- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 340
Meanwhile.
Luffy and his crew also faced a major challenge.
They, too, encountered a Pacifista!
And Zoro’s old wounds just happened to flare up at this moment, leaving them completely unprepared against the Pacifista’s assault…
“Gear Third!”
Seeing his companions getting injured one after another, Luffy decided to go all out. He bit into his right thumb and blew into it forcefully.
Instantly.
Luffy’s right arm began to rapidly swell, visibly enlarging at an astonishing rate.
In just a few breaths, his arm had grown into a giant’s hand.
His body remained that of a normal human, but now he was dragging a giant’s hand, which looked utterly bizarre…
This was Luffy’s current special move: Gear Third! Gigantification!
“Gomu Gomu no… Giant Bazooka!”
With a roar, Luffy’s giant fist slammed toward the Pacifista.
“Boom!”
The giant fist hit the Pacifista, sending it flying.
As expected from the child of destiny, protected by the protagonist’s halo.
However, after using Gear Third, Luffy’s body suffered severe side effects: he shrank!
“Pfft…”
Like a deflated balloon, Luffy rapidly shrank down and, in the blink of an eye, became a small child, lying on the ground, panting heavily.
His companions were also sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.
Right now, Luffy and his crew were still too weak.
A single Pacifista was enough to give them a hard time…
Looking at the Pacifista lying motionless on the ground, Nami said fearfully, “It looks like it might still move. How terrifying!”
Usopp, gasping for air, added, “If that’s the case, we’re in big trouble. I’ve got no strength left.”
“But what exactly is this thing? It doesn’t look like one of the Shichibukai,” Zoro said, his expression serious.
“It seems to be a cyborg!” Franky responded.
Luffy, panting with his tongue out, said, “Let’s rest for a bit, then leave here as soon as we can!”
Just as they were talking.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the treetops:
“You guys are too much! You hit my PX-4 so hard you broke it!”
“Who is it?”
Nami, like a startled bird, jumped in fear.
“An enemy? Where are they?”
Luffy and the others were also taken aback.
“There, in the tree!”
Chopper spotted a large figure in the tree.
The next moment.
Two giant figures leaped down from the treetops, landing with a heavy thud.
Seeing these two giants, Luffy and his crew looked despairing.
Because one of the giants looked exactly like the artificial “Shichibukai” lying on the ground.
The other giant was slightly shorter than the Pacifista. He was a big, burly man wearing only a loincloth, carrying a giant axe that was even larger than himself. He looked fierce and menacing, clearly not someone to mess with!
It was Sentomaru!
Looking at the damaged Pacifista on the ground, Sentomaru said angrily, “Do you have any idea how much it costs to make one of these Pacifistas? The price of an entire warship! How am I supposed to explain this to Dr. Vegapunk?”
“Another Shichibukai?”
“Is this guy the real one?”
“No way, this can’t be happening…”
Usopp’s face was pale, his expression filled with fear.
The others were in a similar state to Usopp.
Franky asked, “Big axe guy, who are you?”
“Hmph! No matter how much you ask, it won’t make any difference. I won’t tell you anything. I am the man with the strongest defense in the world and the tightest lips, Sentomaru!!”
Sentomaru said proudly.
Everyone was stunned.
This guy says he has the tightest lips, yet he just answered their question… Is he a fool?
“So your name is Sentomaru?” Usopp blurted out instinctively.
Sentomaru froze, then said angrily, “That was something I chose to tell you… PX-1, attack them! Don’t let them escape!”
“Boom!”
The PX-1 Pacifista immediately launched a shockwave attack.
The crew was blasted, flying in all directions.
“Everyone, run! Split up and escape. We don’t have the strength to fight anymore!” Luffy shouted, his expression extremely serious.
Hearing this, everyone began to scatter and run.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a beam of laser light shot from a distance, piercing straight through Zoro’s chest.
Blood splattered, and Zoro himself collapsed to the ground.
The sudden turn of events terrified Luffy and the others.
“Zoro!!”
Usopp, who was closest to Zoro, screamed, tears streaming down his face.
The others were also pale, looking in Zoro’s direction!
Sentomaru said irritably, “You sure took your time getting here, old man Kizaru.”
“Kizaru?”
When Nico Robin heard this name, her pupils contracted sharply.
“Everyone be careful, he’s an Admiral of the Navy!”
A Marine Admiral!!
The highest combat force of Marineford!
Everyone was in complete despair…
“Are we… going to die here?” Nami’s face turned white, completely devoid of color.
Even Luffy didn’t know what to do.
An Admiral had arrived!
Unless a miracle happened.
Otherwise!
They were doomed this time!!
“You only noticed me now? It’s too late.”
Kizaru said in his peculiar tone, his gaze falling on Zoro, who was lying on the ground, struggling to stay alive.
“A bounty of 120 million, Pirate Hunter Zoro!” Kizaru said coldly. “It looks like you’re seriously injured. How about I send you off properly so you can rest in peace?”
As he spoke, Kizaru approached Zoro, lifting his right foot and aiming it at Zoro’s head.
“Buzz!”
Golden light flickered.
If Kizaru stomped down, Zoro would be dead for sure!
“Zoro! Run!!”
Luffy shouted frantically, as if he had gone mad.
But it was no use.
Because Zoro could no longer move…
At this critical moment!
A calm voice suddenly sounded from behind Kizaru:
“Admiral Kizaru, long time no see… Would you do me a favor and let these kids go?”
The sudden voice immediately drew everyone’s attention.
“Hm?”
Kizaru was slightly surprised and turned his head to look behind him.
Standing quietly behind Kizaru was Chen Ye, with a faint smile on his face.
The others also saw Chen Ye.
“It’s the old man from the auction house!!”
Usopp shouted, his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.
Luffy, Nami, Sanji, and the others, as if grabbing onto a lifeline in their moment of despair, all looked at Chen Ye with hopeful eyes, expecting him to save them.
“Old man…”
Zoro, lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head.
At this moment!
The fate of the entire Straw Hat Pirates was in Chen Ye’s hands.
“Hm? That’s…”
Sentomaru, seeing Chen Ye, was initially stunned. As he slowly recognized him, his expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, “Old man, that’s Mundo!!”
No need for Sentomaru’s reminder; Kizaru had already recognized Chen Ye.
This was the guy who had forced the Navy to change their Admiral and brought them shame—Kizaru remembered him very clearly.
“Oh! This is quite something; we’ve caught a big fish!”
Kizaru immediately abandoned Zoro, his eyes behind his sunglasses fixed intently on Chen Ye.
“Ten years… I didn’t expect to see you here, Mundo!!!”
