CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 292: THE REAL CONSPIRACY!

Chapter 292: The Real Conspiracy!

"I wasn’t late, was I?"

Ace smiled and landed on the ground.

Following him.

Marco, Jozu, Yamato, and several other commanders descended from above one after another.

Luffy’s eyes lit up. "Ace!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates..."

Ryokugyu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred. He looked down at Reiner and Luffy. "And the Straw Hat crew!"

No wonder the higher-ups suddenly changed their minds before the finals, secretly changing the plan from seizing the Float-Float Fruit to having CP0 make a deal with the Donquixote Family.

Does this mean they’re cooperating to wipe out both pirate crews? A faint guess arose in Ryokugyu’s mind.

Rumble!!

A violent commotion was accompanied by the shaking of the earth.

The earth and walls continuously wriggled, and the surrounding buildings twisted and converged, finally forming a giant head that looked down on the scene below.

One of the top cadres, representing ’Spades’, the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit, [Pica].

Another person stood out, tall and sturdy, wearing a white checkered coat, with what seemed to be some food residue still on his cheek.

The first-generation Heart top cadre, [Vergo of the Demon Bamboo]!

Vergo held a section of a bamboo staff and, with a host of ferocious-looking cadres behind him, stepped out, faintly forming an encirclement around Reiner and Luffy.

Besides Sugar, who had remained in the royal palace, Trebol, who was responsible for protecting her, and Monet, who was guarding the factory, almost all the cadres were here.

Reiner could vaguely recognize some of the people inside.

The spiky-haired man in the windbreaker, the Pop-Pop Fruit user Gladius; the Arms-Arms Fruit user Baby-5; and the Ton-Ton Fruit user Machvise were all among them.

Without exception, the gazes they directed at Reiner were filled with hatred, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

"Hey, Luffy, what’s the situation now?"

Several figures jumped down from the spectator stands. Sanji, with Franky and the others, came to Reiner’s side.

"The other party is here to get revenge on us. The Doflamingo who died at the summit two years ago was their leader," Reiner said lightly.

He hadn’t explained the situation in Dressrosa to Sanji and the others yet because there were no missions to assign them. Just staying here and waiting to join the fight was enough.

Franky squeezed his fists and grinned. "Since they’re enemies, let’s just get started!"

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. Both sides were restless.

After a silence of no more than a few breaths, Weevil was the first to break the quiet.

"You unforgivable bastard!"

"Go to hell!"

Weevil, holding his bisento, charged at Reiner like a wild bull.

The moment he moved, all the cadres of the Donquixote Family also erupted.

Among them, Pica was the first to attack, the giant rock head opening its massive mouth and biting down.

"Ishigami!!" (Stone Bite!!)

"Isn’t that a bit too big?"

Franky’s expression was grave. He bent his knees and jumped directly, extending his two palms and stacking them towards the giant rock, his arms bulging a circle.

"Coup de Vent!!"

After two years of upgrades, the Coup de Vent’s power could now be freely adjusted. The situation of being drained after two shots would no longer occur.

Bang!!

A violent stream of air shot out from the small hole in Franky’s palm, solidly smashing into the rock head and blasting out countless flying stones.

"Soru!"

Swish!

Vergo, dragging his pitch-black bamboo staff, instantly disappeared from his spot.

Sanji lowered his head, lit his cigarette, took a drag, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he slightly squatted down, his legs pushing off with mighty force!

Bang!

The ground was shattered by the stomp. His figure appeared in another place in the blink of an eye, forcing Vergo to a stop.

"Diable Jambe!"

Sanji put his hands in his pockets, raised his burning red right foot, and with a twist of his waist, delivered a high whip kick towards the other’s head!

"Jenga Hoof!!"

"Tekkai!"

Bang!!

Vergo timely surged the blood throughout his body, hardening his muscles to take a blow head-on. The heavy force sent his entire person flying out.

He did a few flips in the air, landed, and stabbed the bamboo staff into the ground with both hands, plowing a trench dozens of meters long before he barely managed to stop.

He tilted his neck and slowly stood up. It was obvious that his bones were already dislocated.

"What a heavy kick."

Crack!

He supported his head with his hand and, with a forceful twist, reset the bone. Vergo’s expression was wary.

He had used Armament Haki while in Tekkai, yet his bone was almost broken by one kick...

Rip—!

Vergo took off his coat, tore off his shirt to reveal a body of solid muscle, and Armament Haki as black as flowing fire coiled around his entire body and the bamboo staff.

Seeing him covered in defense, Sanji couldn’t help but think of Jozu, whom he had faced on Raijin Island.

"Compared to that guy, this level is still far from enough!"

Sanji strode forward and launched a spinning flying kick.

Bang!

Vergo leaped high into the air to dodge. A giant rock behind him was shattered by a single kick.

"Moonwalk!"

Puff! Puff! Puff!

His feet continuously stepped on the air, creating dull sounds. He used Moonwalk to accelerate and dive towards Sanji.

At the same time, the bamboo staff in his hand spun at high speed, and using the accumulated centrifugal force combined with Haki, he chopped down with mighty force!

"Oni Take!!" (Demon Bamboo!!)

"Diable Jambe: Mouton Shoot!!"

Bang!!

Sanji’s straight-raised leg struck the bamboo staff. A powerful impact mixed with a scorching heatwave erupted from the two of them as the center.

"Straw Hat’s head is mine for the taking, iin!"

The fat man floating in the air, Machvise, changed his own weight to an exaggerated thousand tons, his entire body whistling as it descended from the sky to smash down on Luffy!

"Destructive 1,000-Ton Vise!!"

"Whoa!"

Luffy looked up and pressed down his straw hat, his eyes lighting up. "Since you’ve delivered yourself to my door, I won’t be polite!"

He then squatted down on the spot, and then, facing the other, he forcefully jumped into the air. His stretched arms twisted into a rope, and he coiled Armament Haki around them, rotating and retracting!

"Gomu Gomu no... Spiral Bullet!!"

"Idiot!"

Machvise grinned proudly, holding a thick round shield below him.

Bang!!

The high-speed rotating heavy punch shattered the shield. However, before Luffy could be pleased, the force transmitted from his fist instantly shocked him.

"So heavy?!"

"Hahaha! I am a Super Weight Man who ate the Ton-Ton Fruit! Feel the power of a thousand tons of pressure!!"

Machvise laughed loudly, wrapped his arms tightly around Luffy, and took him down from mid-air at high speed.

Boom!!

The exaggerated weight smashed into the ground, instantly causing the earth to shake and kicking up a rolling cloud of smoke and dust!

However, Machvise could clearly feel Luffy struggling underneath him, showing no signs of injury at all.

He, on the other hand, was spitting blood from his mouth and nose from the huge reactive force.

This was the fatal weakness of the Ton-Ton Fruit. Increasing one’s weight did not increase one’s defense. He would also suffer the damage of the reactive force.

"Get up, you stinky fatso!"

"What’s going on! Why are you completely fine!"

Machvise gritted his teeth in anger, making his body light and rising into the air again.

Luffy did a kip-up and jumped up, looked up, and said righteously, "Because I’m rubber! Rubber can’t be crushed!"

"Switch with me, Machvise!"

Gladius shouted at him after forcing Chopper back with an explosion.

Machvise was unwilling, but knowing he couldn’t harm Luffy, he decisively changed his target and floated towards Chopper.

Gladius’s feet exploded, sending him up into the air. He quickly scanned the field below.

Ace was fighting Ryokugyu, while Weevil was fighting Reiner.

The rest of the Straw Hat crew, along with the several commanders led by Marco, were beating a host of cadres into a steady retreat with a huge advantage.

Although there were a large number of soldiers, they were completely unable to stop the other’s offensive.

"Damn it! If only the Tremor-Tremor Fruit hadn’t been snatched! What the hell is that stinky woman Bakkin doing!"

Veins popped on Gladius’s forehead. "Didn’t she say she had secretly reached a cooperation with the World Government?! Where are the reinforcements! Why haven’t Kaido’s people appeared either!!"

If this goes on, never mind avenging the young master, the entire Donquixote Family will be wiped out here!

Thinking of this, Gladius’s heart trembled. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a terrifying thought that made his scalp tingle appeared in his mind.

Could it be...!

In the royal palace, in a certain dark room.

Miss Bakkin had a sinister smile on her face as she watched everything happening in the Corrida Colosseum through a Visual Den Den Mushi.

Gladius’s sudden guess was not wrong. From the very beginning, the Donquixote Family was her disposable pawn.

Or rather.

They were also one of the bargaining chips the World Government wanted.

"As long as I take over this huge arms business, the World Government will have almost all of the underworld’s industries under its control."

Thinking of the reward CP0 had promised her, a fanatical look couldn’t help but flash in Bakkin’s eyes.

At that time, she would also be backed by the World Government and become one of the new emperors of the underworld!

"The Queen of the Underworld! This is much more profitable than cooperating with Kaido! Chyahahaha!!"
