The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 349 Invasion

Seeing this, Ace also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, stepped forward to join forces with Luffy, and wanted to fight against Wes's momentum together.

But Wes remained relaxed, simply sitting there and subtly releasing his aura, which forced Luffy and Ace to retreat continuously, their legs trembling slightly as they were almost pressed to the ground by his powerful aura.

When the others saw Luffy and Ace almost being crushed to the ground by Wes's powerful aura, they were all anxious and wanted to help.

Just then, Wes withdrew his powerful aura.

"Ha~"

"Ha~"

Luffy and Aston breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily. The fight had almost exhausted them, and they felt weak all over, their legs even feeling a little limp.

"You are our guests today," Wes stood up, his face regaining its seemingly calm expression. "I can't let people say I don't know how to treat guests."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the private room.

"All your expenses in Dressrosa are covered by the company; consider this my compensation. If we meet again, we'll be enemies."

Wes's voice came from outside, echoing in everyone's ears.

After Wes left, Nami's tense nerves finally relaxed. She plopped down on the ground, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "That was terrifying."

The tense atmosphere and Wes's overwhelmingly powerful aura had indeed given her quite a fright.

Although the others weren't as dramatic as Nami, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The invisible pressure they had just felt was immense; they all felt as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.

Everyone lost interest in continuing their sightseeing and returned directly to the ship.

"Do we really want to be his enemy?" The cowardly trio—Usopp, Chopper, and Nami—asked, still trembling with fear.

"Of course!!" Luffy remained unfazed, still exuding confidence.

Nothing could stop him from becoming the Pirate King, not even a powerful enemy like Wes.

"The other side has at least two coordinate texts," Ace said seriously.

To reach Laugh Tale, you must collect all four Poneglyph Road Pieces.

There's bound to be a battle between them and Wes.

Zoro showed no fear; instead, he became excited. He gripped his sword tightly, and the fighting spirit in his heart began to boil.

He almost lost his temper and fought Cyrus in the arena today. For him, fighting against powerful opponents is the only way to continuously improve his strength and get closer to his goal of becoming the world's greatest swordsman.

However, the risk of Wes going to war is too great. At least for now, they have no chance of winning at all, as the gap in strength between the two sides is simply too vast.

After returning to the mage tower, Wes began to devote himself to studying the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Mink Tribe of Zou, and the remnants of the Wano Country samurai united together.

Facing such a powerful enemy as Wes, it is far from enough to rely on one's own strength alone; only by uniting can one possibly contend with him.

They entered Wano Country together.

"Be careful," Kawamatsu whispered, cautiously reminding everyone.

He was the one who led the group into Wano Country. He was extremely familiar with the terrain of Wano Country and knew many secret passages.

Kin'emon followed behind, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around him, his heart filled with doubt. He really couldn't understand why Wano Country had become like this.

In Wano Country today, Kurozumi Orochi has been overthrown, and the other five daimyo have either fled or died.

But the people are living better lives.

Aside from the Nine Red Scabbards, it seems that not many people still miss the Kozuki family.

"The situation is very serious." Kawamatsu briefly explained the recent situation to Kin'emon.

"Someone is impersonating Lord Oden??"

Upon hearing this, Kin'emon exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with astonishment and anger.

In his heart, Kozuki Oden was a figure he deeply revered, so how could he tolerate someone impersonating him?

Kawamatsu sighed helplessly.

The person impersonating Kozuki Oden was Yamato, that filial daughter.

During the previous upheaval, she, who had been wandering in Wano Country, luckily escaped annihilation and later unexpectedly encountered the Nine Red Scabbards.

Yamato herself is quite powerful, and it is precisely because of this that the Nine Red Scabbards accepted her.

In this difficult situation, they have no choice but to use every available force. Even though Yamato is the child of their enemy, for the sake of Wano Country's future, they can only put aside their hatred for the time being and unite to fight against the external enemy.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Of all these people, Ace was the happiest.

He and Yamato are good friends, and the two haven't seen each other for two years.

This should have been a happy occasion, but the thought of facing a powerful enemy like Wes and the current predicament of Wano Country made Ace unable to feel happy at all; his heart was filled with worry.

"Are these the only people left?"

Kin'emon looked at the group of less than 100 people in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Momonosuke showed signs of cowardice and even wanted to escape Wano Country.

His performance was not as responsible as his sister, Hiyori.

However, as the eldest son, Momonosuke had to shoulder his responsibilities at this time.

After a simple ceremony, Momonosuke took over the position of Shogun of Wano Country. Afterwards, everyone began to discuss how to drive Wes out of Wano Country.

However, as the discussion deepened, everyone's expressions became increasingly solemn.

Wes's formidable strength stood like a towering mountain before them, making them feel increasingly uncertain the more they analyzed the situation.

The enormous gap in strength between the two sides was like an insurmountable chasm, making it almost impossible for them to see the dawn of victory.

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

Everyone was deep in thought.

The sudden knocking broke the silence, and everyone was startled, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts: Had they been discovered?

The samurai reacted extremely quickly. Almost instinctively, they drew their swords from their waists, their eyes filled with vigilance and determination. Without hesitation, they rushed towards the door, ready to deal with any potential danger.

With a loud bang, the door was smashed open by a powerful force, and the huge impact knocked the samurai behind the door unconscious, raising a cloud of dust.

Several people dressed in sharp white suits and wearing mysterious white masks slowly walked in.

"CP0!!" Marco's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the person at a glance. His voice was deep and serious.
