Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"What's the deal with that old woman?" Hyogoro swallowed hard and asked.

“That’s no ordinary old woman!” Luffy shook his head and said.

However, because of what just happened, the bucket that Kidd and Killer were in was also broken, which indirectly saved their lives.

"Whoa~~ A man with a bounty of 1.3 billion!! He was defeated in just two hits!"

"Lord Quinn, please pull yourself together!"

"No way! They're from completely different dimensions, she's a genuine middle-aged woman!"

The jailers, seeing Quinn motionless, were beginning to panic.

However, when they tried to contact Onigashima, they discovered that Chiro had no signal at all.

The Spirals of Wano Country function similarly to Den Den Mushi, but they transmit signals in a different way.

To transmit a message, the surrounding smart snails usually pass the information to the leader of a local smart snail, and then the leader of the smart snail passes it on to the smart snails in the distance.

However, the leader of the Zhiluo quarry has now been blocked by Raizo and Kalibu, so no news can be transmitted out of the quarry at all.

"Brother Babanuki, can I shoot her now?" A prison guard asked boldly, looking at the old woman standing in the middle, sniffing around.

"Damn it, don't provoke her! Let's wait for Lord Kaido's instructions before we act!" Babanuki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly.

Chapter 558 The Critical Moment

"Found it! Red bean soup!" When the old woman appeared in front of everyone carrying a large pot, all the prison guards were somewhat frightened.

The hidden favorite of Lord Quinn, red bean soup, was eventually found by the old lady.

However, among the crowd, the two jailers responsible for guarding the red bean soup looked rather grim.

Because only they knew that the red bean soup inside was completely gone. They didn't know what would happen after the old lady discovered this fact, but they knew it would be very serious.

"What a sweet and rich aroma! This big pot of red bean soup is worth the long trip!" The woman put the pot of red bean soup on the ground and said expectantly.

"What should we do? What if she opens it and finds it empty... what will happen?"

"Perhaps... they'll kill us all!"

The two jailers exchanged glances.

Sure enough, when the woman opened the pot with high expectations, she found it empty, and she seemed to become frustrated and sad.

"No...no! Run! Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

"Quickly... retreat immediately! Survival is the priority!"

"An unpredictable disaster is about to strike! Run!"

All the jailers sensed the calm before the storm, and without the slightest hesitation, they all chose to flee immediately.

"I can imagine how sad she was. After all, the red bean soup was so delicious. I really want to eat it again! Red bean soup...it's so delicious!"

Meanwhile, looking at the seemingly negative middle-aged woman, Luffy stood on the ring and said with a smile.

“I said… Straw Hat Brothers…” Hyogoro, standing to the side, patted Luffy with a slight tremor.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?" Luffy asked, looking puzzled.

"The culprit... is that you?" Upon hearing Luffy's words, the old woman's face darkened and her eyes turned red as she stared at him.

"Huh?? I said I was here? But I was just thinking that red bean soup is really delicious!" Luffy's eyes widened when he heard Hyogoro's explanation.

"Didn't you just say it again?" Hyogoro was already feeling a bit powerless. He felt that this guy was either doing it on purpose or was an idiot!

"It's Luffy Taro!" Kiku and Chopper, who were standing at the entrance, naturally noticed Luffy, who had become the focus of everyone's attention.

"We found him, but he's right at the center of all the problems again!" Chopper was almost in tears.

They finally managed to get Big Mom on their side, but with just two sentences—no, one sentence—Luffy completely offended her.

"boom!"

After finding the culprit, Big Mom attacked Luffy without hesitation. However, Luffy was still wearing a collar around his neck, which would explode if he left the ring area. Therefore, he had to escape with Hyogoro in a limited space.

However, Big Mom was already in a state of rage. Even Luffy at his peak might not be her match, let alone him in this state. So, Luffy was quickly forced into a corner by Big Mom with nowhere to retreat.

"Oh no... this is really bad, there's nowhere left to retreat, the collar is beeping!" Standing on the edge of the ring, Luffy realized that he and Hyogoro had nowhere to escape.

"Auntie, take their heads and please calm down!" At this moment, a jailer standing on the edge shouted to the old woman.

If she continues to cause such damage, the entire quarry will truly be finished.

"Shut up!" The old woman threw a large rock, which flattened the jailer.

"Everyone in that poor town was so kind to me! That's why... I wanted to bring back more red bean soup... to share with everyone!" the old woman roared angrily. "But... you two ate all the red bean soup! I wanted everyone to have some red bean soup!"

The old woman's roar stunned Chopper and Kiku, who were standing nearby. They thought the old woman was angry because she hadn't gotten the food she wanted, especially Chopper, who had experienced the Whole Cake Island incident and knew how obsessed the old woman was with food. But they never expected that the reason for the old woman's anger was this.

That's why he was so surprised after hearing the old lady's angry roar.

"So... brat! Die!" Big Mom punched Luffy and Hyogoro. To avoid Big Mom's attack, Luffy had no choice but to dodge with Hyogoro, but in doing so, the two of them left the ring area.

"Beep beep... beep beep..."

Because the two had left the ring area, the collars were about to explode.

Meanwhile, on the roof of the quarry prison, two people, one tall and one short, who were hiding themselves in trench coats, were standing there watching.

"Is that the Big Mom who has the same fighting power as Kaido? Her destructive power is simply too strong. Queen is like a child in front of her!" The shorter figure sighed softly.

"This isn't her full strength!" the tall, dark figure chuckled and said.

"They really are all monsters! I just never expected... that Lord Hyogoro would be here, and in such a state. It's truly... heartbreaking! Hahaha..." The short, dark figure seemed somewhat saddened, but then he started laughing, giving off a very strange feeling!

"Don't forget, you're an outsider now. If this gets exposed... I won't save you a second time!" the tall, dark figure warned softly.

"Rest assured, since I have already promised you, I will definitely do it! Hahaha..."

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a corner of the trench coat and revealing the short man's face – it was none other than Shimotsuki Yasuie, who should have been dead before.

On the other side, the two who were forced to flee the ring area by the old lady were about to have their collars explode, but at the critical moment, Luffy grabbed Hyogoro's collar with one hand and his own collar with the other, and then took the collars off directly.

"Huh?" After landing on the ground, Luffy himself couldn't believe it and said to Hyogoro, "I really took off the collar. What did I do, old man!"

"Hehe... That's great, Mr. Luffy Taro!" Hyogoro said with a smile, standing in place.

"Haha... Stop talking, let's run for our lives! Big Mom is coming soon!" Luffy said, preparing to run away, but Hyogoro stood still and didn't move.

"Hey bro in the straw hat, before you forget how you felt earlier, come over and protect me!" Hyogoro said with a smile, standing in place.

Chapter 559 The Old Lady Returns

"Uncle, stop fooling around! Now is the time to run for our lives!" Luffy replied seriously after hearing Hyogoro's words.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in himself, but if the thing failed, it wouldn't matter to him, but Hyogoro definitely wouldn't be able to withstand Big Mom's attack, and then things would be terrible.

However, Hyogoro seemed to have made up his mind, and stood there without running away.

"Brother with the straw hat, the move you just used has exceeded the limit of what I can teach you. In that case, if you use it again, it can save both of our lives!" Hyogoro thought to himself, with his back to Big Mom and Luffy.

He had complete confidence in Luffy, believing that Luffy would be able to use the same move again.

Luffy had already positioned himself behind Hyogoro, ready to take Big Mom's attack head-on.

"No way! That guy... is planning to take me head-on?"

"Absolutely impossible! Those two guys are courting death!"

"Are they crazy? Don't they know who they're facing? That's Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors!"

The surrounding jailers were speechless at the two's actions, but they themselves didn't know that deep down, they also had a sliver of hope that Luffy could withstand Big Mom's attacks.

That's what makes Luffy so charming!

"Go for it, you little guy in the straw hat!" Standing at the highest point of the quarry, Kang Jia seemed to be infected by Luffy's spirit and silently cheered him on in his heart.

"Don't use force, but rather let the Haki wrap around your fist..." Luffy stood in front of Hyogoro, focusing on recalling the key points of using it.

"Go to hell!" But the old lady didn't care and threw a punch right away.

"Boom!"

The old woman's punch sent Luffy and Hyogoro flying, embedding them directly into the wall.

"I told you it wouldn't work!" a jailer shouted from the side.

"Luffy!" Chopper and Kiku were also quite worried, but as a rubber man, Luffy was naturally not defeated by such an attack. After pulling Hyogoro out, the two continued to run away.

The angry Big Mom rushed over again when she saw that Luffy was still alive.

Hyogoro, who was pretending to be dead, immediately separated from Luffy upon seeing this. He realized that Big Mom's only goal was to get Luffy to admit that he had eaten the red bean soup, so he would be safe as long as he separated from Luffy.

So Luffy ran ahead, with Big Mom chasing behind, turning the prison into a complete mess, and even alarming the nearby prison ironworks.

In the end, Luffy and Big Mom caused chaos everywhere, and by the time Queen regained his senses, the two had already disappeared.

"Heh...that guy, always like this!" The dark figure standing at the highest point chuckled as he watched the farcical scene unfold.

"Do you know the guy wearing the straw hat?" Kang asked curiously.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!" The tall, dark figure glanced at the Kang family and said softly.

"I'm sorry!" Kang Jia immediately bowed his head and said.

In the quarry, a sober Quinn stood up and addressed everyone: "We can't let that old woman do whatever she wants anymore! I have a plan... We only have one chance, and if it fails... we're finished!"

"Lord Quinn!" The jailers seemed to have found their anchor when they saw Quinn.

“Listen up, everyone! This old lady is like a wild boar. If she keeps rampaging like this, she’ll definitely come back here! Then… you guys distract her, and I’ll jump down from up there and knock her unconscious!” Quinn said, pointing to the highest point.

But when he looked up, he saw two people shrouded in trench coats standing there, and immediately asked in surprise, "Who are those people?"

It was only then that everyone realized there were two other unidentified individuals there.

"Oh no, sir! We've been discovered!" Kang Jia said in a panic upon seeing the situation.

"Don't be afraid, he's just a nobody. If I didn't want to reveal my identity, I could easily take him down!" The tall, dark figure chuckled and said.

"It's too late, Lord Quinn, the old lady is coming soon!" At this moment, the jailer informed Quinn of the situation with the old lady.

Quinn knew that the most important thing to deal with now was the old lady, so he ignored the two Kang family members and went straight to the top.
