Chapter 235

"It's really him…"

Chopper stared blankly at Luo En.

The scene from back then on Drum Island surfaced in his mind.

Back then, Luo En, still a youth, had wielded a black blade and slashed at Admiral Huang Yuan, and the clash of their attacks had split the sky above Drum Island.

That astonishing scene was still impossible for Chopper to forget to this day.

Nami, on the other hand, noticed the change in Luo En's appearance and was somewhat startled.

"What happened to his eyes, and his hair?"

"So many beauties…"

Sanji stared at Kuina, Luo Bin, Conis, and Bonney, and Carrot behind Luo En, his heart nearly stopping.

"Kuina…"

Zoro's gaze fixed intently on Kuina beside Luo En, his heart unable to calm.

"Hm?"

Kuina, her blue hair tied in a high ponytail, her figure slender and graceful, her features cool and aloof, noticed his gaze, turned her head to look at him, and recognized him at a glance.

"Zoro, it's been a while." Kuina said with a light laugh to Zoro: "You've grown up too. I just don't know if your swordsmanship has improved since we were kids."

Kuina's hand reached the hilt of her blade, and she looked at him with a fighting spirit in her eyes: "Do you still remember that promise we made back then?"

"Of course!"

Zoro's hand had likewise already gripped his hilt, his sharp eyes brimming with an incomparable fighting spirit as he stared fixedly at her: "What do you think I've been working toward all this time?"

How could he possibly forget that promise from back then?

It was precisely to fulfill that promise that he had been fighting desperately all the way to this day!

Kuina sensed his boiling fighting spirit, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly: "Want to challenge me here? Zoro, you're still no match for me right now."

She gently pushed out Wado Ichimonji by an inch, and a sword intent belonging to a Great Swordsman radiated from her.

Zoro felt the powerful sword intent emanating from her, his eyes narrowing slightly: "How would you know that without a fight?"

Just as the two swordsmen, reunited after a long separation, faced off against each other, about to draw their blades and have a match.

A hand came to rest on Kuina's shoulder.

"Kuina, let's put off this match until later. We still have things to do today."

Hearing Luo En's words, Kuina nodded lightly and withdrew the sword intent radiating from her entire body.

Seeing this, Zoro could only give up as well, sheathing his blade.

"6000 volts. Thunder Dragon!"

And at that very moment.

Enel suddenly launched an attack at Luo En.

Fierce, violent lightning transformed into a thunder dragon that roared as it charged toward Luo En.

A small figure instantly appeared in front of Luo En, and a pitch-black fist wrapped in spiraling force met that thunder dragon head-on with a punch!

"Eight-Point Strike!"

In an instant, a powerful shockwave blasted apart that thunder dragon.

Enel stared at the Kung-Fu Dugong Xiao Qi, his eyes narrowing slightly.

A dugong… actually blocked my attack?!

Xiao Qi landed on the ground, the pitch-black fist hardened with Armament Haki still crackling with lightning.

Its little black, shiny eyes stared at Enel, carrying a hint of excitement and fighting spirit: "Are you the enemy? I'll be your opponent!"

"A mere animal, daring to challenge a god…"

Enel stared at Xiao Qi on that ship, narrowed his eyes, and lightning crackled around his body.

A flash of lightning.

He vanished from the spot in an instant.

"There?"

Xiao Qi's eyes swept across, its tail slammed the deck at high speed, it executed Soru, and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The onlookers could only see a flash of lightning and a flash of black light flickering continuously in the air.

Every collision produced the violent explosion of thunder and the tremendous roar of air bursting apart.

Usopp and Chopper stared at this scene, their eyes nearly popping out.

"So, so strong!!!"

"Is this the Kung-Fu Dugong of the rumored Sky Calamity crew?"

A cold sweat rolled down Franky's forehead. "To actually be able to match Enel head-on, this level of strength is even more astonishing than imagined!!!"

"Why is that Enel here?"

Conis stared at Enel, who was currently fighting Xiao Qi, and said in great astonishment.

Luo En looked at Luffy and smiled: "That's something we need to ask them."

"Yeah…"

Luffy scratched his cheek and said, not quite knowing where to begin.

"Sister Luo Bin, Sister Conis."

Nami waved and called out to Luo Bin and Conis.

Luo Bin and Conis turned their heads to look at her, somewhat puzzled.

Nami's face broke into a brilliant smile: "Do you still remember me? I'm Nami."

"Nami?"

Luo Bin and Koniis stared at her face, and the image of a little girl surfaced in their minds.

The two women looked at her, a flash of delight in their eyes: "You're Nami! You've already grown so big!"

"Hehe." Nami, tall and graceful, stood with her hands behind her back and beamed at them. "Long time no see, Sister Luo Bin, Sister Koniis."

"Young man Luo En, do you still remember me? We met before in the Devil's Triangle zone…"

Brook said to Luo En, opening his mouth.

"Of course I remember. Aren't you Brook?"

Hearing his words, Brook was instantly overcome with emotion.

……

Luo En's group and the Straw Hats' group truly had far too many intersections.

For a moment, old friends reunited after a long parting, and the scene immediately turned chaotic.

Sabo could not help but remind Luo En: "Luo En, let's catch up later. Right now we still need to go rescue Ace first."

"That's right. This is the most urgent matter at hand."

Jinbe walked out from the cabin and said seriously to Luo En: "It's getting late. We have to hurry over to Marineford."

"Sea Knight, Jinbe?"

Ivankov caught sight of him and was greatly shocked.

Why was he on Luo En's ship?

"Mm, it's about time."

Luo En nodded, and his mind stirred.

The Voyager beneath him, the Straw Hats' Sunny, and the Revolutionary Army's ship all broke free of gravity and swiftly floated upward.

"The ship is flying!"

Usopp clutched his head and shouted in panic.

"Calm down. This is his ability."

Sanji lit a cigarette and said.

"Ninety million volts, Thunder Dragon's Welcome!"

Xiao Qi gazed at the enormous Thunder Dragon before her, a slight tremor stirring in her heart.

Just as it was about to be struck by that blow—

Luo En's pair of azure Rinne-sharingan swept over it. A brilliant light flashed and vanished in his eyes; pupil power released, and a terrifying repulsive force of overwhelming might surged out in an instant, crushing the violent, unmatched Thunder Dragon to pieces.

Enel was blasted out of the air by that repulsive force and sent flying backward, a flash of horror crossing his eyes.

Luo En stood at the bow of the Voyager as it floated upward, his azure eyes looking down at Enel in the air below. An awe-inspiring aura radiated from his entire body, as though he ruled the world.

"The current you does not have the qualification to challenge me."
