"Gurgle..."
'
"A hundredfold increase or something..."
'
Usopp swallowed hard, his eyes gradually lighting up.
He felt as if he had a brighter future ahead of him!
Momo fruit, I love you to death!
"So it seems that Usopp's Devil Fruit ability has the greatest potential," Sanji said, stroking his chin.
"On the surface, that's true," west Yan nodded and said, "but it mainly depends on how strong the ability user is."
"If the user isn't powerful, then even the most powerful ability is useless."
"Putting everything else aside, Luffy could beat Usopp to a pulp right now."
Usopp: ...
Usopp, who was indulging in his fantasies, was immediately silenced upon hearing this.
Hey buddy, can we not talk like that?
He's still dreaming, you bastard!
"That's true." Sanji nodded and said, "Usopp, you'd better do your best!"
"knew!"
"You guys are so long-winded!"
Hahaha~
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, showing no sense of urgency at being chased by the poisonous gas.
Tea mustache:
Seeing everyone's reactions, Tea Beard immediately broke out in a large bead of sweat.
These guys are taking it a little too easy... They're running for their lives!
"Oh, right."
As if remembering something, Xi Yan turned to look at Nami and said, "Aren't you a Logia-type Devil Fruit user? Why were you knocked unconscious by Caesar?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Nami's face.
Nami herself wore an embarrassed expression.
"this...
"Can't you say?"
"No, that's not it..."
"
Seeing Nami's slightly embarrassed expression, Brook asked curiously, "Could it be... that your ability is also unusable like Merry's?"
Is the opponent's Devil Fruit ability that powerful that it can control two of their Devil Fruit users?
"No, that's not it."
Recalling the previous scene, Nami continued, "My abilities can still be used even in that strange space he created, but... I need to breathe."
"so....
'
Although Nami didn't finish her sentence, west Yan understood what she meant.
They must have been knocked unconscious by Caesar's power before they could escape.
That idiot...
After shaking his head, west Yan said, "Actually, you could have used your abilities to break out of the space created by Caesar."
.
Clouds are different from the wind, so they have a chance to break free.
"I thought of that too, but..." Nami said helplessly, "At the time, I was so oxygen-deprived that my mind went blank, and I couldn't think of a solution at all."
At that time, she didn't even know what was happening, let alone how to use her abilities to escape.
So...
This time, west Yan simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Looks like this guy is a rather formidable opponent," Sanji said, frowning. "No wonder he has a bounty of 300 million Berries."
"Three hundred million berries?"
Teabeard paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "You mean that bastard Caesar is a wanted criminal with a bounty of 300 million Berries?"
"yes."
Sanji gave the tea-bearded man a strange look and said, "You don't know?"
Having lived in the New World for so long, how could he not know that the person next to him was a wanted criminal with a bounty of 300 million Berries?
Tea mustache:
He knows nothing.
He only knew that Caesar was a brilliant scientist, but he didn't know that the other party was a wanted criminal.
If he had known earlier that the other party had such a high bounty, he wouldn't have been scammed so badly.
"Poor guy..."
Although Teabeard didn't say anything, Sanji still managed to glean some information from his face.
This guy really didn't know Caesar was a wanted criminal!
Zoro ignored the guy's reaction and stared into the distance, saying, "I wonder how Luffy and the others are doing."
"You'll know when we get there."
west Yan stared at the research institute in the distance and said, "Hold on tight, we need to get there as fast as we can!"
"profound!!"
"Tran, if you have something you want to do, just do it now," Franky said, glancing at Law. "Otherwise, the poison gas will be coming."
Although I haven't experienced it firsthand, the live stream footage just now showed how terrifying that poison gas was.
So it's best to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
"Then let's begin the counterattack," Luo said calmly.
"A counterattack?"
Luffy looked at Law with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean by counterattack?"
"Of course we should take action..."
Luo said, "There's no point in dawdling any longer, so let's get to work."
After saying that, Luo glanced at his surroundings and then noticed the surveillance Den Den Mushi in the distance.
"This location will be visible to that video Den Den Mushi in the distance," Luo said. "Could someone set fire to that pile of warship wreckage below?"
"Of course, if that doesn't work, we can force our way out of here."
"But this way, Caesar will discover our actions in advance."
Who knows what unexpected things the other party might do at that time?
"Ignite the wreckage below..."
'
Franky looked at the wreckage of the warship below with some distress and said, "If I were using my own body right now, it would be easy to set the wreckage on fire."
"But... Sanji's body can't do it."
While Sanji's body can ignite his legs through friction, it's rather unrealistic to expect him to set fire to distant wreckage.
Besides, he didn't know that move yet, so he couldn't do it at all.
"It seems the only option is to force a breakthrough," Luo said, frowning.
After saying that, he began to move little by little, clearly intending to activate his ability.
"No, there is still a way," Nico Robin said. "The chains I'm wearing aren't Seastone, so I can use my abilities."
"Let me see if I can find any shells down there."
After saying that, Nico Robin activated her Devil Fruit power, creating pairs of eyes in the wreckage of the warship below.
Soon, Robin found some shells in a corner.
"Found it~"
A moment later...
"boom!!"
A terrifying explosion rang out, instantly setting the wreckage of the warship ablaze!
"?!"
The navy personnel nearby watched this scene in shock and asked, "Why did the warship explode on its own?"
Did someone set off a bomb?
"Hey, who did this?"
"It wasn't us..."
'
"Who is that?"
I don't know...
"
"Forget all that, let's get to the research institute!" a naval lieutenant commander said, his face grim. "Otherwise, we'll all die out there!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the purple smoke that lingered on the mountain.
If they were to be touched by that thing, they would probably all die!
"profound!"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, everyone immediately ran towards the research institute.
Luffy and his crew, on the other hand, were choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Hey, Travis," Franky said, "get on with what you're doing, or we're all going to choke to death."
Hearing this, the others also looked up at Luo, intending to see what he was going to do.
"understood."
After saying that, Luo easily removed the chains binding him.
"?"
"!!"
Luffy looked at Law in surprise and said, "How were you able to remove the chains?"
"Because this was just an ordinary chain from the beginning," Luo said calmly, "so it can be easily broken with my abilities."
"A regular chain?"
"Hmm." Luo nodded and said, "To prevent things from being exposed and caught, I specifically replaced some of the sea stone chains with ordinary ones."
"The same goes for the chains on Nicole's body."
This is why he was able to remain calm throughout.
"No wonder Robin can use her powers." Luffy said with a look of sudden realization, "So the chains on you guys are just ordinary chains."
"How cunning!"
"That's called tactics!"
Law glanced at Luffy speechlessly. Did this guy even know how to talk?
What does it mean to be cunning?
That's called tactics, okay?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with this guy who doesn't seem very smart.
"Alright, we can get moving now." Luo glanced in the direction of the research institute and said, "With the smoke cover, Caesar won't be able to find us for the time being."
"ROOM!"
After he finished speaking, a power circle appeared around Luo, covering certain areas of the research institute.
Then, Luo's weapon appeared in his hand.
After glancing at the sea stone chains binding the group, Law activated his ability again, severing all the chains.
Seeing this, Luffy blinked, then stood up with a joyful expression and shouted, "Hahahaha, I'm free!"
"Don't yell so loudly, you idiot," Luo said, displeased.
Although being discovered wouldn't necessarily mean total defeat, sneaking in quietly would be the best option.
Unfortunately, Luffy ignored Law and laughed even more.
Luo:
Is this guy really brainless?
"It really feels so good to be free!" Perona clenched her fist and said, "I never want to be bound by seastone chains again!"
That feeling of helplessness was just too unbearable!
"Then let's execute the plan perfectly," Luo said. "That way, it won't be us trapped by the seastone chains."
As he spoke, Luo went over the plan in his mind again.
Yes, no problem.
Then, Law looked at Luffy and the others and said, "Alright, next..."
"
Before he could finish speaking, Luffy tore open the cage and stepped outside, saying, "I'm going to check out the situation!"
"Yahoo~"
Luo: ? ? ?
Seeing Luffy jump out without looking back, several question marks immediately appeared on Law's head.
Does this bastard not know what the word "plan" means?
what?
What on earth is he doing?!
"That bastard..."
'
"Our captain can be quite reckless like that if you're not careful," Nico Robin said with a chuckle.
"Indeed."
Franky smiled and nodded, saying, "I remember Usopp specifically reminded you of that."
Luo: ...
It seems there really is such a thing, but... who would have thought this guy would be so outrageous!
For a moment, Luo didn't know what to say.
"Alright, now that Luffy's already charged out, there's no need to hesitate," Perona said. "Just do what you want to do now."
Luo paused for a moment after hearing this, then sighed deeply.
What else could he say?
He was the one who proposed the alliance, so... we have no choice but to continue.
After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Law said, "Let's go, let's go to the Straw Hat leader's side first."
After saying that, Law jumped down from the high place and rushed towards Luffy on the tower.
"Terraman".
Luffy, adjusting his hat, turned to look at Law who had come up beside him and asked, "How are we going to get into the research lab?"
"Of course I used my abilities to get in," Luo said calmly. "But once you're inside, don't make a fuss, understand?"
"There are surveillance devices monitoring Den Den Mushi in there!"
"Okay, okay," Luffy said, picking his nose. "Just get started already."
"Click~"
A few veins popped out on Luo's forehead. How could this bastard be so annoying?
Okay, okay, calm down.
After taking another deep breath to calm himself down, Law activated his ability.
"ROOM!"
"Slaughterhouse!"
"What exactly happened?"
Monet, watching the live stream, frowned and asked, "Why did the warships outside suddenly explode?"
Now, the smoke is so thick that you can't even see what's going on inside the cage.
"Perhaps those navy men set it on fire accidentally," Vergo said casually. "Those guys are more careless than you think."
As a vice admiral in the G5 branch, he knew very well what kind of people these guys were.
"Careless..."
'
After glancing at Vergo's appearance, Monet's lips twitched slightly. This guy still had steak stuck to his face, how could he have the nerve to say such a thing?
After shaking his head to dispel the thought, Monet said, "I was wondering if those guys from Rooney's gang might be up to something."
"They're all bound by seastone chains, what tricks can they possibly pull?" Caesar said, waving his hand dismissively.
As a scientist, he knew very well what Seastone meant to ability users, so he wasn't worried that those guys would be able to escape.
Monet thought about it and realized that with the Seastone chains in place, there was nothing they could do.
"But now that's the case..." Caesar said, frowning, "we'll never be able to witness them being killed by the poison gas."
"Isn't a beggar's corpse also a work?" Monet said.
The corpses served as proof to the world that Caesar's poison gas killed Jinbukai and the Straw Hat Pirates, and that it was also a testament to their diligence.
Caesar thought about it and realized that made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.
Then, he grinned and said, "It's alright, there are plenty of experimental subjects on this island that can be used for demonstrations anyway, so using them to show the effects is just as good~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, plus the Marines from the G5 branch, are enough to support them!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
