章節 230: Will Hancock fall in love?
Luffy was being beaten left and right by both Kizaru and Sentomaru. But suddenly, after a bit of fighting, Luffy's body turned into white smoke and vanished. This surprised both Sentomaru and Kizaru.
Kizaru knew that these people were supposed to be some kind of ninjas and were pretty fast, but Kizaru was sure that he had better Observation Haki than them. So, how could he vanish just like that?
And then a laugh was heard from the distance.
"Hahahahahaha. You guys are funny... Hahahaa..."
They turned around only to see Luffy sitting on a branch of the huge Mangrove tree. Kizaru and Sentomaru could already tell that they were being played. Seeing no bruises on Luffy's body meant that he had used some technique to make them fight a look-alike.
They had been led in circles all this time.
"Mugiwara... What kind of technique did you use?"
"Me? Shadow clone jutsu," Luffy replied honestly.
"What?" Sentomaru was surprised. He really didn't expect Luffy to know actual ninja techniques. Though he had been cautioned, he didn't know that Luffy knew those actual techniques he had heard of in legends.
As they were talking, two men suddenly appeared and stood behind Luffy. They had come out of nowhere. Kizaru and Sentomaru were also surprised to see two men. One of them Kizaru had already met before: Monkey D. Kenny. The other was a man who was quite feared in the seas: Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.
"You banana man. I heard you got trolled by my brother," Ken said.
"Hahahaha. Luffy, you did a wonderful job," Sabo laughed.
Kizaru got irritated again and flew towards them to teach them a lesson.
"Dragon Punch."
"Gum Gum No: Pistol."
"Fist of Love."
All three brothers retaliated against Kizaru with Haki simultaneously. This was a coordinated attack, and Kizaru was heavily punched down and landed on the ground with a loud thud. Sentomaru, who was ready to help Kizaru, was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect these three men to know Haki and actually be able to beat down an Admiral together.
"Sabo... You have progressed so much in Haki. I envy you," Ken said, as he could easily tell that Sabo's Armament Haki was better than his.
"Dragon-san taught me a lot over the years," Sabo felt a little embarrassed.
"Mugiwara... Revolutionary Army... You think you can escape after kidnapping a Celestial. The Marines will hunt you down," Sentomaru shouted.
"Oh... You think you can escape after kidnapping our brother," Sabo said.
"Brother? Who?" Sentomaru asked.
"Ask Kizaru... He knows the answer," Ken said. "You are late, Sabo."
"Sorry. Had a lot to do with my new abilities so took sometime. Let's go."
Sabo opened a portal in front of them, and the three brothers proceeded to walk in, the portal closing behind them. Sentomaru couldn't even react before the portal closed. He was dumbfounded. Kizaru had finally gotten up from the ground. He cleaned his clothes a bit and said, "It seems we have more enemies now." Kizaru sighed.
"What was he talking about? Brother?" Sentomaru asked.
"This is top secret for now. You will know soon," Kizaru said and then proceeded to call the headquarters. Sabo's arrival in Sabaody meant the Revolutionary Army was there. This posed a problem for the Navy. The execution wouldn't go peacefully, it seemed.
Meanwhile, the portal opened on an island in the Calm Belt. The island was surrounded by calm waters infested with huge beasts, making it inaccessible except for special sea stone warships of the Navy. However, on this particular island, there was another type of ship that could sail to and fro—the Snake Princess, Boa Hancock.
There was a reason they were here. Of course, it was Ken who suggested this, as he had a general idea of what was going to happen. It would be difficult for the brothers to infiltrate Impel Down without causing a huge ruckus. So it was better to get someone on the inside to help them.
"Luffy, you are on your own," Ken said as the brothers landed through the portal.
"Ken, do you really think this idiot brother of ours will be able to convince Snake Princess to help us infiltrate Impel Down?" Sabo was very skeptical about this, but Ken seemed to be optimistic.
"Yes, as long as he speaks the truth and expresses his hatred for the Celestial Dragons. Luffy, you can also say that you are ready to give them the Celestial Dragons as gifts if they want," Ken said.
"Okay... Got it," Luffy replied and went running into the forest.
"Wait, Luffy... Listen to the plan," Sabo called out, but Luffy was way too fast to listen to anyone. He was gone.
"Don't worry, our plans will never get inside his head anyways," Ken assured him. With that, they hid on the island while Luffy ran wild throughout the entire forest. Of course, he was seen by the women of the island who tried to catch him.
But they failed, and he asked them where he could find Boa. The women grew angrier and ran after him. In the end, he somehow ended up meeting Boa, who had just returned from a hunt and was being followed by a Vice Admiral trying to get her to Marineford.
Ken watched all of this from afar. He even recognized the Vice Admiral—it was Momonga. However, he could also see that Momonga was missing an arm and was now one-handed.
"I heard you traumatized the Navy in Water 7," Sabo teased.
"Well, they deserved it. Did you talk with Dragon about what I mentioned before?"
"Yes, the Revolutionary Army has already started making preparations. The Lulusia Kingdom will be taken care of much earlier."
"Good, and take care of Cobra. He will be a great asset politically," Ken said.
While they were discussing, Luffy encountered Hancock in the bath and noticed her slave mark. And thus here the story followed the exact same path, but this time it was Luffy who came forward and asked for help instead of begging for the lives of others.
He told of Celestial Dragons and he said that he knew that she hated them.
