Chapter 213Urouge grinned and looked into the distance. "You've picked up an extra life, masked fellow."Killer remained silent, already sheathing his blades.Clearly, the two who had been interrupted had no intention of continuing the fight.Drake stopped Urouge and Killer, intending to take his crew and leave this troublesome place.However, just as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone.A Marimo-headed swordsman who had lost his way and was scratching his head with an impatient look on his face.Zoro was walking around the area formed by these complex streets and tree roots with a look of irritation.Although he extremely didn't want to admit it, the cruel reality told him...He was lost again!This matter absolutely could not let Sanji and those guys know; otherwise, wouldn't his title as a person with no sense of direction be set in stone?Sanji: "???"Please have some self-awareness!As if guided by fate, Zoro also arrived at the center of this conflict zone.Then he encountered Drake."Yo, Drake-ya, things were just getting interesting. You stopped a good show."On a pile of wooden boxes nearby, a man wearing a spotted fluffy hat looked up, speaking with a playful smile on his lips, "But it seems you've gotten yourself rolled into a new good show.""Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law?"Drake's gaze shifted from Law to Zoro, who stood before him with a sharp gaze and his hand on his sword hilt, feeling it was quite troublesome.Because the fighting intent emanating from the other party had already firmly locked onto him."Oh? Is it an enemy?"Zoro grinned, revealing a beast-like smile. With a'shing' sound, wado ichimonji was already out of its sheath.Drake sighed: "I really don't want to fight with you Straw Hat crew members.""But, I really like fighting with swordsmen."Zoro interrupted him, his gaze falling on the sword at Drake's waist, his fighting intent growing stronger.Fighting Drake wasn't just because the other party blocked his way; more importantly, he perceived that the other party was a powerful swordsman.Boom!A massive slash whistled past, directly cutting down a nearby abandoned building, and a figure flew along with the slash.Amidst the dust, Drake's figure suddenly expanded and transformed, turning into a massive Allosaurus.Zoan-type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Model: Allosaurus Form"A Zoan-type Devil Fruit User? Or a dinosaur?"Zoro looked at the massive figure looming in the dust, his eyes even more excited, speaking with great interest: "Can you still use a sword in that state?""I wasn't exactly an orthodox swordsman to begin with," Drake said through gritted teeth.Should he say he was unlucky, or just plain unlucky?"Whatever, you look like you can fight well anyway," Zoro laughed.Drake made a low sound, full of helplessness: "The guys from the Straw Hat crew are truly terrifying."Just from a brief clash of weapons, he felt that Zoro's strength and swordsmanship were extremely formidable.Such an existence was actually just a subordinate in a pirate crew?What kind of monster exactly was that legendary Straw Hat Luffy?There was no time for him to think more, because Zoro had already made a swift dash, performing Three-Sword Style, a sharp slash coming right at him!"Oni Giri!"Drake hurriedly used his massive claws and tail to parry, then counterattacked, and the two sides instantly clashed into a fray.The dull thuds of colliding power and the sharp ringing of cutting blades were incessant."What incredible strength!" Drake gritted his teeth, feeling the massive force transmitted from the other's slash.Zoro grinned, his offensive becoming increasingly fierce: "You're not bad either!"Watching the battle from not far away, the ease on Law's face gradually vanished, replaced by a touch of shock.He initially thought he had misseen, but as Zoroand Drake clashed intensely, he saw that invisible force wrapped around the blade very clearly."Haki? No way."Law muttered to himself, his brow furrowed, "This is only the first half of the Grand Line, and he's a Pirate Hunter from the East Blue who hasn't been to the New World. Why would he have mastered Haki?"A power like Haki was as rare as a Devil Fruit in the first half of the Grand Line, but in a place like the New World, it belonged to standard power.Any strong person would know a bit; otherwise, they'd be embarrassed to say they were making it in the New World.Seeing that pitch-black power spreading on Zoro's blade, Law could not ignore it no matter what."No wonder he dares to be so flamboyant; so he has something to rely on?"Law's gaze became solemn, "If a subordinate possesses the power of Haki, what about Straw Hat himself?"The strength of that crew could not be ignored.Just as Zoro and Drake were locked in an inseparable battle here, explosion sounds came again from not far away.It was Kid and Apoo's side officially starting their fight!Magnetism and sound waves flew everywhere, destroying the surrounding buildings."They're all here!" Kid's wild and arrogant laughter rang out, "I'm getting excited!"This sudden chaos made both Drake and Zoro, who were in the middle of fighting, feel a strange vibration from the weapons in their hands, nearly causing them to lose their grip.Drake took the opportunity to leap back, leaving the combat zone, and looked towards the direction of the sound.He saw Kid surrounded by countless metal blades attracted by magnetism, like a hedgehog, walking over with a sinister grin.Meanwhile, Apoo was jumping on the rooftops, slapping various parts of his body to emit rhythmic sound wave attacks.The battle between Urouge and Killer also temporarily stopped due to these successive incidents.The wall of the restaurant also crashed open. Begetransformed into a small fortress castle, with countless gun ports opening on his body, while Hawkins continuously pulled out substitute straw men. The two were fighting as they emerged from inside.For a time, within a small area, multiple Supernovas had actually gathered, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme!Zoro forced Drake back a bit further with a slash, then sheathed his sword for a temporary rest. He looked at the figure walking from not far away and grinned: "Yo, Luffy, so you guys were here."This name seemed to have some magic. The originally chaotic scene fell into a standstill. Everyone looked where he was pointing and saw Luffy's group standing at the street corner, watching the chaotic scene."Yeah, it looks pretty lively here," Luffy laughed.As Zoro sheathed his sword and walked casually to stand by Luffy's side, a subtle and solemn atmosphere naturally began to permeate.The Supernovas, who had been fighting their own battles, facing off, or watching, all focused their gazes together, eventually landing on the young Captain wearing the Straw Hat.Kid was the first to speak, breaking the brief silence. In his crimson pupils, light flickered with a mix of excitement and wariness:"Four Supernovas on one ship, plus a princess with a special bounty of five hundred million. Now even Big Eater Bonney is hanging out with you? Straw Hat, are you guys planning to form a Supernova alliance before entering the New World and aim for one of the Four Emperors?"He loved excitement and challenges most, but the potential power displayed by the Straw Hat crew before him made even him feel alarmed.If Luffy also had the idea of forming an alliance to challenge the Four Emperors, then they would need to communicate in advance. Kid didn't want his prey to be snatched away.If Luffy and his goals were the same... then he'd just take him out!"Alliance? Four Emperors? I'm not interested right now."Luffy pressed down on the Straw Hat on his head. The smile on his face remained, but his gaze turned serious: "I have other things to do. Just don't get in my way here."As this domineering and arrogant declaration fell, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.Immediately following was the extremely arrogant laughter of Eustass Kid."Fuhahahaha!"Kid's crimson pupils stared dead at Luffy, as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Straw Hat! Just because the newspapers and some nonsensical fellows blow you up as some Fifth Emperor, you really think you can stand over our heads and give orders?! Stop being so full of yourself!"The metal blades attracted around him vibrated and hummed due to his agitated emotions, making a piercing grinding sound."It's not yet certain who will lead this era. I won't listen to you!""Mama, Straw Hat Luffy."Mad Monk Urouge still maintained that strange smile. His massive body leaned forward slightly, full of pressure. "I, a monk, am very curious about those 'other things' you mentioned. Why not say it for everyone to hear?"Capone Bege bit his cigar, his face grim amidst the swirling smoke.He didn't speak out to refute like Kid did, but his tightly furrowed brow and extremely solemn gaze already explained everything.A bounty of three hundred million might not be something he took seriously; after all, the level of a bounty sometimes didn't completely represent strength, but more the degree of threat to the World Government.But the number 660 million Berries had already reached another level.Moreover, Straw Hat's track record of defeating Crocodile, standing up to Admiral Aokiji, and causing a huge scene at Enies Lobby—every single event carried terrifying weight.He smelled an extremely dangerous aura from that Kid wearing the Straw Hat.While other Supernovas might still be considering...A voice with a strange sense of rhythm rang out, precisely Roar of the Sea, Scratchmen Apoo."Hey, hey, Straw Hat~ If you hand over that princess worth 500 million Berries, this lord might actually consider your proposal a bit, you know? Da-da-da~"Before his words even finished.Buzz!A heart-palpitating ripple instantly spread out.Standing beside Trafalgar Law, Killer's gaze behind his mask suddenly sharpened. Almost instinctively, he took half a step back, crossing his scythes in front of him in a defensive posture.And Law himself also had his pupils shrink, subconsciously tightening his grip on kikoku's hilt.Almost at the same time.Bang!A dull impact sound exploded!Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes as a fuzzy afterimage flashed past at a speed exceeding their visual capture.Immediately following, Apoo, who had been standing on the rooftop with a grinning face, suddenly doubled over like a shrimp. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and his body flew backward rapidly like a kite with a broken string, crashing through two dilapidated walls in succession before being buried in a pile of bricks and rubble.His life or death was unknown!Chapter 303: There is only one King in this generation, King Luffy!In front of the position where Apoo had originally stood, Luffy's figure had appeared at some unknown time. He maintained a slightly forward-leaning posture, with his right fist still held in mid-air.The current Luffy was completely different from a moment ago.His skin had turned slightly reddish, with wisps of white steam rising. His body was surrounded by visible red and black interlaced Haki patterns, flowing slowly like living things.A violent aura swept out with him as the center, causing the hearts of everyone present to sink."So noisy," Luffy said, looking toward Apoo's location with a cold voice."Wh...?!"Kid's eyes widened, and the arrogant smile on his face instantly froze, replaced by an unbelievable shock.What the hell is with this guy's speed?!Just now, he hadn't even been able to fully see Luffy's movements.He only felt a blur, and then Apoo had already flown out.This kind of speed had completely exceeded his reaction limits.If Luffy's target just now had been him... the more he thought about it, the grimmer Kid's gaze became.Drake was also feeling bewildered.In his transformed Allosaurus Form, his massive vertical pupils were full of solemnity.
