"That's amazing! The three of them can embark on the journey of their dreams together, which is really enviable!" Luffy exclaimed joyfully as he continued flipping through the pages.
"Wow! Tatsumi is so strong! He killed this dangerous species by himself, so powerful!" Luffy marveled.
"Although he and his little friend are temporarily separated, they will definitely get in touch when they arrive in the imperial capital."
"Yeah! Tatsumi has finally arrived in the imperial capital, and he will meet his little friend soon, right?"
"Huh? This recruiter is an idiot! He kicked Tatsumi out."
"Damn it, how did this bad woman cheat Tatsumi of his money! Why aren't there many good people in the imperial capital?"
"Hey~? You're being hasty! Miss Alia, who helped Tatsumi, is a very nice person, as gentle as Makino!"
...
This was Luffy's first experience reading Mangas. Like many fans introduced to Mangas for the first time, he quickly fell into the plot's rhythm, unable to put it down.
"Ah! Bastards!! These bastards of the night raid team, why did they kill the gentle and lovely Miss Alia!" Luffy erupted in anger when he witnessed the night raid team assaulting Miss Alia's house in the imperial capital.
It's so intense!
Eager to see the chapter where these night raid squads are dealt with, Luffy turned to the next page. However, when the tragic scene unfolded...
"Nani!!?" A complex mix of shock, disbelief, and unacceptance flashed across Luffy's face.
Luffy... is about to be shock...
As the plot unfolded, Luffy gradually grasped the dynamic between justice and evil in the Manga.
"Bastard!! These people are a million times more hateful than the nobles of Goa Kingdom!!" Luffy exclaimed, expressing his intense emotions toward the story.
Observing the corrupt actions of the nobles and officials, Luffy's internal anger reached its boiling point!
"Why are these innocent people being executed!?" Luffy couldn't contain his fury.
"Bastard! Stop the damn executioner!"
"Ahhh! I want to beat this group of scumbags away!"
...
Unable to bear the sight of innocent people about to be executed in the square, Luffy's frustration reached a breaking point.
He looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Asshole! Stop it! ——"
Boom! — The sound of thunder echoed through the air.
Tick-tock...
Raindrops pattered on the ground, splashing on Luffy's legs. The executioner on the platform froze in astonishment, gazing downward. The crowd around stared in shock; their attention fixated on Luffy.
"Ah~...?" Luffy, sensing the collective gaze, looked down at his open palm, where the cold raindrops landed.
What's happening? This rain, this sensation...It's all real! Shouldn't I be on Logan's boat?
Luffy stomped the ground.
"This... is this person crazy?"
"How dare he openly behave like this!"
"Crazy! This is a capital offense!" The crowd around Luffy reacted with shock and disapproval.
After a brief period of shock, the surrounding crowd erupted into horrified discussions.
In a corner not far away, Mine and Tatsumi were watching the execution, having come to the imperial capital to gather information. While they wanted to save the people being executed, their rationality forced them to give up on such a dangerous act. However, the sudden appearance of the straw hat boy left them utterly dumbfounded.
Tatsumi widened his eyes and exclaimed, "No, that brave boy is about to suffer!"
"Idiot! Why is he so reckless? Not only can't he save anyone, but he'll put himself in danger," Mine clenched her small fists, feeling annoyed at Luffy's impulsive behavior.
"Bastard! What are you doing!"
Oka, the captain of the imperial capital's defense, roared in anger. "Continue the execution! They are criminals who slandered the minister; they should be executed immediately!"
"What about that person?"
"Go after him! You dare to disturb the execution of the soldiers of the empire; you deserve death!"
Amidst the anger of Captain Oka, another soldier broke through the crowd and rushed toward Luffy.
On the execution platform, after the executioners regained their senses, they raised their butcher Sword high again.
"Although I don't know why i appeared here, but ah... this is just as I wished!!——"
Luffy stomped his feet and jumped high using the force of his rubber-like body.
"Rubber Gun!!—"
Boom!
As an executioner raised his sword, his head got punch, and he fell to the ground instantly.
"What!!! How can his hands stretch so long?"
"Oh my god, did I get dazzled just now???"
"I heard that among the strong men in Imperial Fist, there is an existence that can manipulate their own bodies to attack!"
"Could it be that he is also from Imperial Fist? But why would people from Imperial Fist come to deal with the imperial guards?"
Ignoring the shock of the surrounding crowd, Luffy punched one of the executioners flying, grabbed the execution frame, and pulled his body onto the execution platform.
"Kill him!" Several executioners shouted fiercely and lunged at Luffy.
Swish!
"Rubber Whip!"
Luffy's leg transformed into a long whip, thrashing left and right. The executioners, who proved to be no match for him, were swiftly knocked out.
"You want to die!!" The enraged Captain Oka, a formidable swordsman, drew his sword and charged onto the execution platform. "I'm going to chop you into pieces!"
"I'll beat you up first!"
Rubber Gutling gun! — Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! ...
Fists fell like a rainstorm , relentlessly pummeling Captain Oka's body. He was tossed around like a rag doll.
Boom! — With the final punch, Oka's body shot up into the sky like a cannonball, traversing several rooftops before disappearing from view.
[Battle experience value +1000!]
[Fruit proficiency +1000!]
[Haki prototype experience value +1000!]
Above Luffy's head, an invisible transparent interface displayed a few prompts.
Quiet! — Silence! — The scene fell into a dead hush! Everyone stared at Luffy on the scaffold in disbelief.
In the imperial capital, the captain of the defense force was sent flying...
Is this person... crazy!?
Even the night raid squad, which terrified the imperial capital, only engaged in assassination activities and never took action in such a large crowd!
"Catch him!"
With a stern command, a large number of soldiers from the imperial defense team rushed toward the execution platform from all directions.
The civilians who had been spectating fled hastily. While they were residents of the imperial capital, their lives were no different from the minions of the empire. It was fine to watch the spectacle, but when life itself was at stake, nobody wanted to take a second look.
"It's just right!"
Facing the oncoming imperial soldiers, Luffy not only showed no fear but was filled with excitement.
He continued walking, looking back and throwing punches. With each blow, an imperial garrison soldier fell to the ground.
[Battle experience value +1000!]
[Fruit proficiency +1000!]
[Haki prototype experience value +1000!]
[Battle experience value +1000!]
[Fruit proficiency +1000!]
[Haki prototype experience value +1000!]
...
Transparent reminders kept appearing above Luffy's head.
Behind him, beams of energy accurately targeted every garrison soldier attempting to sneak attack Luffy.
"That person... is too strong!" Beside Mine, Tatsumi, acting as the guard, watched the battle scene and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.
"Well, he's strong, but he can't be so reckless. We have to save him; he has the qualifications to join the night raid."
While he spoke, Mine's accuracy in shooting remained unaffected.
Her eyes were sharp, and everywhere she looked, it was the moment when the guard soldiers fell.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
When the last Imperial Guard soldier fell unconscious under the bombardment of Luffy's rubber gatling gun, the entire square fell into complete silence.
Not only that, even the surrounding streets were eerily quiet.
Those people had already run back home, shivering.
They knew that such rebellious behavior was something the empire would never tolerate!
Soon there would be a cleansing by the Empire!
Not only that, the lengthy battle on the other side of the square must have already alarmed the empire.
The monsters from Army must be on their way.
Huchi~huchi~~
Luffy clenched his fists and drooped naturally.
He lowered his head, panting heavily.
"Hey! Why are you still standing there? Get out of here!"
The pink figure appeared behind Luffy, the voice carrying a hint of complaint and coquettishness, but undeniably cute.
Luffy looked back and saw Mine holding the gun, gesturing with a "come here" movement, then ran toward the alley.
Mine ran a few steps but heard Tatsumi shout, "Hey, hey, you ran in the wrong direction. That's the way to the palace!"
She looked back and saw that Luffy was not following her and Tatsumi but walking toward the avenue leading to the palace.
The two quickly rushed over and stopped Luffy.
"Hey! We want to save you. Follow us first. We will introduce our organization to you when we are in a safe place."
Mine's legs were spread apart, and she crossed her arms angrily.
"No, you're a night raider, I know."
Luffy remained expressionless and walked past Mine.
At that moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of the oppressed people.
His mind was full of a desire to defeat the minister and the king!
Run away?
Well, those words were not in Luffy's dictionary.
When Luffy directly revealed their identities, Mine and Tatsumi's expressions changed simultaneously.
Even the empire didn't know the identities of the two night raiders, but the person in front of them revealed it immediately.
For a while, Mine and Tatsumi were confused.
Have we been exposed?
However, looking at Luffy's appearance, this person should not be a bad guy.
After thinking about it, Mine decided not to dwell on it but reminded, "Hey! Where are you going? That's the road leading to the palace."
"That's right, I'm going to the palace. I'm going to beat that bastard minister and puppet emperor away!"
Luffy's voice was cold, but he didn't stop his steps.
"Ah~?"
Tatsumi opened his mouth wide in shock, "Hey, hey! You..., although you are very strong, if you think so, you are sending yourself to death!"
Clap, clap, clap, clap! ...
At this moment, a burst of applause came from under the dim street lights ahead.
"Do you want to go to the palace to commit murder? Hahaha, then this road will not work~"
From the shadows, a burly bald man stepped out, with a scruffy and lush beard and two bull's eyes like copper bells, giving him a demonly appearance.
"What!"
Tatsumi took a step back subconsciously, his face full of shock.
Mine's expression changed drastically, and opened her mouth slightly: "It's not good, he is Sten among the four demons of Rakshasa..."
Tatsumi didn't know about the Raksha Four Demons, but Mine, as a night raid member, would definitely not miss on her homework on materials.
"Since he appears here, then..."
Mine subconsciously grabbed her gun and looked around. Sure enough, on a railing on the second floor, a cute girl with wheat-colored skin waved to Mine.
"Hi! Looking for me?"
Mez, one of the four Rakshasa demons, greeted Mine with a playful smile.
"Don't look, I'm here."
On the left, Suzuka, another of the four demons, emerged from the alley.
Tatsumi was nervous and counted: "One, two, three, there should be one more."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strong force on his neck and fell to the ground in the darkness.
"Tatsumi!"
Mine exclaimed, turning her head to see the last of the four demons appearing behind them—Ibara!
Without any extra hesitation, Mine bounced back and was about to shoot. But before she raised her gun, Ibara disappeared from her sight.
"Too slow~"
A teasing voice sounded in Mine's ear.
Boom! — heavy fist fell, and Mine fell unconscious on the ground.
"Bastard!! Get away from them!!"
"Rubber Gun!!—"
Luffy roared, and the rubber fist blasted out!
"Huh? Have you developed your body to the point where you can manipulate it at will?"
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and his arm stretched instantly like Luffy's, grabbing Luffy's fist that was about to hit the spine's back.
"Nani!? Are you also a Rubber Man??"
This scene directly stunned Luffy! ! !
Ibara turned around, glanced at Luffy, and said in that characteristic hangman voice: "Say goodbye to your companion~~"
As he said that, a large number of needle pricks emerged from his arm, and he stabbed at Tatsumi's head.
Hum~~
Seeing this scene, Luffy felt his blood pressure rushing into his head!
Although he hasn't spoken a few words with Tatsumi and Main, Luffy knows about the support that Mine and Tatsumi gave him just now.
For Luffy, as long as you have fought side by side with me, you are a friend who can count on him! !
Seeing that these two friends were about to die in front of his eyes, Luffy's emotions instantly reached the brink of collapse!
"Do not!—"
Luffy roared in grief.
Huh~
A gust of sea breeze blows on his face...
With a jerk, Luffy woke up.
"Ah~? I was just...?"
Feeling his own face, Luffy thought he was hallucinating.
But when he saw the manga in his hand, his eyes widened suddenly! !
Because the picture on this page is different from before! !
He remembered that the content of this page should be about the numbness of the onlookers after the execution of those innocent civilians.
But now...
Ibara of the Raksha Four Demons is swinging his arm, and the dense needle pricks on it are aiming at Tatsumi on the ground!
