"Oh no, this is Conqueror's Haki." Luffy's expression immediately turned serious.
"Luffy, Luffy, the clouds seem to be dispersing!" Nami exclaimed in alarm.
Roger's Conqueror's Haki surged towards Lin Qing, indiscriminately heading towards Nami and the others.
Although Luffy released Conqueror's Haki for a moment to counteract the Haki, preventing Nami and the others from fainting.
However, the white clouds beneath their feet were shaken precariously by the two powerful shockwaves.
"You're still too weak. I don't have time to deal with you. You can just stay on your West Island!"
Lin Qing ignored Roger, waved his hand to increase the thickness of the white clouds, and then appeared in front of Roger in a flash.
"How is this possible? You—" Even with Roger's power increased by fifteen times and his Observation Haki combined, he still couldn't see how Lin Qing got there.
He immediately realized what was happening and tried to retaliate, but Lin Qing's fist had already struck Roger in the chest.
Lin Qing used all his strength in this punch. After Roger was hit, he fell at an extremely fast speed, creating a huge sonic boom in the air.
Finally, Roger crashed directly onto West Island, causing the entire island to tremble as if an earthquake had struck, creating a huge crater.
Roger, on the other hand, lost consciousness and became embedded in the mud, his entire figure becoming much more ethereal.
Lin Qing knew that his punch wouldn't kill Roger, since his entire body was covered in domineering aura and the power was increased by fifteen times. However, even if Roger didn't die, he would be crippled.
"What's going on? What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Marcus, the second-in-command of West Island, rushed out of the house.
At that moment, a man ran over from a distance, bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Marcus, saying, "My lord, it is the island lord."
"The island lord fell from the sky and created a huge crater."
"How is that possible? That's Island Lord Roger! How could it be? Didn't the Island Lord go to the sky to capture the intruders?"
"Marcus, was Roger shot down by the invaders?" a voice came from inside the house.
“Ah, island lord, yes, yes, you see,” Marcus said flatteringly.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Roger to be defeated. I'll go check on Roger first." A tall man walked out of the house.
A man, shirtless but draped in a white coat, held in his hand the weapon "Murakumo-giri," one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords.
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, Lord of West Island."
"Hmm!" Whitebeard responded and then disappeared, reappearing in the center of the deep pit.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really pitiful." Whitebeard jumped into the pit and pulled Roger out from inside.
Whitebeard placed his palm on Roger's head, then tossed Roger to Marcus and returned to the South Island.
As he left, he muttered to himself, "Let's just stay on the South Island and let the Domain Lord deal with that invader himself!"
"Wow, that's amazing! Haha, Lin Qing, you're so strong!" Luffy pounced on Lin Qing and then hung on him.
Chopper ran over and jumped onto Lin Qing's shoulder, then shouted praises at Lin Qing.
"Alright, we're almost in the airspace." Lin Qing impatiently tried to get them off the plane, but it was all in vain.
"This is the skyspace. It feels similar to the sky islands we went to, except these clouds are black." Nami even jumped on a black cloud as she spoke.
"Yeah, that's strange, it's actually a black cloud." Robin felt something was off.
"Alright, let's hurry up and find that domain lord so we can recover Ace's memories as soon as possible." Lin Qing didn't find anything else.
"Who dares to trespass into the airspace?" A group of armed guards quickly ran over and surrounded Lin Qing and his group.
"We're here to see Domain Lord Nanerkos about something," Lin Qing said.
"Hmph, how audacious! Not only have they trespassed into the airspace, but they also dare to address the Domain Lord by his name. Arrest them all!" the team leader immediately ordered.
"Triple burst!" Then, all the guards trembled and attacked Lin Qing and his group.
"I didn't expect you all knew this trick," Lin Qing said in surprise.
"This time I'm going to show you the power of my new weapon!" Zoro said, gripping his sword with both hands, eager to try it out.
"Now I can finally try out these two weapons!" Zoro thought to himself.
However, Lin Qing had no idea what Zoro was thinking and immediately took action.
Seeing the guards rushing towards him, Lin Qing vanished instantly. The guards were sent flying as if they had been hit by some kind of attack.
Then Lin Qing reappeared in the same spot, still holding the guard captain in his hand.
"Tell me where Nankers is?"
"Don't even think about it, I'd rather die than tell."
"Hehe, as you wish." Golden flames suddenly appeared in Lin Qing's hand.
The captain of the guard didn't even have time to scream before he was burned to ashes.
Lin Qing released his divine sense and found a sign, then said, "Let's go, I already know where it is."
This sign has a map of the entire airspace on it, and it stands quietly not far away.
It seems this was meant for those transporting supplies to the four islands below, to prevent them from going to the wrong place.
"Lin Qing, I know you're very strong, but could you let me try out these two weapons?" Zoro said speechlessly.
The air fell silent for a moment, then Lin Qing gave an awkward laugh: "Ah, haha, okay, okay, I won't fight back when we encounter anyone, you guys will handle it."
"Alright, you said it yourself. A strong person doesn't lie."
"Of course, I'm not human if I'm lying," Lin Qing assured, patting his chest.
"We heard everything!"
"Oh ho ho ho, I'll be a witness."
"We heard it, we heard it, we all heard it!" Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy, the three idiots, shouted from the side.
Franky and Sanji scratched their heads. They both felt something was off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.
Chapter 142 Domain Lord Nanerkos (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
Lin Qing noticed that there were guards constantly approaching them, probably numbering in the thousands.
“Someone’s coming, a huge number of them. I’ll fly you there.” Lin Qing didn’t want to waste time on the soldiers.
Lin Qing used a traction spell to pull the Straw Hat crew together, then flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
After flying for about ten minutes, Lin Qing and his Straw Hat crew landed; they had arrived at their destination.
They are currently at the main entrance of the first floor of the Soul Tower, while Nanerkos is on the top floor, the tenth floor.
There were guards everywhere in the airspace, but there wasn't a single person guarding the vicinity of the Soul Tower.
"Woo-la-la-la! It's an honor to have such distinguished guests! Woo-la-la-la!" A high-pitched, loud voice came from inside the tower.
Then, a three-meter-tall, oddly shaped person walked out. When Lin Qing saw his appearance, he realized that the people in the One Piece world were indeed all kinds of strange and wonderful.
"Are you the domain lord?" Luffy stepped forward and asked.
"Woo-la-la-la! I am the Lord of the Domain, the ruler of the entire Yellow Springs Village, and who are you?" Nanerkes said, his mouth agape.
"I am the man who will become the Pirate King. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates," Luffy said, pressing down on his straw hat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Even the Pirate King Roger has to obey my orders. How dare your little pirate crew set foot in the sky without my permission?"
"I don't care about whether it's true or false, all I want now is to get Ace's memories back. Give Ace's memories back to me," Luffy said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing waved his hand and placed the still unconscious Ace next to Luffy.
"Hmph! Don't be so arrogant just because you've defeated one or two subordinates. If you want Ace's memories, then defeat me! Ura la la!" Nankose chuckled.
Luffy and his crew glanced at Lin Qing, who then shrugged, indicating that they should go ahead and that he wouldn't make a move unless they spoke.
"Haha, you ugly bastard, let me show you my swordsmanship!" Zoro stepped forward, sharpening his sword.
"Whoosh, I'm here, you can try!" Nankers said dismissively.
Zoro ran straight towards Nanrkos and assumed the starting stance for his swordsmanship: "Seventy-two Pleasures Phoenix".
However, just as Zoro shouted out the name of the move, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Something's strange." Lin Qing noticed that a force had entered Zoro's body.
"Idiot, you can actually fall down?" Sanji looked at Zoro with disdain.
The others also looked at Zoro in surprise; they never expected him to fall.
Then, Zoro stood up with his two swords, turned around and looked around blankly until he saw Nanrkos's face and immediately ran over to him.
"Your subordinate, Sauron, pays respects to Your Majesty, Lord of the Domain." Sauron knelt on one knee and bowed to Nanrkos.
Then, to the shock of the Straw Hat crew, Nankos ordered, "Those people are invaders. Kill them all."
"Yes, Lord Zoro." Zoro stood up and turned to Luffy and his crew: "Intruders, die."
Zoro's eyes instantly turned murderous. "Double burst!" Zoro shouted, unleashing the same ultimate move that the others had used earlier.
"Interesting, very interesting." Lin Qing watched as Zoro, with his astonishing willpower, was brainwashed in such a short time and given this ultimate move.
Lin Qing found it quite interesting, but he didn't make a move. He wanted to see if Luffy and his crew could handle this domain lord.
"What...what did you do to Zoro?" Luffy's expression changed drastically.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, I didn't do anything, it just seems your partner has become my subordinate too!"
"Hmph, if you won't talk, then I'll beat you until you do!" Luffy said angrily.
Zoro is already a very strong swordsman, and with Lin Qing's two divine weapons, he now has a double burst of power, so he'll have a good fight against Luffy.
Lin Qing also wanted to know the outcome of the duel between Luffy and Zoro, since they had never fought in the One Piece anime.
However, perhaps even fate didn't want Lin Qing to see Luffy turn to look at her: "Lin Qing, go ahead and do it. I won't lay a hand on my crewmates."
"Uh, okay, I'll take care of this ugly guy," Lin Qing said.
"Hmph, you ugly bastard, how dare you call me ugly? Do you think I can't see you just because you're wearing a mask?" Nankers suddenly became angry; he hated it most when people called him ugly.
"Huh? You're asking for death." Lin Qing became furious and first bound Zoro to the spot.
Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of Nankers and threw a punch at him.
