"How..."
Upon hearing this sentence, all members of the Straw Hat Pirates broke out in cold sweat.
Stronger than the Pirate King?!!!
Chopper, being straightforward, stiffened while holding the small figure, his face frozen as he shouted,
"Luffy just declared war on Orin, no way!!!"
Rayleigh was stunned by this statement, then looked at the Straw Hat crew.
Everyone had a grave expression.
His face immediately became a bit strange, he took a sip of wine to calm himself.
No way?
Orin shouldn't go against the promise he made to Roger and crush the hope of the future, right?
After a moment of silence, he could only let out a dry laugh and speak,
"Don't worry, Orin is a very measured person, he shouldn't go too far, after all, you guys are the ones he watched grow up."
"Really?!!!"
The cowardly trio lifted their heads full of hope, looking at Rayleigh.
Rayleigh wanted to nod, but then thought of Orin's style of never playing by the rules, and awkwardly smiled.
Although he was once Orin's vice-captain,
But now he was old after all, he couldn't defeat the current Orin in a direct fight, so he could only offer some verbal comfort.
On the contrary, Luffy, with the spirit of a newborn calf not fearing the tiger, seriously adjusted his straw hat,
"I got it, Rayleigh, I won't back down from the fight with Orin-san!!!"
Then, the group no longer talked much about fighting Orin, worrying wouldn't help anyway.
Usopp asked a question,
"What exactly is One Piece?"
But as soon as the words came out, Luffy interrupted directly, saying he didn't want to know now, he wanted to adventure himself, even if he encountered danger, it didn't matter.
"This sea is far more dangerous than imagined, can you rule this sea?"
"I don't want to rule, the Pirate King should be the freest, right~"
Hearing this answer, Rayleigh felt gratified in his old age,
"That's right, the Pirate King should be the freest man, in pursuing this point, you, Roger, and Orin all think alike."
Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but frown,
"That Emperor who once dominated half the sea, his ambition is actually freedom too?!!!"
Robin couldn't imagine that the man so powerful that the World Government yielded, and the overlords of the sea shed blood, was not driven by ambition.
"Emperor??? Oh!! You mean Orin..."
Rayleigh obviously almost didn't react, because this title hadn't been mentioned for a long time,
"That guy's dream is absolute freedom and happiness belonging to himself, different from Roger and Luffy's, Perhaps because of that, even though Orin's power has conquered nearly the entire world, he still won't be the Pirate King inheriting Roger's will."
"Of course, maybe it's because he doesn't want to become the Pirate King, after all, he holds the Eternal Pointer directly to Laugh Tale."
Rayleigh said faintly,
Orin was after all someone he watched grow up, he understood him all too well,
But for the Straw Hat Pirates' crew, the information was a bit too much.
"An Eternal Pointer pointing to One Piece, such a thing actually exists!!!"
Usopp murmured in a daze, while Nami swallowed hard,
"A shortcut directly to the great secret treasure, and he's said to be the richest man in the world!!!"
At this moment, her eyes turned into money shapes,
Orin's image, in her eyes at this time, even shone with light!!!
But the others clearly focused on different points,
Sanji silently lit a cigarette for himself, Zoro held his sword and lowered his head in silence.
Franky was straightforward,
"His dream is to become absolutely happy and free himself, in other words, how domineering is that!!!"
Chopper also had a heavy little face, thinking of the experience in Alabasta,
"The man who conquered the world, the tragedy in Alabasta, perhaps in his eyes, it's just like a game..."
Perhaps in the future, they would encounter similar things,
But Luffy would still act, because he couldn't ignore his companions suffering or injustice.
To this, Rayleigh could only say he was powerless to help, after all, now he was just a retired old man living off Orin,
The group parted in front of Shakky's bar, Rayleigh went to coat their ship.
While the Straw Hats headed towards the agreed Area 23,
Luffy and the others intended to let the rest wait here, but no one agreed,
They all followed together, even Usopp tremblingly gripped his slingshot, gritting his teeth with snot running, and followed,
"Aren't we partners?!!!"
...
It was also during this time,
Orin had already completed most of the supernova capture plan.
One teleport kick over,
Urouge didn't even have time to perform karma conversion, he felt like his waist was broken, spitting blood and falling to the ground,
"What a joke... what monstrous strength!!!"
This had exceeded the limit he could absorb and convert!!!
With one kick, Orin seemed like he hadn't had time to retract his foot, when a giant dinosaur immediately charged and bit over,
While charging, he also tried his best to seek help,
"Hawkins, as a bounty criminal over 100 million, you submit so easily?!!!"
This kind of provocation originally wouldn't work on Hawkins, but at this time Orin also spoke,
Orin was happy to have more sandbags,
And without truly letting Hawkins feel the gap in strength, he might regret later, not being as headstrong as the other supernovas in resisting.
"...Alright."
Since the words had come to this, Hawkins as a supernova naturally had his own pride, immediately transforming into a huge scarecrow,
Drake's biting charge missed, but the sharp straw transformed by Hawkins seemed to take effect at this moment,
Slicing across Orin's neck, instantly a head flew up.
"This is!!!"
Hawkins himself was stunned in place, not to mention the other captured supernovas and Urouge,
"I... killed Orin?!!!"
Hawkins looked at the straw with no trace of blood on his hand, falling into deep doubt,
Then a jaw-dropping scene appeared.
"As expected, as long as the ability has been developed, even if one becomes young, it's easy to restore to the awakened state..."
Only to see that headless body, at this time holding that head, Orin's head speaking,
And then the head instantly appeared on the neck.
That's right...
In that instant just now, the space between the neck and the head was connected by his ability,
This is the power of the Warp-Warp Fruit awakening!!!
