"I know."

Luffy followed Joy Boy's words, pulled the girl away in mid-air and ran away.

When the clones of Kizaru behind him lined up in a row because of the pursuit, he suddenly turned around and destroyed all the clones with one kick.

"Hey? Where's Kizaru?" Luffy found that Kizaru's real body was gone after cleaning up the clones.

"Hey~ little girl, you are Vegapunk's clone, right? It seems that you are one of the people he asked to kill."

Kizaru appeared above Lilith's head, and a shining golden light condensed between his fingers.

Whoosh!

A laser flew out, and it was completely different speed from when it shot Luffy.

Lilith's hair stood up, her back was cold, and she could only barely see that the laser seemed to be flying towards her.

Whoosh~

When Lilith was about to be killed by the laser, Luffy rushed over and turned into a big mouth monster and swallowed the laser in one gulp.

Boom~

The laser exploded inside his body, and Luffy's whole body became glittering.

"Luffy!" The crowd below shouted in worry.

"Hahahahahaha, I'm fine."

The drum of life in his chest resounded, and his injuries recovered quickly.

In this way, Kizaru relied on his own speed advantage to fight when he wanted to fight and escape when he wanted to escape. Luffy could only rely on himself to chase and fight.

During this period, Kizaru looked at the research institute where Vegapunk was located several times. He had many opportunities to destroy it, but he gave up every time.

Whenever he was about to take action, the bits and pieces of his past interactions with Vegapunk would come to his mind.

"Straw Hat Boy, are you almost at your limit?"

After a fierce battle, Kizaru noticed something and suddenly turned back, dragging a laser towards Luffy's head.

"Ah ... Here, Luffy used his ability to assimilate other people's bodies into rubber.

He used this trick to play with Kaido as a skipping rope.

"Yo~ It doesn't look good."

Kizaru was hit to the ground with a dizzy head, and knocked down three buildings in a row.

"Are all the kids of this new era monsters?" Kizaru lay on the ground and covered his head, thinking that he could take advantage of the opportunity to fish for a while.

Luffy's full-strength attack drained the last of his body's strength, and his body aged rapidly.

In a moment, he turned into a little old man, and fell from the sky with his tongue hanging down.

"Luffy!"

"Luffy!"

A group of people quickly surrounded him and brought all kinds of water and food with concern.

"Eat quickly, Luffy, I prepared a lot of food for you." Franky grinned and pointed to the refrigerator behind him with his thumb.

Luffy didn't have the strength to sit up, so he could only let everyone stuff all the food into his mouth. His physical strength was recovering rapidly.

If he had enough physical strength, it would be much easier for him to start the Drum of Liberation again, without squeezing so much life.

"Brother Zhan Taowan... Vegapunk..." Kizaru was still lying in the pit, silently reciting the names of the two people in his heart, feeling very uncomfortable.

He barely sat up and leaned against the ruins, still not intending to take action.

In the distant sea, artillery fire was raging, and Kizaru was slacking off online.

Buzz~

A dark pentagram array appeared on the warhead island.

The cleanup of the mechanical sea beasts was almost over, and Saint Satan arrived on the island first through the teleportation array.

'It seems that I can't continue to slack off~'

The supervisor arrived, and Kizaru reluctantly stood up again from the ruins.

"Straw Hat Boy, today is the day you and Vegapunk die!" Saint Satan's crutches slammed heavily on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Who is this weird old man? Who knows him?" Luffy looked around, and a question mark appeared above his head.

"Everyone be careful! He is the highest authority in the World Government, one of the Five Elders, Saint Satan!" Lilith subconsciously took two steps back and warned him.

"Are you the evil Five Elders!?"

Hearing the identity of Saint Satan, nameless anger surged from Luffy's heart.

Along the way, he had heard about the crimes of these old guys. They led the evil Celestial Dragons and were also his father's biggest enemy.

He remembered that he seemed to be one of the people who besieged Ace last time at the Navy Headquarters.

The Straw Hat Pirates took a vigilant fighting posture.

Swoosh~

Kizaru appeared beside Satan Saint in elemental form and said in a lewd way, "Satan Saint, you are here."

"Hmph." Satan Saint snorted in dissatisfaction with Kizaru's efficiency and said, "Leave the little devils to me, you go and kill Vegapunk."

"Got it, Five Elder Stars." Kizaru disappeared in golden light.

"Don't look into his eyes, and be careful of hisVenom."

Nami had read the newspaper about Satan Saint's attack on the West Sea, and vaguely knew some of Satan Saint's abilities.

"Can't have eye contact? It seems that we can only use observation Haki to lock the enemy." Zoro took off his headscarf to cover his eyes, bit the long sword and grinned: "This way it will be foolproof."

"Sexy chef, come together, Luffy is still recovering his strength."

"Tsk, a mere green algae head, I know it without you telling me."

Sanji and Zoro, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Satan Saint at the same time.

"Devil Wind Kick·Level 1 Minced Meat!"

"Three Swords·Extreme·Tiger Hunting! "

Sanji jumped into the air and kicked Satan Saint in the abdomen with his burning feet in rapid succession.

Zoro put the two long swords on his back, and the power was released in an instant. The slashing wave and explosion wave generated at the moment of slashing were enough to blow the enemy away.

Faced with the attacks of the two, Satan Saint just disappeared on the spot.

When he appeared again, the crutch with the armed color attached in his hand stabbed Zoro and Sanji's abdomen heavily.

"Puah~"

Zoro and Sanji opened their mouths, spit out a big mouthful of bitter water, and their bodies flew backwards and hit the ground hard.

"Zoro! Sanji!"

"Ahhhhhhh, Luffy, eat quickly. "

Lilith's face turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and she roughly pushed away Franky who was feeding Luffy, and personally picked up a water tank of food and stuffed it into Luffy's mouth.

"Uh..."

Luffy rolled his eyes because of choking.

"Damn, this old guy is so strong. "

Zoro frowned, trembling as he stood up from the ground holding the Second Generation Kitetsu in his hand. He felt as if the abdomen that was hit was gone.

They were killed instantly.

It's not that they are too weak, but that the Five Elders are too strong.

In the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy, who has been coached by Joy Boy, can already participate in the battles at the level of admirals. He is only 19 years old now.

The first echelon below Luffy is Zoro, Nami, and Sanji.

The three of them are also at the forefront among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they are qualified to be deputy emperors in the imperial group.

And at this time, Kizaru is still on the road of slacking off and will never return...

He can obviously charge up a move to blast the laser defense outside the research institute, but he pretends to be very tired.
