166: Chapter 165: After killing Wald, Luffy prepares to go out and have some fun."Looks like I underestimated you, Straw Hat Luffy!" A sinister smile crept across Wald's face.A powerful aura emanated from him, his fists clenched tightly, as if he couldn't wait to kill Luffy."Now I'm going to show you my true strength!" With that, Wald began to gather his power.His body grew larger and larger, muscles bulging, veins popping, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.
"100x speed boost!" With a furious shout from Wald, his speed was dazzling, so fast that even Hancock's Observation Haki could barely catch a glimpse of him.Hancock frowned, looking worriedly at Luffy on the battlefield.
"Hahahaha, Straw Hat Boy, can you keep up with my moves?" Wald laughed wildly, his laughter echoing across the entire battlefield.At the same time, a layer of black Armament Haki appeared on his body, as hard as steel.
"Die, Straw Hat Boy!" World laughed maniacally as he attacked Luffy, his fists raining down on him with unparalleled power.However, Luffy stood motionless, showing no fear whatsoever, instead watching World with the look of someone watching a clown's performance.
In Luffy's eyes, while Wald was fast, he was as slow as a snail.Long before Wald launched his attack, Luffy had already anticipated his next move.Luffy slightly shifted his body, easily dodging Wald's punch, and then kicked him in the stomach.Wald's face instantly turned deathly pale.He clutched his stomach, staring at Luffy in disbelief."How is this possible.you actually managed to dodge my attack?"
Wald's eyes widened in astonishment.He couldn't believe that Luffy could so easily see through his speed, and he couldn't believe that Luffy was so strong.
"Hmph, I told you, I will defeat you!" Luffy sneered, his eyes flashing with determination.
Undeterred, Wald scrambled to his feet and unleashed his Speed 100 once more, this time attacking Luffy from behind.His iron fist, coated in Armament Haki, slammed down towards Luffy's head.He was filled with anticipation, eager to see Luffy's skull explode.
"Boring.I thought the strongmen from 30 years ago would be so powerful, but it seems they're nothing special.I was hoping to give it my all, but it seems this is all I can do now.Fine, to show my respect for my senior, I'll give you a painless death." Luffy suddenly turned around, calmly looking at Wald who was attacking him, and said softly.
As Luffy finished speaking, Wald immediately sensed something was wrong.He quickly stopped his attack and prepared to move away from Luffy.However, when he tried to move, he was surprised to find that he couldn't move at all.Wald looked down at his feet and saw that a pool of black mist, like a tide, had silently appeared and tightly bound his feet.No matter how much strength or speed Wald increased, he couldn't break free from this strange restraint.
As Wald struggled, his body began to sink deeper and deeper.As he sank deeper, Wald felt his multiplication fruit begin to lose its effect.Even so, Wald refused to give up and continued to look for a way to escape the black mist.Just then, an old man with an IV drip emerged from the woods.The old man looked at Wald sadly and then knelt down in front of Luffy.
"Cough, cough, cough." A violent coughing sound rang out, the voice old and hoarse, as if he might die at any moment.The coughing came from an old man with a wrinkled face and gray hair.He looked to be over seventy years old and his body was so weak that it was worrying.As he coughed, he tightly grasped the hem of another young man's clothes with trembling hands, his eyes full of pleading.
"Please, please spare my brother!Cough cough cough.If you insist on taking someone's life, then this old man will give you his own, cough cough cough." the old man said with difficulty, gasping for breath after each sentence.His gaze fell on the tall and imposing man in front of him, filled with despair and helplessness.
However, Luffy, the one being asked, remained unmoved.He coldly observed everything before him, his eyes unwavering.From the moment World attempted to harm Hancock, Luffy's anger had burned fiercely, an unquenchable flame.In his eyes, World was unforgivable and deserved to pay the price.
Seeing his brother so groveling, Wald was filled with rage.He glared at the old man and roared, "Brother!How could you do this?Stand up!We don't need anyone's pity!" But the old man ignored his brother's roar and stubbornly continued to kowtow, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground clearly audible.
Luffy sighed and said firmly, "Letting him go is impossible, but I can leave him with a whole corpse." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the old man standing there, a look of despair on his face.
Before the old man could react, Luffy's lips curled into a sinister smile, his eyes turning cold and ruthless.With a clenched fist, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Wald's figure was swiftly engulfed by a cloud of black mist.The black mist churned and hissed, seemingly devouring Wald's life force.
A moment later, Luffy waved his hand again, the black mist dissipated, and Wald's body emerged from it, crashing heavily to the ground.The old man rushed forward to check on him, but Wald was now a lifeless corpse.His eyes were closed, and his face bore an expression of shock and despair, as if he couldn't accept it even in his final moments.To face the coming of death.
The old man trembled as he stroked Wald's face, tears streaming down his cheeks.He murmured, "Brother." His heart was filled with endless grief and regret.He had advised Wald against acting so impulsively, but blinded by revenge, Wald ignored his advice and ultimately walked the path of destruction.
"Thank you for leaving my brother with a whole body.As for your two sisters, Your Majesty, they will also return safely." The old man said, his eyes filled with cloudy tears, his voice trembling.Despite losing his brother, he was still grateful for Luffy's forgiveness.
The old man kept his word.After his henchmen carried Wald's body back to the ship, Sonia and Mary were released.Although they were covered in wounds, they were fortunately unharmed.Their eyes flashed with anger and resentment, but faced with a powerful enemy, they had been defeated in a single move.
"Luffy-san, thank you so much this time.Without you, my sister and I would probably be in grave danger," Sonia and Mary sincerely expressed their gratitude to Luffy.At this moment, Hancock stood to the side, her beautiful eyes sparkling with love as she tenderly looked at Luffy.She couldn't help but think to herself, "As expected of the man I've chosen, he's truly remarkable!"
Luffy smiled brightly after hearing their words and said, "Haha, we're all friends, this is what I should do!"
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.During this time, Luffy, through tireless effort, successfully mastered the powerful Conqueror's Haki.With his increased strength, he decided to go out and have some fun.At the same time, he missed Uta, Nami, and Robin.Although Hancock was a little jealous of Luffy's decision, she didn't stop him.She knew they were all family and shared a deep bond.However, on the night before Luffy was to set off, a fierce battle erupted between Hancock and Luffy.
The battle was incredibly fierce, with both sides giving it their all.Ultimately, Hancock chose to surrender, raising her hands in defeat.After the battle, the two embraced, spending an unforgettable night together.The next morning, as Luffy prepared to leave, his face was ashen, and his legs trembled slightly.Hancock, however, watched him with a contented smile.She knew the previous night's battle had exhausted Luffy, but she also understood that it was a testament to the deep bond between them.
