Sabaody Archipelago.
Rumble!
Explosions rocked Peninsula #1. Just minutes ago, Luffy and his crew had knocked out a CelestialDragon at a human slave auction. Soon after the entire peninsula had instantly become a battlefield.
Marine Admiral Kizaru and Pacifista units of the Science Division had landed on the island to provide support. Now the arrogant Supernovas including Luffy had immediately began their big escape.
Boom!
Not far from the auction house, a laser beam exploded, taking out several of Trafalgar Law's subordinates.
"Damn, why would a Shichibukai appear in a place like this?!" Law stared at the Pacifista blocking his path, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He didn't know that the Pacifista in front of him was a humanoid weapon developed by the World Government based on Bartholomew Kuma. The entire Heart Pirates crew instantly felt like they were up against a formidable foe.
"Bartholomew Kuma, please step aside. We've decided to leave here..."
Biu!
Before Luo could finish, the Pacifista gave its answer with a scorching laser blast.
"Room: Scan!"
A circular cyclone emerged from Law's palm, instantly expanding into a huge semi-circular space that enveloped his crew and the Pacifista. As the laser blast came, Law had already moved his crew to a safe place, replacing them with several unlucky Marines.
Boom!
The horrible explosion was accompanied by a large amount of smoke and dust.
"Run, I'll stop him!" Law's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
"Captain, we'll go together!" Bepo the white bear groaned.
"A Shichibukai isn't that easy to deal with. You'll only die if you stay here. Go!" Law shouted solemnly. He knew he had no chance of winning against the Pacifista.
"Super Electromagnetic Railgun!"
A strong voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd. Then, a gold coin, traveling at three times the speed of sound, created a laser-like orange beam in the air, directly blasting the Pacifista's head to pieces.
Boom!
The Pacifista's mechanical body exploded, leaving a huge crater on the ground. The strong wind produced by the passing gold coin blew the Heart Pirates crew off their feet. Even Law's hat was blown off.
"Is that guy a monster?"
Law's pupils shrank as he watched the black-haired boy walking slowly toward him. If it weren't for the other person flicking a gold coin in his hand, he wouldn't have believed that the Pacifista was killed in a single blow.
"Captain, that guy is so scary, will he eat me?!" Bepo hid behind Law, trembling.
"Idiot, people don't like to eat bear meat!....anymore" Law kicked Bepo away with a dark look on his face.
After a moment's thought, he still walked up to meet Adrian. "Thanks."
"Mikasa's signature move is really easy to use!" Adrian nodded in satisfaction, then said directly to Law, "Trafalgar Law, are you interested in joining me?"
A look of surprise appeared on Law's face, and he was about to refuse, but Adrian spoke again.
"Don't rush to refuse. I can give you some time to think about it, but if I get a negative answer when we meet next time... your Op-Op Fruit will be mine!"
"Oh, and by the way!" As the two crossed paths, Adrian deliberately lowered his voice, saying with a half-smile, "The war that's about to start is very dangerous. Players at your level shouldn't intervene whenever they wish. If you don't want to be killed by me there, you'd better not participate!"
Although Law's strength was average, Adrian was quite interested in the absolute control ability of the Op-Op Fruit within a limited space. And Law also had good medical skills. If he could recruit him, he would be a good subordinate. But he didn't force it. After all, the "Immortal Surgery" that could grant eternal life was also something he was extremely interested in.
After Adrian finished speaking, he ignored Law's reaction and walked into the auction house with a swagger. He had come to Sabaody to hunt Luffy, and he had no intention of letting the three Celestial Dragons in the auction house go. After all, with those three pieces of shits, he could gain a subord... well, a loyal female fan. How could Adrian leave such a good thing to that silly boy, Luffy?
"Haaah..."
It wasn't until Adrian's figure disappeared into the auction house that Law let out a long sigh of relief. Without him even realizing it, his back was already drenched in cold sweat. The pressure this black-haired young man gave off was truly terrifying. Law hadn't even dared to breathe in front of him.
"Is he coming for my Op-Op Fruit?"
Thinking of this, Law couldn't help but shudder, but he quickly dismissed the idea. If his target was truly the Op-Op Fruit, there was no need to help him at all.
"And what does he mean by the impending war?" Law frowned, suddenly confused. The news of Ace's public execution had not yet been made public by the World Government and the Marines at this time. So, apart from Adrian, the world-hopper, no one knew the news yet.
"Captain, are we really going to join that monster?" Bepo approached with a cute face and asked.
"Idiot, how is that possible?! We already have our own pirate crew!" Law tugged on Bepo's ear and ordered without hesitation, "Retreat, let's get out of here first!"
"But boss, what's that guy doing in the auction house at a time like this? Everyone else has already run away except for the three Celestial Dragons?!" A pirate asked with a puzzled look.
"Could it be... that guy's goal is the Celestial Dragons?!" Law's eyes widened in horror. He felt as if he had been shocked by electricity. He turned his eyes toward the auction house and said in a trembling voice, "Crazy... another lunatic has come!"
"Everyone, run! I'm afraid Sabaody is about to have a big mess!"
