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

Chapter 596 The Insane World Government

The clouds were violently torn open by the three figures rushing towards the sky, revealing a sky that was dyed purplish-red behind them.

The destructive beam of light descending from the sky was falling at a visible speed, carrying terrifying energy powerful enough to vaporize the entire island into dust.

boom!

A deafening roar exploded in the sky.

Luffy, Kaido, and Big Mom attacked simultaneously, their Conqueror's Haki clashing and intertwining as they confronted the white light head-on.

"Heat Breath!"

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

"Ape God Spear!"

The aftershocks alone caused the island below to tremble violently, and countless rocks collapsed from the mountainside, rolling into the sea below and creating waves tens of meters high.

No one dared to underestimate the power of ancient weapons, not even the emperors of the sea.

They might be able to dodge, but their men definitely wouldn't have that ability.

Letting Uranus fall would be tantamount to giving up all his possessions accumulated over the years, something no one would do, especially since Luffy considers his crewmates more important than his own life.

Looking up, you can see the sky above Wano Country is burning.

"It's never going to end. Those guys in the World Government are already scared of being beaten. Now they only dare to attack from behind. They don't even have the courage to fight head-on anymore."

Luffy deliberately faced the ominous cloud.

The sky here is a suffocating orange-red, as if the entire sky has been scorched by the breath of some giant beast.

Now, Luffy isn't having as much trouble fighting Uranus as before.

If you can't even fight against weapons, what kind of Pirate King are you?!

After two such instances, the air pressure dropped even lower, tearing the clouds into fragments that scattered across the sky. And above those shattered clouds, an indescribable sense of oppression once again gathered.

On the ruins of the old Oni Island, tens of thousands of pirates, samurai, and civilians looked up, and no one spoke.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became a luxury.

"This is the third time."

Kaido's massive dragon body floated in mid-air, with several of his blue scales curling up to reveal dark red muscles beneath. "Tsk, those cowards in the World Government really know how to spend money. This thing must consume a lot of energy, right?"

"Will this ever end?"

Big Mom floats on the other side, with a giant fire serpent, the form of Prometheus, wrapped around her left arm, and Napoleon in her right hand transformed into a giant sword.

Her breathing became rapid, something almost impossible for a sea emperor.

However, the two consecutive Uranus attacks, coupled with the stamina she had expended in her previous battle with Luffy, left her in such a predicament.

Her eyes widened in surprise. "Those guys in the World Government are really planning to wipe us all out?"

That kind of thing is something that humans should never have to face.

"Hey, you two still have the energy to talk big? I can already feel my stomach growling."

Luffy was starting to feel like he was going to find something to eat.

I can have anything, except hunger.

Food is his source of energy.

He must have a big meal after this is all over.

Kaido glared at him. "Didn't you say you were full before you came?"

"What does that little bit of weight matter?"

Luffy declared confidently, "I'm going to be the Pirate King, so of course I'll be expending more energy than you guys!"

"You little brat, talking about this now makes me hungry."

Just as the three were bickering, that chilling sense of oppression gathered again in the sky, and a pillar of light tore through the clouds, plummeting down with an aura of destruction.

"Will this ever end?!"

Big Mom roared, her face contorted with rage, "Once, twice, three times, what do you take me for?!"

Luffy grinned, "Anyway, it's not a good thing."

Three figures soared into the sky once more.

However, this time, as Luffy ascended, he glanced at the distant sea.

The seawater there was churning violently, as if some enormous creature was slowly rising from the seabed. At the gap in the mountain range blasted open by the Heavenly King's energy, a large amount of seawater was pouring in, forming a huge whirlpool.

"Well?"

Luffy narrowed his eyes slightly.

He couldn't see clearly what it was from that distance, but the senses he received from his Observation Haki told him that an exceptionally powerful aura was awakening there.

not long ago,

Shirahoshi, aboard the Going Merry, watched this scene from afar, the immense tremors causing the entire ship to shake violently.

"Princess Shirahoshi, are you alright?"

A calm voice came from the side.

Jinbe emerged halfway out of the sea, his massive body standing steadily amidst the waves. His large, distinctive fish-man hands gripped the edge of the Going Merry, stabilizing the swaying ship.

The battle over there was over, and Jack the Drought looked quite disheveled. If Jinbe were given a little more time, it wouldn't be a problem to completely resolve the situation. However, at this moment, Uranus landed, and Jinbe quickly returned to the ship.

Besides being a partner, Shirahoshi is also the princess of Fishman Island. Jinbe promised King Neptune that he would never let anything happen to Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing shook her head, trying to calm her breathing.

"I'm fine, Mr. Jinbe."

"That's good."

Jinbe breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the sky. "That power is indeed the same as during the Impel Down War; it's the Ancient Weapon Uranus."

Following his gaze, Shirahoshi looked up at the sky and saw Luffy and his crew facing the falling pillar of destruction for the third time. A hint of worry flashed in her light blue eyes. "How much longer can Luffy and the others hold on?"

"Hard to say."

Jinbe's voice was deep, "The Heavenly King's attack power is too strong. Even a Yonko-level powerhouse would have to consume a lot of stamina and Haki every time he defends against it."

In my humble opinion, while Mr. Luffy's aura is still strong, it has clearly weakened considerably compared to when the battle began.

Not only Luffy, but Kaido and Big Mom's auras have also noticeably weakened.

After all, it is a terrifying entity capable of destroying a country with a single blow.

Those three people who were able to stop them were already monsters.

No one else has any right to help.

If you are not careful, your whole body will turn to ashes.

"If this continues, Lord Luffy will be worn down sooner or later."

Bai Xing gripped her arm tightly.

Has she also become a burden to Lord Luffy?

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

His gaze fell on the mountain range not far away, which had been blasted open by the aftershocks of the Heavenly King's energy.

Seawater was rushing in through the crack, and the sound of the massive flow echoed throughout the surrounding waters of Wano Country.

Bai Xing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Mr. Jinbe! I remember now! It's about what Ms. Perona told me earlier!"

She turned her head sharply to look at Jinbe beside her, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Jinbe was slightly taken aback. "What did Perona say to you?"

"It's Hades!"

Shirahoshi blurted out, "Miss Perona said that Robin and the others found a Poneglyph underground and also learned the location of the Ancient Weapon Pluton—it's at the bottom of the sea in Wano Country!"

Jinbe's fish eyes widened suddenly, and for a moment he almost doubted that there was something wrong with his ears.

Hades!

At the bottom of the sea in Wano Country?

"Yes!"

Shirahoshi nodded vigorously, "Moreover, Miss Perona said that Hades is sleeping in the old Wano Country, which was submerged by the sea. Now those mountains have been breached, and the seawater is pouring in. Maybe that passage is already passable!"

Jinbe paused for a moment, then quickly guessed Shirahoshi's thoughts: "You want to use Pluton to fight against Uranus?"

Shirahoshi nodded.

Pluton is a legendary ancient weapon that can destroy an island with a single shot. If we can find it, it can at least help Luffy and his crew relieve some of the pressure!

There's no reason why an ancient weapon that can rival the Heavenly King shouldn't be able to do something like this.

Then Shirahoshi remembered her identity...

Can these be the same?

Her home turf is the ocean!

Jinbe remained silent for a moment.

He looked at the young fish-woman princess before him, and felt a sense of relief seeing the same unwavering light in her eyes as Luffy's.

Have you already been infected by Mr. Luffy's assimilation ability after only knowing him for a short time?

But what's there to hesitate about?
