"How stupid, why do you do this? Portcas D. Ace is a major criminal who is about to be executed by the World Government, and you are an intruder who wants to save him. I will not sit idly by and watch all this.
No matter."
Esdeath stood in front of Luffy, like an insurmountable ice wall.
"Rubber Pistol!"
Luffy roared and punched forward so fast that it seemed to ignite the air.
Esdeath raised her hand, easily grabbed Luffy's fist, and then threw him to the ground.
"Still don't want to be captured?"
Taking advantage of Luffy's opportunity to stand up, Esdeath punched Luffy hard in the stomach. Luffy spat out blood and flew backwards.
"Luffy-chan, are you okay?"
Von Clay caught Luffy and said with concern.
"...I'm fine. This little injury won't affect the fight."
Luffy stood up with difficulty, wiped the blood remaining at the corner of his mouth, and smiled softly at Von Clay, but he knew he was suffering in his heart.
In fact, he was seriously injured. The domineering force attached to Esdeath's punch severely damaged his internal organs. Now his condition is extremely bad and his combat effectiveness has also dropped significantly.
"Xiao Feng, don't stay here anymore."
Luffy pushed Von Clay back, "This is a battle between me and her. You'd better escape from here quickly."
"But……"
"Nothing but!"
Luffy's voice suddenly increased several times, and then dropped like a deflated rubber ball:
"Let's run away while I can still hold on."
Von Clay stared blankly at Luffy's back, tears bursting out of his eyes instantly. The marine in front of him was so powerful that he couldn't defeat him even if he and Luffy went together.
So what if they work together to defeat her? How should they face Director Magellan? Although he really wanted to meet the legendary demon king, the cold reality told him that this was impossible.
The only thing that can be done now is maybe...
"Luffy-chan, I'm sorry!!!"
Von Clay made up his mind, turned around and ran quickly towards the blood pool, his nose and tears mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.
Esdeath did not stop this touching scene about friendship and bond. To her, she was a hunter, and Luffy and Luffy were like wild beasts caught in a trap. No matter how hard they struggled, it was of no avail.
And what I have to do now is to enjoy the whole process of the prey from struggle to despair.
"How stupid. If you two go together, you might be able to beat me." Esdeath said to Luffy.
"Xiao Feng just wants to leave here. There is no need to go to a dangerous place like the sixth floor underground. But I am different. I want to rescue Ace...!"
Luffy gritted his teeth, his whole body was red and steaming, he jumped up high, and his kick came straight like a shooting star.
"Rubber stamp!"
Esdeath didn't even look, she summoned her ice sword and slashed at him directly.
boom!
"ah!!!"
The sole of Luffy's foot was cut by the ice sword, and he rolled to the ground holding his legs and feet.
"The domineering energy was released unconsciously. No wonder this sword didn't cut off your legs."
Esdeath stared at his legs for a while, thoughtfully, and then the corners of her mouth raised:
"Very good. If you don't even have domineering power, it only proves that the two Shichibukai you defeated are all useless. Come on, let me see where your limit is."
"If you weren't strong enough, you and Ace would have the same fate."
"Ha, ha, ha... How could I just watch Ace being sentenced to death?"
Luffy put his hands on the ground, kneeling on the ground and gasping for air.
"I want to rescue Ace and leave here. Now I haven't even seen him, how can I die?"
