Chapter 242: Reunion.
The flas of war and smoke spread across Grove 46, with laser beams flying everywhere.
A legion of 50 Pacifistas was systematically coordinating to surround and kill Luffy in the middle.
At the sa ti, outside the encirclent.
Usopp and the other two were rushing to the battlefield, preparing to break through the encirclent and rendezvous with Luffy inside.
Beep, beep, beep!!
"Identifying target."
A Pacifista that had been attacked from the back turned around. The crosshairs in its vision drifted rapidly, stopping on a light blue buzz cut.
"Straw Hat crew shipwright, Cyborg Franky. Bounty: 140,000,000 Berries."
The cold, chanical voice was devoid of any emotion.
After locking onto the target, the Pacifista didn’t pause for a mont. It raised its palm, aid, and began to gather laser energy.
"Enemy, annihilate."
"—Oh, my bounty has gone up."
Franky, on the contrary, was slightly excited. He took off in a mad dash to the side to evade the attack.
Swish!
The laser beam shot into the ground, imdiately causing a violent explosion.
Boom!!
"Star Shield!"
Franky, who had been sent flying, held his giant arm up in front of his chest, transforming it into a flat shield to block the impact of the explosion.
Before he had even landed after flipping in the air, two small cannons rose from his chanical shoulders.
Franky grinned confidently, shooting two rockets at the Pacifista!
"Franky Destroyer Cannon!!"
Swish! Swish!
The rocket launchers, trailing long tails of fla, hit the massive steel body with a crisp ’ding’.
Boom!!
Boom!! Accompanied by a dazzling bright light, the specially made cannonballs caused a violent explosion, instantly engulfing the Pacifista.
"Well done, Franky!"
Usopp jumped up, pumping his fist in the air, cheering and praising, and said with envy, "And! Your bounty has actually surpassed one hundred million!"
"Well, it’s probably because of the incident two years ago."
Franky looked proud, unfolding his hand to reveal the gun barrel within, and said, "After all, we also caused a ruckus in Impel Down and broke into the war. If you count it carefully, it’s a neat one hundred million Berries increase."
Noticing the commotion, several Pacifistas turned around one after another.
The information from the destroyed Pacifista was also shared simultaneously via signal.
Beep, beep, beep!!
A dense series of cold, electronic sounds rang out, and a patch of condensed golden light shone like a multitude of stars.
Seeing the large number of lasers, Usopp quickly drew his gun, at the sa ti rapidly retreating, and frowned, "Doesn’t that an everyone’s bounty might have gone up?"
The thought of his own bounty increasing made him both excited and scared. This ant that in future adventures, even if he was mixed in with a group of monsters, his head would still be easily targeted by others.
But...
Usopp’s sausage-thick lips lifted slightly. My na will definitely reach their ears.
Dad, Kaya, Onion-head...
Will they be proud of ?
In fact, not just them, but the bounties of all the Supernovas, including Kid and Law, had all increased significantly.
Similar in nature to their rampage on Enies Lobby back then, the Supernovas’ bounty increase was at least one hundred million.
From the island of justice, Enies Lobby, to the great underwater prison, Impel Down, and then to the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In the first half of the Grand Line, the Straw Hat crew, as a newly ford pirate crew, had directly caused trouble for all three of the World Governnt’s major subordinate organizations.
A large increase in their bounties was inevitable, especially for their role in turning the tide of the Summit War.
Before Sengoku retired, he had specially reviewed their information and issued new wanted posters.
It was just that there had been no news for a full two years. The Straw Hat crew had gradually faded from the public eye during this period, and it was only recently that rumors of their ’revival’ had spread on the Sabaody Archipelago.
In fact, it was largely thanks to the ’publicity’ of the fake Straw Hat crew.
"As for the bounties, besides Reiner and Luffy, everyone’s has basically increased by one hundred million Berries."
Robin smiled faintly and replied casually.
Reiner, who had left a deep impression on Sengoku, and Luffy, as the captain, had now beco the main focus of the Marines.
The sum of their two bounties was already over a billion.
Although the bounties of the Blue Ogre, Red Ogre, and other undead had been revoked, the total bounty of the entire crew had still increased by about a billion.
Beep, beep, beep!!
"Devil Child, Nico Robin."
"King of Snipers, Usopp."
Two Pacifistas locked onto Robin and Usopp, aiming their laser-gathering palms and mouths at them.
"Cien Fleur: Gigantesco Mano!"
Robin crossed her hands in front of her chest and activated her ability. Two slender, white legs as tall as trees sprouted from the ground, their feet stomping wildly on the ground.
"Hissatsu: Kamakiri Ryuseigun!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Usopp leaped rapidly between several rooftops, his left hand continuously pulling the trigger.
Several bullets traced bizarre arcs, shooting into the open mouths of the Pacifistas and exploding.
After the three of them joined, the intensity of the battle rose again.
Explosions like rolling thunder were everywhere. The people who had been watching before had all fled, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Sensing the commotion, Luffy paused. After kicking a Pacifista away, he leaped into the air.
Looking out, he imdiately recognized the three figures.
"Hey, Usopp! Robin, Franky!"
Luffy couldn’t hide his excitent and grinned broadly, raising his hands and shouting in that direction, "I’m here! Long ti no see, everyone!"
"Look! Luffy’s over there!!"
Seeing Luffy waving nonstop in the distance, Usopp was also instantly excited. "Wait a minute, Luffy! We’ll be there soon!!"
Franky, who was entangled with an enemy, glanced over and said with a gratified smile, "This guy looks super energetic."
"It’s Luffy, after all."
Robin chuckled in agreent. "We need to finish off the enemy quickly."
"Ah, but these iron lumps are really hard."
Franky glanced left and right. The three of them had taken down six Pacifistas, but there were still nearly thirty left on the field. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
"That guy Luffy has gotten so strong. He’s already defeated more than ten of them alone."
"Yohohoho~~"
"Do you mind if I help, everyone!"
A voice ca from the sky, and a long, black shadow leaped down.
With a yellow fur boa over his shoulders, he landed lightly in a pair of pink floral pants.
Brook half-squatted on the ground and, with a single step, rushed towards a Pacifista. When he ca to his senses, his figure was already standing behind the opponent.
Clang!
He held his cane sword horizontally in front of him and slowly sheathed it. As the blade entered the scabbard, the Pacifista stood motionless, and a line of bone-chilling ice instantly froze on its body.
"Kasuri Uta: Fubuki Giri!"
Bang! The Pacifista fell to the ground with a thud, revealing Brook’s back. He said in a light but heavy tone:
"I’m so excited I can’t even tell a skull joke. Everyone, long ti no see."
"Long ti no see, Brook," Robin said, her eyes crinkling in a smile.
Brook turned around and said with a calm face, "It’s been two years, Robin-san. May I see your panties?"
"Go to hell, you stinky skeleton!!"
Bang!
A figure instantly flickered over, a black leather shoe rcilessly connecting with Brook’s face.
Several pieces of bone fragnts could be seen flying from his face. The entire skeleton slid across the ground and ca to a stop at Usopp’s feet.
"It’s been two years since we’ve seen each other, and you ask for sothing so vulgar."
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Usopp looked on, speechless, and repeatedly tapped Brook on the head with the butt of his gun.
"Yohohoho~~, even the kicks have beco nostalgic."
Brook chuckled and got up, turning to look at the figure who had attacked him. "The force is as heavy as ever, Sanji-san."
"When dealing with ladies, one should show gentle and patient etiquette. For example, like this..."
Sanji unhurriedly lit a cigarette, then turned his head to Robin and said lightly, "May I have a look, little Robin?"
Fair skin! Smooth, black hair! A sexy, pink half-length skirt!
Pfft!!
The mont Robin’s graceful figure entered his pupils, Sanji’s nosebleed gushed out like a waterfall, sending him flying like a rocket!
"You’re exaggerating too much!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gun butt repeatedly hit Sanji on the head. Usopp rolled his eyes and shouted, "You can’t even see panties like this! Just looking at a person is enough to kill you! What on earth have you been through these past two years!"
"What have I been through these past two years..."
Sanji lay on the ground, the yellow strands of his bangs covering half his face. He looked up at the sky in silence.
What have I been through...
The rough leg hair under a beautiful skirt, the heavily made-up face with a stubble behind a handkerchief, or the coarse sound of a blown kiss suddenly ringing in my ear in the dead of night...
"It was hell..."
"...that place was a living hell."
Sanji’s voice was low, and bitter tears slid from the corners of his eyes.
Bang! A shadow descended from the sky. The azure sky in his vision was suddenly blocked by a massive falling figure.
Sanji lightly bit the cigarette in his mouth and took a drag. He was unmoved by the Pacifista descending before him. He slowly exhaled a stream of smoke and said in a low voice:
"Leave these to ."
Sanji slowly got up and looked up. The gathered laser energy emitted a dazzling golden light, which shone on his face and rged with his blond hair.
"I couldn’t find that bastard, so I can only take it out on you guys first."
Beep, beep, beep!!
"Black Leg Sanji, target locked... target lost!"
Suddenly, the laser that had been gathered lost its target. The Pacifista turned its head and quickly searched for the vanished target.
Swish!
A red light suddenly appeared in the air at its side!
Sanji’s eyes were grim. The lava-like scorching fire burned on his leg, lashing out like a long whip towards the Pacifista’s head!
Bang!!
The tall body was sent flying like a football, crashing heavily into a mangrove trunk and blasting a deep pit!
The tough skin was lted through, revealing the crisscrossing machinery underneath, which was glowing red hot as if it had just been taken out of a furnace.
Looking at the motionless Pacifista in the tree pit, which was sparking with electricity, Usopp’s mouth hung open.
"...One kick... and it’s dealt with?"
No tricks, just pure brute force to cripple the opponent with one kick!
Is this a leap in strength, or an explosion of anger? Is Kamabakka Kingdom that terrifying!
Franky’s gaze hardened, and he was secretly shocked. As a modification maniac, he understood better than anyone how hard these iron lumps were.
This was a special alloy with a hardness far exceeding that of ordinary steel.
To actually go head-to-head with sothing like this with a flesh-and-blood body!?
"These guys are really monsters," Franky said, a corner of his mouth lifting. He was genuinely happy about his companions’ growth.
"One."
Sanji said in a low voice. The next mont.
Bang!!
A heavy stomp on the air created a dull explosion. His entire person vanished again, appearing on the other side in the blink of an eye.
Bang!! Another kick, invisible to the naked eye, hit the enemy’s chest. The Pacifista’s sturdy body whistled through the air, spinning as it flew backward!
"Two."
Swish!
Bang!!
"Three."
Swish!
Sanji’s figure flickered continuously, appearing in various parts of the battlefield at a speed that even lasers couldn’t capture.
Every ti he paused, a Pacifista would be sent flying with a bang.
His reaping speed was no slower than Luffy’s in the center of the battlefield.
"Are you kidding ? These guys are monsters."
Usopp’s face instantly fell. "Reiner even said before that he was most optimistic about becoming the fifth main combatant on the ship."
"If they’re all like this, won’t I be stuck with the title of the ’Weakling Trio’ for the rest of my life?"
"Let tell you so more bad news, Usopp."
Franky patted his shoulder and said, "Reiner told everyone that he was most optimistic about them."
"Eh?" Brook’s afro tilted to one side. "So he was lying?"
Robin crossed her arms in front of her chest and chuckled. "I thought everyone knew."
Usopp’s eyes turned into dead fish eyes. "..."
"I can understand why Sanji wants to kill him."
"That bastard even lied to !"
"And !"
Two figures, one large and one small, walked over.
Nami’s face darkened, a vein popping on her forehead as she clenched her fists.
No wonder Reiner ca to her to discuss giving gifts to everyone. Heh heh.
Chopper was even baring his teeth as if he were about to bite soone, and he roared angrily, "To think I trained so hard! It was all a lie! You bastard!"
Dr. Kureha lied to him like that back then too! Bad people, they’re all bad people!
"It seems everyone has a grudge. How about we give him a little punishnt later?"
"I think that’s a good idea."
"Hee hee hee, then let’s all prank Reiner together."
"I want to join too!"
"I have an idea," Robin said with a gentle smile, suggesting, "What does everyone think of drawing and quartering?"
"Ahem!"
"Th-that’s going a bit too far, Robin."
The group waved their hands sheepishly. We said prank, not torture.
With Sanji and Luffy both exerting their strength, the Pacifista legion was completely wiped out in no ti.
At the sa ti, on the other side.
Reiner and Zoro joined forces, and even a powerhouse like a Marine Admiral was completely suppressed.
The three of them stood in a triangular formation, their chests heaving with their breathing.
The entire grove, which had been almost reduced to ruins, was a testant to the intensity of the battle here.
"This old blind man really doesn’t ss around when he fights. He’s much more serious than Kizaru and Aokiji," Zoro said, his gaze grave.
"It seems it’s not realistic to take down an Admiral in a short amount of ti," Reiner said, letting out a long, turbid breath. He couldn’t help but glance at Zoro again.
The moss-head’s performance had sowhat exceeded his expectations. He even suspected that Zoro might be stronger than Luffy now.
"Forget it. We’re preparing to retreat."
Reiner slowed his breathing and said to the sowhat reluctant Zoro:
"Although the Marine Headquarters has moved to the entrance of the New World, they can co over through Mary Geoise. If we keep fighting, their reinforcents will only increase."
The other had just said to call Kizaru for support. With his speed, he would probably arrive soon.
If they were held up by two Admirals, who knew if Akainu and Ryokugyu would co together as they fought. After all, this was right below Mary Geoise.
"Tch, what a buzzkill."
Zoro reluctantly straightened up and said coldly to Fujitora, "Forget it. It’s not glorious to win two-on-one anyway. Let’s save this fight for the New World."
"I don’t want to be the world’s greatest swordsman who can’t even beat an Admiral."
Compared to joining forces with Reiner, he was more looking forward to the day he could fight an Admiral alone.
"This old one’s duty is not to fight, but to capture pirates."
Fujitora opened his eyelids, revealing his cloudy white eyes. "At the very least, I have to leave one of you behind."
"That won’t do. If you want to keep soone, you’ll have to get past them first," Reiner said, a corner of his mouth lifting, preparing to summon so undead to cover their retreat.
"It seems you guys are really fired up."
A pair of slippers stepped on the rubble and slowly walked into the battlefield.
The gazes of the three were involuntarily drawn to him.
"It’s Rayleigh. Are you here to join the fun too?" Reiner waved and greeted the newcor.
"If I don’t get so exercise occasionally, these old bones will probably get loose soon."
Rayleigh had a smile on his face. He held the longsword at his waist and said to Reiner and the other, "Go on. They’ve already gathered at Grove 46."
"Alright then. Be careful not to throw out your back."
Reiner teased, then glanced at Fujitora, put away his weapon, and retreated.
"Let’s go, Zoro. Don’t keep everyone waiting too long."
"Heh, you guys are really hard to wait for."
Zoro sheathed his sword and sneered, "I arrived three days ago. I was so bored waiting, I could only go and cut down so clueless pirates for wine money."
"Why cut down pirates for wine? You’re out of money, aren’t you?" Reiner retorted sarcastically.
Zoro: "..."
