Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Chapter 1111 Nika Form

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Luffy did not recognize him, nor did he know that he was one of the so-called Five Elders, but he could feel a powerful energy from him.

Instinctively, Luffy knew that the person in front of him was definitely a strong one.

"Who are you?" Unlike others, Luffy is used to asking questions instead of guessing when he doesn't know something.

“Me?” Jegalsia Satan Saint smiled slightly and said, “One of the Five Elders of the World Government, you can call me Jegalsia Satan Saint! Straw Hat Luffy… your ability is extremely dangerous, so I, on behalf of the God Clan, must reclaim your ability!”

"Huh?" Luffy tilted his head, completely unaware of what the other person was saying, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Your name is so long! And what is the God Clan?"

He asked the question simply because he didn't know the answer; he had no intention of looking down on or insulting the other person.

However, Jegalsia Satan Saint saw these words as an insult to their race of gods. As a Celestial Dragon, and especially as one of the Five Elders who ruled the World Government, Jegalsia Satan Saint was somewhat angered.

"Boy, go to hell and repent for your words and deeds!" Jegarcia Satan Saint clenched his fists, and an invisible energy seemed to grab Luffy.

At this moment, Luffy appears flustered and comical, his body constantly changing with the energy, like a rubber band being squeezed in someone's hand.

"Hahahaha... It tickles! I'm not playing with you anymore!" Luffy, who had been caught, suddenly burst out laughing, then casually transformed and slipped away from the energy of Jegarcia Satan Saint.

"Phew~ You were so dangerous!" Luffy, still somewhat shaken after escaping, looked at Jegarcia Satan Saint and said.

"Luffy, be careful! He's one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government! They've always been in charge of the World Government!" At this moment, Jinbe, who was with Sanji, realized that the Five Elders had actually attacked Luffy and immediately shouted a warning to him.

"Fishman? You're Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, right? Why did you give up being a Shichibukai and come to fight against God? Have you fishmen been living too well these past few years? Have you forgotten the lessons you learned?" Jegarcia Satan Saint glanced at Jinbe and said softly.

Jinbe was speechless. What was this? Was it a threat?

Seeing Jinbe remain silent, Jegalsia Satan Saint chuckled. He didn't even consider the mere fish-men a threat. His real target was the Straw Hat boy who had awakened the Nika-no-Fruit; that was the future threat.

Of course, in his opinion, the Straw Hat Boy is still a bit lacking, so there's no need to rush. His main purpose in leaving Mary Geoise this time wasn't for the Straw Hat Boy; he just wanted to deal with him if he encountered him.

However, he did not expect that what was originally a simple matter would not only involve Shanks, but also alarm the Whitebeard Pirates. If it is not handled quickly, the subsequent situation will probably become more troublesome.

That's why he chose to act at this time. Firstly, he could save the Seraphim, since that thing is quite expensive. Secondly, he could quickly end the battle. Once he defeated the Straw Hat Pirates, the enemy's morale would inevitably collapse.

However, Luffy, who has awakened his Nikka form, is not so easy to defeat.

The deployment of the Five Elders greatly boosted the morale of the Navy and the World Government, making their offensive even more intense.

Marco sighed. He had originally intended to deliberately delay, thinking that once Reina's reinforcements arrived, the Navy would inevitably retreat. Even with the Five Elders here, he would never dare to confront three Yonko pirate crews head-on.

However, the other side seemed to have no intention of delaying them any longer. So, the moment the Five Elders were deployed, Marco unleashed his full power, forcing back two Seraphim units before rushing towards Luffy's side.

If the Straw Hat Pirates are killed, then even if they go after the World Government, it will be too late.

Therefore, Marco knew that ensuring the Straw Hat Boy's safety was his top priority.

Like Marco, Shanks also stopped holding back and went all out to fight Kizaru.

The intervention of the Five Elders intensified the battle across the entire battlefield.

After Luffy activated Nika Mode, his strength became unpredictable, which is because he hasn't been able to fully digest the power of the Devil Fruit yet. However, as he uses it more and more and his own abilities grow stronger, he will one day be able to completely master the power of the Nika Fruit.

"Hahahaha..." Just then, Luffy suddenly burst into laughter, attracting the attention of Jegarcia Satan Saint as well.

"Kid... what are you laughing at?" Jegarcia Satan Saint looked at Luffy and asked.

"I'm so happy!" Luffy replied cheerfully. "I can feel your energy, enough for me to have a good fight. My crew is also fired up, this is the kind of battle we need! I... am going to be the Pirate King!"

"The Pirate King?" Jegarcia Satan Saint looked at Luffy with some confusion and said, "I heard you've already reached the final island, right? You've already done what Roger did back then. You could call yourself the Pirate King now without any problem. After all, in this world, only you guys can get there!"

"The final island? That's not the end!" Luffy grinned and said, "On this vast sea... the freest person is the Pirate King!"

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Jegarcia Satan Saint, throwing a punch at him.

Jegalsia Satan Saint did not dodge, but instead crossed his arms and blocked directly in front of his chest.

Before the two even made contact, a powerful energy collision erupted in mid-air, and Luffy's Conqueror's Haki, like black lightning, swirled around his body.

"Not bad, you can actually use Conqueror's Haki now. You truly deserve the title of one of the Four Emperors! But compared to me... you're still a bit lacking!" Jegarcia Satan Saint said with some appreciation.

"Oh!"

"Pfft~~~"

As soon as Jegalsia Satan Saint finished speaking, without making any move, Luffy was directly knocked away, spraying a trail of blood in the air.

"Luffy?" Zoro, who had just defeated Kaku, was quite surprised to see Luffy being knocked away by the enemy in a single move.

Chapter 1112 Zoro's Attack

Luffy was knocked away by Jegarcia Satan Saint in just one exchange, which was completely unexpected by everyone.

It's worth noting that after Luffy activated his Nikka form, although he acted somewhat recklessly, his strength was undeniable.

The fact that he was knocked away in a single exchange was hard for the Straw Hat crew to believe.

However, Luffy seemed to be unharmed. After being knocked away, he grabbed a nearby warship, which seemed to turn into rubber. He used the elasticity of the rubber to quickly rush back.

"Hehehe... You really are amazing, but your ability seems strange. What kind of ability is it? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!" After returning, Luffy didn't immediately attack. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Jegarcia Satan Saint, saying.

"Does it feel familiar? Then you're right, Sun God Nika! This time I will kill you completely and seal you in the depths of the boundless sea, so that you will never see the light of day again!" Jegarcia Satan Saint smiled slightly and said softly.

"I'm not Nika! I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy grinned and retorted, "And this time, the one getting blasted away... will be you!"

As he spoke, Luffy launched another attack on Jegalsia Satan Saint. This time, he was not easily knocked away by Jegalsia Satan Saint, and the two began to fight back and forth.

"We can't go on like this, Jinbe. Let's go back to the Sunny and find a way to break through the Navy's encirclement!" Sanji, who had regained his composure, said to Jinbe beside him.

“Okay!” Jinbe nodded, and the two headed straight for the location of the Sunny. However, Lucci and Seraph Hawkeye soon arrived as well, and the surrounding Marines and World Government personnel continued to attack them, preventing their people from regrouping.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom~~~"

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly came from the battlefield on Marco's side.

Amidst the flames, Seraphim Strait, carrying Seraphim Empress with her severed arm, quickly left the explosion site.

"Ok?"

The commotion on Marco's side naturally attracted the attention of the others, but Marco didn't care and said with a smile, "It seems your Seraph... isn't mature enough yet!"

"Damn it, we can't let him continue to cause destruction!" Upon seeing this, a vice admiral immediately rallied the surrounding navy and World Government personnel, and charged towards Marco.

"Wow~~ As expected of the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was able to deal with two Seraphs and win in such a short time. That's amazing!" Kizaru, who was fighting Shanks, also noticed the commotion on Marco's side. However, what Kizaru was really thinking behind his sunglasses was probably only known to himself.

Meanwhile, Shanks naturally noticed the commotion on Marco's side, but unlike Kizaru, Shanks was aware of Marco's increased strength, as he had also noticed that his companions' strength had increased since arriving in the North Blue.

That's right, that's the power of destiny.

If you don't experience it firsthand, no matter how convincing someone else's account sounds, you won't believe it.

Therefore, Kizaru, who had never fought against extraterrestrial visitors in the North Blue, simply couldn't believe Marco's growth!

The current Marco is not the same as the Marco of the past. If Kizaru were to fight Marco, he would be even more surprised.

Marco's outburst provided the Straw Hat crew with an opening, as he drew more troops away, reducing the pressure on the others.

With Franky's help, Sanji and Jinbe finally made it back to the Sunny. However, the Sunny was unable to set sail and had been damaged in many places by the Navy and the World Government.

If Franky hadn't been on board, the Sunny would probably have been captured by the Navy by now.

"Bang bang bang..."

With the addition of Sanji and Jinbe, the Marines on the Sunny were quickly wiped out, but Zoro's side was caught in a fierce battle, and his injuries increased significantly.

"Take him out first!" Lucci, working with Kaku, launched a series of attacks on Zoro, leaving Zoro somewhat overwhelmed.

"Take me down? That depends on whether you have the ability!" Zoro took a deep breath and shouted, "Three-Sword Style: Six Paths Tsuji!"

Just as Zoro made his move, Kaku suddenly felt a sense of panic. Although Zoro was still in the same spot, he didn't know why, but he felt as if he had already been hit by the opponent.

"Hey~"

"Kaku!"

The instant Zoro disappeared, Lucci's eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly to Kaku beside him.

"Pfft!"

Kaku first felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then saw Zoro disappear from the spot.

"What a... impressive guy!" Seeing the large patch of blood blooming on his chest, Kaku knew he had completely lost.

"If you weren't strong, I wouldn't be able to defeat you!" Zoro, who was now behind Kaku, slowly stood up and said.

"Damn it!" But Lucci was furious. Kaku was a brother who fought alongside him. Of the original CP9 members, only Kaku had stayed with him until now. The others were no longer strong enough to keep up with them. So Kaku's fall to Zoro's hands once again ignited Lucci's anger.

"Ten-Finger Gun - Hunt!" Zoro, who had just stood up, encountered Lucci's strange attack and could only hastily use his weapon to block in front of him.

However, Zoro was clearly unable to defend himself against the enraged Lucci.

"Oh!"

"Waaah~"

Lucci's ten-finger gun deflected Zoro's weapon and struck Zoro directly, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You're...doomed today! No one can save you!" Lucci didn't stop. After uttering this harsh threat, he launched another attack on Zoro.

"Clang clang clang..."

The injured Zoro could only barely fend off Lucci's fierce attacks while retreating in an attempt to create distance and give himself time to catch his breath.

"Shave! Tempest Kick! Finger Pistol!" Lucci, in his awakened state, unleashed a barrage of Six Powers attacks on Zoro as if they were free.

Although activating these moves requires a certain amount of stamina, as an awakened Zoan-type user, Lucci has no shortage of stamina.

Lucci's frenzied attacks inflicted numerous wounds on Zoro, while also unleashing Zoro's most ferocious side.

"when!"

Just as Lucci threw a punch at Zoro, intending to severely injure him, Zoro blocked Lucci's attack with the Wado Ichimonji on his mouth.

"Nine-Sword Style of Demonic Aura: Nine Flashes of the Demon!"

Zoro's eyes turned blood red as he stared at Lucci, then he vanished completely.

The moment Lucci saw Zoro's eyes, even though he was a seasoned warrior, he couldn't help but tremble. That was truly the look of an Asura from hell.

"Iron Block - Steel!"
