Chapter 285: A Dangerous Wedding!
"You brat! Didn't you hear? There's a trap up the stairs."
Polod held his head in his hands, at a loss for what to do.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Trouble! They dare to go up!"
"Hehehe! This is so much fun!"
Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy ignored Borod's warning. That's just the kind of group they are. If anyone gets in their way, they'll either kick them away or cut them down.
“Oh my! You all have to hear what Bo-Lord has to say.”
Arkis angrily gave chase. Seeing the situation was dire, Borod and Usopp had no choice but to follow.
"Hehehe! This place is really nice!"
"Luffy, what's wrong?"
"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback.
"Are you kidding me! Can't you guys feel that these stairs are shaking?"
Suddenly, Luffy felt an unusual tremor beneath his feet.
"That's true!"
“That’s right!” Luffy nodded.
Zorro and Sanji both sensed something unusual under their feet.
"Not good! Let's go!"
As Polod finished speaking, the stairs suddenly leveled out. Everyone collapsed. The mechanism had activated.
"Hey! The water's here!"
The moment Zorro opened his eyes, he saw the scene before him. Immediately afterward, a massive torrent of water surged towards them. The six men desperately tried to stand, but they were no match for the raging torrent.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
Everyone was swept away. Suddenly, rows of sharp blades appeared below. If this continued, everyone would die under the blades.
"Wow!" came a gasp.
Finally, Luffy, who couldn't swim, couldn't withstand the rushing water. At the critical moment, Luffy stretched out his rubber-like arm and grabbed a pillar tightly. Just as everyone was about to crash into the array of sharp blades, Luffy stopped them with his hand.
"Oh dear! That was almost..."
Luffy's arm saved their lives. However, Luffy's rubber arm was under immense pressure and had reached its limit. If this continued, everyone would die here.
"So that's why Poirot said there must be some kind of mechanism inside!"
As soon as Akis finished speaking, a roar came from above.
"Hey! What's this? Something feels off!"
Usopp was half-crying and half-awake.
"Wow!" came a gasp.
The crowd erupted in a frenzy of shouts.
The road to hell was not over. Misfortune never comes singly. This time, massive boulders began to tumble down. Anyone hit by one would be smashed into a pulp.
"What a painstaking effort! A bunch of bastards."
Sanji stepped on Luffy and leaped into the air. The giant rock drew ever closer.
boom!
Sanji kicked out. A huge rock shattered. Then, another kick, and another.
"Damn rock!"
After one kick, Sanji finally collapsed to the ground. Sanji had destroyed the boulder. This was simply unbelievable. If it weren't for Sanji's powerful kick, they would have been crushed into mincemeat long ago.
"Damn stairs."
Zoro watched Sanji's frantic kicking and refused to be outdone. He bent down, leaped up, and grabbed the protrusions on the stairs with both hands.
"Oh...!" Luffy nodded.
A flash of cold light. Zorro slammed his fist into the ground with all his might.
Bang bang bang bang!
After a loud bang, Zorro used all his strength to strike, shattering the mechanism on the stairs and restoring them to their original state.
"so amazing!"
The thief brothers were dumbfounded.
"Let's go!" Luffy said casually.
Sanji kicked the last stone to pieces and urged them on.
"Hehehe! I won again!"
In a corner room of the Poker City lobby, the Five Poker Brothers and Nami were enthusiastically playing cards around a table. They were practically family.
"This woman is too amazing... If this continues, I'm going to go bankrupt."
Skank Wayne took off his hat, revealing a side-parted hairstyle, and was sweating profusely.
Nami, dressed in a wedding gown, gathered up all the cards around her and burst into laughter. Looking at the pile of cards in front of her, it was clear to everyone that she was the sole winner.
...... ......... 0
Could it be... that Nami is no longer a hostage?
"It's strange, why is that? Why didn't your companions come to save you?"
Queen Hani said listlessly.
"Hurry up and save you! If I knock you down, won't the wedding have to be postponed?"
Belkin was very unhappy after suffering a crushing defeat.
Nami is still a hostage.
However, she is also Belkin's bride-to-be. Her life is not in immediate danger. Moreover, this thirty-six-year-old bachelor is a piece of cake for the former witch Nami. And in just a few days, Nami's status in Poker City has reached an unbelievable level. Nami's ability to make such a change is truly befitting of a former witch.
This guy named Belkin is indeed ruthless. However, his personality is quite eccentric. This is evident from the furnishings in the hall. A jumble of random things is piled on the floor, completely out of place for a throne. Besides a Japanese-style room, there's also a bar.
Chapter 286: Devil Fruit User!
Near the fireplace, there was a stove. There was absolutely no sense of unity. A string of unrelated objects hung from the ceiling: a clock, a chandelier, and so on. All of this demonstrated Lord Belkin's interest in the world.
Just like a child.
This mess of things looks like a child throwing toys around. And the idea of collecting all sorts of pirate ships is just too childish, isn't it?
Belkin was a child.
If it were a child, he might be considered cute, but this man can also be ruthless at times.
"Lord Belkin!"
Just then, a low voice rang out, "693".
Queen Hani seemed to be getting impatient, and she spoke through a tube not far from the ground.
"What? Didn't we already give the periodic report? Oh dear! What?"
"It's like it's specifically designed to deliver messages," Queen Hani asked her subordinates.
"what's the situation?"
"It seems that Straw Hat Luffy landed on Clockwork Island."
Belkin looked confident and pleased with himself.
"Hehehe! Those useless guys must have been killed by the traps on the stairs!"
Bojerk hummed a little tune. Although he had only played cards for a short while, sweat was already beading on his forehead.
"If it's such a piece of trash, then there's no need to waste time on it."
Nami's voice rang out. However, she really couldn't tell which side Nami was on.
“That’s right!” said Boojek. “A mob.”
"Then let's call it a peasant uprising."
"In short, we are fully prepared."
Pienjack ignored Nami's accusations.
"Don't worry! I'll go see what those guys look like in such a sorry state!"
