One of Luo Chen's Objectives Achieved

Bartholomew Kuma continuously fired air cannons from his palms.

Yet every one of Bartholomew Kuma's air cannon attacks was accurately evaded by Luo Chen!!

Bartholomew Kuma then used the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability to launch a charge, but Luo Chen still dodged it.

At this point, no matter how slow Bartholomew Kuma's reactions were, he knew that his opponent's Observation Haki had reached an astonishing level.

Otherwise, there was no way Luo Chen could have evaded all of his attacks.

The reason Luo Chen could do this was entirely because his Observation Haki could see the future, allowing him to dodge in advance.

"You've attacked for long enough. It's my turn now." Luo Chen sheathed the great-grade blade Kogarashi.

He gripped the great-grade blade Sakura Jū with both hands.

"One-Sword Style Secret Technique. Azure Dragon Break."

This was a secret technique Luo Chen had created for himself using swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman.

A dragon-shaped phantom coiled around Luo Chen.

Realizing things had gone wrong, Bartholomew Kuma tried to dodge. If he faced Luo Chen's attack head-on, he might very well end up seriously injured.

As a half-cyborg now, Bartholomew Kuma could no longer use Armament Haki properly.

His body had become tougher, but he was no longer as agile as before.

"You think you can dodge?" Luo Chen's Observation Haki had been locked onto Bartholomew Kuma the entire time.

Whatever this guy intended to do was all within the perception of Luo Chen's future-seeing Observation Haki.

The violent gale directly blew every member of the Straw Hat Pirates away.

Only Kizaru and Rayleigh could face this situation calmly.

Rayleigh commented, "Compared to others of his generation, that guy is already far ahead."

"A rookie possessing such tremendous strength... once Fleet Admiral Sengoku finds out, he'll probably have a terrible headache!!" Kizaru said with a lewd grin.

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Several hundred meters of the surrounding area had been completely devastated by Luo Chen's attack.

As the smoke gradually dispersed, Bartholomew Kuma's scar-covered body was revealed.

Yet beneath every wound, mechanical circuitry could be seen.

Luo Chen smiled. "A cyborg body is pretty sturdy after all!!"

With top-tier Observation Haki and swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman, Luo Chen was already among the strongest below the level of an Emperor or Admiral.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates and the others were scattered across the ground.

"He's so strong. Is his bounty really only one hundred million Beli?" Brook even suspected that Luo Chen's bounty was one billion Beli, not one hundred million.

Zoro said unwillingly, "The gap between my swordsmanship and his is simply heaven and earth. Damn it."

"But no matter what, we were saved because of Luo Chen," Robin said with an objective assessment.

"That man named Luo Chen is so terrifying!!" Chopper said fearfully.

Nami felt like she was about to despair. What exactly had she gone through in just one day?!

Fragments of rubble continued to fall from the air.

Bartholomew Kuma still refused to give up. Just as he saw Luo Chen appear before him and was about to use the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability to move away—

Luo Chen said directly, "Revolutionary undercover agent, Bartholomew Kuma."

"You'd better not make any reckless moves now. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy to your Revolutionaries. Also, you don't need to worry about your leader Dragon's son, Straw Hat Luffy. He won't come to harm today, so leave now!"

Bartholomew Kuma froze. He had not expected the person before him to reveal so many of his secrets at once??

For a moment, Bartholomew Kuma even suspected that this man named Luo Chen might be with the World Government.

But he immediately dismissed the thought.

He had risked coming here to rescue leader Dragon's son, but it seemed there was no longer any need. For the time being, he also did not have to worry about his identity being exposed.

Bartholomew Kuma rarely spoke. "Although I don't know what your purpose is, I accept your proposal."

"That's more like it!" Luo Chen replied with a smile.

This was exactly what Luo Chen wanted: to slowly push this so-called plot in an unknown direction.

After Luo Chen and Bartholomew Kuma reached an understanding, Bartholomew Kuma left directly.

Kizaru, who had been fighting Rayleigh, said with a lewd grin, "How terrifying! Bartholomew Kuma is leaving just like that??"

"Now this old man is in a bit of a bind. Sentomaru is badly injured too."

Before Rayleigh could answer!

Luo Chen's voice carried over.

"Old man Rayleigh, let's join forces and take Kizaru down!!"

"Taking down a Marine Admiral should be quite interesting, right, old man Rayleigh?"

Luo Chen flew at low altitude toward the area near where Rayleigh and Kizaru were fighting.

"Hahaha~~" Rayleigh laughed heartily. "Kid, your proposal sounds feasible to me too!!"

Kizaru listened to the two of them the entire time. Why did this feel so wrong??

With things having developed to this point, Kizaru had actually lost interest in continuing the fight.

Of course, Kizaru was not afraid of Rayleigh and a rookie joining forces.

After all, he was one of Marine Headquarters' highest combat powers, a Marine Admiral!!

In the end, Kizaru just found it troublesome. Once he returned to Marine Headquarters, he could simply come up with some excuse for Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Thus, Kizaru put away the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword and said with a lewd grin, "How terrifying! Dark King Rayleigh, and a rookie with the swordsmanship of a Great Swordsman."

"It seems today's mission cannot be completed. Let us each take a step back! This old man will leave the Sabaody Archipelago with his subordinates."

"The Straw Hat Pirates will be spared for now."

"What do you think, little brother Luo Chen?" Rayleigh asked, a faint smile remaining on his face from beginning to end.

In truth, Rayleigh had already agreed to Kizaru's proposal, but Luo Chen was beside him.

How could Luo Chen fail to see what that yellow monkey and old man Rayleigh were thinking?

"Fine," Luo Chen replied.
