The Key to Shaking the World!

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

Locke's expression twisted as he felt the pain in his body.

Their weapons are really powerful!

Then, he climbed out of the cave, came outside, looked at Luffy, and said, "This is... infighting?"

Damn it, they dared to fight amongst themselves while fighting those two brothers! Are they looking down on them?

Scotch clearly shared this thought, hence his extremely angry expression.

"You will pay for this," Scotch said coldly.

Having said that, he raised his weapon and aimed it at the summit of the Iceberg mountain, saying, "Enjoy the gifts of nature!"

The next moment, the trigger was pulled.

"Boom!!"

The Iceberg hit by the cannonball immediately broke apart and then crashed down on Luffy and his crew below.

"Go to hell, Straw Hat!"

"Iceberg impact!"

Upon seeing this, Perona immediately shouted, "Luffy, Franky, stop fighting! Look up!"

"Top of the head?"

Luffy above him; why was Iceberg falling down?

"In such a confined space, there's no way you can dodge Iceberg," Locke said with a sneer. "Plus, with my specially designed tranquilizer darts... you're all doomed!"

Having said that, Locke prepared to pull the trigger.

But before he could make a move, he saw Franky suddenly jump up and grab the enormous Iceberg.

Then, he shifted the blame onto the Iceberg.

Locke:???

Locke was dumbfounded when he saw the Iceberg rushing towards his face.

How did this monster manage to do something like that?

Is this reasonable?

Damn it... I can't escape it now!

"Boom!!"

Locke screamed in agony after being hit, then rolled his Byakugan back and lost consciousness.

"This is... killed?"

Perona stared in disbelief at what she was seeing. Franky had gone berserk and managed to kill the enemy?

That's quite capable.

"Well done, Franky!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

After taking down this guy, only one was left!

"Awoo?!"

Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Franky focused his gaze on him and then raised his large hand to launch an attack.

"Bump!"

"Hey, hurry up and give me some space!" Luffy shouted as he dodged the attack.

"No, he can't hear us at all right now," Merry called out from nearby. "Luffy, let's quiet him down first."

Letting Franky continue causing trouble isn't a solution, so it's best to calm him down first.

"That's the only way."

After saying that, Luffy took off his gloves and then transformed his fist into a giant form.

Gear Third!

Armament Haki: Hardening!

"Rubber Elephant Gun!"

"Boom!!"

An incredibly heavy fist slammed into Franky's face, sending him flying and crashing into the Iceberg, where he lost consciousness.

"Huh?!"

"Eh!!!"

Seeing Franky back to normal, Merry was dumbfounded.

"Hey, Luffy, didn't you go a little too far?!"

Isn't this the move meant to beat up Kraken? Why are you using it on Franky?

He wasn't beaten to death, was he...?

"Chopper's body is still quite sturdy, so I'll have to use a more powerful attack," Luffy said.

Otherwise, Franky would never have stopped his rampage.

That's true, but...

Seeing Franky starting to vomit blood, Merry didn't know what to say.

That's at least a serious injury.

Just then, Perona's exclamation came from above, which immediately attracted the attention of the people below.

"Is that guy planning to take Perona away?!" Luffy exclaimed, staring up at the sky. "Let's hurry and catch up!"

"What about Joe... Franky?"

"We'll get Chopper to treat him later," Luffy said. "The most important thing right now is to get Perona back."

After saying that, Luffy quickly rushed towards higher ground, clearly intending to stop the other person before they could leave.

"That's the only way."

After saying that, Merry activated her Power of Wind and flew up, quickly carrying Franky as they Luffy after Luffy.

Once they reached Luffy's side, they used their abilities to lift Luffy up and quickly rushed towards the high Scotch.

"Damn pirates."

After glancing back at the pursuers, Scotch said, "You just wait!"

At this point, he knew he was no match for these pirates, so he didn't intend to force a fight with them.

After we reunite with our master and the others, we can go and fight these guys.

After letting out a cold laugh, Scotch quickly rushed to the highest point and landed steadily on the ground.

Then, Scotch noticed the man standing not far away.

"Um?"

"Click click click~"

"Isn't this Trafalgar, the freeloader?" Scotch said with a smirk. "You've come at just the right time!"

"The Straw Hat are on their way here, so you'll come with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Luo calmly raising his hand.

"ROOM!"

"Puff!"

With one stroke, he was cut in half at the waist!

"Huh?"

"Eh!!"

Scotch was stunned when he realized he had been cleaved in two, then angrily shouted, "What the hell are you doing?!"

He actually attacked his own people... Is he trying to betray his master?!

Thinking of this, Scotch took out the long knife at his waist, intending to kill Luo.

Unfortunately... Law was faster than him!

Just before he was about to make his move, Luo was already in front of him, placing his hand on his heart.

"Heart Shock!"

"Boom!!"

An incredibly terrifying force acted upon Scotch, causing his heart to stop beating!

In the end, this arrogant Snowman died at Luo's hands.

Perona, who had been watching the whole thing, frowned. Why were these two fighting?

Shouldn't they be working together? Is this infighting?

Although she didn't know what was going on, Perona didn't pay much attention to it.

The most urgent thing is to get my body back.

Thinking of this, Perona shouted, "Your name is Trafalgar Law, right? Give us back our bodies!"

Upon hearing Perona's words, Law turned his gaze to her, but remained silent, simply observing her.

Perona felt a little uneasy under that gaze.

Just then, Merry flew down from below with Luffy and Franky, and then noticed Law standing not far away.

"Tra-man!"

Luffy grinned and said, "I didn't expect to see you here again. Did you save Perona?"

"Thank you!"

"Save?"

Merry watched Law warily. This guy had swapped Nami ' bodies before, and now he was saving them...

What exactly is he trying to do?

Thinking of this, Merry looked at Perona and said, "Was it him who saved you?"

"Um."

Although I really dislike this guy, he was indeed the one who killed that Snowman.

Upon hearing this, Merry was even more puzzled. What exactly was this guy trying to do?

Luo ignored their reactions and walked aside, saying, "Saving people was just a side thing; the main reason I wanted to talk to you is about something, Straw Hat Leader."

"You wanted to talk to me about something?"

Luffy, who was about to help Perona remove the Sea Stone chains binding her, paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"Go and talk to him."

Merry walked over and said, "This is Sea Stone chain; you can't unlock it."

Luffy agreed, realizing that as Devil Fruit User, he couldn't help Perona break the Sea Stone chains, so he passed the task on to Merry.

Then, Luffy up to Law and said, "What is it? Tell me."

"You must have come here by chance, and you don't know what's on this island." Luo looked at the laboratory in the distance, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Now, I can tell you with certainty that there is a key on this island that can disrupt the New World!"

If used properly, this key might even be able to unlock the whole world!

"Key?"

Luffy frowned at Law and said, "What are you talking about?"

What world?

What key?

What is all this nonsense?

He can't understand a word of it.

Law wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Luffy seriously and said, "Do you know what the ways are to survive in the New World?"

What is it?

"Either receive the protection of the Four Emperors, or continue to challenge them."

After saying that, Luo paused for a moment, then continued, "You're not the kind of person who would submit to others, are you?"

Based on his understanding of Straw Hat, the other party wasn't the type to be someone's lackey.

After all... he even dared to fight Celestial Dragons!

"Of course," Luffy said without hesitation. "I still want to be the captain, so it's impossible for me to join someone else's crew."

He had already made this clear two years ago: even if the people who came were from the Four Emperors Crew, he would not agree to become their subordinate!

After all... he's going to be the Pirate King!

How could someone like him possibly be willing to be someone else's underling?

Upon hearing this, Luo's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Then form an alliance with me."

"An alliance?"

"That's right, an alliance." Luo nodded and said, "If I form an alliance with you, perhaps we can make it happen."

"Want to give it a try, Straw Hat Leader ~"

"I have a strategy that can bring down one of the Four Emperors!"

If he can use it properly, he is confident that he can bring down Kaido of the Beasts!

At the same time... we can also take down that bastard Doflamingo!

Thinking of this, Luo's eyes began to flicker.

"The Four Emperors..."

Merry looked at Law in surprise, clearly not expecting that the purpose of their alliance was to defeat the Four Emperors.

Perona stared intently at Law and said, "You mean, if we ally with you, we can defeat one of the Four Emperors?"

"Why does this sound a little off...?"

Although she didn't know the other person's purpose in saying such things, Perona instinctively felt that something was off about them.

Thinking of this, Perona turned to Luffy and said, "Luffy, don't agree so easily."

That sounds a bit far-fetched.

Luffy didn't say anything upon hearing this, but stared at Law, intending to see what else he would say.

Seeing this, Law explained, "I'm not saying we can defeat the Four Emperors immediately, but... if we follow the steps in the battle, we can find the opportunity to defeat him!"

After speaking, Rodin paused for a moment, then looked at Luffy and said, "So, Straw Hat Leader?"

"The Four Emperors..."

After recalling their relationships with the Four Emperors, Luffy asked, "Which Four Emperors are you talking about?"

If the other person is referring to Shanks, then he won't get involved.

After all... Shanks is his friend!!

"Luffy?"

Perona and Merry both looked at Luffy with some doubt. Could this guy really be planning to form an alliance with the other side?

"I want to know who he's talking about," Luffy said.

Seeing what Luffy had said, Perona and Merry didn't say anything more.

"Kaido of the Beasts," Law said calmly, "The Four Emperors I'm referring to is the governor of the Beast Pirates, Kaido of the Beasts!"

Perona was stunned when she heard this.

If I remember correctly, Lord Moria was possibly captured by one of the Four Emperors.

That...

As if she had just thought of something, Perona subconsciously wanted to say something.

But she swallowed the words back down her throat, because she couldn't be so selfish.

Merry looked at Perona with some concern.

"Sister Perona..."

"Fine."

Perona gently shook her head and said, "I respect Luffy's decision."

As if he could hear his crewmates behind him, Luffy's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Then he said, "Okay, I'll do it."

"My partner happens to need to talk to that guy about something, so choosing him is fine."

"Huh?!"

Perona suddenly raised her head and looked at Luffy with an incredulous gaze.

Luffy actually...

"That's wonderful, Perona!" Merry smiled and hugged Perona's arm, clearly happy for her.

Perona pursed her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Luffy, you..."

"Perfect timing, we can go find that Moria guy," Luffy grinned at Perona.

Looking at the boy grinning at her, Perona paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

Luffy simply smiled and said nothing more.

Luo, who had witnessed all of this, revealed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What's going on with the Straw Hat Pirates...?

Aren't they all of one mind?

For some reason, Luo suddenly regretted saying those words.

But now that he'd already said it, he couldn't take it back, after all... he couldn't silence him.

Thinking of this, Luo sighed silently in his heart.

'Never mind, there shouldn't be any problems.'

This guy is, after all, Supernovas from the same era as him, so forming an alliance shouldn't be a problem.

Having silently made up his mind about this, Law said, "Then... from today onwards, we are a pirate alliance."

"No problem~"

Luffy grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "I look forward to the day I see Kaido of the Beasts!"

Once he defeats that guy, he'll become a super powerful pirate.

When that time comes, he'll be able to meet Shanks.

Thinking of this, Luffy smiled even more broadly.

Then Luffy said, "Let's go back first."

Anyway, he couldn't remember the details, so he didn't plan to ask Tra-man here.

Once he's with his companions, they'll naturally help him remember!

"Let's go then."
