Chapter 183

As he spoke, Lei Li also drew his sword.

The blade was covered in advanced Armament Haki flow of cherry blossoms, and with a single strike, he forced Zoro to retreat.

Zoro stepped back several paces, but instead of fear, he felt joy.

"What immense power! Truly worthy of the man called the Dark King; he is perfectly suited to be my opponent!"

According to the normal plot progression,

Zoro should have been unable to defeat Lei Li under any circumstances; Lei Li's strike just now would have been enough to instantly kill him.

But the Zoro of now is different.

He had consumed Dragon-level Monster Cells, trained in the Gravity Chamber for so many days, and regarding Haki, he received personal guidance from Luo Xing.

His strength, even if still not comparable to Lei Li's, would not be too far off.

"Oni Giri: Nine Sword Style: Asura: Demon Flash!"

Zoro transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form and charged at Lei Li once more.

Facing the thick demonic aura and sword energy radiating from the Nine Sword Style, Lei Li dared not respond as he had just now.

He dared not be careless, so he stopped, held his sword with both hands, and stood ready for Zoro's Blade Flow Swordsmanship.

On the other side.

Enel grumbled in dissatisfaction:

"That green-haired algae is too good at stealing the spotlight. He's fighting so fiercely; how is the old man supposed to intervene!"

With Zoro and Lei Li engaged in a fierce clash, Enel's Lei Ting had absolutely no room to intervene.

Luo Xing turned his gaze toward Enel and said:

"Your moment to appear is coming soon; do not embarrass me."

At first, Enel felt puzzled, but immediately his Observation Haki sensed a group of unwelcome guests arriving at the Sabaody coast.

Enel exclaimed with great joy:

"Rest assured, Young Master!"

At that moment, the Empress arrived beside Luo Xing and said with loving eyes full of affection:

"It must be the Navy and that Zhengfuna Gang; let me go deal with them for you."

The fact that Luo Xing had calmly killed three Celestial Dragons for her just now had caused Hancock to fall completely.

Even if it meant turning against the World Government for Luo Xing and losing the title of Warlord of the Sea, she did not care at all.

Luo Xing took Hancock's jade hand and said:

"It is not yet time for you to clash with the Navy; just watch from the sidelines for now."

Held by Luo Xing's large hand, the Empress felt a wave of dizziness and happiness surge to her heart.

Like a young girl, she obediently nodded:

"I will listen to you."

At the Sabaody coast.

The arrivals were none other than Huang Yuan, Tsuru, and Bear of the Navy, along with several CP0 members.

"Oh my, oh my, I sensed a very powerful shockwave; this battle is truly no small matter!"

Huang Yuan said with a crooked smile.

Tsuru glanced at Huang Yuan and reminded him:

"Borsalino, do not forget that Sengoku promised you a raise; this time you cannot act like you did on Punk Hazard!"

Huang Yuan declared with solemn righteousness:

"Of course; I am the absolute guardian of justice!"

Tsuru was speechless.

The absolute guardian of justice? Who in the Navy doesn't know your justice is ambiguous?

You are only doing this because of the raise Sengoku promised!

The CP0 leader said:

"In any case, comrades of the Navy, this time we must work together to eliminate the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing; this is the order of the Five Elders!"

The group set foot on Sabaody Island.

Several strong ones planned to move ahead first, while ordinary marines would form ranks and follow as quickly as possible.

And the first to act was none other than the Tyrant Bear.

Bear sensed that the Dragon's son was in danger!

Watching Bear's back, Huang Yuan let out an ambiguous sigh:

"It seems Bear also wants to have a big fight!"

159. Top-tier Great Battle! Goro Goro no Mi vs. Pika Pika no Mi! Eight Hundred Million Volts · Lei Zhi Kirin!

Bartholomew Bear is a Paramecia-type user of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi.

This fruit ability is extremely buggy; it can not only repel any attack from an enemy, but even bounce out pain and fatigue from within the human body and transfer it to others.

Although Bear's physique is huge, under the elasticity of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, he can easily achieve teleportation, moving very fast.

He quickly arrived at the slave auction house.

Huang Yuan, the CP0 leader, and Tsuru followed closely behind.

Seeing the Warlords of the Sea, Navy Admirals, CP0, and veteran elders of the previous generation arrive together,

all the Supernovas gasped in shock.

Capone Bege did not hesitate and decisively vanished.

In fact, he was the fastest to run, having quietly retreated long ago.

After all, being from the underworld, his sense of danger remained extremely sharp.

Jewelry Bonney, upon seeing Kuma, Kizaru, and the others, shrank her neck back.

Between her and Kuma, the Marines, and the World Government lay some unclear and unexplainable relationship; if discovered, it would bring trouble.

Jewelry Bonney used her ability to transform herself into a seven or eight-year-old girl, darted through the crowd, and vanished in a flash.

On the roof.

Except for Drake,

Apoo, Urouge, and Hawkins all felt their hearts pounding.

More and more big shots were appearing; their situation grew increasingly dangerous.

"Our survival rate is now only thirty percent."

Hawkins said.

Urouge laughed:

"The legendary Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, the King of the Underworld Lei Li, plus Marine Admirals, CP0, and the Seven Warlords—so many big shots gathered in one place, what an exhilarating moment! Even if we die, we can die with no regrets!"

From the conversation just now between Lei Li, Franky, and others, they had already learned Luo Xing's true identity and were all horrified.

No wonder that man could easily match the King of the Underworld Lei Li in Conqueror's Haki; it turned out he was that utterly mysterious Fifth Emperor of the seas!

For this man, the Marines sending an Admiral and CP0 in such a luxurious lineup was no longer strange at all.

Apoo's eyes flickered, unknown what scheme he was hatching, and he said:

"I still don't want to die..."

But in his heart, he thought: The Beasts Pirates are now the strongest of the Four Emperors; they dare even kill Celestial Dragons, and they fear neither the Marines nor the World Government at all. Only such a pirate crew can ultimately ascend the Throne!

Just as in the original story, Apoo Seemingly Already had the intention to defect to the Beasts Pirates.

With the arrival of the Marines' powerful combat strength,

the situation grew increasingly tense and subtle.

Even Lei Li, deep inside, could not help but feel anxious.

One Beasts crew alone already kept him from being free; now the Marines had arrived too, and at least two figures of Admiral level had come.

Now,

he had not the slightest confidence in protecting Luffy completely.

But the arrival of the Marines was not entirely a bad thing.

The threat posed by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing to the World Government was clearly greater than Luffy's.

The Marines' and CP0's primary mission should be capturing the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, right?

In that case, Lei Li might be able to fish in troubled waters and rescue Straw Hat Luffy.

But something unexpected to Lei Li happened,
