Chapter 244: Momonosuke!!
A smile chuckled and sighed, "Indeed, Mr. Rodney knows quite a lot. You've got this one right."
Rodney always seemed to know secrets that ordinary people didn't, and even though he knew this, he said, "It's nothing. Rodney probably knows a bit too."
Although the Celestial Dragons didn't accept Doflamingo, the Five Elders were very protective of this guy, either due to his past as a Celestial Dragon or because he knew some of the world's secrets from his time as one. In any case, the result was that those five old folks protected him a lot.
A smile suddenly asked, "So, Mr. Rodney, are you here for Doflamingo's life, or is it something else?"
"You mean justice? For my justice!" Rodney laughed, "He wants to turn the world upside down, so I want to turn everything he's built over the years upside down. That would be very interesting, hehehe."
"In that case, I should retreat." A smile turned around and found that his men were motionless. He asked, "Did you create these illusions, Rodney?"
*Snap!*
With just a snap of his fingers, the Marines trapped in the illusion woke up, completely unaware of what had just happened. Rodney said, "I'm going to leave now. Hehehe, what's coming next will be very interesting. The collapse of the dynasty only needs one point to trigger it. Everything Doflamingo has built over the years will go down the drain. Let's go, Rodney, I'll show you what's interesting, and you'll enjoy the thrill of revenge."
"..." Rodney followed him, wanting to see how the collapse of the dynasty that Rodney mentioned would unfold.
"Then let's go. Ice Release!" He shouted, and an ice path appeared on the sea surface. He asked, "Where is Luffy's ship?"
"It's not far from here." Rodney stepped onto the ice path and showed him the way.
The Straw Hat Pirates' new ship, the Thousand Sunny, was parked not far from this coast.
However, the situation on the ship was not optimistic at all. Nami, Brook, and a little brat had been turned into abstract art. A burly, orange-haired woman from the Donquixote family, a member of the Trebol Army, and a user of the Art-Art Fruit, was laughing uproariously. Her triangular-framed glasses reflected the sunlight, and her laughter was sharp and unpleasant.
The Donquixote Family, a member of the Trebol Army, an Art-Art Fruit user with the ability to turn her targets into works of art.
Nami and the others had fallen victim to her abilities and been turned into art pieces.
"Tsk, it looks like I arrived just in time." Appearing at the bow of the Thousand Sunny, Rodney took a look at everyone on board and saw Nami, whose face had turned into an abstract painting. She was overjoyed. "Mr. Rodney?!"
"Nami?"
"It's me! Hurry and save me, Mr. Rodney! Get rid of this big, ugly woman!" Nami said angrily, her abstract face contorting in a disturbing way, leaving Rodney momentarily speechless.
"Nami, can you turn around? This looks really..." He couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"What are you standing there for? Rodney, I can't take it anymore!" Nami said angrily.
Chopper saw Rodney and was instantly terrified. This guy was on the same level as the young master, and he didn't dare to confront him. He felt paralyzed when those red eyes locked onto him, and he felt like his limbs and body were pierced by rusty nails.
Kasuri Genjutsu!
Mystic Art: Iron Clad Illusion Technique!
"So, when there's nothing going on, don't make eye contact with me," said Rodney, as he threw out his Chakra Threads and pulled Chopper's body, tossing him out of the Thousand Sunny and into the sea.
As Chopper was defeated, Nami regained her original beautiful appearance, her short hair had grown longer over the two years, and her figure had improved. She returned to her original body and gave Rodney a radiant smile.
"You came just in time, Mr. Rodney. By the way, how did you end up here?" Nami asked in confusion.
"I'm here to save you and Chopper, of course." He bent down and said with a smile, "It's been a while, Chopper." He reached out and patted Chopper's furry face. It felt really good.
Then, he turned his gaze to the little brat in the peach-colored kimono with the shaved samurai head.
Kozuki Momonosuke!
The word among the pirates was, "Momonosuke must die!"
This little brat... hehehe...
He exuded a terrifying black aura, which turned Momonosuke into a small peach-colored dragon who hid behind Nami, saying, "Nami-san, I'm scared."
Nami patted Momonosuke's dragon head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Momonosuke. Mr. Rodney is not a scary person. He's helped us a lot."
"But, his eyes looked really scary at me." Momonosuke shivered and said he felt like Rodney wanted to kill him, and his killing intent was very strong, specifically directed at him alone.
Rodney, at this moment, stepped onto the ship. He looked at the scene on the ship and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Nothing much, we just found a little trouble from Wano, Kozuki Momonosuke," Rodney explained. "Isn't he the son of Kozuki Oden?"
Nami frowned and looked at Momonosuke. "But isn't Momonosuke the son of Kozuki Toki? I thought his father was Kozuki Sukiyaki."
Momonosuke, in his dragon form, was shocked. "How...how did you...?"
So, he's admitting it, huh?
Nami raised an eyebrow. "What's going on, Momonosuke? Have you been lying to us all this time?"
Momonosuke's dragon body trembled, and he tried to explain, "Th-th-that's not true. I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Trying to be clever, huh?" Rodney chuckled. "Well, Kozuki Momonosuke, it seems that you are the son of Kozuki Oden, who was the first captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and later joined the Pirate King's crew. But unfortunately, Kozuki Oden had such an illustrious career, and yet he produced such an incompetent son like you."
Momonosuke's dragon body was trembling, and he desperately tried to defend himself. "Your Excellency, why are you saying this? I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Trying to be clever again?" Rodney smiled. "Oh, dear, you're quite a cunning little brat. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nami, how about we throw this little guy into the sea since he's of no use to you?"
"He's just a child, Mr. Rodney," Nami said
, willing to trust him despite Rodney's claims.
"Really?" Rodney raised an eyebrow. "Then let me scare him a little."
Nami asked, "What do you mean?"
"Do you know who his enemy is? Or who's chasing after him?" Rodney questioned.
"Who?" Nami asked.
"Yonko, Kaido of the Hundred Beasts!"
Nami: !!!
Chopper: !!!
Momonosuke: !!!
Rodney: *clang!* He unsheathed the Wild Katana, Kikoku, from his belt. With a cold expression, he said, "It seems that Luffy's ship has some trouble on board. As an ally, I don't mind helping you get rid of that trouble."
The glint of the blade reflected Momonosuke's terrified face, and with his eyes rolling back, he foamed at the mouth and passed out.
