Chapter 117: Broken Arm
Throw Luffy at Karp.
Such a frenzied operation stunned Nami and the others in the barrier.
They didn't even have time to see Luffy's fate before the spherical barrier led them to the location where the vast majority of the Whitebeard Pirates were located.
Karp was also stunned, staring at Luffy who flew straight over with wide eyes.
If you are a grandfather, you should catch Luffy steadily.
If you are a naval hero, don't say anything, and teach Luffy to be a man with an iron fist.
In the end, Karp only has less than a second to react.
But after all, it's an old fritter.
Karp reacted quickly, and then simply punched Luffy in the face.
Boom!
Luffy's face was suddenly hit hard, and the whole person sank to the ground with a bang, shaking up a cloud of smoke and dust.
The effect of this punch seems to be outstanding, but it actually did not cause substantial damage to Luffy at all.
Because when Karp hit this punch, not only did he not use the armed color, but he didn't even use half of his strength.
Restricted by family affection, he clearly wants to release water, but he has to make a show no matter what.
It's just that the attention of the surrounding navies was on Maude and them, and they didn't see Karp's punch that hammered Luffy into the ground.
But Sengoku and Tsuru saw it.
ββ¦β¦β
Several black lines hung down from Sengoku's forehead.
Karp, who was hammered down by Luffy twice, even if he had the opportunity to hammer Luffy back, the final result would definitely be to release water.
Sengoku is completely dead to Karp.
Can't count on Karp's combat power, so he can only silently exclude Karp.
Sengoku turned to look at Maude, who was surrounded by many subordinates.
"Send those pirates out even if you're in danger...... What the hell are you fighting for, Bacardi. Hammond. β
When the ball barrier falls in the midst of the many combat forces of the Whitebeard Pirates, it means that it will not be so easy for the navy to eradicate Nico Robin here.
Inside the battlefield.
The surrounding navy stared at Maude, and Maude looked at Karp who hammered Luffy into the ground, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Of course, he also saw Cap's mediocre punch that didn't cover the armament color.
"If this punch just now was used with the weapon color, even if Luffy the Straw Hat didn't die, he would lose his combat effectiveness on the spot, but Karp, you kept your hand."
Maud squinted at Karp.
The words he just finished saying were like instructions, and Luffy got up from the pit very cooperatively.
"Grandpa!"
When Luffy got up, he reflexively yelled at Karp.
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Luffy call his grandfather in front of so many navies nearby, Karp's cheeks couldn't help but tremble several times.
Others are cheating on their father, but Luffy is cheating on him.
"Haha."
Seeing Luffy so cooperative, Maude was amused and made up for it seriously.
"Even if you are a legendary hero of the navy, you can't pass the 'grandson' level."
Saying that, Maude deliberately raised his voice and said-for-tat: "Since you can't even deal with a pirate who makes a big fuss about the execution table, let's quit honestly." β
The deliberately raised volume ensured that what was said could drown out all kinds of noise and reach the ears of the surrounding navies.
"Lieutenant General Karp......"
There are still quite a few navies present who don't know Luffy's identity.
They were somewhat shaken by Maude's words.
If it weren't for Sabo's situation, Maude would have added some surprise and revealed Luffy's identity as the son of the leader of the revolutionary army, Dragon.
It's just that Karp is the type who doesn't pay attention to fame and doesn't care about other people's eyes.
This would hear Maude's words, unaffected, just frowning and looking at Maude with ulterior motives.
He realized that Maude threw Luffy over just to use Luffy to restrain him.
If you subdue Luffy here......
Unless Ace and Sabo can recapture Luffy, otherwise, there is no doubt that the two of them will fight to the death.
In the end, he will only be wiped out by the Navy along with Luffy.
At this moment, Karp was once again in a dilemma.
Is it to stick to the position to kill relatives in righteousness, or to give up the duty and position to keep the hand?
"If you get knocked down by Luffy here......"
The thought crossed Karp's mind inexplicably.
After all, he still preferred to keep his hands, not wanting to see his two grandsons die here.
It's just that if you want to pretend to be knocked down by Luffy, it means that he has to lie on the ground honestly.
In other words, until Luffy and Ace escape, he can't go to fight Morder openly.
Maybe Maude thought of this, so he threw Luffy over so simply.
In just a second or two, Karp's mind was spinning.
When he was undecided, he had always solved it directly with his fists, and he never thought that one day he would face such a dilemma.
"......Shh
Karp clenched his fists hard and made a decision in obedience.
In full view of everyone, he raised his arms and punched Luffy in a gesture.
"Grandpa......"
Luffy is usually quite naΓ―ve, but he can still discern the situation at critical moments.
If he is subdued by Karp here, it will only drag Ace and Sabo back.
"No matter what, I'm going to get out of here with Ace Sabo!!"
Luffy's gaze was full of determination, and he jumped to his feet, avoiding Karp's fist.
"Jet pistol!"
Luffy, who was in the air, swung his fist emitting hot white smoke and slammed it into Karp's cheek.
Boom!
Karp was hit in the cheek and fell to the ground with his body jerking to the side.
With great force, it shattered the few remaining stone slabs under Karp's body.
"That's fine......"
Karp thought silently to himself.
His mind was all on the road behind Luffy and Ace, and he didn't notice that there was a small black dot hidden between Luffy's fingers.
And this small black dot is the shadow mark that Maude quietly left behind while tying Luffy with his shadow tentacles.
At the moment when Luffy withdrew his outstretched fist.
Swish!
Maud swapped places with the Shadow Mark, and suddenly appeared beside Karp.
At this point,
Karp was in a position of falling to the ground, unaware that Maud would teleport to his side.
When he sensed the danger, Maud slashed at him with a sword.
The sword flashed away.
Laugh at!
Blood gushed out, and an arm flew into the sky.
Karp rolled violently several times, leaving a large trail of blood along the ground, and then quickly half-crouched to his feet, his eyes awe-inspiring at Maude, who maintained the movement of swinging the knife.
On his left shoulder, blood was pouring down.
"It's worthy of being a 'legendary' figure from the previous era, and in this situation just now, it can still minimize the damage."
Maud looked calm, raised his left hand, and caught Karp's severed arm falling from the sky.
It's a shame that I didn't grasp the perfect time to kill Karp.
"Careless......"
Karp's brow furrowed, and a few beads of sweat slid down his face.
Patronized to consider Luffy and Ace's back path, but was exploited by Maude.
"Grandpa!"
"Lieutenant General Karp......"
"Karp!"
Seeing Karp cut off his arm by Maude, Luffy and even the navy led by Sengoku were shocked.
