SEC Chapter 60 Luffy at His Peak!
Chapter 60 Luffy at His Peak!
Marco's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his dry throat feeling like it was stuffed with sand, unable to squeeze out a single word.
He stared intently at Chen Ye, his eyes almost overflowing with horror.
Straw Hat Luffy... defeated Kaido?
Each of those seven words was like a massive hammer weighing a thousand pounds, smashing into his mind and shattering his remaining rationality.
That's Kaido!
The strongest creature on land, sea, and air to reign supreme in the new world!
It's a monster that even their father, Whitebeard, had to use the full strength of the entire group to fight against!
Straw Hat Boy… in his memory, he was just a reckless young man with some potential, who was fearless and reckless, but actually…
Seeing Marco's almost soul-stirring state, Chen Ye simply patted him on the shoulder calmly.
"I already said that."
His voice was soft, yet carried a sense of certainty that came naturally.
"The Straw Hat Phantom in his prime will not disappoint you."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, pulling Marco back from his extreme shock a little.
He was panting heavily as he looked around at the battlefield ruins that looked as if they had been plowed by a god, and finally began to accept this fact that overturned his understanding.
"Alright, we don't have much time left to catch up."
Chen Ye withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to a pile of rubble that looked like a small mountain not far away.
"It's time to wake up our protagonist."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly.
An invisible wave, neither the oppressive aura of Conqueror's Haki nor the probing of Observation Haki, but a more subtle and gentle ripple of spirit, spread silently from him.
It was like a gentle feather, precisely brushing across the depths of that ruin, softly knocking on a door of dormant consciousness.
Boom!
Almost the instant the wave hit, the pile of rubble exploded!
Amidst the flying debris, a figure covered in bandages and riddled with wounds sprang up like a spring and landed steadily on the ground.
His black hair was disheveled, and he was surrounded by a faint steam. His signature large eyes were now filled with a wild, wary vigilance.
It was Monkey D. Luffy who had just finished a fierce battle, exhausted all his physical and mental strength, and fallen into a deep sleep.
Luffy's gaze immediately locked onto Chenye and Marco.
His breathing was heavy, his chest heaving violently, clearly indicating that his body was still extremely exhausted, but the fighting spirit that emanated from his very bones had not diminished in the slightest.
Of course he knew Marco, the phoenix of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But the Marco before him, in his expression, temperament, and even the sense of vicissitude in his eyes, was subtly different from the person he remembered.
What's more, there was a completely unfamiliar man standing next to him, whose aura was unfathomable.
"you……"
Luffy's voice was a little hoarse. He clenched his fists, lowered his body slightly, and assumed a posture ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Who is it?"
Marco stared at Luffy, who exuded an overwhelming aura of power, and was momentarily dazed.
Is this really the same boy who used to make a huge fuss over food while recuperating on Amazon Lily?
That aura...that gaze...
He really did it.
Chen Ye stepped forward, about to explain his purpose.
However, just a moment before he opened his mouth...
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"warn!"
"An extra-specific aura, not belonging to the target unit, has been detected!"
"Locate the coordinates: Southeast direction, 37 meters, below the pile of grass and rubble!"
Chen Ye swallowed back the words he was about to say.
His movements paused for a moment.
His facial expression didn't change much, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Is there a fourth person?
His Observation Haki, which had already covered the entire area, failed to detect the other party's presence immediately!
This shows that the other party's concealment skills have reached an unbelievable level.
It may even have transcended mere skill and reached a state of "nothingness".
Marco and Luffy both noticed Chenye's unusual behavior.
Luffy's vigilance was at its highest. He followed Chen Ye's gaze, but all he saw was a scene of devastation.
Marco looked puzzled: "Chen Ye, what's wrong?"
Chen Ye did not answer.
His gaze was fixed on the location indicated by the system.
That seemingly ordinary patch of grass and pebbles appeared to him as if it were a lurking, dangerous creature.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
The sounds of wind, gunpowder, and distant waves seemed to vanish in an instant.
The world became deathly silent.
Chen Ye's lips twitched slightly.
Oh?
interesting.
There were even people secretly following them!
