Chapter 528

"This is a disaster! Law has suddenly broken into the core workshop!"

Li Wei, who had been preparing to attack Sanji, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this: "Law broke into the workshop? I understand! You all guard the entrance; don't let anyone get close! I will go deal with him!"

Li Wei gave the order, then turned and moved toward the location of the core workshop.

That was where the most confidential research results were kept.

If Law were to destroy them directly, it would be a devastating catastrophe for the entire black market!

At this moment, the momentum on Li Wei's body climbed steadily, and he broke away from Sanji entirely.

As for Sanji, he followed the men from the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard into the next workshop.

"Tell me, what is going on? Isn't that guy your superior? Why would he attack you?" Sanji asked the person beside him.

"This..." a soldier lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "It's because he is a fake Manager Li. The real Manager Li is a very kind senior; how could he ever do such a heartless thing?"

Sanji frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, Captain Captain Captain Daqi! Actually, you misunderstood just now, didn't you? Our Manager Li couldn't possibly be a traitor; he isn't Manager Li at all, is he?"

Another soldier hurriedly chimed in.

Captain Captain Daqi looked at this group of people who still didn't believe Li Wei had betrayed them, and she could only sigh silently in her heart.

"Right... it was indeed my misunderstanding just now. That guy must be some practitioner of an ancient secret manual disguised as Manager Li."

Hearing this, the guys from the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard all revealed smiles.

They truly couldn't accept such news. After all, in their impression, Li Wei had always been such a gentle senior!

"Good! Since that's the case, brothers, let's keep fighting! Let's strive to capture all those guys from the Straw Hat Pirates and Caesar!"

A small squad leader of the Imperial Guard held his broadsword high and said heroically.

"Yeah!!!"

All the soldiers shouted with their arms raised.

Afterward, they looked at Sanji, and their expressions suddenly became awkward.

That's not right! Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates had just saved them; were they going to be ungrateful the moment they were out of danger?

This... this didn't fit their character at all!

In a town with a beautiful environment, Doflamingo was enjoying a table full of rich and delicious food with his subordinates, sitting in a chair with a lazy and comfortable expression, feeling extremely leisurely.

"A secret report came from Li Wei! He says Law has betrayed us and intends to destroy Caesar's research results! Hahahaha!"

Doflamingo laughed wildly with a smug face.

"I went to the trouble of raising him like a younger brother, yet he betrayed me so easily! This is simply an insult to me!"

"This time, I want to see how he ends this!"

Doflamingo drank wine while using chopsticks to pick up food to eat.

A thick murderous intent instantly spread through the air.

"Master! Let me go finish him off!"

A man stood out and knelt on one knee.

"No need. That guy Li Wei is already handling this matter. Use the long-distance sound transmission to notify Li Wei! Bring back Law's corpse, and also! Be sure to pay attention to Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"That guy awakened the Nine Provinces Dragon Qi two years ago; he is an even more dangerous person than Law!" Doflamingo instructed seriously.

"Yes, Master!"

Doflamingo waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to withdraw.

At the same time, on Luffy's side, he was in a fierce battle with Monet.

"Snowstorm!" Monet gave a low shout, and large patches of snowflakes began to float in the room, followed by a massive surge of icy energy!

This icy energy quickly condensed to form a huge ice blade, stabbing toward Luffy's chest!

Seeing this, Luffy hurriedly dodged to the side!

The ice blade grazed Luffy's body, but the wooden boards beside Luffy were cut to pieces!

"Hehehe! You can't dodge it!" Monet laughed grimly, then controlled the ice blade to slash toward Luffy's head.

This ice blade was extremely sharp! If he were hit, he would definitely be seriously injured!

Luffy hurriedly jumped away!

"Are you also a practitioner of an ancient secret manual? Since entering the New World, there are really more and more people practicing ancient secret manuals, and even your abilities have become quite strange."

Luffy remarked.

"Enough talk, go to hell! Ice and Snow Descend!"

Monet gave a sharp shout, and the surrounding frost power quickly gathered, forming a giant tower made of frost that pressed toward Luffy!

"Hah!"

Luffy smiled indifferently: "Self-Indulgent Intent — Dragon Fist!"

Luffy threw a punch fiercely, and the powerful impact caused the surrounding frost tower to crack and collapse inch by inch, disappearing into points of starlight.

Monet snorted coldly, her hands dancing, and countless snowflakes swept in from all directions under her control.

"Hmm? They're just snowflakes! This kind of power can't defeat me!" Luffy said with a faint smile.

"Try it and see!"

"Ice Seals Ten Thousand Miles!" Monet gave a sharp shout.

Instantly, countless snowflakes shot toward Luffy from all directions, wrapping him up tightly!

"I already said, this kind of attack can't defeat me! Hurry up and let me pass, I still have to go defeat Caesar!"

A somewhat impatient Luffy kicked toward his surroundings, and instantly erupted with peerless power, shaking all these snowflakes into powder!

"I also know that I can't defeat you on my own, but..."

Monet smiled slightly.

The next second, Luffy's eyes widened, and a terrifying snowflake hurricane attacked from all sides!

Afterward, Monet appeared directly from the snow and hugged Luffy tightly with her wings!

【What? Are things developing in a strange direction? How did Luffy get hugged by Monet while fighting?】

【Could it be that Monet intends to use sincerity to persuade Luffy not to trouble Caesar?】

【Then I can only say Monet is overthinking it. Luffy is a man who can even be immune to Hancock's charm, let alone hers.】

【Hancock! Someone is trying to steal your husband!】

【Don't be happy too soon, this might be some kind of ability of Monet's. Look, Luffy is starting to look a bit wrong!】

Sure enough, Luffy, who was hugged by Monet, started to shiver all over!

Because of the cold, the strength in his body was slowly disappearing.

"Just fall asleep like this! When humans are cold to the extreme, they are the most prone to feeling sleepy!"

"Sleep! Sleep! Until your heart stops beating, until you die!!"

Monet's mouth curled into a cruel arc.

This was her ability, the skill of the Ice Wings, which could freeze the enemy's body and consciousness.

She was confident! Even if Luffy possessed a powerful recovery ability, he couldn't resist the erosion of the Ice Wings!!

"What is going on... why am I getting more and more tired?"

Gradually, Luffy's eyes began to become confused, as if the entire sky had fallen into a dim world.

Thump!

Luffy didn't hold on for long before he fainted directly to the ground.

Just as Luffy was about to fall asleep, a warning from Zoro suddenly came to his mind: "You guy, take this seriously. We just entered the New World; wouldn't it be embarrassing if we just died like this?"

Luffy suddenly woke up, and a powerful Nine Provinces Dragon Qi erupted from his body, directly breaking Monet's ability!

"You guy..." Monet's pupils shrank sharply, clearly startled!

That momentum just now gave her a creepy feeling! It was as if she were facing a prehistoric monster!

Is this the legendary Nine Provinces Dragon Qi? It's actually this exaggerated?!

Luffy took a deep breath: "Hoo! Self-Indulgent Intent Second Stage — Impact Fist!"

The next moment, a powerful and peerless force erupted from Luffy's body!

"Damn guy, this move again!" Monet exclaimed.

"Haa!"

Luffy roared!
