"Oh?"
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
A Shadowkhan emerged from the shadow of King's Plateaus and reported what it had just learned from the Marines' G-1 branch.
"Kizaru? I see!"
Luke chuckled.
He looked at the people around him and said with a smile: "Three admirals are out, plus two admiral candidates, plus five other Vice-Admirals from the Marine Headquarters, and more than 30,000 elite marines…"
"And a total of more than 80 various big and small warships!"
He really didn't expect it.
The Marines even sent out the injured Kizaru. It can be seen that they are determined to completely eliminate the Netherworld Pirates in Dressrosa.
"Tsk tsk, the Marines really think highly of us!"
Shiryu exclaimed.
If he had heard such a scene in the past, he would definitely turn around and run without hesitation.
But the current Netherworld Pirates may really be qualified to fight against these guys in the Marines.
Moreover, with the ability of his Float-Float Fruit, even if they really can't beat the Marines, they can evacuate calmly at that time; there is no need to worry at all.
Besides, the Marines do not know the true strength of the Netherworld Pirates.
Once the war starts, the true strength of the zombie corps and the Shadowkhan Army alone will be enough for them to drink a pot.
"Shiryu, come with me to Punk Hazard later…"
Luke smiled and said: "I was not planning to retrieve those things so quickly…"
"Since the war is about to start, there is no need to be polite to the World Government!"
At first, he was not planning to over-stimulate the World Government.
But since the Buster Call was launched so quickly, and they were not going to give them time to gain a foothold in the New World, then there is no need to deliberately restrain himself.
"Punk Hazard?"
Shiryu was surprised: "Isn't that the research base of the Marines's scientific forces?"
"Didn't you take Vegapunk and those scientists away? Are we going to take those experimental facilities directly?"
He remembered that Luke had sneaked in there in advance and kidnapped the world's number one genius scientist and a dozen other scientists.
It's all published in the World Economy News.
"Since the location has been exposed, there's no need to hide it anymore. Just move the Punk Hazard here!"
Luke chuckled.
Although in order to avoid any Vivre Cards that were hidden in a corner and could not be easily found, those experimental bases could not be kept directly.
However, the expensive experimental equipment inside, which cost the World Government countless resources and time to build, could be used by him and moved directly to Germa 66.
What's more, there is Wapol, the Munch-Munch Fruit user.
There will be no waste at all.
Swish!
Soon, threads of black shadows surged and directly covered him and Shiryu at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then they sank into the shadows.
… … …
"Beep--beep-"
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Damn… It's Obask Luke and the former Head Jailer of Impel Down!"
"Why did they come here? Didn't Dr. Vegapunk and those scientists get taken away by him?"
"Quick, report to the headquarters and ask for help from the G-5 branch!"
At the Punk Hazard, Luke and Shiryu had no intention of hiding their trace.
Their arrival directly caused great panic.
"Float!"
Shiryu touched the ground with one hand.
Directly activated the ability of the Float-Float Fruit.
Boom!
The sea was surging, and the whole island was shaking violently.
Under the horrified eyes of countless Marines and researchers, Punk Hazard rose directly from the ground.
As if it had lost gravity, it floated in the sky.
Then, it flew directly in the direction of Dressrosa.
Buzz!
Luke's eyes turned stern, and then a flash of red light flashed in his eyes.
The extremely terrifying Conqueror Haki swept out directly.
On the entire island, there were thousands of Marines guards and two or three thousand researchers, government personnel, and even thousands of prisoners who were sent here to serve as experimental subjects…
One by one, their eyes rolled back, and they were directly knocked unconscious one after another.
"Shadow Torrent!"
The next second, Luke activated the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
Clatter!
It's not just the shadows of those living people that got taken away.
On the island, be it rocks, plants, snakes, insects, rats, and ants… endless black shadows surged and gathered into a huge torrent, drowning in all directions and crushing the unconscious Marines and researchers, then piled them all together.
"Damn it…"
"What is this?"
"Ah…"
Even the few Marine officers who were still conscious had nowhere to escape.
Some prisoners who were strong and did not faint at the impact but were handcuffed and unable to escape were also among them.
They were directly crushed mercilessly.
Swish!
One by one, the Shadowkhans rushed out directly from the darkness.
Shadow Capone Bege was also among them; he directly activated his own Castle-Castle Fruit ability and threw out a large number of handcuffs.
These were brought out from the Impel Down.
And those Shadowkhans handcuffed these unconscious prisoners, Marines, and government personnel.
Then, they were locked in the inner castle of Capone Bege's body.
"Luke-sama…"
In Shiryu's surprised eyes, Luke did not enter the experimental bases directly.
Instead, he took him to the huge ice cave.
"Hiss—"
Even though Shiryu claimed to be knowledgeable.
He couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.
Looking at those large and small, countless frozen corpses, chills went straight to his scalp.
"Punk Hazard was originally an experimental base specially established by the World Government to artificially create the ancient giants!"
Looking at the thick ice wall and at those looming, hideous, and huge figures.
Luke crossed his arms and said calmly: "It has been hundreds of years since then, and research has never stopped!"
"For hundreds of years, countless prisoners from the Impel Down, even giants and ancient giants, have been sent here continuously to become experimental subjects…"
"Except for monsters like Kaido, few experimental subjects can leave this experimental base alive… after they die, their bodies will be frozen here!"
Considering that the World Government has been working tirelessly to conduct experiments on human gigantism.
What he should pay attention to here is probably not just the bodies of the giants and ancient giants.
If nothing unexpected happens, such as the bodies of the prisoners in the Impel Down and other experimental subjects, there should be many former strong men and some rare races.
"Tsk tsk, so that's the case…"
Shiryu's eyes lit up: "This is a bargain for us!"
He knew very well how exaggerated the power of Luke's Shadow-Shadow Fruit was.
Here, not counting the corpses of ordinary humans, there are more than a hundred corpses of ordinary giants…
There are even many rare ancient giant corpses.
This is a corpse that is well preserved and frozen here.
There are also countless corpses that are only skeletons or have been destroyed.
It is conceivable that over the long years, the World Government has been crazy in order to obtain the combat power of giants and even ancient giants.
