"All of you present are trash!!!"
These words...
Were like poking a gun into someone's ear!
Hatred instantly filled the air...!!!
Even...
Even though he knew Capone Bege's words were directed at the World Government and the Marines, the pirates also felt uneasy.
This area-of-effect cannon was too cruel~~~
"You damned brat!! Today, let this frog in the well witness what it means to have a wider world beyond!!!"
Marcus Mars stepped forward, his anger surging.
Shepherd Ju Peter and Jaygarcia Saturn followed closely behind~~~
The three Five Elders who were originally attacking Luffy had all now come before the Grand Fortress~~~
"Destroy it!!"
Marcus Mars roared. The three Five Elders struck simultaneously~~~
Under their combined force, even a Yonko like Luffy would be no match...
Under this powerful offensive, space instantly shattered~~~
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The combined force of the three violently struck the gate of the Grand Fortress~~~
Terrifying energy waves touched the surface of the Grand Fortress, and there seemed to be an invisible protective layer on its surface, completely isolating this energy wave...!!!
There were ripples, sometimes visible, sometimes not, like a gentle breeze ruffling a lake, making no waves~~~
And then...
The terrifying impact produced by the combined force of the three was like a clay ox entering the sea, completely disappearing without a trace~~~
"Lava-Lava: Meteor Volcanic Ash!!!"
At this moment, Sakazuki, whether out of annoyance or wanting to put on a show in front of the Five Elders, actually directly opened fire from long range!!!
Rumble rumble rumble~~~
Under the effect of his Lava-Lava Fruit, Sakazuki's back instantly spewed out rolling columns of lava fire.
The momentum of this eruption was like a battleship's main cannon firing!!!
Under such an eruptive momentum, countless terrifying levels of lava instantly soared into the sky!!!
In the sky, they condensed into countless gigantic fire rain droplets, shooting down towards Capone Bege's Grand Fortress~~~
Yes...
They were shooting down, not colliding!!!
Their speed was like countless fire cannonballs fired from the sky, violently striking the body of the Grand Fortress!!!
Rumble rumble rumble!
Wave after wave of meteor volcanic ash formed patterns on the walls of the Grand Fortress~~~
But that invisible protective shield was like a dimensional barrier, completely isolating the inside and outside, making them two different worlds...
No matter how fierce the external attacks, the inner walls of the protective shield suffered no damage at all~~~
"Even lava cannot cause him any damage...???"
Looking at this scene, which was simply too outrageous, Sengoku's face turned even uglier than a pig's liver.
Vice Admiral Tsuru said: "The introduction of that immovable lock mentioned that as long as its effect is active, any attack cannot destroy this building... And Capone Bege's transformation is precisely a building. Obviously, that lock is truly at work!"
"This is impossible!!!"
Marcus Mars's face darkened, and he attacked again.
Shepherd Ju Peter also made a move!!!
But no matter how these two old men unleashed their power, the Grand Fortress standing in front of them remained completely still!!!
Even...
At the gate of the Grand Fortress, a figure stood just a foot away from the door~~~
This person was actually Capone Bege's main body!
He stood casually, his right hand holding a cigar placed on his lips, puffing away.
He didn't speak, just smoked his cigar, quietly watching the Five Elders perform~~~
Especially the expression on his face—that arrogant expression exclusive to smokers~~~
Although he didn't say a single word, the Five Elders' minds were constantly bombarded by that sentence Capone Bege had just said~~~
"All of you present are trash!"
Again and again~~~
Constantly impacting their minds!!!
And their current performance also seemed to prove to the world... Capone Bege was right...
"Golden Lion-senpai, I want to use my Devil Fruit ability to transfer you in. Please don't resist!! Don't try to save face!!"
At this moment, Trafalgar Law appeared at the skylight on the top floor of the Grand Fortress, and he also looked somewhat distant.
Upon hearing these words, Shiki immediately sensed a strange power trying to move him from his original spot~~~
His Conqueror's Haki almost reflexively began to resist.
But the next moment, he understood that this was the same treatment he and Luffy had just received~~~
However, because Luffy was injured at that time, he had no resistance at all and was directly transferred into the Grand Fortress!
And since Shiki was not injured now, he would naturally not be transferred for no reason.
Although he didn't know what Trafalgar Law was trying to find him for, with his intelligence, he quickly realized that the other party definitely needed his Devil Fruit ability.
And looking at the current situation, Shiki naturally could escape alone.
But if he wanted to bring others along, it wouldn't be a simple matter!
The appearance of Capone Bege's Grand Fortress... undoubtedly opened up a "new path" for the pirates to retreat...
Thinking of this, Shiki looked at Mihawk. "Kid, this isn't a suitable place for a sparring match! Let's go!"
"Good! I had the same intention!!!"
Facing Shiki's suggestion, Mihawk agreed without hesitation~~~
On one hand, the sudden entry of the World Government completely broke the balance of this war!
Mihawk and Shiki wanted to have a swordsmanship match in this situation. It was clearly impossible to fully enjoy it!
On the other hand, there was Shanks' appearance!!!
His good friend was helping the pirates against the Marines, while he himself stood on the Marines' side. This clearly made Mihawk very uncomfortable.
Since Shiki spoke now, Mihawk naturally relented~~~
He made a beckoning gesture: "Come on!"
Shiki looked at Trafalgar Law from the top floor of the Grand Fortress: "Kid, put me in!"
"Okay!"
Trafalgar Law snapped his fingers~~~
Shiki instantly vanished from his original spot, then reappeared inside the Grand Fortress!
"Hmm? The decor inside is actually so luxurious???"
Appearing inside the Grand Fortress, Shiki looked left and right, somewhat surprised~~~
"Bege is indeed someone who knows how to enjoy life."
Trafalgar Law nodded slightly, then opened the door and said, "Time is tight, I won't say much more. The situation is already very clear. If there's no outside interference, the pirates will suffer heavy casualties in this war."
As for attracting other pirates, Trafalgar Law didn't care!!!
However... he didn't want the World Government and the Marines to gain too much advantage!!!
"So you mean you want this old man to use his Devil Fruit ability to lift this Grand Fortress into the sky, right?"
He just lightly snapped his fingers. It was already obvious to Trafalgar Law's thoughts.
"As expected of the two great kings of the old era! Golden Lion's wisdom is indeed superior to the masses!"
Trafalgar Law praised with a smile, then nodded: "With Capone Bege's Grand Fortress's defense, my transfer ability, and your powerful floating ability, we can completely minimize the pirates' casualties!!!"
"Wahahahaha...!!!"
Hearing this, Golden Lion laughed heartily~~~
He had to admit, Trafalgar Law's idea was very clever!!!
He naturally wouldn't foolishly ask Trafalgar Law why he wanted to do this~~~
He had seen so much in the video just now, so naturally no one wanted the World Government to win in this war!!!
Thinking of this, Shiki responded: "Alright! This old man has no problem here! You go... this old man will go out and send all the pirates outside into the sky!!! That also counts as selling Whitebeard a favor!"
"Good! Then thank you very much, Golden Lion!" Receiving Golden Lion's consent, Trafalgar Law also felt relieved~~~
Then, Golden Lion burst out from the back door, swiftly flying towards those pirate ships!
Wherever he passed, all the pirate ships were touched by him~~~
Then he said to Whitebeard: "Whitebeard, let your little brats retreat first. Leave the Grand Fortress as your stronghold, and hold off the Marines!!!"
Upon witnessing the formidable defense of the Grand Fortress, Whitebeard probably understood what Golden Lion wanted to express.
Instantly, he gave an order: "All my children, board the ship! Captains, stay and welcome them!!"
"Pops??"
"Huh??"
"Pops, we can't escape alone!!"
...
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were instantly dumbfounded.
"Believe me, this is the only way to save everyone!!!"
"Don't make me repeat myself a second time! This is a captain's order!!"
Whitebeard's voice was very serious. When the three words "captain's order" were spoken, everyone knew that this order absolutely could not be questioned!!!
"Quick!! Board the ship!!"
"Do as Pops says!!"
"All aboard!!"
...
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates complied one after another.
"We should also retreat quickly!!!"
"Quick! Get on that battleship!!!"
Those pirates and criminals who escaped from Impel Down also rushed towards the super Impel Down battleship without hesitation~~~
A pirate ship flew up from the sea, soaring into the sky!
The strong ones on the pirate side unleashed their full power, attacking the Marines to intercept the pirate ship flying into the sky!
Especially since Borsalino and Sakazuki were "especially considerate"!
After all... their two abilities still couldn't affect the pirate ship flying at high altitude too much!!!
"Destroy the pirate ship!"
Marcus Mars decisively ordered.
But just as the three Five Elders, who were in a closed circle, were about to pursue the pirate ship, a powerful force suddenly struck from the right side!!!
"—"
After Trafalgar Law's "quick surgery" and emergency treatment, Luffy came out of the Grand Fortress~~~
As soon as he came out, he was full of power!!!
Marcus Mars just turned his head, and Luffy's gigantic fist already enveloped him~~~
Bang... (Money)
Root
Since Marcus Mars had no time to dodge, his figure instantly twisted and he was violently sent flying!!!
"Nani????"
Jaygarcia Saturn's brow furrowed. His gaze then fell on Luffy, and he coldly shouted, "Perfect timing, kill him!!"
Instantly, he and Shepherd Ju Peter simultaneously launched an attack, striking at Luffy!!!
However, just as the two attacked Luffy, Luffy's figure instantly disappeared~~~
Then they saw Luffy appear inside the gate of the Grand Fortress. He put his arm around Capone Bege's shoulder and grinned: "Hahahaha! Can't hit me, can you? Na-na-na-na-na~~~"
Luffy's mocking face...
So annoying!!
Too annoying!!!
Ugh~~~
Jaygarcia Saturn and Shepherd Ju Peter instantly felt blood rush to their heads. They almost spat out their internal organs!!!
"Go to hell!!!"
Jaygarcia Saturn's trident then pointed at Luffy~~~
And then...
Luffy pressed his face against the inner surface of the protective shield and made a funny face at Jaygarcia Saturn: "Na-na-na-na-na~~~"
Ugh!!!
Jaygarcia Saturn and Shepherd Ju Peter instantly felt a tightening in their throats!!!
A mouthful of blood surged upward~~~
Infuriating!!!
Too infuriating!!!
Ah ah ah ah...!!!
Damn it!
