Faced with Aokiji, Kizaru, and Garp, Luo Chen's mind was as calm as ever.
Not to mention, he was not fighting alone.
Even if he was, he had no fear.
Because he had the Flying Thunder God and Kamui.
Needless to say about the time-space power of Kamui.
The current teleportation range of Flying Thunder God was a full seven kilometers in radius.
It was enough to cover the area of many small and medium-sized islands. If he decided to run, even Kizaru might not be able to catch him.
Luo Chen looked back at the Empress.
The usually cold and domineering Boa Hancock now had a blush on her beautiful face, her lovely eyes shimmering, her expression deeply moved.
"Luo Chen, you risked your life to save me just now..."
Luo Chen smiled. "We'll talk after the battle, Hancock. Can you help me protect those two people?"
He pointed to Nami and Robin, who were standing in the distance, not daring to run over.
Hearing this, Hancock clutched her heart, seemingly very excited, her stunning face turning slightly red:
"You... you said my name? Okay, I will definitely help you protect them!"
"No, Luo Chen, I want to help you fight the enemy."
Hancock looked at Luo Chen, feeling her heart flutter.
Especially when he said her name.
She didn't quite understand what this feeling was.
Her heart was pounding so hard with nervousness and excitement, it felt like it would leap out of her chest.
This strange feeling had appeared right after Luo Chen used his body to block Kizaru's sword for her.
Luo Chen heard her and shook his head with a smile. "No need. I have helpers."
Although the battlefield was chaotic, the top-tier powerhouses were all watching Luo Chen.
Sengoku, Akainu, Tsuru, the Warlords, Whitebeard, and the others all had a slight change in their expressions.
'Helpers?'
'What helpers? Who?'
'Isn't Luo Chen alone?'
Suddenly, a shadow was cast from the sky.
A wooden dragon, hundreds of meters long, lay across the sky. It had, at some unknown point, arrived above the battlefield from afar.
People looked up. On the wooden dragon's back, figures leaped down from the sky, smashing into the ground.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Dust and smoke rose. The ice surface shattered, and figures flickered within the thick smoke.
The pirates and Marines stared at the ethereal figures within the nine plumes of smoke, holding their breath.
'Who are they?'
'Are these nine the helpers Luo Chen mentioned?'
A moment later, the dust and smoke dissipated, revealing their true faces.
The first person people recognized was the Warlord Jinbe.
His blue skin, fish-man appearance, and considerable fame made him very conspicuous.
"The Warlord of the Sea, Jinbe! Wasn't he imprisoned in Impel Down? How is he here with Luo Chen!"
"Who are the other people? I've never seen them."
"I don't know... I recognize that person! He seems to be the former Chief Guard of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain!"
"Who? Shiryu of the Rain? The Shiryu of the Rain who was said to be on par with Magellan, one of Impel Down's 'Iron Walls'?"
Someone showed a look of astonishment, staring at the tall man with a wide chin and a wicked smile on his face.
'Shiryu of the Rain... is he also with Luo Chen?'
The Marines, especially the Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals, were all moved.
They knew of Shiryu of the Rain.
Some had even dealt with Shiryu in the past.
They were well aware of how strong this man was.
It could be said that below the Admirals, very few in the Marines could defeat Shiryu; they could be counted on one hand.
"Shiryu of the Rain! How could he be with Luo Chen?!"
The expressions of the Marine high command were extremely ugly.
The former Chief Guard of Impel Down had defected. This was another hard slap across their faces.
And, it seemed, he was Luo Chen's helper.
This was incredibly tricky.
"Who are the remaining seven?" A new Marine recruit, Coby, trembled as he shrank back in the ranks, unable to help asking.
An older Marine's gaze landed on the person with the purple afro, whose gender was unclear.
"One of the founders of the Revolutionary Army, the Commander of the Grand Line Army, Ivankov."
"The person next to him, half orange and half white, is his deputy, Inazuma."
"Both of them are veteran figures in the Revolutionary Army. I heard they were captured and taken to Impel Down, but they've actually appeared with Luo Chen."
The Revolutionary Army was absolutely the World Government's number one enemy.
Their threat level was even higher than that of the Yonko crews.
'A veteran figure.' Just hearing this title, Coby and many other Marines knew how terrifying Ivankov was.
"Someone from the Revolutionary Army appearing with Luo Chen... Is Luo Chen also a revolutionary?" Beside Coby, Helmeppo asked curiously.
No one answered him. It was hard to say.
He probably wasn't. After all, the wanted poster for Luo Chen from the Marines and World Government didn't mention this.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Ivankov had also been imprisoned in Impel Down.
It was understandable that Luo Chen would bring him out during his escape.
Brrr... Brrr...
The Den Den Mushi in Sengoku's hand suddenly rang.
He held an amplifier in one hand and the Den Den Mushi in the other.
He originally didn't want to answer, but seeing the Den Den Mushi mimic Magellan's appearance, Sengoku answered it.
The situation had deteriorated far beyond his expectations.
'If those people are all Luo Chen's helpers, this is trouble.'
As Fleet Admiral, Sengoku undoubtedly recognized everyone.
He just wanted to find out from Magellan's mouth whether these people were on the same side as Luo Chen.
If not, there might be a chance to divide them.
He picked up the call, and Magellan's weak, self-recriminating voice came through:
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Luo Chen has broken out. He took seven prisoners from Level 6, Eternal Hell."
"Douglas Bullet, Shiryu of the Rain, Byrnndi World, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, Avalo Pizarro, and Jinbe."
"And also the missing Ivankov and Inazuma."
"All nine of them, led by Luo Chen, have escaped."
"My apologies. I failed to stop them. I was knocked into the sea by Luo Chen."
Magellan's voice was broadcast across the battlefield via the amplifier.
Marines and pirates all froze on the spot, forgetting to fight.
Magellan had reminded them of one terrifying, extremely evil name after another.
Douglas Bullet.
Known as the "Demon Heir," a former crewmate of the Pirate King Roger. At fifteen, he fought Rayleigh to a standstill.
Byrnndi World, nicknamed the "World Destroyer," had attacked a Celestial Dragon.
"Crescent Moon Hunter," Catarina Devon.
"Heavy Drinker," Vasco Shot.
"Corrupt King," Avalo Pizarro.
These were all infamous great pirates from many years ago.
They were imprisoned on Level 6, Eternal Hell, in an attempt to erase them from history.
If the Marines and pirates present weren't all elites, they probably would have never even heard their names.
"All these people... are led by Luo Chen?"
The new Marine recruit, Coby, gulped, his face full of fear, his legs trembling.
Helmeppo and many of the young Marines beside him turned pale.
Just hearing that these people came from Level 6, Eternal Hell, they could imagine how terrifying they were.
A Marine Rear Admiral's voice was tight: "You must be careful of that man. Stay away from him. Douglas Bullet."
Coby and Helmeppo looked at the burly, blonde-haired man in the black military uniform.
'Douglas Bullet.'
'To make even a Rear Admiral this wary.'
'Just how strong is he?'
On the execution platform, Sengoku's face was as dark as water.
The worst-case scenario had happened.
This group had been rescued by Luo Chen, and they had come to Marineford together.
They, the Marines, were no longer facing just one Whitebeard Pirate crew.
Although Luo Chen's group had less than ten people, every single one was an elite.
They could be seen as the high-ranking officers of a Yonko crew.
"Damn it!" Sengoku cursed inwardly and hung up on Magellan.
He roared, "Send out the Pacifistas! Full-scale attack!"
At this point, they could only brace themselves and continue the war.
The whole world was watching. The Marines absolutely could not show a trace of cowardice.
