The naval soldier in front, his brows furrowed, finally couldn't bear it any longer and turned back to urge him on.

To everyone's surprise, Rayleigh ignored him, suddenly stood up, and burst into maniacal laughter. His face was flushed, as if he had drunk too much. He was in high spirits and uttered incomprehensible nonsense, "These young people nowadays... are really something. I have to admit I'm getting old!"

"The future is promising."

After saying that, he swayed and walked down the hillside.

It was as if he had gone on a drunken rampage.

Didn't you hear me?

"Hurry up!"

"Stop him right now!"

"This old man has incredible strength! Come help me!"

Soon, a series of panicked screams rang out.
