Other corridors within the compound.

"Tsk, why can't I get into the path even though it's right in front of me? Is it a maze?!"

Zoro stared at the corridor ahead, veins bulging on his forehead.

He has already run quite a distance, but no matter what, he will eventually return here.

He could clearly sense that Luffy's presence was very close to him, but he just couldn't get closer.

What's going on with this base?!

Just as Zoro was hesitating, a bunch of arms suddenly grew out of the wall, all pointing in the same direction.

"Robin?"

Zoro saw the arm and a smile played on his lips. "Thanks, now I can get out of the maze!"

As he spoke, he ran forward, and just as he was about to enter the passageway ahead, he suddenly changed direction and ran to the right.

Snap!

Several more hands grew from the wall, forming a spider web that blocked Zoro's path. The hands pointed back.

"Huh? Isn't this the way?" Zoro frowned.

...

Franky and Robin stood together.

Robin closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and pulled his palms upward.

"Did you find it, Robin?" Franky asked.

After a while, Robin opened her eyes and smiled, "Well, Zoro took a little time, but everyone else has been found. Let's go to Luffy's place."

"Hey! Let's meet up and go find Sonny!" Franky exclaimed.

"Nail Fist Technique - Straight Down Nail!"

Franky instinctively turned around, his two massive arms blocking the way.

Bang!

A burst of energy exploded on his arm, forcing him to take two steps back.

"Nicole Robin, Franky!"

Not far away, with his navy cloak fluttering, Sazir approached, clenching his fist. "You're under arrest!"

“It’s the Navy,” Robin said.

"Hey, Navy, are you alone? Or maybe you shouldn't block our way!"

Franky shouted, "One person can't stop us!"

"Shut up, you pirate!"

Sazier gritted his teeth and said, "Because of you, I have lost face in front of Mr. Crow. This matter is not over until you are arrested!"

He pulled his fist back, braced himself at the waist, and lunged forward, simultaneously throwing a punch.

"Nail Fist Technique - Exploding Nails!"

The energy surged out, transforming into countless needle-like spikes that exploded.

Seeing this, Franky stretched out a giant hand, "Weapon Left Hand!"

With his left hand, he fired a large number of bullets, which crashed into the energy blasts.

Bang!

The energy and the bullet were dispersed together, and at that moment, Sazir had already rushed up to Franky.

A touch of Armament Haki appeared on his fist as he slammed it down.

"Franky Metal Boxing!"

At the same time, Franky fearlessly slammed down with a punch; the enormous metal fist was almost comparable to Sazir's body.

Bang!!

Sazier's punch landed squarely on Franky's chest, while Franky's fist also struck Sazier's body.

With one punch, Sazir was sent flying.

"It hurts a lot."

Franky took a few steps back, clutching his chest and saying angrily.

"Do cyborgs feel pain too?" Robin asked.

"I still retain a little bit of pain."

Although he is not afraid of cannons and bullets, he retained the ability to feel pain when he was modified back then, and even though he has been upgraded in the past two years, he has not gotten rid of this pain.

Only in this way can he still be considered a human being...

"Let's go, this navy has failed." Franky said, turning to leave.

"Wait! Don't go, pirates!"

Sazel, sent flying by a punch, quickly got to his feet, wiped the blood from his mouth, and snarled, "You think you can make me submit to this level of attack?! Don't dream about it! I'm a man who has been tempered by countless trials!"

"Wow! A real man!"

Franky's eyes lit up, and he struck his signature pose. "When it comes to being a real man, I won't admit defeat!"

"Pirates!" Sazir roared as he charged forward.

"Navy!" Franky brandished his massive metal arm, ready to meet the attack.

"Sixty blooms on one tree!"

Just then, Robin crossed his arms, and a giant hand suddenly appeared in front of him, slamming into Sazel and sending him flying.

"Don't waste any more time, let's hurry up and meet up first." Robin said, turning and walking forward.

"A duel between men..." Franky muttered dejectedly, glanced in the direction where Sazir had been sent flying, sighed, and followed after him.

...

Bang!

In front of the gate where the ships are impounded.

Fists and claws collided.

Kuro flashed around, and after his wolf claws collided with Luffy's fist, he lifted them upwards, the sharp claws sliding off Luffy's fist and directly stabbing towards his arm.

when!

A touch of Armament Haki appeared on Luffy's steaming arm, and then his body disappeared, followed by a gust of wind that sounded in front of Kuro's head.

"it's useless!"

Kuro smiled confidently, tilted his head to dodge Luffy's arm that shot out like a pistol, and then raised his claws, aiming straight for Luffy's neck.

"I've tasted your blood, so I know exactly what you're doing!"

"Next, you will dodge my attacks, but..."

The outstretched claw suddenly stabbed forward, striking Luffy's chest as he prepared to dodge.

laugh!

Luffy quickly stepped back, adjusted his straw hat, and looked at the bloodstains on his chest. "That was dangerous, you bastard."
