Chapter 128 Getting Beaten

At this moment, the stranger standing next to Law had his eyes fixed on Luffy, who had suddenly barged in.

He turned his head to look at Luo with a slightly mocking smile, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey Luo, how about we make a bet? We'll bet on whether this kid in the straw hat can successfully rescue that mermaid. If he can, then you'll join my team, how about it?"

However, Luo merely glanced at the stranger with undisguised annoyance at this pointless suggestion, showing no intention of responding.

Meanwhile, Luffy was already engaged in a fierce battle with the guards.

He moved nimbly through the crowd, using both fists and feet to knock the guards off their feet.

Just then, Charlia suddenly raised her spear and aimed it at the struggling Hachi.

Her face contorted with rage as she shouted menacingly.

"Shut up! You disgusting mermaid!"

With a gunshot, the bullet flew rapidly toward Xiaoba.

Xiao Ba was caught off guard and instantly fell to the ground after being shot.

Seeing this, the onlookers showed no sympathy whatsoever; instead, they gloated.

"Great, they've finally been defeated!"

"Exactly! Fishmen are still human bodies at the end of the day, but they have fish heads and stand on two legs. It's disgusting to look at!"

"Everyone, please stay away! You might catch some strange disease!"

Meanwhile, in the center of the stage, Kemi, who was trapped in a giant glass tank, witnessed Hachi falling down injured and was extremely anxious.

She frantically pounded on the fish tank, trying to rush out to help Xiao Ba, but to no avail.

Charlia looked coldly at Hachi, who had fallen to the ground, and mocked him with disdain.

"Hmph, merfolk are indeed disgusting creatures. Even commoners are much better than you."

Upon seeing this, Luffy's expression instantly turned ashen, revealing a chilling aura.

He clenched his teeth and walked silently toward Charlia Palace.

Each step seemed so heavy and powerful, as if it were about to leave deep footprints on the ground.

Just then, Hachi suddenly stretched out a hand, trying to stop Luffy's advance.

His face was full of anxiety and worry, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, clearly indicating that he had exhausted all his strength.

"No, Luffy! You mustn't get angry!"

Xiao Ba shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse from the exertion.

He continued speaking, panting heavily.

"It's all my fault, I messed things up..."

After a brief pause, he took a deep breath and continued.

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot lay a hand on the Celestial Dragons! Have you forgotten what you promised me? Besides, I'm a pirate, so I deserve this treatment. Perhaps this is my retribution..."

At this point, Hachi lowered his head with a face full of guilt, not daring to look Luffy in the eye.

"I'm sorry, Luffy... I really wanted to do my part to atone for my sins against Nami, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this... Sigh, it seems I mess up no matter what I do. I'm such a useless person."

"In the end, not only did I not help, but I also caused you a lot of trouble... I'm sorry, I'm really very sorry..."

Xiao Ba became increasingly depressed as he spoke, clutching the blood flowing from his chest and lying on the ground, panting heavily.

However, at that moment, Charlia Palace let out another angry curse.

"Hmph! What a piece of junk! It's already been shot, and it still talks so much."

At this moment, Luffy's eyes seemed to be burning with raging anger as he stared intently at Charlia Palace not far away.

Charlia looked back at Luffy with an arrogant and utterly contemptuous gaze, and said coldly.

"What right do you, a lowly commoner, have to look me in the eye like that?"

However, Luffy seemed not to hear her words. He walked slowly but firmly towards Charlia Palace.

Seeing this, Pappagu was extremely anxious and hurriedly spread his arms to try to stop Luffy, but his efforts were obviously in vain.

Luffy is like an enraged lion, and no one can stop him from moving forward.

Standing a little further away, Kidd took in all of this. He stared at Luffy as he approached Charlia Palace and muttered to himself.

"Is this guy going to attack a Celestial Dragon?"

Just then, the stranger standing next to Luo suddenly turned around and asked Luo a question.

Do you think Luffy will fight a Celestial Dragon? Want to bet, Law?

Faced with this question, Law remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Luffy.

Seeing Luffy charging towards her menacingly, Charlia felt a sudden tightness in her chest. Instinctively, she raised her gun and pulled the trigger repeatedly, bullets whistling out and heading straight for Luffy.

However, Luffy easily dodged left and right, and the bullets missed their mark, hitting the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Guards?! Where are the guards?"

When Charlia saw this, her face turned deathly pale. Knowing that the situation was dire, she hurriedly shouted for her guards to come to her aid.

Upon hearing her cries for help, the guards in the distance immediately sprang into action and rushed toward her.

But Luffy wasn't about to give them a chance. He suddenly pushed off with his feet, and his speed increased dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, Luffy arrived in front of Charlia. Without hesitation, he swung his right fist and smashed it hard into Charlia's delicate face.

With a loud bang, Charlia Palace was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, flying several meters before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Upon landing, Charlia Palace immediately fainted and lay there motionless.

Those around who witnessed this scene were all so shocked that their mouths were agape and their eyes were wide open, as if they could not believe what was happening before their eyes.

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, except for bursts of arrogant laughter from the stranger sitting next to Luo.

"Hahaha, it's so much more fun to see it live!"

This person was none other than Luo Tian.

At this moment, Luffy slowly turned around and gave his crewmates an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I just heard that if we take down this guy, it will attract a naval admiral and warships."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nami quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined Hachi's injuries.

"This is a huge problem."

Xiao Ba said breathlessly.

"Luffy has always acted recklessly like this, everyone's used to it."

The other members, however, were completely unconcerned about the impending crisis. Instead, they were all eager to get started and ready to face a fierce battle.
