Chapter 640: The Winner is Decided

A scorching flame gushed out, illuminating Diterre Island like broad daylight. The raging flames carried destructive power, twisting the island's terrain and turning the already fragmented ground into uneven scorched earth.

Subsequently, a loud noise exploded like thunder, and the shockwave spread like a tide. This was an indescribable terror, like the angry roar of God, destroying everything it encountered. The originally quiet sea was stirred up with waves dozens of meters high, as if the ocean were also weeping for this disaster.

Trees were uprooted, the coastline was destroyed, seawater was evaporated, and those innocent marine creatures struggled in the sea of fire and shockwaves, but they still couldn't resist the natural disaster brought by Karl.

And in the center of the explosion, a huge fireball and mushroom cloud formed. They were like giant beasts in hell, spreading in all directions. The flames licked the sky, dyeing the entire sky blood-red, as if it were a sign of the end of the world.

When everything returned to calm, Diterre Island lost its former vitality and life, like a dead land.

Karl, in an intangible state, looked down at this land, panting slightly. This move could be described as killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred. Although Karl wasn't injured, the price was a massive consumption of physical strength.

It would take at least half an hour to recover.

And Luffy, who had borne all of Karl's damage, was now lying quietly on the scorched earth.

"Young people have good bodies! Falling asleep as soon as they lie down..."

Karl exited the intangible state, landed beside Luffy, kicked him twice, and after confirming that Luffy had entered a baby-like sleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't be able to stand up again like this.

Above the sky, Thousand Sunny.

"My God! What was that sound just now?"

"Explosion! It was definitely an explosion! What on earth happened below?"

Usopp looked left and right, and after finding no one guarding them, his face lit up: "The Navy guarding us is gone, let's take the opportunity to escape! We can't let Luffy face the Navy alone!"

"How do we run? The Thousand Sunny is controlled and can't move. Are we supposed to jump off the ship?"

Just as the Straw Hat crew was discussing, Karl appeared on the Thousand Sunny with Luffy and said with a smile: "I seem to have heard just now that you were planning to escape?"

"Luffy!!" "What did you do to Luffy?"

Thump-thump~

Karl threw Luffy beside Chopper and said with a calm expression: "The bad news is, he was defeated, and you are all now prisoners of the Navy. The good news is, he's not dead yet, and the Navy doesn't plan to execute you."

"However, you'd better behave yourselves now. If anyone dares to run away? Heh heh~"

After speaking, Karl took out a Den Den Mushi from the system space and contacted Peng En: "I am Karl. Straw Hat Luffy has been captured. I am now on the Thousand Sunny. You guys hurry over! Prepare to return to Navy Headquarters!"

"Yes! Admiral Karl, we'll be right back!"

A few minutes later.

"Luffy! Where is Luffy? He's not dead, is he?"

Karl shrugged and said to Garp: "I thought he would die, but I didn't expect his body to be quite tough."

Garp breathed a sigh of relief and rushed straight into the infirmary on the Thousand Sunny.
