Chapter 87 The Showdown

"Dragon's Claw!"

Dragon gave a low growl.

The five fingers became as dark as ink. The index and middle fingers were brought together, the ring finger and the little finger were brought together, and the thumb was spread out, turning into sharp hooks.

In addition to Armament Haki, it was also wrapped with layers of Conqueror's Haki.

Black lightning danced wildly on the dragon's claws, carrying bursts of fierce wind, and clawed at Carlos!

This blow was powerful and heavy, as if it was about to tear apart the space, and its momentum was indescribably terrifying.

Both sides were so close that there was no way to avoid it.

At the critical moment,

Carlos didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and pulled out the hidden thunder from his waist.

Clang

Accompanied by a sound like a dragon's roar, the sharp blade was unsheathed.

The sword's intent to destroy all things moved according to his heart and burst forth.

The monstrous Conqueror's Haki soared into the sky, turning into rolling thunder and wrapping around the blade!

Ain and others hadn't had time to issue a warning yet.

Then they saw Carlos turn around and draw his sword. With the momentum of cutting through everything and sweeping everything, he slashed towards the opponent.

The next moment,

Dark Thunder and Dragon Claw suddenly met.

Boom!

A deafening roar quietly exploded in everyone's ears.

There was obviously no collision, but a terrifying power like a meteorite impact erupted.

The extremely violent and powerful Conqueror's Haki was aroused from the two bodies, turning into red and black lightning, and they continued to fight fiercely.

It was as if there was an absolute vacuum between the two.

The surrounding space trembled continuously.

The floors and walls cracked.

Under the aftermath of the horrific attack, the entire research institute was crumbling, groaning under the strain.

After a moment of stalemate, the two of them each took a few steps back and looked at each other cautiously.

"As expected of a man who dares to challenge the World Government. He really has two skills."

Carlos' expression became more serious.

Even though it was just a brief exchange of blows, one could feel the opponent's terrifying strength from it.

There was no doubt that this guy's weapon color, Conqueror's Haki, was the same as his own, and he had probably reached the "Ultimate."

But after remembering Dragon's identity, Carlos felt that it was normal.

After all, this guy is the son of Marine hero Garp and the biological father of protagonist Luffy.

No need to say much about talents and qualifications.

In terms of strength, it is very likely that he has reached Roger's level.

It looks like we are going to experience a fierce battle next...

Not only Carlos, but Dragon was also shocked.

An invincible dragon claw not only failed to work but was cut by the opponent with deep wounds visible to the bone.

The swordsmanship displayed by Carlos made him extremely afraid.

He quietly hid his trembling right hand behind his back and said calmly:

"With such strength, it seems that you are indeed worthy of the position of Marine Marshal."

"Carlos, get out of the way! I don't want to be an enemy of you Marines!"

Carlos sneered and said tit for tat:

"You are right. Marine has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army, and this matter has nothing to do with me. But..."

He pointed to the ruins in the distance and continued:

"Whether he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea or a cadre of the Revolutionary Army, since he has made an attack, he is my enemy.

"I advise you to give up the idea of ​​taking him out of here."

Dragon's face was gloomy and scary.

Kuma is not only a cadre of the Revolutionary Army but also his comrade-in-arms and his trusted partner for many years.

How could it be possible to leave him alone and let him continue to undergo inhuman transformation here?

"Carlos, you are indeed very strong. Even I am not sure of winning."

"But now uprisings have broken out around the world."

"The people who were willing to be oppressed in the past have awakened. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the tide of the times cannot be stopped!"

Dragon's heart moved.

If we can get rid of Carlos here,

Not only can it reduce the power of the World Government, but it can also put Marine into a leaderless situation, unable to stop the actions of the Revolutionary Army.

Thinking of this, the hesitation in Dragon's heart disappeared instantly.

The whole person's momentum rose to a higher level again.

The dark green cloak on his body moved automatically without wind, and his body exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts beat.

Carlos pointed the tip of his sword directly at the opponent and said calmly:

"If you help the Five Elders solve their serious problems, you should get a lot of rewards, right?"

The words had just fallen.

Carlos murderous intent boiled crazily, as if it were real.

The temperature inside the research institute suddenly dropped, as cold as an ice cave.

"Ain, take them out of here. I will go all out for the next battle."

Ain looked stern, and without thinking, she picked up Vegapunk's collar and ran outside.

"Hey, wait! The data here hasn't been transferred yet..."

There was a trace of anxiety in Ain's tone, and she said angrily:

"How long have you been thinking about that? Once Marshal Carlos gets serious, let alone us, I'm afraid the entire island will be completely destroyed."

"What? No!"

Vegapunk was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know where the power burst out from. He suddenly broke free from Ain's hand.

"Dragon, stop it! These are all my hard work over the years!"

"Shut up, you Celestial Dragons lackey!"

Vegapunk said anxiously:

"I did not completely erase Kuma's memories and emotions! He can be restored!"

"The transformation has not been completed yet. Machinery and flesh and blood, consciousness and AI have not been perfectly integrated."

"If you take him away now, I can guarantee that Kuma will die within a month! I am the only one in this world who can help him completely recover."

"Don't worry, after the development of the pacifist is completed, I will restore him to his original state."

Dragon frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

"Do you think I'll still believe you?"

Vegapunk shook his head and said extremely seriously:

"Maybe I can't compare to you elsewhere."

"But in terms of science and technology, I will never lie to you!"

"You are right. Dr. Clover is a knowledgeable scholar and a respectable person. He should not die in pursuit of knowledge and truth.

"However, in order to pursue the highest level of science, I need a lot of funds. Billions, tens of billions, are not enough for me! Only the World Government can satisfy me. It can make my dream come true!"

At this moment,

This short old man actually burst out with a powerful aura that was hard to ignore.

He is the strongest scientist in the world and an absolute authority in the field of science!

Including Dragon, everyone present could not help but fall into silence.

After a long time, Dragon took a deep look at Vegapunk.

Although he felt helpless, he also knew it.

With Carlos here, it's impossible to drive Kuma out of here.

At the same time, the Revolutionary Army was launching uprisings in six countries, and he had no time to delay here.

"Let me trust you one last time. If something happens to Kuma, I will never let you go!"
