Ruthless Attack

"What the hell is this thing?"

Looking at the enormous fist wreathed in Haki, Cavendish looked surprised and said, "A fist?"

A fist wreathed in Haki?

Whose fist?

Straw Hat?

If I'm not mistaken, that's Straw Hat's fist.

In other words... this guy fought his way up from below?

"Ya ho ho~"

Chinjao chuckled and said, "So that's how you climbed up... That's Lihai, no wonder you're Garp's grandson."

As he spoke, Chinjao subconsciously touched his head, clearly recalling the scene when Luffy hit him on the head with this move.

"Hey, huge boulders are flying towards us!" Dellinger shouted in an exaggerated tone, "We're going to get crushed!"

Upon hearing this, Gladius glanced at Dellinger with a hint of helplessness. When would this kid ever change his loud and boisterous personality?

After shaking his head inwardly, Gladius raised his arm towards the sky and decisively activated his Devil Fruit ability.

The next moment, the boulder he touched suddenly expanded and then exploded like a bomb, sending fragments flying into the distance.

"Straw Hat..."

Turning his head to look at Gladius, who had a giant fist, he said with a grim expression, "Since I can't find the Sunglasses Man, I'll use you as a guinea pig first."

At this moment, Gladius was filled with rage, and only the blood of his enemies could extinguish it!

Upon hearing this, baby5 turned to look at Gladius, her expression somewhat complicated.

Although she didn't know exactly how strong the Sunglasses Man was, someone who could fight Marine Admiral was someone Gladius couldn't possibly defeat.

However, considering that the other party was her partner, baby5 didn't say anything.

"Ya ho ho~"

"Straw Hat has arrived just in time!" Realizing that the enemy's attention was completely drawn to him, Chinjao decisively ran towards the steps ahead.

Once he gets there, he can climb up the slope and face Doflamingo directly!

"Oh no, Chinjao is charging at us!" a henchman shouted. "He's going to the third floor! Stop him!"

"Get out of here!"

Without any further words, Chinjao slapped one of the henchmen across the face, sending him flying.

This scene terrified the henchmen so much that they didn't dare to go up.

"Wow, that's amazing, we're no match for them..."

"What to do?"

"You bunch of useless wimps who love to yell and scream at the slightest provocation," Gladius said, walking over with a grim expression. "Keep a close eye on the enemy!"

He knew, of course, that these underlings couldn't defeat the enemy, but those who only knew how to shout and yell were rather useless.

"Yes!"

The henchmen, who had been yelled at, immediately shuddered, then turned and ran towards the enemy.

Whether or not to fight is another matter, but the attitude must be correct.

"So, what's the deal with this hole?"

Some henchmen walked up to the hole Luffy had created and said, "Was it punched out by the enemy?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's how it is."

"How terrifying, to think that this place could be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luffy's arm suddenly flew out from below and grabbed the ground.

"Huh?!"

"What is this?"

Seeing the arm that suddenly appeared, the henchmen almost peed their pants in fright.

Could this be another attack by the enemy?

Thinking of this, the group mustered their courage and approached, intending to try cutting it with their knives. But before they could even make a move, Luffy charged up from below.

"Rubber Rocket Cannon!"

"Bump!"

With a single strike, all the enemies blocking his way were sent flying!

"It's Straw Hat!"

Upon seeing the familiar figure in the air, the henchman in the distance immediately shouted, "He's here too!"

"Straw Hat?"

Upon hearing this, the henchmen in the distance immediately turned their attention to this area. Had the culprit who had caused all this commotion finally arrived?

Hahaha~

"Finally caught up!" Luffy grinned, "Successfully reached the Second Floor!"

After saying that, Luffy began to look around, searching for a way to reach the Royal Palace.

"Hurry up, Straw Hat Leader," Luo said, looking up. "Don't waste time here."

Although I don't know where the Donquixote Family's leaders are, being held up by these low-level thugs is definitely not a good thing, so it's best to catch up with the guys ahead as soon as possible.

"Profound!"

"Wait for me, Mingo!"

After letting out a shout, Luffy took off charging forward.

"Get out of my way, all of you!" Edio roared. "Don't get in my way!"

After saying that, Edio threw a powerful punch, which landed precisely on the enemy, causing an immediate explosion.

"Boom!!"

"You're the one who should step aside, Edio," Hajrudin said.

"What?"

Edio immediately gave Hajrudin a displeased look. What did this bastard mean by that?

"I will defeat Doflamingo to repay your kindness," Hajrudin said. "You may leave."

"You're the one who should step down!"

Lao Cai, who caught up from behind, said without any politeness, "I'm the one who's going to defeat Doflamingo, don't get in my way of repaying my debt of gratitude!"

"It's me!"

"It's me!"

As the three of them talked, they started glaring at each other, their eyes extremely sharp.

This scene left the henchmen in the distance somewhat stunned. What on earth was going on with these guys?

Is this a sign of internal strife?

If that's the case, then let them start fighting amongst themselves quickly, so they can reap the benefits!

Ha ha ha ha.

Unfortunately, Hajrudin and his group were all talk and no action; they never actually laid a hand on anyone.

After all, they knew that once they took action, there would be no way to undo the damage, so everyone exercised restraint.

"Get out of my way, brat." Suleiman, wielding his Kubikiribōchō, calmly looked at Dellinger who had approached him and said, "I'm in a hurry to get on my way, don't be stupid."

"Ah~"

"Hahaha~"

"How scary!"

Dellinger made a scared face, then quickly started circling around Suleiman, getting faster and faster.

"Hey~"

"Suleiman, what did you just call me?"

"Hey~"

Answer me.

Unfortunately, Suleiman had no intention of answering the guy's question.

'The speed is indeed very fast.'

Watching the rapidly moving Dellinger, he thought to himself, 'Unfortunately, my eyes can keep up with your speed.'

If he seizes the opportunity, he can take down this seemingly troublesome brat in one strike!

After a cold laugh to himself, Suleiman gripped his weapon tightly.

Suleiman then focused his gaze on Dellinger's legs.

'The combination of well-developed muscles and high heels...' Suleiman thought to himself, 'This guy must be good at attacking with his legs.'

All you need to do is keep a close eye on his feet!

Having realized this, Suleiman became even more focused.

"I heard you're an executioner of war," Dellinger grinned maliciously. "Hahaha, actually, so am I~"

"I... love executions the most~"

Having said that, Dellinger launched an attack on Suleiman without hesitation.

"It must be a flying kick!"

"Puff!"

"Varied...?!"

Suleiman, pierced by Dellinger's twin horns, stared in disbelief.

With such powerful legs, is its attack method truly based on its horns?

Damn it, this thing isn't even a decoration?

With this thought in mind, Suleiman, who had been pierced by Dellinger, fell to the ground and gradually lost consciousness.

"It's over so quickly?"

Dellinger grinned maliciously at the unconscious Suleiman and said, "What a pity."

Well, since this guy has lost consciousness, there's no need to pay him any more attention. Let's go find other enemies.

After letting out a cold laugh, Dellinger turned and left.

At that moment, Baby5 and the others walked together towards Edio and the others.

Since his subordinates couldn't stop these guys, it was up to them to take action.

"Are the Donquixote Family executives finally going to make their move?" Blue Gilly said with a grave expression.

Although he always wanted to take Doflamingo's head himself, he didn't dare to underestimate the Donquixote Family's executives, after all, these people were subordinates of the Shichibukai!

Upon hearing Blue Gilly's words, Edio also turned his gaze to these people; it seemed a fierce battle was about to begin.

"Ya ho ho~"

Chinjao laughed loudly and said, "Even if the cadres are mobilized now, it's too late!"

"I will definitely repay your kindness!"

"It's Chinjao, the original pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy!"

Seeing the Chinjao charging towards them, one of the henchmen shouted, "Brothers, taking him down will make us famous!"

"Profound!"

The other henchmen standing on higher ground immediately roared excitedly.

If they can take down Chinjao, they'll definitely gain the family's attention, and it's not impossible for them to even become family executives!

Thinking about this made them even more excited.

Then, without hesitation, they launched an attack on the Chinjao.

The next moment, a large number of arrows flew down from the sky, heading straight for the Chinjao below.

"This thing is useless to me!"

Chinjao clapped his hands and shouted, "Watch me knock you all down!"

"Buto!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chinjao leaped up with all his might, ignoring the arrows that were hitting him, and slammed his fist into the rock wall in front of him.

"Boom!"

One strike, and it was shattered!

Those henchmen standing on top, having lost their footing, plummeted downwards one after another, nearly dying instantly.

"Alright, no one will bother me now." Chinjao grinned and said, "I'll be going now!"

After saying that, Chinjao quickly climbed up the rock.

But as he climbed, Chinjao noticed something was wrong: why were the rocks suddenly bulging?

"Um?"

"What's with this protruding rock?" Chinjao asked, puzzled.

"You've taken the wrong path, Chinjao," Gladius said expressionlessly. "This road is blocked."

Having said that, Gladius launched an attack without hesitation.

"Mine Bomb!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the protruding rock suddenly exploded, blasting the green Chinjao on it into the air, causing them to fall downwards.

"Ah!"

"Grandfather!"

Abu's eyes immediately turned red upon seeing this. That despicable guy actually used such a method to ambush his grandfather! It was utterly despicable!

"I'll be right there, wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed a shadow suddenly appear beneath his feet, which startled him.

"What's this?"

Puzzled, Abu subconsciously looked up and then noticed Mahavise in mid-air.

"It flew up?"

Although he didn't know what was wrong with this guy, Abu's instincts told him he had to leave quickly, or he might die.

Thinking this, he started moving, but unfortunately... Mahavise was faster than him.

"Ten-Ton Vise!"

"Boom!!"

"Ah!"

Abu, who was hit head-on, immediately let out a shrill scream, and was smashed into the large crater below by Mahavise.

"See that?!"

Seeing this, the henchmen shouted excitedly, "This is the power of our Donquixote Family's leaders!"

"You guys, wake up!"

They admitted they were no match for the thugs, but the family's leaders were a different story—these were true monsters!

With them there, these thugs would have absolutely no chance of reaching the Highland!

"Hahaha, actually these guys are just too weak," Rao G laughed. "Too weak... G!"

"Shut up, you old geezer!"

Enraged, Orlumbus raised his whip and lashed it down, intending to kill the reckless old man in front of him with a single blow.

To his surprise, his attack not only failed, but also allowed his opponent to stand on his arm and seize the initiative.

Is this old man really that agile?

Seeing the old man trembling even while standing, Orlumbus's expression suddenly darkened, and he grabbed him hard, intending to crush him to death.

But Rao G clearly sensed Orlumbus's intention and jumped to dodge the attack the instant it was launched.

Then, the old man, who was trembling even while standing, spun rapidly in the air and delivered a powerful kick to Orlumbus's face.

"Bump!"

This heavy attack nearly knocked Orlumbus unconscious.

"G!!"

"We've taken down the enemy! Hahahaha!" Looking at the fallen Orlumbus, the henchman roared excitedly, "As expected of Rao G!"

"See that? You bastards!"

"Hiss~"

"Phew~"

Baby5 slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, staring at Rao G who had landed steadily on the ground, and said, "Take it easy, old man."

Although this guy is indeed very strong, he's not young after all.

"I know what I'm doing," Rao G replied.

He is indeed very old, but that doesn't mean his strength has diminished.

Besides, these inexperienced kids aren't very strong, and there's no way they could hurt him, so baby5's worries are unnecessary.

Seeing that the other party had already said that, baby5 didn't say anything more.
