Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Then let's give it a try!" Kuro said firmly, with a resolute tone in his words.

Then, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and pinched the poor Den Den Mushi hard, killing it instantly. At this moment, the red-haired man on the other end of the line was holding the dead Den Den Mushi, with a look of sadness and helplessness on his face.

Seeing this, Beckman, who was standing next to the red-haired man, silently took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep puff. Then, he slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth, forming a cloud of white smoke that lingered in the air.

"I told you a long time ago that guy won't listen to advice." Beckman said calmly, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Hearing this, the red-haired man couldn't help but rub his cheeks in distress, as if trying to relieve the frustration in his heart.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that even Whitebeard would be so resolute." The red-haired man sighed and continued, "After all, Bloody Blade once did a favor to the Whitebeard Pirates. Now that Bloody Blade is in trouble, given Whitebeard's character, he will definitely not stand idly by."

At this point, the red-haired man's brows furrowed even tighter, as if they could pinch a fly to death.

"Oh, this is really a big trouble. You know, these two are powerful warriors standing above the sea. If they both disappear suddenly, I can't imagine what kind of chaos this vast ocean will fall into..." The red-haired man said, shaking his head and sighing.

"Notify them to sail. This operation must race against time and we must successfully reach the destination before the fierce battle begins." The red-haired man said in a firm tone.

"Okay, I'll go and convey your instructions." Beckman responded readily, then turned around and left quickly.

The red-haired man stood quietly at the bow, staring at the turbulent and rolling waves. His weather-beaten face showed a very complicated expression. The Pluto Rayleigh was in the same state. The legendary figure who once dominated the world also frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Recently, a series of earth-shaking events have occurred one after another, but what is regrettable is that in this turbulent era, the person the captain has been waiting for is not you." Rayleigh slowly closed the newspaper in his hand, his deep and experienced eyes flashing with a complex and incomprehensible light, and then he sighed helplessly.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the lush forest in the distance!

"boom!"

In an instant, a thick black smoke rose straight into the sky like a giant black dragon. At the same time, countless frightened birds and beasts ran away in all directions like frightened birds.

"Gear Third!" Along with Luffy's familiar and high-pitched shout, the next moment, an extremely huge foot suddenly appeared like a small hill, and stomped down fiercely with the force of thunder!

"Boom!" Another loud bang was heard between heaven and earth. The originally lush and prosperous forest below was instantly razed to the ground by this terrifying force. The entire island began to tremble violently due to the violent impact, making bursts of dull rumbling sounds.

However, this astonishing power did not last long. After just a blink of an eye, the huge foot quickly shrank like a deflated ball and soon returned to its normal size.

Luffy stood there majestically, his eyes fixed on the armored rhino that had fallen to the ground and been defeated by him. At this moment, his face was filled with a confident and bright smile, as if the sun became particularly dazzling because of this smile.

"Hahaha, I won!" Luffy could no longer suppress his inner joy and excitement. He couldn't help but laugh out loud towards the sky, and finally let out a shout of victory that resounded through the sky.

However, after this fierce battle, Luffy also felt a little tired. He let out a long breath, and then sat down on the ground like a deflated ball. At this moment, a figure slowly walked over from a distance. Looking closely, it turned out to be Rayleigh.
