...
Luffy endured a relentless barrage of attacks, yet his offensive onslaught persisted.
Until...
"It's quite peculiar. Your young friend here seems quite resilient in a fight, but your two companions are rather vulnerable."
Emerging from the right alley, Ibara appeared, holding the unconscious Mine and Tatsumi, whom he callously tossed to the ground. With a swift motion, he raised his elbow, and a multitude of spikes emerged, descending menacingly toward the defenseless duo.
"Ah!! Stop!!——"
A battered and bruised Luffy, his nose swollen, let out a hoarse roar at the sight of this gruesome scene!
Wow~~~
The sea breeze brushed against his face, its chill contrasting the warmth of the sunlight.
"out again?"
Luffy scanned his surroundings, observing the gentle waves under the warm sunlight. The humid air provided relief, liberating Luffy from the intense mental strain moments ago.
"That Ibara... is a real nuisance."
Luffy despised villains who could stoop to such cruel actions without hesitation. If Ibara hadn't aimed to harm Mine and Tatsumi, Luffy would still be locked in combat with Sten.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Luffy sensed an improvement in his fruit proficiency during the recent battle with Sten, as if he were gradually mastering its usage.
"No, with my current strength, I can't rescue Mine and Tatsumi!"
"I must continue the fight and bring those villains to their knees!"
Luffy took a deep breath and plunged back into the fray.
This time, armed with knowledge of Sten's fighting style, Luffy's performance noticeably surpassed his second attempt. Experience points soared.
Yet, when Ibara reappeared, Main and Tatsumi's plight dragged Luffy back.
After...
Entering for the fourth time~
Entering for the fifth time...
Ninth attempt...
Tenth try...
Each time he entered, Luffy's performance improved significantly!
With every entry, Luffy's determination to become stronger intensified!
Having witnessed Mine and Tatsumi on the brink of death repeatedly, Luffy could only growl in frustration.
By the tenth entry from the Mangas, Luffy sensed that powerful moves were on the verge of being unleashed!
This sensation was incredibly potent!
"Yes, I'm going to model it out!"
"Go in!"
Luffy shouted again, eager to re-enter the Manga.
However...
"Go in!"
"Um?"
"I want to go in!"
"Let me in!"
"I'm going in!"
"???"
After several attempts, Luffy's expression changed.
This isn't right...
No, I have to get in!
After a few more tries, Luffy began to feel anxious.
"No! This manga belongs to Logan. He must know how to get in. I'll ask him!"
Unable to figure it out himself, Luffy, in a sudden burst of inspiration, rushed to Logan's studio with a Manga book.
"Logan, help me!"
Entering Logan's studio, Luffy opened the door and went in.
Swipe!
Are you feeling depressed to consider counseling?
Logan glanced up at Luffy. Witnessing the captain's evident distress, Logan suddenly felt a twinge of guilt. Look at how their spirited captain had become so despondent.
At this moment, Luffy... His hair disheveled, eyes dull, and his entire demeanor exhausted. He even seemed a bit disoriented. A picture of utter despair! Seeing this, Logan couldn't help but feel remorseful. Maybe showing Luffy the maga of [Akame Ga Kill] was a step too far.
It appeared that the might of [Akame Ga Kill] was overwhelming, even for Joyboy. Did he, as the creator of [Akame Ga Kill], commit a crime by crafting such a manga?
"Logan, you have to help me!" Anxious to rescue Mine and Tatsumi, Luffy held onto Logan's hand, his plea filled with urgency. Yet, the more distressed Luffy looked, the more guilty Logan felt.
"Luffy, don't worry. I understand everything about your situation." Logan offered a comforting hug and gently patted Luffy's head, attempting to alleviate the captain's despondency.
"Fantastic! I knew coming to you would help!" Luffy's eyes lit up. Indeed, if anyone knew how to enter the world of the Mangas, it had to be Logan.
Logan reproached himself further. Clearly, Luffy was deeply ensnared in the shadow of [Akame Ga Kill], unable to break free. Merely a word of reassurance seemed to offer a glimmer of salvation.
"Logan, tell me the method. I need to save Mine and Tatsumi!" Luffy, driven by the urgency of rescuing his friends, implored Logan eagerly.
What? Save Mine? Save Tatsumi? Had Luffy rushed through the entire story already? But... oh no! Had Luffy's situation truly become this dire?
he started talking gibberish...
"Luffy, listen to me; the solution is actually quite simple."
"Go back now, have a good rest, get some sleep, and everything will be fine by tomorrow."
Saying that, Logan embraced Luffy even more tightly, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart.
Is it okay to just get some sleep? Luffy paused for a moment. Then, it suddenly dawned on him!
Exactly! Why didn't I think of it earlier? It must be that the number of times I entered today has reached its limit. Tomorrow, after the count resets, maybe I'll be able to enter again!
"Luffy, be obedient and go rest. You can save Mine even better when you have enough energy."
In an effort to coax Luffy into sleep, Logan echoed Luffy's sentiments. Save Mine, right? Save her, save him! As long as you fall asleep, you can achieve anything in your dreams, rescuing whoever you want.
"Okay! I'm going to sleep now!" Armed with this newfound hope, Luffy picked up the Manga book and headed out.
Observing Luffy happily hopping away to his room, Logan walked to the door and sighed suddenly.
Oh dear... I messed up big time.
