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

"These are all ours!"

Nami stood atop a pile of treasure chests, hands on her hips.

Behind her was a mountain of treasure, chests of all sizes and shapes piled up to the height of a three-story building.

The Straw Hat Pirates have already taken over this place.

The treasure left behind by Roger's pirate crew is quite substantial. Although we saw a lot of money in the Golden City, there's still a lot here!

Gold is everywhere.

But the pirates don't care about any of that.

In their eyes, those gleaming treasure chests are the most tempting things in the world. What do you mean by Four Emperors? They'll just grab one and run. How can you catch them?

The Log Pose that would have led to Laugh Tale was destroyed by the Straw Hat Pirates, so the only way to get it back is here.

A man suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed a large amount of gold coins, and tried to run away, but before he could even get his footing, a bullet with a paralyzing effect was accurately embedded in his chest.

The pirate's eyes began to dart around uncontrollably.

"Well done, Usopp!"

Nami praised.

"Hehehe, I am the brave sea warrior, the great Usopp!"

Usopp stood on a high point on the aft deck, his slingshot already reloaded with three more bullets.

Visibly, each shot shimmered with a different color of light.

The power of negative consequences begins to manifest.

Burning, poisoning, paralysis, weakness, and confusion – five negative effects that randomly combine, rendering the target useless if hit by any one of them.

Now it's time to start showing the numbers.

"Taste my new power, you lot!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than three more pirates scrambled onto the deck from the side.

Usopp fired three shots from his slingshot, hitting all three pirates simultaneously.

The first pirate was engulfed in eerie blue flames.

The second one's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, trembling.

The third one rolled his eyes back and foamed at the mouth, then fainted.

A group of pirates started crying and wailing.

How could there be such a despicable person? And that person even possesses such despicable abilities!

"Not bad, that's an ability."

Perona floated in mid-air, watching the chaos below.

Usopp's ability to control the situation is almost as good as hers!

When it comes to group control, Perona is quite confident.

Looking down, she saw a second wave of pirates rushing towards her, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"I'm also a member of the Straw Hat crew. You just rush over here without taking me seriously, huh? Well then, I'll let you have some peace and quiet."

Dozens of translucent, negative ghosts emerged from her body, trailing long tails as they drifted toward the pirate horde below.

Those pirates were charging forward with bloodshot eyes, having long forgotten about the Four Emperors; their minds were filled with the get-rich-quick dream of looting and running away.

Then the negative spirits passed through their bodies.

The burly man at the front immediately knelt down on both knees, lay face down on the deck, and began to repent with a sob in his voice: "I'm sorry, scum like me doesn't deserve to live."

"Why would I come here to steal things? I can't even remember my own mother's birthday."

"I'm such a failure as a pirate, I might as well go back to farming."

In the blink of an eye, all the pirates within a radius of several dozen meters knelt on the ground, each one dejectedly beginning to reflect on their actions.

"Wow, impressive."

Usopp couldn't help but shout, and while the negative effects were still ongoing, he fired seven or eight paralysis bullets in quick succession from his slingshot, clearing all the pirates kneeling on the ground from the battlefield.

When facing numerous enemies, the Straw Hat Pirates fully demonstrated their strength, proving that no matter how many came, it was all in vain.

Robin strolled leisurely, looking for any historical records among the treasures on the pirate ship, when a pirate tried to ambush her but had his neck snapped by the Flower-Flower Fruit's hand.

"Oh my, it seems I've found something good."

Robin found a nautical logbook, which seemed to be quite old.

In the areas with the most intense artillery fire, the outcome of the battle was equally predictable.

Franky's mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex form rampaged across the battlefield. His mechanical body, several meters tall, completely ignored the pirates' cannon fire. The shells exploded into sparks when they hit him, but they couldn't even penetrate the metal armor on his body.

"A mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex! That's so cool!"

Franky swept away the Navy soldiers blocking his way with his tail while striking a super iconic pose.

A mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, over ten meters tall, struck a "Super" pose, arms raised, tail tilted to the side, shouting "Super!"

There's an indescribable sense of unease.

"Is that Franky, the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"When did he become an ability user?"

"Are you sure he's from the Straw Hat Pirates and not a member of the Beasts Pirates?"

The pirates looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one can answer this question.

This same problem also troubled several supernovas standing on their respective pirate ships in the distance.

The Supernovas, formerly under Kaido's Beasts Pirates, now sent to steal the Log Pose, looked at the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex rampaging across the battlefield with rather subtle expressions.

Apoo scratched his long chin. "Dragons and machines, shouldn't that be standard equipment for Kaido's Beasts Pirates' top member?"

What is the relationship between those two people?

"Hmph, what does it have to do with us?"

Kidd had a cold expression on his face.

He didn't want to get involved in the discussion about the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex. His gaze was fixed on Luffy and Bullet on the mountaintop, and his expression hadn't improved since Luffy shattered the Log Pose.

"Madman," he cursed again.

"Still fighting, Metal Tyrannosaurus!"

Franky was running amok and having a blast.

The Straw Hat Pirates aren't worried about the Marines at all. Kuzan is so reassuring, and Nika and Totemjika have already gone over there. Those two guys are incredibly strong.

The battle on the mountaintop continues.

On Luffy and Bullet's side.

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, Barrett had been knocked back countless times. His pride and joy in physical skills and combat awareness were completely overwhelmed by Luffy.

This is the first time I've felt this way.

Barrett felt he had a chance to defeat Roger, but when he faced Luffy, who was even younger than him, he couldn't beat him!

"Straw Hat Luffy!"

Barrett roared, "I won't stop here! Taste my full glory!"

With a roar, a submarine resembling a whale appeared on the sea surface below.

Catapult number!

The ship was loaded with all kinds of weapons and iron, and Barrett regarded it as his only partner. He could use his abilities to merge with the ship.

"Don't think you're the only one who's awakened a Devil Fruit power. Try out the power of my Fusion Fruit!"

Large bullet shape!

He awakened his Devil Fruit powers and merged with all the buildings on the island, forming a colossal monster half the size of the island.

Its appearance created a strong sense of oppression.

It felt like the sky was about to collapse.

"Let me show you the power of the ultimate cannon!"

Before he finished speaking, Luffy's hand was already on the hilt of the black sword, Demonic Intent.

"All that fancy stuff, don't you ever reflect on yourselves? For me, bigger doesn't necessarily mean bigger threat."

Luffy's eyes flashed crimson as he leaped into the air.

Before Barrett could even react, a black blade of light, too fast for the naked eye to catch, flashed past him. He didn't even see Luffy draw his sword.

Its heavy body was cut open like tofu, smoothly splitting into two halves.

Barrett's eyes widened as he was deliberately cut away from her.

He looked down at his hands, then back at the collapsing metal giant behind him, his mind going blank for a full two seconds.

"impossible."

He murmured.

How could this be?

Before using his Devil Fruit powers, he was able to fight Luffy for several rounds, going back and forth and testing each other.

Although Luffy has been in the lead, the gap between the two is still visible.

But now he used the strongest armed form of the Fusion Fruit, fusing himself with the metal of the entire mountain to create this metal giant that was perfect in both offense and defense, but it couldn't even withstand a single blow.

After using the Devil Fruit's power, they were instead crushed?

"It's very similar to a move that Uncle Golden Lion used back then."

Luffy slung the black sword over his shoulder. "Back then, he also came up with a bunch of fancy stuff, but in the end, he couldn't unleash his true strength."
