Chapter 61 The 4th Person! The Aura of a Ghost!
He originally thought that this journey of "calling for help" across time and space would only involve a brief encounter with Luffy at his peak.
Unexpectedly, another unexpected person appeared, leading to this pleasant surprise.
He slowly raised his eyelids, ignoring Luffy who looked wary beside him and Marco who was about to go up and greet Luffy.
His gaze pierced through dozens of meters, his Observation Haki ignoring all physical obstacles, fixing directly on the ruins.
Then he smiled.
It was a smile that carried a hint of amusement, a touch of curiosity, and an undeniable, powerful confidence.
"The friends who followed behind."
Chen Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Having watched the spectacle for so long, it's time to show up, isn't it?"
His tone was as relaxed as if he were greeting an old friend.
"There's no need to hide anymore, you've been discovered."
The words fell.
Marco's expression changed drastically in an instant!
"What did you say, Chen Ye?!"
He turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror. There were only the three of us here!
"Where is anyone else?!"
Chen Ye did not answer Marco.
His gaze was fixed on the location indicated by the system.
As the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and a top-tier fighter with countless battles under his belt, Marco has absolute confidence in his Observation Haki.
But from beginning to end, he didn't sense any life force other than the three of them in this area!
How is that possible!
Marco's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately pushed his Observation Haki to its limit!
An invisible sense of perception, like a fine, dense net, spreads and scans wildly in all directions from his center!
Every inch of land must be filtered!
Explore one pebble at a time!
however……
No!
There's nothing there!
Apart from Chen Ye and Luffy, whose life force was as vigorous as the sun, there was no other living creature in this area!
Marco's vigilance instantly increased.
If Chen Ye wasn't joking...
That leaves only one possibility.
The strength, or rather the ability to conceal himself, of that hidden fourth person far exceeded the scope of his perception!
The thought sent a chill down Marco's spine and up to the top of his head!
An enemy that he couldn't even detect... what kind of terrifying existence must that be?!
He must be a terrifying guy!
Unlike Marco's shock, Luffy was purely excited.
He didn't understand what concealment or perception meant, but he understood Chen Ye's words.
He realized that other guys had come with him too!
A fierce fighting spirit instantly ignited in Luffy's large, clear black and white eyes. He grinned, revealing a challenging smile, and scanned the surrounding ruins with burning eyes.
"Come out! Let's fight!"
The boy's voice, still brimming with fearless pride, echoed in the silent area.
However, there was no response.
The ruins remained silent, as if Chen Ye's words had been spoken to thin air.
The atmosphere grew increasingly eerie and heavy.
Marco's nerves were stretched to the limit; his hands were beginning to glow with pale blue flames, ready to transform into a phoenix at any moment.
Only Chen Ye remained calm and composed.
He looked at the silent ruins, and his smile deepened.
"It seems like a very cautious friend."
He spoke to himself as if to himself, and then took a step forward.
Boom!
The step was light, but when it landed on the ground, it felt as if it had stepped on everyone's heart.
"Since you're unwilling to come out yourself..."
Chen Ye slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, and aimed it at the ruins.
"Then I'll have no choice but to ask you to come out."
The moment he finished speaking.
An indescribable, almost tangible, terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the depths of the ruins without warning!
That wasn't the oppressive aura of Conqueror's Haki, nor was it murderous intent.
It was an ancient, purer kind of aura, seemingly originating from the netherworld... a ghostly, divine aura!
It was cold and damp!
overbearing!
Sharp!
The moment this aura appeared, the temperature in the entire area seemed to drop by tens of degrees!
The air was filled with something different from Conqueror's Haki!
Marco's face drained of all color in an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and he cried out in alarm:
"This aura is..."
Only Luffy's expression slowly changed from solemn to smiling, because he sensed that the aura contained a sharpness capable of cutting through anything!
However, this aura was very familiar to him!
Beneath the ruins.
In a deathly silence of shadow.
A pair of eyes, sharp as a hawk's and cold as a knife's edge, slowly opened.
