Chapter 107

Ah, this......

The Straw Hat Pirates exchanged glances, seemingly out of options.

"We can only force our way through!" Luffy said firmly. "I have to see Mr. Bingshan!"

Although it's a bit reckless......

There's no better way.

"We'll cover you."

"Let's go!"

"Charge......"

"Wait!"

"Someone's coming!"

One figure after another darted out from the darkness; they could actually run on the air, nimbly leaping over the human wall formed by the citizens and breaking into the mansion.

"The real culprits have appeared!"

"We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

"Quick!"

The Straw Hat Pirates hurriedly revealed themselves as well, confusing the citizens.

"Wasn't that the Straw Hat Pirates who just went past?"

"They're four people short."

"And exactly four people just went past too!"

"They must be their accomplices!"

"Don't let them through! Stop them!"

The citizens refused to listen to Luffy's group at all, surrounding them with weapons in hand.

"No way around it then, fight!"

"Don't hit too hard."

"The flat of a blade won't kill anyone."

The Straw Hat Pirates' current combat power was skyrocketing; these citizens were no match for them at all.

Nami's lightning,

Luffy's wild punches,

Sanji's kicking techniques,

Zoro's blade flats—

They quickly carved out a path, allowing Luffy and Zoro to break into the mansion.

The others, meanwhile, blocked the entrance, keeping the citizens from rushing in to cause trouble.

Shipwrights lay in pools of blood all along the way; that earlier group had truly been going for the kill!

"Ah—"

A wail guided Luffy and his companion down the path. The two sprinted over and just caught sight of the attackers from earlier, all cloaked in long robes and wearing animal masks.

And......

27. For My Friends! Let's Cause a Huge Ruckus!

And Bingshan was currently lying on the ground, pinned beneath the foot of an iron-tower-like brute, clutching a pile of documents tightly, with an open safe beside him.

He was the one who had let out that wail just now.

"Bastards! Let Mr. Bingshan go!"

Furious, Luffy threw a punch straight out, slamming it into the iron-tower brute's body, yet failed to budge him in the slightest—it was like striking a slab of steel.

"Shwa shwa shwa—"

Multiple hands sprouted from Bingshan's body, forcibly snatching the documents he was protecting and handing them to one of them, a person wearing a leopard-print mask.

That person merely flipped through them a few times before casually tossing them aside.

"Mr. Bingshan, don't try to fool me with these. Where exactly are the real Pluton blueprints!"

"Before massive casualties occur, please hand them over to me."

Bingshan was stunned!

That voice......

"Who exactly are you people?!"

"Recognized them?"

The few of them dropped their disguises, each pulling off their hood.

It was precisely the Galley-La shipwrights Lucci, Kaku, secretary Kalifa, as well as the tavern owner Blueno, and......

"Robin! How can you be with them?" Luffy demanded. "Was it really you who attacked Mr. Bingshan? What exactly is going on here?"

However......

Robin merely gazed at Luffy calmly.

"Have you all forgotten my nickname? I'm known as the Devil Child—betrayal is nothing out of the ordinary for me, isn't it?"

That tone,

carried more mockery than narration.

Zoro couldn't help but frown, his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

It couldn't be...

It's really her!

"What about Lord Sima?" Luffy demanded. "Even Lord Sima couldn't keep you here?"

Robin suddenly fell silent.

"Now isn't the time for you two to catch up," Lucci cut in. "We of CP9 are carrying out..."

"Get lost!"

Luffy and Zoro roared in unison, fist and sword lashing out together at the four CP9 agents!

The iron tower-like Bruno suddenly appeared before them, tensing his body and once again activating "Marine Six Powers—Oceanic Surge—Wave Devastation—Tidal Crush—Flood Surge—Tsunami Impact—Abyssal Tempest."

"Boom—"

"Splat—"

Bruno was sent flying outright!

Fresh blood splashed across the air, showing that his defense had already been breached.

—This time, Luffy and the other had directly used Armament Haki!

Although it was only at a beginner's level,

against the CP9, who only knew the Marine Six Powers, it was still an overwhelming advantage!

"Oh? Armament Haki?" Lucci said in surprise. "It seems the Marines' bounty on you two is still a bit low."

He directly activated his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into his leopard form.

"The enemy is too strong, Robin. It looks like our agreement will have to be called off."

"Move out! Try to leave them alive!"

Including the injured Bruno, they all moved at once, activating "Marine Six Powers—Oceanic Surge—Wave Devastation—Tidal Crush—Flood Surge—Tsunami Impact—Abyssal Tempest."

"Clang!"

Armament Haki transformed into an invisible armor, blocking all the damage.

Luffy and the other counterattacked once more!

But Lucci and the other three drifted through the air like sheets of paper, letting Zoro's slashes and Luffy's fists barely graze past them.
