Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 322 Are you crazy?!

boom!

The Red Earl's body flew backward at an extremely fast speed, drawing a trajectory in mid-air, while a large mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.

Visibly, the Red Earl plummeted into the sea below like a shooting star.

Boom—

A tremendous sound was heard, followed by a huge wave.

The terrifying power sent waves hundreds of meters high into the air, and the terrifying force swept outwards wave after wave.

Centered on the Red Earl's landing point, towering waves swept outwards in waves.

"Um?!"

"Resolved?"

Zoro frowned slightly.

He hasn't even officially started to exert his strength yet!

In the Canglan Squad, he was definitely one of the most hardworking in training.

Luffy and Sanji didn't use their full strength just now, so did he use all his strength?

All I can say is, how is that possible?!

Both of them have hidden cards up their sleeves, and so does he.

but--

In this situation, is his trump card useless?

Zoro's brow remained furrowed; he had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

As one of the Four Emperors, there's no reason why Red Earl should be defeated so easily!

The problem is that the other party is indeed a Devil Fruit user, and it is common knowledge that Devil Fruit users are afraid of seawater.

Although many powerful individuals have developed a certain immunity to seawater or sea stone as their strength has increased.

However, that only provides a certain level of immunity; overall, Seastone or seawater remains the nemesis of ability users.

Even the Four Emperors are no exception.

Therefore, since the Red Earl has already been shot down to the bottom of the sea, theoretically he should indeed be defeated.

But Zoro felt something was off; things had ended way too quickly!

boom--

While I was pondering, the still-unsettled seawater exploded again, and then a blood-red sphere burst out of the seawater, flying a certain distance in the air before stopping.

Zoro's eyes lit up immediately, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It seems he will most likely still be able to use his trump cards.

He always said that!

How could the Red Earl, one of the Four Emperors, be defeated so easily?

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the blood-red sphere was actually a constantly surging stream of blood.

Almost instantly, Zoro had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

When Luffy knocked him into the sea, Red Earl had already used his ability to create this blood-red sphere, completely enveloping him.

After crashing into the seabed, it isolated itself from the seawater, preventing it from being touched by the sea.

Otherwise, once his body is engulfed by seawater, there would be absolutely no way for Count Red to come back up.

puff--

Like the sound of bubbles bursting, the crimson sphere also shattered like a bubble, revealing the Red Earl within.

However, compared to the beginning, the current Count Red looks somewhat disheveled and is no longer the elegant nobleman he once was.

His clothes were not only disheveled, but also had some tears.

But the Red Earl paid no attention to any of this. Instead, he suddenly raised the umbrella knife in his hand above his head and wrapped it with Armament Haki.

That is, in the next second.

Bang! !

A dull thud was heard as a crimson fist slammed into the Red Earl's umbrella knife.

A powerful impact suddenly erupted, blasting the Red Earl away once again.

A streak of crimson light flashed through the air at an extremely fast speed.

The Red Earl, flying backwards, was flapping his bat wings incessantly to counteract the force he was carrying.

He strained to look up, and what came into view was Luffy rushing towards him again at an incredible speed.

Sensing the immense and sharp aura emanating from Luffy, Red Earl narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint flashing within them.

"You really think you're so great and awesome, huh?"

Before he could finish speaking, the bat wings behind the Red Earl suddenly trembled, abruptly stopping his body.

Suspended in mid-air, Count Red's eyes were sharp, his right hand gripping the umbrella knife, veins bulging on his arm.

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously enveloped the umbrella blade, causing the surrounding air to instantly freeze, with faint black and red lightning flashing.

Then, with a single swing of the sword!

A crimson blade of light shot out, but its size was insignificant compared to the blades of light that Count Red had previously unleashed; it was only a few feet in size.

However, the power emanating from it was far beyond what the previous blades could match.

Wherever the blade's edge passed, the space trembled and vibrated, as if the space itself was about to be torn apart by its sharpness.

On the other side, Luffy, who was speeding away, felt no fear at all when he sensed the terrifying blade's aura; instead, his eyes were filled with excitement.

That's exactly what makes it interesting!!

Luffy clenched his fist and wrapped it with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

Seriously, what era are we living in? I thought he wouldn't be able to use Conqueror's Haki?

After being punched so many times by fists imbued with Conqueror's Haki, if he still couldn't learn it, he might as well go find a sharp corner and smash his head against it to death.

"Super Jet Pistol!!"

Luffy spoke eloquently, throwing a powerful punch that clashed with the oncoming crimson blade of light.

hum-

In an instant, the world lost its color, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in gray.

Then, like an atomic singularity explosion, an incredibly terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted from the point where the blade and the fist met.

The terrifying shockwave spread at an extremely fast speed, and the space along its path shook continuously.

!!!

Sanji and Zoro, on the other side, also changed their expressions upon feeling the powerful shockwave and immediately assumed defensive stances to deal with the incoming shockwave.

However, the ship that the Red Earl had been on was not so lucky.

The ship began to disintegrate rapidly the instant the shockwave swept across it, with the sound of wood chips shattering incessant.

In a very short time, the ship had completely disintegrated, turning into pieces of wreckage floating on the sea.

Among them, one figure suddenly leaped up and couldn't help but utter a sentence:

"Holy crap!! Are you crazy?!"
