Stopping a Marine Admiral All By Myself

"I really am up there."

Sabo rubbed his temples, a slight headache on his face, and said, "This guy's information really gets there fast."

He had a feeling before that Doflamingo would include him, and it turned out that he really did.

Usopp, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

'Great, I haven't been exposed yet...'

Someone with his strength couldn't possibly be ranked above Luffy and his crew, so he felt he definitely hadn't been exposed.

In this way, he would be completely safe.

But Doflamingo's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.

"This last guy is the one who annoys me the most today!" Doflamingo said with a sneer. "He's the one who pushed you into this cruel game!"

"Whoever can behead this culprit will receive a bounty of 500 million Beli!"

The next moment, Usopp's image appeared on the live stream screen, which terrified Usopp so much that his fur stood on end.

"Huh?!?"

Seeing that familiar scene, Usopp was so shocked that his eyes bulged out, his face filled with disbelief.

Why is his name here?

Five hundred million?

Five hundred million!

Isn't this going to kill him, you bastard!

"Something terrible has happened, Uso Landu..."

Leo's face immediately turned ugly as he looked at the men around him who were giving him ill-intentioned looks.

Doflamingo's move was truly disgusting, turning these guys into their enemies.

"The five-star is right there!" a man exclaimed excitedly. "Kill him, and the five hundred million will be ours!"

"There are two one-star and one three-star over there too!"

"Hahahaha, kill them and take the bounty!"

"Profound!!"

If they can take down these guys, they'll have more Beli than they can ever spend in their lifetime!

Hahahaha.

"Sabo, what should we do?" Klar asked, her face grim.

If they don't find a way, they'll be killed by these greedy guys.

Sabo pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then pointed to the gap and said, "Everyone, get back to the surface first, and be quick!"

"Knew!"

Leo and the others nodded, then quickly lifted Usopp and started moving.

Seeing this, Nicole Robin and the others quickly followed.

"Great God Usopp, I'm so sorry," the charging men said with a sneer, "For that money, you'd better just accept your fate and die!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"These guys..."

Usopp looked at the group with a grim expression and said, "They were just worshipping me, and now they want my head..."

Is this the humanity that Xi Yan spoke of?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Leo, run!"

"Know!"

Leo nodded upon hearing Usopp's words, then sped up, quickly carrying Usopp away into the distance.

"Robin!" Kin'emon said, "I must hurry to Kanjuro's location, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Profound!"

Kin'emon nodded, then turned and ran in another direction without hesitation, completely ignoring the men with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Hey, there's still a one-star enemy escaping over there!"

Noticing Kin'emon and his group of men, he exclaimed excitedly, "They're samurai with a hundred million Beli!"

"Go, take him down."

"Profound!"

"What a hassle."

Kin'emon frowned as he glanced at the group. While he didn't particularly care about them, if Kanjuro were to remain here, he might...

Never mind them for now.

Then, Kin'emon rushed to a huge hole.

"This must be the entrance the Tontatta mentioned that leads directly to the Scrapyard," Kin'emon murmured. "Will Kanjuro really be inside?"

"Don't run! One hundred million Beli!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Kin'emon gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, let's go down and check it out first."

After saying that, Kin'emon without hesitation, leaving the pursuers who came after him completely dumbfounded.

"How did this person jump in?"

"I don't know..."

What about the 100 million Beli?

"Forget it, aren't there still others? Let's go kill them!"

"Profound!"

Realizing they couldn't kill Kin'emon, the group changed direction and chased after Usopp and the others.

"Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

"What a hassle."

Bartolomeo frowned and glanced back, then crossed his arms and activated his Devil Fruit ability.

The next moment, a barrier appeared in front of him.

Bartolomeo then pushed the barrier forward, sending a group of people flying.

"Break through the barrier!"

"Bump!"

"Ah!"

The person who was knocked away immediately screamed in agony.

"Stop chasing us, you bastards!" Bartolomeo shouted, "Or I'll kill you all!"

After giving the warning, Bartolomeo turned and chased after Sabo.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Perona's arms suddenly rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Um?"

Perona instinctively took out her Den Den Mushi and said, "Who could it be at this time?"

As she spoke, Perona connected the Den Den Mushi.

"Kaga ~"

It's me.

"Zoro."

Upon hearing this, Perona smiled and said, "You didn't get lost without me, did you?"

"How could I possibly get lost!" Zoro retorted, dissatisfied.

That's true, but the guy still breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the fact that Perona can answer the phone means she's still alive and well.

"Where are you now?" Nicole Robin asked, leaning closer.

Robin?

"I'm with Luffy and the others right now." Zoro turned and glanced around, saying, "We're currently in a place called... I think it's King's Plateau."

After speaking, Zoro paused for a moment, then said with a headache, "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated now."

He originally thought they could just kill Doflamingo directly, but things turned out this way.

This is really...

"Robin."

Luffy snatched the Den Den Mushi and said, "Did you see that really annoying Doflamingo just now?"

"He actually put a bounty on our head! How despicable!"

"But... I laughed so hard when Usopp showed up, hahaha."

"What did you say, Luffy?!"

Usopp immediately objected. Did that bastard Luffy have a problem with his heroic appearance?

He's a man with a bounty of 500 million Beli!

Five hundred million shells...

Damn it, why is there a 500 million Beli on his head?

The thought of this made Usopp's heart ache.

Luffy burst into laughter, because in his view, a high bounty was a recognition of his strength.

Luffy then continued, "Rebecca's name was also on that list. Is she alright now?"

"I'm right here, Lucy," Rebecca quickly came over and said, "I'm alright."

"Oh, that's perfect. The soldier is with me now, he..."

Luffy realized something was wrong before he could finish speaking: why was that soldier gone?

"Huh?"

Where are the soldiers?

Upon hearing this, Violet and the others were dumbfounded. Why had that guy suddenly disappeared?

"Could it be that guy...?"

King Riku's expression changed, clearly indicating that he had considered a certain possibility.

Could that guy have gone to find Doflamingo alone?

This proved to be true; Kyros was indeed heading towards the area where Doflamingo was located.

As for those who block the way?

He used them all as speed bumps.

"Hey, Lucy, has the Soldier returned to human form too?" Rebecca asked nervously. "What does he look like?"

"What does it look like?"

Luffy paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why are you asking me this? Isn't he your father?"

"It's that old man with the bronze statue in the Colosseum."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Rebecca immediately stopped in her tracks, her body beginning to tremble involuntarily.

That Soldier... was he actually her father?

Mr. Taxi Soldiers, who had been with her for ten years, was her father!

At that moment, the Soldier's appearance completely overlapped with the man in her memory, which brought tears of emotion to Rebecca's eyes.

"Father..."

"Rebecca."

Nicole Robin reached out and gently patted the little girl, saying, "That's wonderful."

"Um!"

Rebecca nodded, her face streaked with tears. It was wonderful that her father could regain his human form!

Luffy smiled upon hearing this, then said seriously, "Although I don't know where the soldiers have gone, listen, Rebecca!"

"You can't cry now. I absolutely won't let the soldiers lose their lives, and you must stay safe too, understand?"

"I'm truly sorry I can't give you the Diamond Fruit you wanted, but as compensation..."

Luffy looked up at the enormous New Royal Palace and said, "I'm going to beat that bastard Doflamingo to a pulp!"

"You absolutely mustn't leave my companions' side! I'll end this boring game right away. You have to survive, okay!"

As long as Rebecca stays by her friends' side, she can survive safely.

"Um!"

Rebecca, covering her face, nodded, indicating that she understood.

She absolutely must not die before seeing her father!

Then, as if remembering something, Rebecca asked, "Lucy, is Mr. Wanhao alright?"

"Mr. Wanhao?"

Nicole Robin, standing to the side, paused, wondering who they were talking about.

Luffy was also visibly taken aback, not immediately recognizing who Rebecca was referring to.

"That's your companion."

Rebecca added another sentence, which made Luffy realize who she was talking about—it was Xi Yan.

He's alright.

Luffy looked up at the town in the distance and said, "He went to find Marine Admiral."

Upon hearing this, Nicole Robin immediately understood who the two were referring to.

Who else but Xi Yan could stop Marine Admiral?

"Looking for Marine Admiral?"

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief at first, then looked puzzled. What did she mean by going to find Marine Admiral?

What does he want with the Marine Admiral?

Could it be that they want the Navy to deal with Doflamingo?

But aren't they pirates?

Wouldn't pirates walking into the Navy's trap be like walking into a trap?

Thinking of this, Rebecca said, "Lucy, isn't Mr. Wanhao just walking into a trap by going to see Marine Admiral?"

"You..."

Don't worry.

Luffy interrupted with a laugh, "His strength is quite formidable."

In Luffy's view, Xi Yan is absolutely incapable of losing to Marine Admiral, so there is no need to worry about Xi Yan's safety.

You could even say that Xi Yan is the Straw Hat Pirates that needs the least attention.

"This..."

Rebecca pursed her lips. That was Marine Admiral, after all.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Nico Robin said. "Trust us."

"All right."

Seeing that Nico Robin and Luffy had both said so, Rebecca didn't say anything more.

Bartolomeo then exclaimed excitedly, "So, the guy in Sunglasses actually went to see Marine Admiral?"

"That's so cool!!"

To prevent the Marine Admiral from harming his comrades, he chose to go alone to stop the Navy Headquarters' Greatest Battle Power...

This man is so handsome!

As if a certain image had flashed before his eyes, Bartolomeo's body trembled with excitement, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Sabo:???

"What have you been thinking about now?" Sabo said with a look of disgust.

As he spoke, Sabo shifted to the side, as if afraid of getting his snot on the guy's body.

But Bartolomeo didn't care at all and remained immersed in his own world.

"They're here!" shouted the pursuers. "Don't let them get away!"

"Here we go again?"

Upon hearing these voices, Bartolomeo snapped out of his daze and then gave them a look of utter disdain.

These people are like leeches, clinging to us like glue.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go outside and talk," Sabo said.

As he spoke, his body moved first.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed, but before leaving, Perona released a large number of Negative Ghost.

"Negative Hollows!"

"Buzz~"

A large number of Negative Ghost rushed out from Perona's side and headed straight for the group behind her.

The next moment...

"Buzz~"

One by one, the people whose bodies had been pierced fell to their knees.

"I actually attacked my benefactor; I'm utterly despicable..."

"I'm not human! I'm not human!"

"If I could, I'd like to be a paramecium in my next life to atone for my sins..."

"Huh?"

Seeing their fallen comrades around them, those who had come to chase them immediately showed expressions of fear.

What the hell is this thing?

Why are our own people starting to kneel down and repent one after another?

"Hala hala hala~"

"Now you know Lihai!"

Perona, floating in mid-air, laughed loudly and said, "This is your punishment!"

"If you dare to chase us again, I'll let you taste the flavor of Ghost Bomb!"

After giving a warning, Perona turned and chased after her companions.
