Chapter 118: The Battle of Arubana

Ace regrouped: "Then let's play again."

Ace took the lead in attacking Rosen. This time he avoided Rosen's eyes and kept his gaze on the ground.

He didn't use the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit, just used ordinary punches and kicks.

Suddenly, Ace felt someone behind him.

Then Ace felt his anus tighten and a sharp pain came.

"The fairy guides the way!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned because two Rosens appeared before their eyes.

"Ah? What is this?" Luffy and everyone gathered around the two Rosens: "Old man, are you serious?"

"No, this is the real thing." Usopp said, pointing at Rosen who was still standing there.

"This is more likely to be true." Luffy insisted on his guess.

Then, Rosen, who had given Ace the guidance of a sage, suddenly turned into a puff of smoke.

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

"I forgot to tell you that I am the user of the Avatar Fruit."

Everyone had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this."

However, they are no longer surprised by Rosen's ability to show off at any time.

As for Ace who was covering his butt, everyone chose to ignore him.

"You old bastard, you actually plotted against me!" Ace jumped up angrily and cursed at Rosen.

"You can't afford to lose?" Rosen looked at Ace with disdain and raised a finger: "Or do you want to ask for guidance again?"

Ace's face turned red, and he finally shut up silently.

"Old man, how many clones can you create?"

"If necessary, millions would be no problem."

Multiple shadow clones distribute the chakra evenly. With Rosen's chakra capacity, the limit of several million is definitely no problem.

However, this number of shadow clones is meaningless.

Even when facing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of enemies, the effect of one Shinra Tensei is far more cost-effective than creating millions of shadow clones.

"How can it be."

"really?"

"Millions are difficult to display, but a few are no problem." Rosen clasped his hands together and created multiple shadow clones.

In an instant, more than a dozen shadow clones of Rosen appeared on the deck.

"Wow...so impressive." Luffy looked at Rosen with shining eyes.

Luffy likes this kind of strange ability the most.

His own fighting style has already taken shape, so instead of teaching him some strange skills, it would be better for him to constantly strengthen his own fighting style.

So Rosen had no intention of teaching him ninjutsu or anything like that.

Only Nami is suitable. First of all, Nami doesn't have any fighting style. Secondly, she has almost no basics. Moreover, she has three attributes of wind, water and thunder, which is very close to her fighting style in the later period.

Rosen looked at Chopper again, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: Chopper did not have the qualifications to practice magic.

If he has the qualifications, he can be trained in this direction.

It seems that animals have a higher chance of practicing immortal arts than humans.

However, Chopper is the ordinary human form of the Human-Human Fruit, and his true form is a reindeer. I don't know if his body is still suitable for his own method of practice.

Ace didn't stay on the Golden Merry for too long, as he had his own things to do.

He still had to chase Blackbeard, so he didn't have time to stay any longer.

Finally, they stopped in a coastal city only a few hundred kilometers away from the capital.

Everyone headed straight towards the capital, Aruba.

But when they arrived in Arubana, they found that Arubana had already been surrounded by rebels.

Aruba is a circular city built on a huge rock.

There is a difference of tens of meters between the city ground and the desert ground.

It is precisely because of this height difference that the rebels were unable to capture Arubana.

As a result, they were trapped outside the city, but that night, the gates of Arubana were opened.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels instantly rushed into Arubana and surrounded the imperial palace.

Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates hurried to the palace.

At the same time, Vivi's father Cobra was stabbed in the abdomen and fell to the ground.

Crocodile and Nico Robin are standing in front of Cobra.

"Your Majesty King Cobra, I believe you have seen the current situation of the Kingdom of Alabasta. If you don't reveal the cube that records the location of Pluto, then this country will be finished."

"Even if it means the whole country will be buried with you, will you still do that?" Crocodile threatened, "I have placed a super bomb on the clock tower in the central square, a bomb that can instantly flatten the entire Arubana."

Cobra closed his eyes: "If this is the fate of this country, then so be it."

"Boss, why don't you let me help him persuade him?" Nico Robin said.

Crocodile nodded, left the palace and waited outside.

Nico Robin looked at Cobra on the ground and said, "I am pursuing the historical text. If it contains information about Pluto, I will not let others know."

"You are...you are a survivor of O'Hara Island?"

Nico Robin smiled slightly and did not answer Cobra's question.

Cobra knew that the scholars on O'Hara Island were willing to die in order to study the blank hundred years of history.

Once upon a time, Cobra also secretly funded O'Hara Island.

However, the fact that O'Hara Island was researching the blank 100-year history was eventually discovered by the World Government, which eventually led to the Demon Killing Order.

"There is a secret passage in the palace."

"Thank you."

Nico Robin walked out of the hall and took Crocodile to find the secret passage.

Soon after they left the hall, Weiwei ran in.

"dad."

"Weiwei, it's great that you're back...wait...you shouldn't have come back."

"Dad, I brought back helpers. They can definitely help us deal with Crocodile."

"It's too late." Cobra shook his head.

"How can it be too late? There's still time. Where is Crocodile now? I want to beat him away." Luffy asked.

"They have gone to the secret place of our royal family." Cobra said bitterly: "If possible, stop them from finding Pluto."

Luffy immediately ran out of the hall and found the entrance to the secret passage.

At the same time, at the gate of the Imperial Palace, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp and Chopper had already fought with the executives of Baroque Studio.

Zoro faced off against Datz, Sanji faced off against Mr. 2 the transvestite von Clay, and Nami faced off against Bora.

Usopp and Chopper faced Mr.4 Bube and his partner Dorofey.

Luffy passed through the long and narrow underground passage and finally came to the end of the passage.

At this time, Crocodile and Nico Robin were already standing in front of the cube.

This cube is made of an unknown material and is indestructible.

No matter how powerful the force is, it cannot be destroyed. At least for now, there is no way to destroy the cube.

These cubic stone tablets record historical texts or some ancient information in ancient characters.

In the new world in the second half of the Grand Line, there are four red cubes scattered around that record the coordinates of the final destination, Raftel.

"Who of you is Crocodile?" Luffy looked at Nico Robin and Crocodile.

Nico Robin was amused by Luffy's words that suddenly appeared.

Crocodile's face was filled with black lines. Is it so difficult for him to identify?

"Straw Hat Boy, it's you who has been interfering with the plans of our Baroque Studio." Crocodile narrowed his eyes and looked at Luffy.

"Who told you to take away Vivi's country? Vivi is my companion, and I will never allow my companions to be bullied." Luffy said in a sonorous voice: "Now, I will beat you away!"

"Come if you can."

"Rubber rubber... machine gun!"

Bump, bump, bump——

Crocodile's body immediately turned into sand.

The next moment, Crocodile turned into sand and rushed towards Luffy.

Luffy's mind flashed with the image of himself being sucked dry, and he immediately dodged the sand, while his right fist turned pure black.

Armed color coverage!

Crocodile had just regained his human form when Luffy's big black fist hit him in the face.

Crocodile touched his nose and it was bleeding!

Suddenly, Crocodile was furious: "I will kill you!"

bang——

Luffy didn't give Crocodile any chance to transform, and punched him in the abdomen again, knocking him away.

Crocodile stood up awkwardly and quickly formed seals with his hands.

Earth escape. Shock wave!

The stone-paved ground surged towards Luffy like a wave.

Luffy looked at the ground curiously, watching the ripples spread to his feet.

boom--

The next moment, ripples exploded and Luffy was blown away.

But this amount of damage is nothing to Luffy.

Luffy rushed towards Crocodile again, and Crocodile also rushed towards Luffy, and the two fought with bare hands.

Compared to Crocodile a month ago, Crocodile's current strength is many times greater than before.

Especially in terms of physical skills, his strength has increased exponentially.

He also mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Therefore, he was not at a disadvantage in close combat with Luffy.

Of course, Luffy is a professional in close combat, so his close combat skills are obviously stronger.

But Crocodile's attack methods are more varied and strange.

For a time, the two sides fought inextricably.

However, neither of them affected Nico Robin.

Nico Robin is still translating the ancient text written on the cubic stone tablet.

The fight between the two was very fierce, and in a short period of time, neither of them could do anything to the other.

At the same time, outside the palace, Zoro and Daz, Nami and Pora were also fighting to a stalemate.

And on the clock tower in the central square of Aruba.

Weiwei had just learned from her father that there was a super bomb here, so she rushed here impatiently.

But when she arrived at the bell tower, she found that the people in the Baroque Studio were lying dead all over the ground.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Weiwei still rushed to the top of the bell tower.

Here, Weiwei saw Rosen was here.

At the same time, in front of Rosen there was a super-giant bomb with a diameter of two meters. There was a countdown on the bomb, and the time was less than one minute.

"Master, why are you here?"

"After all, you are also one of our crew members. I should at least make some contribution."

"Can you please stop?"

"I'll send it to the sky and detonate it." Rosen grabbed the super bomb and flew into the air.
