Chapter 103 : Going Merry!

Whitebeard Pirates!

"Luffy won!?"

Marco was stunned...

Even though he had just been consoling Ace, saying that Luffy could win.

But the fact was, it was just reassurance!

In reality, deep down, he didn't believe Luffy could win at all.

After all, Lucci was too powerful, so formidable that he thought Luffy had no chance of winning whatsoever... How did he manage to win?

Even Vista, Jozu, and the others were equally astonished.

Even Whitebeard himself, stunned, gazed at the sky.

It's not that they didn't want Luffy to win; after all, he was Ace's younger brother, and they would support him no matter what.

However... It was somewhat unexpected.

Even Ace himself felt a bit bewildered.

But soon, overwhelming joy washed away all doubts.

A familiar smile blossomed on his face.

"Luffy... I knew you would win!..."

Red-Haired Pirates!

It was yet another familiar scene, and Shanks left everyone in shock.

No one knew how long they stood in place...

Finally!

Amidst the cheers, everyone snapped back to reality, and more cheers erupted!

"Hahaha, Luffy won, Luffy won!"

"I never expected that little brat from back then would be so strong now!"

"This is CP9; they've all been defeated, and the Straw Hat Pirates are on the brink of becoming legends!"

"It's truly unexpected, but in this situation, I'd toast to it a dozen times over, hahaha..."

Everyone cheered for Luffy's victory.

Glasses were raised, and Shanks, after laughing, also looked up at the sky.

"Luffy, I knew you'd work wonders!"

"The lad inheriting Captain Roger's will truly didn't let me down."

Unknown Seas!

A boat sailed on, still far from the Revolutionary Army's base.

Observing Luffy triumph over the enemy, Dragon's face displayed a moment of relief.

"Son..."

"You are my pride!"

As for Enel, who was already dealt with and was currently bound by Dragon with Seastone, he could still see the image in the sky.

Now... he was taken aback.

He witnessed Luffy's persistence and determination, a resolve that he himself couldn't match.

The determination to stand up for your comrades repeatedly until finally overcoming a formidable adversary!

Would Enel be moved? Wrong!

His face contorted instantly, and he let out a distorted, wailing scream.

Unspoken but understood, you are aware that there may be some explicit language.

As the gaze of Dragon stretched out, he abruptly ceased his shouting. Cold sweat broke out instantly, and a shadow was cast over the man before him.

Glancing at Luffy's back, he only dared to be negligent in his thoughts...

Onigashima!

"What a surprise, Garp's grandson..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Kaido's face involuntarily.

It was anticipated that Lucci would emerge victorious, but evidently, the outcome was skewed.

Despite the shock, it was merely a setback!...

In Kaido's eyes, individuals like Luffy were still insignificant, like small fry unable to stir any waves.

"He still has no connection with true power."

"If he crosses paths with me, a single blow will be sufficient to make him grasp the treacherous nature of the sea!"

"After all, my strength is beyond the reach of just anyone."

"Even Garp's grandson can only look up to..."

Despite Kaido's disdain, he remained oblivious.

It wouldn't be long before Luffy would face him.

Although he spoke of teaching Luffy a lesson with a single blow, he, too, would be taught a lesson by Luffy in the future.

Luffy not only reached his level but also... surpassed him!...

Whole Cake Island!

Big Mom and Cracker, along with others, were left dumbfounded...

A moment ago, they were asserting that the straw hat boy would lose.

Who would have thought the punch in the face would come so swiftly?

Several people were so shocked they even forgot to consume the cake presented to them...

Only Katakuri, while gazing at the sky, had his eyes gleam brightly.

This man, acknowledged by himself... was victorious!

"Excellent!"

"If fate allows, we shall cross paths, and I will surely battle with you!"

"I hope that in the future, you continue to grow stronger!"

Magnetic Drum Island!

Observing Luffy's triumph, Chopper's joyful eyes transformed into blossoms.

He practically spun in place.

However, shortly after, he was stupefied...

Because he witnessed Luffy's bloodied form lying on the ground, incapacitated in the image.

As a doctor, he understood better than anyone the extent of Luffy's injuries in this battle!

Merely by viewing the image, he could deduce that it must be exceedingly horrifying!

This confrontation inflicted far greater harm upon him than when he clashed with Moria and Enel!

Luffy, terribly wounded, received treatment solely from the Straw Hat Pirates' onboard doctor.

"If they don't have me, then in the future... Who will treat them?

So, unless you leave Drum Island, you won't cross paths with the Straw Hat Pirates.

Comrades...

They need me...

Water 7!

Lucci's face was already so dark that he couldn't escape it.

At this moment, it was gloomy, as if water were about to drip out at any moment... Extreme anger simmered in his eyes.

His hands couldn't stop trembling, and his rage was intense.

This feeling, as if he were on the verge of killing someone at any moment...

This made Kalifa, who was beside him, dare not make the slightest move.

Though she was shocked that the Straw Hat Pirates had actually defeated her and other CP9 members, at this moment, she...

Was noticeably more afraid of Lucci.

"Straw Hat Kid... Luffy!"

Lucci smiled directly, but this smile was obviously mixed with unspeakable ferocity.

"He will never defeat me; all of this is a sham!"

"In the picture, initially, I had a playful mindset; if I had exerted my full strength, he would have perished long ago!"

"It's a disgrace to be defeated by him, and since this is a future event, it hasn't happened yet!"

"In that case, I will kill him with my own hands in reality to wash away this humiliation!"

Upon hearing this, Kalifa couldn't help but ask, "Are you heading to the East Blue?"

Lucci glared fiercely.

"Absolutely not, I'm in Water 7!"

"Since you can't find the Straw Hat Kid, aren't his companions here?"

"As long as I find him, I don't believe he won't come..."

Near the Sea Restaurant...

"Luffy, you won!"

Usopp exclaimed excitedly.

Zoro, Nami, Robin, all expressed joy for him.

Everyone applauded.

And Luffy just laughed, his hearty laughter spreading throughout all the nearby seas.

"I said I would defeat him; it's our agreement!"

"As long as I say it, I will definitely do it!"

"But I have to say..."

"This radish is also a formidable foe!"

Usopp: "…"

"His name is Lucci, not Turnip!"

Luffy's casual habit of confusing people made Nami and the others feel embarrassed.

Meanwhile, the scene above the sky had not yet concluded.

At this moment, it continued to unfold...

[After defeating Lucci, Luffy lay weakly on the ground.]

[Despite his exhaustion, he felt immense joy and used the last bit of his strength to shout:]

"Robin, let's go home!!!"

[This voice echoed throughout the entire Enies Lobby...]

[Hearing this, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates knew that Luffy... had won!]

[He defeated Lucci, he did it!]

[Everyone was ecstatic, and Robin couldn't hold back her tears, covering her face and crying...]

[Meanwhile, the Marine Army, stationed outside, was in a state of panic!]

[Lucci actually lost?]

[The boss of CP9, the most perfect killing machine, was defeated by the Straw Hats?]

[At this moment, the Marine was stunned, and worse, they were in a state of extreme confusion!]

"Open fire, blow up and sink the entire Enies Lobby, and kill the Straw Hats and their crew!"

"Attack with all your might!"

[The vice admiral in control of the ten warships was also in a panic and, without hesitation, ordered to obliterate the demons and launch an attack...]

[The struggle began anew!]

[In the face of Marine artillery and countless Marine attacks, everyone fought back!]

[However, it was challenging to face ten warships and tens of thousands of Marine soldiers...]

[And, at this moment, they received even worse news!]

[Luffy, who defeated Lucci, experienced massive side effects from exerting all the power in his body.]

[At this moment, he lay on the ground, unable to move!]

"Don't even mention standing up; Luffy can't even move a finger at this moment, only his eyes can move."

[This situation left Sanji and the others in a state of panic.]

[They were too far away from Luffy, and the Marine was still bombarding them.]

[If Luffy couldn't move, death was inevitable!]

[Furthermore, the Marine warships were preparing for the final attack...]

[In just ten seconds, they would launch the Buster Call again, obliterating everything in its path!]

[But then...]

[A remarkable scene unfolded!]

[A pirate flag depicting a skull with a straw hat appeared abruptly in the midst of the encircling ten warships.]

[And accompanying it were the unique allies of the Straw Hats...]

"Going Merry!!!"

[At this moment, everyone was frozen!]

[Whether it was Luffy and his crew or the Marine...]
