Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

The two shot towards the white light like cannonballs.

.......

A world conference not long after.

This is an international conference held regularly by member states of the World Government.

The conference is held every four years in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, bringing together monarchs from 50 member countries to discuss matters of world security and order. World nobles, the Celestial Dragons, and high-ranking government officials also participate.

At this moment, I feel grounded, not on some ocean.

Luffy immediately opened his eyes, and his Observation Haki spread out in all directions like a radar.

Then his expression froze.

They stood on a wide road paved with white marble, with exquisite sculptures and fountains on both sides, and in the distance, magnificent palace-like buildings, resplendent in gold, gleaming dazzlingly in the sunlight.

But these are not the main points.

The key is the people around you.

Men and women dressed in gorgeous gowns, adorned with various crowns and jewels, looked like royalty or nobles of some country.

They were chatting in small groups, holding crystal-clear wine glasses, the air filled with a mixture of perfume and food aromas.

Interspersed among these nobles were numerous uniformed guards, armed with spears or swords, their expressions serious and vigilant as they surveyed the surroundings.

The appearance of Luffy and Toki was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

After a brief silence, screams and gasps erupted.

"Who goes there?!"

"Guards! Intruder!"

"Protect Your Majesties!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

The nobles retreated in panic, while the guards quickly assembled, forming a human wall between Luffy and the nobles.

Spears and swords were all pointed at the two men.

Luffy looked down at himself.

He was shirtless, wearing only tattered trousers, with a black knife tucked into his waistband.

This design can be described as extremely wild.

Let's look at the sky and moon again.

Her long, light green hair and elegant kimono, though slightly disheveled from her travels, were still quite neat overall.

She was clinging tightly to Luffy's waist, looking like a kidnapped princess.

"Hey, where is this place?" Luffy asked.

No one answered him.

At that moment, a sharp sound came from afar, amplified by some kind of loudspeaker, and resounded throughout the entire area:

"Something terrible has happened! Five kings have been attacked and kidnapped! This is an abduction, and the perpetrator is a burly man dressed in black!"

Luffy: "???"

He looked down at his clothes, or more precisely, at his only pair of pants.

"My pants are red."

Luffy spoke earnestly to the nearest guard.

The guard was clearly stunned. He looked at Luffy's bare upper body and red pants, then at Amaterasu Toki's pink kimono, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, shouted into the Den Den Mushi in his hand:

"The kidnappers also included a man wearing red pants and a woman wearing a pink kimono!"

Nonsense, if a strange person suddenly appears in front of them, shouldn't they be treated as a kidnapper?

Luffy's face darkened.

Tenzuki Toki pointed to herself, giving a bewildered yet adorable look, then turned to Luffy:

"Lord Luffy, have we become kidnappers?"

"What a joke, these guys are out of their minds." Luffy looked annoyed.

He was already in a bad mood because he lost his hat, and after beating up Gion, the woman stopped coming out altogether, leaving Amaterasu Toki to keep appearing.

Now he's inexplicably being treated as a kidnapper?

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

Where is the next exit of the time wormhole?

When Luffy asked Tengetsu, "Let's get out of this awful place right away."

Amatsuki closed his eyes, sensed the surroundings, and then pointed in a direction: "It's over there, but it's a bit far, and it won't appear for another ten minutes."

"Ten minutes."

Luffy clicked his tongue and looked around at the growing number of guards. "I'll just wait here for ten minutes. Hopefully, these people won't bother me."

His hopes were too high.

The guards clearly weren't going to let them wait quietly; after the initial chaos, the well-trained guards began to organize an attack.

A squad of shield-bearing guards stood at the front, followed by archers and musketeers.

"Take them down!"

"For the safety of the Holy Land!"

Luffy sighed and pulled Amaterasu behind him: "Hold on tight."

"Ah."

Tenzuki Toki skillfully wrapped her arms around Luffy's waist and buried her face in his back.

The next second, Luffy moved.

Without using any Devil Fruit abilities, relying solely on his physical strength, his body transformed into a red afterimage as he charged into the ranks of guards.

Luffy held back.

Although these guards were well-equipped, their strength was at most that of a naval branch captain, making them no different from ordinary soldiers to him.

Even with restraint, the scene was still quite shocking.

In just over ten seconds, all twenty-odd guards who rushed up in the first wave lay on the ground, groaning and unable to get up.

Their weapons were scattered all over the ground, and their shields were covered with fist marks.

The guards behind were stunned.

This is not a person they can handle.

"Monster."

"Quickly request backup!"

"Summon the general!"

Luffy ignored their commotion and looked in the direction Tengetsu was pointing, at the location where the time wormhole was about to appear.

It was deep within the palace complex, requiring passage through several corridors and courtyards.

"Walk."

When Luffy grabbed Tengetsu, he used his rubber legs to propel himself out like a cannonball.

"Stop him!"

More guards poured in from all directions.

Luffy clicked his tongue impatiently and finally drew the black sword, Demonic Aura, from his waist.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

A flash of light appeared.

Luffy swatted away the guards blocking his way like flies, moving with incredible speed as he weaved through the crowd, causing chaos and falls wherever he went.

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise is in complete chaos.

Alarms blared incessantly, and more guards poured out from every corner.

Luffy frowned as he moved forward.

There are far too many guards here; what have they broken into?

"Turn left, then go straight, then turn right."

Tengetsu whispered directions to Luffy in his ear.

The two ran amok through the palace complex.

Luffy gradually lost patience and began to clear a path in a more brutal way, smashing through walls and cleaving open doors.

In an instant, gravel flew everywhere and dust filled the air.

Just as they were passing through a long corridor and about to reach the next courtyard, Luffy's Observation Haki suddenly gave a warning.

A powerful aura was approaching around the corner ahead, and my Observation Haki suddenly gave a strong warning.

Danger!

And that aura...

"Is it Conqueror's Haki?" Luffy raised an eyebrow.

interesting.

In this strange place, how could I possibly encounter someone with Conqueror's Haki?

Almost simultaneously, the person on the other side of the corner also noticed Luffy.

Two powerful auras collided through the wall, and the air became heavy.

Luffy grinned.
