" Chopper! Usopp!"
Suppressed at the very bottom, Luffy's vision was swallowed by darkness. All he could hear were the triumphant laughter of the pirates and the anxious shouts of his companions, interspersed with Chopper's painful and out-of-control roars.
Anger and anxiety burned fiercely in his chest, as if they were about to burst his body.
"I want--"
"I'll send you all flying!"
Upon hearing Chopper's roar again, Luffy suddenly unleashed a violent pressure from within him.
Buzz--
A very deep humming sound resounded in the space without warning, followed by a low-frequency vibration that spread to a radius of a hundred feet.
The pirate on the top floor froze instantly. He felt an immense force that made his soul tremble as it slammed into him. Then his eyes rolled back and he fell straight backward.
Immediately afterward, all the pirates still standing within a hundred feet radius, whether they were Luffy Usopp, chasing Usopp, or fighting Sabo and Zoro, all froze in their tracks.
The next second.
"Plop, plop, plop..."
The sounds of people falling to the ground were as dense as raindrops; thousands of pirates collapsed to the ground unconscious in an instant!
The "building blocks" of pirates piled on Luffy collapsed.
Luffy braced himself against the ground, staggered to his feet, panting heavily, and looked blankly at the "corpses" lying haphazardly around him, completely bewildered by what had happened.
But before he could think any further, Chopper's painful roar rang out again, instantly bringing him to his senses.
Chopper!
Luffy roared and charged towards the giant monster that was wreaking havoc.
at the same time.
On the rooftops of the tallest buildings on Hachinosu Island, several pirate captains who had joined Ochoku's crew were using binoculars to observe the battle that had spread across the island.
"Damn it! Another Conqueror's Haki?" The captain couldn't help but curse, his eyes filled with horror. "Where did Akira find such a group of monsters?!"
A captain with a scar on his face standing nearby looked equally grim. "A bunch of interns have driven us to this point. If Akira, that god of death, were to personally come, Hachinosu Island... I'm afraid not even one-tenth would survive!"
"Not even one in ten survives?" The captain sneered. "What kind of dream are you having? Since Akira launched his coup, have you ever seen him show mercy to any pirate? The Charlotte Family of the Big Mom Pirates wasn't wiped out, but what about the Beasts Pirates? Completely annihilated! Not a single one left! Now he's leading this bunch of monsters to Hachinosu Island. Do you think he'll show any mercy and let only one in ten survive?"
"Abandon illusions, prepare for battle!" The captain's tone was icy. "In this battle, we have only one choice: to stand firmly with Ochoku! Even if we can't win, we must unite as one to have any chance of survival!"
As he spoke, he raised the binoculars again, pointing the lens at the gigantic monster Chopper, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Our survival depends on whether we can capture these interns alive!"
He lowered his binoculars and commanded rapidly, "Pass down the order! Gather everyone and take down that monster at all costs! And that long-nosed one at its feet!"
"Especially that one with the long nose! He's the weakest of these interns! If we can catch him, our chances of winning will double!"
"Yes!" A henchman next to him immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi.
Before he could dial the number, three piercing whistling sounds came from below.
Immediately afterwards, three figures dressed in combat suits appeared on the rooftop with astonishing speed, leaping out of the ground in a single bound.
The leader, Ichiji, hovered in mid-air, his crimson cloak fluttering behind him. He looked down at the group on the rooftop, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and said, "Found you."
Before the words were even finished, the three brothers simultaneously swooped down!
"Spark!"
"Electric shock!"
"Winch!"
Three beams of light of different colors intertwined to form a net of death, instantly enveloping the entire rooftop. These captains, who were somewhat well-known in the New World, had no time to make any effective reaction.
In a single glance, the three were pierced by a beam of light and fell from the high-rise building with screams.
The remaining two narrowly escaped the first wave of attacks thanks to their extensive combat experience, but the attacks from the three Ichiji brothers were relentless, giving them no chance to catch their breath.
Another street.
Basil Hawkins walked down the street expressionlessly, behind him a giant scarecrow wielding nails, smashing all the pirates who charged at him into a bloody pulp.
Sniper shots kept coming, the bullets hitting Hawkins ' body precisely, but then mysteriously transferring to the scarecrow, leaving wisps of smoke behind.
After pushing his way out of the street, Hawkins headed straight for the huge castle where Ochoku was located.
Just as he was about to rush to the square in front of the castle, a cold shout came from ahead.
"ROOM: Slaughtering Space!"
Trafalgar Law's figure had appeared in the center of the square without anyone noticing, and a huge blue hemispherical field instantly unfolded.
With a flash of light, the heads of dozens of pirates guarding the castle flew into the air, their bodies still standing, creating an extremely bizarre scene.
Am I still a step too late?
Hawkins looked up toward the castle gate, his eyes narrowing slightly.
In front of the castle gate, Ochoku's obese body resembled a mountain of flesh, with dozens of powerful pirate captains standing behind him, all of whom were his most elite fighting force.
He looked at Law and Hawkins, who had arrived one after the other, a cold glint in his small eyes, and praised them without reservation, "Not bad, they got here so quickly. No wonder they are trainees personally trained by the Navy Marshal."
After a slight pause, Ochoku suddenly changed the subject, and the terrifying aura of a powerful figure from the old era burst forth from his body, "However, you two brats dare to come here? Aren't you underestimating me, Ochoku? After all, I was a legend who participated in the God Valley Incident back in the day!"
"A legend?" Hawkins pulled out a tarot card. "Since I started sailing, this is the first time I've heard someone call themselves a legend!"
Upon hearing this, Ochoku revealed a cruel smile, his gaze fixed intently on Hawkins and Luo.
"Kids, you're pretty confident!"
"As your senior, I have a piece of advice for you before you die!"
"On the Grand Line, especially on the vast oceans of the New World, overconfidence can cost you your life."
"So, are you prepared to die here?"
Ochoku's voice was filled with the arrogance of a powerful figure from the old era, as if he had already pronounced a death sentence on Luo and Hawkins.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a roar even more arrogant than his voice exploded from behind the two of them.
"Who said it's just the two of them?"
Before the sound faded, the flames arrived first!
Suddenly, a dilapidated outer wall of the castle exploded and collapsed. A figure, enveloped in flames, shot towards him like a cannonball, melting the rubble and bricks along the way the moment it touched his body.
