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

Wild Shepherd's voice came from the sea of ​​trees, filled with undisguised mockery, "Stop daydreaming. Who do you think you're dealing with?"

hum!

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive black and red aura rushed towards him. This aura was almost tangible, carrying a destructive force. Wherever it passed, the forest that Huang Mu was so proud of instantly crumbled.

Like Shanks, Conqueror's Haki can cause substantial damage.

"Damn it, guys with this kind of talent are always a nuisance." Huang Mu said with envy.

The thick trunks were snapped in half, and the lush branches and leaves turned to dust. The trees that had just been growing wildly were now withering away in large swaths, as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

The "immortality" effect is just a power.

Conqueror's Haki is specifically designed to counter so-called immortality, preventing users from using their abilities.

"So you're the one who replaced Kuzan? You're still quite a bit behind him."

Luffy stared at Aramu.

Just as Huang Mu was about to say something, the black and red aura rushed in front of him, making his robes flutter and his dark green curly hair fly wildly.

He instinctively took a step back, and the surviving trees behind him also became bare under this oppressive force, their leaves falling off and leaving only bare branches.

"Damn it, who can be worse than that ice block?" Huang Mu gritted his teeth.

That's what she said, but she still looked at Luffy with great apprehension.

Has this guy's Conqueror's Haki really gotten this strong?

Luffy curled his lip, "So this is what an admiral is like."

He's now capable of saying things like that.

Having fought against increasingly powerful top fighters, Aramaki put the least pressure on him. Even now, facing an admiral and the Five Elders who are about to land in the distance, Luffy still feels no pressure.

"They're just mere pirates, yet they're so arrogant."

"If we face them, won't we just have to run away from them?" Huang Mu said coldly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He pointed to the Straw Hat crew in the distance, who were evacuating the crowd. Nami and Vivi were using their abilities to send civilians onto the ship, while Chopper and Usopp were helping to maintain order. The entire Straw Hat Pirates were evacuating in an orderly manner.

"Stop joking, Navy!"

Luffy said coldly, his voice filled with undisguised sarcasm, "Pirates are saving civilians, but the Navy is preparing to kill them. Is this the justice you call yourselves?"

The black lightning behind him formed a huge pillar of light, which struck directly at Huang Mu.

Rumble!

Black and red lightning descended from the sky like mad snakes, blasting the newly regenerated forest of trees into pieces once again. The lush trees appeared even more bare under the impact of the Overlord's Aura, and Huang Mu's expression grew increasingly grim.

He glanced down at the ground and inwardly groaned. Sure enough, his abilities were greatly suppressed in the face of Conqueror's Haki.

The trees that were forced to grow would instantly lose their vitality upon contact with that dark red pressure, rendering them unable to exert their due fighting power.

Just as the two were facing off, a strange pentagram suddenly lit up on the sea surface on one side of the island.

The light was a dark purple, which stood out starkly against the hazy mist.

On each of the five points of the pentagram, a black flame flickers, and at the connection between the points, there is a number '5'.

At the center of the star array, space began to distort and deform, and then a huge figure slowly emerged from it.

"Wow, what a terrifying guy."

On the island, Perona, who was directing the ghost to sway and drift past the navy's body, sensed this aura and couldn't help but hug the doll she was wearing tightly.

She saw a magic circle appear in the distance.

Perona, who has done extensive research in this area, originally thought these were just things in her imagination, but today she actually saw them!

What will come out of it?

Whatever it is... it's absolutely terrifying!

Da da da.

Spider-like limbs emerged first, followed by a man in a black suit and top hat, holding a huge cane, with a scar on his face that extended into his body.

Black flames continued to spread around them, and the majesty of the highest authority of the world government was spreading.

One of the Five Elders.

Scientific Defense Attaché, Jaygolucia Satan!

He stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze piercing through the thick sea fog and landing on Eregia Island.

Then, he gently raised his cane and paused on the deck.

thump.

A soft sound.

The next second, strange ripples suddenly appeared on the sea beneath his feet.

Space began to distort, and then his figure disappeared.

"come yet?"

Luffy looked up at the suddenly distorted sky and thought, "They really never get tired of it, always making such a fuss."

There, a figure was slowly coalescing, with black and red lightning leaping around him, subtly echoing the Conqueror's Haki on Luffy's body.

As soon as Satan Saint's true form appeared, the surrounding naval soldiers all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

But there were a few unlucky guys who, after just a glimpse from afar, suddenly froze, and then their bodies began to disintegrate from the edges, turning into grayish-white powder that drifted away in the wind.

"Don't look! Don't look at any of you!"

An officer roared, "Non-general level officers are not allowed to look directly at Satan! That's an order!"

The sailors hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.

Satan's fierce gaze is just right for punishing those who have shown him great disrespect.

This is a power capable of instantly obliterating someone.

The death of the ants had no effect on Satan; his dark eyes were fixed on the figure wearing a straw hat not far away.

Luffy was looking at him too.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

A fierce look is useless?

Moreover, Satan felt an inexplicable pressure rushing to his head.

pat!

Satan's head split open in half, and then black gas rapidly rose around him to restore it.

"what?!"

Huang Mu watched in stunned silence.

The Five Elders are injured?

The wound is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but for a moment just now, it was indeed an injury.

"You rude scoundrel, Monkey D. Luffy, do you know who I am?"

Satan's eyes flashed red repeatedly. "I am one of the highest powers in the World Government."

The authority of those in power cannot be faked. Luffy has already seen far more hellish scenes, but this is just one of the Five Elders. A glint of crimson light flashed in his eyes, and a torrent of Conqueror's Haki swept over him.

"Conqueror's Haki? People with your aptitude are just born trouble."

Satan said calmly.

He too unleashed a Conqueror's Haki, though a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

This kid is looking at me so strangely, like we've met before, as if we're very familiar with each other.

They should have been meeting for the first time.

Although Satan is now quite familiar with Luffy, after all, as the awakened user of the Nika Fruit, the Straw Hat Luffy is now the pirate that the Five Elders are most concerned about.

They have detailed records of all kinds of first-hand information about Luffy, from his early days at sea, through the Impel Down war to Dressrosa, from his battle with Kaido to his duel with Whitebeard.

But this was indeed the first time I had met Luffy in person.

But why does this feeling of being watched feel so strange?

Moreover, this guy seemed quite familiar with the power within him.

Of course, Luffy wouldn't mention that he went back in time and fought against Satan or even the Five Elders.

The scar on Satan's body that runs from his chest to his abdomen was one he had left himself, but he figured Satan would remember it when the fight started.

Satan Saint said calmly, "Monkey D. Luffy, I have always been selective about powerful pirates, and you are now qualified. Let's talk about the terms."

Satan came here for a reason; anyone can be recruited, even Nika.

The straw hats that have already become a force to be reckoned with are quite troublesome to deal with, but the Five Elders have enough resources.

They have experience dealing with this kind of trouble.

As long as the fundamental rule of the World Government is not shaken, it is not unreasonable to let these pirates stir up trouble on the sea.

They will eventually die.

They don't care about One Piece or King of the World; the winner is the one who survives to the end.

"If you hand Uta over to the World Government, we might consider giving you a chance."

As soon as the first condition was stated, Luffy glared at him.

Those eyes were almost tangible, filled with terrifying Conqueror's Haki, and they clashed fiercely with Satan Saint's menacing gaze.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted in the air.

The black and red lightning and the dark purple light collided violently, and the surrounding ruins crumbled under the impact, cracks appearing on the ground.

A small hole suddenly burst open in Satan Saint's chest, as if something had pierced through it.

Luffy withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "You really dare to say that, you guys from the World Government."
