Chapter 363

New World, Thousand Sunny.

"Nami, when will we reach the next island! I'm so bored!" Luffy said listlessly.

"We'll be there soon. It's getting late now, we'll arrive tomorrow morning."

"Yay!" Luffy immediately regained his energy.

Watching Luffy rush off, Nami couldn't help but shake her head. He was already the Pirate King, yet he was still Move Move Like a child. Honestly.

"Nami-san, are you tired? This is a dessert I carefully prepared for you. Please accept my love-filled cooking!"

"Thank you, Sanji-san." Nami automatically ignored the second half of Sanji's sentence.

Sanji grinned and turned to find Robin. Seeing that Robin's expression was a bit unusual, Sanji couldn't help but ask: "Robin-san, are you in a bad mood?"

Robin squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine."

Sanji immediately went into "simp" mode and asked with concern: "Robin-chan, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you let Chopper take a look?"

"No, it's fine. Just let me be alone for a while. Thank you for your concern, Sanji-san."

Sanji chuckled and scratched his head: "Not at all, Robin. If you feel unwell or want to eat anything, be sure to tell me in advance!"

Robin nodded with a smile. After Sanji left, she took out a Vivre Card from her bosom and muttered to herself.

"It's getting closer and closer..."

Watching the Vivre Card moving in her palm, Robin let out a long sigh.

This was Karl's Vivre Card, which Karl had handed to her personally.

In this situation, there was only one possibility: Karl was constantly approaching the Thousand Sunny.

If this were before they reached Laugh Tale, she wouldn't think too much of it, but now, they had successfully reached Laugh Tale, and Luffy had become the Pirate King.

Just when the newspaper headlines were all about them, Karl suddenly showed up. What exactly was his attitude?

Robin didn't dare to think too deeply, because she understood that the Marines would never sit idly by as they had before.

But she was hesitant about whether to tell everyone. If things were really as she thought, then no matter how they tried to escape, they wouldn't be able to, so it would be better to settle it sooner.

"Sigh, I hope I'm just overthinking it..."

The next day, Ditrier Island.

"Ah, finally we can restock on ingredients. But the atmosphere on this island seems a bit strange!" Sanji looked at the deserted town and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Indeed, it's too strange. The traces of life here are very obvious, but the residents seem to have suddenly moved away..." Zoro picked up a half-eaten radish dropped on the ground, his expression solemn.

Luffy said carelessly: "Isn't that great? Otherwise, it would be Move Move Like the last island."

"Who are you!!!"

The people present tensed up and turned their heads toward the port: "Is that Franky's voice? Oh no, is someone attacking?"

Thousand Sunny.

Peng En looked at the tall Franky and said calmly: "I am Marine Vice Admiral Peng En. As for my purpose here..."

Peng En slowly squatted down and touched the lawn of the Thousand Sunny with his right hand.

Franky decisively aimed his weaponized right arm at Peng En and roared: "What did you do to the Thousand Sunny?"

Peng En did not answer. After nodding slightly at Franky, he flew directly into the sky.

Franky frowned. The arrival of the Marines gave him an ominous premonition. Just as he was about to notify Luffy and the others, the ship suddenly began to move.

"What's going on?" Franky steadied himself and ran over, only to find that in just this short time, the Thousand Sunny had already reached high altitude. Then, Franky froze.

There was actually a Marine warship in the sky?

Ditrier Island.

"Franky!" "What happened? Why is the Thousand Sunny flying into the sky?"

"Damn it! I'm going to save Franky and the Thousand Sunny!" Luffy shook his hands, turning his body into a spring, wanting to launch himself into the sky.

"Wait, Luffy, a ship is coming down from the sky! Is that... a warship?"

Robin's pupils shrank. Sure enough, the worst-case scenario had happened.

The warship didn't fly down to the sea surface, but hovered in mid-air, and then a dozen figures descended from the sky.

The earth trembled, and dust filled the air.

Sanji was panting, looking at the indifferent Akainu, thinking in his heart that Jinbe had already fallen... Now only he, Zoro, and Luffy were left.

As the dust settled, nearly 30 Marines stood before the Straw Hat crew, their gazes filled with excitement, disgust, coldness...

"You can go back now, Franky!"

Karl, standing in the center, patted Franky on the head and kicked him back to the Straw Hat crew's position.

"Franky!"

Luffy quickly grew larger and caught Franky: "Franky, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. The Marines didn't make things difficult for me."

Karl grinned: "Because making things difficult for you alone isn't our goal. Today, our goal is to make things difficult for all of you!"

The Straw Hat crew had different expressions. Zoro and Sanji looked at the surrounding Marines with vigilance. Good grief, they really valued them!

A Marine hero, three Admirals, two Admiral candidates, and a bunch of famous veteran Vice Admirals—none of them were pushovers. They hadn't felt it much before, but now they truly realized that the Marines were worthy of being the strongest force in the world.

The coward trio had already started huddling together, looking at the surrounding Marines with trepidation. They were still young; they didn't want to go to jail!!!

Jinbe sighed: "This is trouble..."

And how! The ship had been taken, and their only retreat was the sea. But what about Luffy, Chopper, Brook, and Robin?

Garp, standing behind Karl, let out a long sigh, walked to the front, and looked at Luffy with determined eyes: "A-Fei, stop now! It's not too late to turn back!"

Just as Garp finished speaking, Luffy roared: "I don't want to!"

He had finally become the Pirate King, the first step in realizing his dream. How could it end Move Move Like this?

Garp roared angrily: "Damn it! Luffy, you idiot, this is not the time for you to be willful. You're an adult now, why are you still acting Move Move Like a child? Can you be more mature? Can you stop making your grandfather worry?"

Luffy was uncharacteristically silent for a long moment and lowered his head. But after a while, Luffy pressed his hand on his straw hat, looked up at Garp, and said calmly.

"No, Grandpa, you're right, I should be more mature. But precisely because of that, I will never surrender."

"I want to be the freest man in the world. How could I stop just because of you?"

"Come on! You are..."

Before he could finish, Garp could no longer hold back. After erupting with a terrifying aura, he raised his massive black iron fist and charged at Luffy.

In his view, even if Luffy were to be defeated, it had to be by his hand.

"Grandpa! Don't think I'm afraid of you. I'm already very strong now!!!"

"Gear Fourth!"

Accompanied by a sound of inflation, Luffy's body grew larger Move Move Like a balloon, and red patterns and scorching steam shone on his pitch-black body.

This was a duel between grandfather and grandson; the others didn't want to intervene, nor did they have any reason to.

After all, Garp still carried a lot of weight among the Marines.

"Awooo~"

Accompanied by a wail, Luffy clutched his head and rolled on the ground. It was clear that Garp's punch was definitely for real—it wasn't Conqueror's Haki infusion, but it was better than Conqueror's Haki infusion. Worthy of being the previous generation's Marine hero; he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Luffy, are you going to surrender or not?"

"No, absolutely not! I'm going to blow you away!!!"

Bang~

Luffy launched himself into the air, his feet constantly kicking the air, allowing him to fly in the sky Move Move Like a manual jet.

"Gomu Gomu no... King Kong Gun!!!"

*Clang-clang-clang-clang*~ Luffy's massive fist finished charging, and then he shot toward Garp Move Move Like a meteor.

Garp showed no fear in his eyes, calmly twisted his neck, and his fist became pitch black, with lightning faintly winding around it.

At this moment, both the Marines and the Straw Hat crew were watching the show, but Karl didn't want to waste any more time.

"Ahem..."
