I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Is it a coincidence?

"It's that... what was his name again? Dark-skinned, toothless, a demon." Luffy, unusually, remembered the person: "The guy we couldn't beat even when the four of us teamed up last time!"

“Marshall Teach, an adventurer from our Qinghai, later became the demon son of Heram, the first progenitor of the Star Demon race.” Kuina recited the information: “Is it really him?”

The shock distorted their expressions and words, but they could understand each other. If it was that guy… the reason he appeared here in this form was worth investigating.

"Hehe~" Luffy suddenly chuckled, "Then I won't knock him away for now."

You still remember?

Smash them? Do you think you can beat them?

Judging from the current exchange between Teach and Akainu, they are basically evenly matched, but it seems that Teach has not yet used the sealing ability of the progenitor of the demon race.

That's right, that unique laugh, the kind of laugh that can't be faked or changed, is of course Teach.

He was ordered by Figo to collect young and ignorant demon children. His purpose was simply to give the children a chance. If these children could be trained, they would be sent to the Holy Demon Clan or the Star Demon Clan in the future. If they only harbored hatred on the surface, they would not escape detection.

'This guy is a bit tough to deal with.'

Teach felt the astonishing heat and squinted his small eyes slightly. Yana was also very troublesome... But this woman didn't seem to intend to make a move. Had she been recognized after close contact with the progenitor Heram?

Yana spread her eagle wings and flew several kilometers away from the center of the collision, the corrosive force completely corrupting the oncoming shock wave.

She recognized Teach, of course, and naturally knew who was giving him orders.

'To make it seem plausible to others, he deliberately had the disguised Teach do this. So, he's just doing what he wants? Typical willful justice, Figo.'

Knowing it was Figo's idea, she not only didn't want to stop Teach, but also thought about how to reasonably get Teach to take the demon child away.

Just then, after several clashes with Akainu, Apollo suddenly opened his hands out like claws and tore them in half with force!

click-

The invisible glass mesh shattered and expanded at the point where he tore it, and the invisible space seemed to become a tangible object, squeezing inward with Teach's attack, twisting the magma giant!

Space System - Trapped Bloodline!

As space collapsed, Akainu's lava surged and waned, the collision of pure power accumulating until his body exploded with a deafening roar!

The pitch-black halo expanded, engulfing everything!

The terrifying shockwaves spread for thousands of miles.

"Go back!"

"what--"

The various roars were swallowed up by the impact, and even Momousagi and Shiryu were forced back far away. They were even hit by the aftershocks and their blood surged, making it difficult to calm down!

What a strong guy!

Is General Sakazuki alright?

Just as everyone was filled with worry, the magma giant rose up once again from the center that had been swallowed by darkness, replacing the light with a scarlet glow!

"Hahaha, you're really troublesome!"

Akainu simply responded with a cold snort.

The intensity of their clash escalated further. Zidane found Yana and signaled her to join him in defeating the enemy. Before Yana could figure out how to respond, a chilling feeling suddenly rose up in her back!

Armed defense and corrosive counterattack were executed in an instant, but an extremely sudden heavy blow still broke her wings and shattered a large portion of her bones. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell rapidly!

Zidane was also thrown back by the impact. In shock and anger, he drew his sword to retaliate, but the attack was blocked. After recognizing the attacker, Zidane exclaimed, "Orslu?! You actually dare to come back?!"

The demon race's five-light king who escaped!

The sudden change brought Teach and Akainu's clash to a halt, and Ace and the others in the distance, as well as the members of the Star Legion, were all shocked.

"Minister Yana, are you alright?!"

"We can't let him escape this time!"

Akainu's magma surged again, and he looked at Teach with a gloomy face, then at Orslo.

The others reacted immediately. Luffy and his crew rushed towards Orslu, who had fled and then returned. Momousagi ran to Yana to check on her, and Shiryu joined the battle again.

Meanwhile, Teach's laughter echoed.

"Hehehe, you must have misunderstood something. I'm only here to take the child, not to help you get revenge. Hey, you guys go kill him, we'll talk about our business later."

Such a statement made those unaware of the details feel strange, but Orslu showed no sign of it. He looked down at Yana, who was being helped up by Momousagi and whose injuries were healing in the deep pit, and lowered his head even further, saying, "Thank you, my king, for giving me the opportunity to take revenge on her."

What he resented most in this battle wasn't the powerful Akainu, nor Luffy and his crew, but Yana. If it weren't for the arrival of Yana, this demon, how could Akainu have so easily killed Torrine, a five-light king!

My King?

The unique name echoed in the air.

Yana's pupils contracted as she clenched her teeth.

Peach Rabbit's face paled.

Luffy and his crew's momentum faltered.

Akainu's body tensed up suddenly.

Teach stared at the suddenly appearing purple-eyed demon, his fair face twitching slightly.

Is it too late to take back what I just said?

I am a demon general, I really am.

That alluring face and those alluring eyes seemed to linger on him the whole time!

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

"Is it the Demon King?!"

"Has Lucifer been resurrected?!"

"This is the legendary..."

No one knows who first shouted that name, but it was as if a bomb had been dropped into everyone's hearts. The legendary Demon King had descended upon them in such an ordinary and unguarded way!

"Transformation? Has Gaston Figo awakened the same ability as me?"

These were the Demon King's first words, spoken to Teach as he looked at him, exposing the disguise Figo had put on him, causing sweat to bead on Teach's forehead.

Akainu's gaze never left Lucifer for a second, and upon hearing this, he only glanced at Teach out of the corner of his eye, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Is that how it is?

Alright, let's work together to keep this guy here and find a way to notify Lord Figo!

Fear? If anyone present was the least afraid, it would definitely be him!

Uh, could it be Luffy?

"This is the Demon King?" He looked Lucifer up and down. "Nothing special about him."

There aren't three noses and two mouths.

Aside from his bewitching good looks and an indescribable aura, the Demon King's appearance was similar to that of an ordinary demon.

A height of around eight meters is not an exaggeration.

"Don't speak, Luffy." Ace's fists hardened. To say he was afraid wasn't really that much of a fear, but he knew the difference in strength, and it was better for them to keep a low profile.

But Lucifer, of course, heard it.

So I looked over here.

"You've ruined me, you idiot," Zoro said, drawing his sword two inches from its sheath.

Kuina sighed softly and did the same thing, while Kaisa also assumed a fighting stance.

If you're not family, you won't get on the same boat.

So what if he's the King of Demons?

No one can make them afraid to fight!

Well, except for Figo.

But Lucifer's next sentence caused a noticeable change in their expressions.

"Many familiar faces, Akainu Sakazuki, Roronoa Zoro, Kai'Sa."

What? What's going on? How does the Demon King know their names?!

Luffy turned to look at Zoro and Kaisa, who both looked blank and clearly couldn't answer.

Lucifer added, "Is he Monkey D. Luffy? He is indeed quite unique, but unfortunately, this time, it's still not his era."

"Huh?" Luffy turned his head in confusion, asking, "Hey, do you know me?"

"Heh, Roronoa Sauron told me that during the battle. He said if you were still alive, you would definitely punch me and send me flying." Lucifer actually revealed a light smile.

But everyone could understand every word he said.

When put together, they were completely bewildered.

"If I'm still alive?" Luffy muttered to himself, then glared at Zoro, "Hey! When did I die? Zoro!"

Zoro: "???"

What was he talking about? Could it be a premonition of the future? Even the smartest person, without sufficient information, could only think this way. Surely the Demon King isn't suffering from dementia?

Orslu was also completely bewildered. Why did the king seem to know these guys so well?

Wasn't the king just recently recovered?

“I revived too early this time. You haven’t grown up yet. You are not the protagonists of this era.” Lucifer spoke again in a language they couldn’t understand, turning his head to look at the horizon.

A golden ray of light was shooting toward this place at a speed beyond sight, spreading out in the nearby sky and revealing figures!

"The Great Emperor!"

"And the Holy Demon King?"

"Admiral Linlin! Admiral Kizaru!"

"saved!"

Upon seeing those figures, a series of relieved voices rang out, and Akainu's tense body also relaxed slightly. All the members who were going to fight the Spirit of the Lamp had arrived. These kings, who had gathered the strongest fighting force of the Spirit of the Lamp, put them at ease.
