Several furtive figures were still hiding on the battlefield. They arrived with Luffy and his crew but did not make a high-profile appearance in front of the world like Luffy and his crew. They were surrounded and captured by the Navy, but they also secretly and silently killed a group of Navy members to share the burden for them.
laugh...
Just then, as the three were trying to escape the dangerous battlefield amidst the chaos, footsteps sounded behind them, making them immediately alert and turn around.
"It's you... the pirate Luo Chen, who holds the position of Shichibukai..."
The three of them spoke at the same time.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect you guys to come out too. I remember I knocked you out and handed you over to the Navy to be sent to Impel Down, right? Uh... that makes sense. If you followed the Straw Hat during the chaos in the prison, it was indeed possible to escape."
But what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid I'll drag you back? Supernovas Hawkins, Bege, and Bonney!!"
Luo Chen coldly revealed the true identities of the three men: they were the three Supernovas he had single-handedly defeated in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Hmph, speaking of which, we really have to thank you for showing us the horror of Impel Down, which is feared by the world. Now that we're out, we should repay you and broaden our horizons..."
Upon seeing Luo Chen, Bege gave him a cold shoulder, and when he uttered the words " Impel Down," he gritted his teeth and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
"Hmph, you're right. I also want to repay you properly as a thank you for sending us to Impel Down for sightseeing..."
Bonney reacted much Bege. When she saw Luo Chen, who had personally sent them to prison, smilingly appear before them, how could she possibly let him off so easily?
"... The divination shows that the chances of the three of us winning against you again are still very low, less than 10%, while the chance of escaping is 50%. Given these odds, I'd like to try it myself and see if I can reverse the situation..."
Clang!!
As Hawkins spoke, he put away the divination cards, then drew his sword from his waist, pointing the blade at Luo Chen, and said in a calm tone.
"Oh... you haven't given up on such a ridiculous idea after suffering so much? Fine, then I'll show you just how much you really are..."
Clang...
After teasing the three of them slightly, Luo Chen drew his Rain Burial sword and challenged them to a duel.
"Arrogant! Last time, we were caught off guard by the three of us, and you defeated us one-on-one. We won't be so easily defeated now. Attack..."
It seemed that the three of Bege had already planned how to deal with Luo Chen before they came here. At a shout, they stood in three different positions around him, forming a triangle to surround him.
"Trying to surround me? So what? Can three defeated opponents turn the tables?"
Luo Chen wasn't intimidated by the three's imposing presence. Not long ago, he had easily defeated all three of them single-handedly, and only a few days had passed since they emerged. Even if they had practiced day and night for the past few days, perfecting their formation and improving their strength, what did he have to fear? Hadn't he become stronger as well?
That's why Luo Chen treated the three of them with such disdain.
"Hmph, you will eventually pay the price for your Pride. Make your move..."
After saying this, Bege exchanged glances with the other two, and then his body underwent a dramatic change.
Buzz...
The surrounding air seemed to thicken and become heavy, and an indescribable aura emanated from Bege.
" Castle-Castle Fruit Technique... Big Father!!"
Bege's body suddenly grew four or five meters taller, and a small Giant about seven or eight meters tall appeared in front of Luo Chen and the others.
Its body was covered with arrow towers and cannons, and cannons were set up and aimed at Luo Chen. The fire line was gradually ignited, and it looked like it could be opened fire at any moment.
"What's going on? Isn't this the same move you used back in Sabaody Archipelago? I remember this ability is extremely stamina-consuming, why are you using it so early? Aren't you afraid of being defeated first?"
Luo Chen realized that the move Bege used was exactly the same as the one he had used as a trump card on the Sabaody Archipelago. There was not much change at all, or rather, the only difference was that the number of weapons he carried inside his body had increased.
"Hehehe, if that's really what you want, then so be it. Anyway, when the three of us decided to come here to settle scores with you, we already made up our minds that no matter whether we can escape successfully, we'll make you experience the pain we suffered!!"
After saying that, Bege strode towards Luo Chen with his thick, rocky thighs, igniting the cannons inside his body at the same time, and rapidly approaching him amidst the bombardment of artillery fire.
"Using this move to cover your tracks? Just come straight at me, why bother? Sword technique... Storm Flowing Wall!!"
Clang...
After saying that, Luo Chen flicked his wrist, and an arc-shaped slashing wall instantly covered the area in front of him, blocking countless cannon shots.
Boom boom boom...
Shells bombarded the slashing wall, producing loud explosions, but they only rippled on it a few times before disappearing.
Bang...
At the same time, the slashing wall Burst into bubbles, and starlight scattered around him as if draping him in a sacred robe, so holy and dazzling.
call out...
"With such immense physical agility, if you can't keep up, you're just a bigger target, just like you right now... Dragon Fist... Burst!!"
boom...
With Luo Chen's refined mastery of his abilities, crimson Blood Breath coiled around his arm, its aura as imposing as a dragon. Like a bomb Burst, it surged rapidly through his body before violently blasting him away.
Bang...
Bege's massive body flew backward and crashed to the ground, its heavy form instantly crushing the ground and creating a deep crater that was difficult to climb out of for a while.
"Damn it... Are you useless? It's your turn, Bonney..."
"I can't believe it," Bege said bitterly, a cigar dangling from his mouth.
"Good..."
clatter...
Swoosh...
"Grow old, please..."
Bonney leaped from her spot toward Luo Chen, her fair and delicate arm outstretched, her palm shrouded in a gray, decaying mist, as she slapped at him.
"Um?!"
When Luo Chen saw the gray mist in her palm sweep across the air, even the ground and air around her decayed, he knew he couldn't easily take this attack. So, he enveloped his sword in Armament Haki and thrust it towards Bonney's brow.
Clang...
Bonney stared at the dense black gas swirling around the tip of the Rain Burial Sword, a terrifying sense of crisis washing over her, as if warning her to dodge the attack or she would surely die.
"Damn it... move it away..."
Bang...
Bonney's voice, tinged with anger and a hint of fear, rang out. Originally, she could have struck Luo Chen directly with her palm, but she didn't intend to choose to die with him in order to take his life. So, she slapped her palm towards the sword, moving the blade away slightly and avoiding a fatal blow.
"Ha, still too Tender. You can get out of my way too..."
Seeing this, Luo Chen shook his head and said, then pushed off the ground with his left foot and leaped into the air, while his right foot swept towards her side like a whip.
Bang...
Uh~
boom...
Bonney followed Bege's path, and together they were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground amidst billowing smoke and dust.
"It's my turn. Become my substitute puppet..."
Swoosh...
At the same moment Luo Chen attacked Bonney, Hawkins, on the other side, suddenly transformed into a Strawman, his spiked hand pointing at him from behind in a sneak attack.
Having said that, Hawkins seemed to be able to foresee the scene of Luo Chen being used as a double by him to take endless bullets for him.
