Chapter 139However, as the dense hail of bullets approached the Straw Hat crew, they were blown askew by sudden gusts of wind appearing out of nowhere, falling into the sea one after another.On the coast, aboard the going merry, Viviextended both hands with a focused gaze, manipulating the air currents to construct an invisible wind barrier for her companions."Damn it, bullets are useless!""The cannon fire was blocked too!""Retreat! Prepare for close-quarters combat!"Seeing this, the Colonel had no choice but to order a retreat, attempting to use their numerical advantage for melee combat.However, before they could retreat, countless arms appeared like blooming flowers.They grew from their own bodies, from their companions, and from the ground, instantly locking onto their throats."Ugh!""What is this?!"Robin stood at the back, arms crossed over her chest, her gaze cold: "Cien Fleur: Clutch."In an instant, the front row of Marine soldiers fell unconscious in swaths, like mowed straw."Enies Lobby has been invaded!"Before losing consciousness, that Colonel only managed to let out one last desperate roar.Luffy grinned as he looked at the battlefield that had been cleared of a large area in an instant. His Conqueror's Haki leaked out slightly once more, causing the Marine soldiers attempting to charge from a distance to feel a pang of heart palpitations, their steps involuntarily slowing down."Are you ready, everyone?" Luffy turned back, completely ignoring these Marines, and asked his companions behind him.Sanji and Zoro both had fiery expressions on their faces."Let's begin.""I've been waiting for this."Luffy raised his arm, pointing toward the towering Tower of Justice deep within Enies Lobby."Then let's start."Vwoom!In his pupils, a crimson light flared. In this land of daylight, a black and red torrent erupted forward from Luffy at the center, surging toward these thousand-plus people like a tide.Instantly, the bodies of the thousand people trembled; one by one, they released their weapons, their mouths hanging open unconsciously, eyes rolling back as they collapsed onto the ground in heaps.Hiss.The members of the Franky Family gasped.What is this?They knew Luffy was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.A thousand people! They all just passed out like that?Meanwhile, in a luxurious office within the Tower of Justice, the core building of Enies Lobby."Damn it, you bastards failed the mission and still dare to snatch my Devil Fruits!"Spandam, with his light purple hair and comical appearance, slammed the table in a fit of rage, shouting at the two people in front of him.Before him were Kaku and Kalifa.Kaku and Kalifa each held a strangely shaped Devil Fruit, exactly the rewards Spandam had promised earlier.Kalifa pushed up her glasses and said expressionlessly:"Our mission was to ensure the blueprints for Pluton were obtained. Franky has already brought them back, so this part of the mission is complete. Therefore, these two Devil Fruits are what we deserve."As she spoke, she ignored the nauseating taste and forced herself to take a bite of the fruit; her face instantly turned pale, and she almost threw up."Damn it, damn it! Nico Robin was the primary objective!"Spandam slumped back into his chair, his expression grim.He had already received news that the Straw Hatcrew had landed and were advancing with unstoppable force."The Straw Hat Pirates actually came. Is a bunch of unknown little pirates really not afraid of death?"Spandam looked at the oddly shaped Golden Transponder Snail on the table.The Golden Transponder Snail, a device capable of initiating a special summons known to the world as the Buster Call; as long as the button is pressed, the Buster Call will be triggered.His eyes were filled with fear and hesitation."Enies Lobby has a standing force of ten thousand, plus the entire CP9 is gathered this time; is that not enough?""We've already lost to the Straw Hat boy. Although Lucci said he would stop him, don't hold any high expectations."After eating the Devil Fruit, Kaku had a look like he wanted to vomit, his expression solemn. "Enies Lobby is going to suffer this time."Spandam sneered, "I won't pin my hopes on you CP9 members. You don't know, but there's a big shot here at Enies Lobby right now.""Besides, that's an indiscriminate attack!"Spandam gritted his teeth. "Those Navy Vice Admirals are all arrogant as hell! If a Buster Call is really launched on Enies Lobby, who's going to be responsible for my safety!"There was a high probability he would die here."In that case, why did you press it?""Huh??"Hearing Kaku's voice, Spandam looked down in confusion, staring at his thumb pressed down on the transponder snail."I actually pressed it!!!" Spandam's eyes popped out instantly, his jaw dropping to the floor in shock!"Are you an idiot!!!"However, it was already too late.The eyes of the Golden Transponder Snail lit up with a red glow.Spandam's body shook like a leaf.It's over, it's over, people are going to die!A tiny button decides the survival of an island.Including everything that exists on the island, all will be annihilated.It is called an indiscriminate attack!Whether enemy or ally, everyone must die.Chapter 202: "Fun-loving Brother," You Didn't Let Me Have Enough FunThe first half of the Grand Line.Marine Headquarters, Marineford.In Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office, the atmosphere was originally quite peaceful.Sengoku was reviewing reports about the possible contact between Portgas D. Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Blackbeard Teach, his brow furrowed."Blackbeard, is this the certificate of loyalty you want to offer?"Sengoku sighed. "To disrupt the world order, are you starting with the strongest man in the world?"He took off his frog glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and reached into a drawer for a bag of rice crackers, preparing to enjoy a moment of peace.Suddenly.A sound appeared.A rapid, low, and highly piercing alarm sounded without warning from the corner of the office.Sengoku was startled, the rice crackers in his hand falling onto the table as he turned in horror toward the source of the sound.It was a special Silver Transponder Snail; it couldn't communicate, its only function was to receive signals from a paired Golden Transponder Snail.The last time it was activated was many years ago.The Buster Call has been launched?!Mere moments after the transponder snailsounded, the entire Marine Headquarters building became like a calm lake into which a giant boulder had been thrown, instantly boiling over.Sharp assembly whistles pierced the sky, and heavy footsteps rang out densely in the corridors and squares. Soldiers poured out from every corner, rushing to their posts, their faces filled with shock and solemnity.The mobilization of ten top-tier warships, five Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals, and nearly ten thousand elite Marines—even for MarineHeadquarters—would take time. All of Marinefordfell into a state of tense yet orderly chaos."What's going on? Where is the destination of the Buster Call?""Enies Lobby!""What?! Enies Lobby?!""Have the Four Emperors attacked Enies Lobby?"Many Marine soldiers suspected the Four Emperors were making a move; after all, the target of the last Buster Call was Ohara, which was rumored to possess world-destroying power.Meanwhile, Commodore Brannew rushed into Sengoku's office with a document, his tone urgent:"Fleet Admiral! This is the list of Vice Admirals currently at Headquarters who can be deployed at any time!""Momonga, Doberman, Onigumo, Yamakaji, and Strawberry—let those five go!""Yes!"Only Sengoku remained in the office, his face no longer composed, turning extremely grim.He slammed his fist onto the table: "You've got to be kidding me!"How many times has a Buster Call been launched in Marine history?The last time was Ohara, and this time it's actually Enies Lobby?Moreover, he had just spoken with Aokiji on the phone, and Aokiji clearly stated he was at Enies Lobby.An Admiral, plus the ten thousand troops guarding the island, and the CP9 elites—and they still need to launch a Buster Call to solve the problem.What kind of monster has come to Enies Lobby? Could it be that one of the Four Emperors has personally invaded?!Sengoku's heart was filled with doubt and an ominous premonition.Enies Lobby, Front Island Plaza.Luffy's group tore through the Front Island garrison's defense line like a hot knife through butter, advancing toward the Tower of Justice deep within the main island.Suddenly, Luffy stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharp as he looked toward a high point in the direction of the Tower of Justice."I've been waiting for you for a long time."A cold voice rang out.Rob Lucci was seen walking slowly out of the shadows of some ruins, blocking the path of Luffyand the others."Straw Hat Luffy, you actually came."Lucci looked at Luffy calmly, his face indifferent. "Are you going to declare war on the World Government? I have to admire your courage."Behind him, the CP9 members including Kaku, Jabra, Blueno, Fukuro, Kalifa, and Wedge lined up. Lucci stood at the front, with the others on either side of him, all with indifferent expressions."I never said I forgave you for taking Robin away earlier."Luffy pounded his fists. "Since you say it's an order from the World Government, then I'll respond to the World Government."Zoro and Sanji stepped forward; meanwhile, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Robin also stood behind Luffy.The two sides faced off.His gaze swept across the CP9 members, finally settling on Lucci, but he tilted his head slightly, as if sensing something."Leave these CP9 members to us," Zoro said."Just in time for revenge!" Sanji lit a cigarette.Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Robin also stepped forward, each locking onto an opponent.Luffy agreed.Because besides Lucci, he also felt a familiar presence."You look down on me?" Lucci's tone carried a hint of coldness."I'm more concerned about the person behind you," Luffy said.
