The Grand Stage of Sabaody (2)
The navy has arrived.
Moreover, it is larger in scale than the original work.
Besides Kizaru, Sentomaru, and the Pacifista, there are two other Admiral candidates.
"Is she worried about me interfering?" Oboro wondered to himself.
Crocodile and Daz Bones from the Hell Pirates are currently not present; instead, they have gone to Water 7.
He smiled as he gazed at the crowd below the hill, which had suddenly become chaotic.
An atmosphere of panic was spreading.
The One Piece have received news from the port that those who think they've already lost their chance are preparing to run away.
However, some daring One Piece, whose turn was about to come and who longed for the blessing of the God Slayer, found themselves in a dilemma.
Dom, who was standing behind him, walked back from a short distance away and nodded to him.
This means the time is almost right.
The blessing... can be finished now.
Oboro slowly got up, intending to take Dom away.
He didn't intend to make any comments... Originally, these One Piece attracted here were not only to fulfill the original plan, but also to replenish the system's resource cards. Among them were One Piece with bounties of tens of millions or even close to a hundred million, and some of them were quite capable. Most importantly, the Navy would help without him having to lift a finger... Why not? In addition, establishing a reputation for divine power would make challenging Big Mom easier after entering the New World.
Firstly, it makes it easier to attract more "leeks" (victims) and have them act as sacrificial lambs.
Secondly, a large number of resource cards can also strengthen the combat power at the bottom level. To completely defeat the Yonko, it is not enough to just win against Charlotte Linlin. The reason why the Yonko have been able to dominate the resources and territory of the New World for many years is not only because their own strength is at a monstrous level, but also because the number of people under their command, that is, their 'soldiers', is outrageously large.
Summit War, the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet numbered tens of thousands... Charlotte Linlin's Totto Land was no less impressive.
Defeating Big Mom alone would only earn you the title of one of the Yonko, but it doesn't mean you can completely crush the Charlotte Family.
Everyone knows the Hell Pirates' infamous reputation, but this time, their generous blessing in the Sabaody Archipelago... will make many One Piece think that the God Slayer is worth 'joining'.
In terms of image building, Oboro handled it very well.
To put it bluntly, besides coercing the Five Elders, what Oboro wants to gain from this incident is a large number of low-level resource cards for the future battle of the Yonko.
The Summit War is a high-level resource card... its target is the Celestial Dragons.
They are not on the same level.
In the arena, some One Piece had already noticed that Oboro was about to leave. Some tried to persuade him to stay, while others ran even faster.
In their view, even the God Slayer didn't seem to want to have a direct conflict with the Navy, let alone small fry like them.
This time, the force that came was led by a naval admiral, a force that they could not contend with.
There was no other way out but to flee.
"Hazy!!!!!"
However, at this very moment...
A loud shout that resounded through the sky came from the crowd, making everyone freeze and stop in their tracks.
They all looked toward the source of the sound.
A sudden change has occurred!
"It's him!"
"Straw Hat".
"Monkey D. Luffy..."
The person who suddenly shouted was none other than Luffy late.
What is he going to do?
"Are you asking for blessings?"
Many people were surprised and uncertain.
Since the God Slayer bestowed his blessing here, no one has ever dared to shout the God Slayer's name as loudly as the Straw Hat. Are they tired of living? However, other members of the Worst Generation have also appeared and gained power during this time. The Straw Hat was the last to arrive, and logically speaking, he must have been anxious, afraid of losing this opportunity.
Oboro and Dom also turned around and looked at that conspicuous 'little black dot' in the sea of people.
"Snort!"
Dom let out a cold snort.
He thought he would never see the Straw Hat.
This guy... he's declared he'll fight them to the death with the Hell Pirates.
Seriously... I don't even know my own limitations.
Oboro's eyes, however, were quite calm.
Amidst the receding tide of people, some queues remained.
But I didn't linger for too long, afraid of wasting time.
This includes Trafalgar Law's Heart Pirates.
"Hey, Straw Hat Captain... the Navy is here. Whatever your grudges with them, I advise you to leave here immediately."
Law keenly realized that Luffy, like him, did not crave divine power, but rather came to cause trouble for the God Slayer.
Before leaving, he glanced at Luffy and kindly said something.
Seeing that Luffy remained unmoved, Law said nothing more and ran away with Bepo and the others.
There were also some fearless individuals, such as Eustass Kid, another member of the Worst Generation. He looked at the rather 'serious' Luffy with interest and said disdainfully, "Is this guy crazy?"
Luffy's hostility was too obvious.
To be honest, Eustass Kid in coming to Grove 5 was secondary: to acquire divine power. He simply wanted to see with his own eyes this God Slayer stirred up the seas. If possible, 'killing' him here on Sabaody Archipelago would undoubtedly prove that his Kid Pirates were stronger, capable of 'making a name for themselves' and overshadowing the 'brilliance' of the other Worst Generation members.
However, when he saw Oboro, especially the moment his eyes met those of the God Slayer, he gave up the idea.
He was very excited.
It's a fearful excitement.
Every cell in his body was trembling... as if that man could 'eat him' in a heartbeat.
Therefore, even someone as easily swayed as him was forced to suppress his desires by reason.
At least now, it's not the time to 'take them out'.
But the Straw Hat was even more arrogant than him when he appeared, and wanted to openly challenge him to a fight.
Eustass Kid thought the straw hat was even dumber than him! After this thought flashed through his mind, Eustass Kid's lips twitched, as if... he had insulted himself as well.
Luffy pressed down on his straw hat with one hand, revealing only one eye with a cold gaze as he stared at the hill where Oboro and Dom were.
Then, I walked over step by step.
It wasn't just him who came; it was the entire Straw Hat Pirates.
Everyone assumed a fighting stance.
"Skypiea is not a place where you can do whatever you want... I have promised Wiper and Grandpa Ganful that I will protect it."
"And... Water 7 you can destroy at will... A guy like you doesn't deserve to be One Piece!"
Luffy spoke each word clearly, and then changed from walking to running.
It rushed towards the top of the mountain.
The one who said he wanted to destroy Water 7 was Crocodile.
To Luffy and his crew, this was clearly the meaning of "Oboro".
Seeing Luffy launch his attack, Zoro and the others quickly coordinated, forming a formation and rushing over.
"Want to die? Trash..."
Dom flicked his wrist, and a gleaming silver blade spun up, ready to kill Luffy... This Straw Hat is being a bit too presumptuous with his captain.
Oboro grabbed Dom.
Firstly, fighting is pointless, and secondly, Oboro has already sensed a subtle presence nearby.
Rayleigh, the Pluton.
The old man... finally came.
"This guy... is he really going to make a move!"
In the distance, Killer, wearing a mask, exclaimed in surprise.
Straw Hat, you're so brave!
Luffy dashed up the hillside, his arms lengthening as he swung them behind him, preparing to unleash his classic Gum-Gum Rocket.
The look in his eyes was unwavering.
"Only you... I do not wish to bestow power upon you."
Long stepped forward a few steps and said calmly.
He didn't want Luffy to awaken Gear Fifth prematurely.
Luffy is one of the few characters in this world who can truly threaten him.
Although... not yet.
