I could manage to maneuver before, but not anymore! I've completely put myself on the opposite side of the World Government!
The only possibility now is to seize the opportunity to kill a top-tier expert!
Hopefully, this will deter most people, as long as we hold out until Luffy jumps out of Elbaf!
These people probably won't even think about fighting to the death with me anymore!
But before that, to buy time, we need to use deterrence first!
After scanning the area, Shanks' eyes finally landed on Blackbeard!
Of all the pirates on the high seas right now, Blackbeard is the most dangerous! He has the most powerful followers!
Even powerful figures like the Red Earl and the Golden Lion can't compare to him!
This will be one of the biggest obstacles on Luffy's path to becoming the Pirate King!
I have a deep-seated grudge against him, so let's settle things now!
Blackbeard suddenly noticed that Shanks' eyes had become extremely dangerous, and his killing intent surged!
204. Straw Hat Luffy's response: I'm here!
Blackbeard felt a slight chill run down his spine. Was Shanks planning to drag him down with him before he died?
Probably!
With that thought in mind, Blackbeard slowed down his attack pace slightly!
He started to panic! His ultimate goal was to obtain the great treasure!
Instead of fighting Shanks to the bitter end!
It would be fine if a group of people took down Shanks, but what if Shanks only focused on attacking one of them?
That would be a very bad situation!
Boom!! But that's exactly what Shanks was thinking, and a deep red, murderous, and domineering aura surged forth!!
A crimson storm, brimming with the aura of Conqueror's Haki, swept out!
It made all the powerful take notice!
"Watch out!! Shanks is going to fight to the death!"
"Is he insane?! For Straw Hat Luffy's sake, he doesn't want to become the Pirate King himself, and he's going to fight me to the death?!"
"They'd rather die in battle than reveal a single piece of information?! How foolish!"
"Don't be afraid, everyone!! No matter what, we are much stronger than them!!"
...That's true!
However, the attacks from Shiki and the others have slowed down considerably!
Nobody wants to be targeted by Shanks at this time because of their excessive behavior!
If a top-tier expert were truly willing to pay any price to target one person, even if it meant being surrounded by numerous other powerful individuals!
There's also a very high chance they'll be taken away!
Nobody wants to be the one who might be taken away!
Of course, they would love to see other top experts push themselves to the limit!
Ideally, the fight should end in mutual destruction or even mutual death!
In that case, they will have two fewer strong competitors!
Shanks launched a desperate attack on Blackbeard!
Blackbeard was unwilling to fight Shanks to the death, so he switched from offense to defense to preserve his strength as much as possible. As a result, he was forced to retreat by Shanks!
Rumble! The entire Giant Palace was engulfed in devastating attacks, which destroyed one towering building after another!
Despite Akainu's fierce attack, King Groot managed to defeat many of the Navy's strongest members!
But their own situation is becoming increasingly dangerous!
"Do you really not know which is more important, your own life or the whereabouts of Straw Hat Luffy? If you persist any longer, all that awaits you is the destruction of Elbaf!" Akainu said coldly!
Although unwilling, Sengoku managed to withstand the onslaught of powerful giants from all sides!
After all, Akainu is now the Fleet Admiral of the Navy! At this time, it's impossible to go against Akainu!
Besides, even the world government has agreed, so there's no reason for me to think too much about it!
On the contrary, Garp is more carefree. He can disobey orders without hesitation, and now he's just standing by, picking his nose and watching everything!
As long as no one attacks him!
He was happy to do so!
If someone attacks him, he'll retaliate in a small, token way!
"Hmph!!" Groot didn't answer, explain, or agree!
He would never betray his friends!
"Don't blame us for courting your own death!" Akainu sneered.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a large number of pacifists joined the battlefield, and the Seraphim began to attack all sides even more recklessly!
King Groot was tough, but he was even tougher!!
"Straw Hat Boy!! Are you just going to stand by and watch your friends die?" Golden Lion roared from the crowd!
He was getting impatient! If things continued like this, he probably wouldn't get any news at all!
Even if the Red-Haired Pirates and the Giant Kingdom are ultimately destroyed, it won't benefit them at all!
We can't extract any information, and what we're doing right now is a complete waste of effort!
"You bastard, where are you?!" the Golden Lion roared.
Just when everyone thought no one would respond, a familiar and loud voice rang out across the entire battlefield!
It attracted everyone's attention!
"I'm here! Husband!"
205. Boiling Point!!! The Straw Hat Crew, the focus of everyone's attention, has turned their swords on the line!
On a hillside in Elbaf, the wall suddenly pushed open!
After Luffy and his crew checked that no one was around, they came out!
“If we walk another five kilometers along the island, we’ll reach the place where we hid the boat earlier!” Robin said.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here, and with the forest as cover, we should be able to leave smoothly!" Nami breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, causing everyone to look in the direction from which the loud noise came!
Looking into the distance, there stands the Giant's Palace, where a force of powerful warriors and pirates from all over the country has gathered!
When this battle breaks out at this time, everyone's first thought is naturally that they may have discovered the Straw Hat Boy's whereabouts!
“They’re so strong, they’ll be fine…” Usopp said!
But Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and the others suddenly stopped in their tracks!
They were stronger, and although they were far apart, they could sense that Shanks and Groot were in great danger!
They could die at any moment! Are they just going to turn around and leave like this? Back when they were with the Big Mom Pirates!
They've already lost a friend of the fur tribe, are they going to lose another one?
"Straw Hat Master, don't do anything foolish! We need to leave as soon as possible so that Shanks and the others' efforts won't be wasted!" Law had worked with the Straw Hats a few times before, and seeing Straw Hat's expression...
My heart suddenly skipped a beat; this situation was bad!
Crocodile, seemingly oblivious, continued smoking, looking at Straw Hat Boy with a puzzled expression and asking, "What's wrong?"
[Zoro #2: If Luffy could be persuaded, he wouldn't be Luffy. Law is too naive!!]
So the next moment, Luffy suddenly turned around and heard Shiki roar! He responded!!
"I'm here!!"
These words, spoken with an air of dominance and unparalleled clarity, left Crocodile stunned, his cigar slipping from his mouth!
Has Straw Hat Boy gone mad?! So many people are here for him!
They had clearly already left that dangerous place, and even now, there were still some search teams from various forces outside!
But their strength certainly isn't that great! As long as they move forward, they'll most likely be able to seize this opportunity and quickly escape Elbaf!
Once they're out at sea, even if they spot them, how easy would it be to catch them?!
But to everyone's surprise, the Straw Hat Boy responded to someone else's roar!
Where's his brain? Where's this idiot's brain?!
Zoro and the others were taken aback for a moment, then understood—this was Luffy all along!
