At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

Chapter 552 Luffy's Rejection

When the Knights of God descended, Sauro, the representative of the Giants' peace faction

Led by Robin, Chopper and Jinbei, they hurried to the location of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Along the way, Sauro felt complicated and heavy. He knew that the situation in Elbaf was already precarious.

And the Straw Hat Pirates may be their last hope.

However, when they arrived, the scene before them stunned everyone.

"This...what happened!" Jinbei's eyes widened, with shock that was hard to conceal in his voice.

His eyes swept over the Straw Hat Pirates members lying on the ground, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, these usually energetic companions, are now covered in wounds and breathing weakly.

Their bodies were covered with traces of battle, and it was obvious that they had experienced a fierce battle.

"What on earth happened?" Chopper's voice was filled with anxiety.

He quickly walked to Luffy's side, squatted down, and carefully checked his injuries.

"Oh! Robin, Chopper!" Luffy raised his head with difficulty, still with that iconic smile on his face, but there was a hint of fatigue in his smile.

He waved his hand as a greeting.

As the ship's doctor, Chopper immediately rushed forward and began to treat his companions' wounds. His movements were quick and skillful, but his eyes were full of worry.

"Luffy, who are you fighting?" Sauro looked at the scene and finally reacted, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"Monster...a monster that is impossible to defeat." Nami lowered her head, her voice low and weak.

She held the Tianhou stick tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

As the most rational member of the Straw Hat Pirates, she knew very well what kind of people were those guys who besieged the Holy Lord at that time.

However, even so, they were beaten badly and almost lost their lives.

"Monster?" Sauro frowned, obviously not fully understanding what Nami said.

"Yeah, it's a monster." Luffy rarely spoke in a serious tone, nodded, and confirmed what Nami said.

At the same time, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was still frightened by the battle.

Sauro's frown deepened.

He had never seen Luffy look so serious, and it made him realize that things were far more serious than they thought.

"I'm glad everyone is okay." Sauro took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He knew that now was not the time to ask about the details; what was more important was the next plan.

He walked in front of Luffy, sat down slowly, and glanced at the members of the Straw Hat Pirates. There was a hint of heaviness in his tone.

"Luffy, I have something important to tell you."

Luffy looked up, his eyes full of confusion: "What's going on?"

Sauro was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: “Aruru, the elder of the giants, has decided to entrust the fate of Elbaf to the Tren Adventure Group.

He believes that Thrun is the only hope for saving Elbaf."

"The Coffin Man's Adventure Group?" Luffy frowned slightly.

Sauro nodded and continued, “Not only that, we discovered a mural deep within Elbaf.

The content of the mural symbolizes the 'Prophecy of Liberation', and the key figure in the prophecy is you, Luffy."

"Me?" Luffy was stunned for a moment, obviously not fully understanding what Sauro said.

"That's right." Sauro's tone was firm.

“The content of the mural shows that the successor of the sun god Nika will lead Elbaf to liberation.

And your existence is the confirmation of this prophecy."

Luffy scratched his head, clearly confused by the title "Sun God Nika".

But he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded: "So, what do we need to do?"

A hint of relief flashed in Sauro's eyes.

He knew that although Luffy looked careless, he never backed down at critical moments.

"We need your strength, Luffy." There was a hint of earnestness in Sauro's voice.

"The fate of Elbaf now rests in our hands.

The Giant Warrior was taken away and Loki was freed

We need you to lead us to recapture the Titans and protect Elbaf."

Luffy was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere around him seemed to freeze with his silence.

Finally, he slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then suddenly grinned.

That familiar and contagious signature smile instantly bloomed

"Okay! In that case, let's go all out and have a good time!"

However, just as Sauro opened his mouth to respond, in less than a second, a deafening roar suddenly came.

"No!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nami suddenly standing up.

Her face was frighteningly gloomy, and her eyes were fixed on Sauro, revealing undisguised anger and determination.

"Nami..." Luffy looked at Nami in front of him with some astonishment, and did not react for a while.

Nami, who is always full of energy and wit on weekdays, seems like a different person at this moment, which makes Luffy feel strange and distressed.

"Luffy, I absolutely cannot agree to this time."

Nami's voice was trembling, but she still tried to control her emotions and continued

"Do you understand what he wants us to face?

Luffy, you may be stupid sometimes, but we are not stupid. He wants us to challenge the Terun Adventure Group!! "

When Nami said the name "Tren Adventure Group", everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Except for Luffy, everyone else lowered their heads subconsciously. Even Sanji and Zoro, who were usually fearless, had serious looks on their faces.

Because they knew very well that with their current strength, they had almost no chance of winning a head-on confrontation with the Tren Adventure Group.

"We're going to die! Everyone really...is going to die, Luffy." Tears welled up in Nami's eyes and her tone became more and more excited, until she even choked up in the end.

Looking at his partner, Luffy pursed his lips and finally lowered his straw hat without looking at Sauro.

"I'm sorry! I can't help you."

Hearing Luffy's refusal, Sauro was stunned and sighed slightly.

"Luffy, this is your mission, you can't refuse it."

"Really?" Luffy smiled slightly, "But I know my friends won't deceive me with such things."
