129: Chapter 128 Luffy Gets Slapped AwayRayleigh forced Akainu back with a single sword strike, then swiftly arrived in front of Luffy.His sharp gaze fixed ahead, revealing a resolute and determined air.Faced with the three approaching admirals, even a powerful figure like Rayleigh couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.The passage of time had made him feel powerless; if he could return to his youth, he certainly wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Despite the excruciating pain in his body, Luffy struggled to his feet.He gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.Even facing such a powerful enemy, he had never given up his will to fight.The three admirals slowly approached them, their steps steady and powerful, radiating a suffocating pressure.They were prepared to go all out and deliver the final blow to Luffy and Rayleigh.
However, at this critical moment, a figure appeared before Luffy like lightning.It was Kuma!Before the three admirals could react, Luffy was sent flying by a single blow.This sudden turn of events instantly darkened the faces of the three admirals, their eyes widening as they glared angrily at Kuma.
Just as they were about to question Kuma about his actions, their Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.The three admirals frowned, answered the phone, and listened to the instructions.After hearing them, their eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness.They glared fiercely at the expressionless Kuma, and finally could only turn and leave with a heart full of anger.
"Damn it!Damn it!I must report this to the higher-ups this time, and we must revoke Kuma's Shichibukai status!We were so close, we could have killed that brat!" Akainu angrily pounded his fist on the table, venting his frustration and rage.His voice echoed in the room, filled with frustration and resentment.On the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh stood rooted to the spot, staring intently at the expressionless Kuma before him.His eyes revealed a complex emotion, seemingly puzzled and worried by Kuma's actions.After a moment, Rayleigh turned and slowly returned to the tavern.
Although he didn't know Kuma's true intentions, Luffy seemed safe at least for the time being.At that moment, high in the sky, Luffy was tightly enveloped by a giant air bear paw, flying rapidly forward.Luffy himself was completely asleep, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
To ensure its host could get sufficient rest, the system diligently helped Luffy maintain his Dark Form.This mysterious power dimmed the surrounding light, creating a unique atmosphere.Time passed slowly, and after three full days, Luffy's figure began to slowly fall.Finally, like a falling star, he crashed heavily into a dense forest.
The sudden impact jolted Luffy awake from his sleep.He rubbed his eyes, looking around blankly at his unfamiliar surroundings.After a while, he realized he had arrived in a new place.Luffy quickly stood up, deactivated his Dark Form, but a sudden, sharp pain shot through his body, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
"Damn, that hurts!" Luffy gritted his teeth and endured the pain, cursing the side effects of his Dark Form inwardly.The injuries from the previous battle were now sweeping over his entire body with double the force, as if to tear him apart.He convulsed on the ground for a while before he could barely catch his breath.
Luffy struggled to his feet, using a tree for support, and slowly began to walk forward.He desperately needed to find some food to fill his empty stomach.Just then, a wild boar suddenly appeared before him.Luffy's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips, thinking, "This is incredibly lucky!"
Luffy immediately sprang into action, stealthily approaching the wild boar, preparing to attack.However, the boar seemed to sense the danger, watching Luffy warily, ready to flee at any moment.Seeing this, Luffy quickened his pace, lunging at the boar.After a struggle, Luffy finally managed to subdue the boar.He cheered joyfully, then hoisted the boar onto his shoulder and walked forward.
"Hiccup, if Sanji were here, this wild boar would probably taste even better." Luffy leaned contentedly against a large tree, patting his belly, guessing that Sanji was probably currently dodging the "love" of a group of transvestites.Thinking of this, Luffy couldn't help but laugh.Now that he had no worries, he could focus on what he needed to do next.
"Hurry!Everyone, keep up!That smoke is coming from here!" Accompanied by anxious shouts, a clear and firm female voice came from the depths of the dense jungle.Time ticked by, and Luffy secretly calculated in his mind.He cleverly disguised himself as being seriously injured, then deliberately fell to the ground, using the surrounding dirt to make his appearance look even more miserable and wretched.
A few minutes later, a group of women carrying bows and arrows, their expressions tense, appeared at the spot.Their gazes first fell on the wild boar, now reduced to a skeleton, a flicker of wariness in their eyes.Then, they noticed Luffy lying lifeless beside the boar.The women cautiously gathered around, holding wooden sticks, and gently poked Luffy's body.Seeing that he didn't react or move, they relaxed slightly.
However, they didn't let their guard down and remained vigilant.One of the women knelt down and carefully checked if Luffy was still breathing.When she noticed Luffy's faint breath, a surge of joy welled up inside her."Quick, quick!Everyone, move faster!This strange-looking guy is still breathing!Quickly carry him back.""To the town!" A sweet shout rang out, and a woman with short, shoulder-length, dyed blonde hair, without a word, hoisted Luffy onto her back and dashed towards the town.The others didn't dare to linger and followed closely behind her.
At that moment, a strange expression appeared on Luffy's face.He seemed to remember what was about to happen.However, he secretly rejoiced: "Thank goodness I didn't eat those mushrooms this time.Hopefully, it won't end up like in the story."
However, poor Luffy forgot something important—at this moment, he was filthy, looking like a beggar.Not long after, Luffy suddenly felt as if he had been thrown out, and then "plop," he fell into a warm spring.Luffy was startled and almost stood up abruptly.But still clinging to a sliver of hope, he decided to continue playing dead and see how things went.
But what happened next was something Luffy could no longer tolerate.He felt someone start unbuttoning his shirt, and then, they were about to pull down his pants!At that moment, Luffy finally couldn't take it anymore.He suddenly opened his eyes, frantically backed away, and stared in terror at the women who were about to take off his pants.
