He looked up at a hole in the ceiling, the spot where he had just fallen.

Luffy suddenly leaped up, intending to leave through the hole first.

Luffy was so fast that his two sisters couldn't stop him at all.

It was clear that the Empress's arrow of capture would not be able to hit Luffy before he could escape.

The three of them were immediately extremely annoyed.

However, just when they thought Luffy was about to escape, they were surprised to see him suddenly turn back and flash through the air towards the Empress.

Upon seeing this, the two younger sisters exclaimed in surprise.

"Sister, be careful! He's back!"

"Was he pretending to run away so he could launch a surprise attack? That despicable man, so insidious!"

The two younger sisters were extremely angry with Luffy's behavior and cursed him for his shameful actions.

The Empress simply snorted coldly at this.

"Hmph! You dared to approach me, now you can't escape!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress suddenly raised her foot and kicked Luffy.

"Fragrant feet!"

This ability can also petrify people. Although it cannot completely petrify them, it can still restrict the enemy's movements, making it quite powerful.

Because he was too close to the Empress, Luffy was unable to dodge in time and tried to block with one foot, but was petrified on the spot.

Seeing that Luffy had lost a leg, his two sisters were overjoyed.

"Hmph! With only one leg left, you can't escape now!"

"Suffer to death!"

With a loud shout, the two charged towards Luffy.

However, to the surprise of both them and the Empress, Luffy still showed no intention of stopping even after one of his legs was petrified.

They are still getting closer to the Empress.

This situation left the three of them quite puzzled.

Seeing that Luffy was already close by, the Empress immediately kicked him again.

She thought Luffy would stop there and distance himself from her.

But to her surprise, Luffy continued his advance and blocked her with one arm.

Instantly, part of that arm was also petrified.

At that moment, Luffy finally stopped.

But what froze the three of them in place for a moment was...

Luffy suddenly hugged the Empress tightly from behind.

This turn of events caught all three of them completely off guard.

However, after a moment of stunned silence, all three of them were filled with rage.

The current empress is completely naked.

Being hugged tightly from behind by Luffy like that, the scene speaks for itself.

Both sisters were enraged by Luffy's actions and roared in extreme resentment.

"You despicable man, you sacrificed an arm and a leg just to take advantage of your sister before you die."

"Let go of my sister right now, you shameless man!"

The Empress's eyes also held murderous intent and rage. She turned her head and glanced at Luffy behind her out of the corner of her eye, speaking in an extremely cold tone.

"Your behavior..."

"Absolutely unforgivable!"

After uttering a harsh threat, the Empress planned to attack Luffy.

dong dong dong dong!

However, at that moment, a series of extremely hurried and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Because the battle had paused for a moment, and because the two younger sisters had just opened the bathhouse door, the footsteps became incredibly clear.

Along with the sound of footsteps came screams of extreme panic.

"Something terrible has happened, Lady Snake Princess!"

"Something terrible has happened! Lady Marigold! Lady Sandasonia!"

"Huh?! What... what's going on?" Shan.

Chapter 156 The Intruders! A Woman's Intuition! (Thanks to the beautiful and talented woman for the monthly ticket!)

When these panicked and confused voices rang out at the door, the three empress sisters trembled simultaneously, their bodies instantly drenched in cold sweat, and their eyes filled with endless panic.

They were so focused on killing Luffy that they didn't notice anyone approaching.

The Empress is still completely naked. If Luffy weren't hugging her from behind, the mark on her back would definitely be seen by the people outside.

The three sisters felt a wave of fear when they thought about how something irreversible almost happened.

The Empress glanced at Luffy with a strange look in her eyes and spoke in an extremely soft voice.

"Did you return specifically to protect me?"

Luffy smiled slightly and whispered back.

"Didn't you say that mark was something you'd rather die than have anyone see?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress felt a tremor in her heart, as if her soul had been struck.

She never expected that Luffy would risk having his body petrified to protect her.

And because Luffy was right next to Boa Hancock, he was speaking right next to her ear.

The warm breath exhaled onto the Empress's ear, giving her an even more unusual feeling.

In an instant, her body became incredibly stiff and tense, as if she herself had been petrified, frozen there motionless.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, several Kuja Pirates warriors at the door were completely dumbfounded.

"Is this...is this the intruder from earlier?"

"It seems to be a man!"

"Why is this man... hugging Lady Snake?"

These questions immediately brought the Empress and her two sisters back to their senses.

Marigold immediately put on a stern face and said angrily in a stern voice.

Why did you come here?

"Don't you know it's Lady Snake's bath time?"

"Disobeying orders...you know what the consequences are, right?!"

Marie Gruud's angry shout of "340" immediately startled the soldiers, causing them to abandon their distractions and kneel down in unison.

Suddenly remembering something, he reported in a panic.

"I'm sorry, Lady Marigold! We didn't mean to disobey orders."

"A group of invaders broke into the forest outside the city. Even the combined forces of the national protectors and the pirate crew led by Lord Lan were no match for them."

"Those invaders are too strong! Lord Lan sent someone back to tell us to report this to you immediately."

"Please, Lady Snake Princess, spare us! The situation was urgent, and we had no choice but to disobey orders!"

Upon hearing this, Marigold and Sandasonia both widened their eyes in shock and exclaimed.

"How is this possible?! Even the combined forces of the National Guard and the Kuja Pirates are no match for them?!"

"Such a powerful intruder has attacked! Sister?!"

Sandasonia nervously called out to the Empress, seemingly seeking her opinion.

But in reality, the Empress knew that what she was asking was how to deal with Luffy.

Otherwise, without the Empress even having to say a word, they would have led their troops to meet the invaders without hesitation.

Without much thought, the Empress made a decision immediately and said...

"You two go with them to meet the enemy!"

"I'll get dressed and be right there!"

Upon hearing the Empress say this, the two younger sisters immediately knew that the Empress did not intend to pursue the matter of Luffy seeing their secret.

"Yes, sister!"

The two responded simultaneously, and then quickly left with the soldiers at the door.

After everyone had left, Luffy finally released Boa Hancock.

Then, with an apologetic expression, he said...

"Sorry! The group of intruders they were referring to were actually my comrades!"

"It seems they've caused you quite a bit of trouble!"

When those people said there was a group of powerful invaders, Luffy released his Observation Haki over a wide area and sensed those familiar auras.

The Empress was quickly getting dressed when she heard Luffy's words and was momentarily stunned.

"Your partner?!"

"That's exactly what I was going to ask!"

"Who exactly are you people? Why have you come to our country?"

If Luffy hadn't helped her block the slave mark and said he didn't want to fight, the Empress would have definitely thought Luffy and his crew had come to invade the island.

But now, she no longer thinks that way.

Luffy said with some difficulty after hearing this.

"We are pirates!"

"As for why I came to your country, I can't explain it to you in just a few words. I'll tell you later!"

"Let's hurry and get to the scene to stop them!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, the Empress nodded and said no more.

After quickly getting dressed, she removed Luffy's powers and together they rushed to the battlefield.

...

A clearing in the forest outside the city.

The Straw Hat crew is engaged in a fierce battle with a large group of female warriors.

Despite the battle, none of the Straw Hat crew members actually killed anyone.

The attacks are mostly aimed at restricting the opponent's movements.

Sanji was unwilling to attack women and only focused on defense and dodging.

Even so, many of these soldiers lay on the ground, and most of them were panting and looking exhausted.

They were having a very hard time against the Straw Hat crew.

"We really have no intention of invading your country!"

"Stop attacking us! You are no match for us!"

Uta said casually as he crossed his hands with Lan.

Lan was filled with immense shock at that moment.
