Chapter 340

~3 min read 588 words

The anxious look on his face swiftly vanished,

and in its place,

came a gaze of pity and sympathy directed at Shura!

Seeing that Shura still didn't seem to have reacted,

Luffy even considerately pointed behind him!

At the same time,

a familiar voice rang out from behind Shura!

"You seem to be laughing quite happily..."

The instant he heard that voice,

Shura felt every hair on his body stand on end,

cold sweat pouring down his back!

Those familiar words,

instantly reminded him of a certain scene from over a month ago!

Together with him, one of the four Divine Officials under Enel,

Satori, who controlled the Ball Trial,

that man whose build and shape was like an actual ball!

Shura still remembered to this day,

back then,

that man had suddenly appeared behind Satori,

and said exactly this line!

Immediately after,

Satori turned into a shooting star and vanished over the horizon!

No one knew where he'd been forcibly teleported to,

or whether he could even survive reaching the ground...

Well,

come to think of it,

at that height,

the moment he touched the ground alive,

would probably be the moment of his death...

Before,

Shura really hadn't thought that much about it!

After all, the one kicked flying was Satori,

not him!

Although they were both among the four Divine Officials,

their relationship wasn't all that great!

But now it was different,

if he could,

Shura really wanted to ask Satori,

what's it like flying through the sky?

Or perhaps,

was there anything to watch out for at the moment of takeoff?

Like, what kind of posture to pick so you'd fly a shorter distance, that sort of thing...

Because,

next,

it seemed he was about to take off too!

The instant he realized who the person standing behind him was,

Shura's entire body trembled uncontrollably!

At the same time,

Shura's brain spun at top speed,

analyzing why Li Xiao had suddenly appeared here,

and was about to kick him flying at any moment!

Shura might not be considered smart,

but he was certainly no fool either!

After quickly reviewing the events of just now in his mind,

he soon locked his target onto Nami, whom he was gripping in his hands!

After all,

earlier, after fighting Straw Hat for so long,

he had zapped nearly everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates,

yet Li Xiao still hadn't made any move!

Yet the moment he laid hands on this woman,

Li Xiao appeared!

Thinking of this,

Asura hurriedly released Nami from his grasp,

carefully placed her back on the ground,

even taking care to help her stand upright,

and even went so far as to brush a speck of dust from Nami's back!

Then,

Asura slowly turned his head,

toward that familiar man behind him,

forced out a smile uglier than crying,

and stammered:

"You, you said you wouldn't kill me, right?"

Li Xiao reached out and pulled Nami into his embrace,

glanced at him,

and said expressionlessly:

"Correct, I will not kill you!"

Hearing this,

Asura was instantly stunned!

Wait, what the heck?

Did I hear that wrong?

He really won't kill me?

This plot development is wrong!

The way Li Xiao looked just now,

clearly showed he was ready to slice him to death with a sword at any moment!

He had only asked out of panic and instinct,

but he never expected,

that Li Xiao would truly not kill him!

For a moment,

Asura felt something was off somewhere,

but couldn't say what!
