【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 521 A Breathtaking Ability

Lucci frowned, somewhat displeased with Luo's question, but still replied, "It was my own mistake, there's no need for them to worry about it, and I'll take it back soon."

"So all the Straw Hat crew needs to do is quickly kidnap Caesar," Law said expressionlessly, then looked at the commotion coming from the Navy.

"Luffy really found a good way to land," Lucci grinned as he watched Luffy crash into the center of the battlefield where the Marines and Caesar's men were fighting. "His landing spot is really good."

"That idiot!" Law exclaimed in shock as he watched Luffy loudly announce to the Navy that he was going to capture Caesar. "Who told him he was going to fight the entire Navy!?"

“If you team up with Luffy, you can’t expect there won’t be any chaos,” Lucci mocked, looking at the shock on Law’s face.

"Forget it, let's ignore him." Luo suppressed his shock, his expression returning to its usual indifference, and looked at the iron gate in front of him that read "ROOM."

......

"Straw Hat Luffy, what exactly are you planning to do on this island!?"

Luffy turned his head in confusion towards the direction of the sound, and when he saw the smoker, he exclaimed with delight, "Oh, smoker! Are you alright? I was so worried when I saw you get knocked down!"

Never underestimate someone!

Luffy watched in surprise as the Smoker's arm slowly approached him. Luffy dodged it, grabbed the man, and pinned him to the ground. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Smoker, why have you become weaker?"

"Hey, hey, don't embarrass yourself! How can you let my body lose to a guy like this?!"

Luffy immediately flipped and jumped forward to dodge the attack from behind, looking at the bespectacled woman who had been following the smoker with a puzzled expression. "How did you suddenly become so strong? What's your name again...?"

"I am Smoker!" Smoker angrily charged forward and attacked the shocked Luffy. He was angry more than once that this was not his own body, especially since his current opponent was the Straw Hat Luffy. He did not want the Straw Hat Luffy to see him in this embarrassing state.

Robin noticed the commotion on Luffy's side and quickly understood what was going on. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Luffy, this must be something good that Robin did."

"Huh? They switched places!" Luffy instantly realized, and upon seeing the smoker resembling Tashigi, he pointed at him and burst into laughter, laughing until he choked up, but he kept laughing and pointing at Smoker, "You little brat... you're the smoker!"

"What's so funny!" Seeing the Straw Hat Luffy laughing incessantly, Smoker finally lost his temper and attacked Luffy again. It was all Trafalgar's fault, otherwise he would never have been reduced to being amused by this kid!

"Second gear!"

Luffy used Gear 2 to flash around Smoker. Seeing that Smoker couldn't keep up with him at all, Luffy's smile widened. He grinned and grabbed the smoker in Tashigi form, saying, "I'll fight you next time. Anyway, you can't use your real skills right now."

Smoker, furious at the Straw Hat who kept showing off his strength, kicked Luffy, who was grabbing his shoulder, and shouted through gritted teeth, "Don't talk big to me!"

Luffy grinned and easily dodged the Smoker's kick. Noticing that Franky had opened the door, he immediately broke away from the fight with the Smoker. He remembered what he had to do: beat up the master and then capture him!

"Luffy, Franky, wait!" Robin shouted urgently as she watched the purple slime falling from the sky. She was shocked to see so much purple slime in the sky. She looked at the explosion caused by the Marines spitting fire at one of the balls and her expression became serious. It was some kind of venom, and it must be related to Caesar.

"Hehehe, I'm so sorry I locked you up for three years, my sweet baby!"

"Master! Why did you come out? It's dangerous!"

Upon hearing the shouts of Caesar's men, everyone instantly realized who the smoking man standing on the ship's roof was.

"Is it you? The guy who calls himself Master?!" Luffy shouted at the man on the roof of the ship.

"Whoosh! That's right, Straw Hat Boy!" Caesar grinned as he looked at the Straw Hat Boy shouting at him from below. "Just wait a little longer. That little guy is afraid of water and is slowly launching himself over here. You'll soon experience what happened four years ago... Ah!!"

Before Caesar could finish his harsh words, he was sent flying by a heavy punch.

"Oh! Well done, Luffy!!" Franky praised.

"I'm going to beat you up and then catch you!" Luffy grinned and continued charging towards Caesar.

"Damn it!" Caesar stood up from the ground, his face grim as he looked at Straw Hat Luffy rushing towards him. "No-Fly World!"

Luffy's forward momentum faltered, and he instantly felt short of breath. The suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe made him unconsciously clench his fingers around his neck.

"Luffy, what's wrong?" Franky asked, looking at Luffy who had stopped in front of Caesar.

"Luffy!" Robin cried out in alarm as she saw Luffy fall to the ground.

"What did he do?" Smoker looked at the scene in confusion, then realized what he meant. "Everyone, get out of here immediately!"

"Robin, I'm going to deal with that guy and his men. You take the opportunity to rescue Luffy!" Franky shouted to Robin as he ran towards Caesar.

"Be careful, that man is definitely not an ordinary person," Robin warned as she ran towards Luffy.

"You bastard, what did you do to Luffy?!" Franky angrily blasted away the subordinate who was blocking his way, then immediately fired a laser at Caesar, "Franky Laser Cannon!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Robin used her arms to form wings to pick up Luffy, who was lying on the ground, and flew into the air. At this moment, she suddenly felt an unusual difficulty in breathing and her consciousness instantly dissipated.

Franky rushed towards Robin and Luffy, who had fallen from the sky. Seeing them unconscious, Franky angrily raised his hand towards Caesar, yelling, "You bastard!! Powerful..."

"Damn it, what happened?" Smoker stared in shock at the fallen Tashigi and the Straw Hat crew. They hadn't touched Caesar at all. Smoker gritted his teeth and charged toward Caesar.

"Whoosh!" Caesar looked at the Straw Hat crew and Smoker lying on the ground and laughed triumphantly. "Now they're all wiped out!"

……

Punk Hazard Central Lake

"What is that thing doing?" Nami (Sanji) grabbed the samurai's body and looked at the huge purplish-red slime on the burning ground opposite them with a puzzled expression. "This color gives me a bad feeling."

"Ah! It's so cold!"

"Tsk." Sanji clicked his tongue impatiently, put down the samurai he was holding, and ignored the purplish-red thing opposite him. "You two take care of that thing, I'm going down to find his body." After saying that, Sanji took off his clothes and jumped into the lake.

"What a nuisance, that useless cook," Zoro muttered, frowning as he watched Sanji jump into the lake.
