[Buggy the Clown: You bastards! How dare you treat this great大爷 like this!]
[Empress Boa Hancock: Hmph! No matter what I do, I will be forgiven... because I'm just too beautiful!]
[Pirate 1: Empress! Damn it! I'm so jealous of that Buggy the Clown! To be stepped on by the Empress... I want the Empress to step on me too!]
[Pirate 2: If I could be wantonly trampled by the Empress... it would feel amazing~]
[Boa Sandersonia: Shut up, you perverts! Stay away from Sister!]
[Boa Marigold: Why is Sister so obsessed with that Straw Hat kid? What did he even do?]
Besides Boa Marigold, many others shared this confusion. But the reason remained unknown to them.
Meanwhile, the celestial screen continued playing the subsequent developments.
〖Because of Buggy and his group's intrusion, Smoker grew even more furious.
"You guys, stop getting in the way! We're almost out of time!"
At this, Law sighed and said leisurely, "Everyone, I have a way to drag Bullet out of that giant thing."
The moment he finished, Buggy became very excited and grabbed Law by the collar.
"You idiot! The reason we want to escape is to avoid a direct confrontation with that guy! Are you trying to get us killed? You fool!"
However, clearly, aside from Buggy, no one else present wanted to escape.
Therefore, Smoker directly used his Seastone Jitte to render Buggy powerless, then signaled for Law to continue.
So Law calmly continued,
"We only have one chance. As you saw, a single strike from Bullet can even split the entire island. So if we fail, we'll die immediately."
Hearing this, Smoker impulsively retorted,
"You're not suggesting I risk my life for those pirates, are you? Absolutely impossible!"
"But right now, we have no other choice."
Before Smoker could rebut Law's words, a familiar shout suddenly reached their ears.
Everyone looked. The Empress covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed excitedly,
"Luffy!"〗
[Boa Sandersonia: Sister is acting unlike herself again. Straw Hat Luffy's charm is truly unfathomable.]
[Gecko Moria: That rubber ball... isn't that Straw Hat's Gear Fourth form?]
[Firetank Pirates Captain Capone Bege: No mistake. Although it's not very clear, that is indeed Straw Hat's Snakeman form.]
[Big Eater Jewelry Bonney: Strange. Wasn't that guy severely injured like the rest of us? How can he be conscious again?]
[Heart Pirates Captain Trafalgar Law: Straw Hat-ya's physique is indeed extraordinary. To think he could get back up so quickly.]
[Eustass Kid: Maybe it's that tanuki's merit. If I had a doctor by my side, I could definitely fight again too.]
[Former Navy Rear Admiral X. Drake: But even if Straw Hat fully recovers, he's no match for Bullet, let alone a Straw Hat in the video who hasn't fully recovered yet.]
[Mad Monk Urouge: True. Straw Hat couldn't beat the previous Bullet. Now facing an even stronger steel Bullet, it's even more impossible for him to win.]
What happened next in the video indeed matched everyone's expectations.
〖Although Gear Fourth Luffy seemed to have revived at full health, he was easily swatted away by the super-sized Bullet, landing right in front of Sabo and the others.
Seeing Luffy suddenly appear, Smoker said somewhat irritably,
"Straw Hat, what are you doing here?"
Sabo, however, laughed heartily, very happy to see Luffy here.
As for the Empress, she directly ran up to Luffy, her face full of concern as she asked if he was okay.
"Luffy, I missed you so much! Are you hurt?"
Hearing the Empress's question, Luffy replied with a calm expression,
"Oh, Hancock, it's you. Long time no see. Have you been well lately?"
Although Luffy's tone was very calm, to the Empress, it sounded like the most moving love confession in the world.
She shyly covered her mouth, her whole being seemingly floating in pink bubbles.
"Luffy... you're more worried about my condition than your own body? I have no regrets now." 〗
[Pirate 1: AAAAAH! No matter how many times I see it, I can't accept it! That's the Pirate Empress!]
[Pirate 2: Why is this happening? She's the aloof, Most Beautiful Woman in the World! Why is she acting like such a lovestruck maiden? That's completely the look of someone head over heels in love!]
[Pirate 3: Waaaah! My Empress! I simply cannot accept this! Damn you, Straw Hat! I challenge you to a duel!]
[Straw Hat Luffy: A duel? Alright! Bring it on!]
[Cat Burglar Nami: Shut up, Luffy! That's not what they mean!]
[Straw Hat Luffy: Huh? They said duel, right?]
[Black Leg Sanji: Before that, someone save me! Damn it! Why does Luffy get the favor of such a beauty, while I have to face such a situation? It's so unfair...]
[Great God Usopp: Sanji really ran into some bad trouble, huh.]
[Chopper the Glutton: Oh, yeah, really bad.]
[Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro: Hahaha, ero-cook! What happened to you? Why not say it out loud so I can have a good laugh?]
[Black Leg Sanji: Shut up, you marimo bastard! You looking for a fight?]
[Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro: Bring it! You think I'm scared?]
[Pirate 4: The Straw Hat crew's relationship doesn't seem that great either.]
[Pirate 5: More than that, I really want to know how Straw Hat met the Empress and even won her affection. If I copy Straw Hat's methods first, do you think I could also win the Empress's admiration?]
[Pirate 6: Go wash up and sleep. You can dream about anything.]
[Pirate 7: Never mind that! Look! Straw Hat and the others are preparing to join forces against Bullet!]
Everyone looked.
In the video, after exchanging pleasantries, Luffy and the others were indeed preparing to make a move against Bullet.
