Second gear!

Luffy stretched out his hand, his skin began to turn red, and a cloud of steam began to rise from his body.

Whoosh!

A laser beam struck his original spot, but Luffy had already disappeared and jumped into the air.

Just as PX-5 was about to turn around and charge again, a fist came flying straight at its face.

"Storm Kick!"

The pale blue slash flew straight toward the outstretched arm, and the fist suddenly retracted just as it was about to strike PX-5's face.

Snap!

Luffy retracted his arm in mid-air and glanced at Kuro, who was crossing his legs. "You're annoying."

"How could I possibly let you destroy a Pacifista!"

Kuro flashed around, a wave of energy bursting out from where he stood, and he quickly arrived in front of Luffy in mid-air, his five fingers outstretched, reaching out to grab him.

“Mr. Kuro, you treasure this!”

Bang!!

The fist and claw collided, producing a loud bang.

Kuro was stunned for a moment, staring at the black mark on Luffy's fist, and said in surprise, "You kid, you can already use Haki skillfully?"

After a single clash, both fighters retreated in mid-air. Luffy spun a few times before landing on the ground, shaking his hand and saying, "Ouch, that hurts!"

Kro landed back on the ground, cracked his knuckles, licked his lips, and bowed slightly. "Finally, finally this opportunity has come, Straw Hat Boy. I've always wanted to defeat you myself. You've always gotten away before, but not this time. You want to go to sea... it won't be that easy!"

"Hey, Luffy!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind the square.

Zoro and Sanji ran over and waved to Luffy, saying, "It really is you! It's still as lively as ever!"

"Oh! Zoro! Sanji! Long time no see!"

Luffy smiled and said, "I really missed you guys!"

"Luffy, hurry up! Rayleigh said you're here and sent us to pick you up!" Sanji waved to him and said.

Upon seeing the approaching figure, another Pacifista PX-7 charged forward, its mouth converging with laser beams.

Zoro and Sanji, one below and one above, one wielding three swords and the other delivering a high-flying kick, attacked PX-7.

"Walking alone with empty feet!"

Suddenly, Sentomaru appeared in front of PX-7, pushed his palms forward, and released his domineering aura, forming a barrier.

when!!

Bang!!

The legs and the blade were blocked by Haki some distance away from Sentomaru, making a sound.

The two of them, one above the other, arrived behind Sentomaru and PX-7.

"That's truly domineering."

Zoro, biting his sword, grinned as he looked back.

"I didn't know before, but I do now."

Sanji crossed his legs and snorted coldly.
