Your Resistance Is Futile

Splash!

Kaka's mangled remains were scattered all over the ground.

Dom and the others around him had different expressions upon seeing this, but there was no significant emotional fluctuation.

They all clearly saw Kaka try to attack the captain.

"So... it's him then."

Waldo burst into laughter.

Besides Rob Lucci hiding on the ship as a CP9 agent, Oboro had also hinted that there was an 'insider'.

For example, when the Gran Tesoro of Gran Tesoro was destroyed, Oboro mentioned this to Rob Lucci.

It must be said that the members of the Hell Pirates have different personalities and joined with different ideas and stances.

Apart from Dom and Yurivich, who can be absolutely trusted, everyone else is merely a 'community of interest'.

But because Oboro is there, as the captain, even if everyone has different ideas, Oboro can ensure absolute stability.

Since joining the ship, Kaka quickly integrated into the 'circle' through his personality and social skills, and no one ever doubted him, including Oboro.

Unlike Rob Lucci, who knew Kaka's identity from the beginning... when did he guess Kaka's identity?

In the naval battle Hell Pirates and the Navy at Reverse Mountain, in addition to the underground forces hired by Doflamingo, and the participation of Kaido and Big Mom, the Revolutionary Army also secretly helped the Hell Pirates disrupt the Navy's ship formation.

First, the Revolutionary Army launched its sabotage operation from within the Navy's formation, rather than exerting pressure from the outside like the two Yonko... This shows that the Revolutionary Army had been planning this for a long time.

While the possibility of Doflamingo leaking information from the underworld certainly played a role, the Revolutionary Army's actions and timing were impeccable... It seemed they had complete knowledge of the Hell Pirates' movements. At that time, Joker's cooperation with Oboro hadn't reached this level, and given Oboro's fear of the Five Elders and her exceptional personal abilities, she most likely ruled out the possibility of an underworld intelligence leak.

Otherwise, if the Revolutionary Army obtained the information from the outside world and knew about it in advance, the World Government would not have remained silent... At least on the surface, the World Government's intelligence capabilities are still stronger than the Revolutionary Army's.

Not to mention, Rob Lucci was already on the ship at that time.

Therefore, the only possibility is... there is a traitor.

Monkey D. Dragon's pieces.

People of the Revolutionary Army.

To put it simply, Kaka planned to ambush him in order to save the 'Prince'.

This also means...

Thinking of this, Long smiled.

"Yaha!"

Suddenly, a hill rose high from the ground beside Oboro, and then the soil exploded open, revealing a huge figure wielding a harpoon.

And as soon as it appeared, it swung its harpoon and charged straight at the Oboro standing below.

However, when this person saw the mangled corpse next to Oboro, his expression clearly changed.

Morley, commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army, Giants of the race and a user of the Push-Push Fruit.

Long raised his head slightly, narrowing his eyes as he faced the descending killing move.

The next second, there was a loud bang.

The harpoon went out of control and fell, embedding itself in the ground.

Morley's body was immediately crushed and exploded by the airflow, turning into blood and gore.

Blood dripped down from above, but because of the airflow, it did not stain Mu in the slightest.

Killing Luffy isn't that easy... The world's will will definitely try every means to stop them.

It's obvious that Monkey D. Dragon immediately took action after learning in advance that he was going to Luffy. The reason why the Revolutionary Army was unable to transfer Luffy and Rayleigh away in advance or notify them was because Oboro's decision to kill Luffy was sudden and without any prior warning. Moreover, because of Oboro's ability, the Blood Pluton could not sail on the sea, so its speed was naturally quite fast. Even if the Revolutionary Army took countermeasures after receiving the news, they could not outrun the Hell Pirates.

Morley was also a successful escapee from Impel Down, but he is little known and his escape wasn't as sensational as that of the Shiki. At least on the surface, the Shiki is considered the first person to Impel Down. The Newkama Land inside Impel Down was actually Morley's creation during his escape, and was later modified by Emporio Ivankov.

If Oboro's prediction is correct, the Revolutionary Army's plan should be to have Kaka, as one of their own, ambush Luffy, and then at the same time, Morley would appear and save Luffy during the opportunity created by Kaka.

But unfortunately... the current Oboro has been 'reborn'.

Rayleigh stared at the man standing in the rain of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Rayleigh was unaware of the Revolutionary Army's appearance... but Morley, as the Squadron Leader, suddenly burst out of the ground. His concealment of his aura and release of his Haki were both of a very high standard, and the timing of his attack was also very clever. Even if Oboro possessed the strength of a top-tier Yonko, it was impossible for him to... with just a glance, Oboro died instantly.

How powerful must Oboro's abilities be to easily destroy a powerful sea warrior, making even Haki as fragile as paper under its influence? "Quack quack quack."

Then, another unexpected event occurred.

A large flock of black crows suddenly appeared in the sky.

Like a black, demonic wind, it swooped down towards the ground.

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Long's mouth.

They didn't even glance at it.

It was just a thought.

Countless coal ash Karasu were blasted into dust, and one elemental figure was trapped in the air by the airflow, unable to move.

Karasu, Squadron Leader of the Revolutionary Army, is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the power of the Soot-Soot Fruit.

"How is this possible?!"

The Karasu, draped in a black feathered coat, pale-faced, and wearing a metal beak-shaped mask, was terrified.

He tried to break free from the pressure of the 'airflow', but found that even with all his domineering Haki and his limbs stretched outwards to the point of trembling, he still couldn't move an inch, let alone break free.

Moreover, due to the blockade of airflow, he had no way to transfer elements.

What kind of intensity is this? It's beyond his comprehension.

On the ground, Oboro still held Luffy in his arms, smiling slightly, "I didn't kill the Straw Hat immediately because I wanted to see... what tricks you guys could pull."

Or rather, it is a resistance from the will of the world.

"All the information you know about me is outdated... The real me comes after the Totto Land."

"Although it's not as powerful as it was at its peak, it's enough."

As Long spoke, two clusters of eerie green flames suddenly ignited in his pupils.

In an instant, it seemed as if a cold wind swept across the entire island.

It was icy cold.

The pseudo-elixir form in his Tanaka had already made his abilities, flesh and blood, and soul even more transcendent.

Nearby, the members of the Hell Pirates also began to grin maliciously.

They haven't interfered because... they know the captain doesn't need it.

Moreover, it was a pleasure to see the captain display such God power; it was truly a sight to behold!

A massive surge of soul energy radiated from Oboro, emanating across the entire island, including the sea and the sky.

"Hmph... He didn't come. He's really cautious."

Lonely teased.

He was referring to Monkey D. Dragon.

It's worth noting that when Straw Hats almost got into trouble in Loguetown, Oboro personally showed up to protect his son.

But he himself didn't come.

Only two Squadron Leader were dispatched, Morley and Karasu, both possessing formidable abilities and strength, especially given the unique nature of their powers. Karasu's Devil Fruit ability makes him the best candidate to teleport Luffy and rescue him...

Most likely it stems from self-doubt.

Even on the ship, Oboro displayed a great deal of ability and information about himself, yet he still maintained a mysterious image among all the crew members. Why? Because everyone felt that the information they currently had about Oboro was only a part of his full power... Every now and then, the methods Oboro demonstrated would refresh their understanding.

Without knowing the full story, Monkey D. Dragon dared not take the risk.

Given Oboro's actions— the Sabaody Incident, his rise to power in the North Blue, the defeat of Shiki, the Battle of Reverse Mountain, his sermon at Sabaody Archipelago, the destruction of the Gran Tesoro, and his defeat of Big Yonko —facing such power might require mobilizing the entire Revolutionary Army. This is because the Hell Pirates aren't just Oboro; they also include executives like Bare. As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon wouldn't allow all his crew members to sacrifice their lives for his son. With his magnanimity, he can calmly analyze the pros and cons and make a choice.

Even though Luffy's death was something he found extremely difficult to accept.

Getting Morley and Karasu to take action was already the best he could do.

If even Morley and the Karasu's cooperation with Kaka failed, plus Rayleigh... then no matter how many people are mobilized, it will be superfluous.

The only thing he could do was rely on the help of others.

He wasn't a good father, but there was someone who was exactly the opposite.

She would give up everything for Luffy.

Especially after Ace's death, it brought about a profound impact and change in this person.

Beneath the black brim of his hat, Long's eerie eyes fixed on the Karasu 'fixed' high in the sky. The man immediately drooled, his eyes rolling upwards as if his brain was under 'high pressure' and he was making some kind of resistance.

Strange noises were also coming from his throat.

However, he only lasted for less than a minute. As the airflow dissipated, his life force was completely depleted, and he fell from the sky.

He died.

That's right, Oboro directly crushed the opponent's soul with the soul pressure he knew all too well.

Whoosh! Another person was taken down, before Oboro could even turn his head back.

Suddenly, from the dense forest ahead, a black streak with explosive speed swept past Bare and Rayleigh, raising its iron fist and slamming it fiercely towards Oboro.

However, the man's fist was blocked by an invisible wall of air.

As the air barrier collided with the fist, tiny cracks appeared in the void.

"I knew you would come."

Long stood a few meters away from the person and smiled gently.

Before him stood Garp, the naval hero with a cold expression but angry eyes! He was also the Monkey D. Dragon sought help from.

"It's less about your struggles and more about the world's rebellion against me."

Oboro released Luffy, causing him to fall to the ground.

"I won't kill him right away... I want to see..."

Long Gang smiled and said half a sentence, then suddenly stopped.

Because a strange scene appeared in his consciousness, that is, in his sea of consciousness.

He... sensed the will of this world.

Unlike the Little Tree in Demon Slayer, this is a tall, upright, and lush giant tree.

The branches and leaves of the large tree trembled wildly, emitting a certain rhythm.

"It's too late to bow your head now..."

Long realized something; this was the world's will actively contacting him.

"Don't rush, I'll destroy you soon..."

"You will always pay the price for your stupidity."

"I... come from Hunter x Hunter. In that world, we never show mercy when dealing with enemies... It's a judgment of one world's will against another."

"This is also... a lesson I learned."
