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

At this rate, it will probably take a very long time to fully store the magnetic force.

Does that mean we'd have to watch two giants fight every day?

I don't want that kind of thing.

However, during the battle, Dorry gradually frowned.

After another clash of weapons, Dorry asked in bewilderment, "Hey, Brogy, what's wrong with your attack? It's so weak, this isn't like you!"

Brogy, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, forced a roar: "Crack! Dorry, that's your imagination! Watch me chop you away with my axe!"

He swung the giant axe again, but his movements were noticeably slower than before, and the force he exerted was much less.

Something's not right.

Luffy quickly noticed, "The giant with the axe is getting weaker."

He has become more proficient in using Observation Haki, and his proficiency is almost at level 2. The increase in level brings a huge boost to his abilities.

Just as Brogy attempted to launch another charge, a sudden change occurred. A muffled explosion abruptly came from inside Brogy's massive body. Brogy let out a painful groan, his huge body swayed violently, his battle axe flew out of his hand and crashed heavily to the ground. He knelt on one knee, his face filled with pain and disbelief.

"Broki?"

Dongli stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "What happened?"

Before Dongli could even step forward to check, the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened, melting like a candle and quickly solidifying into a hard, waxy shackle that instantly bound his legs firmly!

Dongli struggled, but was unable to break free from the sudden restraint. His massive body lost its balance and crashed to the ground.

"Hehehe, it seems the plan is going very smoothly."

A man with hair styled in the shape of the number 3 emerged from the shadows of the forest with a smug smile.

It was Mr. 3 Gardino, a senior agent of the Baroque Works.

Following behind him were Miss Valentine (Haha Sister) and Mr. 5 (Explosion Man), who had just been beaten up by Luffy not long ago.

The so-called "small investment, big crime" is just like what's happening now.

Since direct confrontation is disadvantageous and allowing the enemy to slaughter us is not an option, we should instead engage in flanking maneuvers.

It's you guys!

Luffy's face instantly darkened as he said, "How dare you interfere with their duel!"

Mr. 3 elegantly adjusted his glasses and said in an aria-like tone, "Interference? No, no, no, we just cleverly took advantage of the opportunity. The two giants were so engrossed in their battle that they overlooked the small gift."

Mr. 5's booger bomb, it must have felt pretty good detonating from the inside, right? As for Mr. Dorry, the shackles I created with my Wax-Wax Fruit, once solidified, are harder than steel.

"Damn it, it's Baroque Works again!"

Vivi was furious and felt guilty, because even the giant in the little garden had been implicated because of her.

"We were careless last time, Straw Hat Boy, but this time we won't let you be so arrogant!" Mr. 5 walked out arrogantly, picking his nose.

Miss Valentine floated into the air and giggled, "This time I'm going to crush you into a meat patty!"

"You guys."

Luffy lowered the brim of his hat, and steam began to slowly rise from his body. "Do you know that duels are sacred things?"

"Second gear!"

Luffy's body instantly turned bright red, and steam billowed out. He vanished almost instantly.

"Rubber Jet Pistol!"

"Rubber Jet Rocket Launcher!"

Two explosions that were almost simultaneous.

Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine didn't even have time to react. With bewildered expressions on their faces, they were struck hard by fists imbued with Armament Haki and sent flying like cannonballs, crashing through several large trees.

"Wh-what?!"

Mr. 3's smug smile froze, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

They were two Devil Fruit users, after all, and they were instantly killed in a single exchange?!

They were just swearing they would avenge their defeat!

So it's two, two, three, four, and then one more time?

At that moment, Robin gracefully emerged from the woods on the other side, not far away.

"Oh dear, it seems Mr. 3, your plan has run a little wrong."

Mr. 3 was startled when he saw Robin, but then he grasped at the straw as if it were a lifeline: "Miss All Sunday, you've come at the right time! Help me deal with this straw hat kid."

Robin shook her head, crossed her arms, and calmly interrupted him: "Sorry, I am now Straw Hat Luffy's prisoner."

"Captured, prisoners?"

Mr.3 didn't react for a moment.

But looking at Robin, she doesn't look like a prisoner at all.

Robin was arguably the most core member of Baroque Works; he would defect at the drop of a hat.

Mr. 3's expression changed drastically. "You betrayed the boss?!"

Robin smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, and instead began to explain Mr. 3's abilities to Luffy.

They practically revealed everything about Mr. 3.

No one dares to underestimate Robin's intelligence capabilities; she was responsible for 80% of the initial success of Baroque Works.

Crocodile is just the boss behind the scenes; few people know his true identity.

Chapter 85 Third Brother: Use the Overlord Kingdom to attack me?

"He's a Wax-Wax Fruit user. He can create and control candles at will, and they are indeed very hard once solidified. His weakness is probably that he's afraid of heat. The little girl over there is his partner, Miss Goldenweek. She's not a Devil Fruit user, but her color hypnosis is troublesome. It's best not to let her draw..." Robin said.

Mr. 3 trembled with rage: "Miss, All Sunday, you actually revealed my abilities. You really are a traitor!"

Luffy had no interest in their infighting; his gaze was fixed on Mr. 3, urging him to release Dorry and the others as soon as possible.

Mr. 3 was startled by Luffy's intimidating gaze and took a step back, but when he saw Miss Goldenweek beside him, he forced himself to calm down.

With a wave of his hands, a large amount of white wax gushed out, quickly forming a thick wall of candles in front of him. At the same time, more wax surged towards Luffy like a tide, trying to trap him.

"The candle barrier. The candle shackles!"

"My candle is invincible; you can forget about breaking through it!"

Luffy stared at the oncoming waves of wax and the wall, his eyes remaining completely unmoved.

He had seen far too many random Devil Fruits.

Anyway, it has a domineering aura, and can even defeat the most prestigious Logia-type Devil Fruit, let alone this blob of white slime.

Luffy stretched his fist back to its limit, covered by jet-black Armament Haki.

"Rubber Jet Siege Cannon!"

boom!

The fist, imbued with domineering power, slammed into the candle wall like a real battering ram.

Does this world have city walls?

That word doesn't exist in front of Luffy.

The candle, which was said to be harder than steel, shattered as easily as paper, with wax fragments flying everywhere.

"No, it's impossible!"

Mr.3 watched as his strongest defense was shattered by a single punch, and his mentality completely collapsed.

He hurriedly looked at Miss Golden Week next to him and shouted, "Golden Week, quickly use color tactics!"

"Don't rush me!"

During Golden Week, people who don't want to go to work tend to procrastinate on everything, resulting in ridiculously slow efficiency.

She has no choice but to look at it now.

Just as she was about to pick up her paintbrush and speed things up, Luffy glared at her.

That was a sharp gaze honed through countless life-or-death battles, containing the potential for dominance.

The little girl couldn't bear the pressure; she screamed in fright, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Golden Week!?"

Mr. 3 panicked completely. Seeing Luffy closing in step by step, he screamed hysterically, mobilizing all the remaining wax, "I'll fight you to the death, Candle Champion Cup!"

A large amount of wax enveloped him, forming a giant candle statue, which then swung its wax fist at Luffy.

This was a desperate last-ditch effort.

No one told him that a guy who had just arrived on the Grand Line was actually so strong.

Mr. 3's original plan was to capture the two giants so he could collect the bounty; the Straw Hat Pirates were just a side effect of his plan.

The plan had gone too smoothly until it all fell apart with Luffy.

[Warning, it's time for ability development...]

Capability development, right?

I'll let you drive.

A red glint flashed in Luffy's eyes as he dodged Mr. 3's candle fist and began to blow air with his right hand.

"Rubber Hegemony!"

Broki, who was not far away, still retained a sliver of consciousness and was watching this side. His expression instantly collapsed.

Was he a giant too?

Although it didn't possess the earth-shattering power of the real Elbaf Spear, Luffy's attack, which imitated a giant's technique and concentrated all his strength, was still far more powerful than usual.
