One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 276
“Hahaha! You little rascal! Now you know how powerful I am!” Aris laughed maniacally while stepping on the Flower Monk’s chest, paying no mind to the blood covering the monk and taunting him.
“Cough, cough, damn brat!” The Flower Monk, filled with anger, let out a low growl. His muscles bulged as he suddenly broke free from Aris’s foot and headbutted Aris in the stomach.
“Karma Law!” Flower Monk roared, muscles bulging, and his left hand clenched into a fist, gathering all his strength as he grabbed Aris, bent over in pain, and slammed him into the ground.
“Boom!” The entire street of Mogyu Town trembled violently under this impact.
“Aris!” The sudden turn of events left Louis, Spike, Perona, and the others in shock, and they rushed towards the Flower Monk, intending to rescue Aris from his clutches.
“You little brats! Today, I’ll slaughter all of you!” The Flower Monk, covered in blood and with red eyes, exuded an aura like a crazed beast, his explosive muscles shrouded in a dark atmosphere.
“Roar!” In the blink of an eye, the Flower Monk disappeared from the view of the others, only to reappear by their side.
“You’re all going to die! Karma retribution!” The Flower Monk let out a furious roar and unleashed a punch that sent Spike flying out of the shadows. He followed up by kicking Louis in the chest, the force of which caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood and crash into a nearby building.
“Ah!!! Don’t come near!” Seeing that the Flower Monk had dealt with Louis and Spike, Perona let out a terrified scream. Countless ghosts and specters instantly shot out of her body, heading towards the Flower Monk.
“Explosive Specters!” “Boom, boom, boom!” Continuous explosions engulfed the Flower Monk. In the billowing smoke and dust, the Flower Monk emerged unscathed and punched Perona’s cute face.
“Ugh!” She spat out a mouthful of blood, her front teeth flying out of her mouth, as Perona was sent flying into a building.
“Phew, phew, phew…” Surveying the fallen and unconscious adversaries around him, the Flower Monk dispelled his abilities and panted heavily.
“You damn brats, you’ve ruined my good mood! I’m going to vent my anger on all of you!” After catching his breath, the Flower Monk, with a sinister expression, approached Aris. He intended to deal with this troublesome brat first.
Soon, he stood before Aris, raised his foot, and covered it with dense Busoshoku Haki. He was about to go down. “Buzz!” Just as he was about to step on Aris, a terrifying gravity suddenly appeared out of nowhere, crushing him down with no warning.
“So heavy!!!” The Flower Monk let out a mournful cry as he felt his bones and internal organs about to be crushed.
“What is this? Damn it!” The Flower Monk activated his abilities, making his body grow and muscles bulge to resist the sudden, terrifying gravity. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t escape, and the gravity became more oppressive.
The entire ground was sinking under this gravitational force. “Damn it! Who is this?” The Flower Monk, with great difficulty, raised his head and searched in all directions for the one who had attacked him. However, he couldn’t find anyone.
“Cough! Cough, cough, cough!” On the other side, Aris suddenly coughed violently and slowly regained consciousness. He stood up, his face pale, and looked at the Flower Monk, who was struggling with the oppressive gravity.
“Ah, is it my old man who intervened?” Aris felt the terrifying gravity on the Flower Monk’s body and wore a grim expression. “Indeed, I’m still too weak. I didn’t expect this monk to have such strength.” Aris looked at the Flower Monk, who was still struggling, and expressed his admiration.
“Old man, stop it. I can’t let you harm my companions!” Seemingly hearing Aris’s words, the oppressive gravity suddenly disappeared. “Cough ah!” With the gravity gone, the Flower Monk couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
After lying on the ground for a while, he finally looked up at Aris, who was standing above him. At this moment, he no longer had any intention of attacking Aris. “Hey, Monk, as the first person to defeat me, I recognize your strength.” mThe Flower Monk stared at Aris silently, although Aris was the loser in the fight.
“…”
The Flower Monk looked at Aris silently, wondering why the defeated one acted like the winner. Aris ignored the Flower Monk’s expression and continued to look at him with great pride.
“My name is Aris. I am the Emperor of the Sea, the captain of the Locks Pirates, and the Locks’ son. My dream is to surpass my father in the future and establish a pirate crew stronger than his. So, become my companion. I acknowledge your strength and potential. Let’s climb to the pinnacle of this world together!”
Aris extended his right hand to the Flower Monk with great confidence and sincerity.
At this moment, Aris, despite his young age, exuded a certain inexplicable charm. The Flower Monk stared at Aris in amazement and eventually shook his head, getting up and reaching out to shake Aris’s hand.
“Haha, let’s see if your lofty words are overconfidence or true confidence, Young Master. I’m Urki, from Skypiea.” Urki used Aris’s hand to get back on his feet, looking down at the young boy before him. “Then, let me see if you can live up to your words. Young Master, I’ll join you from now on!”
Urki revealed a bright and sunny smile. “Ah, then do your best to improve your strength, Urki! I don’t want to see you die in some battle before you fulfill your grand ambitions.” Aris also smiled. His smile was filled with confidence and arrogance. He never doubted his lofty words.
“Haha, rest assured, I won’t fall behind. I won’t die until you fulfill your grand ambitions, Young Master.” The two of them looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter.
In no time, Louis, Spike, Perona, and the others woke up and saw Aris and Urki chatting amicably, occasionally bursting into laughter. They had question marks above their heads.
“These two guys, what’s going on?”
