Chapter 727

"Hahaha! Satisfying! Truly satisfying!" Liu Zoro laughed loudly.

"You two guys, is this how you recover from your injuries? Waking up and immediately eating meat and drinking alcohol—it would be a miracle if your wounds healed!"

Luo rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll go find some medicinal herbs and brew a soup for you to drink!"

"Hahaha! Luo, don't worry about them. As long as these guys can have a good meal, their injuries will recover by seventy or eighty percent." Robin Ke shook his head with a wry smile.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Kinemon and Kanjuro, who had gone out to monitor the movements of the Imperial Guards, had returned.

"You're back? How is the situation?" Luo hurried up to ask.

Kinemon said in a deep voice: "We have scouted it clearly. Those Imperial Guards have started planning to arrest us. Right now, the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Sun Yixiao, is leading four thousand Imperial Guards and closing in on us!"

"Judging by their current speed, they will arrive here in half an hour at the latest."

"This is absolutely terrible!"

Hearing these words, everyone exclaimed in shock.

Four thousand people! How are they supposed to deal with that?

"There's more, there's more! Now, on the streets of Desha City, it's being spread that Rebe's father is a highly respected and virtuous scholar."

"Many commoners have already come to view Rebe as their savior, and they are even honoring Rebe as a candidate for the next City Lord!" Kanjuro added.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was stunned.

"This..."

"Layman Lu, isn't Rebe's father you? When did you become a highly respected and virtuous scholar?"

"What on earth is going on here!"

Wang Luffy and the others were in an uproar, unable to understand what this was all about.

At this moment, Layman Lu shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I was the one who spread this rumor at the beginning. My hands are stained with blood; how could the child of a sinful person like me be worthy of the title of City Lord?"

"Layman Lu, why go to such lengths!"

"Layman Lu, I respect you as a real man!"

Zhuge Lanchi, Robin Ke, and the others all expressed their deep admiration for Layman Lu's manly actions!

"Sigh!" Layman Lu let out a long sigh: "Since the deed is done, there is no way to make amends even if I regret it."

"I, Layman Lu, can finally contribute a little something to the City Lord's Mansion. I hope it can make Rebe's future life happier!"

Wang Luffy looked at Layman Lu with great contempt: "You guy, have you asked Rebe about this? Would she want you to do this?"

"As a father, don't feel proud just because you think you've made some sacrifice for your child!"

"If you really want to make a contribution for Rebe, you must seek her own consent."

"Otherwise, she will definitely hate you to death, because you didn't consider her feelings at all!"

"Right, right, right! Luffy is right! Layman Lu, you shouldn't decide for Rebe without authorization; you should ask for Rebe's own opinion."

Usopp nodded in agreement.

Just as these people were discussing how Layman Lu should properly apologize to Rebe.

Romeo suddenly pushed open the door of the wooden house, rushed in with a grave expression, and said nervously: "It's bad! The Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Sun Yixiao, has brought troops to surround us!"

"Don't be anxious, Romeo. We'll have time to leave once we've eaten our fill. After all, this Sun Sun Yixiao has fought alongside us before."

"He hasn't launched an attack on us for the past two days, so this time he's definitely just putting on a show."

Usopp said with a chuckle, not worried in the slightest.

"But..." Romeo hesitated.

"Romeo, aren't you usually very calm, kid? How come you've become such a fussbudget today? Were you scared silly? Don't be afraid, we'll be able to escape sooner or later!"

Wang Luffy held a pile of roasted pork, his mouth greasy as he said: "Right, Luo?"

"Senior Wang Luffy! This time it's different. The Chief of Staff of the Imperial Guards, Sun He, and the former Marshal Sengoku have both come!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of Wang Luffy and the others changed abruptly.

"Could it be that those old fossils couldn't hold back anymore?" Liu Zoro frowned.

"Forget about that, we must leave immediately!" Robin Ke proposed: "If we get targeted by those three at the same time, none of us will be able to run away!"

"Yeah, yeah! We must leave immediately! But we don't have a war chariot right now. Nami and the others have already sailed away on the Sunny, and we can't catch up at all!"

Zhuge Lanchi was also at a loss.

"Hehehe! You don't need to worry about that. While Senior Wang Luffy was sleeping, we had already built a war chariot, and the rest of us will also carve out a path for you!"

Romeo patted his chest in assurance, looking very confident.

"Oh? Is that so? That's great. Romeo, you're really becoming more and more reliable. This time, I really owe it to you."

Wang Luffy pulled Romeo over and patted his shoulder with an appreciative look.

Romeo was instantly thrilled and almost burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu! Does Senior Wang Luffy mean that I am your right-hand man? I'm so happy!"

Wang Luffy and the others began to pack their luggage and followed Romeo toward the city gate.

"The Straw Hat group has been spotted! Brothers, fire arrows!"

The Imperial Guards lying in ambush around the wooden house saw the group of people running out and immediately drew their bows and strings with excitement, firing at Wang Luffy and his party.

A rain of arrows filled the sky and poured down!

"Bastards!"

Seeing this, Kanjuro and Kinemon roared, drew their precious swords, channeled their internal energy, and swung their weapons to cut down the arrows flying toward their bodies.

"Brothers, kill your way out!"

Wang Luffy shouted and charged out first, with the others following closely behind him.

Although these Imperial Guards were strong, they could not stop the charge of these people; many fell to the ground instantly, screaming in agony!

"Are we really going to fight these terrifying martial artists?"

"Especially that Wang Luffy, he's the one who defeated Doflamingo! We are no match for him at all!"

"That's right! When these martial arts experts go crazy, they are even more ferocious than our Imperial Guards! We can't resist them at all!"

The Imperial Guards showed expressions of retreat and fear, and some cowardly ones even wanted to run away.

But just at this moment.

Wang Luffy suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Hey! You guys go to the city gate first, I still have one thing I must do!"

"Senior Wang Luffy, are you sure? Don't you need our help?" Romeo said worriedly.

"No need, you guys go out first." Wang Luffy waved his hand.

Hearing this, the group had no choice but to keep their doubts to themselves, turn around, and walk toward the city gate.

Wang Luffy, meanwhile, ran toward the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey! You Imperial Guards, hurry up and get out of my way, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wang Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs while running toward the City Lord's Mansion.

His shouting quickly caught the attention of the Imperial Guards. They looked up one after another and happened to see Wang Luffy running continuously on the rooftops!

"What? Why is this guy Wang Luffy appearing here?"

"Didn't he run toward the city gate?"

"God, spare us! I don't want to fight such a terrifying guy anymore!"

"It's over, everything is over now! These guys actually killed their way back; we're really going to die this time!"

The Imperial Guards said in a panic.

"Hahaha! You trash Imperial Guards, let's see where you can run today!"

Just as everyone was panicked and helpless, a roar of horse hooves echoed through the entire street!

A troop of elite cavalry galloped over and finally slowed to a stop in front of the Imperial Guards.

"Don't be cowardly, isn't it just a martial artist? We are the Imperial Guards who have undergone countless training!"

"That's right! No matter how high their martial arts are, how can they withstand our iron-blooded spears?"

"Archers, all aim at Wang Luffy. I want to shoot him into a hedgehog!"

A man in armor riding a warhorse said with a cold gaze.

"Yes, sir!"

Following a clanging, powerful response, hundreds of Imperial Guards holding bows and arrows bent their bows and locked onto Wang Luffy in mid-air!

"Hmph!"
