Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Rubber~Rubber~Ape King Gun!"

In mid-air, a black and red figure surrounded by hot steam flashed by quickly. The moment the figure appeared, a fist carrying terrifying power shot out.

On the other side, two swordsmen from the same school also unleashed their full strength, their swords clashing with each other, gleaming with the dark sheen of their armed colors.

"Santo-ryu·Ji·Tiger Hunting!"

"Ichidao Liu·Rain·Swallow Returns!"

Fist shadows and slashing blows flashed through the air. Under the combined attack of the three, even the generals had to be cautious. However, the enemy they faced today was very different from any previous opponents.

Many years ago, the King of the Valley of Gods, Feigaland Galinsheng, had grown to unfathomable strength after years of accumulating strength. Not to mention now that he had been promoted to one of the Five Elder Stars, he had no scruples about either his physical strength or his recovery ability. He simply gripped his sword tightly and slashed at the enemy before him.

"Your courage is commendable, and your dominance is acceptable, but you are still too immature!"

Without any change in his expression, Garen Sheng just watched Luffy's fist and Zoro's slashes pierce through his flesh, dispersing a thick black mist.

In response to the three people, he swung the Western sword in his hand, and the lightning of the Conqueror's color wrapped around it. Even if it had not yet touched the bodies of the three people, the powerful force it carried was enough to penetrate the defense of the Armament Color and inflict unprecedented real damage to Luffy and others without any hindrance!

"Luffy!"

Seeing that several people were easily repelled and even injured, Ace couldn't help but shout. In desperation, the flames around his body surged up instantly, and he and Sanji, who was burning with the Devil Wind Leg, turned into two meteors, rushing towards Garen Sheng from the left and right.

"Dang——"

There was a sound like metal clashing, and one of Garinsheng's hands was wrapped in Armament Haki, tightly grasping Ace's fire fist, while the other hand swung a long sword to block Sanji's swift attack. Due to the absolute gap in strength, no matter how the two of them activated their domineering aura, they could not shake each other at all.

"You have such strength at such a young age. I have to say that you all have great potential. If it were a few decades ago, I might have considered letting you join the selection of the Knights of God.

But unfortunately, you followed the wrong person. This journey is bound to be a journey of no return. Give up now, little devils. From the moment you set foot on the holy land, the ending is already determined! "

The extremely powerful domineering color spread wantonly, and under the powerful pressure, Ace and Sanji had to withdraw. Even after just a simple collision, they were very clear that the enemy in front of them was definitely not one they could defeat. The current strength they had gained after years of training still lacked real foundation in front of a true strong man!

"Tsk! This is not good!"

Upon seeing this, Ace looked around with a grim expression. Being in the holy land at this moment, with their current strength, it would be almost impossible for them to escape. No one would have thought that the World Government still had such means to turn pirates into demons dominated by evil intentions and become their loyal fangs!

"I don't understand, Old Crescent Moon. All the pirates on the Grand Line are no longer a threat after being controlled by you. Although those who can still maintain their own strength are quite strong, it's not worth it for you to make such a big fuss, right?"

Carefully examining the Garin Saint in front of him, Ace's doubts grew heavier.

"Besides, what do you mean Luffy is the only one who can't leave? Even for the sake of being a marine hero, he has to endure near-life imprisonment?

If I remember correctly, although we are pirates, we have never committed any acts of burning, killing, or looting. The navy that has been chasing us should know this very well."

After hearing Ace's words, the expressions of the marines outside the battlefield changed slightly.

In fact, the current situation was also beyond their expectations. They originally thought that the Holy Land asked the Navy to send combat forces to Marijoa in order to monitor these pirates and protect the Celestial Dragons, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to attack the New World.

However, now, the World Government has easily brought these pirates under control and launched a ruthless siege on the remaining pirates.

That would be fine, the navy could complete this kind of work, but it is obviously unreasonable for Garin Shengdu, one of the Five Elder Stars, to take action personally. To put it simply, isn't it a bit of an overreaction?

There was no need to divert his gaze, the perception of his Observation Haki had already clearly conveyed the restlessness of the navy behind him, but it was obvious that Garin Sheng would not explain much about it. Since it was information concerning the Sun God, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"The World Government never needs a reason to do anything. As for why they are targeting you, perhaps you can understand that the Celestial Dragons can no longer tolerate Garp's disrespectful attitude.

We can bestow upon him the title of Hero of the Navy, and we can also take it back. Not directly attacking him is already an exceptional act of mercy, but the punishment he deserves cannot be escaped. That's right, as the son of a navy, he has to become a pirate. Monkey D. Luffy, you will bear the punishment for him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, amid the anxious looks of Ace and the others, Garin Sheng's figure had already appeared in front of Luffy - the Western sword in his hand was flashing with a cold light. The power was not enough to kill him, but it could make him lose his fighting ability.

"Damn it—rubber..."

The slash that was difficult to capture with the naked eye fell head-on, and the entanglement of the Conqueror's Haki gave it an indescribable terrifying pressure. At the critical moment, even if Luffy had mobilized all his Haki and all his attention to set up a defense, the sheer Haki gap made this idea ultimately fail!

"too slow!"

The long sword swept across, and the domineering aura wrapped around the surface of the elastic man instantly disintegrated like snow encountering the warm sun. The strange patterns belonging to the fruit ability quickly disappeared like the withering of a night-blooming cereus.

At this time, Luffy was facing Garin Saint, just like the first time he met Kaido in the original work. They were completely on a different level. In the original work, Kaido still had plans to recruit the other party and make him gradually surrender, but Garin Saint, or Im, would not have such thoughts at all.

Facts have proven that the World Government cannot control this fruit. In this case, it would be better to imprison it in the body of a person with special abilities and keep it under strict supervision. As long as it cannot awaken, it will be just an ordinary "rubber fruit" that will not cause any trouble.

"Heh, is this the Nika of this generation? He looks a bit like her, but he's nothing to write home about."

In a moment, Garin Sheng had sheathed his sword and looked at Luffy who was in a coma in front of him, and couldn't help but think so.

However, just as he was about to call Cyril and Saint to escort Luffy to prison, he saw a ball of fire coming at him rapidly, accompanied by a dazzling knife light.

"You're going to take our companions away so openly, so as not to appear arrogant!"

Zoro's eyes were solemn, without any fear or trembling when facing a strong enemy, but only a strong will to fight and an anger that was difficult to suppress, both towards the enemy and himself.

"As a chef, do you know how rare it is to have a customer who accepts all offers? Damn you! Breaking through might be difficult, but retreating is not the knight's style!"

A black capsule appeared in Sanji's hand at some point. With a flash of light, the chef in a suit and tie disappeared, replaced by a warrior who had awakened Germa technology.

At the same time, Kuina also fully displayed the human-beast form of the Fear Cat Fruit, and Chopper decisively swallowed the "Rumbo Ball" he had carefully developed, turning into a huge reindeer giant.

Even though they knew resistance might be futile, everyone was still determined to advance and retreat together. This was something they had decided to do since they set sail, even if what awaited them ahead might be hell.

"Hey, Five Elders, don't forget, I'm also your grandson!"

Raging flames gradually gathered around Ace, boiling at his fingertips, and a blazing "sun" rose up. Looking at the unconscious Luffy, Ace gritted his teeth secretly. The responsibility on his shoulders had forced him to make a decision.

“Although he is adopted, as the eldest brother, I cannot watch my brother’s future ruined!

And, perhaps you don't know, Portgas is my mother's last name. As for my real name...

. . .

Actually it’s Gol D. Ace!

What did that guy see and gain in Raftel? Don't you want to know? As his son, I know it all!
