Chapter 467

Van der Decken looked at Princess Shirahoshi lying on the ground with a cold smile.

"Princess, run away! With us covering you, don't be afraid of him!"

"Princess, run away! We are willing to use our lives to protect you!"

A group of common people shouted passionately.

"Hmph! Since you all want to die! Then I will send you to hell!"

Van der Decken raised the big axe in his hand grimly.

Luffy said seriously to Princess Shirahoshi at this time: "Coward, listen well! If you run away now, I will look down on you for the rest of my life! With me here, just rest assured!"

"You evil martial arts hero, don't bewitch our princess!" The common people pointed and scolded angrily.

"Shut up!" Luffy shouted coldly.

Then he stood in place, his legs slightly apart.

Immediately, a strong Nine Provinces Dragon Qi radiated from Luffy's body.

The surrounding common people couldn't bear this powerful force and fainted one after another.

"Van der Decken! Coward is my friend; with me, Luffy, here, how can I let you do whatever you want!"

"Second Stage!"

Luffy used his Advanced Observation Haki to control his body's blood vessels, accelerating the blood flow in his body.

In this way, his speed and strength will be greatly improved.

Puchi~ Luffy in the second stage state was steaming all over.

He punched Van der Decken in the chest.

Boom! Van der Decken flew backward and smashed into the ground.

"Cough cough!"

Van der Decken struggled to climb up.

He covered his chest and gasped violently.

Luffy's blow almost broke his ribs.

"Van der Decken, you lost!"

Luffy's indifferent tone seemed to pronounce Van der Decken's fate.

Van der Decken raised his head with difficulty and said through gritted teeth: "I'm not convinced!"

"So what if you're not convinced?" Luffy mocked.

"Do you think I don't have a trump card?"

"Oh? You have? I'd like to see what skills you have!" Luffy showed an interested expression.

Van der Decken held the big axe in front of him, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Rumble! Rumble!

The ground began to tremble violently, as if it were the sound caused by the giants walking in the Giant God Valley.

"What happened? Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?"

"Why are we so disaster-ridden?"

The surrounding common people fled in panic.

"It's not the earth dragon turning over! It's Van der Decken summoning a giant!" Suddenly an old man said.

"Giant?" The common people looked over suspiciously, and their faces turned pale.

I saw a behemoth about ten stories high walking over slowly.

The monster looked very ugly, all black, and its skin was wrinkled.

Every step it took would cause a huge shock.

"God! What should we do!" The common people were terrified.

"Kill Luffy and them for me!" Van der Decken issued an order to the giant.

The giant took heavy steps and moved slowly.

"Not good! Run quickly! This giant is too powerful; we can't resist it at all!"

"Help! I don't want to be eaten!"

"I don't want to die yet! I'm still young!"

The surrounding common people fled.

Luffy looked at it confidently; it wasn't the first time he had seen such a tall creature.

The giants in the Giant God Valley he saw in the Forbidden City before were much stronger than this!

"Hehe! Let me meet you properly!"

Luffy activated his Advanced Observation Haki and disappeared in place instantly!

Boom!

The next second, Luffy rushed towards the giant, and the two fists collided fiercely.

Bang——

The giant was directly knocked back several meters by Luffy and fell to the ground unconscious.

"This kind of attack is too weak!"

Luffy looked at the giant and shook his head, then turned to look at Van der Decken and the group of frightened common people.

【Seeing Luffy's growth two years later, I am really too happy! This child has experienced too much and lost too much in these two years!】

【Yes, if Luffy had this strength when he saved Ace, how good would it be!】

【Thinking back two years ago, when Luffy and the others dealt with the corpse of Oars, it took the entire Straw Hat Pirates to defeat it; now facing a giant again, it's just a punch from Luffy!】

"Ah!" Seeing that the giant had fainted, Van der Decken rushed up in a rage.

Luffy looked at the crazy Van der Decken and smiled disdainfully.

"Van der Decken! Do you know where your biggest mistake is?"

Luffy reached out his right hand to grab the rushing Van der Decken, and then pulled back hard.

Van der Decken was thrown out and fell to the ground.

Crack!

Luffy stepped on Van der Decken's chest, and Van der Decken's sternum shattered immediately.

"No... I'm not reconciled!" Van der Decken roared at Luffy with humiliation and pain.

Luffy released his foot and let Van der Decken lie on the ground wailing constantly; he didn't care at all.

"Coward, Chopper, let's go!"

Luffy looked at the group of panicked common people in front of him and said.

"Ah? Oh!" Chopper came back to his senses and hurriedly followed Luffy away from here.

"Phew! Finally escaped!" Chopper was lucky; the fish-men here are too fierce!

On the Dragon Palace side, Zoro was still fighting with Hody, dragging time for Nami and others to evacuate.

"Hehe! Zoro of the Three Swords of the Straw Hat Pirates is indeed well-deserved; he can actually persist until now!"

Hody laughed and said, his eyes looking at his companions getting closer and closer in the distance.

Hody understood that as long as they persisted for another half a quarter of an hour, they would win completely!

Zoro gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed at Hody again.

Clang clang clang!!!

Sparks flew when weapons intersected, and the two fought together.

"One-Sword Style - Lion Song!" Zoro's Shimotsuki swordsmanship activated, and a cold light flashed.

Hody narrowed his eyes slightly and dodged the fatal blow.

Swish! Zoro's figure suddenly became blurred; Hody felt a crisis coming.

Hody couldn't parry in time and was slashed in the abdomen by Zoro's Xuanyuan Sword.

Hody was slashed away by a sword and spat out bright red blood.

The effect of the fierce drug also began to decrease at this time, and severe pain attacked his whole body; he couldn't control his figure and fell to the ground.

Zoro stood firm, staring at Hody with extremely sharp eyes.
