Leiyi was completely unaware of the abstract operations of the girl group (an all-female Pirate Crew), and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, what could be more outrageous than an all-female country?

At this moment, Luffy had been driven to his wits' end.

"Hey, if you guys keep chasing me, I'm going to fight back. If I fight back, I will definitely blow you away."

"Men really are about to expose their true nature, huh."

"So rude."

"Hey, what are you guys mumbling and babbling about? You're trying to kill me, so is there a problem with me wanting to fight back?"

Luffy actually felt grateful to these people who had saved him, so he was very polite when dealing with them. Even though he was being chased for no reason, he still hadn't fought back until now.

Furthermore, he didn't have much mind to spare for this right now; he was still in a rush to figure out a way back to Sabaody Archipelago to reunite with his crewmates.

Since he was still alive, his crewmates might all still be alive as well.

He believed that as long as his crewmates were alive, they would definitely return to Sabaody Archipelago to look for people.

But now he was starting to reach his limit. Anyone would be angry if they were hunted down for no reason, let alone being driven into a corner with nowhere left to retreat.

If he didn't resist any longer, he would be captured; he simply had no choice.

"Damn it, then I'll—"

Before he could finish his words, Leiyi appeared directly and split the battlefield.

Just as two feathered arrows flew over, Leiyi completely ignored them. With a flash of lightning, the arrows were destroyed.

Seeing Leiyi suddenly appear before them, the Kuja Guards members immediately became vigilant and shouted angrily,

"What kind of person are you? How dare you interfere with the Kuja Guards' business."

Luffy jumped straight up and started ranting,

"Enel, so it's you bastard! You actually dare to show up again. Damn it, see if I don't blow you away again this time, Gomu Gomu no..."

Leiyi:...

These Kuja Guards really had some nerve. Given the strength he had displayed, was that something they could mess with? They actually dared to interrogate him—the mental state of pirates was truly wonderful.

But Luffy, what on earth is your deal? Do you really not recognize faces at all? Whether it's his build or appearance, exactly where does he look like Enel?

You can't just judge someone to be Enel the moment you see a little electricity.

However, this also reminded Leiyi that the source of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability wasn't local; the one on Sky Island still existed.

That meant his very existence might be a bug in itself.

Before Luffy had time to make a move, Leiyi flashed directly in front of him, then picked him up and slammed him fiercely onto the ground.

The scene shook the earth and mountains.

Present-day Luffy was as childish as an infant in front of Leiyi, completely lacking even a shred of ability to resist.

"Monkey D. Luffy, if your eyes aren't working well, you might as well donate them."

"Ah, ouch ouch ouch! Why is it this kind of ability again? What on earth is this thing? How come everyone hits as painfully as Grandpa? Hey, let me go, you bastard, separate—"

Luffy muttered with his head pressed against the ground.

He kept struggling as well, but restrained as he was, where would he get the strength to break free?

As for Leiyi, he had completely no intention of letting go.

Although he used to be a fan of pirates, this wasn't watching an anime, not to mention he was a Marines himself.

From any perspective, his stance was not on the same line as the protagonist's crew, and it was even less likely for him to suck up to him upon meeting.

If not for old man Garp's sentiment... and his deterrence, he would want to kill him right now to prevent this guy from messing up his plans after meeting the Empress.

He wouldn't care about any Sun God awakening or non-awakening.

According to "Devil Fruit Awakening Hypothesis: Energy Conversion Relativity".

Present-day Luffy's own strength was far from enough to support a Devil Fruit awakening. No matter how wildly idealistic it was, the result after awakening would only be like Nagato summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The original work had long since stated that this fruit had appeared several times in history, but the Ability User died before they had time to awaken their ability.

This showed that there was fundamentally no such thing as this Devil Fruit being unkillable.

Therefore, regarding Luffy, Leiyi's attitude was indifferent—meaning he was happy to see him go cause trouble for the World Government, but if necessary, he would also take him down without hesitation.

"Monkey D. Luffy, I am Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Leiyi. Your crime has come to light, and I now officially announce your arrest."

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ "What, the Marines?"

Hearing Leiyi's words, Luffy froze for a moment, and his struggle became even more intense.

Yet he still remained completely motionless.

"Damn it, why is this Marines so strong? He feels just like Grandpa."

Damn it, who still dares to say Luffy is stupid? In just this short amount of time after he pinned him down, he had already brought up his grandpa twice.

Ghost knows if this was intentional or accidental?

"The Marines? How did you get in here? This is Amazon Lily. Don't you know the World Government and Marines are forbidden from approaching these waters?"

As the Kuja Guards captain, even though she had already realized Leiyi's strength, Kikyo stepped forward at the very first moment.

She wore a very high black ponytail, possessed slender phoenix eyes, and was a cold and glamorous older sister type. She wore revealing clothes and had a white cloak draped behind her. At the same time, she held a bow and arrow transformed from a venomous snake in her hand.

At this moment, she gradually pulled her bow to its full extent, and the rest of the team members quickly followed suit upon seeing this.

"Don't be impulsive, ladies. My entry was permitted by your Empress."

"Stop joking. Do you think I can't tell? You're a man too, right? Snake Princess detests Marines and men the most; how could she possibly allow you to enter?"

"Whether I am or not, what can you do to me? Just obediently wait for your people. Of course, you can also choose to make a move against me, but bear the consequences yourselves."

The Kuja Guards members looked at each other in dismay, temporarily not knowing what to do.

Captain Kikyo was also unable to make a decision this time. She wanted to launch an attack, but her intuition made her dare not loosen her grip this time.

After speaking, Leiyi no longer paid attention to these people.

He picked Luffy up.

"Straw Hat, stop struggling. It's useless; you are simply too weak."

"Damn it."

"Rest assured, I won't do anything to you for now this time. Answer my question first: do you know Nami?"

The reason he asked this question was because just now on the ship, Yamato had shown zero reaction upon hearing that Ace was scheduled for a public execution.

And upon asking, he found out that Yamato had never met any Ace at all.

"Who? Are they some Great Pirate too?"

Hearing Luffy's reply, Leiyi froze slightly.

Although he had already suspected this when he saw Nami didn't have a bounty poster, not only did she not board the ship, but they didn't even know each other?

With Luffy's brain, it was impossible for him to be lying.

Therefore, the plot had changed once again. Just how much had this plot changed by now?

If deduced this way, would the situation of the Summit War change? After all, he had just lured two Four Emperors and the Holy Knights together to fight a battle.

There was a high probability that it would.

Although Leiyi didn't care too much about whether the plot deviated given his current strength, in the vast ocean, where was he supposed to go to find Nami now?

Did he have to make a special trip to the East Blue? That would be way too far, and Nami might not even be there.

It seemed that the path to turning one's physical body into Senju Hashirama wasn't that easy to walk.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time and sort out the matters of the upcoming Summit War first.
