Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Page 261

Luffy's voice grew weaker. Jack's footsteps gradually faded on the steps.

"Wow!" came a gasp.

Usopp slowly opened his eyes.

This was something he never expected. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his limbs were bound.

"What? What happened?"

Usopp instinctively shouted, but because he was standing too high, his vision blurred again, and he seemed to have fainted again.

This is a platform at the highest point of the city. Usopp is nailed to a huge cross. It's as if a gust of wind could send shivers down your spine.

"You're awake? It's good that you're still alive."

"Sanji, you're such an idiot."

Thankfully, everyone was safe and sound! Usopp sighed. Beside him, Sanji was also bound.

"What about the other two?"

"It's alright, Zoro and Luffy will definitely help us."

In the hall, the elevator near the throne was opened!

"Ouch!" Zorro!

"Nami called out from beside the elevator. Pien tossed Akis aside and carried Zorro inside."

Dr. Ronkin helped Archis up. Nami was also worried about Archis's condition.

"He appears to be unconscious."

His heart was beating fast, but he felt nothing at all, and there wasn't even any external injury.

How could you do such a cruel thing to a child?

The doctor looked at Belkin with hatred.

Zorro was brought before Sanji and Usopp.

"And what about that kid with thirty million Berries?"

Belkin asked curiously.

"He's right here in the yard!"

Pien Jack stood in a corner of the bar. Inside, there were numerous buttons and levers that controlled various machines throughout the city.

"Pfft! We haven't even had a chance to test Lord Belkin's strength yet."

"Then my wedding with the bride is about to begin!"

"Then let's get the wedding going!"

Several of the guys playing cards were all trying to curry favor with Belkin.

"Alright! Then, let's try out this killer weapon before the wedding."

Belkin walked over to the King's Cannon with great interest and took down the curtain on it.

"Ah!" A scream rang out.

Nami instinctively covered her mouth.

This colossal wind-up cannon—no, wait, it was a gigantic wind-up war machine. The gun carriage consisted of armor plates and wheels, driven by springs. A single shot could blast a large ship to pieces; it was truly terrifying.

"The history of the King's Cannon. Its targets were these three people. Nami, I'll make you my bride and groom!"

Belkin walked triumphantly onto the King's Cannon.

“Professor, Mr. Belkin, you teach him how to use the ‘King Cannon’!”

Skank Varn commanded, “This is my order.”

The doctor handed Akis to Nami and then stood up.

"Nami, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"You have your only chance to escape. Once Belkin fires the 'King Cannon,' you can run away with him!"

"What... what's going on?"

"Hurry up! Don't waste Lord Belkin's time."

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

The doctor said goodbye to Nami and walked towards the murder weapon he had designed.

Through the transparent glass window, you can see the giant island that is slowly rotating.

Chapter 298: The King of Pirates!

"boom!"

Luffy's stamina has also reached its limit.

The waist, shoulders, and knees were all working hard to support it.

Because he had inhaled too much air, his body had reached its limit. If this continued, he would be overwhelmed sooner or later.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Just then, the sound of a boot echoed from the staircase where Pien had left.

"Hey! What are you doing here? Come and help me!"

Luffy screamed in pain.

Polod leaned out of the window in the wall.

"Where is everyone else besides you? Where is Zorro?"

"Everyone's been taken away! Hey! Come help!"

"They're all dead! What a pity!"

Borod gave a cold laugh. He didn't seem to have any intention of helping Luffy.

"Oh dear! What's wrong?"

"What a disappointment! Whoever it is, they're all defeated by the Poker Brothers. I was thinking that if I hijacked your ship and brought you here, I could defeat them, but..."

"...?" What's going on?

Luffy: "..." Luffy didn't understand what Borod was talking about.

"What Pirate King? Moreover, he's a pirate wanted for 30 million."

Polod produced a document.

"This 371... isn't this my bounty of 729?" 119

"I was vacationing on the island of Sakura when I ran into you. Luffy, Luffy, and Zoro. I was thinking that with the two of you, I could beat them. So, I stole your ship and made you fight those two guys."

"Oh no! So you're the one who stole the Going Merry?"

"Yeah yeah."

"This ship is mine! Hand it over!"

Luffy flew into a rage, his strength waning, and the earth beneath his feet rose higher and higher.

"This is your boat."

"How could this happen? How did you manage to get that ship into the city?"

"I'll..." he said, then suddenly stopped.

Polod dropped the warrant.

"I gave them that pirate ship."

“Why?” Regner asked.

“I’m in cahoots with those two.”

Polod spoke with great logic and reason.

"Huh? Aren't you the world's number one thief?"

"Isn't this true? I'm just a despicable thief working for the Poker Brothers."

Polod's tone was full of disdain.

"This is too weird, isn't it? If you're one of the Poker Brothers, why did you bring us to play against them? Besides, didn't you come here just to steal the diamond ring?"

“You may be a pirate, but you rarely doubt others. That's a lie. As for Diamond Bell, that's irrelevant. However, I'm going to defeat those two. He must rescue the people of this island from the Poker Brothers no matter what. That's it.”

"How could this be? I don't understand."

"I want to free Clockwork Island from the control of the Card Brothers, and that's because of Archis."
