Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

???

A few question marks appeared above Luffy's head as he stared blankly at Zeno shouting at him from below.

no?!

He's so smart, don't always treat him like an idiot!

His and Zeno's identities: Marine and Pirate.

Then their relationship must be hostile; they are enemies!

You're asking one of my enemies for help to get you up here? Are you kidding me?!

If it were the Luffy from the original work, he might actually do that. But the current Luffy, under the influence of Kayle and others, although he can't change his stupid nature, can still be less foolish in certain situations.

"What are you thinking about, you idiot!"

"How dare you say such nonsense!"

"I'm your enemy, not your father. You've probably asked the wrong person for help."

Luffy's three consecutive scathing remarks immediately enraged Zeno below, turning him from blue to purple with anger.

He really couldn't understand why this kid, who was so young, had such a poisonous mouth.

Seeing that Luffy had no intention of rescuing him, Zeno's face turned extremely gloomy, and he stared intently at Luffy above him.

"Since you're not going to save me, you won't have it easy either!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeno bent his knees slightly, then suddenly leaped up and charged towards Luffy.

With Zeno's strength, jumping dozens of meters would be a piece of cake for him, but he couldn't escape the onslaught of this wave of lightning by jumping.

After all, this thunder wasn't just a small wave, but a continuous barrage.

Who has ever seen a flood that is only a small section of the land?

Ace and his friends were able to evade because they could fly and stay airborne.

Jumping without being able to stay airborne only hastens your death.

That's what Zeno is doing now.

If he had continued running, it would have taken the lightning a few more seconds to catch up with him. But now that he jumped, he would have fallen into the ocean of lightning and taken a lightning bath.

But he no longer cares about any of that.

What difference does it make if we're a few seconds late?

The situation is now clear: even if he continues to run, his final fate will still be to be submerged by this sea of ​​thunder.

His speed was simply insufficient to allow him to escape.

Since the final result is the same, why doesn't he take someone down with him?

At least this way I won't be lonely!

"You brat, get down here!!!"

Zeno roared and reached out to grab Luffy with one hand.

During the battle just now, he had a general idea of ​​Luffy's strength, which was slightly weaker than his own.

Even if he were stronger, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Luffy.

The problem is that he doesn't need to defeat Luffy at all right now. As long as Luffy fights him, he can keep him occupied. He's confident in that.

What he hadn't anticipated was that Luffy, who always preferred to fight head-on in battle, was no longer so.

Seeing Zeno grab him, he had no intention of fighting Zeno. Instead, he used Moonwalk to ascend, directly arriving at a position over a hundred meters high.

Zeno couldn't reach that position.

Luffy then made a face at Zeno.

"Idiot, who wants to fight you!"

"Go down yourself if you want, I don't want to get hit by Kyle's lightning!"

Yes! The case is solved!

The reason Luffy is so cowardly is because he is afraid of Kyle's lightning.

It's not Luffy's fault; he was traumatized by Kyle's electric shock once.

Ever since then, I've been intimidated by Kyle's Ray.

He remembered it was about a year ago when he accidentally damaged a cable in the base, and then countless currents surged out and attacked him.

At that moment, Luffy had only one thought in his mind:

We're doomed!!

Because he had been shocked by Kyle before, he was inexplicably afraid of electricity.

But to his surprise, the pain he had imagined did not come.

No matter how violent the electric current was, he felt nothing at all.

He was overjoyed at the time, thinking that his increased strength had rendered electricity useless against him.

Without saying a word, he arrogantly found Kyle, intending to have an earth-shattering battle with him.

But the result...

Somewhat unsatisfactory!

Kyle nearly turned him into an unparalleled dance king by simply unleashing a bolt of purple lightning!

It shattered the dream he hadn't even had a chance to realize.

He then tried to electrocute himself with the cable again, but it still didn't work.

Finally, he came to a conclusion:

Kyle's Thunder is different from ordinary Thunder, and he also created his own set of standards to make it easier for him to remember.

Blue lightning, you can touch it! No big deal!!

Purple lightning, absolutely not to be touched!!! Must attend the banquet!!!

Therefore, in other situations, Luffy would have charged straight in at Zeno's actions, but with Kael's Thunder, his life was more important!

Zeno ultimately failed to capture Luffy and, filled with deep hatred for him, fell into the sea of ​​lightning, where he was instantly submerged.

Looking at Zeno falling into the lightning, Luffy couldn't help but shudder.

He opened his mouth and said:

"How pitiful!!"

Apart from Zeno, all the pirates in Wang Zhi's crew were also unsurprisingly submerged by the Thunder Ocean.

The screams were drowned out by the crackling of thunder and were barely audible.

After an unknown amount of time, when the sea of ​​thunder dissipated, all the buildings on the entire Beehive Island had been reduced to fragments, turning it into a complete ruin.

The pirates' figures were crushed under the pile of stones, and a considerable number of them had already lost their breath.

Among these figures, Ace saw Garr, who had fought with the two of them, lying there charred black.

Although he wasn't dead, he had already lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Sabo and Ace subconsciously glanced at each other, both able to see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The gap in strength between them and Kyle is really widening!

The two of them had been fighting for so long without being able to defeat Garr, but he was only hit by the aftershocks of Kayle's attack and collapsed unconscious.

The aftershocks alone were so terrifying; imagine what happened right in the center of that attack...

Thinking of this, Sabo and Ace both turned their gazes toward a certain direction.

Meanwhile, at the very spot where Kyle and Wang Zhi had fought, there was a huge and deep crater. The land around the crater was broken and fragmented, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Residual purple lightning flashes could still be seen from time to time in the surrounding area.

Kyle's figure slowly fell from the sky and landed in the pit.

It landed next to a figure whose body was charred black.

The figure was Wang Zhi, but he looked completely different from when they first met, utterly disheveled.

His body didn't move an inch, and his chest didn't rise or fall at all. If Kyle hadn't been able to sense his faint breath with his Observation Haki, he would have thought he was dead.

The current situation means that Kyle will win against Wang Zhi!
