They're not even in the same league.

Could it be that Luffy has truly secured his position as the Fifth Emperor?

This sudden turn of events acted as a fuse, and the pirates under the command of the other Supernovas, under extreme tension, subconsciously adopted defensive or offensive stances.

The sounds of swords being drawn echoed, and gun barrels were faintly pointed at Luffy and his crew.

When faced with an unknown and powerful common threat, sticking together may bring a false sense of security.

Suddenly, Luffy and his crew seemed to become the target of everyone's criticism.

"Tsk,"

Luffy frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing across his face. "This is troublesome, really."

His plan.

That crucial plan, which concerns Ace's life, cannot be disrupted by these unexpected conflicts.

If things get too big and scare those pampered Celestial Dragons into staying indoors, or if it attracts the Navy's attention too quickly, that would be terrible.

At this moment, Luffy couldn't fully understand the Celestial Dragons' bizarre thought process of maintaining a godlike demeanor even if the sky were to fall. He was only worried that his target would hide because of this.

Seeing the pirates raising their weapons and glaring menacingly at him, Luffy's eyes suddenly sharpened:

"I don't have time to waste on you."

An invisible yet heavy pressure, like a bursting dam, erupted from him!

The overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire arena!

Ugh!

Pfft!

As if struck by an invisible hammer, the pirates who had raised their weapons and were looking ferocious instantly rolled their eyes back and fell down like wheat being harvested, lying on the ground in an instant, losing consciousness.

The previously noisy and chaotic scene was instantly cleared up.

Not every crew member under the Supernovas is a powerful executive.

Under the impact of this kingly quality, less than one in ten can remain clear-headed.

"Well!?"

Trafalgar Law broke out in a cold sweat as he gripped the hilt of the Ghost Cry sword tightly.

"Are you kidding me?"

Eustace Kidd gritted his teeth, and his slightly trembling arms showed that he was under tremendous pressure.

If Luffy's previous display of Armament Haki and unpredictable speed was still within their comprehension and even catching up to, then this terrifying power that instantly wiped out hundreds of people was completely beyond their understanding.

"Hey, isn't that Conqueror's Haki?!"

The voice of one of the remaining officers of the Kid Pirates trembled as he uttered these words, almost as a groan.

Not only him, but Drake, in his Allosaurus form, also had disbelief in his huge vertical pupils as he stared intently at Luffy, as if trying to re-evaluate his opponent.

As one of the few Supernovas who possessed Haki and the Six Powers of the Navy before entering the New World, Drake himself still regarded these so-called Supernovas with a condescending attitude.

As a result, the Straw Hat Luffy seemed to be more skilled in both Armament Haki and Observation Haki than he was.

That's fine.

Has Conqueror's Haki not only awakened, but reached this level?

If Drake didn't know that Luffy was born in the East Blue, he would really doubt whether his hometown was in the New World.

Domineering aura is inherently a high-level form of power.

In the first half of the Grand Line, apart from the Navy having sufficient teaching capacity to support the training of its soldiers, pirates simply did not have the time or the means to do so.

The fact that Zoro, the pirate hunter, possesses Armament Haki and can turn his weapon into a black blade is already surprising enough.

Now it seems there's a reason why that man, who doesn't easily submit to others, became the right-hand man of a pirate crew.

Aside from Apoo, who had already been knocked unconscious, all the Supernovas who were still standing looked extremely shocked.

There are quite a few people who know their stuff.

"The qualities of a king?"

Urouge still wore his signature smirk, but his tone had become incredibly serious. "It seems there's a reason why the bounty has reached this level. The rumors about the Fifth Emperor are probably not unfounded."

Capone Becky nearly bit off the cigar he was holding; over 80% of his men in the castle inside his body had fainted in that instant!

Of the remaining 20% ​​who were still conscious, most had weak legs and their fighting ability was greatly reduced.

He cursed inwardly:

"The World Government's newspaper really knows how to hide its shortcomings!"

For a dangerous character like Luffy, the newspapers have been exaggerating his crimes, probably hiding ninety percent of his true fighting strength and abilities!

Pirates with this kind of talent are few and far between, even in the New World where strong individuals are as numerous as carp crossing a river!

"Win rate less than one percent?"

Basil Hawkins quickly drew a tarot card, his fingertips trembling almost imperceptibly. He glanced at the card, his face turning extremely grim.

This win rate is not his personal win rate against Luffy.

It's not about the chances of all the Supernovas teaming up against Luffy!

It's a losing proposition!

"You can still stand?"

Luffy glanced around at the Supernovas, who, though disheveled, still stood tall. His tone was calm, as if he were simply stating a fact: "As expected of the Supernovas."

The way he said those words carried an invisible sense of humiliation in the current situation.

But Luffy was actually just reflecting on it. He thought Conqueror's Haki could clear the area immediately, but it seems Shakky was right; these guys really do have some skills.

This further convinced him that in order to successfully execute the plan, he had to eliminate these potential destabilizing factors, or at least prevent them from interfering with him again.

The plan to rescue Ace cannot afford the slightest carelessness or accident.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

Kidd's roar shattered the tense atmosphere. He drew his sword from his waist and snarled, "I'm extremely annoyed right now! So what if I have this damn talent? Talent is absolutely useless for becoming the Pirate King!!"

The moment Kidd finished speaking, Killer beside him flickered, and two scythe-like weapons, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, attacked Luffy like ghosts!

The speed is astonishing.

"Humph!"

Zoro also noticed this, and with a cold snort, he drew half of his three swords in an instant, ready to meet the attack.

However, Luffy was faster.

"Wait, Zoro."

Luffy's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority: "I'll take them down faster."

He turned to Nami and said, "Nami, explain to Zoro what we're going to do later."

Upon hearing this, Zoro clicked his tongue in regret and sheathed his sword. "That's a real shame. I was hoping to give it a try."

Despite saying that, he still chose to obey the captain's orders unconditionally.

Moreover, the fact that Luffy was so serious about explaining it aroused his great curiosity.

It's rare to see Luffy so serious.

It's important to know that there's an unspoken agreement within the Straw Hat Pirates: the captain is usually the one who takes the hits, but when the captain asks you to take the hits, that's when real danger is imminent.

Of course, given Luffy's personality, he would never give such an order.

Chapter 304 Celestial Dragons, the Prey is on the Table

"You really dare to say that!" Kidd completely broke down, feeling that he had been thoroughly underestimated.

And at that very moment, Luffy moved!

His figure vanished from his spot as if by teleportation, and the next instant, he appeared in front of Kira, who was rushing towards him.

Kira didn't even see what happened. He only felt an irresistible force slam into his chest, as if he had been hit by a speeding sea train. His vision went black, and he was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than he had come.

The figure flew past Kidd and crashed into a pile of debris in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Kira!"

Kidd's eyes were bloodshot.

After Luffy knocked Killer away, he didn't stop and appeared directly in front of Kid like a ghost.

At this moment, his skin turned snow-white, and his hair danced like flames.

Fifth Gear - Nika Mode!

"By the way, what's your name?"

Luffy seemed to remember something and asked a question.

Eustass Kidd!

Kidd's lip veins bulged as he roared, feeling utterly insulted, "You'll remember this name! Magnetism String!!"

Enraged, Kid unleashed the full power of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, drawing in the scattered metal debris and transforming it into countless blades that pierced Luffy from all directions!

However, Luffy simply twisted his body casually, as if he had no bones, and easily dodged all the attacks from various incredible angles. The metal blades missed their mark and instead embedded themselves in the ground or walls.

"Rubber, the seal of the White Giant!"

Luffy smiled, and one of his legs instantly grew to a gigantic size.

Cover the sky.

With an unparalleled momentum, it stomped down on Kidd's head!
