126: Chapter 125 The Three Generals Take Action"Huh?Luffy, what are you saying?You said you killed a Celestial Dragon?" All the crew members gathered in front of Luffy, their eyes wide, questioning him in hushed voices.They dared not let anyone else hear this news, lest they cause trouble.Rayleigh also looked at Luffy with a shocked expression.He knew this kid had always been very bold, but he hadn't expected him to be this audacious.The four girls rubbed their temples, shook their heads helplessly, and then recounted everything that had happened.Only then did everyone understand the cause and effect of the matter.
"So what do you plan to do next?If you had just beaten up a Celestial Dragon, Marine Headquarters would only have sent one admiral to deal with it.But now that a Celestial Dragon is dead here, I estimate that not only will three admirals be dispatched simultaneously, but they might even launch a Buster Call on this island!" Rayleigh said with a serious expression.He knew the power of the Buster Call all too well; it was a terrifying force capable of destroying an entire island.
Luffy's lips curled into a faint smile.He gently waved his arm, and an invisible force instantly engulfed Rayleigh.In the blink of an eye, the two vanished from their spot and entered the training space.
With the spatial seal complete, Luffy took a deep breath and then recounted everything that was about to happen to Rayleigh in detail.Finally, he told Rayleigh without any concealment that Ace was actually Roger's biological son.
Rayleigh frowned slightly after hearing this, a hint of doubt in his eyes.He slowly asked, "You mean, in a few days, Ace will be tried and sentenced at Marine Headquarters?Do you want me to join this operation to rescue Ace?"
Luffy shook his head slightly, replying firmly, "No, Mr.Rayleigh.If what you said is true, the three admirals will come to this island.With my crew's current strength, we are no match for them.Therefore, I hope you can join me in stopping them and buying my crew enough time to escape.Next, I will look for an opportunity to infiltrate Impel Down.As far as I know, my father's men, the Revolutionary Army, are there.With my identity, perhaps I can get their assistance."
As he spoke, Luffy's eyes gleamed with determination and resolve, as if he were prepared to face any hardship.He knew the road ahead was fraught with danger, but he was willing to pay any price to rescue Ace.
Rayleigh laughed and scolded, "You brat, you're always thinking of your comrades!Judging from your tone, you probably don't want your comrades to participate in this battle, right?Aren't you afraid of dying there?"
"Of course I'm scared!But I still stand by what I said: Ace is my brother, and I'll save him no matter the cost!" Luffy said with unwavering determination.
Rayleigh looked at the determined young man before him and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.He gently patted Luffy on the shoulder, indicating that he agreed to his decision.
Luffy smiled knowingly and left the training space with Rayleigh.
When they returned to the outside world, they found it in complete chaos.Gunfire and screams filled the air, plunging the entire Sabaody Archipelago into turmoil.
Seeing this, Luffy didn't hesitate to rush out of the tavern with his crew.Uta, standing nearby, nervously explained, "Shortly after Luffy and Rayleigh entered the training space, a large number of Marines suddenly landed on Sabaody Archipelago and are now hunting down pirates everywhere!"
Meanwhile, on the Sabaody Archipelago, Kizaru had easily defeated three Supernovas—Urouge, Hawkins, and Apoo.He looked at the three unconscious men lying on the ground and shook his head in boredom.Aokiji, having dealt with the other pirates, came to his side and said, "Alright, let's hurry and find the Straw Hat Pirates.They're the primary target of this operation!I never expected them to be so audacious, daring to attack a World Noble, and one of them is missing too."
After dealing with another group of pirates, Akainu snorted coldly, "Hmph, enough of this nonsense!If we don't hurry, these wretched guys will escape!" As he spoke, he launched another large-scale magma attack, successfully eliminating another group of pirates who were trying to escape.
Damn it!It's all that Straw Hat bastard's fault; now even a Shichibukai is here!Kid and another masked guy wielding a machete were struggling to deal with the robot that looked exactly like a bear.The letters PX-1 were etched on its shoulder, emanating a chilling aura.
Coincidentally, the same scene unfolded on Luo's side.Despite their exceptional strength, they were still overwhelmed by such a formidable enemy.After a grueling battle, they finally managed to defeat their foe.
The two pirate crews dared not delay for a moment, hurriedly returning to their respective ships and quickly sailing away from the Sabaody Archipelago.What a joke!Three Marine Admirals had already appeared, not to mention other powerful figures.Forget facing three Admirals simultaneously; even encountering any one of them individually would likely result in the complete annihilation of their entire crews!
Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew, who were preparing to return to the Thousand Sunny, were blocked by three identical robots.When they saw the robots' faces, their expressions instantly turned grim.That's right, they were none other than Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who had appeared with Moria last time!
"How is this possible?How can there be people who look exactly alike in the world?" Usopp's face was filled with disbelief.He gripped his slingshot tightly, his voice trembling as he shouted.Just then, Luffy struck without hesitation, using his Eight-Point Light Wheel technique to easily defeat one of the robots.When people saw the sparks constantly coming out of the robot's interior, they suddenly realized that these guys were all robots!
To avoid wasting time, everyone immediately swarmed forward and easily dispatched the remaining two robots in no time.Just as they were about to turn and leave, suddenly, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, blocking their path.Everyone looked up, gazing ahead.As the light particles converged, Kizaru's figure gradually emerged.
When Kizaru saw the three wrecked robots, he lazily remarked, "Oh dear, how terrifying!You actually managed to defeat three Pacifistas."
Just as everyone was cautiously preparing to retreat, a sudden, bone-chilling cold swept over them, causing them to shiver involuntarily.Then, Aokiji appeared before them; his icy gaze and powerful aura made the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive.Everyone's faces turned even more ashen, as if they could be squeezed dry.
At this moment, Luffy tightly protected the crew behind him, preparing to seize the opportunity to safely send them out of this dangerous situation.However, just as he was about to act, Akainu surged in with billowing lava, like a volcanic eruption, with astonishing force.The three admirals quickly surrounded the Straw Hat crew in a triangular encirclement, giving them no chance to escape.
Akainu's eyes widened in fury as he roared through gritted teeth, "You despicable pirates!Today is the day you will face justice!Taste my power—Great Fire Breath!" His enormous lava fist slammed down on the crowd like a burning meteor, its terrifying power leaving everyone speechless.
Faced with such a formidable foe, Luffy showed no fear.He frantically channeled the light and darkness elements within his body, continuously pouring them into the surrounding space.In the blink of an eye, a light and darkness shield, shimmering with an eerie glow, formed around his companions.Although the shield appeared somewhat shaky, with Luffy's utmost effort supporting it, it managed to withstand Akainu's attack.
At the same time, the other two admirals also unleashed their special techniques, creating a dazzling display of skills that made the scene incredibly chaotic and intense.Luffy gritted his teeth, straining to maintain his light and dark shield, silently praying that he could withstand the onslaught.
