Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

She launched a fierce attack on Nami, but all her attacks missed.

The purpose was simply to force Absalom away.

It turns out that Lola considered Nami a friend and was pretending to attack Nami in order to save her.

However, Absalom felt that Lola was trying to ruin his wedding.

This made him feel that she was in his way, so he hit Lola hard.

And just like that, Lola was knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, Nami stopped acting, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

In an instant, his inner universe erupted, and the powerful force shattered the Seastone bracelet.

"God of Hunts? Ten Billion Volts!"

A dazzling bolt of electricity struck Absalom, instantly turning him into charred remains.

……

In order to defeat the special zombie that was placed in Luffy's shadow, everyone launched various attacks at Luffy's monster, Oars.

Unfortunately, it didn't cause much damage.

Franky wanted to show Oars what the Straw Hat Pirates were capable of when united.

He decided to use his 15th strategy, employing the "six-pirate fusion" attack.

"Listen up, everyone! If we use the 'Six Pirates Combined' together, we'll definitely defeat Oars!"

"Frankie shouted excitedly."

However, no one was willing to participate in such a shameful act.

Everyone shook their heads, their faces showing disgust.

"Frankie, your idea is so shameful! I'm not participating!"

Usopp said with a look of disgust.

"Exactly! This kind of thing is so embarrassing!"

Sanji echoed this.

Franky looked at everyone's reactions and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, it seems this plan won't work."

……

Chapter 72: Franky's failed fusion, Luffy unexpectedly gains the power of Omega.

On the battlefield of the Terror's Trident, smoke filled the air, and the atmosphere of battle grew increasingly intense.

Because his "Strategy No. 15" move against Oz was rejected by everyone, he ended up failing.

Franky was not discouraged by this; his eyes shone with an indomitable light, and he remained determined to master the fusion technique.

For Franky, the immense power gained from the fusion is the key to defeating Oars.

A real man must experience the thrill of teamwork.

So, Franky excitedly dragged Chopper and Usopp along, preparing to attempt a fusion of Pirate Fusion 3 and Machine Warriors.

This is no simple attempt.

Instead, it was a new technology developed by Franky after much thought and repeated refinement, based on the technical data of the Steel Saint provided by Fanny.

"Chopper, Usopp, believe me, we'll succeed this time! Once we fuse, our power will increase dramatically, and Oars will be no match for us!"

Franky patted his chest and said confidently.

Chopper and Usopp exchanged a glance, their eyes shining with anticipation despite their nervousness.

Following Franky's instructions, they took their positions and began the fusion operation.

With a flash of light, the three manipulated their respective devices, gradually merging together to form a giant mechanical warrior.

"Success!"

Franky shouted excitedly, manipulating the robot's arm and swinging it a few times, feeling the powerful force.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow.

Oz also delivered a heavy blow to them.

Although the machine warriors possessed great strength, they seemed somewhat powerless in front of Oz.

Moreover, due to substandard materials, the robot warriors gradually developed various problems during combat.

Their movements became increasingly sluggish, and their attack power was greatly reduced.

"Damn it, how is Oz so powerful!"

Franky shouted angrily as he desperately tried to control the machine warrior to fend off Oz's attack.

But in the end, the machine warrior was destroyed by Oz's fierce attack.

Franky, Chopper, and Usopp were thrown off with a thud.

The attempt to combine them ultimately failed, and the three lay on the ground, their faces filled with frustration and resentment.

Meanwhile, Nami wasn't idle either.

She targeted the Shadow Squirrel Brothers, giving them a course of electric shocks in order to find out the whereabouts of the treasure.

The Shadow Squirrel brothers couldn't withstand Nami's electric shocks and quickly confessed.

It turns out that the treasure has now been moved by Perona to the Thousand Sunny.

"What? Someone actually moved all the treasure onto the Thousand Sunny! I absolutely cannot let her succeed!"

Upon hearing about the treasure, Nami immediately gritted her teeth in anger and decided to go and stop it.

When Nami rushed to the Thousand Sunny, she witnessed a scene that shocked her.

Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was surprisingly present, sitting quietly reading a book.

Meanwhile, Perona was chatting happily with Fanny, with piles of treasures lying around them.

When Fanny saw Nami, he acted like a child caught doing something wrong, immediately throwing Perona aside from his arms.

Kuma stretched out a hand and used his Devil Fruit ability to gently place Perona, who had flown over, on the ground.

"Fanny, what are you doing!"

Nami shouted angrily.

Fanny gave an awkward laugh and scratched his head.

"Hehe, Nami, it's not what you think, let me explain..."

"Explain your damn thing! Lightning Punishment!"

"what!"

Big Bear ignored their argument and began to explain without any expression on his face.

"I'm here to deliver a message."

"The one who replaced Crocodile as the successor to the Seven Warlords of the Sea is Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach."

"The World Government was worried that Moria would be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, so they sent me to help."

"I just said it out loud!!!"

……

Moriah had planted a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) in his treasure, and upon hearing this news, he was furious.

He felt this was a sign of distrust from the world government and an insult to him.

He was so angry that he was trembling all over.

"How could I, Moria, be defeated by these brats! I don't need your help!"

To prove his strength, Moria decides to take a desperate gamble.

He no longer concealed himself, transforming into a shadow and angrily entering the cockpit inside Oz's stomach.

That is, Oz's belly.

It combined with Oz's power and became Oz's brain.

Moria's addition made Oars even stronger, and his eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

"Hang in there, everyone! I've brought the salt!"

Just when everyone was worried about Oz's change, what was even more unexpected was that Brook came running over with a large amount of salt!

It turns out that Brook knew that salt was the key to purifying zombies, and he traveled far and wide to collect so much salt.

It was all to find Moria and purify Oz.

Luffy, rushing to find Moria, encounters Lola, the captain of the Rolling Pirates, and the real-life squirrel-ki brothers in the forest.

They were all victims whose shadows were taken by Moria, leaving them only able to wander in the forest.

Seeing Luffy, they seemed to see hope and told him everything they knew.

"Luffy, as long as you put the shadow into your body, the shadow's fighting power can become your strength."

Then Lola said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes lit up; he realized this might be the key to defeating Oars.

With the help of Lola and the squirrel brothers, Luffy implanted one hundred shadows into his body.

Unexpectedly, Luffy was also able to use the power of the cosmos of those hundred shadows.

Although the power was weak, the combination of these seemingly random elements miraculously created a new and powerful force.

Unfortunately, it only lasted for ten minutes.

Just as the Straw Hat crew was locked in a fierce battle with Oars, suddenly, Oars's hand could also extend like Luffy's.

This change surprised everyone; they hadn't expected Oz to possess such an ability.
