The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"They keep asking why, Donley!"

Donley, carrying his longsword, stepped forward as well, saying, "There's only inevitability in this world, Brogy."

"We've come to pick you up, Straw Hat Boy!!"

"Sun God!"

"Should we stop for a moment and deal with that small warship?"

Dongli glanced at the naval warship that looked remarkably "miniature" next to the giant ship.

He glanced again at the intense battle emanating from the island, a resolute glint in his eyes:

"No. Charge straight there! Our goal is to pick up Luffy! We don't have time to waste on this little trouble!"

"Besides... if they get in the way, we can just run them over!"

The two giant captains spoke in loud, undisguised voices.

The news reached the distant warships, making the naval personnel's hearts leap into their throats!

The Giant Warrior Pirates clearly didn't take their ship seriously and intended to ignore or even crush it!

Just as Brogy raised his giant axe and Dorry shouldered his longsword, the two giant captains prepared to attack.

Like swatting a fly, they swept the "obstructive" warship and its crew into the sea, clearing the way for the massive convoy...

A dark green flying slash came without warning from the direction of the coast!

This slash wasn't particularly massive (relative to a giant), but its speed, sharpness, and the sheer purity of its intent to sever the opponent's will were remarkable.

This caused both Dorry and Brogy, two battle-hardened giants, to change their expressions drastically at the same time!

Danger! !

Their fighting instincts erupted instantly!

Almost simultaneously, the massive body displayed astonishing agility that belied its size, leaping suddenly to the sides!

"Sizzle!!!"

The instant the two jumped away, the slash struck the massive flagship pirate ship beneath their feet.

From bow to stern, it was all done cleanly and efficiently...

Divide into two!

The massive ship groaned under the strain, slowly splitting open to the sides and capsizing!

The other giant crew members on board cried out and fell into the sea, or jumped onto other nearby giant ships!

Dorry and Brogy each landed on a nearby giant warship, their expressions turning serious.

The previous ease and arrogance have vanished.

His eyes were like torches, fixed intently on the direction from which the slash came.

The coast of Egherd.

On a towering reef on the coast, a tall and solitary figure stood quietly.

He wore a black top hat adorned with white fur, a burgundy shirt, and a black trench coat, the sea breeze ruffling the hem of his coat.

In his hand, he casually held a long, black sword called "Night," its ancient and ornate design pointing diagonally at the sea.

Not far behind Hawkeye

It was Zoro who failed again but didn't fall, and the two supporting each other.

The Straw Hat crew members, including Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook, and Atlas, had expressions of tension and worry on their faces.

Everyone was stunned by Hawkeye's astonishing slash and horrified by the massive fleet of giant ships before them.

Hawkeye calmly raised his gaze to look at the giant ship fleet, finally settling on Dorry and Brogy.

"If there's no boat to get back..."

“I would find it troublesome.”

He paused slightly, then twisted his wrist, the blade of "Night" reflecting the cold sunlight.

"Furthermore, I don't like reciting poetry while executing someone."

A sharp glint flashed in the eagle's pupils.

"So, my knife..."

"Faster."

Concise yet full of absolute confidence and warning.

Chapter 710 Emmett

Meanwhile, in the ruins.

Luffy was shriveled and shrunken, unable to even lift a finger.

Softly slumped against the chest of the ancient giant robot covered in rust.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where Gern was fighting in the distance.

"Damn it... I'm so hungry..."

Luffy managed to squeeze out a barely audible sound, his stomach already growling loudly with hunger.

The extreme overexertion at level five left him in a state of extreme weakness, both inside and out.

Although I wasn't completely exhausted like when I fought Blackbeard one-on-one, I was still in a lot of pain.

"That weird old man... can he win by himself?"

Luffy muttered to himself, as if asking himself a question, or perhaps cheering on Gern in the distance.

Although that uncle always had a stern face and hit hard, he had treated me to a meal before, and he was incredibly generous!

Then, his gaze laboriously shifted to the grotesque, spiky-headed creature (Im) that exuded an ominous aura.

"And... who is that pointy-headed, dark-skinned guy? His voice... is awful..."

Just as Luffy was losing consciousness and lost in thought.

[Joy Boy...]

[Joy Boy... I'm sorry...]

【Feel sorry……】

[Joy Boy...]

Luffy initially thought it was his own hallucination, or tinnitus caused by exhaustion.

But when he tried to concentrate and listen carefully, he discovered that the sound did not come from the outside.

It didn't originate from within his body, but rather seemed to come directly from the inside of the cold, hard metal of the robot's chest, which was pressed against him!

So Luffy moved even closer to the rusty and strangely patterned armor on the robot's chest.

"Is...it...you...speaking?"

Luffy asked with all his might, his voice barely audible, so soft that only he himself could hear it.

Emmett made no outward movements, remaining as still as if he had been asleep for a hundred years.

It was as if the sound just now was merely a hallucination Luffy was experiencing due to his extreme weakness.

(According to the original plot, Emmett was discovered by Luffy, Chopper, Jinbe, Bonney and others during their exploration of Egghead Island.)

Luffy attempted to climb inside the robot but failed.

Later, when Vegapunk was accidentally trapped inside the Titan during some kind of teleportation test, part of the history of this steel giant was revealed.

Finally, during Luffy's epic battle with the Five Elders, and as Nika's "Liberation Drum" resounded through the heavens...

Emmett was finally fully awakened, apologized to Joy Boy, and restarted the system.

At this moment, history took a different turn.

Luffy, alone, landed on Emmett by chance (after being flung away by Im's tentacles).

Although he was weak, Nika's "Drum of Liberation" had indeed resounded powerfully in Eghad not long ago (during the fifth gear battle).

The drumbeats, like a call that had spanned eight hundred years, seemed to faintly touch Emmett's silent core.

It wasn't fully awakened, but it produced an extremely subtle, instinctive response and whisper.

Seeing that the robot did not respond, Luffy was a little discouraged, but his innate determination to get to the bottom of things did not completely disappear even in his weakened state.

"Who...who are you?!"

Luffy raised his voice slightly and asked the cold armor.

[Joy Boy...]

The faint voice sounded again, repeating the name as if it were an obsession etched into the core of its existence.

"Joy Boy...what is that?"

Luffy tried hard to recall, but his weakened mind couldn't remember anything.

What bothered him more was that the other party seemed to have mistaken him for someone else.

So even though he was weak, Luffy still gave his full name.

"I... am not Joy Boy! I am Monkey D. Luffy!"

It deceived me... I'm sorry... Joy Boy...

Emmett's voice remained immersed in its own world.

Self-blame, sadness, and seemingly no reaction to Luffy's denial.
