Chapter 229 Pain
Luffy stood on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Minos, who was smiling. The anger in his heart burned like a volcano about to erupt.
Luffy clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and his body trembled slightly—a sign of extreme anger.
"You despicable bastard!" Luffy roared, his voice carrying far on the sea breeze like a tiger's howl.
Before he finished speaking, he shot out like an arrow, throwing a punch at Minos. This punch contained his boundless anger and his desire to protect his companion.
Minos looked at the fist about to hit him, but his face still wore that contemptuous smile: "How rude! But since your whole family are sinners, I can understand."
He stood there, completely unprepared, as if Luffy's attack was nothing more than child's play to him.
"Bang!" Luffy's fist struck Minos's body heavily, making a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching sound rang out as Luffy's fist bone shattered in that attack.
Luffy swayed slightly, but his face showed no sign of retreat; instead, his anger intensified.
"Ah!" Luffy roared, ignoring the injury in his hand, he pushed off the ground with both feet, leaped high into the air, flipped in the air, and raised his right foot to kick Minos hard in the head.
His eyes were filled with determination; even knowing that there were many difficulties ahead, he would never back down.
Minos looked at Luffy, who was jumping around him like a clown, with disdain in his eyes.
With a light, seemingly casual gesture, he grabbed Luffy's foot with his right hand.
Seeing his right foot being grabbed, Luffy didn't hesitate at all. He immediately raised his left foot and kicked Minos's head again. His attack was like a storm, giving his opponent no chance to breathe.
Minos's gaze turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"This Luffy is really annoying." He snorted coldly, and suddenly a deep purple Haki appeared between his right hands, the Haki surrounding his hand as if it were a tangible thing.
He gripped hard, and with a "crack," Luffy's slender leg bone was crushed in his hand.
At the same time, Luffy's heart-wrenching voice, like a sharp blade, pierced the silent air and echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
"Aaaaaah!" Luffy's screams were filled with pain, but even more so with defiance.
Minos smirked, lifted Luffy's body with his right hand, and slammed it hard into the ground.
"Bang!" Luffy's body slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Blood gushed from his mouth, staining the ground red.
Minos looked down at Luffy with a mocking gaze: "You think you can attack me? You're really overestimating yourself."
He tilted his head slightly, his tone filled with arrogance, "Even that old geezer Garp is like an ant in front of me. Let alone you, you clueless fool!"
The battle between Minos and Luffy came so suddenly that before anyone could react, it had already entered a heated phase.
However, the battle was clearly one-sided, with Luffy being utterly defeated.
Just then, two flashes of cold light appeared, and two longswords pierced towards Minos like lightning.
At the same time, a foot, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, kicked towards Minos's back. It turned out that Zoro and Sanji had made their move.
Minos's powerful Observation Haki allowed him to clearly see the attack coming towards him.
Minos's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
He turned around quickly, his body as agile as a ghost, and then kicked out with force.
The powerful impact erupted the instant the feet collided with the swords.
The two swords were violently shattered by the impact, shards flying everywhere. Zoro, who was holding the swords, also had both arms broken by the powerful impact.
His body was thrown far away like a kite with a broken string, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain.
On the other side, Sanji wasn't spared either. He was kicked away by Minos, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
His bones were broken, and his face was contorted in pain.
Minos looked at Zoro and Sanji, who were lying on the ground screaming in pain, without any pity on his face. "I didn't expect you two to be so eager to die. I have no choice but to grant your wish."
Having said that, he walked steadily toward Sanji, who was lying on the ground clutching his broken leg and screaming in pain.
With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, as if mourning the impending tragedy.
His figure appeared exceptionally tall in the sunlight, yet it exuded an aura of evil. Every step he took seemed to stir the hearts of the Straw Hat crew.
Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Princess Vivi, and the others were already stunned by Minos's ferocious appearance.
They stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness, unsure of what to do.
Even the once invincible Crocodile was stunned in place when he saw the ferocious Minos. Despair filled his heart, and he knew that he was about to die at Minos's hands once again.
Minos approached Sanji, looked down at the suffering Sanji on the ground, and gave a contemptuous smile.
"This is the consequence of your overestimation of your abilities," he said coldly, his voice as biting and icy as the winter wind.
As soon as he finished speaking, Minos raised his right foot and slowly stepped on Sanji's other foot.
With a "crack," Sanji's other foot was also broken. His shrill screams became even louder, as if he wanted to vent all his endless pain.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Sanji's screams echoed in the sea breeze, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Blood flowed continuously from Sanji's feet, quickly staining the ground red.
The bright red blood, like blooming spider lilies, stood out starkly on this cruel battlefield.
Minos felt no pity for Sanji's plight. In his eyes, even the main characters were not immune to his punishment.
He raised his foot towards Sanji's head, and his cold voice slowly rang out: "Do you have any last words?"
Sanji, who was under Minos's feet, was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak, but upon hearing Minos's words, he used his last bit of strength to raise his resentful eyes and stare intently at Minos.
His eyes seemed to say: Even if you kill me, so what? I, Sanji, will never beg for mercy.
Minos's icy gaze and Sanji's resentful gaze locked tightly together.
After a moment of eye contact, Sanji's gaze remained filled with resentment, showing no sign of backing down.
Minos understood Sanji's words from Sanji's resentful gaze.
"Then, go die!" Minos grinned, his smile filled with cruelty.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his right foot hard on Sanji's head.
In an instant, Sanji's head shattered like a smashed watermelon, with bright red blood and white brain matter flowing onto the ground.
This bloody scene was like a descent from hell, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
After doing all this, Minos showed no change in expression. He lifted his foot, preparing to walk towards Sauron and continue his atrocities.
Just then, Nami's shrill, wailing voice slowly rose from behind Minos.
At the same time, Minos also felt his black cloak of justice being gripped tightly.
"Stop! Brother Minos, please stop killing innocent people!" Nami cried, her voice trembling with tears. "Please, please let us go!"
Minos turned around and saw Nami kneeling behind him, her beautiful face now streaked with tears.
Moreover, she gripped her black cloak of justice tightly with both hands, as if she wouldn't let herself leave.
Minos watched Nami's scene with a puzzled feeling in his mind.
He didn't recall ever seeing Nami since arriving in the pirate world! The fact that Nami called him "Brother Minos" really puzzled him.
Thinking this, Minos stared intently at Nami, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "I don't remember you! Your calling me 'Brother Minos' makes me a little suspicious. Tell me! How do you want to die!"
Minos's voice remained cold and devoid of any emotion.
Nami raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and pleading, her body trembling slightly.
"Brother Minos, we're all innocent! Luffy and the others just wanted to protect their crew and the peace of this sea. Please, spare us!"
Nami cried as tears streamed down her face.
Minos said disdainfully, "Peace? In this dog-eat-dog world, there is no peace without strength. You people are nothing but ants."
"But we also have dreams, and people we want to protect!" Nami said loudly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. "Luffy has always been working hard to become the Pirate King, so that everyone can sail freely on this sea."
Is it wrong for each of us to strive for our dreams?
