Chapter 360: The People in a Dire Situation!
Underground Sector D, the old Devil Fruit Research Lab.
Shakyamuni was running in the lead.
"We're almost there."
The voice of Shakyamuni came from inside the helmet.
"Severing the physical lines here will force a reset of the password for 'Punk Records'."
Robin followed behind him, his forehead covered in sweat.
Franky carried the mechanical arm, his eyes scanning the surrounding darkness.
Shakyamuni suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Franky raised the muzzle of his right cannon.
I instantly became alert!
Shakyamuni remained silent.
He stared intently at the shadow at the end of the corridor.
There's someone standing there.
He was bloated, languid, and still holding a half-eaten hamburger patty in his hand.
"York?"
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to eat in the break room in Zone A?"
The person in the shadows stepped out.
York, Vegapunk's "desire" clone.
She still had that simple smile on her face, with bread crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth.
But something was wrong with her eyes.
"Oh dear, I'm hungry. I'm just eating something to satisfy my craving."
York then finished his hamburger.
Suddenly she pulled a gun out from behind her.
A dark, heavy pistol.
The gun was pointed at Buddha.
He fired a shot right away!
"I was planning to wait until you went inside before making my move."
York tilted his head, his smile twisted and menacing.
"But that's perfect, it saves me the trouble of looking for you again, Shakyamuni."
This scene instantly shocked Franky, who was standing behind Shakyamuni.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"What are you doing?"
York smiled.
boom!
No hesitation.
No nonsense.
Fire shot out from the muzzle of the gun.
They went towards Buddha.
Shakyamuni didn't move at all.
He couldn't deduce that "his own people would shoot."
Click!
At the crucial moment, a pair of hands appeared on the ground and pushed Buddha!
It was Robin, who was walking at the back, who noticed York's unusual behavior!
Fortunately, the bullet only hit Shakyamuni's left arm and did not hit any vital parts!
However, Shakyamuni was still sent flying backward, crashing into the floor and remaining motionless.
Dead silence.
Absolute silence.
Franky's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a fist.
"Shakyamuni!"
Franky quickly ran over to check on Shakya's injuries!
Robin then activated her Devil Fruit power once again.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Eighty-round flowers, four trees, an embrace!"
Countless arms grew out of York's body, trying to trap him.
"It's no use, Robin."
York's voice was light and airy.
Her plump body was surprisingly flexible; with a twist of her body, she broke free from the joint lock.
She had rehearsed it countless times.
As Vegapunk's alter ego, she possesses everyone's combat data.
York jumped backward and landed in front of the console.
She raised her hand and slammed down a red button.
drop--
The alarm blared in the basement.
"I've sent the coordinates of this location to the Five Elders."
York turned around, leaned against the control panel, and looked completely absorbed.
"One genius like Vegapunk is enough."
She opened her arms.
That's me.
"Lord York, who is about to become a Celestial Dragon!"
……
Future Island, outer beach.
Sentomaru, gripping his giant axe, stood at the very front of the defensive line.
Behind him were the Naval Science Unit and fifty Pacifista Mark IIIs.
Sentomaru's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"They're here..."
His hand holding the axe handle was trembling.
On the sea, the black "God's Punishment" ship docked.
No one shouted.
No one fired the cannon.
A suffocating pressure made everyone feel irritable.
A dark figure stepped off the ship.
Satan Saint.
One of the Five Elders.
He just stood there.
boom--
An invisible pressure exploded.
It's not Conqueror's Haki.
It is an older, more evil force.
Even the naval soldiers behind Satan were trembling with fear.
Some even collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
Satan Saint sets foot on Future Island.
The earth was shaking.
An evil shadow loomed over the entire island.
……
Research and development layer, the center of the battlefield.
Luffy in Gear 5 Nikka form, white smoke swirling around his shoulders.
He was preparing to deliver another punch to Lucci, ending this fight that was already decided.
Sudden.
Luffy froze.
The silly grin on his face disappeared.
"Luffy?"
Ace also stopped.
"Can you feel it, Ace?"
Luffy turned his head and stared intently at the coastline.
In his Observation Haki, an unpleasant aura was drawing ever closer.
It was cold and damp.
Nausea.
It's annoying.
"what……"
Ace lowered his hat brim, his face grim.
"This feeling is disgusting."
"Like a... monster."
Luffy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Like a stinky sock that hasn't been washed for centuries being stuffed into someone's mouth!"
Luffy's fighting instincts told him so.
Big trouble is brewing.
Something more troublesome than an admiral, more dangerous than a Yonko, has landed on the island.
……
Upper airspace, entrance to the research layer.
A golden light.
The laser defense network burned through a large hole.
Light particles coalesced into a human shape.
Kizaru Borsalino.
He stood in front of the control room door with his hands in his pockets.
"Oh dear."
Kizaru pursed his lips.
"The defense network is quite sturdy."
"However, there's no way around Saint Satan's orders."
He lifted his right foot.
The light gathered at the toes.
"Although it's a little sad to fight with an old friend."
"But that's the tragedy of being a corporate slave."
"Salary...is very important."
The golden light was so bright it was blinding.
With that kick, the door shattered.
Vegapunk inside has nowhere to run.
……
Control room.
despair.
An overwhelming, unyielding despair.
Vegapunk slumped in his chair, his enormous head drooping.
The monitor screen was filled with heartbreaking images.
Top left corner, underground area D.
Shakyamuni fell in a pool of blood.
York was laughing hysterically.
Bottom left corner, coastline.
Sentomaru knelt on the ground.
Satan walked step by step, each step treading on his nerves.
Top right corner, entrance to the research layer.
A destructive light shone from the toes of Kizaru's feet.
The light was too bright.
The light is so bright that no hope can be seen.
"It's over..."
Vegapunk's voice trembled, and it sounded like he was about to cry.
"It's all over."
"A dead end."
"An unsolvable deadlock."
There is a traitor within the organization.
There are five elder stars on the outside.
There is a great general in the middle.
There is also a fleet.
Luffy, Ace, and the others were entangled and had no time to react.
This is a rat trap.
They are rats.
"Nami... Chopper..."
Vegapunk turned to look at the pale face beside him.
"sorry."
"I've dragged you all down with me."
"If you don't save me... you could have left."
Nami gripped the Weather Stick tightly, her hands trembling, but her eyes remained focused.
"Don't talk nonsense, old man!"
"Luffy said he'd take you with him, so we can't give up!"
Jinbe assumed a fighting stance and stood in front of him.
"I will fight to the death to stop Kizaru."
Even for a second.
Vegapunk gave a wry smile.
block?
What can we use to block it?
That's a general.
Even more terrifying monsters are yet to come.
boom!
A loud bang.
The door to the control room was kicked open.
The metal door panel crashed in like a cannonball, smashing a row of servers.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a blinding golden light illuminated the entire room.
The light was not warm.
It is the light of execution.
Kizaru walked in.
The leather shoes crunched on the broken glass.
"Yo."
"Old friend."
Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses and looked at the old man on the ground.
"Long time no see."
"Although I really want to catch up with the old times."
"but……"
Kizaru raised his finger.
The fingertip lit up, aiming at Vegapunk's forehead.
"The old men upstairs are getting impatient."
"Bye now."
"The world's number one brain."
Vegapunk closed his eyes.
give up.
This distance, this time.
No one can save him.
No one can outrun light.
Nika won't work either.
Death's scythe was at her neck.
ended?
