When they saw Rhine's punch almost explode Luffy's stomach, whether it was Nami and Robin who were still standing, or Zoro and Sanji who were shot and had fallen to the ground, all of them were scared. At that moment, Luffy only felt that his internal organs seemed to be misplaced.

"Quick, run away..." At the last moment before he passed out, Luffy used his last bit of strength to barely shout those two words. Immediately after, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

"Damn it! Giving Luffy to—" Chopper, who looked like a harmless animal on the outside, was furious. He suddenly turned into his human form and rushed toward Rhine and his group.

"Blooming underfoot!"

Before Rhine's side could make a move, several arms suddenly stretched out from Chopper's feet, grabbing his ankles tightly.

"Robin!?" Chopper looked behind him in disbelief, recognizing the Straw Hat Pirates' archaeologist Nico Robin's Devil Fruit ability. They saw Robin standing behind them, crossing her arms, frowning, and shouting to Chopper, "Calm down, Chopper, you're no match for them. Let's escape first!"

Hearing these four words from Robin's mouth, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other in shock. Nami yelled in disbelief, "Are you kidding me, Robin? You want to leave Luffy?!"

During this period, the Straw Hat Pirates had definitely bonded, not afraid to risk their lives for one another. Robin stared at Rhine and said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why, it seems like that man didn't intend to kill Luffy."

Immediately, Robin's eyes quickly swept over the two main fighters, Zoro and Sanji, and she said again, "Let's not talk about him now. We can't even deal with that ghost fruit ability user. We have to retreat to recuperate, and we will find a way to save Luffy later."

As soon as this remark came out, even Zoro, who had followed Luffy the longest, fell silent for a while. Robin was thinking rationally. True, he didn't know what Rhine was trying to do with Luffy, but if it was for his bounty, they could just cut off his head and give it to the Marines. It wasn't necessary to take the whole person away. That being the case, there must be a reason for the other party to spare Luffy's life.

"Let's go! We can find a way to save Luffy after our injuries heal! Separate and run!" Thinking of this, Zoro didn't hesitate, waved his hand, and shouted.

Seeing Zoro take a stand, Nami, Chopper, and the others clenched their teeth, understanding that it was impossible to save Luffy right now. They could only retreat first! Chopper waved his fist in frustration, cursed in his heart, and hugged Usopp and Franky, who were bleeding heavily, in each hand, turned around, and ran away. Zoro and Sanji, who were not hit by Van Augur, covered their wounds and fled in the other direction.

"Miss Nami! Let's go!" Sanji called out to Nami.

Facing the fleeing Straw Hat Crew, Rhine had a calm expression on his face. He then threw the unconscious Luffy to Burgess. "Captain, how about them?" Burgess held Luffy in his left hand like holding a chicken and pointed at the fleeing Straw Hat Pirates with his right hand.

Rhine stroked his chin. To be honest, the most important thing in this operation was Luffy, and it didn't matter if they captured the rest of them or not. As a transmigrator, Rhine also wanted to see what actions the Straw Hat Pirates would take after he gave Luffy to the World Government. Would they go to Impel Down like Luffy did in the original story? But letting them go like this seemed a bit useless...

Thinking of this, Rhine noticed the shadows of Nami and Robin who had fled. "Perona-chan, please tie those two women here," Rhine said to Perona with a smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"...Pervert..." Perona cast a disdainful glance at Rhine. How could she not guess Rhine's nasty thoughts? But she still obeyed. What if the captain lost his mind and forced himself on her?

"Extraordinary Ghost!" Perona waved her hand and summoned a large ghost over three meters tall. One on each side, the ghosts picked up Nami and Robin and flew back.

"Miss Nami! Miss Robin!" Sanji was anxious when he saw this and was ready to turn around to rescue them.

"Run! Leave us!" Robin shouted hastily. Nami also interjected, "You guys hurry up! Otherwise, no one will be able to save Luffy!"

Hearing what they said, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates gritted their teeth but understood that they had no choice but to run away in embarrassment at this moment. The huge ghost of Perona then brought Nami and Robin to Rhine. Rhine also unceremoniously put his hands on their shoulders.

"Big harvest, big harvest~" Rhine laughed and said, "Everyone! Let's go!"

At this moment, the faces of the two Straw Hat Pirates members, who were held by Rhine, were full of unwillingness, resentment, annoyance, and all kinds of negative emotions. But they could not resist. The more they showed that look, the happier Rhine was. So what if the time of my transmigration was late? So what if it's too late to recruit them? Just take them by force.
