Meanwhile, on the shore of the port, Pakistani was jumping up and down in a panic.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me! I'm just a little late, what's going on with you guys?"
He was yelling at the Cross cadres around him, his blue hair almost standing on end.
Third Brother and Alvida searched the alley for the troublemakers, and only rushed back after hearing Bucky's roar.
"So why are you late? You're the one in charge of security." Third Brother said, panting heavily, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
Buggy's face flushed red instantly, as the thrilling memories of his encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates flooded back.
When Luffy grabbed his shoulder and pulled him down from mid-air, he almost thought he was going to die on the spot. Just thinking about it made his legs go weak.
"Hmph, I almost didn't make it back!"
Bucky couldn't help but shudder at the memory of what had just happened, but he immediately straightened his chest and maintained his captain's authority in front of his men. "But that's not the most important thing right now. We need to find that troublemaker the organizers mentioned, that mere supernova, as soon as possible."
Ok?
"Found you, Trafalgar Law!"
"Straw hat as the head of the household?"
At that moment, Luo happened to see the Sunny setting sail from the seashore.
Bucky suddenly flew over, but Law stretched out his hand, and a pale blue spherical light curtain suddenly exploded from the depths of the alley, instantly expanding to a diameter of tens of meters.
Room!
Luo vanished from the spot.
The next second, he appeared on the deck of the Sunny.
Upon seeing the familiar ship, Bucky shrank back.
"Bucky, aren't we going to chase after them?" Third Brother asked.
"You don't want to go? You want to die?" Bucky gritted his teeth.
We just barely escaped from the Straw Hat Pirates, are we going to be delivered to their doorstep again?
Although Lord Bucky is incredibly brave and wise, he's not stupid enough to walk right into the line of fire!
"So we're not going to fight for the treasure?"
Alvida asked, her spiked club slung over her shoulder, her tone seemingly indifferent.
"Whoever wants to go can go. Who can compete with that Straw Hat guy?" Bucky quickly shook his head and waved his hands.
The third brother was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke up: "What if?"
"Ok?"
"What if everyone starts fighting and both sides are injured, and you just happen to be passing by, happen to see the pointer, and happen to be unnoticed by anyone?"
Third Brother pushed up his glasses. "Aren't you always lucky?"
Bucky was stunned.
He himself is reluctant to admit that he was lucky, but the facts are undeniable.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem entirely impossible?
I'm starting to feel tempted.
On the Sunny, as soon as Luo Gang landed, he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.
Several beams of Observation Haki locked onto him at the same time, and the chilling feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast on the back of his neck shot up his spine.
I've arrived at the monster ship.
However, the next second, all the locks were removed.
"Oh, it's Traman. I thought he was an enemy."
Luffy jumped off the lion's head and landed on the deck, grinning as he patted Law on the shoulder, "I've definitely run into an old face here."
The pressure on his body suddenly eased, and Luo couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air, saying with a wry smile, "Who would dare to come to your ship alone? This is not the way to court death."
Then he noticed that everyone's expressions were a bit strange.
"There really is?" Luo was stunned for a moment.
"Well, they're not exactly enemies. Buggy came here before."
“That red-nosed guy was chasing me just now,” Luo said.
Law knew Buggy's strength; if they fought head-on, he was absolutely confident he could slice that red-nosed guy into a plate.
The problem is that the prisoners Bucky brought out of Impel Down are no pushovers either, and he's injured now, so a head-on confrontation wouldn't be worthwhile.
"Did he cause your injuries?"
Luffy noticed that Law was injured and wondered if Buggy had become that strong now.
If Law could be injured like this, it's a real shame he didn't spar with Bucky earlier.
Luo shook his head. "Bucky can't hurt me."
Keep in mind that his goal is to become one of the Four Emperors. If he can't even beat Buggy, he might as well disband the Heart Pirates.
Chapter 538 Hunting the Four Emperors?
Everyone was also very curious, after all, they knew Luo's strength, and anyone who could injure him was definitely not an ordinary person.
Luo remained silent for a few seconds, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
"They're two monsters."
He said slowly, "Douglas Barrett and Barrorick Redfield."
The people on deck were surprised to learn that Luo had already fought with those two.
Barolorik Redfield, the Lone Red—even Luffy made a point of looking into this name after Hancock mentioned it.
A legendary pirate from Roger's era, a monster who rose to the ranks of the top tier of power single-handedly, and was on par with Golden Lion and Whitebeard. He was a legendary prisoner who spent decades in the sixth level of Impel Down.
The surname Douglas Barrett may not be familiar, but you will know him if we mention another of his deeds: his name was also on the list of prisoners who escaped from the sixth level during the Impel Battle two years ago.
During the Impel Down War, Luffy didn't have the mind to pay attention to the escaped prisoners, but a few strong guys did manage to distract the Navy.
"A former member of the Roger Pirates, a man known as the Devil's Heir."
"It is said that during Roger's time with the Pirates, his strength was already comparable to Rayleigh's. After Roger's death, he went mad because he lost his goal, and it took the Marine Headquarters to send out Buster Call-level forces to imprison him in Impel Down."
"Both of them escaped from Level 6 of Impel Down?" Sanji frowned.
During the Impel Down War, Blackbeard recruited five prisoners on Level 6. The Straw Hat crew, along with Ace, Jinbe, and others, fought their way out of the encirclement. In the chaos, countless monsters who had been imprisoned for decades took the opportunity to escape.
Blackbeard recruited combatants who could be used by him, while most of the prisoners who were not recruited or refused to be recruited escaped in the chaos.
"So what's really going on behind the scenes of this celebration?" Vivi asked thoughtfully.
A former member of the Roger Pirates, a legendary pirate, and that so-called permanent Log Pose leading to Laugh Tale—these things combined don't seem like a simple pirate gathering at all.
Just as Luo was about to answer, a huge roar suddenly rang out not far away, drawing everyone's attention.
"what happened?"
Has the celebration ended?
"Do not."
Nami stared at the recording pointer in her hand. The tip of the pointer was swinging violently, completely losing its direction. She was all too familiar with this phenomenon. "The direction of the ocean current has changed. Something we know is coming."
Everyone looked up at the sea.
On the ring of sea surrounding the central mountain peak, the seawater began to rotate at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, it was just small ripples, then it turned into whirlpools, and then a ring of water rose up from the ground, swallowing nearly a hundred pirate ships in the vicinity.
The whirlpool spun faster and faster, as if the seawater was being stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a bottomless sea eye.
"I'm so dizzy..."
Usopp peered down from the ship's railing and nearly threw up all the roasted meat he'd eaten that morning.
The eye of the sea was so deep that you couldn't see the bottom at all; there was only darkness, pure darkness, like an entrance to another world.
"Everyone, remember that treasure hunt hint from earlier!"
The host's voice came through the speakerphone Den Den Mushi, filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Our answers lie buried in the deepest darkness!"
Soon, a towering torrent of water burst forth from the very center of the whirlpool, the enormous column of water shooting straight into the sky, the roar causing the metal parts on the ship's side to hum.
The water column contained countless pirate ships that had been swept up, and screams of pirates echoed from the decks as many were thrown out.
Then, an island enveloped in giant bubbles rose from the seabed into the sky, propelled by the ocean currents.
The entire island is enveloped in a transparent bubble, refracting rainbow colors under the sunlight, like a gem that has been thrown into the air by a great force.
On the island, one can vaguely see jagged rocks, dense jungle, and at the highest point of the mountain, a dilapidated shipwreck lies quietly aground.
Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "We can see it here too! The towering ocean current that we saw on our way to Skypiea!"
Zoro grinned. "This is getting interesting."
"So the stuff is right there? Then we won't stand on ceremony, brothers, let's go!"
The rules of the game are simple: whoever reaches the treasure first gets it.
Luffy can't wait any longer.
No one can stop him!
"Merry, let's charge!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Merry raised his hands high and shouted excitedly. The hull of the Sunny shuddered slightly, and the paddle wheels on both sides spun even faster. The entire ship shot off like an arrow towards the surging ocean current.
"Wait for Merry, Luffy, at least wait for us!"
