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

Many people verbally claim they want to stop them, but very few actually dare to take action.

Just kidding, that's a 5 billion Berry bounty criminal, a monster who beat up Kaido, Big Mom, and Blackbeard one by one.

One punch from them and they might not even leave a complete corpse behind.

But there are still those who are not afraid of death.

A giant wearing an iron helmet leaped out from the tree canopy on the side, his fist covered in a thick layer of Armament Haki. His dark, shiny fist slammed towards Luffy's temple with immense force.

Luffy didn't even look, casually waving his left hand, his rubber arm lashing out like a whip, striking the giant squarely in the chest.

The giant flew backward at an even faster speed than when he lunged out, crashing through three large trees before coming to a stop. Half of his body was embedded in the tree trunks, and he had already passed out with his eyes rolled back.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a great pirate with a bounty of 200 million Berries!"

Someone yelled.

Luffy's speed did not decrease at all.

"Just kidding, Straw Hat, stop right there."

Kidd was the next to charge.

The mechanical arm slammed down from the side. Although Kidd had been crippled by Kaido once, his strength was undeniable, and he had indeed made great progress compared to two years ago.

"Straw hat! Don't even think about keeping it all to yourself!"

Luffy didn't dodge. He clenched his right fist, and Armament Haki condensed into a flowing dark light film on the surface of his fist. Then he slammed it head-on into Kid's mechanical fist.

Boom!

A visible shockwave erupted from the point where their fists collided, knocking all the pirates within a radius of several meters to the ground.

Kidd's mechanical arm creaked under the strain, and fine cracks appeared at the metal joints. He was knocked back more than ten steps by the punch before he could barely regain his balance, and two deep trenches were dragged into the ground beneath his feet.

"Damn it, is the difference really that big?"

Kidd gritted his teeth, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

His mechanical arm was badly damaged in the collision, with several key joints deformed. But what annoyed him even more was that Luffy didn't even turn his head after the attack, using the reaction force of the collision to accelerate forward.

Just as Kidd was about to make a move,

I advise you not to pursue her.

Hawkins stood on a large rock to the side, his divination cards having been shuffled again, and then he drew one from them.

The front of the card depicts a tower shattered by lightning. "The tower is upside down; if you chase after it, you will be the ones who die."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Kidd roared.

"I'm not teaching you how to do things, I'm just stating the facts."

Hawkins turned over the next card. "And I'm more concerned about another issue. Besides the Straw Hat King, there are two Queens here. What's going on?"

His voice trailed off.

Because Luffy had already rushed to the bottom of that rock.

"The treasure hunt has entered its final stage. Is the treasure going to fall into the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates without any suspense?!"

The host's voice echoed throughout the island through the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi, carrying a deliberately exaggerated excitement.

This is to let the pirates keep charging!

Otherwise, is this grand show about to end before it has even begun?

I didn't get to enjoy myself at all.

The pirates cursed loudly.

Nonsense, that's a monster worth five billion!

If you want to have your fun, you'll kill us.

Luffy ignored the noise and kept his eyes fixed on the small wooden box on top of the rock.

The distance was less than two hundred meters, a distance that would be nothing more than a blink of an eye for him.

Is that what he wanted in that box?

The Log Pose for Laugh Tale, the final destination, shouldn't exist; there shouldn't be any shortcuts like that.

However, just as he was about to launch himself again, a strange sonic vibration suddenly rang out in the air.

The sound was initially very soft, like someone tapping a metal pipe in the distance, but it quickly became sharp and piercing, making one's eardrums throb.

The air itself seemed to transform into some kind of musical instrument, producing distorted vibrato as it was plucked by unseen fingers, pressing in wave after wave toward Luffy.

It's Apu.

One of the Supernovas two years ago, now a subordinate of Kaido.

Skulachman Ap stood on a raised rock slab thirty meters to the side, his arms transformed into a row of pipes of varying lengths, frantically pounding his chest.

Each strike was accompanied by a visible ripple in the air, which exploded in mid-air, turning into a series of explosive sounds that struck the internal organs.

"Ottatatatatata! Straw Hat! Take this!"

Apoo pounded on himself while shouting at the top of his lungs, and at the same time, the air flew towards Luffy like a sonic boom, "Oh, you're really annoying me, but we're taking the treasure chest, check it out and keep it safe."

Luffy didn't even turn around during the rap performance.

The sonic booms stopped half a meter away from his body, as if they had hit an invisible wall and exploded. A thin white energy membrane naturally emerged from his body.

"You want to take this from me too?"

After the explosion,

Luffy then turned his head, revealing one eye under his hat brim as he looked at Apoo.

Ap's chest-pounding motion froze instantly.

A terrifying aura, like that of a demon, appeared behind Luffy. Apoo's fingers were still in the position of striking down, as if he was recalling the time when the trio of allies encountered Kaido.

At first, I didn't feel it; I didn't sense any pressure from Luffy. But once he got serious, the pressure he exuded was even stronger than Kaido's.

Ap even recalled the scene when this man punched him and sent him flying in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Then I realized a problem.

Why did I think I could fight just now?

why?

Is it because Kaido is backing him up?

Or is it because they think that having so many supernovas together might give them a slight advantage?

No, it was just a moment of impulse.

"Oh no, no, no, please do as you please!"

Ap raised both hands high, palms facing outwards, as if in surrender or making a gesture of invitation. He took three steps back, a smile more like a grimace on his face. "I didn't do anything, I just provided some background music to liven things up! You know what livening things up is, right? How can such a big event be without some background music!"

So cowardly!

The surrounding pirates fell silent for two seconds, then burst into a hushed discussion.

"How embarrassing! Is this guy really a supernova?"

"That's five billion Berries! I'd chicken out too."

"What a coward! At least they dared to make a move, but you don't even have the courage to step forward."

"So I'm still alive! Look at what happened to those who had more courage?"

Kidd's fate was indeed not good.

At this moment, Eustass Kid was getting back up from where he had been knocked back by Luffy. The blood on the corner of his mouth hadn't been wiped clean when he saw Apoo surrendering with his hands on his hands.

The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was trembling with anger.

"Apu, you piece of trash!"

Kidd's roar made the surrounding pirates take a step back. "You're supposed to be recruited by Kaido just like me, and you're already chickening out? What a disgrace! Don't tell me you're on my side now!"

Apu shrugged at him, making a helpless expression.

He's not stupid.

It's not like I haven't experienced what it's like to fight monsters of the Four Emperors level.

He still has nightmares about the scene when Kaido taught those Supernovas a lesson.

They hit them one by one, like whack-a-mole, leaving them no chance to fight back.

What level is Straw Hat Luffy?

It's at a level that can drive Kaido away.

What can he use to fight a monster of this level?

Are you going to use your head to fight?

Kidd clearly doesn't intend to be as cowardly as Ap.

He stretched out his hand, and all the surrounding weapons were attracted to him, gathering in his hand to form a huge gun. Dark red energy accumulated in the muzzle, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

Electromagnetic gun.

Kidd's strongest trump card is an advanced kinetic energy weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Unlike traditional cannons that use the pressure of gunpowder gas to act on the projectile, the electromagnetic gun uses the Ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal projectile to achieve the kinetic energy required to hit the target.

He was confident that he could harm the Four Emperors.

"Straw Hat! That punch isn't over yet!"

Kidd swung his mechanical arm, the energy in the cannon already at its limit. The dark red light made the scar on his face look even more ferocious. "I'm not like that guy Apoo..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sword aura swept in from the side.

The sword energy, carrying a deep black light, sliced ​​through the air and roared towards us.

A huge gash was torn open in the ground.

The sword energy was extremely fast, but the angle was just right. If Kidd had stood still, the sword would have precisely grazed the edge of his neck and taken away a piece of flesh.
