Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Taking the double-edged battle axe from behind, Zhan Taomaru took a step to the right, bent his knees and pressed the ground with his left hand.

"If this continues, we won't be able to wait for the old man."

Then he suddenly exerted force with his legs, pushing his round body out like a human cannonball!

Feeling his movements, Luffy grinned and bared his big white teeth, "Come on, Watermelon Head!"

Facing an opponent whom he could not defeat two years ago, he could not help but become more eager to fight, with the dark armament domineering wrapped around his two arms.

boom! !

Luffy dodged the pitch-black battle axe by leaning sideways, and it hit the ground, creating a crack more than ten meters long.

Zhan Taowan immediately raised his left hand, and the domineering aura he released turned into an impact and blasted forward.

"Walking alone in the sky!!"

"I saw it."

Luffy seemed to have anticipated this. As the opponent raised his hand, he kicked upwards, hitting the opponent's arm and deflecting his attack.

Then he appeared beside the opponent with a swish and threw a punch through the air!

boom!

Zhan Taomaru loosened the axe handle and rushed forward with his right fist. Luffy's fist collided with the opponent's and he twisted his feet.

Biaozhuang's body was surprisingly flexible. He turned around and picked up the battle axe embedded in the ground with his left hand.

The whistling axe blade hit forward like an iron wall!

boom!

Luffy spread his hands and tightly grasped the blunt end of the axe blade, twisting his waist and exerting force to begin rotating his body.

Until his whole body was twisted like a hemp rope, he grinned, and swung Zhan Taowan up and swung his axe wildly!

"Rubber Rubber Super Windmill!"

boom! !

The powerful centrifugal force threw Zhan Taomaru violently away, and he crashed straight into several pacifists and knocked them away!

A cloud of dust rises!

"It's not over yet, it's not over yet!!"

Luffy stretched his right arm backwards and rushed towards the opponent without stopping!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the thick smoke, Zhan Taowan coughed a few times, swung his battle axe, creating a gust of air and blowing away the dust around him.

At this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and in his widened eyes he saw Luffy rushing towards his face.

And behind him, there was a red-hot arm, emitting flames! ?

"Rubber rubber!"

Luffy's eyes darkened, and the flames on his arms erupted fiercely!

Flames shot up into the sky, dimming the sky!

"I am the man with the strongest defense!"

Zhan Taowan opened his mouth and shouted loudly, put his arms on his waist, and stood firmly in a horse stance to meet the challenge!

"Iron Block·Giant!!"

"Jet Fire Fist Gun!!"

Luffy roared, and his tense arms contracted instantly. The invisible air was broken and hit the opponent's abdomen hard!

boom! !

“Puwaa ...

Burning flames shot out from his back! Zhan Taowan's eyes rolled back, his entire body bent like a shrimp, and he couldn't help but spit out blood!

An intense pain struck his mind, and he felt as if his soul had flown out of his body. His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness in an instant.

His weak knees slowly knelt down, and the whole person fell forward to the ground.

"Hehehe, I won."

Luffy squinted his eyes and laughed, brushing off the dust on his body.

Turning back, he looked at the army of pacifists that had densely surrounded him and were continuing to carry out Sen Taomaru's orders.

"It would have been a headache to face so many of them back then."

Luffy chuckled.

The sky is as blue and clear as a mirror, white clouds are floating leisurely, and the gentle breeze creates ripples on the grass.

I heard

Reiner, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook.

Everyone’s voice.

They have all become much stronger.

Luffy lowered the straw hat on his head, and the brim of the hat covered half of his face, leaving only the corners of his mouth raised with excitement.

It's time to set sail again, everyone.

Chapter 245 Gathering

The smoke of war spread across the entire Peninsula 46, and lasers were flying all over the sky.

A legion of 50 Pacifists are working together in an orderly manner to surround and kill Luffy in the middle.

At the same time, outside the encirclement.

Usopp and his two companions were rushing to the battlefield, ready to break the encirclement and join Luffy inside.

Didi didi! !

"Identifying target."

A Pacifist who was attacked from the back turned around, and the crosshairs in his sight drifted rapidly, stopping on a light blue crew cut.

"Iron Man Franky, the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates, has a bounty of 1 million berries."

The cold, mechanical voice contained no emotion at all.

The Pacifist locked onto the target without a moment's pause, raised his palm, aimed, and began to focus the laser.

"Enemy, annihilate."

"——Oh, my bounty has increased."

Franky, on the contrary, seemed a little excited. He stretched out his legs and ran to the side to avoid the attack.

call out!

The laser beam hit the earth, instantly causing a violent explosion.

boom! !

"Star Shield!"

Franky, who was blown away, raised his huge arms in front of his chest, turning them into flat shields to block the impact of the explosion.

After rolling in the air and before landing, two small turrets rose from its mechanical shoulders.

Franky grinned confidently and fired two rockets at the Pacifist!

"Franky Destroyer Cannon!!"

call out!call out!

The rocket launcher dragged a long tail of flame and hit the huge steel body with a crisp "ding" sound.

boom! !

Boom! ! Accompanied by a dazzling light, the special shell exploded violently, engulfing Pacifism in an instant.

"Well done Franky!"

Usopp raised his fist and jumped up, cheering and praising, saying enviously, "And more! Your bounty is over 100 million!"

"Well, it was probably an incident from two years ago."

Franky looked very proud, and he folded his palm to reveal the muzzle of the gun, saying, "After all, he caused a big disturbance in Impel Down and entered the war. If you calculate carefully, it just increased by 100 million Baileys."

Sensing the movement, several Pacifists turned around one after another.

The information obtained by the destroyed pacifist sub was also shared through the signal.

Didi didi! !

Dense electronic sounds rang out coldly, and a condensed golden light twinkled like stars.

Seeing this large number of lasers, Usopp quickly drew his gun and quickly withdrew his body, frowning and said, "Doesn't that mean that everyone's bounty may increase?"

He was both excited and scared at the thought of his bounty increasing again, because it meant that in future adventures, even if he was mixed in with a group of monsters, his head would easily be targeted by others.

but

Usopp's lips, which were as thick as sausages, raised slightly. My name will definitely reach their ears.

Dad, Kaya, Onionhead...

Would they be proud of me?

In fact, not only them, but also supernovas such as Kidd and Law have seen their bounties increase a lot.

Similar to the incident when they caused a commotion on Judicial Island, the bounties of the supernovas increased by at least 100 million.

From the judicial island of Enies, to the underwater prison Impelton, to the naval headquarters of Marinford.

In the first half of the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates, a pirate group that had just set out to sea, directly caused chaos in all three major agencies directly under the World Government.

A sharp increase in bounty is inevitable, especially after the war at the top of the war was reversed.
