They felt an incomparable energy coming from the darkness. It was the release of Luffy's powerful fruit power.

] “Get out of the way!”

1 Naruto exclaimed.

4 Chapter 258 Fighting to the Death

4 A huge black shadow suddenly appeared above the lake and rushed towards the Straw Hat Pirates.

0 Kidd and his men immediately avoided and hid in all directions.

4 The tornado swung, and the sword flashed like lightning.

8 Naruto and Zoro fought desperately and were evenly matched.

* "Luffy! Can you tear through this darkness?"

^ Naruto looked at Luffy expectantly.

5 Luffy, who has been through many battles, is full of confidence in this.

0 With a resolute expression on his face, he took a step forward.

5 "My fruit power is suppressed in the meantime."

7 Luffy muttered under his breath.

"But I have even more powerful abilities."

He suddenly jumped up, and a halo formed by the blue emblem spread out around his body.

The power of One Piece surged out like the sea, shattering the darkness like a huge wave.

The view before me was bright, and the reflection in the lake was still bright and peaceful.

The Straw Hat Pirates and Kidd looked at the powerful ability displayed by Luffy in amazement.

"You...you actually possess such a powerful power!"

Kidd exclaimed in shock.

"God knows where you came from!"

Kidd's men were also shocked. Although they served Kidd, they were in awe of Luffy's strength at this moment.

So they successfully broke through.

The lake in front of me was as calm as a mirror, returning to a quiet and peaceful state.

The Straw Hat Pirates, Kidd, and his 250 hands were all shocked by the powerful ability displayed by Luffy.

After a brief silence, Naruto broke the ice.

"Good job, Luffy!"

Naruto patted Luffy's shoulder excitedly.

"We will definitely defeat Kidd!"

Luffy smiled and nodded. He had gradually mastered the impact brought by the powerful power of the fruit in his body.

He is full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

"That's right!"

Zoro said passionately.

The Straw Hat Pirates gathered together to inspect their equipment and evaluate their action plans.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, with everyone eager to ensure all preparations were in place to ensure success.

"Everyone, please pay attention. We will now enter Cape Dawn, which is the most likely place where Kidd's trap will appear."

Robin guided everyone calmly.

"We must act with caution and be prepared for possible attacks."

"Yes, I don't know what other tricks Kidd has. No matter how strong we are, we have to be careful."

Usopp reminded.

Even though they had just experienced a fierce battle, everyone was still on edge, keeping alert as the enemy might appear at any time.

"Luffy, you advance ahead of the team. Naruto and I will be responsible for defending you."

Zoro suggested.

Luffy nodded in agreement.

He leaped onto the rocks in front of him, looked around, and then headed deeper into Cape Dawn.

Naruto followed closely behind, his momentum surging.

Nami and Usopp protected their teammates behind them.

Robin was responsible for intelligence gathering, observing in all directions for signs of possible enemies.

On this quiet and peaceful Cape of Dawn, the Straw Hat Pirates felt a little nervous and full of urgency.

They knew they couldn't afford to be careless in their decisive battle with Kidd.

Everyone silently assigned tasks and roles to themselves and reminded each other.

"Everyone, be careful of the enemies hiding around. They may appear at any time." Robin reminded.

Usopp gripped the bow tightly in his hand and nodded in response without hesitation.

His eyes revealed vigilance and determination towards the enemy.

Leo had been standing silently at the back of the team, watching his surroundings intently and supporting his teammates.

Awakened by Robin's reminder, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates became more alert.

They steadied their breathing and focused their attention on the Storm Ridge before them.

"Everyone be careful! This is a very dangerous place."

Luffy shouted, gripping the battle stick tightly in his hand and scanning the surroundings with a determined gaze.

Zoro nodded seriously.

"Not only do we have to outsmart the mysterious pirate group, but we also have to overcome the difficulties brought by Storm Ridge."

Leo, who was in charge of guarding in the back, felt the pressure and tension in his teammates' hearts. He silently watched the two strong men, Naruto and Zoro, ready to provide support when they encountered difficulties.

At this moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of him.

The water surged violently and the sand fell from the sky with a roar.

"Be careful! Enel!"

Luffy quickly dodged a rock that fell from the sky while signaling to Naruto to move to the left.

Naruto immediately noticed Luffy's signal, he gritted his teeth and quickly dodged another flying piece of driftwood.

Even in this emergency, Nami and Usopp did not stop being vigilant against the enemy.

They search for enemies around them with foresight and are always ready to launch a counterattack.

Leo glanced over his teammates, realizing that this battle would be a test.

He drew his pistol without hesitation, maintaining the best defensive posture, ready to provide support at any time.

Suddenly, a huge ship emerged from the whirlpool.

A sinister red flag was painted on its black hull.

This is the flagship of the mysterious pirate group.

"It seems the opponent has arrived."

Robin said calmly.

"Everyone prepare to welcome them."

The Straw Hat Pirates immediately prepared for battle.

Luffy took a step forward, anxiously watching the massive, approaching ship.

"Come on! Let's have a real fight at Storm Ridge!"

Luffy shouted, his voice sounding unusually loud amidst the wind and sand and the rough sea.

The battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and the mysterious pirate group is about to break out.

Storm Ridge suddenly became dead silent, with only the sound of fierce whistling and the boat shaking violently in the water.

In the turbulent sea, sword moves and fists and feet intertwined, making deafening collision sounds.

The Straw Hat Pirates had just escaped from a fierce battle. Everyone was still full of fighting spirit, but they also felt a little tired.

They knew this was just the beginning, and they still had a long way to go in the face of the powerful and mysterious enemy of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

At this time, they came to Kirigakure Port, a place covered by thick fog.

The Straw Hat Pirates and a young insider named Alex agreed to meet secretly here.

"Are you the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Alex asked in a low voice, seeming to observe his surroundings cautiously.

"Yes."

Luffy nodded.

"We are here to defeat the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Zoro gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

"Tell us about the internal defense layout of the Holy Land Mary Geoise."

Leo moved closer.

"We need to know how many people they have, which areas are heavily guarded, and whether they have measures to protect the Sage Tree..."

Alex's eyes flickered, and he carefully looked around to make sure no one could hear their conversation.

Chapter 259 Secret Passage

"The Holy Land of Marijoa is a huge island, and it has a complex defense layout."

Alex whispered.

"First, the island is heavily guarded with numerous artillery and military installations. Second, the main buildings are riddled with alarms and traps, making entry extremely dangerous."

Nami frowned in thought.

"Is the Sage Tree their core?"

Alex nodded.

"Yes, the Sage Tree is considered the most important and sacred existence on the island. They will definitely protect it with all their might."

Usopp suddenly interrupted.

"Then how can we get inside~?"

Alex gave a sly smile.

"I know a secret passage that can bypass their guard."

There was a flash of anticipation in the Straw Hat Pirates' eyes.

"However, this passage is not safe."

Alex was blunt.

“There are a lot of traps and guards inside. Even if you succeed in getting inside, you must be careful to deal with various challenges.”

Luffy stood up, his eyes gleaming with fire.

"It's okay, we've never been intimidated by fear! We'll break in!"

The Straw Hat Pirates docked at Ghost Beach, and the companions on the ship observed this isolated island, which was famous for its frequent appearance of phantoms, with curiosity and anticipation.

Ghost Beach is a quiet and eerie place. In the distance there are gloomy woods and cliffs, revealing traces of fierce battles that once took place.
