Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Only by luring the enemy to the shore can the sudden appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates deliver a fatal blow.

However, Luffy had no intention of leaving at this moment. Looking at the powerful enemy in front of him, the corners of Luffy's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"What an exhilarating battle!" Even with Gear Second activated, Luffy couldn't outrun his opponent in terms of speed, which made him realize just how powerful his opponent was.

The enemy was also excited upon seeing Luffy, because if he obtained the immense power of luck that Luffy possessed, it would be enough to further enhance his strength.

So the two sides started fighting as soon as they met, without holding back at all.

"That idiot!" Nami knew from Luffy's appearance that he had completely forgotten the original plan.

"It's impossible to expect Luffy to follow the plan!" Usopp said helplessly from the side.

"What do we do now? If we can't reach the designated location, then the ambush will be pointless!" Jinbe asked anxiously.

Although the enemy reinforcements have not yet arrived, based on the previous situation, as soon as they show up, the enemy reinforcements will definitely arrive immediately.

"I'll go and call that idiot over here!" Sanji, who had been following Robin, frowned as he looked at Luffy, who was fighting.

However, before Sanji could act, a slash separated Luffy and his enemy.

"Luffy, don't forget our goal! There's no need to play around with such insignificant characters here!" It turned out that Zoro saw that Luffy hadn't retreated, so he unleashed a slash to remind Luffy.

"Hehehehe... Sorry, sorry! I forgot!" Luffy said with a chuckle.

"A nobody...?" At this moment, the extraterrestrial visitor, who had also heard Zoro's words, looked at Luffy angrily and said, "I'll kill you!"

"Huh? He can actually talk?" Luffy stared wide-eyed at the enemy opposite him and said in surprise.

"Isn't it normal for him to be able to talk? Let's go, or their reinforcements will arrive!" At this moment, Sanji also came to Luffy's side and said softly.

Luffy nodded, and then followed Sanji in preparing to retreat.

However, seeing that Luffy and his crew were planning to escape, the powerful extraterrestrial visitors naturally wouldn't let them have their way, so they joined forces and chased after Luffy.

"Alright, all we have to do now is get to the port!" Sanji said as he ran away.

However, Robin glanced back at the extraterrestrial visitors chasing after them and said, "That's strange. Why haven't their reinforcements arrived yet? They should have been here by now!"

Just as Robin finished speaking, several powerful auras suddenly appeared from the depths of the island, causing everyone to be somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Not good!" The moment these auras appeared, Robin's expression changed, and his eyes turned blood red. Two tomoe spun rapidly in his eyes, revealing the Sharingan he inherited from Reina.

Although Robin activated her Sharingan as soon as she sensed something was wrong, her companions all remained rooted to the spot.

"It's an illusion!" Robin gritted her teeth and stood in front of her companions. She wasn't controlled by the illusion, but she couldn't stop the pursuers behind her.

She didn't expect that the other side would send out a level 45 expert, who immediately used illusion magic to pull all her companions into the illusion.

"Die!" Seeing Luffy and the others stop, the extraterrestrial who had been chasing them was extremely excited and slashed at Robin, who was closest to him.

Chapter 881 Crisis

"when!"

"Boom!"

Just as the extraterrestrial visitors launched their attack on Robin, a figure suddenly appeared and stood directly in front of Robin.

"Captain Vista!" Robin called out happily upon seeing the newcomer.

"Heh heh... You bastard, where do you think this is? This is the battlefield of our Whitebeard Pirates, you can't mess around here!" Vista, who was blocking Robin's way, said to the visitor from outer space.

"Get out of my way! Or... die!" The extraterrestrial visitor was not afraid; instead, he shouted loudly at Vista.

"Robin, figure out how to rescue your friends first! Leave this to me!" Vista first pushed the enemies away, then said to Robin.

"Alright!" Seeing the other powerful extraterrestrial visitors approaching her, Robin didn't hesitate. Her two tomoe spun wildly in her eyes, and then she came directly in front of Luffy, staring into his eyes.

A moment later, blood tears streamed from Robin's eyes, while Luffy's eyes slowly began to regain their brightness.

"Huh? Huh? What happened to me?" Luffy was completely bewildered after regaining consciousness.

"Luffy! Everyone's been caught in the enemy's illusion. I'll break the illusion for you now. You protect everyone, I can't be disturbed!" Robin explained to Luffy as she walked towards Zoro.

At this moment, Luffy noticed that Vista was holding off four powerful extraterrestrials not far away. Although it had only been a short while, Vista was already injured, but he had successfully delayed all the enemies and prevented them from disturbing Robin.

"Okay, Robin, I understand!" Seeing this, Luffy stopped smiling and rushed towards Vista. He had to help Vista share the burden of the enemy, otherwise Vista definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

With Luffy joining the team, Vista's pressure was greatly reduced, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. If it had been any later, he really couldn't guarantee that he could have held off all four of them.

"Our battle was still undecided, let's continue!" Luffy went straight to the extraterrestrial who had fought him before and said loudly.

Meanwhile, Robin was trying to break Zoro's genjutsu, but his genjutsu was also very powerful. Even though the Sharingan is specifically designed to counter genjutsu, she couldn't break it immediately.

"Sharingan... Release!" As more and more blood flowed from Robin's eyes, Zoro finally regained his senses.

"What... what happened?" Unlike Luffy, Zoro, once he regained consciousness, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Robin and that her face was covered in blood.

"There's no time to explain, Luffy needs help, go help him!" Robin said weakly.

Zoro turned his head and saw Vista and Luffy fighting fiercely with four extraterrestrials, while further away, several powerful energies were rapidly approaching them.

"I'm going to help everyone break the illusion!" Robin explained with a smile, seeing the worried look in Zoro's eyes.

"Illusion? You mean we've all fallen for the enemy's illusion?" Zoro was taken aback and asked in surprise, "But the enemy didn't even get close to us, did they?"

“Yes! That illusionist is a powerful expert over level 45. He ambushed my father last time, and my father told me that the Sharingan is his nemesis. But my Sharingan level is too low; I can only keep myself from being deceived by illusions! It’s very difficult to break free from his illusions!” Robin said, catching her breath slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zoro glanced at his stunned companions, nodded, and said, "Be careful. If you really can't manage, don't force it. Try to get them away first, then rescue them! I'm going to help Luffy!"

After saying that, Zoro ran straight towards Luffy.

Robin took a deep breath and looked at Sanji and Jinbe beside her. She was dispelling the illusion based on strength. At this moment, the stronger the awakened companions were, the greater their help to the battle. Therefore, she prioritized dispelling the illusion for Luffy and Zoro.

However, the enemy's illusion was too powerful. Although she managed to break it, it consumed a lot of her eye power, and she really didn't know if she could continue to break her companion's illusion.

Even so, she did not run away, but continued to try to break the enemy's illusion.

"No... I can't take it anymore... Pfft!" Just as Robin was about to break Sanji's illusion, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her brain. She knew this was her brain protecting itself when her eye power was insufficient.

Sanji, who was still under the illusion, suddenly twitched his eyebrows and then abruptly opened his eyes.

"Robin-chan~ Are you alright!" Sanji helped Robin up as she was about to collapse, asking with a worried expression.

"Sanji?" Robin looked at Sanji in surprise and asked, "I shouldn't have been able to break through his genjutsu just now. How did you wake up?"

Robin had been forced to exit the Sharingan state, but the bloodstains on her face were still clearly visible.

"I don't know either. I just suddenly felt that Robin might be in danger, so I suddenly woke up!" Sanji shook his head, then said with a smug look, "You've really gone through a lot. You got hurt like this to save me."

“Sanji-kun… now is not the time to talk about these things…” Robin’s face darkened as she explained the current situation.

"We can't stay here any longer!" That was Sanji's first reaction.

"Luffy and the green-haired guy are over there, enough to buy us some time. Robin, I'll take you and Nami back to the shore first, and then come back to help them!" Sanji gave the best solution in an instant, but Robin was still worried.

It's not just Luffy who possesses the power of luck in the Straw Hat crew; everyone does. If they leave, the remaining crew members who are trapped in the illusion will be in danger.

"Don't worry, once we reach the shore, we can notify Marco and move the operation forward. As long as Uncle Reina arrives, that illusionist on the other side will basically be crippled!" Sanji said calmly. "With Luffy and Zoro here, they'll protect everyone. You have to trust them!"

Upon hearing this, Robin could only weakly nod and let Sanji carry her on his back.

After Sanji carried Robin on his back, he also picked up Nami, who was trapped in the illusion, and then ran towards the coastline without regard for anything else.

Sanji's actions naturally caught the attention of Luffy and Zoro, who immediately understood his meaning. Therefore, the goal of the battle was no longer to defeat the enemy, but to prevent the enemy from harming their comrades who were still under the illusion.

Chapter 882 Facing the Battle

"Luffy, this won't do! The enemy's reinforcements are on their way!" After forcing his opponent away, Zoro looked at Luffy, who was also panting heavily, and shouted.

The three of them were fighting against four opponents, and Vista had already been seriously injured while helping them, so it was essentially Luffy and Zoro fighting against the enemy alone. This kind of battle greatly depleted their stamina.

Upon hearing this, Luffy glanced at his companions who were still standing there in a daze, then nodded to Zoro and said, "Leave this to me, you take them away first!"

Zoro hadn't originally planned to do this, but he knew that if he wanted to protect his comrades, this was the only way.

Although Luffy is the enemy's primary target, as partners, they also possess immense luck, so it's impossible for them to distract the enemies.

But just as Zoro was about to make his move, a group of Whitebeard Pirates rushed towards them from the direction of the coastline.

"Phew~ It's my combat team member!" Vista's face lit up with joy upon seeing this, and he shouted loudly to his team members, "Get Cao Mao and his group away first, they've fallen under the enemy's illusion!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Fifth Division, who were about to come and help, changed direction and carried away the Straw Hat crew who were standing there dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Luffy and Zoro breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buy them some time. Once your crew is safe, we'll retreat immediately! We can't withstand their illusion masters. Only after the vice-captain arrives can we retaliate!" Vista said to Luffy and Vista after seeing his crew rescue the Straw Hat crew.

"Okay!" Luffy knew the situation was urgent, so he readily agreed.

A moment later, the three sensed the approaching aura of the powerful reinforcements from the other side. They exchanged a glance and decided to retreat. However, at that moment, the extraterrestrial being they were fighting suddenly erupted, forcibly binding them to the spot.

"Trying to escape? Dream on!" The leader of the extraterrestrials looked smugly at Vista and said, "As expected, you're all fools, actually discussing tactics in front of us. Do you think we're still the same as before, unable to understand your language? As for your first mate… he couldn't rescue you in time, he can only come to collect your corpses! Hahahaha…"

Bista was taken aback. He had forgotten that the other person could now understand their conversation. Then he felt relieved that they hadn't mentioned the operation plan during their conversation. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed to tell others if the operation failed because of this.

Zoro clearly realized this, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking. Luffy didn't react at first, but before he could speak, Zoro stopped him.

Zoro knew Luffy's personality very well. If he didn't stop this idiot, Luffy might actually reveal his entire plan.

"What idiot are you talking about? Come here if you dare, I'll beat you to a pulp!" Although Zoro stopped him, Luffy was still fuming.

"Stop wasting time talking to him, let's go!" Vista looked up at the direction deep in the alley, where several dark figures were rapidly approaching.

"Luffy... If you've got the guts, come over here and I'll beat you to a pulp!" Before leaving, Luffy made a face at the extraterrestrial visitors, instantly maximizing their hatred.

"You think you can get away? Attack!" Four extraterrestrial visitors of around level 30 instantly activated their attack, their goal being to entangle Luffy and his crew and prevent them from leaving.

Once the illusionist arrives, this piece of meat will be theirs, so the group is doing everything they can to hold off Luffy and his companions.

However, in terms of strength, Luffy and his two companions are all stronger than them. If Vista hadn't been injured before and the three of them hadn't lacked the desire to fight, these four wouldn't have been a match for the three of them.

Although the four of them were no match for Luffy and his trio in terms of strength, they could hold them off without much trouble, especially with Bistan injured. So, although Luffy and his trio wanted to leave, they couldn't make a quick retreat due to the enemy's entanglement.

Just as the group was giving chase, several figures descended from the sky and blocked Luffy and his crew's path.

"Oh no!" Vista's expression changed when he saw that his path was blocked. He said, "Straw Hat Kid, you and your friends go first. Leave this to me!"

"I'm not leaving!" Luffy replied immediately.

He understood Vista's meaning: if the three of them stayed here, they would probably all die, but if Vista stayed, Luffy and Zoro might be saved.

However, Luffy is not the kind of person who would abandon his crewmates to save his own life, so he never even considered leaving Vista here.
