Chapter 209: The Carnival of the Worst Generation! The Straw Hat Crew Assembles and a Hasty Retreat
Rayleigh stepped with a calm pace, passing the guards scattered on the ground, and walked to the giant fish tank in the center of the stage.
Facing the bomb collar on Camie's neck that could detonate at any moment, Rayleigh appeared exceptionally casual, merely extending his right hand slowly.
Accompanying the invisible flow of advanced Armament Haki—Ryuo—he ripped it off with his bare hands at the critical moment before the collar exploded and threw it high into the air.
"Boom!" The bomb exploded in mid-air, kicking up a strong shockwave that made Rayleigh's silver hair rustle.
He turned his head, his gaze crossing the ruins, and looked quietly at the Straw Hat on Luffy's head.
In those eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, a trace of deep nostalgia and tenderness was revealed.
"That hat suits a brave man." Rayleigh said with a smile, his voice steady and deep.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Monkey D. Luffy."
Just at this moment, the broadcast outside the venue rang out harshly.
Amidst the shrill alarm, the Marine commander declared through the loudspeaker.
Hundreds of fully armed Marine elites had already set up heavy artillery, blocking the entrance of the venue completely; they would be unable to escape.
Hearing the commotion outside, Eustass Kid, sitting in the back row, sneered arrogantly.
He stood up, twisted his neck wildly, his eyes full of malice: "Straw Hat, I have no interest in waiting here for the Admiral with you."
"As for those small fries outside, I'll just clean them up as a pre-meal exercise."
Trafalgar Law carried his long nodachi on his shoulder, a dark, cunning smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth under his hat: "Straw Hat, do you need my help?"
Luffy pressed the Straw Hat on his head, glared back very unhappily, and retorted loudly: "Shut up! I'll beat them all up myself!"
The heavy bronze gate was slowly pushed open by a great force.
The three most dazzling monster Captains of the new era walked out of the shadows side by side.
Under the blinding sun, they faced the dense, battle-ready Marine musketeers and artillery positions.
"Fire!" the Marine commander ordered, and a hail of gunfire poured out.
Luffy took a deep breath, his stomach instantly expanding into a giant ball: "Gomu Gomu no... Balloon!"
The whistling cannonballs hit his elastic belly and were easily bounced back, falling into the Marine ranks and exploding, sending the front-line soldiers flying.
Meanwhile, Law elegantly raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together: "ROOM, Shambles!"
A hemispherical blue glowing space instantly opened, engulfing a large number of Marines.
With a slight flick of his fingers, the physical laws within the space were completely overturned.
The Marines' body parts were strangely swapped and spliced with cannonballs in mid-air and wooden barrels on the ground, and their tight formation instantly fell into great chaos and panic.
"Hahahaha! Feel despair!" Kid laughed fanatically, his arms suddenly spreading wide, erupting with powerful magnetic force.
"Repel!"
The swords, firearms, and even armor in the hands of the surrounding Marines were forcibly sucked in by this irresistible magnetic force.
Countless scraps of iron twisted rapidly on Kid's right arm, turning into a giant steel arm.
He wielded this mechanical giant hand that looked like a demon god, and with violent wind pressure, he smashed through the Marine's defense line with one punch!
Just as the melee outside the gate reached a white-hot stage, the Straw Hat Pirates, having received Tatsuya's assembly order, finally broke through the many obstacles on the island and arrived in time.
"Three Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix!"
A sharp, dazzling blue sword beam whistled from behind the Marines.
Zoro, sweating profusely from getting lost, was biting Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and charged into the battlefield like a tiger released from its cage.
"Diable Jambe: Premier Hachis!"
In mid-air, Sanji turned into a whirlwind burning with high-temperature flames.
He precisely kicked away several Marines who were about to raise their guns to fire.
Amidst the wailing, he landed steadily in the circle of his companions.
Seeing that his companions scattered across the island had finally arrived safely, he slowly put away the suffocating killing intent on his body.
This time, he stepped steadily to the rear, standing in front of the newly rescued Camie and the seriously injured Hatchan, acting as the strongest shield.
Behind him, Robin and Nami were using first-aid kits to perform simple hemostasis and bandaging.
Tatsuya raised his chin slightly, his deep black eyes looking toward the distant horizon, a hint of gravity flashing in his eyes.
"The real monsters are still on the way."
"The current stamina must be saved for that truly troublesome guy."
In the front, after the entire Straw Hat Pirates gathered, they showed a terrifying tacit understanding of cooperation after the life-and-death battle on Thriller Bark, moving as if no one was there.
Franky shouted his signature "Super!" arrogantly.
The armor on his arms unfolded, and dense heavy firepower poured out like a rainstorm.
It instantly suppressed the Marines' proud artillery positions, sparks flying everywhere.
Usopp found a high point with an excellent view and accurately fired a "Fire Bird Star."
The flaming bird streaked across the sky, directly sniping the enemy commander, leaving the Marines leaderless.
Chopper swallowed a Rumble Ball, transforming into his massive Heavy Point form.
He was like a violent heavy tank, rushing through the dense crowd, knocking away the Marines blocking his way.
Brook walked through the hail of bullets with light steps.
He played his violin elegantly.
The eerie lullaby made the Marines' eyelids heavy, and they fell into a deep sleep.
Then, his figure moved like lightning, and with a "Requiem: Arrow Notch Slash," he stylishly harvested the battlefield; the sword didn't even have a drop of blood on it before he sheathed it.
Kid and Law, who were wreaking havoc on the other side, caught a glimpse of the amazing combat power displayed by the Straw Hat, and their hearts couldn't help but sink slightly.
This pirate crew actually had such powerful individual combat capabilities, and their cooperation was seamless.
The true foundation of this pirate crew was far more terrifying than the bounties on their wanted posters.
Just as the outer Marine defense line was completely disintegrated by the three forces, their respective subordinates also broke through the blockade to meet them.
"Massacre Soldier" Killer swung his sharp scythe, leading the elite crew of the Kid Pirates.
Bepo, the Mink Tribe member in an orange jumpsuit, led the Heart Pirates and cut in quickly from the flanks, gathering at the gate of the venue.
Seeing that the breakout route had been completely opened, Kid arrogantly dissipated the heavy mechanical giant arm on his right, and the scrap iron fell to the ground with a clatter.
He turned to look at Luffy, a rebellious smile on his lips: "Straw Hat, although you're a crazy idiot, today's brawl was quite enjoyable."
"However, the Marine Admiral is about to land."
"We have no interest in staying here to be buried with you."
Law carried Kikoku back onto his shoulder, reached out and lowered the brim of his spotted hat, revealing only that smirk: "Straw Hat, good luck to you."
"I hope we can meet again in the New World."
They both knew clearly that openly beating up the Celestial Dragons on the Sabaody Archipelago was undoubtedly crossing the absolute bottom line of the World Government.
The highest combat power of the Marineford would definitely come out in full force; staying here would only make them living targets for the Admiral's anger.
To preserve their strength and successfully head to the New World, Kid and Law decisively took their respective subordinates and fled rapidly towards the red mangrove areas with different numbers.
They disappeared into the complex streets in the blink of an eye.
Watching the backs of the two Supernovas fleeing rapidly, Luffy pressed his Straw Hat, turned around, and was about to call everyone to take Hatchan and Camie and leave this place of right and wrong.
However, at this very moment, in the sky above the 27th mangrove of the Sabaody Archipelago, some distance from the auction venue, a dazzling, blinding yellow flash suddenly appeared without warning.
This light instantly tore through the sky, and even the sunlight was eclipsed in front of it.
Accompanying a lazy tone, a tall figure descended from the sky.
He was wearing a yellow and white striped suit, with a wide cloak of justice symbolizing the highest power of the Marine draped over his shoulders.
The man had his hands in his pockets, and his feet were strangely stepping on a pitch-black cannonball flying in mid-air, landing steadily on the island's square just like that.
"Oh my, oh my..."
The man pouted, looking around unhurriedly: "There are really as many pirates here as cockroaches, it makes one feel troubled just looking at them."
He raised his hand and pushed his tea-colored sunglasses, a dangerous light flashing under the lenses: "Then... where exactly are the Straw Hat who caused such a big mess?"
The highest combat power of the Marineford.
Admiral Kizaru, officially landed!
