Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Chapter 330 Luffy Awakens! (Please Subscribe!)

Suddenly, the sound of thunder and lightning echoed through the sky.

Everyone present couldn't help but look up at the sky.

A massive naval warship was flying at an extremely high speed from a distance toward Mary Geoise.

It only took a few breaths to go from an almost invisible black dot to being able to see the details of the warship.

The Five Elders stared grimly at the approaching naval warships.

Without a doubt, the people on the warship were Raleigh and the navy's admirals.

At this moment, the revolutionary army did not make any further moves.

Everyone stood behind the dragon, their expressions complex.

Even though the dragons didn't speak, they already understood the truth of the matter.

That is, their revolutionary army was essentially created to draw the navy's fire.

And now the mastermind behind the revolutionary army is finally about to reveal his true colors.

call!

The military aircraft came to a steady stop between the two forces, and then a tall figure appeared before everyone.

He wore a white suit with a naval admiral's cloak, a symbol of honor and power.

Raleigh crossed his arms and coldly watched the two sides fighting below him.

"Christine Raleigh!"

"I should have known about your treacherous ambitions long ago; I shouldn't have chosen you in the first place!"

The enraged Five Elders began to hurl insults at Raleigh in the sky.

Raleigh glanced at him briefly before turning his attention to the dragons.

At this moment, the expression on Dragon's face was very complicated, as were those of Sengoku and Garp beside him.

Their arrival at Raleigh's place was both unexpected and perfectly logical.

"Christine Raleigh, he's finally shown up."

At this moment, the Red-Haired Pirates, hidden in the shadows of Mary Geoise, were glaring at Raleigh's figure with gritted teeth.

They felt pure hatred for Raleigh.

Raleigh's arrival and actions resulted in their companions being seriously injured, causing them to abandon their stronghold like stray dogs.

And Raleigh slaughtered all of Red-Haired's friends and teachers.

If Shanks hadn't been suppressing his anger so fiercely, he would have already charged forward with his sword to fight Raleigh.

Raleigh looked calmly at the dragon and said:

"Does anyone have any last words? I can answer them for you."

Upon hearing this, the five elders roared and spoke with a sense of reproach, but Raleigh paid no attention, focusing his gaze on the dragon.

Long took a deep breath and asked:

"Have you been pulling the strings behind the scenes for all these years?"

Raleigh nodded, then said:

"I knew your idea from the moment I came into contact with you: to overthrow the rule of the World Government, which happens to align with my goal."

"Furthermore, your path is not the same as mine. Your appearance will attract the attention of the World Government, thereby loosening its control over me."

After giving a wry smile, Long continued:

"So, while you openly and vehemently attack the Revolutionary Army's power, you secretly keep offering them advice and strategies in various ways. Those valuable documents were given to you at your behest, weren't they?"

Raleigh nodded as well:

"Most of them were given to you after Vegapunk and I discussed them, but some were not; those were Vegapunk's own ideas."

"You have one last question."

After taking a deep breath, Long said:

"Since you've come to reap the rewards of victory, what will you do to this world?"

Raleigh stood on the warship, with the sun radiating intense light behind him, and his gaze was as fiery as the sun.

"I have already rid the world of the scourge of pirates. Now all I need to do is clean up the scourge of the World Government, and the world can run exactly as I want it to."

"I once thought that anyone could live freely, that merchants could sell goods from all over the world, that farmers could make a living simply by cultivating their land, and that travelers could show the world's beautiful scenery to the world."

"They don't need to worry about being killed by pirates who might arrive at any moment, nor do they need to worry about bearing heavy taxes, nor do they need to fear becoming slaves without freedom at any time. I will make all of this possible step by step after dealing with you."

Dragon fell silent after hearing Raleigh's answer.

Although Raleigh's goals were not exactly the same as his, he also longed for the kind of life that Raleigh described.

This world should be exactly as Raleigh described it.

However, this world government, which has existed for eight hundred years, has become a malignant tumor hindering the world's development.

Regardless of whether Raleigh succeeds or not, Dragon will risk his life to overthrow the World Government's rule.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from inside the warship's cabin:

"Let me out, you bastard!"

"Let me out!"

The sudden sound drew the attention of everyone present.

Garp's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

He recognized the voice immediately; it belonged to his beloved grandson.

Monkey D. Luffy!

At this moment, Garp's face was ashen, and he coldly looked at Raleigh in the sky before speaking:

"Marshal Raleigh, who is being held captive in your cabin?"

Seeing Garp's sensitivity, Raleigh didn't hide anything and spoke directly:

"That's your grandson, Monkey D. Luffy."

"Oh, right, he's also the son of a dragon. He was captured by the Navy for forming a pirate crew."

"Cleveland, go and bring those guys out."

Cleveland nodded slightly, then retreated into the cabin and pulled Luffy and the others, who were shouting, out.

"Bastard, let me go! I want to fight you!"

"You bastard!"

At this moment, Luffy's face was full of anger.

Raleigh turned to look at Luffy, then a look of disappointment crossed his face.

Sure enough, even that god-level fruit needs to grow step by step.

At this moment, Luffy is far from mature, and the aura he exudes is only that of a commodore.

It's probably because the Navy wiped away all the experiences he had on his path to growth, leaving him without any opportunity to hone his skills. Even the Nika Fruit isn't reacting at this moment.

Then, under the cold gazes of Garp and Dragon, Raleigh stretched out his right leg and ruthlessly brought Luffy down.

Garp stomped on the ground and flew into the sky.

"Luffy!!!"

"grandfather!!!"

As Luffy fell from the sky, he saw his grandfather. While Luffy was still wondering what was going on, Garp had already grabbed him and brought him to the ground.

"Grandpa, break my hand! I want to knock that bastard away!"

At this moment, Luffy still appeared carefree and oblivious.

He raised his sea stone hand and said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Kacha.

Garp raised his iron fist and shattered the sea stone hand binding Luffy with a single punch.

"Very good."

Luffy moved his hands and felt the power he had lost return to his body.

"Next, I'm going to go up there and knock him away!"

Luffy said with a confident look on his face.

Garp raised his right hand, which was covered in Armament Haki, and slammed it hard into Luffy's head.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Grandpa, what are you doing?"

A huge bump suddenly appeared on Luffy's head, and he glared at Garp with displeasure.

Garp said with a questioning expression:

"Didn't I tell you to stay put in Windmill Village?"

"And how did you become a pirate again? Have you forgotten what Grandpa told you to join the Navy?"

Luffy said with a guilty look:

"Grandpa, when I was in the East Blue, I saw Uta being executed by the Navy. I wanted to find Shanks to ask him why he didn't save Uta, so I chose to go to sea."

"Besides, I don't want to be a Marine, I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Before Garp could speak, two more loud screams echoed from the sky.

"ah!!!"

"ah!!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Luffy suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted:

"Nami!"

"Usopp!"

His hands instantly transformed into freely stretchable rubber, reaching from the ground towards the sky.

The two people in the sky looked at Luffy's outstretched hands, their hearts filled with trust in him. They silently closed their mouths, waiting for Luffy to catch them.

Just as the extended rubber arm was about to touch Nami and Usopp.

!

Peng!

After two loud bangs, the two people who were waiting for Luffy to rescue them were instantly blown into a cloud of blood mist.

The rubber arm, which had already touched the hem of the two people's clothes, now passed straight through the two clumps of viscous blood mist.

Luffy froze, his mind seemingly frozen in that instant.

They don't even know when the rubber arm retracted.

After an unknown amount of time, I felt a sticky mass of blood on my arm, which seemed to still carry some of Nami and Usopp's warmth.

He stood there, unsure of what to do next.

Suddenly, several small black dots appeared in my field of vision.

Those were his other companions.

Sanji, Zoro, Chopper...

Something seemed to be awakening within Luffy, and he roared loudly:

"I will never allow you to hurt my comrades again!"

"Zoro, Sanji!!!"

Ignoring his own injuries, Luffy strained his hands and stretched them forcefully toward the sky.

It seemed that his efforts could get his companion out of danger.

but...

It was all too late.

The outcome was already decided the moment Raleigh decided to throw the rest of the men out.

That means Luffy simply has no way to stop it.

!!!

The scene repeated itself just as before.

The three figures turned into a bloody mist just as Luffy was about to touch them.

Luffy's hands passed through his companions' blood mist once again, but he grabbed nothing.

Boom!

dong dong!

Boom boom boom! ! !

Those present suddenly heard a strange sound.

It sounded like a heartbeat.

"Luffy!"

Garp and Dragon, who were closest to Luffy, were the first to notice the changes in him.

Her originally black short hair began to burn and turned white at an extremely fast speed, and her eyebrows also began to curve strangely.

At the same time, flames began to burn on Luffy's body.

Then, Luffy suddenly leaped into the air.

He wanted revenge on Raleigh in the sky.

Even if he were to awaken now, he would still be no match for Raleigh.

When Luffy's figure appeared in mid-air, the Five Elders, who were still furious with the Navy, were all shocked. Their pupils contracted, and they stared motionlessly at the burning body in the sky.

Then, the Five Elders roared in horror:

"Quickly, kill him!"

"He is Joy Boy!!!"

At this moment, Luffy was unaware of the changes occurring in his body; all he knew was that he felt like he had an inexhaustible supply of energy.

The sound of a heartbeat echoed in Mary Geoise.

This is the sound of the legendary liberation drums.

Legend has it that when the drums of liberation resound throughout the land, it will be the time when Joy Boy returns.

On the battlefield below, the Five Elders were staring intently at Luffy's figure.

It can't be wrong!

They will never admit their mistake!

The white flames burning all over, the sound of the liberating drums that could bewitch people.

Only Nika, the enemy of "God" and hailed as the warrior of liberation, possesses this ability.

The aura emanating from the Five Elders wielding the demon sword surged dramatically, as did the burly Five Elders beside them.

"Kill him!"

"He is God's mortal enemy, Nika!"

Two figures soared into the sky, carrying boundless killing intent as they lunged at Luffy in the air.

They were even three points faster than the already deployed Knights of God.

At this moment, the Five Elders' sudden outburst drew everyone's attention away from Luffy and towards them.

Although Garp and Dragon didn't know what kind of changes had occurred in Luffy, they could tell that the Five Elders wanted to kill him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Garp's figure exploded instantly, soaring into the sky.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Sengoku, Ryu, stop them!!!"

Rumble!

The ground beneath Garp's feet collapsed instantly, as if struck by a meteorite, and he appeared in mid-air as if teleported.

Following closely behind was Sengoku, whom Garp had called out.

Dragon activated his Devil Fruit power and flew towards Luffy's location like a tornado.

With Garp unleashing his full power.

Even though he was a fraction slower than the Five Elders, he arrived at Luffy's feet almost simultaneously.

Ignoring his own injuries, Garp, covered in a steely blue Armament Haki, rammed Luffy into his own camp.

At the same time, he raised his right fist high.

Even when the Five Elders of the Demon Blade struck him in the chest with their furious attack, he remained completely undaunted.

His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to devour the person in front of him.

Then, with lightning speed, his raised right fist slammed into the chest of the Five Elders of the Demon Sword.

"Meteorite bone!!!"

Kama!

The sword in the hands of the Five Elders cut through Garp's Armament Haki without any hindrance. If Garp had not trained his physique to the extreme, this strike might have already split him in two.

Garp ignored his injuries and slammed his right fist, covered in Armament Haki, into the chest of the Five Elders.

With a series of cracking sounds, the iron fist shattered the breastbone of the Five Elders of the Demon Blade.

The two of them, entangled in this way, crashed down from the sky towards Marineford!
