Chapter 39 Taken
Luo Tian saw that the one-eyed creature had already transformed into human form, but it still launched an attack.
"Fist and Bone Impact"
He suddenly swung his right fist, the knuckles carrying boundless power, straight at the one-eyed man.
The fist was as swift as lightning. Seeing Luo Tian coming towards him with his one eye, he quickly activated his ability to transform into a giant wolf, but it was too late. Luo Tian's fist struck him hard in the abdomen.
This punch was covered with a layer of Armament Haki, making it incredibly powerful.
The moment the fist made contact with the giant wolf, a loud "bang" was heard, as if the entire earth trembled.
The powerful impact not only shattered the hard ground, creating a huge crater, but also scattered the surrounding trees with the force of the punch, sending branches and leaves flying everywhere.
One-Eyed was blasted into the ground like a cannonball, leaving only a deep hole and a cloud of dust.
Standing to the side, Geoff witnessed everything. His mouth gaped open, his eyes widened, and he was completely stunned, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
On the other side, Momousagi was equally astonished, her gaze fixed on Luo Tian, inwardly marveling:
Is this guy really that strong?!
However, Luo Tian showed no intention of stopping.
He gave the giant wolf no chance to catch its breath, and then launched a series of rapid and fierce attacks.
With each attack, his fist would generate a gust of wind, causing the ground to tremble as if it were about to crack open at any moment.
The poor one-eyed giant wolf had just struggled to crawl out from underground and hadn't even had time to stand firm when it was struck again by Luo Tian.
Under Luo Tian's fierce onslaught, the giant wolf finally couldn't hold on any longer, its body twisting and deforming rapidly, and in the end, it actually turned back into human form.
By this time, the one-eyed man was already covered in wounds and barely breathing.
Luo Tian also took out a pair of Seastone handcuffs from his body and handcuffed them.
Then, he took out another pair of handcuffs and looked at Geoff next to him with a smile.
"So, are you going to surrender obediently, or do you want me to beat you up first, and then you'll be arrested obediently?"
Luo Tian said with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, George turned pale and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Without a moment's hesitation, he strode up to Luo Tian and held out his hands, gesturing for the other to put handcuffs on him.
Seeing this, Luo Tian bent down to handcuff him, but at that moment, Qiao Fu's expression changed, and he pulled out a knife from behind his back and stabbed Luo Tian in the abdomen.
"I'll take one of them down with me even if I die!"
"careful!"
Seeing this, Peach Rabbit quickly called out to Luo Tian.
Luo Tian also reacted and instinctively went to defense, throwing a punch at Qiao Fu, aiming for his head.
Since acquiring the Devil Fruit, Geoff has neglected physical training, and Luo Tian's attack struck his temple once again.
In that instant, there was a loud "bang"!
Geoff's head exploded like a ripe watermelon!
In an instant, crimson blood and pale brain matter splattered everywhere.
Luo Tian was affected by this sudden bloody scene.
Red and white liquid splattered onto his body, face, and even hair.
Luo Tian was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Although he had seen some horror movies, he had never encountered anything like it in real life. At this moment, he felt a churning in his stomach, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his chest. His breathing became rapid, and his body trembled involuntarily.
However, at that moment, Luo Tian suddenly realized that there was a peach rabbit standing quietly behind him.
"Relax, calm down, there are still people behind you."
So he gritted his teeth, suppressing the discomfort and nausea rising from the depths of his heart, and tried his best to remain calm.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Tian slowly walked towards where Tao Tu was.
After he came to Momousagi's side, he bent down without hesitation and gently and quickly embraced Momousagi in his arms like a princess.
However, when Momousagi saw that Luo Tian was hugging her in this way again, she was slightly taken aback, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
She said to Luo Tian coquettishly, "Don't do that, I can walk by myself!"
However, Luo Tian seemed completely absorbed in his own world at that moment and did not hear what Momousagi said at all.
And so, Luo Tian steadily carried Tao Tu towards the docked ship.
Along the way, Momousagi tried to struggle and break free from Luo Tian's embrace, but unfortunately, Luo Tian was too strong, and her efforts were ultimately in vain.
Finally back on the ship, Luo Tian carefully placed Tao Tu on a comfortable bench and said to her with concern:
"Gion-nee, you don't need to think about anything right now. Just rest and focus on recovering. I'll take care of the rest of the work. Don't worry."
Faced with Luo Tian's thoughtful and meticulous care, Momousagi felt a warm current welling up in her heart. She nodded gently and replied:
"Ah."
After receiving a response from Momousagi, Luo Tian turned around, quickly walked off the ship, and found a secluded spot to vomit.
"Holy crap, this is disgusting."
After tidying himself up, Luo Tian returned to the island where a fierce battle had just taken place.
Before long, one after another, the defeated pirates were bound hand and foot and escorted back to their ship.
Meanwhile, all those who were originally held hostage were successfully rescued and out of danger.
With all missions successfully completed, the massive warship slowly started up, adjusted its course, and sailed towards the naval headquarters, cutting through the waves.
After Momousagi successfully returned to Marine Headquarters, she walked with light but slightly tired steps straight to Tsuru's office.
Upon entering the room, Momousagi respectfully bowed to Tsuru and began to give a detailed report on the course and results of the operation.
He sat at her desk, listening attentively to Momousagi's story, a look of concern on her face.
After Momousagi finished speaking, Tsuru couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Momosaurusa, how badly are you injured? Have you been to the infirmary for a check-up?"
Upon hearing this, Momousagi involuntarily recalled the scene of Luo Tian risking his life to save her, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
She replied somewhat shyly, "Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant General He. My injury is not serious."
Hearing Momousagi say this, Tsuru's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She nodded gently and said:
"That's good, but you still need to get plenty of rest. Go back and recover from your injuries. As for this mission, based on the information we have so far, it seems that there was a mistake on the part of the intelligence department. We will definitely deal with this matter seriously and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again."
After hearing what the crane said, the peach rabbit bowed to the crane again to show that it understood.
Then, she turned and left the office, heading towards her residence.
Along the way, Momotaro was lost in thought and unknowingly walked onto a quiet path.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, blocking Momousagi's path.
Peach Rabbit looked closely and realized that the person who came was actually Luo Tian! The moment she saw Luo Tian, Peach Rabbit couldn't help but recall the scene of him carrying her in a princess carry that day, and her face immediately turned red and her heart pounded like a deer.
Luo Tian, however, had a cheerful expression on his face. Seeing Tao Tu's absent-minded look, he said:
"Gion-nee, are you thinking about your sword?"
Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Momousagi's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
She thought of the sword that had always been with her and had gone through countless battles.
Although it is not a peerless sword, a deep emotional bond has been built between them over the years.
Just then, Luo Tian suddenly turned around and, as if by magic, pulled out a gleaming knife from behind his back.
"Ta-da!"
With a broad smile, he handed the knife to Momousagi and said:
"Here you go! I went through a lot of trouble to find this in that guy's treasure vault, and I specially saved it for you! You know, as a swordsman, how can you manage without a decent sword?"
With curiosity and anticipation, Momousagi carefully took the knife from Luo Tian's hand.
As she slowly drew her blade, a cold light instantly shone on her beautiful face.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that although the knife was not a famous one, its craftsmanship and materials were top-notch, and it was comparable to the legendary Twenty-One Great Swords.
However, faced with such a precious gift, Momousagi seemed a little hesitant and shy.
She gently pushed the knife back to Luo Tian, blushing as she whispered:
"This...this isn't right, it doesn't comply with regulations. All the items we seize need to be turned in."
Luo Tian waved his hand dismissively and replied with a smile:
"Oh dear, rules are rules, but people are flexible! Besides, your knife was damaged during a mission, can't you just get a new one? Don't worry, only the two of us know about this, no one else will find out."
As he spoke, he shoved the knife back into Momousagi's arms, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination that brooked no refusal.
Momousagi looked at Luo Tian with a helpless expression. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she could not resist his firm and persistent attitude in the end.
She gently took the knife from Luo Tian, feeling the slight coolness and heavy weight of the hilt.
Seeing that Momotaro had put away his sword, Luo Tian revealed a smug smile on his face, then turned around and strode away without any hesitation.
His figure appeared exceptionally free and confident under the sunlight, as if nothing in this world could stop him from moving forward.
Momousagi stood quietly in place, her gaze following Luo Tian's receding figure until he disappeared from sight. Only then did she slowly lower her head and refocus her attention on the knife in her hand.
"This guy..."
Peach Rabbit murmured softly, her tone containing a hint of reproach, as well as a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
As she recalled her time with Luo Tian, a wave of emotion washed over her.
This seemingly unruly man always manages to do things that are unexpected and leave a deep impression on people.
