Chapter 246

That's precisely why it's so terrifying, because we know absolutely nothing about him!

And he seemed to know himself very well!

"So, that woman is yours?"

Luo stared intently at Naito. "Did you send her?"

"Yamato is a very approachable girl, isn't she?"

Naito said with great interest, "I originally thought she could win you over, so I wouldn't have to make the trip myself."

"I can still understand the difference between being willingly used by me and being forced into it."

Naito shrugged. "But there's nothing I can do. I underestimated your determination to go to sea."

"Seriously, Doflamingo has already been thrown into Impel Down, what is it that you can't let go of? Do you really have to avenge Rosinante with your own hands?"

"..."

Luo remained expressionless.

Does he even know about the feud between Doflamingo and himself?

Wolf, who was being protected behind Luo, looked very uneasy. "So, you're here for the Op-Op Fruit?"

"I certainly can't let go of the Op-Op Fruit of surgery that allow me to perform Perennial Youth Operation, but that's not all of it,"

Naito looked at Luo and said, "Luo, you are also a very talented young man. With proper training, you will definitely become a powerful fighting force."

"Should I thank you for your recognition?"

Luo gritted his teeth.

Does this bastard think he doesn't know that the price of performing the Perennial Youth Operation is his own life?

"No need for thanks."

Naito laughed and said, "Just cooperate a little from now on, I don't want to put in any more effort."

Luo's eyes were gloomy.

Oh no!

He didn't know how powerful this guy was, but judging from the woman's strength just now, this guy was probably no weaker than her!

How are we supposed to deal with a monster like that?!

"Hey! You bastard! Don't even think about laying a hand on the captain!"

A figure rushed over, heading straight for Naito.

It's Penguin.

He held a small dagger in his hand, his grip trembling slightly, but he instinctively tightened his grip and thrust it directly at Naito.

"Captain! Run!"

"Captain! Run! Hand him over to us!"

Following closely behind Penguin were Shakky and Bepo, with Bepo even baring his teeth at Naito, trying his best to look dangerous.

Without the slightest hesitation, the man and the bear pounced on Naito, trying to buy their captain some time.

The boys realized the situation was critical, and for the moment, this was the only solution they could think of!

"Penguin! Shakky! Bepo! Don't go over there!"

Luo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets instantly, and he instinctively swung his right hand, shouting, "Room!"

A huge bubble opened.

But some are too slow.

The three of them rushed up the stairs and stood in front of Naito.

Then.

Without any warning, the three of them collapsed to the ground.

Luo's pupils constricted instantly.

"You bastard! What did you do to them?!"

He roared.

"Luo, don't be impulsive!"

Wolf was equally shocked and furious, but being a seasoned elder, he still shouted loudly, hoping that Luo could calm down.

But with his three close companions' fates hanging in the balance, how could Luo possibly remain calm?

"Cut!"

The transparent bubble had already enveloped Naito as well, and Law angrily brandished his dagger.

Space itself was shattered by this single cut; this is the power of the Op-Op Fruit. In this confined operating room, everything in the world can only be divided!

That's how it should have been.

"What?"

Luo's pupils trembled.

The creature remained floating there calmly, unaffected by the previous cut.

"Didn't Doflamingo teach you that?"

Naito said with great interest, "Haki is used to counter the power of Devil Fruit. Strong Haki can effectively resist the abilities of Devil Fruit."

"The Op-Op Fruit is powerful, but you're far from being able to use it."

"How is that possible...?"

Luo's body involuntarily Return back two steps.

The young man, who was the same age as Naito, was now as pale as a sheet, and his eyes had lost all their light, filled only with an intense, almost overflowing despair.

There's nothing we can do.

There's absolutely no way to deal with this guy anymore; even the power of the Op-Op Fruit is completely ineffective!

"Luo, run!"

Wolf grabbed Law's shoulder and shoved him behind him, then charged toward Naito despite his severe injuries.

"Get on that submarine! Escape through the underground waterways—"

Thump.

The white-haired old man followed in the footsteps of Bepo and his companions, collapsing to the ground as well, his voice abruptly cut off.

"... Mr Wolf?"

Luo's voice trembled violently.

Are they all dead?

Have I lost everything again?

"Are you kidding me?!"

Screaming, howling, roaring.

Luo staggered as if he were drunk, almost tumbling and crawling as he charged directly at Naito.

His eyes were wide open to their limit, almost tearing at the corners, and his lifeless eyes were filled with hot tears.

"I kill you!!"

Luo wanted to use the dagger in his hand to stab Naito to death.

Naito beckoned with his finger.

An invisible giant hand materialized and grabbed Luo's body.

"Forehead!"

Luo let out a painful groan, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to be crushed.

Unable to move...

There was absolutely no way to break free.

Is this the end?

Mr. Corazon...

"Don't look like you're going to your death."

Naito laughed and said, "They're all alive and well."

"Um?"

Luo was startled and abruptly lowered his head.

Only then did he notice that Bepo and Mr. Wolf were still breathing, and that Bepo was even drooling from the corner of his mouth.

They were as if they were asleep.

"They're the hostages I'm going to use to threaten you, so of course I can't just kill them."

Naito paused slightly, then said with a flourish, "So, Luo, you don't want them to die because of you, do you? You don't want to watch this entire town be destroyed just because you rejected me, do you?"

"..."

Luo looked stunned.

That bastard is truly despicable.

But I truly cannot bear the pain of losing everyone.

Finally, Luo gave a bitter smile, "You won."

"Certainly,"

Naito chuckled. "I always win."

"Alright, Luo, stop resisting."

Unlike Bepo and the others, Law's willpower is no joke.

He is a man who has truly faced life and death multiple times and lost everything twice.

Luo suddenly felt very sleepy.

So that's how it is... Bepo and the others are...

His head drooped.

Done.

Naito nodded in satisfaction.

In that case, the Op-Op Fruit would be his for the taking.
