"Luffy...!"
Chopper's eyes were bloodshot as he walked step by step toward Luffy.
"Chopper... Chopper! What happened to you?"
Seeing Chopper's Luffy, Luffy panicked and quickly put his hand in front of him, taking a few steps back.
"You're asking me what's wrong?"
"Do you know you almost gave me the Gum-Gum Fruit too?!"
"Um?!"
Luffy was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and although he didn't quite understand what it meant, he still replied, "Isn't that even better?"
"Good??"
Upon hearing this, Chopper's anger intensified, and his body immediately grew larger, transforming into his Heavy Point.
I mean, you almost broke my neck!
"I was pulling it out fine by myself at first. Let me get used to the opening, twist it a couple of times and I can easily pull it out!"
"But Luffy, you insisted on coming to pull me out, almost causing me to die in the cave!"
" Luffy, how do you think I should thank you?"
Chopper smiled, but that smile sent chills Luffy.
The next moment--
Luffy dashed off instantly, and the very next second, Luffy pounced on Chopper.
" Luffy, don't run! I'm going to kill you!"
Chopper roared and Luffy after Luffy.
Chopper! Calm down!
As soon as Luffy ran to a certain spot, Chopper punched him.
House after house was blasted down by Chopper's punches, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Suddenly, one of the small stones flew off in a certain direction and landed right on Astra's head, who was not far away.
This also brought Astra back to her senses; her attention had been completely focused on Chopper's wiggling butt.
She was so stunned that she didn't notice Chopper and Luffy wreaking havoc on the surrounding buildings.
But now she's realized what's happening.
These two guys--
Still insisting they weren't intruders!!
Seeing the two still wreaking havoc on the town, Astra roared:
Hey! You two!
"Stop it!!"
As she finished speaking, an invisible flame seemed to rise from her body, and she pointed the Truth in her hand at Luffy and Chopper, shouting:
"Die! You two intruders!"
The next moment--
A beam of laser shot out and hurtled towards the two of them.
"!!!"
Chopper and Luffy's expressions changed instantly upon seeing the laser beams aimed at them, and they hurriedly dodged to the side.
The laser struck them directly behind, creating a violent explosion.
That wasn't all; Astra didn't stop her attack, and beams of laser light kept shooting out of her gun.
At the same time, he didn't forget to shout:
"I will never forgive those who destroyed this island!!"
Luffy and Chopper:???
Upon hearing this, both of them had a question mark above their heads, looking at the huge craters blasted out by the lasers beside them.
Then look over there at Astra, who was shouting at them not to run, but smiled every time the lasers blasted her.
For a moment, they couldn't tell who the real culprit was!
Oh, wait a minute!
They can tell the difference!
The damage they caused by chasing each other for so long wasn't even as great as the damage caused by a single laser from Astra!
And yet they keep calling them destroyers?
The thief cries "Stop thief!"—a reversal of the Heavenly Gang?
Luffy was the first to yell at Astra, "Hey! Big guy! You're the one causing chaos everywhere, and you have the nerve to criticize us?"
"I am Vegapunk! The creator of this place, so what I'm doing certainly doesn't count as destruction, it's you who do!"
Astra spoke in a serious tone, and this answer Luffy and Chopper's eyes widen in surprise.
They rarely see someone as hypocritical as Astra!
Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in both of their hearts.
Especially Chopper, who already had a temper!
As a result, he not only failed to catch Luffy but was also chased by someone with a laser gun, and now he is being treated with such double standards!
snort!!
If he were a raccoon dog, I could tolerate it, but he's a reindeer!
Reindeer can be temperamental!
Chopper immediately transformed into his Walk Point and charged towards Astra in an instant.
Seeing Chopper charging towards her, Astra showed no mercy, unleashing beam after beam of laser fire!
But in Chopper's Walk Point, these lasers look ridiculous.
Chopper easily dodged the laser beams by dodging left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Astra.
His body instantly transformed into Heavy Point, grabbing Astra from behind and controlling one of her arms.
There's nothing that can be done about it, since Astra's size is still a bit too large for it.
Although Chopper was a little angry, for a kind and understanding tanuki, anger is something that dissipates easily!
So Chopper just wanted to control Astra, not hurt her.
But he definitely couldn't capture Astra by himself, so he Luffy on the other side:
" Luffy! Come quick and help me hold her down!"
"Okay!"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, swinging both hands forward at the same time, quickly reaching Astra's other hand and grabbing it.
The raccoon and the human pinned Astra to the ground, one on each side.
"You... you let me go!"
Astara struggled a few times after being pinned to the ground, but she couldn't possibly resist the strength of Luffy and his companion.
Therefore, her resistance was completely futile!
"Big guy! We can let you go, but you have to promise not to attack us first!"
Luffy looked at Astara beneath him and said...
"Impossible!"
To everyone's surprise, Astara answered without even thinking.
"You've wreaked havoc in this city! As its creator and guardian, how could I allow you to run rampant like this!"
"Um?!!"
"We? Caused widespread destruction? Acted recklessly?"
Chopper's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
If you had normal eyesight, you wouldn't have said that, would you?
" Chopper! Looks like this guy doesn't understand human language. To prevent her from bothering us, let's just knock her out!"
Luffy looked at Chopper and said.
"Good!"
Chopper nodded; this was the best solution for Astra's current situation.
With that, Luffy slowly raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, preparing to deliver a heart-shaped punch to Astra that would put it to sleep.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
But just then, an old man's voice came.
Following the sound, they saw an old man with an apple-shaped head resembling an antenna and an incredibly long, drooping tongue...
