Then Let's Play

A dull impact rang out. The punch bent Luffy double, and he coughed up blood. His face went pale, disbelief and shock flashing through his eyes.

A moment later, he flew away like a cannonball.

"Luffy?!"

Sanji's expression changed. He rushed forward and caught Luffy, but the force sent even him flying dozens of meters before he stopped.

"What monstrous strength!"

Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates went pale.

"Be careful!"

"He's practically the strongest man the Marines have ever had!"

Robin's voice trembled.

Zoro's pupils contracted as he spotted the sword at Xia Le's waist.

"Sorry, everyone."

Xia Le smiled faintly.

"Your pirate journey may end right here!"

As he spoke, he extended a finger.

Crackle!

An arc of electricity shot out and pierced Usopp in an instant. He flew backward, black smoke rising from his body.

Even when he hit the ground, his eyes remained blank with confusion.

"He has the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the strongest of the Logia Devil Fruit Powers!"

"He's a hundred times stronger than the robot we met on Sky Island—maybe even a thousand!"

Robin shouted.

Her hands twitched, activating her Devil Fruit Powers.

Several arms sprouted around Xia Le's neck and twisted it.

"Nico Robin, you really have disappointed me!"

His neck snapped as he spoke, and his towering body crashed to the ground.

But an instant later, lightning flashed across his body, and he stood up again.

Whoosh!

In a flash, he appeared behind her, back to back with her.

"I once had such high hopes for you."

His quiet voice echoed beside her ear.

The next second, blue arcs burst forth and swept over her entire body.

Robin's eyes rolled white. Black smoke rose from her as she collapsed.

Faintly, she heard her companions screaming her name in alarm.
