"No! You can't do this..."
Robin shouted anxiously. She didn't expect Gamenio to be so ruthless. Such rules would not give Luffy and the others any way to survive!
And it will involve more innocent people!
According to Luffy's character, he would never let anything happen to his and his friends' hometown.
But they are certainly no match for the Beasts Pirates.
Gamenio did this just to let the sea know what would happen if they offended Beasts Pirates!
There are no rules in the sea that you can't harm family members.
Gamenio is right about one thing.
The rules of the sea are made by the strong!
The weak can only abide by their fate!
Gamenio grabbed Robin's neck, looked at her with fierce eyes, and said coldly: "Remember clearly, you are now a member of Beasts Pirates; don't have any other ideas!"
"Don't think that your words have weight just because you can read historical texts. In Beasts Pirates, except for the captain and Kaido-sama, no one else's words are of any use!"
"If you don't realize it, I will chop you into pieces!"
After saying that, Gamenio threw Robin heavily to the ground.
Beasts Pirates are all a group of unruly villains!
Except for the two brothers, Kaishu and Kaido, no one else can influence these people!
Even Gion, who is the captain's wife and a calamity cadre, cannot order them.
Of course, as long as Kaishu and Kaido are around, everyone must abide by the hierarchy he established!
Therefore, only when Kaishu and Kaido are around will the lower-rank cadres obey the arrangements of calamity and catastrophe.
But once the two brothers disappear for a period of time, the Beasts Pirates will definitely go their own way, and no one will obey the other!
Only the Beasts Pirates, where Kaishu exists, are the strongest pirate group in the world!
"Huh!" Gamenio snorted and turned his head, no longer looking at Robin.
In his eyes, Robin was just a valuable chess piece!
"Do you understand the rules of the game?" Gamenio looked at Zoro and Sanji.
There was reluctance, anger, and hatred in Zoro's eyes... However, he still nodded in agreement!
At the very least, he can't let Luffy be killed right now!
And they need to find a way back to sea.
Sanji's face turned pale, and when he was about to express his agreement, his eyes suddenly blackened; he couldn't stand anymore and lay softly in his own pool of blood on the ground!
"Cook!"
"Sanji!"
Zoro and Robin exclaimed loudly!
"Oh? Is he going to die?"
Gamenio smiled nonchalantly. Sanji had already been seriously injured by him, and he was stabbed ten times because of the game.
Moreover, no first aid was provided to stop the bleeding at all!
Being able to persevere until now is already a sign of strong willpower and physique!
Gamenio had no intention of letting anyone leave alive from the beginning.
Sanji bleeding to death was just what he expected.
But now, he has a different way of torturing them, so even if Sanji dies, it doesn't matter.
"No! Help him, please! Help him!" Robin got on her knees and begged.
"Bang!"
Gameno kicked Robin away and said fiercely: "Don't you understand what I just said?"
"If you don't, I'll let you accompany them now!"
"Cough~cough~"
Robin's eyes were blank, and she coughed up blood.
"Ahem~ don't... Please... Miss Robin…" Suddenly, Sanji speaks in a weak voice.
"Oh? You haven't died yet!" Gamenio laughed unexpectedly: "Then hurry up and get out of here. I'll see how long you can hold on!"
"Take them away!"
The crew members untied Zoro and allowed him to leave with the unconscious Luffy and the dying Sanji.
By the way, they also gave them octopus balloons so that they could return to the sea smoothly!
"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji... You must survive!" Robin prayed in her heart.
"Let's go, take these corpses back, and let those lunatic scientists use them for experiments!"
Gamenio said calmly, and the crew members around immediately returned to the Island of Gods with Arina, Chopper, Usopp's bodies, and the newly recruited Robin!
Next, Gamenio notified Big News Morgans to tell the whole sea what happened to the Straw Hat Pirates for offending the Beasts Pirates!
And the start of the third game!
At this moment, Going Merry landed in the sea area near the Capital of Water (Water 7).
"Sanji! Woo... Woo..."
"Ahhhh!!!"
Without Chopper, Zoro could only simply bandage Sanji's wound, but he still didn't make it.
Not long after returning to sea, he took his last breath in front of Luffy's eyes!
Luffy cried bitterly while holding Sanji's body; his voice had become hoarse, his tears seemed to have dried up, and his expression looked like he was devoid of any hope!
Zoro, who has always been resolute and strong, his eyes became blurred by tears, his gums were bleeding due to clenching too hard, and his heart was filled with unwillingness, hatred, guilt, and anger for his incompetence.
Seeing Luffy's expression, Zoro suppressed all the emotions in his heart and said forcefully:
"Luffy, now is not the time to be sad!"
"For Sanji, Usopp, Arina, and Chopper, you have to cheer up!"
"The next target of the Beasts Pirates is our hometown!"
Luffy remained unmoved and muttered blankly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! It's all my fault, I hurt everyone..."
Zoro's eyes changed; he slapped Luffy on the face angrily and yelled: "No one has ever blamed you!!"
"Everyone joins the Straw Hat Pirates because they believe in you! Any decision you make is everyone's direction!"
"The decision a man makes must be faced with dignity. No one has ever blamed you!"
"But you are acting like this because you want to tell Arina and others that you were wrong from the beginning!"
"Listen to me clearly, Luffy!" Zoro grabbed Luffy's collar, pressed him against the cabin, and looked at him directly in the eyes.
"No matter what difficulties we face, we must push through. I know that the Beasts Pirates are strong, and they have cost us our most important partners."
"Facing the cruel reality and the despair one after another, you can't see any hope at all, and you are swallowed up by the darkness called regret and self-blame. You must be in great pain, Luffy!"
"But you must endure this moment; even if you cry, in your most desperate situation, you must stand up and face it! A man in the sea must stand alone..."
"Don't count all you have lost. What you have lost cannot be recovered, but what are you left with!"
"We still need to protect our hometown!!"
Zoro's hoarse shouting made Luffy's eyes sparkle, and countless figures flashed through his mind: the village chief, Makino, Dadan, Kaya, Dr. Kureha…
Finally, it stop on Robin!
"Not bad! There's everyone's hometown and Zoro! We also need to get Robin back! And..."
There was light in Luffy's heart again, and his eyes were no longer as despairing as before.
After Zoro let go, Luffy fell off the deck, knelt on the deck, and cried hoarsely while shouting Arina, Chopper, Sanji, and Usopp's names over and over again until he passed out!
Zoro sadly lifted Luffy up and put him into the cabin.
He understood Luffy's pain and despair because he felt the same!
After Luffy's vent, he no longer worried.
While picking up Sanji's body, Zoro couldn't stop shedding tears.
Then he put him into the cabin and planned to bury Sanji after he found an island.
