Chapter 340 Fighting the Second
So, the quick-witted Luffy swiftly changed his strategy. He focused intently on the part of the explorer's eyes that was flashing with an eerie blue light, and launched an attack like lightning. Each precise strike was like a thunderclap; with a crisp sound, the blue light in the eyes of the struck explorer would instantly extinguish, and their consciousness would gradually clear.
As more and more expedition members broke free from the control of the mysterious force and regained their senses, the previously one-sided situation began to subtly shift. The mysterious figure who had been manipulating everything roared in frustration, but was powerless to stop the tide of events.
Finally, after a fierce battle, Luffy, with his tenacious perseverance and indomitable fighting spirit, successfully leaped onto the broad shoulders of the gigantic figure. Then, without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful punch, slamming it into the mysterious man's head. A dull thud resounded, and the mysterious man immediately lost consciousness. This thrilling battle ended in Luffy's victory, and the vast sea returned to its tranquil peace.
After the battle, Luffy stood firmly on the shoulders of the giant figure, laughing heartily to the sky. His cheerful laughter seemed to pierce the clouds and echo throughout the entire ocean. At this moment, the expedition members, who had regained their senses, quickly gathered around him, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster and deep gratitude towards Luffy.
Seeing this, Luffy scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, grinned to reveal a set of pearly white teeth, and said with a grin, "Oh dear, it's really no big deal!" However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, the huge, motionless figure suddenly trembled slightly. This sudden change startled everyone, and the tense atmosphere returned.
Luffy was the first to calm down. He jumped to the ground and shouted at the giant figure, "Hey, big guy, what's wrong? We're not enemies!" The giant figure slowly raised its hand, pointing to the outline of a blurry island in the distance. The expedition leader said thoughtfully, "Could it be trying to tell us there's something there? Maybe it's related to when we were being controlled." Luffy jumped up excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" The group boarded a small boat and headed towards the island. As they approached the island, they discovered a mysterious aura permeating it, and the plants and trees grew in strange shapes. Suddenly, many strange creatures surged out from all around, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards the group. Facing the situation, Luffy showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he stood tall and confidently assumed a fighting stance, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Come on! No matter who you are, I will defeat you all without hesitation!" Before he finished speaking, Luffy was already rubbing his fists together, ready to charge forward like an arrow released from a bow.
However, just as he was about to make a move, a small, exquisite creature suddenly leaped in front of him like a bolt of lightning. This little creature blinked its bright, intelligent eyes and cautiously extended its hand, offering Luffy a bead that shimmered with a mysterious light. Surprisingly, with the appearance of this bead, all the creatures that had been menacingly preparing to attack simultaneously stopped what they were doing.
Luffy, filled with suspicion, took the bead that emitted a strange light and examined it closely. At the same time, the expedition members behind him also gathered around, craning their necks to curiously scrutinize the mysterious bead. Just as everyone was bewildered by this sudden turn of events, the enormous figure that had been hidden in the darkness suddenly spoke in a deep, resonant voice: "This bead contains boundless power; it can unlock all the secrets hidden here..."
Despite the imposing and intimidating voice, Luffy felt no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, a barely concealed gleam of excitement flashed in his bright eyes. Then, with lightning speed, like a nimble cheetah, he leaped into the air and landed steadily atop the enormous figure. Once on his feet, he looked closely and was astonished to discover that this behemoth was actually an incredibly large, ancient sea beast covered in hard scales. However, the sea beast was currently unconscious, clearly under the control of the mysterious figure.
