Chapter 627: Grandfather and Grandson

Watching the Vivre Card moving constantly in her palm, Luo Bin let out a long sigh.

This was Karl's Vivre Card, and it was Karl who had personally handed it to her.

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

If it were before they reached Laugh Tale, she wouldn't have thought too much about 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?

Luo Bin didn't dare to think too deeply, because she understood that the Navy would absolutely not sit idly by as they had before.

But she was also hesitating 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 make a clean break sooner.

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

The next day, Diterre Island.

"Ah, finally we can resupply some ingredients. However, 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 moved away suddenly..." Zoro picked up a half-radish that had fallen to the ground, his expression solemn.

Luffy said thoughtlessly: "Isn't that great? Otherwise, it would be like the last island."

"Who are you!!!"

The people present tightened their expressions and turned to look toward the port: "Is that Franky's voice? Oh no, is someone attacking?"

Thousand Sunny.

Peng En looked at the tall Franky and said with a calm expression: "I am Navy Vice Admiral Peng En. As for the purpose of my coming..."

Peng En slowly squatted down and reached out his right hand to touch the lawn of the Thousand Sunny.

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

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

Franky frowned. The arrival of the Navy 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 a short distance, only to find that in just this short time, the Thousand Sunny had already reached high altitude, and then Franky was stunned.

There was actually another Navy warship in the sky?

Diterre Island.

"Franky!" "What happened? Why did the Thousand Sunny fly into the sky?"

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

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

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

The warship did not fly 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.

The dark shadows in the smoke and the terrifying aura made the Straw Hat crew shudder.

As the dust settled, nearly 30 Navy officers stood before the Straw Hat crew, their gazes toward them 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 with a big foot.

"Franky!"

Luffy quickly enlarged himself and caught Franky: "Franky, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, the Navy didn't give me a hard time."

Karl grinned: "Because giving you a hard time alone is not our goal. Today, our goal is to give all of you a hard time!"

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

A Navy 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 felt that the Navy was worthy of being the strongest force in this world.

The Cowardly Trio had already started huddling together for warmth, trembling as they looked at the surrounding Navy officers who were eyeing them like tigers. They were still young; they didn't want to go to jail!!!

Jinbe sighed: "This is trouble..."

Isn't it trouble? The ship had been seized, and their only retreat was the sea. But what about Luffy, Chopper, Brook, and Luo Bin?

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

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

He had finally become the Pirate King, the first step in realizing his dream; how could it end 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 like a child? Can you be a little more mature? Can you give your grandfather some peace of mind?"

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

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

"I want to be the freest man in this world; how could I stop just because of you guys?"

"Come on! You are..."

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

In his view, even if Luffy were to be defeated, he had to be defeated by his own hands.

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

"Gear Fourth!"

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

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

After all, Garp still carried a lot of weight in the Navy.

"Awoo~"

Accompanied by a wail, Luffy clutched his head and rolled on the ground. It was conceivable that Garp's punch was definitely for real—not Conqueror's Haki infusion, but better than Conqueror's Haki infusion. He was worthy of being the previous generation's Navy Hero; he really 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 took off from the ground, his feet constantly kicking the air, allowing him to fly in the air like a manual jet engine.

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

Clack clack clack clack bang~ Luffy's massive fist finished charging, and then his whole body rushed toward Garp like a meteor.

There was no fear in Garp's eyes. He calmly twisted his neck, his fist becoming pitch-black, with lightning faintly entwined around it.

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

"Ahem..." ===== CHAPTER 629 =====
