Chapter 661: The Battle Has Begun!
Right now, the only solid information we have is this.
Inside Greedwach, there are forbidden zones, and there are wild gods.
Whether Lilith can truly leave that island is still unknown.
But judging from everything we have seen, it is very likely the same situation as Adam. Just like Adam was bound to Morbig Island, Lilith is probably bound to Greedwach.
After all, the two of them share the same kind of nature.
"I see."
"Thank you, both of you."
Ryuunosuke smiled as he looked at them.
"If you do not want to join this battle, then do not."
"Fighting your former teammates is still a little awkward."
Awkward?
"It's fine."
Keshia answered without hesitation.
"Those guys from before, either you already beat them, or they are already dead."
"We do not really have many friends or close connections there."
"Roy, Roger, Wades…"
"They became Guardians because they had clear goals."
"We were more like collaborators."
"Now that we are not on the same side, there is nothing to hesitate about."
"Just like our relationship right now, if we lose contact tomorrow, it means nothing."
"Yeah." Ryuunosuke nodded once.
"Do what you want. Go rest."
Snap.
He snapped his fingers, and Keshia and Brook vanished, returning to their cabins.
After sending them off, Ryuunosuke walked to the bow alone.
To be honest, the past few years felt unreal.
From someone who had almost no strength, he had climbed all the way to the top of the sea.
It was so dreamlike that even in a dream, you would not dare imagine it.
But his life was not as easy as it looked from the outside.
Najenda, Chrollo, Yahiko, and the others were brought into this world.
That alone had already bent the rules of this sea.
That was why Ryuunosuke was determined to seize the Seed of God.
Not only to restore balance to this world, but also to make sure that the lives of those he brought here would not end in regret.
Boom boom…
A massive fluctuation rolled in from the distant sea.
"Are they here?"
"They finally showed up. We've been waiting long enough."
Ryuunosuke rose to his feet.
At the same time, his Rinnegan activated instantly.
With Observation Haki layered over it, the kind that let him hear everything, the surrounding situation poured into his senses in a single breath.
"Captain, is there a fight?"
Ban was the first to rush out, eyes blazing.
It was obvious the crew had been cooped up these last two days.
The last time on God's Island, he never got to fight to his heart's content.
Now that battle was finally here, his blood was boiling.
"Yes." Ryuunosuke's voice stayed calm.
"The Guardians are coming."
"Roger is not here, and Wades is not here either."
"The members we defeated before all seem to have disappeared."
He frowned slightly as he said it.
If they were truly targeting Ryuunosuke and his group, the best choice would have been to send someone familiar with them. Someone who had fought them, someone who could provide tactical advice.
But this time, not a single face was someone he had seen before.
Even so, every single aura out there was heavy.
No doubt about it. They were all strong.
"Who cares if they are here or not!" Ban snapped, swinging out his three section staff as his fighting spirit climbed.
"Even if they come, we wipe them all out!"
"This time, we do not let anyone escape."
"That's right." Meliodas and Chrollo walked up together.
"In the past, we were still testing things, so we were too lenient."
"Now, anyone who shows up here is an enemy."
"If we let them go, they will crawl back and cause trouble next time."
Meliodas agreed without hesitation.
Before, Ryuunosuke had shown mercy more than once.
He had also told them to test the waters first.
So in many situations, people who could have been killed managed to escape instead.
This time, that could not happen.
"If they want to run, let's see if they can." Yahiko stepped forward slowly.
Boom boom boom boom…
Several summoned beasts appeared around him, their presence pressing down like a storm front.
"Oh dear." Najenda arrived with the First Division, moving in a steady line.
"You all are putting a lot of pressure on us."
"It looks like we will have to fight tooth and nail this time."
Even with that pressure, Najenda's eyes were firm.
She was ready.
"Should I… participate too?" Kobayashi pointed to herself, face blank as always.
"Kobayashi, stay on the ship," Ryuunosuke decided after a brief pause.
"If anything goes wrong, you and Geno handle it together."
It was the most suitable job for her.
Kobayashi was extremely strong. Otherwise, Ryuunosuke would never have made her a squad leader so quickly.
And that was not even counting her three headed dragon subordinates, Connor, Thor, and Elma.
That was a terrifying force to keep in reserve.
…
"They're here!"
Once everything was set, the enemy entered their range.
Ryuunosuke murmured, then shot forward.
The rest of the Dragon Hunter Pirates surged after him like a tide.
"Big brother…"
"You cannot pass."
Just as Sabo and Luffy tried to follow, Kobayashi blocked them.
"Huh?"
Bang!
Luffy threw a punch straight at her.
It looked fierce, but Kobayashi caught it effortlessly.
Luffy's eyes widened. He tried to yank his hand back, but it would not budge.
"Your strength is too weak," Kobayashi said flatly.
"The reason you were allowed to accompany the captain through all this is not because you are strong enough."
"It is because of your relationship with the captain."
"Of course, if you want to go, defeat me first."
"No, you do not even need to defeat me."
"As long as you can make me move more than one meter, I will allow you to pass."
After she finished speaking, she released his hand.
Then she took off her glasses.
"You…"
Luffy's face twisted with anger.
"Fourth Gear…"
"Luffy!" Sabo grabbed his shoulder instantly.
"Sabo!"
"She said it right to my face!"
"I'm sending her flying!"
Luffy was furious.
He had never been talked down to like that before.
Buzz…
Three overwhelming auras locked onto him.
Sabo instinctively stepped back.
Connor, Thor, and Elma.
Their killing intent was not loud, but it was sharp enough to make the air feel heavier.
"Uh, we will stay." Sabo forced a laugh and pulled Luffy back.
"Luffy's cerebellum and cerebrum are both underdeveloped, so please do not bother with him."
"Hahaha. Excuse him, Miss Kobayashi."
Sabo dragged him away.
"Fourth Gear, Snake Man!"
The next moment, Luffy's shout rang out again.
How could he be the type to swallow an insult and walk away?
Taking advantage of Sabo's distraction, he launched himself forward.
Bang!
"Ow, ow, ow…"
A fist slammed down on his head before he could even start.
"Why are you causing trouble at a time like this?" a furious voice snapped.
"Do you even understand what kind of situation we are in?"
Nami stood there, panting hard, eyes blazing as she cursed him out.
