Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

This kid in the straw hat is really strong.

A single clash between two powerful individuals is enough to reveal the strength of the opponent.

He was so powerful that he seemed out of place in this era.

The straw hat, in particular, reminded Satan of some unpleasant memories.

Eight hundred years ago, there was also a person who used similar power to cause enormous trouble for the world government.

Looking at the old man who appeared before him, Luffy grinned, "What do you care who I am?"

Satan's expression darkened. "Why attack the World Nobles?"

That's an interesting statement. It's all your doing first.

Do all the Celestial Dragons like to turn the tables on others?

In contrast, Luffy's gaze swept over Satan, "What's with your posture? Is it a Zoan-type ability awakening?"

After being attacked, that immortal power was exactly the same as the Divine Knights that appeared in Impel Down.

However, his recovery ability has increased significantly, and he recovers from his own attacks in an instant.

The spider legs on its body and the lower body are clearly characteristics of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. There are also black flame clouds, which Luffy is very familiar with; Nikka's Gear 5 is a white flame cloud.

Nika's Devil Fruit is a Mythical Zoan-type, what about his?

Satan's eyes turned cold.

Do you completely ignore what he said?

That's really one.

"You rude scoundrel!"

He raised his scepter and slammed it to the ground, producing a deep hum.

"If you're unwilling to answer, then go die."

The scepter slammed heavily to the ground.

Centered on Satan, black ripples spread in all directions.

A crimson glint flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? There are monsters like you? That's strange," Luffy said.

Conqueror's Haki is a kind of talent. Among all the powerful people Luffy has encountered since he set sail, this is the first time he has discovered that someone from the World Government actually possesses Conqueror's Haki.

Among pirates, the most people possess Conqueror's Haki. Among the Marines, only Garp, the grandfather, has been seen to possess it, and even the three Marine Admirals have not been found to have it.

As fellow users of Conqueror's Haki, striking first is tantamount to an invitation to battle.

Just like when Luffy first met the Giant King, he greeted him in the same way.

Therefore,

Luffy grinned, a crimson glint flashing deep in his eyes.

Conqueror's Haki erupted!

Two completely different shades of Conqueror's Haki immediately collided.

The Satan's side appears as a viscous, pitch-black substance, which then materializes into a solid black mist.

A black and red torrent appeared behind Luffy and collided with it.

At the point of impact between the two, the air became incredibly heavy. The naval soldiers who had not yet escaped felt a tightness in their chests, as if a massive boulder had crushed them. They collapsed to the ground before they could even scream.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and the clouds tumbled and scattered to both sides.

The otherwise clear sky was shrouded in dark clouds.

Before my eyes appeared an energy boundary where black and red intertwined with inky black, and electric snakes danced wildly.

"Your Conqueror's Haki is not weak. Are you an old monster who has been cultivating for many years? Why can I sense a decaying aura on you?"

Luffy said, "And there's this weird title, 'God of Scientific Defense,' does he do scientific research? Could it be that he's turned into this?"

Satan remained silent.

Why should he answer Luffy's questions when Luffy won't?

But he couldn't hold back the next second.

Luffy said, "And stop talking about supreme authority. Aren't there people above you?"

The word "science" immediately reminded Luffy of Franky.

Looking at Satan's bizarre half-human, half-spider form, a somewhat nonsensical thought suddenly popped into his head.

If we pack this guy up and take him back, we can give him to Franky to study.

Hmm, would you consider this a special gift?

However, Franky would probably find this guy too ugly, affecting his perverted... no, his artist's aesthetic sense.

His understanding of the Five Elders wasn't actually very deep. He had only been at sea for a year at most, and the only information he had about the Five Elders was from his conversation with Rayleigh and Shiki on Amazon Lily.

With a thought, fragments of information about the Five Elders naturally surfaced in my mind.

"Financial Martial God, Izambaron V. Nassshuro Sei;"

"Shepard X. Pitt Saint, the God of Agriculture and War."

"Legal Martial God, Topman Vochuli Saint;"

"Environmental War God, Marcus Maz Saint..."

As Luffy uttered these names, Satan's eyes grew darker with each name he said.

"With you, the God of Scientific Defense, Jaigolusia Satan Saint, we now have the Five Elders, right? The division of labor is quite clear."

Could these guys have existed since the World Government was established?

No, this seems to be just a code name.

They're all called martial gods, which means they're masters of physical combat, right?

Luffy's expression gradually became excited. "I haven't had a decent opponent since I met that giant. You have to make me happy."

"who are you?"

Satan's voice turned cold.

He narrowed his eyes. "And that hat. You know something about the World Government? I don't think you're just a simple pirate anymore."

Luffy has shown them too many things that make them wary.

That straw hat could ignore his Conqueror's Haki suppression, knew the exact names of the other Five Elders, and even mentioned Lord Im!

This guy is definitely not a strong person in the ordinary sense.

The Five Elders, as the highest symbols of power in the world government, are indeed well-known to the world.

But that was indeed just a code name.

This young man from the East China Sea not only knew their code names, but he could even recite their full names.

Most importantly, Lord Im...

That is a taboo known only to the Five Elders and the Knights of God!

Eight hundred years is enough to bury everything. Those who knew some of the inside story back then have long since turned to dust. What makes this kid in front of me know?

For beings like Satan, who have usurped power and looked down upon all living beings for eight hundred years, even the most dazzling individual is nothing more than a slightly larger ripple in the long river of time, and they care nothing for it.

Because of time.

How long can an average person live?

The common people in the member states quickly entered the killing line because of the heavenly gold.

Those who fail to reach the kill threshold go to sea to become pirates, live on the high seas for decades, and eventually grow old or are captured by the Navy.

No matter how influential a person is, it will fade away over time.

Given enough time, anything can happen.

Time is their greatest ally!

But this kid in the straw hat is different.

Not only is he ridiculously strong, but more importantly, he has touched a taboo and learned secrets that he should not have known.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved slowly over time.

If left unchecked, he could become the fulcrum that undermines that eight-hundred-year-old stable rule!

"So you know all this?" Luffy asked.

"That's not something you're qualified to pry into,"

Satan's voice was now filled with undisguised killing intent. "I had thought that if you knew what was good for you, with your talent you might be qualified to become a high-ranking combatant serving the Celestial Dragons, gaining freedom far exceeding that of pirates. But unfortunately, you know something you shouldn't know."

The freedom that the sea has given you is a gift and a sign of our mercy; it is relative.

Those who seek the truth of history must eradicate it completely to maintain world stability.

"Although I have many doubts about your origins, it doesn't matter."

Satan slowly raised his other hand, making a grasping motion. "Slaves in shackles will no longer be allowed to speak. Your Devil Fruit ability, and you yourself, will once again belong to Mary Geoise."

"Hahaha, you really know how to talk,"

Luffy covered his face and laughed, a thumping sound emanating from him, and the white flame cloud on his shoulder trembled as well.

He took a step forward, his laughter abruptly stopped, and then dense black and red lightning burst forth from his body, white flames began to cover his body.

"I've beaten more than one or two guys like you!" Luffy shouted.

"Insanity!"

A cold glint flashed in Satan's eyes.

Two eerie purplish-red lights suddenly shone from the depths of those indifferent pupils, like demonic eyes opening from the abyss.
