Chapter 537

"Hahaha! You still want to kill me? You really know nothing about me. Do you know how much I am worth? Now it's not just Doflamingo protecting me; even one of the Four Absolutes is buying those Gu insects from me!

By the way! You don't know about those Gu insects yet, right? Those are things that can grant humans beast-like abilities! They are existences comparable to ancient secret manuals!

If you kill me, or cause any impact on my experiments! That would be declaring war on the Four Absolutes!"

Caesar laughed triumphantly; which person in the Jianghu wouldn't tremble with fear upon hearing the name of the Four Absolutes?

Unfortunately, the person he encountered was not an ordinary person, but someone of Luffy's caliber.

Sure enough, as soon as Luffy heard Caesar's words, his entire face turned dark.

"They are just the Four Absolutes! I, Luffy, am the one who is going to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader; how could I be afraid of the Four Absolutes!"

With a *bang*, Luffy punched Caesar directly in the face.

*Splat!

Caesar was sent flying several meters away by this punch; half of his face collapsed, and he spat out blood from his mouth, with two teeth even being knocked out.

【Hahaha! Caesar deserves it; he doesn't really think he can scare Luffy by bringing up the Four Absolutes, does he?】

【This punch is really satisfying; someone like Caesar should be made to pay the price.】

【You're right, upstairs! People like Caesar really should be dealt with properly.】

【However, that kind of Gu insect, which can grant martial artists the ability of ancient beast-like secret manuals, is truly powerful!】

【Yeah, even one of the Four Absolutes is using this Gu insect; is he planning to create a beast-man army?】

【Such a powerful Gu insect will definitely be coveted by others.】

Caesar fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and said angrily: "Luffy... you dare hit me? Do you know what kind of consequences you will face?"

Regarding Caesar's threat, Luffy was not afraid at all, but instead continued to walk toward Caesar step by step.

The cold killing intent made Caesar completely panic: "You... don't come over here! If you leave here now, I will act as if nothing happened. But if you are obsessed... you should think about the organization behind me!"

Unfortunately, Luffy ignored his act entirely.

"Is this bastard deaf? Did you hear what I was saying?"

Caesar shouted in fear.

With a *bang*, Luffy kicked Caesar mercilessly in the chest, and Caesar was kicked flying again.

Caesar lay on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body in immense pain.

"Damn it, I will take revenge on you all; I will make you all die."

Caesar gritted his teeth, staring viciously at Luffy, and then directly activated his ability: "Poison Miasma Eruption!"

Caesar condensed all the internal energy in his body into his chest cavity, and then sprayed it violently toward Luffy!

Luffy used the Self-Mastery Technique to dodge Caesar's attack directly.

"You... you really are a monster, but there are monsters in our workshop too, for example, that Li Wei! His martial Dao true Qi has been cultivated to the extreme!

Neither Law nor Smoker will be his match. If you get out of here now, you might still have a chance to live!"

…

At the core workshop, Li Wei was constantly exchanging blows with Smoker.

Although Smoker had extremely high martial arts talent and possessed a realm comparable to a grandmaster at a young age.

But unfortunately, Li Wei had already developed his body to the extreme.

Smoker could not gain the slightest advantage while fighting Li Wei.

Li Wei snorted coldly: "Your martial Dao strength isn't much! Whether it's technique or martial Dao true Qi, I am much better than you; haven't you realized it yet?"

Smoker's face was gloomy: "I admit that my martial Dao true Qi is not as good as yours, but it won't be that easy for you to win against me."

After saying that, Smoker used the "White Emperor Pale Smoke Technique," forming a layer of smoke around him.

Immediately after, Smoker's figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment his body appeared abruptly behind Li Wei, and he viciously slapped Li Wei on the back.

*Bang!

Li Wei let out a muffled groan, his figure staggering, almost falling down.

Smoker pursued the victory, firing both fists, the vicious fist wind whistling, and a sharp aura pressed directly toward Li Wei.

Li Wei did not show weakness, also throwing out both fists to clash head-on with Smoker.

*Boom, boom, boom!

Both of them were very fast, setting off waves of sound in the air, deafening.

With a *bang*, Li Wei's palm landed heavily on Smoker's chest; Smoker retreated several steps directly before stabilizing his figure, looking at Li Wei with fierce eyes.

Smoker was furious, waving his arms, his fists rushing toward Li Wei like a dragon, wanting to finish off Li Wei in one go.

"Too slow!"

Li Wei said indifferently, kicking the ground hard and rushing directly toward Smoker.

Smoker felt his eyes blur; the Li Wei who was originally in front of him had turned into dozens of phantoms.

Smoker was shocked and hurriedly stopped his offensive to defend.

With a *bang*, another heavy punch imbued with martial Dao true Qi smashed into Smoker's chest, making his ribs almost shatter completely.

*Crack!

Smoker only felt his throat surge, a sweetness in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Wei seized the opportunity, striking while the iron was hot, bending his right knee to strike Smoker's abdomen.

Smoker screamed, his body sent flying.

"I said, you are too slow!"

Li Wei shook his head and said: "Next is to give you the final blow, Smoker, General of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard!"

At this moment, Law slowly climbed up behind Li Wei.

Li Wei turned his head to look at Law: "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry to be finished off by me? Can't you just lie there honestly and wait for death?"

Law grinned: "You are really shameless; if you weren't threatening me with my heart, I would have finished you off easily, Li Wei!"

Seeing that Law was still unconvinced, Li Wei took out Law's heart again and squeezed it hard: "You brat who doesn't learn! I told you to call me Mr. Li Wei; are you looking for a beating, Zhu!"

Li Wei's face was ferocious, his eyes turning red.

Law's heart was squeezed in Li Wei's hand, and he himself felt as if he were being gnawed by thousands of ants; that kind of pain was simply enough to make one collapse.

If Law could get his heart back, could he defeat Li Wei?

Smoker's mind began to think about this sentence constantly; the gap in strength between him and Li Wei was indeed very large; he was not Li Wei's match.

The only way now was to bet everything on Law.

Thinking of this, Smoker gritted his teeth and climbed up again: "White Emperor Pale Smoke Technique — White Snake!"

Immediately, Smoker circulated all the true Qi in his body, and thick white fog steamed up from Smoker's body surface.

"Hmm? You still want to resist?"

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly; even in the white fog, he could clearly perceive Smoker's position.

Li Wei had not only cultivated martial Dao true Qi to the extreme, but he had also cultivated abilities like Haoran Righteous Qi, which could detect enemies, to the extreme.

Li Wei's body flickered, passing directly through the thick fog to Smoker's side, and then his right elbow fell heavily, heading straight for Smoker's temple.

*Bang!

Smoker used his Seastone staff to block, then retreated backward.

In this process, he actually transported the heart in Li Wei's arms to Law's side.

"It's useless! Smoker! Under my martial Dao true Qi, your Seastone staff is not some divine weapon."

Li Wei snorted coldly, then stomped his feet hard on the ground, his whole body turning into a stream of light.

In an instant, he arrived in front of Smoker and kicked out fiercely.

This kick contained majestic martial Dao true Qi!

Smoker hurriedly used the Seastone staff to block; with a *crack*, this incredibly hard Seastone was actually kicked into two halves by Li Wei.

Then Li Wei raised his left foot and kicked Smoker flying.

Smoker's body flew several meters away, spitting out blood, panting.

Smoker looked at the broken Seastone staff in his hand, his eyes full of sorrow.

"So strong, but my plan succeeded! Law! This time I don't owe you any favors!"

Smoker wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

After Law put his heart back into his body, his power finally returned to his body completely.

"You really don't want to owe me a favor that much?"
