One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 148 The Power of a Laughter

"So strong!!"

The seven naval warrior captains cleaved through the sharp, steel-hard vines with their swords.

These vines are not only hard and sharp, but they can also bind Armament Haki. If you are pierced by them, you will be instantly sucked dry.

"Impressive, right? I think I'm pretty strong too! This bounty of 1.396 billion can't even fully demonstrate my strength!"

Aramaki grinned, his hands transformed into hard wood, enveloped in Armament Haki, and he charged forward to engage the Seven-Garden Samurai in close combat.

The constant clash between Armament Haki-infused fists and samurai swords sent sparks flying.

"monster!!"

The captain of the Seven Garrisons Navy was repeatedly beaten down by Aramu, his face covered in cold sweat.

While Huang Mu was launching a frontal attack, he was also attacked from all sides by a large number of sharp vines.

This left the Seven-Gate Samurai Chief, Tōno Taitsu, completely powerless to resist.

"The leader of the Seven Seas Navy, Tōno Taitsu, a piece of trash with a mere 280 million Berries, not even a fraction of my bounty. I'll help you lose some weight!"

In just over ten seconds, Aramaki beat Tōno Taitsu so badly that he coughed up blood, and a thick vine suddenly pierced through his chest.

The chief bandit leader was instantly reduced to a withered, emaciated body.

"This amount of energy is not bad!"

After eliminating the leaders of the Seven Garrisons' naval forces, Huang Mu immediately set his sights on the new king and the nobles.

"These damned nobles, not a single one of them is any good!"

Huang Mu seemed to recall those noble scoundrels like Earl Xiongchuan, and charged directly at these high-ranking nobles.

"Quickly! Get all the captains of the Eight Garrisons back to provide support!!"

"Also, quickly notify the navy to come and protect me! I am the king of a constituent republic!"

The new king fled in terror. Had he known a powerful enemy was coming, he wouldn't have sent so many troops to fight the Flower Kingdom on Liuluo Island.

There are only a few samurai captains now, which is no match for the Luo Ji Pirates.

On the other side, Yamato also killed the chief samurai of the Rokkasai Navy with a single blow, taking his head.

Bonnie and Rebecca are actually teaming up to attack the bandit leader of the Eight-Gate Navy, Takashi Nagatomi.

"They actually sent two women to deal with me!"

Takashi Nagatomi, a traditional samurai, was very unhappy about the two women's attack.

Even though one is a dragon-type ability user of the Mythical Zoan species and the other is a woman who can transform into a small giant, the two women don't even know Haki and are no match for him at all.

But with the rapid defeat of the two samurai captains of the Seven-Square Navy and the Six-Square Navy, Takashi Nagataka began to panic.

Those two guys lost way too fast!!

Moreover, there are still several powerful figures on the airship who haven't made a move yet.

The strength of this Luo Ji Pirates is terrifying.

But why would this newly appointed Fifth Emperor target their Sang Kingdom?

At this moment, several naval forces of several thousand men from the Eight Regions immediately launched a fierce barrage of firepower at the Luo Ji World Group and the flying warships.

The bear stepped forward and unleashed a barrage of air cannons with its paws, blocking all the projectiles aimed at the Ark Maxim.

These bear paw air cannons also floated down towards the Sang Kingdom's firepower units, instantly triggering a dense and terrifying explosion.

"Are they still using poison gas shells?!"

Yixiao stepped forward, quickly drawing his Supreme Greatsword, Extreme Fire Line, and a huge purple halo enveloped the ruins of the palace.

To everyone's astonishment, the rubble and buildings of the entire kingdom's ruins floated into the air, resembling a shattered floating island.

"Is this also Uncle Yixiao's ability?! How terrifying!!"

"No wonder Brother Luo Ji went to find Uncle Yi Xiao!"

The women of Luo Ji World Group all stared wide-eyed, and even Big Bear glanced at them a few more times and smiled. This blind companion was truly remarkable.

"Gravity Blade - City Fall!"

With a smile, he swung his sword forward, and a purple sword aura flew past, carrying the floating ruins towards the firepower units before plummeting downwards.

Amidst the terrified cries of thousands of pirate warriors, endless rubble and ruins instantly engulfed these fleeing ants.

A massive, ruined mountain of graves has appeared, containing the remains of thousands of pirates.

"This blind man speaks of pity and righteousness, but he's ruthless when he strikes!"

Huang Mu was also extremely surprised by Yi Xiao's 'killing efficiency'.

The destructive power of this Gravity Fruit ability, with its cataclysmic devastation and massacres over a massive scale, is even more powerful than his Forest-Forest Fruit ability.

Seeing how 'brutal' Yixiao was, Huangmu stopped dawdling.

He transformed into dense vines and tree roots, and attacked the new king and nobles of the Mulberry Kingdom.

Amidst the terrified cries of these people, one by one they were draped in vines and lifted into the sky, becoming either mummies or prisoners.

"Hopefully, the destruction caused by these pirates will allow this country to transform from a pirate kingdom into a normal member state."

He smiled and slowly sheathed his sword, his face expressionless, revealing nothing of his feelings about personally burying thousands of pirates.

"The world is broken and full of bad people. It needs us to mend it up and get rid of these bad people."

Luo Ji glanced at him and smiled. This guy had really changed; he actually dared to kill so many pirates in one move.

This surprised Luo Ji a bit.

“You’re right. Rotten scum doesn’t deserve sympathy, and kindness doesn’t apply to them.”

"My benevolence will only be reserved for kind people."

Yi Xiao sat down on the spot, since he didn't need to observe everything with his eyes anyway.

"Monsters! They're all monsters!!"

Hanafza had just seen the countless ruins floating in the air and looked at the blind man in shock.

Is this similar to Shiki the Golden Lion's ability?

It turns out that those new bounty notices really didn't offer high rewards; in fact, they offered lower ones.

Aramaki said his strength was no less than that of a Marine Admiral, and Luo Ji also admitted that Aramaki and Ikko were at the Admiral level.

At first, Hanafza and Crocodile didn't believe it.

After all, how could there be such an unknown, powerful general in this world?

At most, he's just an arrogant god from a remote place like Enel.

But now, they have truly witnessed the terrifying strength of these two 'newcomers'.

It turns out there really are powerful individuals who don't have much ambition; they just stay in one place and have no reputation whatsoever.

Hanafza's interest in joining the Roji World Group is growing stronger.

Before Luo Ji finds Pluto, the King of the Underworld, or uses the blueprints to create a new Pluto, he must join the Luo Ji World Group as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the Hades warship appears, the Luo Ji World Group will no longer need a Shichibukai prisoner like him.

"Old Sha, have you thought this through?"

"Let's join the Luo Ji World Group together, and Luo Ji will definitely accept us."

"If you refuse, once I get out of here, I'll make sure you experience some real cruelty!"

Hanafza still hasn't given up on Crocodile, since if they both joined the Luo Ji Pirates, they could become 'allies' in a small group.

Otherwise, Hanafza felt he had no say in the face of powerful figures like Huangmu, Yixiao, and Daxiong.

He might end up as a second or third-tier cadre, which he can't stand!
