Chapter 370

"I will be watching you!"

One day later... The Thousand Sunny.

*Whoosh~*

Yuan Zi carried the exhausted and unconscious Zoro, dropped him on the deck, pouted, and said, "Ooh~ It seems only your captain is left! What a terrifying guy! To think he could hold out against Karl for so long, but it's a pity, it seems you all were just holding him back!"

The only response Yuan Zi received was silence. Seeing this, she lost the interest to trade barbs, shrugged, and left directly.

"Zoro, are you okay?"

Chopper shook his head: "He still has a pulse, just too tired, he fell asleep. They... must have gone through a very difficult battle, right?"

Detir Island.

Compared to a day ago, Detir Island now looked Move Move Like it had been gnawed by a dog. A chunk missing here, a crater there; the houses and vegetation on the surface had long since become ruins. Aside from the observing Renhai Army, the only ones still fighting were Luffy and Karl.

"Still not planning to give up? Luffy, your companions have all been defeated, haven't they? Now it's just you left."

Karl looked at Luffy playfully. At this moment, Luffy didn't seem able to smile anymore. So, the optimist in Nika state wasn't mandatory after all?

"Hoo~ hoo~" Luffy's chest heaved continuously, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. He was, indeed, very tired.

He didn't know how many times he had fallen and how many times he had stood back up, but no matter how many times he rose, he could never deal effective damage to the man in front of him.

Karl was absolutely the slipperiest and most difficult enemy he had ever encountered in his life. Moreover, in front of him, he had actually lost his stamina advantage. Since his awakening, this was the first time he felt so disgusted.

He couldn't hit him, he couldn't outlast him, he could only be beaten passively, consuming his already limited, tiny bit of stamina.

If this continued, he would lose without a doubt!

"I, I will defeat you, Uncle Karl! I will never admit defeat! Come on!!! Gum-Gum..."

The Spectator Seats.

Sakazuki watched Luffy, who was gathering his spirit to fight again, and couldn't help but curl his lips. This guy's strength was somewhat beyond expectations. If he were an enemy of the Renhai Army, he would definitely be a very troublesome opponent. Even if he were confident he could defeat Luffy once, he definitely couldn't beat a Luffy who stood up again and again.

But then he thought, according to Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan's plan, if this "Pirate King" could be recruited and planned for, then he would have one more capable subordinate comparable to Karl—no, one more SSS-rank top-tier adventurer.

To have such powerful combat strength at his disposal—just thinking about it made him excited. Could this be the joy of Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan?

"Garp, persuade your grandson! Look at how many times he's fallen; don't you feel any heartache at all?" Sengoku asked, unable to bear it.

Garp shook his head: "I can't persuade this stubborn donkey. Just watch! Unless he falls completely, this silly boy will never admit defeat."

Sengoku sighed: "If only your grandson had become a member of the Renhai Army, how good that would be!"

It would have been better not to mention it; as soon as he did, Garp's anger flared up: "It's all that bastard Red-Haired's fault! He should be glad he's locked up in Impel Down right now, otherwise, I'd pluck every hair off his head no matter what!"

Sengoku chuckled, patted Garp on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Forget it, forget it. Oh, old man, have you ever thought that the pirates who once filled the seas would end up in such a state? Perhaps all of this is Heaven's will! Justice will eventually triumph over evil. For us old guys, this is the best consolation."

"Look, what is that?"

Garp and Sengoku turned to look. A giant stood under the firmament—it was Luffy.

"Gum-Gum Giant?"

Karl curled his lips. Isn't it just turning into a giant? Who can't do that?

Golden light enveloped Karl, and a Light Giant of the same size as Luffy appeared on Detir Island. The appearance of the two giants made the whole island look much smaller instantly.

"Uncle Karl, let's decide the winner!"

*Rumble~* Muffled thunder sounded in the sky, the sky suddenly darkened, and a storm was brewing.

Luffy raised his right hand, grabbed the lightning, and threw it at Karl, shouting loudly: "Gum-Gum Lightning!!!"

The Light Giant raised his right hand, condensed a golden ball of light, and fired it, colliding violently with the lightning and erupting with a powerful shockwave.

"Boom~"

Before the collision ended, Karl took the initiative to launch an attack, slamming a fist into Luffy's head. Luffy's head tilted back; the Gum-Gum Giant still possessed the characteristics of rubber, using Karl's force to whip his head back, immediately launching a Rocket Headbutt.

*Bang!*

Karl raised his arms to block Luffy's headbutt, pushed Luffy away with force, then condensed a huge Judgment Sword, drawing a golden trajectory in the air, and a massive arc-shaped flying slash attacked Luffy.

"Gum-Gum... Ape God Gun!"

*Puff~* Luffy's right hand expanded rapidly, launching his strongest attack. After shattering Karl's flying slash, the momentum was only slightly weakened, and it continued to slam toward Karl in front.

At this time, Karl naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death. Even if he turned into a giant, he could still use intangibility.

The huge Ape God Gun hit the air, causing Luffy to lose his balance.

"Elbaf Spear... Sovereignty!"

Using the Elbaf Spear at this size, the power was immense; the heavens and earth changed color, and the sea boiled.

Finally, that powerful shockwave containing the power to destroy a country was released, striking Luffy's chest with an invincible posture.

*Puff-ah~*

Giant Luffy spat out a mouthful of blood. Even with a massive body, he couldn't withstand that powerful impact, retreating continuously under the shockwave of the Sovereignty until he completely lost his balance, flew into the air, and then crashed onto the edge of the island.

Looking at the blood hole in Luffy's chest, Karl's gaze tightened. It was time to end all this!

*Thump, thump, thump~*

Karl rushed to Luffy's side in a flash, choked Luffy's throat with one hand to lift him up, and wrapped his other arm around Luffy's waist.

A forced lock.

Karl's light became increasingly dazzling, then began to flicker, as if he were an extremely unstable substance.

"Not good! It's going to explode!"

The Renhai Army present immediately felt something was wrong. With such a massive body, if it exploded... they would likely be caught in the blast.

"Peng En!"

Commandant Peng En waved his hand, the ground was ripped up, and he hurriedly led the observing Renhai Army to run away.

However, before Peng En could lead the others away, Yuan Zi had already run off.

If the situation is wrong, retreat immediately—no one understood this better than Yuan Zi.

By the time Peng En and the others flew nearly 3 kilometers away, the natural disaster descended...
