Chapter 266: Straw Hat Crew

Zoro frowned and walked towards where Rosward was, clenching his fists as he walked, making a crackling sound.

The slave standing in front of Rozward had an expression on his face that said "Don't come over here". Rozward swallowed his saliva and was about to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, several figures appeared at the end of the street. These people were Luffy and his crew who came rushing over after hearing the noise.

Luffy looked at the ruined streets and shouted to Zoro,

"Hey Zoro! Did you do this? What happened?"

Zoro paused, turned his head and looked at Luffy, then pointed at Charlos lying on the ground and said,

"This guy suddenly shot at me, and I slashed him with a knife, and then things turned out like this."

Sanji lit a cigarette, took a puff and said,

"What an idiot. He caused such a scene when he was not seen for a while."

Nami put her hands on her hips and said,

"Zoro, don't you know you have a poor sense of direction? Why are you running around everywhere?"

Usopp chimed in,

"Yes, yes! So many marines were injured. This place is very close to the Marine Headquarters. What if it attracts some powerful figures?"

Sauron snorted coldly and said,

"Come if you want. At worst we can just leave."

Franky posed and shouted,

"No! The ship is still being coated!"

Zoro was stunned for a moment and asked,

"Hmm? Have you found a coating worker?"

Luffy chuckled and said,

"I've found it, all thanks to Kozuki Toki!"

After saying that, Luffy turned sideways, and Kozuki and an old man with tattered clothes and white hair slowly walked out from behind.

The white-haired old man glanced at Charlos lying on the ground, and then said to Kozuki beside him,

"Little boy, your group of friends have caused a big mess!"

Guangyue nodded solemnly and said,

"The admiral is coming. I wonder who it will be. I hope it won't be him..."

Nami and the others exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.

"Marine Admiral!?"

Luffy scratched his head and said,

"What is a Marine Admiral? Is he very powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Kozuki sighed helplessly and spoke slowly,

"The admirals represent the highest combat power of the World Government. They are completely different from the navy we encountered before."

As he said this, Kozuki looked at Luffy and said,

"I can tell you clearly that no matter which general comes, we are not capable of dealing with him now."

Nami asked hurriedly when she heard it.

"Sister Kozuki, are the admirals stronger than Crocodile and Moria, the two Shichibukai?"

Kozuki Toki took a deep breath and responded seriously,

"There is absolutely no comparison. Even if these two join forces, they can't deal with a navy admiral!"

Nami was frightened by this and froze in place without saying a word. Sanji frowned and asked,

"Ms. Kozuki Toki, why are you so sure that the person coming here is a navy admiral?"

This time, without waiting for Kozuki to respond, the white-haired old man next to him spoke first.

"That's because the one who was beaten was a Celestial Dragon. Judging from his appearance, he should be dead. Once a Celestial Dragon is killed, the admiral of the navy will definitely be called in."

Chopper hurriedly trotted over to Charlos' side, checked, and turned back to shout,

"This guy is really dead!"

Zoro also realized the seriousness of the matter. He picked up Chopper and put him on his shoulder, saying,

"Then let's leave here first, and we'll talk about the rest on the way!"

However, just as Zoro was about to run to Luffy and the others, Rosward behind him suddenly roared.

"You are a bunch of untouchables! You killed my son!!"

boom!

With a gunshot, Luffy instantly appeared behind Zoro and used his rubber body to block the bullet. Then he shook his body and reflected the bullet back, hitting a slave in front of Rosward.

Before Rozward could react, Luffy had already rushed in front of him and punched through the bubble mask and hit his old face.

Rozward's body spun and flew backwards, finally falling to the ground and slid for several meters before fainting.

At this time, Xia Lulia woke up slowly. She looked at the surrounding environment in confusion until she saw the miserable situation of Charlos and Rozward, and suddenly let out a sharp scream.

Luffy ignored Xia Lulia. He looked at Rozward lying in the distance and said in a deep voice,

"No one can hurt my companions!"

After saying that, he retreated back to Nami and the others and walked away, leaving behind only Xia Lulia who was kneeling and crying, and a few slaves who were at a loss.

After Luffy and the others disappeared completely at the end of the street, some civilians who had been hiding came out tentatively.

Among the crowd, several groups stood out particularly.

A young man in a red coat with flame-like hair curled his lips and said,

"That's the Straw Hat Pirates? They're such a troublesome bunch! We need to get out of here!"

A thin man wearing a white spotted hat crossed his arms and said,

"Oh my, it's so unlucky to run into them..."

The leaders of the remaining groups were also complaining about the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Until a man with freckles on his cheeks and naked upper body came out with a group of people and said helplessly,

"I'm so sorry, everyone. The guy wearing the straw hat just now is my younger brother. If his behavior has caused any trouble to you, I apologize on his behalf."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.

When someone saw his face clearly, his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed,

"He is the supernova with the highest bounty, the leader of the Spade Pirates, Portgas D. Ace!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Ace slowly stood up, took off his hat, bowed, and said with a smile,

"I was recognized. I didn't expect I'm so famous. It's an honor."

The man in the red coat stepped forward, squinted at Ace, and said,

"I didn't expect to meet you in this place. Your bounty is very eye-catching. Do you want to compete with me?"

Ace raised his hand and pressed the hat on his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and wisps of flames suddenly appeared on his body, but soon went out.

He waved his hand and said,

"You are the Kidd, right? The admiral of the navy will be here soon. Now is not the time for us to fight. Besides, I have to go see my brother, so...Gana~"

After saying that, Ace and his crew members followed in the direction where Luffy and the others had just disappeared.
