"ROOM!"
Luo instantly unleashed his domain while in the air, then teleported himself to the ground, before coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, that knife wound!"
Luo's expression was rather grim, not only because Vergo was walking towards him step by step, but more importantly because the wound he had inflicted by Oden earlier made him feel that his condition was very bad.
He was already fighting Caesar Monet while severely injured. Although those two weren't very strong and didn't cause him much trouble, they did aggravate his injuries to some extent.
Now, after exchanging blows with Vergo, his injuries seem to be showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.
Thinking of this, Luo couldn't help but curse Oden in his heart again. If it weren't for this mentally unstable samurai who wouldn't listen to any explanation and would just come and kill him without saying a word.
He shouldn't be in this situation now.
I already said it wouldn't harm his son! I hope Xia Chen beats him to death soon!
When he left, he saw Xia Chen beat that warrior so badly that he couldn't fight back at all; they were not even on the same level!
"Brubrubru! Brubrubru!..."
Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi) came through, causing everyone to look in the direction of the sound.
Vergo took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and answered the call.
The moment the call connected, a sinister male voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
" Vergo! How's it going? Have you arrived at Punk Hazard yet?"
"We've arrived, but there's been a little mishap!" Vergo said calmly.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Caesar on the other side immediately shouted excitedly, "Joker, Joker, save me!"
This time, Caesar wisely refrained from saying anything more about Luo; the lessons from the previous two encounters had already taught him a profound lesson.
"Huh? Caesar! What's wrong?"
Vergo then told Doflamingo about Law's capture of Caesar.
After that, there was no sound from the Den Den Mushi for a long time, and the atmosphere became a little heavy. After a while, the sound came through again.
"Luo! You've disappointed me... a lot!"
" Doflamingo!!" Law whispered, his voice filled with hatred.
Before Law could say anything, Doflamingo's voice rang out again.
"Ronald, I've noticed you're getting bolder and bolder these days, daring to capture Caesar. Don't you know he's one of my men?"
Do you want to... challenge my authority?
Doflamingo's sinister and deep voice rang out. If an ordinary person heard this, they would surely be so frightened that they would be speechless, but clearly, Law was not one of them.
"Oh!"
Luo chuckled and said:
"Well, I am indeed a bit bolder than you, unlike you, who's such a coward, only daring to chatter on the Den Den Mushi!"
"If I'm not mistaken... you're too scared to come over, aren't you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone could clearly see the veins bulging on the Den Den Mushi's head; the Den Den Mushi could mimic the expressions of the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
So at this moment, the Den Den Mushi's expression is exactly like Doflamingo's —an expression of... anger that has been hit where it hurts!
"Luo... are you looking for death?"
Doflamingo's voice, barely containing his anger, rang out, but Law ignored it and continued:
"Let me guess why you're afraid to come over. Is it because you're afraid of Xia Chen? After all, you were instantly defeated by him with a single punch in front of the whole world during the Paramount War!"
"Wow! That's really impressive!"
" Vergo, kill Luo!"
No sooner had Law finished speaking than Doflamingo's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
Vergo immediately put the Den Den Mushi into his pocket and said calmly, "Understood!"
Having said that, Vergo shot off at lightning speed towards Luo.
"So fast!"
Seeing Vergo appear in front of him in an instant, Law's pupils shrank. It was too late for him to use his ability to switch places. He could only hold his sword horizontally in front of him to block Vergo's attack.
As expected, the result was that Luo, already severely injured, could not withstand Vergo's powerful attack and was instantly sent flying. At the same time, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
"Bang!"
A dull thud was heard, and Luo's body crashed heavily to the ground.
Vergo narrowed his eyes, just about to charge at Luo again, when a questioning voice rang out from the surroundings.
Hey! What are you doing?!
Upon hearing this, everyone on the field turned their gazes in that direction, only to see a boy wearing Straw Hat picking his nose and looking at them.
Straw Hat Luffy!
Vergo pondered for a moment, then fixed his gaze on Luffy and asked, " Straw Hat Boy Luffy, what are you doing here?"
"Huh?" Luffy was immediately annoyed by the questioning tone and retorted, "What I do here is none of your business! What, does this island belong to you?"
Because the Summit War broke out prematurely, Luffy and Law had never met him in Sabaody, so naturally they don't recognize him now.
But when Luffy saw Law and Vergo, he inexplicably felt that Vergo made him even more annoyed! Especially after Vergo said those words.
Vergo's eyes narrowed upon hearing Luffy's reply, but he ultimately said nothing and continued walking towards Law, preparing to finish him off.
As long as the Straw Hat Boy don't bother him, he won't bother attacking him for no reason.
After all, he has incredibly powerful backing!
In Vergo's opinion—no, perhaps in the opinion of most people in the New World — Xia Chen was the only Straw Hat Pirates worth being wary of.
Everything else is insignificant. Even though Luffy has a bounty of one billion, they all believe it's because of Xia Chen, and they don't think Luffy has that kind of strength.
Therefore, for Vergo, what he truly feared was Xia Chen, not Luffy!
The problem is that things don't always go as Vergo expects. Luffy suddenly Luffy and lands in front of Law, blocking the way between Vergo and Law.
"Although I don't know what happened between you two, I feel that the person behind me is a good person, so... I won't allow you to attack him!" Luffy said calmly, looking at Vergo.
Upon hearing this, Vergo narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
" Straw Hat Boy, are you... sure you want to block my way?"
"That's right!" Luffy nodded.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me!" With those words, Vergo shot out, Luffy.
Since Luffy was determined to stop him, he naturally couldn't ignore it any longer. Even if Xia Chen dealt with him later, he was fine with it. Before that, he had to rescue Caesar. What happened after that didn't matter to him!
"Good timing!" A smile appeared on Luffy's lips.
Finally, he can move his arms and legs a bit!
Luffy clenched his right fist, coating it with Armament Haki, and blasted it directly at Vergo.
"Boom!!"
