Chapter 491: Extremely Strong Observation Skills and the Ability to Adapt to Situations... Isn’t That Just Talking About Me!

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Extremely Strong Observation Skills and the Ability to Adapt to Situations... Isn’t That Just Talking About Me!

"Comrade?"

Meiser showed a surprised expression and said, "You still have comrades out there?"

"Yes."

Kin’emon said seriously, "We are all people who escaped from the Land of Wano."

After speaking, Kin’emon paused for a moment, then continued with a look of emotion, "Originally, I thought about telling you all about my comrades after you finished your business here, but I didn’t expect you to mention Zou first... That is just as well."

This way, he wouldn’t need to specifically discuss the matter of searching for his comrades with them.

Then, Kin’emon thought to himself with some emotion: We really are the same kind of people...

Not only are our goals the same, but even our route is identical. This really is... fate!

"That’s perfect, Kin~" Luffy grinned and laughed, "We can find another comrade~"

"Yes."

"I am truly grateful..."

Kin’emon thanked the members of the Straw Hat Pirates seriously. After all, without the Straw Hat Pirates, he wouldn’t have been able to find his comrades.

"It’s fine, we’re going that way anyway~"

"Hahahaha."

Looking at the large smile on Luffy’s face, a smile also appeared on Kin’emon’s face.

Luffy-dono really is... someone who puts people at ease.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Luffy-dono."

"Right!"

Looking at the two people talking, Meiser also smiled, then looked at Law and said, "So, do you plan to face Doflamingo alone?"

This time, Law did not answer immediately but instead showed a hesitant expression.

"What’s wrong?"

"If I go alone, unexpected things might happen." Law looked up and said, "So I hope you can send two people to assist me."

"Ideally, people with extremely strong observation skills and the ability to adapt to situations."

He wasn’t sure what would happen after he met Doflamingo, so it would be better for the Straw Hat Crew to send two people to act with him.

That way... even if he was chased by Doflamingo and had no time to contact the other side, others could help him make the connection.

"Extremely strong observation skills and the ability to adapt to situations?" Chopper suddenly looked up and said, "Are you talking about me?"

"Obviously not..." Nami complained.

This was clearly talking about Robin!

It was as good as calling her name directly.

As for the other person?

Usopp, in a certain sense, also met Law’s requirements.

As for Meiser?

This guy had expressed his intention to go to Dressrosa to find the factory from the beginning, so he definitely wouldn’t be moving with Law.

"?"

"It’s not me?"

Chopper showed a confused expression. He felt his observation skills and ability to adapt were both quite strong.

After all... he had a brain-enhancing form!

"What do you plan to do?" Nico Robin asked.

"I plan to use Caesar to deal with Doflamingo," Law said seriously. "I will try to stall him as much as possible at Green Bit."

"This will also buy you time to destroy the factory."

Of course, if he could kill Doflamingo there with his own hands, that would be even better.

"So you need some of us there to provide support?"

"Yes."

Law nodded. He indeed needed someone hidden in the shadows to act as backup.

"I understand then," Nico Robin nodded and said. "I will go with you."

"That couldn’t be better."

Law visibly sighed in relief, clearly very satisfied with Robin as a choice.

As for the other person...

Law turned his head to glance at Meiser, but remembering what the other intended to do, he shifted his gaze to Perona.

"Perona-ya, your ability is also quite suitable for concealment and scouting," Law began. "So..."

"No way!"

Perona said without hesitation, "I need to follow this idiot."

As she spoke, Perona pointed at Zoro nearby, then continued, "If I’m not around, this guy won’t just fail to find the factory, he’ll probably get lost halfway there."

Zoro: ??

Wait, what does this have to do with me?

Wait... is Perona calling him an idiot?

"Hey, what do you mean by that?!" Zoro looked at Perona dissatisfiedly and said, "Do you think I have no sense of direction?"

"Don’t you?"

Perona glanced sideways at Zoro, her expression seeming to say: As if I don’t know what you’re capable of?

If it weren’t for me, you would have starved to death in the forest long ago.

Zoro: ...

Reading the meaning in Perona’s eyes, Zoro was directly silenced.

He couldn’t refute it...

"Then let’s switch to someone else," Law said with a bit of a headache.

He really hadn’t expected the other party to refuse him for such a reason... By the way, is Zoro-ya really that bad with directions?

Thinking of this, Law looked at Zoro thoughtfully.

Seeing Zoro still glaring at Perona, Law withdrew his gaze.

"Then who do you plan to have go with me?" Law said.

Although he could go alone, the probability of problems occurring was high, so...

The others didn’t speak, but instead turned their gaze toward Usopp.

As the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates, his observation skills were second only to Meiser’s, so he had to be the one to go.

"Then I’ll go," Usopp sighed.

With things said to this point, what else could he say?

"Oh!"

"Then we’ll leave it to you, Usopp!" Luffy grinned and laughed.

"Leave it to me with confidence."

Usopp gave a thumbs up and said.

That look was as cool as could be.

Three seconds later...

"But you’re sure you can guarantee our safety, right?" Usopp looked at Law and said, "Right?"

Law: ...

Where did the man with the serious face from just now go?

After a moment of silence, Law said, "I cannot 100% guarantee your life’s safety, but I can promise you that I will be the only one facing Doflamingo directly."

Ultimately, he only wanted them to follow along to help him gather information and do certain things at key moments; he didn’t need them to risk their lives against Doflamingo.

After all... these were not his crewmates.

"That’s good then." Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he didn’t need to follow along and risk his life against Doflamingo, everything else was fine.

"In a sense, Usopp’s plants can be very useful," Meiser said.

On this point, even Perona couldn’t compare.

"Plants?"

Law was stunned for a moment. What were those?

"I have all sorts of plant seeds," Usopp said. "These seeds can serve many purposes."

Although Law didn’t know exactly what Usopp was talking about, he still nodded and said, "Fine, I understand."

Usopp was a bit surprised to hear this. Wasn’t the other guy even going to ask?

Forget it, if he doesn’t ask, he doesn’t ask. The other guy would have the chance to see it for himself when the time came anyway.

"Then the rest of us will go to destroy the factory on the island, right?" Luffy said.

"No, that’s not it."

Law shook his head and said, "At the very least, some people must stay to guard the pirate ship."

"Is that necessary?"

Sanji said, "Merry can store the pirate ship away."

There was absolutely no need to leave people to watch the pirate ship.

"I naturally considered Merry-ya’s ability," Law said. "But... we are splitting up this time!"

"So there must be people left at sea to sail the ship, so they can provide timely support to both sides."

In case something unexpected happened, the people left on the ship could timely go to Dressrosa or Green Bit to rescue people.

"Then I’ll stay," Nami said. "I’m not just the navigator; my abilities can also move the pirate ship."

Using clouds to create wind to blow the ship along was something she could do now.

As for lifting the ship directly...

She hadn’t tried such a thing yet. That would be for later.

"All right then, Nami, you just—"

Luffy’s words weren’t finished when he noticed the sky suddenly darken, which caused his words to catch in his throat.

"What’s with this cloud?" Luffy asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Nico Robin looked up at the sky, seeming as if she wanted to see something, but unfortunately, she didn’t possess knowledge in this area and couldn’t tell what the weather would be.

Then, she said somewhat uncertainly, "It should be about to rain."

"No... it’s not rain..."

Nami, who was extremely sensitive to weather changes, keenly felt the atmospheric abnormality. Then she said, "It’s hail!"

As if validating Nami’s words, hail began to fall from the sky, and... the size of these hailstones was getting larger and larger!

"No, we have to leave here immediately!" Nami shouted. "Merry, pull in the sails!"

"At the same time, prepare the Coup de Burst!"

"Right!"

Receiving the command, Merry didn’t waste any words and immediately began operating as Nami had said.

"It’s just ice, is there a need to be so exaggerated?" Kin’emon asked in confusion.

"The hail in the New World is very exaggerated," Usopp explained. "So we must break out early."

Otherwise, they would very likely be crushed to death by the hail!

Then, Usopp showed a confused look. Wasn’t this guy someone who had come out of the Land of Wano in the New World?

Why didn’t he understand the weather in the New World?

"Nami, which direction?" Merry shouted.

Using her ability to fly into the air, Nami held binoculars and looked at the distant clouds, saying, "Full port helm!"

"Nine o’clock direction, Coup de Burst!"

"Understood!"

Knowing the specific direction, Merry no longer wasted time. She immediately steered the pirate ship to change direction, then launched the Coup de Burst without hesitation.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, the Thousand Sunny took to the air, rapidly rushing toward the direction of the sunny sky in the distance.

"Hahahaha~" Luffy laughed loudly, "This is so fun~"

"Go, Thousand Sunny!"

Looking at Luffy who was still laughing loudly, Law just grabbed the nearby railing, and a thought surfaced in his mind once again.

The Straw Hat Pirates’ ship... what is going on with it?!

How can it even fly, hey!

"Everyone, hold on tight!"

"Oh!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Marines here at Punk Hazard were still sitting in their previous positions, silently waiting for the arrival of their Vice Admiral.

"I wonder where the Vice Admiral has reached," a Marine from the G-5 Branch said.

"He should be arriving soon," another person said. "Didn’t the Lieutenant Colonel say before leaving that Vice Admiral Smoker had already reached the nearby sea area?"

With Vice Admiral Smoker’s speed, he should be here very soon.

"Then we wait."

A man nodded, then turned to look at the two bodies with severed heads, saying, "Their heads were cut off by Law’s ability, right?"

"Yes."

"Are they pirates too?"

"Should we capture them?"

"This..."

The Marine who heard his companion’s words showed a hesitant expression. Capture them?

But they didn’t even know if these two guys were pirates.

"Forget it, we’ll talk about it after Vice Admiral Smoker arrives," another person shook his head and said.

"I guess that’s all we can do."

Just at this time, a figure appeared in the distant sky, which immediately caught their attention.

"What is that thing?"

"It looks like a... person?"

"Oh no, he’s coming for us!"

Even as they shouted, Doflamingo’s figure had already appeared overhead. Then he threw out the heads of the two subordinates in his hands, and they landed precisely on their respective bodies.

Then, Doflamingo stepped onto threads invisible to the naked eye, walking down from the air step by step like a king.

That appearance, in the eyes of the Marines, looked like he was walking down on thin air, full of oppressive force!

"Do... Doflamingo?!"

"Why would a member of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea come here?"

Looking at the man who was like a king, the eyes of these Marines were full of horror.

Could this guy be here to cause trouble for them, the Marines?

"Could it be that the two guys who were just cut by Law are this man’s subordinates?" a Marine frowned.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others immediately became vigilant.

If it really was like that... then this man might be here to cause trouble for them!

"So they really aren’t here anymore..."

Looking at everyone’s appearance, veins immediately popped out on Doflamingo’s face, clearly he was quite enraged.

"Hey, Doflamingo!"

A Marine summoned his courage and shouted, "Why have you appeared here?"

"What is your purpose?"

"Dead men aren’t qualified to know too much," Doflamingo sneered.

These guys might know something they shouldn’t, so... better just kill them all!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo intended to kill all these guys.

But just as he was about to act, he heard a strange sound.

That sound was like... something was rushing over.

Sensing something was wrong, Doflamingo subconsciously turned his head to look at the sea behind him, and then he saw a mass of white smoke rushing over from the sea at an extremely exaggerated speed!

"Doflamingo!"

Smoker, having reached the shore, looked at Doflamingo expressionlessly and said, "What do you plan to do to my subordinates?"

"Vi... Vice Admiral Smoker!!"
