Chapter 329 The Sound of a Heartbeat!
Zoro unsurprisingly approached the Red Earl.
A metallic clang rang out as the two men's swords clashed in mid-air, sparks flying.
The Red Earl's lips curled into a smile.
"Interesting, really interesting!!"
"It seems your Canglan Squad is truly living up to its reputation; each and every one of you is even stronger than the rumors suggest!"
"This makes me even more curious about just how strong your captain, Kyle, really is!"
Is it really as outrageous as the rumors suggest?
"Heh~ Would you like to give it a try?"
Zoro spoke calmly.
"Of course!!"
"You probably won't have that chance! Wait until you can get past me before considering this!"
Zoro spoke again, and then Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously enveloped the two swords in his hands, launching a continuous attack on Red Earl.
Clang clang clang clang!!
The sounds of swords clashing were incessant, and blade light continuously emanated from the two men, tearing open the ground.
Sanji and Bondi Wald, on the other side, tacitly kept a distance to prevent themselves from being struck by sudden blade strikes during the battle.
That's no joke.
The two then exchanged a glance and charged at each other, engaging in a fierce battle.
As the battle unfolded, aftershocks continued to spread.
Before they knew it, a quarter of an hour had passed. As the four figures crossed paths again, two of them were sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
Pfft!
Before he could even get up, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
The two were none other than Zoro and Sanji. They struggled to their feet, their bodies swaying slightly.
The injuries on his body were clearly visible, and his aura was much weaker than before.
On the other side, Red Earl and Bondi Wald were also in a bad situation, but much better off than Zoro and Sanji.
The relative strengths and weaknesses are quite obvious.
But this is normal, although Zoro and Sanji are already quite strong, only a step away from becoming admirals.
However, he is still far inferior to top powerhouses of the old era such as the Red Earl and Bondi Wald.
You might be able to compete with your opponent in the short term, but in the long run, you will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.
After all, there is still a gap in hard power.
Count Red and Bondi Wald looked at the two wounded men opposite them, and then at their own injuries.
A look of amazement appeared in his eyes.
When they were each other's age, their strength was far inferior to each other's.
If we let them escape today and continue to grow, they will definitely become top-tier powerhouses on the high seas in a few years.
They are even stronger than they were at their peak.
But unfortunately...
They won't be able to wait until then.
They won't watch their enemy grow stronger; only someone with a screw loose would do that.
The right approach is to nip the opponent in the bud!
Although the other party is not exactly still in its infancy.
Okay, in conclusion.
They're about to make their move!
Boom!
Just as the two were about to make their move, a voice suddenly rang out.
The voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, forcibly stopping them in their tracks.
The two instinctively looked at each other, then narrowed their eyes.
Bondi Wald frowned slightly.
"What was that just now?"
"I'm curious about that too!"
The Red Earl spoke softly, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
Boom! !
"Um?!"
The two of them let out another soft exclamation.
Before they could react further, similar sounds began to appear repeatedly, and they grew louder and louder.
Boom! !
Boom! ! !
Boom boom boom!
……
The sounds not only became louder, but the intervals between them also became longer.
"Why does this sound a bit like a heartbeat?"
A look of confusion crossed Bondi Wald's face.
"It sounds more like the sound of war drums to me!"
The Red Earl spoke up from the side, then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
"It's as if... as if something is about to wake up!"
"But the problem is..."
"Where is that sound coming from?"
The Red Earl's brows remained furrowed as he scanned his surroundings.
He desperately wanted to know where the sound was coming from, but unfortunately he couldn't find its source.
The sound seemed to come from the heavens and earth, appearing to come from all directions, yet none of them seemed to be the source.
In short, it was a very strange feeling.
On the other side, Zoro and Sanji stared at each other, equally bewildered.
They didn't know where the sound was coming from.
until--
boom--
A terrifying aura of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from somewhere, followed by a terrifying shockwave.
!!!
In an instant, all four of them turned their gazes toward a certain direction.
"Where is that?"
Sanji's face showed a hint of surprise, and then he asked in confusion:
"Didn't Luffy faint?"
That's right, the noise came from the crater where Luffy was blasted into.
However, what puzzled them was—
Based on their past experience, they were certain that Luffy's aura just now indicated he was definitely dizzy.
still have a question.
It was the ever-growing aura within the pit that made them feel both strange and familiar.
They felt familiar with it because they were certain it was Luffy's aura, but it felt unfamiliar because it seemed to be mixed with some other indescribable aura.
Moreover, this ever-increasing pressure...
When did Luffy become this strong?
"Ha ha!!"
Suddenly, a laugh rang out, startling Zoro and his companion once again.
……
After a moment of silence.
"Luffy... what is he laughing at?!"
They could clearly distinguish that the sound they had just heard was Luffy's laughter.
But... is now the time to be laughing so happily? Did you remember something funny?
"Hahaha!!"
Luffy's laughter rang out again and continued unabated.
"Ha ha……"
"Hahaha……"
And along with the laughter, there was also an increasingly powerful Conqueror's Haki.
boom--
Countless black and red lightning bolts flashed continuously around them.
Amidst the turmoil, the smoke and dust that had dissipated began to rise again, and cracks appeared in the ground.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly burst out of the smoke and dust and soared into the sky...
