Chapter 174 - Chapter 174: Momonosuke Cremated on the Spot

Trafalgar Law: "Straw Hat! That side is finished, right?!"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu...!!! You really found a good helper, didn't you! But... don't think I'll just sit idly by over here! Red-Haired Luffy's strength is formidable, but sometimes... strength doesn't decide life or death!"

Gecko Moria: "Still stubborn! You'll die with one glance, no chance for you to plot at all!!!"

Crocodile: "That clown thinks he's smart! But what he doesn't know is that his cleverness is useless in front of Red-Haired Luffy!"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Then we shall wait and see! Fufufufu!!!"

[Led by Trafalgar Law, the Straw Hat Pirates and their group quickly arrived at the children's living quarters.]

[The door opened, and inside, a group of children were gathered around a slender, beautiful woman, begging for candy!]

[Among these children, some were extraordinarily large, clearly the result of experiments.]

["Candy!"]

["We want candy!"]

[The children surrounded the woman, looking greedy and hungry.]

["What a lovely sight~~~" Chopper's eyes glowed with adoration~~~]

[Trafalgar Law said, "Don't be fooled, Raccoon. That candy is a kind of poison that makes these children obedient!"]

[At this moment, Monet stopped her movements. She looked towards Trafalgar Law: "Law, are you not going to continue pretending?"]

[Hearing this, Trafalgar Law's brow slightly furrowed: "What do you mean? Do you know my identity?"]

[Monet's lips slowly curled into a cold arc: "Hehe, let me introduce myself. I am a red-heart executive of the Donquixote family, Monet!"]

["What!!!"]

[These words truly left Trafalgar Law utterly shocked~~~]

[He had been lurking here for half a year, for several months... So Doflamingo knew everything long ago...]

[He himself thought everything was going very smoothly...]

[Now it seems, I am a clown!!!]

[Looking at Trafalgar Law's shocked and pale appearance, Monet let out a cold laugh: "However..., you actually brought the Straw Hat Pirate group over. This is truly unexpected!"]

["Monet, since you know Straw Hat's identity, then... don't do anything rebellious. As long as you cooperate with us to eliminate Doflamingo, we won't make things difficult for you!" Trafalgar Law proposed.]

[However, as soon as these words were uttered, a devilish smile instantly appeared on Monet's face: "Hahahaha!!! My life and my sister's life were given by the Young Master. You want me to cooperate with you to eliminate the Young Master? Hahaha! Law...

from the moment I monitored you entering here, I had already activated the self-destruct program here. Using my life to eliminate a few people from the Straw Hat Pirates, though very disadvantageous, can at least vent a bit of the Young Master's anger!!"]

[Saying that, Monet looked at Luffy with fierce eyes: "Straw Hat Luffy! Two years ago, because you punched my Young Master at the Summit War, causing him to lose two molars! Whenever it rains, he still has a toothache!!! I've always remembered this grudge!!!"]

["This time, since fate has brought you here, then let's go down to hell with me and become food for those massive dragons! Hahahahaha!!!"]

[Amidst her maniacal laughter, Monet's body instantly transformed into an ice and snow form. She became an Ice and Snow Witch, opening her sharp ice and snow fangs, and pounced towards Trafalgar Law~~~]

["Ah—!!!"]

[Luffy's Conqueror's Haki surged, forming a powerful roar that instantly sent Monet flying backward in mid-air, causing her to spit blood from her mouth.]

[Monet lay on the ground, panting heavily. Her mouth continuously twitched as she laughed maniacally: "Straw Hat Luffy, your reputation truly isn't unfounded! But, the moment I saw you in the surveillance just now, I already thought of this! Now, the self-destruct program should have less than 10 seconds left, right? Even if you run out now, you won't make it out of this island! Hahahaha!!!"]

[Monet had a good understanding of herself. She knew that she was no match for the Straw Hat Pirates and their group, so she resolutely activated the self-destruct program, wanting to perish together with herself and the Straw Hat Pirates!]

[Ha~~~ Ha~~~ Ha~~~ Ha~~~]

[Just as Monet said, the entire research facility suddenly blared with alarms. All the alarm lights flashed desperately~~~]

["Damn it!!! She really activated the self-destruct program!!!" Trafalgar Law's face turned pale with alarm~~~]

["Franky! Immediately notify Thousand Sunny for an emergency retreat!!!"]

[Luffy's true strength was formidable, but facing an explosion of this island-sized scale, he dared not be careless.]

[He instantly entered Gear 4: Nika form~~~]

["Gomu Gomu no... King Kong Gun!!! —"]

[Luffy raised his hand and threw a punch, directly blasting open the top of the research facility, creating a gigantic "skylight"...]

[Subsequently, his arm quickly stretched, swiftly grabbing his companions, Law, and the innocent children present~~~]

[He stomped his foot violently! Boom!!!]

[Luffy instantly leaped into the extremely high sky~~~]

["Gomu Gomu no... Hot Air Balloon! —"]

[Upon reaching the sky, Luffy's stomach instantly became an enormous balloon, floating above the sea's influence, and even rising higher...]

["Five.... Four.... Three.... Two.... One...."]

[As Nami's silent countdown ended, Punk Hazard instantly exploded!!!]

[Terrifying flames instantly erupted from every corner of the island. The violent shockwaves of the explosion seemed to rip the very sky apart!!!]

[The air currents generated by the explosion pushed Luffy's hot air balloon far, far away with a whoosh.]

["Whoa ah ah!!! That explosion was terrifying!!!"]

[Looking at the mushroom cloud rising below, Chopper's entire body of fur stood up in fright...]

["Truly a vicious woman...!!!"]

[Nami also took a deep breath, secretly marveling at Monet's decisiveness and ruthlessness!]

[For the sake of the Young Master, she didn't hesitate to abandon her own life, wanting to drag them down with her to escape this calamity...]

[If it weren't for Luffy, they would really have been in more danger than safety~~~]

Marine Headquarters, Marineford~~~

"Ah...!!!"

When they saw Punk Hazard engulfed in a sea of flames in the red frame video, Kozuki Oden anxiously cried out~~~

"What's wrong, Oden??"

Roger immediately turned his head and asked suspiciously.

"It's over!!! My son!!! My son, Momonosuke...!!! Momonosuke is still in that abandoned corridor! He's going to be directly blown to smithereens!!!"

Kozuki Oden cried out in pain. He wanted to violently slap his thigh, but the painful memories of the Summit War made him extremely weak.

Just now, in the White Frame video, because Luffy saved Momonosuke, Kozuki Oden knew Momonosuke was in the abandoned corridor of Punk Hazard's research facility~~~

But now..., in the red frame video, the entire Punk Hazard directly rose up into several mushroom clouds...

No need to think about Momonosuke in that corridor... he's definitely finished!!!

Oh no..., not finished, but cremated...!!!

Cremated on the spot!!

Whitebeard also opened his mouth, then comforted him: "This... accept it, Oden!!!"

Marco reminded: "Oden, don't worry too much. This is a red frame video after all. Your son here is still alive! After the Summit War ends, when we return to the New World, I'll go with you to Punk Hazard and save your son!!"

Gol D. Roger also said hurriedly: "That's right!! Oden, I know your son over there is also your son, but what's more important is that your son here is still alive!!"

Kozuki Oden breathed heavily. Hearing everyone's persuasion, he also came to his senses~~~

That's right!!

Momonosuke here, you absolutely cannot be in trouble!!!

[A few kilometers away from Punk Hazard, the Thousand Sunny reappeared on the surface~~~]

[Luffy landed with his crew...]

[Subsequently, at Law's call, his submarine also surfaced~~~]

["Compared to your ship, my submarine is simply like a toy~~~"]

[Trafalgar Law had his subordinates take the children over, while awkwardly saying.]

[This is probably what is meant by "goods bought are goods sold"...]

[Luffy waved his hand: "These children are entrusted to you! As for Doflamingo, I will destroy him as promised."]

[Just as Trafalgar Law was about to close the hatch, he suddenly thought of something else. He jumped onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny, pulled out a Life Card from his body, and tore off a piece to give to Luffy.]

["Is this your Life Card...????" Luffy reached out and took it.]

[Trafalgar Law shook his head: "No! This is a Life Card of a local Mink Tribe member from Zou. I was interested in that place not long ago~~~"]

["Zou??" Luffy's face showed a puzzled expression.]

[Trafalgar Law explained: "The leader of Zou is a survivor of Ohara. She can translate the Poneglyphs, and there is a red Poneglyph in Zou's Whale Forest. The leader of Zou will definitely want to investigate it."]

Sengoku: "Red Poneglyph!!! One of the four Red Poneglyphs!!!"

Jesus Burgess: "He actually found it in Zou? That's really a hard place to find!!!"

Kong: "This matter also needs to be highlighted. When time permits, we must bring this Poneglyph from Zou back to Mary Geoise for safekeeping!!!"

...

Gol D. Roger: "Tsk tsk... Really shameless! But... old dog Kong, your idea is useless! When I'm in a good mood someday, I'll directly announce the coordinates of all four Red Poneglyphs~~~"

Sengoku: "Roger, don't do stupid things!"

Gecko Moria: "Directly announce the coordinates of all four Road Poneglyphs??? Hahahahaha... And there's such a good thing???"

Gol D. Roger: "Hahahaha!!! If you want to go to Raftel, you still have to rely on your own efforts to find the landmarks!"

Of course... if the World Government acts too disgustingly, I will definitely announce the coordinates...!!!"

["Poneglyph!!! Or a red Road Poneglyph!!!"]

[Hearing Trafalgar Law's words, Luffy and Law both showed surprised expressions~~~]

["Great!!! That's the expression!!! Straw Hat, so you're a normal person with normal emotions too!" Trafalgar Law said with a smile, pointing at Luffy's expression.]

[Luffy smiled slightly: "What you said... a cold exterior is just for dealing with outsiders. If it's for friends, I won't put on airs and graces!!!"]

["But... Zou should be a place name, right? Why did you give us a Life Card, not a permanent log pose...??" Luffy asked, sensing something.]

[Trafalgar Law smiled mysteriously, his lips curling into a knowing arc: "As for the answer to this question, allow me to keep you in suspense for now...!!! When you arrive at Zou yourselves, I guarantee you'll be surprised again~~~"]

["Alright!!! Then thank you! Friend!"]

[Saying that, Luffy took out his Life Card, tore off a piece, and handed it to Trafalgar Law.]

[Trafalgar Law took Luffy's Life Card, then tore off a piece of his own Life Card and quickly gave it to Luffy.]

[After bidding farewell to the Heart Pirates, the Thousand Sunny sailed towards Dressrosa...]

Gecko Moria: "Hahahahaha!!! Prepare to usher in a spectacular moment!!!"

Crocodile: "You said it! Let's see how that little clown uses his wits to kill Red-Haired Luffy~~~"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Then you all open your eyes wide and watch carefully!!! "

Continuously mocked by these two fellows, even if Doflamingo had a bigger temper, he couldn't help but feel disgusted~~~

[The Thousand Sunny arrived at Dressrosa~~~]

[This is a wild port, and the coastline is an endless expanse of huge rocks, like a city wall~~~]

["Mr. Luffy...... I... can I get off the ship with you......?" Shirahoshi swam out of the swimming pool on the deck, looking at Luffy timidly~~~]

[Luffy readily agreed: "Of course! This is a human kingdom. The island not only has forests but also human cities. It's perfect to take you for a good time~~~"]

[Back on Punk Hazard, that island was a barren island. Let alone forests, even grass couldn't be seen anywhere~~~]

[Now docked at Dressrosa's wild port, stepping ashore reveals lush forests, perfectly fulfilling Shirahoshi's wish~~~]

[Walking in the forest, although it sounds like a trivial matter...]

[But Luffy understood that for Shirahoshi, this could be said to be her biggest wish since she was born!!!]

[Since he promised Shirahoshi, this matter absolutely cannot be taken lightly!!!]

[After going ashore, Shirahoshi equipped herself with a bubble-blowing device, and with the power of the bubble-blower, she could move freely!]

[The group arrived in this primeval forest. The towering ancient trees were dozens of meters high!!!!]

["It's amazing!!! I've never seen such trees...!!!" Shirahoshi reached out and touched the tree trunk, crying excitedly~~~]

Splash!! —

[Suddenly, the seawater outside the coast churned violently, and two Sea Kings directly emerged from the water~~~]

["Huh~~~?"]

[Luffy was startled and quickly comforted Shirahoshi, "Shirahoshi, don't cry anymore. If you cry, you'll cry the Sea Kings over~~~"]

[If she cried for a little longer, wouldn't all the Sea Kings in the surrounding waters come over to pay respects at the dock...]

[Then it would be lively!!!]

[With so many Sea Kings, one sneeze each, Dressrosa's coastline might be completely submerged~~~]

[After Luffy comforted Shirahoshi, he gently used Conqueror's Haki to intimidate these two Sea Kings away.]

[But suddenly, he heard goodwill from these two Sea Kings...]

[That was a kind of message conveying friendliness!!!]

[Even... there was a hint of licking...]

[???]

[Instantly, Luffy was a little puzzled.]

[These Sea Kings...... are licking me???]
