Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Luo seized the opportunity, a cold glint in his eyes. He raised his knife high and shouted, "Now! Room!"

Then, he slashed at Vergo with his knife.

This strike contained all of Luo's power; its speed and power were so great that Vergo had no time to dodge.

"puff!"

Vergo's body, which was covered in Armament Haki, was actually cut in half by Law's sword.

Then Luo continued to use the slaughterhouse technique, cutting Vergo into several pieces.

It turns out that Law learned the method of cultivating his cosmos when he sparred with Luffy two years ago.

I just tried to combine my Devil Fruit power with my Cosmo, as Luffy suggested.

Unexpectedly, it actually broke through the domineering protection.

Vergo's eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe he had been defeated by Luo.

After cutting down Vergo, Luo did not stop.

He rushed to the SAD manufacturing room and destroyed SAD to pieces.

The Straw Hat Pirates quickened their pace in their escape.

However, Caesar, who was pretending to be dead, managed to escape through the ventilation shaft while Luffy wasn't paying attention.

As he fled, he said viciously, "Luffy, you just wait, I'll make you pay!"

Yes, Caesar is preparing to manipulate the salamander slime for a mutual destruction.

But they discovered they had lost contact with the salamander slime.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered a newt slime frozen solid and found an exhausted Fanny.

It turns out that Fanny had already used up a lot of his inner strength in order to cultivate and create the Royal Rose, which could absorb all the gas in the laboratory.

Then, he used the forgiveness of the Dawn Goddess to freeze the greatest crisis, the salamander slime.

Fearing that things might get complicated, Usopp shot the salamander slime to pieces with an arrow.

"Fanny, are you alright?"

Robin asked with concern.

Fanny waved his hand weakly and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired..."

As she spoke, she buried her face in Robin's arms.

There was no time to think further, and the group led the children they had rescued to Building R.

Meanwhile, unaware that Luffy had broken through the wall, he finally caught Caesar, who was fleeing in all directions.

He slammed Caesar to the ground and then unleashed a barrage of punches imbued with Armament Haki.

"Caesar, you bastard, keep running!"

Luffy cursed as he fought.

Inside Building R, which is on the verge of collapse, Luffy waits for his crew to reunite.

At this moment, Caesar, who had just recovered from the blow Luffy had dealt, realized that he still held Smoker's heart in his hands.

A sinister smile crept across his face as he thought, "Even if I die, I'll drag Smoker down with me!"

Caesar believed the heart in his hand belonged to Smoker, so he held the heart, preparing to kill Smoker.

However, he never expected that it was Monet's heart.

Just as Caesar was about to make his move, Luffy was enveloped in a blinding flash of light.

It turns out that Monet activated the elemental transformation ability of her Devil Fruit at the last moment.

Her head narrowly escaped Caesar's fatal blow, but she was seriously injured in the process.

Just as Monet, who had survived, was about to press the button to destroy the entire base, he died because Caesar mistakenly identified the heart's owner.

Meanwhile, Usopp, who was searching for Luffy, unexpectedly found two Devil Fruits in a fruit basket.

Everyone finally escaped.

Caesar was also chained with seastone chains and stuffed into a glass bottle.

At Fanny's suggestion, everyone left all the Royal Roses, which had accumulated an unknown amount of gas, at the research institute.

Then, just as they were returning to the port, a bolt of lightning struck, and the entire Punk Hazard exploded.

Yes, Nami did it.

As for the pirate soldiers hired on the island, they're just accomplices anyway, so they can only pray for themselves.

……

Chapter 127 Doflamingo's Attack, Law's Threat!

The chaotic situation on Punk Hazard Island has not yet completely subsided, while Doflamingo, far away, is filled with anxiety.

The little trinkets he had been playing with were now casually tossed aside.

Because he sensed something was amiss on Punk Hazard Island.

The research on the island was not just a simple experiment; it involved a major deal with one of the Four Emperors.

It also contains some shady dealings with the World Government that can't be brought to light.

What's worse, Caesar was a complete psychopath.

And he's even less stable than him.

God knows what nonsense he'll spout to others after he's caught.

"damn it!"

Doflamingo cursed through gritted teeth.

"That Caesar is more trouble than he's worth, he mustn't mess things up!"

Without saying a word, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed towards Punk Hazard Island as if his backside was on fire.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't handle this situation well, he would be in big trouble.

While Doflamingo was still on his way, his trusted lieutenants Baby-5 and Buffalo arrived at Punk Hazard Island ahead of him.

Once the two men arrived on the island, they scurried around like headless flies, searching everywhere for Caesar's whereabouts.

Soon, they encountered Franky, who was in charge of guarding Caesar.

Franky stood there listlessly, humming a little tune and occasionally fiddling with the cool mechanical parts on his body.

When he saw Baby-5 and Buffalo appear, a look of vigilance immediately appeared on his face.

"Hey, aren't these Doflamingo's two lackeys? What are you doing here?"

Franky crossed his arms and said with a disdainful look.

Yes, Law immediately shared all the information about Doflamingo's family with the Straw Hat crew.

Upon hearing this, Baby-5 flew into a rage, put her hands on her hips, and shouted loudly.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over Caesar! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

Buffalo chimed in, "Exactly! Don't be stubborn!"

Upon hearing this, Franky couldn't help but burst into laughter. He laughed so hard he almost cried.

"Hahaha, the two of you? You think you can take Caesar from me? Are you dreaming?"

Franky said with a laugh.

"I, General Franky, am not someone to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, he put his arms together and made a very classic, flamboyant move.

This really infuriated Baby-5 and Buffalo.

The two men exchanged a glance and charged at Franky simultaneously.

General Franky, who had been holding back all day, finally erupted like a volcano that had been accumulating energy for a long time.

"Behold my triple attack!"

Franky yelled, and his body instantly transformed.

Those already cool mechanical parts now shone even brighter.

Three powerful energy beams flew toward Baby-5 and Buffalo.

Before Baby-5 and Buffalo could react, they were stunned by the sudden attack.

They were like two kites with broken strings, tumbling and rolling in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Oh my god!"

Baby - 5 was wincing in pain, crying out incessantly.

Buffalo wasn't much better off; he struggled to get up but found himself sore all over and unable to muster any strength.

"This... Franky is too amazing!"

Buffalo said with a look of horror.

And just like that, before they could even really show their strength, they were taken prisoner.

Franky's beam of light contained the power of the ocean.

It was specially prepared for users of this type of Devil Fruit ability.

On the other side, Nami, who originally intended to keep her promise and take the children home, is now lost in thought.

Looking at the children's innocent smiles, she felt a deep sense of reluctance.

However, when Nami saw Tashigi's sincere expression and listened to Tashigi explain how the Navy would take good care of these children, her heart began to waver.

After all, they were about to face Doflamingo, a man who was ruthless and cunning.

If you bring children along, it's easy to get distracted.

"Okay, Tashigi, I believe you."
