Inside the tavern, Roy and his group finally finished their meal.
Tesoro, already impatient, was the first to leap up, his body crackling with electricity.
"Boss, if we don't go soon, we'll miss out on the soup!"
Savi and Enel were also itching for a fight, their eyes gleaming with excitement. They had been itching to get started after listening to Roy's "broadcast" of the chaotic battle in the mine.
Pea obediently tidied up the tableware, Charon silently adjusted his breathing, preparing for battle.
Stella looked at Roy, her eyes questioning.
Hawk Eyes wiped Black Blade Yoru, while Bullet crossed his arms and grinned wildly, clearly both ready.
Let's go.
Roy smiled faintly and stood up first.
"Go and be the fisherman who reaps the rewards."
The group left the tavern, by which time it was completely dark outside.
But the unique crystals of Crystal Island still reflected a hazy glow under the moonlight, making the town not too dark.
Roy's Observation Haki acted like an invisible radar, clearly marking the direction of the mine.
"The fighting over there is fierce. Let's go straight over there; there's no need to hide."
Roy pointed to the hill behind the town.
Everyone nodded and immediately began to use their methods.
Tesoro transformed into lightning and vanished in a flash.
Enel's feet created clouds, Pea and Savi, seeing this, immediately jumped onto the clouds with smiles.
Stella spread her wings and transformed into White Dove, flying into the sky.
Bullet moved with lightning speed, keeping up closely.
In the blink of an eye, only Roy, Hawk Eyes, Charon remained on the spot. Roy smiled slightly, his mental energy instantly enveloping the three of them, and they too soared into the sky.
Like ghosts, the group traced several paths across the night sky, heading straight for the mine pit behind the mountain.
At this moment, the battle inside the mine has reached a fever pitch.
" Giant Axe " Doc was like a mad tiger, wildly wielding his Giant Axe. Relying on his thick skin and superhuman strength, he withstood the attacks of the CP Agent, his target always locked on the metal box that everyone was fighting over.
But he was no match for four opponents; he already had several wounds and his movements had become much slower.
Doflamingo, like an elegant yet deadly spider, manipulates his threads high above, sometimes cutting, sometimes binding, not only interfering with the CP Agent,
He also redirected Moria's shadow attacks and Vera's poison needles to others, cleverly disrupting the battle while he waited for his opportunity to strike.
Gecko Moria, on the other hand, focuses on collecting "shadows," with his subordinates constantly dragging wounded or dead pirates and CP Agent into their shadows.
Moria brandished his longsword, excitedly cutting off their shadows while letting out a strange "hehehehe" laugh.
" Poison Princess " Vera is the most cunning.
She remained on the periphery of the battle, indiscriminately harassing everyone with poison needles and poison mist, weakening everyone's condition. She was clearly planning to wait until everyone was exhausted before making her move to seize the prize.
At this time, the CP leader was the strongest person in the mine.
He held his own against the combined forces of Doc and Doflamingo, directing his agents to try and regain control of the situation and retrieve Dr. Gracia and the box.
However, interference from various forces has made it impossible for them to make any progress.
Dr. Gracia clutched the box tightly in his hands, and seeing the chaotic scene, he wanted to become invisible and sneak away.
But whenever he made a move, all eyes in the arena would turn to him, making him hesitant to act rashly.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked--
"Boom!"
A thick bolt of lightning stopped at the edge of the mine; it was Tesoro had arrived earlier.
"Hahaha! Looks like we've arrived just in time!"
Tesoro's arrogant voice echoed in the air, his body crackling with lightning, like Thunder God descending to earth.
Immediately afterwards, several figures landed at the edge of the mine like meteorites, their powerful auras instantly sweeping across the entire area!
Roy, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Charon, Stella, Enel, Savi, and Pea appeared one after another.
The entire Roy Pirates has arrived.
The arrival of Roy and his group brought the chaotic battle to an instant halt.
Doflamingo's face darkened. "Fufufu... Roy, you've finally decided to come?"
Moria stopped collecting shadows and stared at Roy and his group, especially at Bullet's massive figure, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Vera quietly took a few steps back, hiding herself in deeper shadows, her expression becoming extremely solemn.
The CP leader's eyes were sharp as knives as he stared intently at Roy. After recognizing the newcomer, he inwardly sighed, 'Oh no!'
The CP department has a ton of information on Roy and the others.
Faced with Roy and the others, the CP leader, fully aware of the disparity in strength, could only rely on the prestige of the World Government to try and make them wary.
"' Heavenly Dao ' Roy... Are you also going to be enemies of the World Government?"
"Whispering sound!"
Upon hearing CP invoke the name of the World Government, Tesoro scoffed disdainfully.
" Giant Axe " Doc didn't care about any of that, brandishing his Giant Axe and roaring...
"Another bunch of thieves are here to steal! They'd all die!"
He actually turned his axe around and swung it at Bullet had just landed!
In his view, Bullet had the strongest aura and posed the greatest threat!
"Idiot."
Bullet grinned maliciously, neither dodging nor avoiding, his right fist, covered in Armament Haki, directly met the Giant Axe!
"Clang!!!"
The fist and axe clashed, producing a deafening explosion! The shockwave rippled outwards, sending debris flying everywhere!
Doc felt an overwhelming force coming from the axe handle; his hand split open, blood gushing out.
The Giant Axe that had been with him for many years was sent flying high into the air by Bullet's punch, almost slipping from his grasp!
His massive body staggered backward, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible?! Your power..."
Bullet clenched his fist, leaving only a white mark, and grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"With that little strength, you dare to talk big in the New World? Get lost, you piece of trash!"
This scene deeply shocked everyone present. Doc's strength was undeniable, yet he was so easily repelled by a single punch from Bullet! The Roy Pirates ' strength was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested!
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Roy's gaze fell directly on Dr. Gracia in the corner, or more precisely, on the metal box in his arms.
"We'll take the stuff."
"Don't even think about it!"
The CP leader was the first to object. He moved swiftly, shooting at Roy like a razor, his Shigan aimed straight for Roy's throat!
"Don't disturb our captain!"
Hawk Eyes's figure appeared like a ghost in front of the CP leader. He used the same Six Powers ' Shigan ', striking first despite being behind, and aimed at the CP leader's wrist, forcing him to change his move.
Doflamingo's eyes flickered, and suddenly he spread his five fingers.
Five Color Strings!
The five sharp threads, imbued with Haki, were not aimed at Roy, but rather at the ground between Roy and Dr. Gracia.
He attempted to create obstacles, while simultaneously giving Trebol and the others a wink, signaling them to seize the box.
Roy completely ignored Doflamingo and walked straight toward Dr. Gracia.
