Chapter 150 Obstruction
Chapter 150 Obstruction
At that critical moment, Kizaru immediately extended his finger, and a dazzling laser beam shot out like lightning, hurtling straight toward Luffy.
As the fatal blow was about to hit Luffy, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
However, at this critical moment, Ivankov stepped forward.
Ivankov activated the Hormone Fruit's power, and an invisible force surged forth from his hands.
This powerful force instantly acted on Luffy, sending him flying to the side.
Luffy shot out like a cannonball, narrowly avoiding Kizaru's incredibly sharp laser attack.
Kizaru's attack, having lost its target, struck the ground directly, causing a tremendous explosion.
Smoke billowed, and gravel flew everywhere, causing the entire battlefield to tremble.
Bucky and the others, who were watching from a distance, were stunned by what they saw.
Bucky, in particular, had his already comical face contorted with fear, and he kept yelling.
"How scary! I really want to go home!"
The prisoners who were with him were stunned at first when they heard his shout, but then they shouted excitedly.
One of the prisoners asked excitedly.
Is what you just said true?
Another prisoner chimed in, "Captain Bucky, you said before that you were going to make these sailors regret it. Were you serious?"
Upon hearing this, Bucky opened his mouth wide and let out a puzzled "Ah".
Bucky clearly hadn't expected his casual remark to elicit such a huge reaction.
At that moment, the surrounding prisoners seemed to suddenly remember something, and they all turned to stare at Bucky, their eyes filled with expectation and trust.
Upon hearing this, Bucky's face turned pale and then red, and he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.
At that moment, the prisoners echoed in unison once again.
"As expected of the crew of the legendary Pirate King! They are not afraid at all when facing such a terrifying enemy as Admiral Kizaru!"
Hearing this praise, Bucky's tense mood relaxed a little. Bucky couldn't help but scratch his head shyly, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, MR3, who was standing to the side, loudly complained:
"Have you guys all been deafened by Hope? It was just Bucky making things up..."
Just then, Ivankov, a tall man dressed in strange clothes and with exaggerated makeup, rushed to Luffy's side.
Ivankov asked with a concerned expression.
"Luffy! Are you alright?"
Luffy got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and grinned at Ivankov.
"Haha, thanks little Ivan! That was really close!"
Upon hearing this, Ivankov immediately straightened his back and responded in a booming voice.
Protecting your life is my mission.
However, before he could finish speaking, Ivankov's expression suddenly changed. He keenly sensed a powerful energy gathering in the distance, as if another powerful laser was about to be launched.
"Could it be that annoying Kizaru again?"
Ivankov pondered to himself.
But Ivankov quickly dismissed his idea, because this aura was completely different from the one that Kizaru had emitted before.
Upon closer inspection, Ivankov was surprised to find that the one preparing to fire the laser was not Kizaru, but a massive figure—the World Government's artificial weapon, the "Pacifista."
But Ivankov didn't know it was a robot and still thought it was his old friend, the bear.
In the blink of an eye, several sharp whistles pierced the sky, and several dazzling laser beams shot towards their location.
Seeing this, Ivankov dodged the deadly attacks with incredible agility.
However, despite this, Ivankov was still furious and kept muttering to himself.
"Damn you, Kuma! You've gone too far! Even if you're a Shichibukai now, you can't treat your old friend like this! To fire such a dangerous laser at me is unforgivable!"
Just then, Ivankov solemnly raised his hand and pointed a thick index finger directly at the "bear".
"Bear, you bastard..."
Ivankov's mouth was slightly open as if he was about to say something, but then something unexpected happened.
Before Ivankov could finish speaking, he was met with an incredibly sharp laser beam.
The laser beam shot through Ivankov's afro hairstyle in an instant, striking him like lightning.
At the same time, Luffy, seeing this, turned around and looked at Ivankov with a worried expression, shouting loudly.
"Little Ivan!"
Upon hearing Luffy's shout, Ivankov quickly turned around, gave Luffy a reassuring smile, and shouted back.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Leave this to me, you go ahead and leave!"
After hearing Ivankov's words, Luffy nodded heavily in response.
"I see!"
Without hesitation, Luffy turned around and continued running towards the execution platform.
However, Luffy's journey is not without its challenges.
Luffy hadn't run far when he encountered Rear Admiral Tina's obstruction.
Luffy roared upon seeing this.
"I don't have time to waste with you."
"Don't even think about escaping."
Tina took a puff of her cigarette, then waved her hands, activating her Cage-Cage Fruit power.
"Qiao·Yujian"
In an instant, Tina opened her arms, which transformed into two iron bars, surrounding Luffy.
"Anything that passes through my body will be locked up."
Tina then brought the iron bars formed by her arms together, preparing to imprison Luffy.
Despite the sudden attack, Luffy remained calm and composed.
"I don't want to be locked up in jail again."
Luffy's eyes narrowed, and his inner power erupted instantly. He then activated Gear Second, increasing his speed several times over.
Second gear
In the blink of an eye, Luffy was no longer in Tina's encirclement, but appeared behind her.
Luffy then flashed past Tina from above and headed straight for the execution platform in the distance.
Due to Luffy's extremely fast reaction and speed, Tina's attack not only failed to hit its target, but also firmly immobilized the surrounding Marine soldiers who did not have time to dodge.
Seeing that her attack had missed, Tina turned to look at Luffy, who had already fled, and said slowly.
"That was fast! I didn't see it. Tina was careless."
