Straw Hat Crew in Grave Danger

The Heart Pirates and the Kidd Pirates were intercepted by Pacifistas as they prepared to leave the Sabaody Archipelago.

Trafalgar and Kidd had initially mistaken the Pacifistas for Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Urouge, Apoo, Drake, and Hawkins had likewise come under attack from the Pacifistas and Navy Admiral Kizaru.

Only because Kizaru had been distracted and spent the entire time toying with them had they not all been wiped out already.

Rip-off Bar, Grove 13.

Rayleigh, Shakky, Hatchan, Pappag, and Camie bid farewell to Luffy and the others.

Rayleigh smiled and waved. "Have a safe journey."

"Got it, Uncle Rayleigh." Straw Hat Luffy also waved goodbye to Rayleigh and the others.

Nami said, "We need to leave quickly."

"Hehe, how about we go play at the amusement park a little longer before we leave?" Luffy said.

Bang!!

A massive bump instantly rose on Luffy's head after Nami smashed him. She roared, "Do you even know what situation we're in right now? And you're still thinking about the amusement park??"

As Straw Hat Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, Franky, Nami, and Robin fled for their lives, a figure appeared before them.

It was a Pacifista.

Sanji's eyes widened. "That guy is Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!!"

"Why is that guy here?" Zoro quickly gripped the hilts of his swords with both hands.

Luffy asked in confusion, "Who's that guy?"

Nami, Robin, Usopp, and the others gave Luffy a rough explanation of the situation.

Franky said gravely, "Anyway, that guy is strong. We need to deal with him carefully."

"If he's strong, then we go all out from the start." As Luffy spoke, he had already entered Second Gear.

Then Straw Hat Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji launched a fierce assault against the Pacifista.

Their combined attack sent the Pacifista flying.

"Did we get him?" Usopp asked as he looked toward the direction Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had been sent flying.

"It won't be that easy." Robin did not believe Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, could be defeated so easily.

The Pacifista leaped back out and stood before Straw Hat Luffy and the others.

Luffy stared in shock. "Is that guy's body really that tough??"

From beginning to end, Zoro had felt that Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, standing before him was strange. But he could not say what exactly was strange about him.

After more than ten rounds of battle, the entire Straw Hat Pirates finally worked together to defeat the Pacifista.

Everyone lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Usopp said wearily, "I'm exhausted! But we finally beat him."

"Yeah! The crisis is finally over," Franky replied.

Luffy said in disbelief, "That guy wasn't Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so who the hell was he??"

"Could he have been some kind of twin??"

Nami reminded them, "Forget about that for now. We need to get out of here quickly, or if the Navy pursuers catch up, we'll have to keep fighting."

"You're right. Everyone, let's hurry up and leave." Luffy stood up as he spoke.

Just as everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was about to continue on their way, another Pacifista appeared before them.

"No way!" Brook was instantly dumbfounded.

Usopp said despairingly, "We just defeated one Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and now another Tyrant Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has shown up? How many of these things are there??"

Sanji lit himself a cigarette. "We used up all our strength defeating the last one, and now there's another one??"

"What's the point of talking so much? We fight." Zoro immediately assumed his three-sword style stance.

Luffy drew a breath. "Looks like we can only defeat another one."

At that moment, Sentomaru also appeared. "Finally found you, Straw Hat Pirates. Didn't Old Man Kizaru say he'd already come over? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Found you at last! You really made this old man search for quite a while." Kizaru transformed into a beam of light and appeared beside Sentomaru.

Robin's expression darkened. "This is bad. That man is Navy Admiral Kizaru."

"Are we really finished? Up against so many terrifying enemies?" Usopp's eyes were filled with despair.

Kizaru looked at the Straw Hat Pirates and said with a lecherous expression, "Straw Hat Luffy, the culprit who attacked a Celestial Dragon, our Navy still hasn't found the Celestial Dragon yet."

"Your crime is quite serious, rookie Straw Hat Luffy."

"Everyone, we're no match for them right now. Split up and run, then regroup later," Luffy shouted.

Yet no matter how the Straw Hat Pirates tried to escape, they were completely suppressed.

Just as Kizaru was about to stomp down on Zoro, someone rushed over and kicked away Kizaru's attack.

With his hands in his pockets, Kizaru said lecherously, "Is it your turn to step in, Dark King Rayleigh?"

"Hehe! Kizaru, they are the future hope of Pirates. I hope you can spare their lives." Rayleigh maintained a faint smile.

Kizaru continued lecherously, "What are you talking about? If I let them go, those Celestial Dragons will nag this old man to death later."

"Looks like that won't work," Rayleigh said.

Kizaru said lecherously, "There had been rumors that Dark King Rayleigh was hiding in the Sabaody Archipelago. Looks like those rumors were true."

"Still, if our Navy wants to make a move against you, we'll need to be sufficiently prepared."

"Kizaru, if you just remove my Wanted Poster, wouldn't you save yourselves all that trouble?" Rayleigh replied with the same faint smile.

Kizaru said lecherously, "You're a major criminal, and the former vice-captain aboard Pirate King Roger's ship."

"Ame-no-Murakumo Sword." Kizaru pressed his palms together and drew out a sword of light.
