Chapter 138As companions for many years, even after not seeing each other for a few, he instantly understood Lucci's unfinished words.It was unwillingness, a desire to challenge him once again."Even if your Doriki is much higher than mine, the battle just now proved that none of us in CP9 are his match."Jabra said in a deep voice, "The intelligence I have is limited. But without a doubt, the World Government's two-hundred-million bounty on Straw Hat Luffy is definitely not inflated; they might have even given him too little."He recalled the suffocating pressure he felt when fighting Luffy and continued, "It's not like we haven't dealt with the Seven Warlords of the Seabefore. But even those guys didn't feel as high-pressure as Straw Hat. The aura on him is that of a fully-formed powerhouse."Powerhouses he has clashed with, besides Crocodile, include the current Marine Headquarters Captain Smoker, a Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit user, and the new nominee for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach."Such an existence was no longer something CP9 could handle independently.A guy like this has immense potential; as long as he doesn't die young, becoming a hegemon of a region is almost a certainty.If he successfully enters the New World, he can definitely secure a place for himself!And how long has it been since Luffy set out to sea and got his first bounty?This growth rate is simply appalling.Kaku clutched his chest, where it still throbbed with pain, and said solemnly, "Against a guy like this, Rokushiki is completely useless. His Taijutsu and Haki completely crush us. My Doriki is like a joke in front of him.""The—there is even worse news. That Straw Hatkid, he personally said he's targeting Enies Lobby; he wants to declare war on the World Government."At this moment, Blueno, who had previously fainted, struggled to wake up and weakly added, "Besides Straw Hat, there are many other formidable members in the Straw Hat Pirates.""Declare war on the World Government?!"Jabra gasped, letting out a sound that was almost a sigh, "Then we're really in big trouble."They all knew very well what it meant for Luffy to possess Conqueror's Haki, especially after having personally experienced the terror of Luffy's Conqueror's Haki.That kingly disposition meant he possessed a spirit and potential that surpassed ordinary people. Would the ten thousand troops stationed on Enies Lobby really be useful against a Luffy who possessed Conqueror's Haki?From the battle in the train car just now, it was clear that the number of fodder was meaningless in the face of absolute quality. Unless they were elite Marines or officer-level personnel who also mastered Haki.The ten thousand troops stationed on Enies Lobbywould have a negligible effect against Haki of that level.But mobilizing Marine elites takes time.What they lacked was time.Chapter 200: Brother Fun Wants to Take Some MedsEven if they know now that Luffy is going to Enies Lobby, will the Marine Headquarters have time to react?A pirate with a two-hundred-million bounty, though exaggerated in the first half of the Grand Line, is only at that level; the higher-ups couldn't possibly focus all their attention on him."Mobilizing Marine reinforcements takes time."Kalifa pushed up her glasses and analyzed, "And the only Marine forces that can reach Enies Lobbyin time are those near Water 7, which probably aren't enough to threaten the Straw Hat Pirates."Enies Lobby, one of the three major organizations under the World Government, is a symbolic existence that absolutely cannot have anything go wrong.After they report the news, Marine Headquarters will definitely send troops, but can they hold out until reinforcements arrive?Jabra actually didn't hold much hope in his heart.The strength Straw Hat displayed was too oppressive."If he comes, then let me have my fun."Lucci suddenly began to sneer, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.It didn't matter to him that CP9 was defeated by one person; what he cared about was the mission.But as long as the mission required it, no matter how strong the opponent was, he would even dare to take action against the Four Emperors.That's why he had unhesitatingly cut off the train car earlier, completely disregarding the lives of the World Government officials and Marines in the cars behind.The Pluton blueprints on Franky are the most important thing right now and cannot be lost. He admitted Luffy was strong. But who said he had shown his full power?Lucci looked at Jabra:"I heard that when you were out on a mission before, you seized a batch of drugs from the black market that originated from Fish-Man Island?"Jabra's expression changed abruptly: "Lucci, you don't mean...?"Lucci reached out his hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Give them to me."Jabra said, "That drug is said to be a mixed experimental product of stimulants and enhancers from Fish-Man Island. The effects are violent and extremely unstable, the side effects are unknown, and it hasn't undergone any strict clinical trials. It's listed as a forbidden drug by the World Government.""Give them to me."Lucci repeated, his gaze cold, "The mission must be completed today."As for whether using external help was honorable, in Lucci's eyes, it wasn't even worth mentioning. Completing the mission was the highest principle.Looking at Lucci's eyes, Jabra knew he couldn't refuse. He could only grit his teeth, take a small box from his breast pocket, and hand it over.Lucci opened the box; inside were some crimson pills emitting an ominous aura....In the first half of the Grand Line, in the sea before the Red Line, there exists a massive whirlpool.Marine Headquarters Marineford, the underwater prison Impel Down, and the island of judgment Enies Lobby stand at the edges of the whirlpool, forming the Tarai Current exclusive to the World Government.The going merry and the rocketman, with only its engine car remaining, rode side-by-side under the boost of Vivi's wind power, cutting through the surging waves and racing toward the island shrouded in daylight."Everyone of the Straw Hat Pirates, I can see the island!"Kokoro's hearty shout came from the rocketman's cockpit. It reached everyone's ears clearly through the wind and rain.Luffy stood on the Merry's figurehead, looking ahead, his pupils dilating slightly:"Oh, so that's Enies Lobby?"The sight before them was indeed shocking.Surrounding them was the pitch-black night, with a storm brewing in the dark clouds and lightning dancing wildly. However, in the center of this darkness and chaos, the sky seemed to have been opened by an invisible force, casting down a massive, solid pillar of light that completely enveloped the island, making it appear in a state of daylight that was completely out of place with its surroundings.Not only that, but from the going merry's position, they could clearly see a giant circular waterfall rushing endlessly around the island.Below the waterfall was a bottomless darkness, like an abyss leading straight to hell.The entire island thus looked like a divine realm floating in the sky!This was the wonder and magnificence of the sea; if not seen with one's own eyes, it would be impossible to imagine."The Island of Daylight, the Never-Night Island—that is Enies Lobby."Robin brushed back a strand of hair blown by the sea breeze, her tone calm, but a flicker of complexity crossed the depths of her eyes.That place was supposed to be her place of judgment, the end of her life on the run. But now everything was different."It's said that there is never a night there, eternal day, symbolizing the World Government's so-called absolute light and justice."Vivi added, a hint of undetectable irony in her voice.Luffy curled his lip, looking disdainful:"The World Government just loves these flashy things."The sea train and the going merry braved the wind and waves, breaking through the edge of the storm and entering the sea area enveloped in eternal light.Even the violent wind and rain seemed to be cut off at this moment, unable to affect this land of light."But how are we going to get across?"Sanji lit a cigarette, looking at the massive iron fence that towered into the clouds and surrounded all of Enies Lobby. "That fence isn't going to open the door for us voluntarily.""I'll do it."Luffy grinned, leaping down from the Merry's figurehead and landing at the very front.He took a deep breath, his right arm muscles bulging as he suddenly stretched it backward. Armament Haki instantly coiled around it, and his skin turned bright red, emitting steam."Gum-Gum—Hegemony!"Boom!A massive white fist phantom, entwined with black and red lightning, struck the indestructible giant iron fence like the impact of a titan.Amidst the deafening roar, the iron fence, which was strong enough to withstand warship cannon fire, was instantly blown open with a massive gap like it was made of paper, with shattered iron bars flying everywhere!Gulp.The members of the Franky Family watched this scene, collectively swallowing hard, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.Wh—What kind of monstrous strength is this?!"It looks like someone is already waiting for us."Luffy retracted his fist, his gaze scanning the area behind the fence.The CP9 members were no longer here.What came into view were over a thousand Marines and World Government officials who had received word from the CP9 members who had just arrived.They had prepared themselves before coming.The great pirate with a two-hundred-million bounty, Straw Hat Luffy, might invade Enies Lobby.They had gathered so many people just to arrest him!Initially, they thought it was a bit laughable. A pirate with two hundred million dared to actively attack Enies Lobby? It was a bit far-fetched.And what were they after?Until they saw a giant's fist blow away the fence, and the King Bull and rocketman flying in from the sky, their smiles turned stiff.Opposite them, the Marine Captain in charge of command looked at the fence that had been blown open by brute force. His facial muscles twitched, but he still forced himself to remain calm, drawing his saber and pointing it at Luffy:"Confirmed to be the Straw Hat crew! The intruders have arrived! Law's Watchdog Unit, prepare! Where are those two bastards Oimo and Kashi?!"Chapter 201: Buster Call Activated"Report, Captain! They went back to sleep again!""Those two slacking Giant Race bastards! Go wake them up, now!"The Captain cursed in rage, then swung his blade to order, "Artillery squad, provide cover from the back! Everyone else, follow me to intercept!""Yes, sir!"Luffy leaped up and was the first to set foot on Enies Lobby.At the same time, Luffy's intrusion also alerted the troops stationed on the island."Let's get to work."Luffy cracked his knuckles. Since the CP9 members weren't here, it was the perfect time to clear out the fodder.A group of Marines stood in front of Luffy, but at this moment, no one dared to charge forward.Even though he hadn't done anything and was just walking forward, it inexplicably made people feel afraid.A pirate with two hundred million.He really is different!"Straw Hat Luffy!"A Marine finally couldn't take it anymore, aimed his gun at Luffy, and roared, "To think you'd dare come to Enies Lobby! You're under arrest!"Like a fuse being lit, the people forming a perimeter in front either raised their guns or gripped their weapons, all aiming at Luffy.Dense gunfire and artillery fire instantly rang out, bullets flying like rain, and shells whistling toward him with trails of flame."What a grand welcoming ceremony."Sanji walked to the front with his hands in his pockets. "We have to give them something in return."Clang!A clear sword chime rang out as Zoro had already drawn wado ichimonji, and a massive blue slash spiraled out like a flying bird."108 Pound Phoenix!"The shells in the air were instantly and precisely split in two, exploding into a brilliant and deadly fireball in mid-air."It's Roronoa Zoro with a sixty-million bounty!""What are you afraid of? Fire!"Though the Marine soldiers were terrified, they still poured out their firepower without fear of death.
