Wasn't This Sight Blotting Out the Sky a Little Too Terrifying?!
Where are your men?
Xi Yan glanced around and said, "I'll take you there first."
"It's right outside, no rush."
Galette waved her hand. Whether they would meet again after returning was another matter, so she cherished the time she had now.
Seeing that Galette had already said that, Xi Yan didn't say anything more.
"Fujitora!"
Seeing Fujitora approaching, Bartolomeo shouted, "If you can break my barrier, then come and try!"
He spoke with great conviction, but beads of sweat trickled down Bartolomeo's face, clearly indicating he was under considerable pressure.
"A barrier?"
After stopping, Fujitora chuckled and said, "This does look quite difficult to deal with."
"Then... how about we try this trick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fujitora slowly drew his Cane Sword and activated the power of the Press-Press Fruit.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the earth began to tremble, as if something incredibly terrifying was roaming underground.
Then, the wreckage piled on the ground began to slowly rise into the air at an astonishing speed.
Finally... the sky darkened!
"Hey, hey, hey, what happened?!" The city's residents, staring in horror at the scene before them, exclaimed, "Why are all the wreckage flying up?"
"Hey, those wreckage pieces are flying East!"
"What terrifying power..."
Gatz swallowed hard, then grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Right now, there's only one person who can do this on this island!"
"That's Marine Admiral Fujitora!"
Is this the strength of the Navy Headquarters' Greatest Battle Power?
That's really scary!
"Since they're just sitting there in the way anyway, I might as well borrow them," Fujitora said softly. "I'll clean up all the wreckage left behind by these despicable pirates!"
This way, residents won't have to go through the trouble of cleaning up the trash.
"Are you kidding me?"
Edio stared in horror at the scene before him and said, "Is this guy planning to use that Covering the sky and blocking the sun wreckage as a weapon?"
This is terrifying.
"That's indeed a good idea," Chinjao said. "This way, the barrier with its limited defensive range won't be of much use."
This Cockscomb Head -shaped barrier can only protect a small area; it's impossible for it to cover everyone and the pirate ship completely.
"What should we do then?"
Usopp said, somewhat frantically, "With such a large area, can we possibly stop them?"
If they were to be brought down by the enemy's attack, not to mention whether they would die, the ship would definitely be lost.
Once the ship is destroyed, they won't even be able to escape.
"In the end, I still have to take action?"
Xi Yan frowned. Only he could stop such a wide-range attack.
But... does Fujitora really intend to start a war here?
This guy should know what this means.
Thinking of this, Xi Yan glanced at Fujitora, but the man's expression remained unchanged throughout, as if... he wasn't worried about what would happen next at all.
"Don't rush," Galette said, pulling Xi Yan's arm. "Let's assess the situation first."
Once Xi Yan uses the power that reveals their identity, then... they will have to face three Marine Admiral.
She didn't know if the Straw Hat Pirates would be able to escape, but the others were most likely doomed.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, then nodded and lowered his hand that had just been raised.
"What a reckless guy..."
Tsuru sighed, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Vice Admiral Bastille, do we still need reinforcements?"
"Vice Admiral Bastille?"
"Vice Admiral Bastille!!!"
"I'm here, Staff Officer Tsuru!" Vice Admiral Bastille snapped out of his daze, then shouted, "Sorry, this scene is too shocking, I was a little lost in thought."
This was the first time he had ever seen such an exaggerated scene; he was truly shocked.
"Why..."
Tsuru sighed, then said, "Do we still need reinforcements?"
"It seems we don't need it."
Okay, I understand.
Tsuru nodded and waved to his subordinates behind him, signaling them to bring Doflamingo onto the ship.
Then, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the East Port, pondering whether she should go and meet the Sunglasses Man.
However, considering Doflamingo's safety, they abandoned the idea.
Anyway, with the Sengoku period around, they can still find out that person's background.
Vice Admiral Bastille ignored Tsuru, who had hung up the phone, and instead picked up another Den Den Mushi, saying, "All troops, listen up!"
"Now, everyone has evacuated from the East Port; no reinforcements are needed there!"
"Do not interfere with Marine Admiral Mr. Issho; just leave everything to him!"
"Yes!"
This level of combat was beyond their ability to intervene, so upon receiving the order, these men immediately began to run outside, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire of their Admiral's attack.
An attack of that level would kill them with a single touch!
"Hello!"
"What are you guys still standing there for?" Luo shouted as he ran back quickly. "Get back to the ship right now!"
But we're still waiting for someone.
"It's the same everywhere now!"
"That's right, we'll..." Cavendish hadn't finished speaking when he realized something was wrong; the person speaking seemed to be the one they were waiting for.
"Trafalgar Law!" Cavendish roared, his shark-like mouth agape. "We've been staying here because we've been waiting for the three of you."
"Damn it, where did you all go?!"
"It's just something that's been taken care of."
"Don't make it sound so easy, you bastard!"
Cavendish was furious. Didn't this guy realize the seriousness of the situation?
Also, where did Straw Hat and that little girl Merry go?
"Get ready to set sail!" Lao Cai turned to look at his men and shouted, "You all get back to the ship immediately and get ready to depart!"
"Profound!"
The henchmen, having received the order, quickly ran off, fearing they would be left behind to die.
"Getting on the ship quickly isn't a problem, but..." Zoro stared at Fujitora in the distance and said, "That guy definitely won't let us go easily."
With this guy's abilities, he can definitely stop the attack before they leave.
In this situation, whether or not you board the ship is not very meaningful.
"Looks like we'll have to fight first," Xi Yan said.
After saying that, Xi Yan stepped forward with his sleeves showing, clearly intending to stop Fujitora first.
He will naturally follow after his companions leave.
This time, Galette did not stop her.
"You should go back to the ship first," Xi Yan said, glancing at Galette. "Otherwise, I might not be able to take care of you later."
Ultimately, the other party's identity is too sensitive. Once discovered by the navy, they will be targeted, and whether they can return home will be a question.
Upon hearing this, Galette pursed her lips, raised her hand as if to say something, but ultimately lowered it.
Be careful.
"Good."
After watching Xi Yan walk away, Galette sighed silently, then turned and left without saying a word.
Perona opened her mouth upon seeing this, but ultimately swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Let them handle their own affairs," Nicole Robin said.
Although they are partners, matters of the heart depend on the feelings of both individuals, and there's not much they can say about it.
Perona nodded upon hearing this, then silently watched Galette until she disappeared before turning her gaze away.
"Don't rush!"
As if noticing something, Usopp grabbed Xi Yan's arm and said, "Luffy and Merry are back!"
"What?"
Xi Yan paused for a moment, then followed Usopp's gaze to the side and quickly noticed Luffy and Merry in the air.
"Everyone, we're back!"
Little Merry waved her little hand happily to everyone, while also increasing her flying speed.
"Luffy- senpai, Merry- senpai!"
Bartolomeo shouted excitedly, "These two are finally back!"
"Everyone's finally here!" Lao Cai shouted. "Hurry up and board the ship! We need to get out of here before the attack comes!"
"Profound!"
Without uttering a single word, Edio and the others turned and ran towards the ship behind them.
"Luffy- senpai, watch out for Fujitora!" Bartolomeo shouted. "Don't get entangled with that guy, just go around him!"
"Go around it?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy turned his gaze to Fujitora, and his expression became serious.
"Merry, put me down!"
"Ah?"
Merry paused, stunned. They were already this far, why were they letting Luffy go?
There's a Marine Admiral ahead of us!
"But Luffy..."
"Merry!"
"I see."
Seeing Luffy's resolute attitude, Merry stopped talking and gently placed Luffy on the ground.
"You go back first, I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay..."
Without saying much, Merry quickly flew towards the area where Xi Yan was located.
However, as she passed Fujitora, she subconsciously glanced at him, and only after seeing that he didn't seem to care about her did she fly past him with peace of mind.
Only after Merry was safely back with Xi Yan did Luffy secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then shouted loudly, "Hey, gambling uncle, do you remember me?"
After saying that, Luffy quickly charged towards Fujitora.
"You're finally here, Straw Hat, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luffy interrupted him.
"I'm going to beat you up!"
"Rubber Elephant Gun!"
After saying that, Luffy quickly wrapped his massive arm with Haki and slammed it down on Fujitora.
"Clang!"
"Boom!!"
"Huh?"
Bartolomeo was stunned when he saw this. Why would Luffy suddenly attack Fujitora?
"Senior Luffy, this is none other than Navy Headquarters, the Greatest Battle Power of the Marine Admiral Headquarters!"
So what?
After forcefully pushing Fujitora backward, Luffy withdrew his arm and said, "Why do you have to run away every time you encounter Marine Admiral?"
"This matter... ended two years ago!"
Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates members, who had experienced the events of two years prior, were all taken aback, because they all knew what Luffy meant.
They will never forget that great battle two years ago.
If it weren't for Big Bear... the Straw Hat Pirates would have been wiped out.
Luffy ignored his crewmates' reactions and continued shouting, "Whether it's Marine Admiral or Four Emperors, if I don't defeat them all, I... will never be able to become the Pirate King!"
"Hahaha."
Zoro and Xi Yan burst into laughter upon hearing this. Yes, that's exactly the point.
The Straw Hat Pirates have absolutely no reason to fear any Marine Admiral.
"That makes sense," Franky nodded seriously.
To become the Pirate King, you have to defeat all these powerful enemies; otherwise, it's impossible to reach that position.
"Then let's beat him up!"
Usopp:???
Usopp stared blankly at Perona, wondering what she meant by saying something that seemed to thrive on chaos.
but...
There really are no other options now.
Thinking this, Usopp shouted, "In that case, let's fight him!"
"Luffy, punch him!"
"Huh?"
"Why are you seniors acting like this too?" Bartolomeo stared blankly at Usopp and the others, saying, "This is Marine Admiral!"
If it were Senior Xi Yan rushing over to fight Marine Admiral, he wouldn't say such a thing. After all, this guy really has a history of fighting Marine Admiral and surviving. But... this time it's Senior Luffy who's making the Luffy.
Is there really no problem in this situation?
Unfortunately, no one answered his question this time, which gave Bartolomeo a real headache.
What should I do in this situation?
"I'm going to use all my strength, Uncle!" Luffy shouted.
As they were talking, Luffy activated Second Gear, clearly taking it seriously.
"Alright." Fujitora slowly straightened up and said, "I'm going to use all my strength to capture you now, so be prepared."
"Profound!"
After coating his arms with Haki, Luffy charged towards Fujitora, shouting, "I'm going to beat you up!"
"Rubber Eagle Rifle!"
"Bump!"
Luffy's attack was extremely powerful, but this time it didn't even make Fujitora take a single step back!
"It seems Luffy- senpai is serious..." Bartolomeo swallowed hard and said, "But there's really no need to fight so seriously at a time like this..."
Isn't escaping the most urgent and important task right now?
"Never mind," Lao Cai said, his eyes narrowing. "If he wants to fight, then let him fight."
"Hey, Straw Hat, do you need our help?"
If the other side needs help, they will immediately rush over and gang up on Fujitora.
"No need!" Luffy shouted without turning his head, "Just watch."
Seeing that Luffy had said so, Lao Cai and the others gave up their plan to go and provide support.
However, they didn't completely relax. If they found anything amiss, they would rush over immediately and bring the person back.
