Chapter 238

The snake-woman slowly put the stone statue down.

And just when everyone's eyes were on Luffy.

On the high platform, a sentence from the Empress immediately drew everyone's attention back.

"Nine Provinces Dragon Qi!"

"Actually possesses the same aptitude as me?"

A single sentence from the Empress exposed a lot of information.

She was actually also a possessor of Dragon Qi.

But thinking about it carefully, there was no problem; after all, she was the ruler of a country. It was normal to have the aptitude to become an emperor.

Instead, it was Luffy. Everyone had some doubts about his background again.

【Luffy should be the kind of guy without ambition; how could he have such aptitude?】

【The leader of the Straw Hat Pirates is also a leader, right? Don't look down on the shrimp!】

【Luffy just has no desire, which doesn't mean he doesn't have this qualification.】

【Could the ending of the story be that Luffy overthrows the rule of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty and then becomes the emperor himself?】

【Wanting to be the leader of the martial arts world is also a kind of ambition! As for the emperor, that's hard to say!】

【Hey, hey, hey, shouldn't the point be that the Empress also has this thing?】

【She is already a king, what's so strange about that!】

The aptitude that Luffy inadvertently displayed completely made the Empress take him seriously.

This is an aptitude that only appears in one out of several million people.

Every single one of them cannot be underestimated.

But the man in front of her who had the aptitude to become an emperor didn't look ambitious at all.

Luffy didn't care about those things; he just lightly put the stone statue in place.

These were his life-saving benefactors. Luffy would never do anything treacherous.

After being briefly deterred by Luffy.

The two snake-woman sisters increased their determination to destroy Luffy.

Such an aptitude is heaven-defying and must not be left alive.

And at the same time, they also discovered Luffy's weakness.

They didn't choose to attack his main body, but attacked the stone statues fiercely.

As expected, Luffy's weakness was just like that.

Without any room to dodge, he took this hit hard.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood lightly, but his footsteps showed no intention of moving.

The Empress on the high platform revealed a look of surprise.

This is impossible; are these still those selfish men?

She didn't want to believe everything in front of her.

But she had to admit that Luffy's actions did indeed win her over.

"Let him move the stone statues away!"

The Empress's attitude underwent a slight change.

But the disgust in her bones didn't change a bit.

Luffy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as people are alive, there is still hope.

He nimbly moved the stone statues to the side.

Luffy didn't intend to hold back anymore either.

Being suppressed and beaten, anyone would have a bit of a temper.

Not to mention that he was in a very bad mood now, and the life or death of his companions was still unknown.

"Art of Self-Freedom, Second Stage!"

Luffy could clearly perceive the protective Qi on the opponent's body.

Those things had a strong restraining effect on him.

But facts proved that everything is futile in the face of absolute power.

Luffy, who entered the second stage, directly used force to overcome everything.

Although the opponent's protective Qi was very tricky.

But in the face of absolute strength, the two women were no match for him.

During the fight, the clothes of the two women suffered irreversible damage.

But the audience had no desire to watch.

Compared to the Empress, these two sisters were completely like monsters, without a hint of beauty.

But everyone still discovered some blind spots.

For example, among the torn clothes, they discovered a strange pattern on the back of the snake-woman.

Although only a corner was revealed, the author deliberately gave a close-up.

The Empress on the high platform was suddenly shocked.

It could be seen that she cared quite a bit about that thing.

【Oh, there's actually a little secret; it seems all three sisters have this tattoo on their backs!】

【So that's how it is; what exactly happened?】

【I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere, but I just can't remember!】

【The dignified Empress actually has an unspeakable secret; it seems she doesn't want her citizens to know!】

【I have already guessed the direction of the plot; Empress, you wouldn't want the secret on your back to be known by others, right?】

【This Japanese netizen, please calm down...】

The audience guessed the direction of the plot one after another, and the more they guessed, the more excited they became.

But Luffy probably didn't have that kind of brain.

But at this moment, everyone was still happy to watch the excitement.

Honestly, the three sisters of the Amazon Lily haven't left a very good impression on everyone so far.

This Empress has only beauty, but is actually snake-hearted and really not very likable.

Everyone really wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

And what no one expected was that at this critical moment, Luffy suddenly pounced over.

Using his own body to cover the pattern on the snake-woman's back.

"Oh my!"

A burst of exclamations suddenly sounded at the scene.

Most of them were negative reviews.

Such behavior was simply too saintly.

But sometimes you have to admit that Luffy's emotional intelligence is actually not low.

He could even pay attention to such a detailed place.

However, everyone didn't quite agree with his behavior.

The other party has targeted you so much, and you still don't have any temper.

The Empress on the high platform was completely stunned.

Her body had just started to tremble; that was a symbol of fear.

But what she never expected was that the man she hated the most would actually guard their secret regardless of past grievances.

Even for her, she was finally moved at this moment.

The corners of her eyes were already slightly red; it must be said that the current Empress really had a feeling of being pitiful.

Lin Yi still didn't portray the Empress as an irredeemable, vicious image.

Luffy's behavior was still recognized by them.
