Chapter 336: The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, But The Oriole Follows Behind
"Put uncle down!"
Although Luffy and Zoro don't know how to use shave (Soru), their speed is not slow at all.
The most important thing is that the members of CP5 are only good at gathering intelligence and conducting spy assassinations, but their real strength is not that strong.
"Damn it!" Kalifa grabbed Iceburg, who was knocked unconscious, and her speed became faster!
"Gomu Gomu no Net!"
Luffy intertwined the fingers of his hands and extended toward Kalifa. On the way, his fingers expanded, forming a big net that fell from the sky and covered Kalifa.
"Ah!"
Kalifa screamed and was covered by the net.
"Well done, Luffy!" Zoro praised.
"Whee..."
Luffy showed his iconic smile, and then he released the big net and rescued the unconscious Iceburg with his right hand.
"Damn it!" Kalifa cursed unwillingly.
"Zoro, let's take uncle back."
Luffy had no intention of beating up Kalifa; his goal was to save Iceburg, while Zoro didn't want to kill a woman.
But just when the two of them were about to leave with Iceburg, a wind blade came from the distance!
"Danger!"
"Careful!"
Luffy and Zoro reacted quickly and ducked aside in an instant.
The sharp wind blade struck the ground and cut a long ravine, leaving both of them with lingering fear.
"Who?"
Luffy grabbed Iceburg with one hand and made a fist with the other hand while looking warily in the direction of the wind blade.
Zoro's muscles were also tense, his blade unsheathed, ready to strike at any time.
"Pap…"
At this moment, in the dark night, three figures of different heights wearing white suits and strange masks on their faces walked out slowly.
"CP9?"
At this time, Kalifa, who was lying on the ground, narrowed her pupils as she spoke coldly.
"...!?"
Luffy and Zoro both didn't know what CP9 meant and looked confused.
The three CP9 members didn't even look at Kalifa but stared straight at Iceburg in Luffy's hand.
The man in the middle, wearing a red mask, said in a cold voice: "Put down Iceburg, and I'll let you live."
"Huh, they are here for Uncle again, I won't leave Uncle to you."
Luffy refused without thinking.
"Wait a minute, Iceburg is our mission target. Your..."
At this time, Kalifa also stood up in embarrassment and yelled at the three of them.
"Shave (Soru)!"
"Shua-"
The red-masked CP9 disappeared and appeared in front of Kalifa the next moment.
"Puch!!"
Before Kalifa finished speaking, a finger mercilessly pierced her throat, leaving her no strength to say the next words.
"Woo woo..."
Kalifa covered her bleeding throat with both hands with confused eyes as she fell down!!
"Don't talk so much nonsense. There is only one reason for mission failure, and that is because you are too weak!"
The red masked CP9 said coldly.
No longer looking at the lifeless Kalifa, he turned to Luffy and said:
"You two troublesome brats, go to hell too!"
"Shua…!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared at the same time!!
"Zoro, catch it!"
At the critical moment, Luffy threw Iceburg out and jumped toward the building next to him.
He used the strength in his legs to turn sideways to avoid being hit by Red-Masked CP9, but another building turned into ruins!
"Finger Gun (Shigan)!"
This Red-Masked CP9 uses the same physical skills as the CP5, but it's obviously much more powerful.
The cold breath tore through the air and stabbed straight into Luffy's heart.
"Pfft!!"
Blood splatters everywhere!!
But instead of stabbing Luffy in the heart, Luffy grabbed it with his hand, and it pierced through his palm.
"You little brat, you still have some strength."
"But with just this little strength, you dare to defy us; you're really stupid."
The Red-Masked CP9 looked down at Luffy coldly.
Luffy's eyes under the straw hat were extremely firm at this time.
Then he slowly raised his head and said coldly:
"I won't let you hurt uncle!! This time, I will protect everyone."
"Zoro, you take uncle and leave first. Leave this place to me."
Zoro glanced at Luffy's straight back and said nothing. Then, he put away his sword, carried the unconscious Iceburg, and ran back without looking back.
"Uh-huh!!"
"Gomu Gomu no War Axe!"
The other two CP9 members wanted to chase Zoro but were stopped by Luffy's extended whip legs.
I have to say that after experiencing the despair on Sky Island and practicing hard for a few days, Luffy's strength has improved a lot.
At the very least, he can now keep up with CP9, who was using Shave (Soru).
"Kill him first!"
The red-masked CP9 said murderously.
"Understood!"
The two of them immediately nodded, accepted the order, and moved towards Luffy.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!!
"Roar-"
A fierce roar sounded in the distance, and the strong sound waves impacted like a tornado, destroying the ground along the way in front of Luffy.
Two unsuspecting CP9s were hit by sound waves at the same time; they screamed and knocked down a building before falling into the rubble.
"What!!"
The leader, the red-masked CP9, made a horrified sound and looked into the darkness.
"Zehahahaha..."
"I didn't expect to meet the World Government lackeys here. It's really unlucky."
With heroic laughter, several figures walked out on the dark street.
The leader is none other than Marshall D. Teach, who has a rough appearance and a burly figure.
"The traitor of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marshall D. Teach!!"
The red-masked CP9 recognized Teach's identity and said coldly: "What do you mean? You want to be the enemy of the World Government?"
"It's you!"
Luffy also obviously recognized Teach, the guy who likes to eat that awful food on Jaya.
"Being an enemy of the World Government?"
"Zehahahaha, I don't have that plan yet." Teach laughed wildly.
"Then stay out of my way..."
"Kill him!"
Before the red-masked CP9 finished speaking, he was interrupted by Teach's evil sneer.
"Shua-"
Kuro, wearing cat claw gloves, appeared quietly in front of the red-masked CP9.
"Puch-"
Ten sharp blades tore open the CP9's chest, causing blood to fly everywhere.
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish a sentence, the red-masked CP9 fell into a pool of blood.
"Zehahaha, now, no one will know what happens here."
Teach sneered sinisterly and then looked at Luffy proudly:
"It's really fate, Straw Hat, we meet again."
"What do you want to do?"
Even Luffy, who was slow, could see that Teach was definitely not trying to help him.
"Zehahaha..."
"Follow me!!"
