"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Lu 1.1 shouted, leaping up and chasing after the fleeing enemy.
"Luffy, stop chasing!" Li An shouted.
However, Luffy did not stop. His heart was filled with anger, and he was determined to wipe out all these enemies.
Just as Luffy was about to catch up with the enemy, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness. The arrow flew towards Luffy's chest with incredible speed, leaving no time to dodge.
Chapter 216 Let's go back quickly.
"Luffy, watch out!" Li An shouted in alarm.
At that critical moment, Zoro suddenly rushed over. He used his sword to block the arrow, which grazed the blade with a sharp sound.
"Zoro, thank you," Luffy said gratefully.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go back." Zoro said, pulling Luffy back to the ship.
After a fierce battle, the Straw Hat Pirates finally repelled the enemy. Looking at the devastated battlefield before them, they were all filled with exhaustion.
"Is everyone alright?" Li An asked with concern as he looked at everyone.
"We're all fine," Luffy said with a smile.
"That's good." Li An breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
After the battle, Li An and his team obtained clues about the possible location where Guo Yao might be imprisoned. Without taking a break, they immediately headed in that direction.
The ship continued its journey on the turbulent sea, the sea breeze howling and the waves crashing against the hull. Li An stood at the bow, gazing ahead, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
"Guo Yao, you must wait for me, I will definitely rescue you," Li An silently prayed in his heart.
"Treasure Island is just ahead," Nami said solemnly, standing at the bow of the ship, her eyes fixed on the nautical chart in her hand. The sea breeze howled, making her orange hair fly wildly.
Li An gazed at the island, shrouded in mist and barely visible, and a sense of unease welled up within him. He clenched his fists, silently vowing, "Guo Yao, I will definitely rescue you."
The ship slowly approached the island, and even before it touched down, a sinister atmosphere emanated from it. Luffy jumped up excitedly, shouting, "Wow, this island looks so interesting! There's definitely a lot of fun to do!"
Zoro, looking wary, placed his hand on the three swords at his waist and whispered, "Be careful, something feels off about this island."
The group cautiously stepped onto the island, the ground beneath their feet covered in strange patterns, like some kind of ancient symbol. Suddenly, Lian's footing sank, and a huge spike shot out from the ground. He reacted with lightning speed, leaping backward in an instant, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Everyone be careful, there are traps everywhere!" Li An shouted.
Just then, the ground around them began to shake violently, and countless sharp spikes shot out from all directions. The Straw Hat Pirates sprang into action, and Luffy, using the power of his Gum-Gum Fruit, stretched out his arm and pulled everyone to safety.
As Nami dodged the traps, she complained, "What kind of place is this? It's full of deadly traps! If I had known it was this dangerous, I wouldn't have come."
Li An frowned, activating the system to quickly analyze the patterns of the traps. A flash of blue light appeared in his eyes, and a moment later, he shouted, "Everyone, follow me! Follow the route I'm pointing out; these traps follow a pattern!"
The group followed closely behind Li An, struggling to make their way across the perilous island. Every step felt like a brush with death. The tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, enveloping them completely. No one dared to relax for a moment, and their foreheads were covered in fine beads of sweat.
After proceeding cautiously for a while, a sudden commotion arose ahead. Li An and the others immediately stopped and hid behind a nearby boulder.
Chapter 217 We Cannot Act Rashly
"They're Blackbeard Teach's men!" Zoro said in a low voice, his eyes revealing a strong killing intent.
A group of pirates were gathered in front of a cave, seemingly guarding something. Li An's heart tightened; he guessed that Guo Yao was likely being imprisoned in this cave.
"Let's charge in!" Luffy rubbed his hands together, eager for battle.
Li An quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't rush. They outnumber us; we can't act rashly. Let me analyze their capabilities first."
As he spoke, he activated the system again, and data flashed rapidly before his eyes. After a moment, a confident smile appeared on his lips: "I know their weakness. Luffy, you're in charge of drawing their attention. Zoro, attack from the left, Nami, provide support from the rear, and I'll hold off their main force."
Everyone nodded and began to act according to Li An's plan. Luffy shouted and charged out like a cannonball, yelling, "You guys, hand over Guo Yao right now...!"
The Blackbeard Pirates were startled by the sudden attack and drew their weapons, preparing to fight back. Zoro appeared from the left like a ghost, his three swords gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and several pirates fell to his blades in an instant.
Li An then flashed to the front of the pirate crew's main force. He skillfully dodged the enemy's attacks while constantly searching for their weaknesses. Whenever the enemy launched an attack, he was able to accurately predict and counterattack.
"How can this guy be so troublesome!" a pirate shouted angrily, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Lian fought while simultaneously directing his men. His voice was calm and resolute, like a beacon in the darkness, guiding them: "Zoro, watch out for their coordination! Break through that gap! Luffy, use your Gum-Gum Rocket to disrupt their formation!"
After a fierce battle, Blackbeard Teach's men gradually lost ground and began to retreat. Ultimately, they all fell to the ground, incapacitated.
The cave door slowly opened, and Guo Yao rushed out. Her eyes were filled with surprise and emotion, tears welling up in them: "Li An, you've finally come!"
Li An quickly stepped forward, hugged Guo Yao tightly, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll never let you get hurt again."
The people around cheered for the victory. Luffy jumped up excitedly and shouted, "That's awesome! We won!" Guo Yao looked at Li An's heroic appearance with admiration in her eyes and thought to herself, "Li An, you are really amazing. I knew you would come to save me."
Battle for the Treasure Guardians
However, before anyone could celebrate, a tremendous roar came from the depths of the island. The ground began to tremble violently, and a gigantic figure slowly emerged from the mist.
"What...what is this?" Nami said in horror, her body trembling slightly.
A gigantic creature, exuding a mysterious aura, appeared before them. Its eyes gleamed red, filled with vigilance and hostility.
"This should be the treasure guardian," Li An said solemnly. He activated the system again, attempting to analyze the guardian's weaknesses.
Chapter 218 This thing is so powerful
The treasure guardian opened its gaping maw and roared, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that swept towards the group. Luffy and his crew hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but were forced back by the force of the attack.
"This thing is incredibly powerful!" Zoro gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.
Li An's eyes flashed with blue light as he continuously analyzed the Guardian's attack patterns and weaknesses. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "I've found its weakness! It has an energy core in its chest; attacking that will damage it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rallied and launched an attack on the treasure guardian. Luffy was the first to charge forward, using his Gum-Gum Machine Gun to rain down countless punches on the guardian. However, the guardian's defenses were incredibly strong, and Luffy's attacks seemed to have little effect on it.
Zoro brandished his three swords, trying to find an opportunity to attack the Guardian's weakness, but the Guardian was very agile and skillfully dodged each attack.
Nami, meanwhile, used the Weather Stick to create various weather effects, interfering with the Guardians' actions.
While dodging the guardians' attacks, Li An searched for the best opportunity to strike. He thought to himself, "I can't rush it; I must find that moment."
Just as the Guardian launched another attack, Li An spotted an opening. He flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, hurtling towards the Guardian's chest. In the instant before it reached him, he gathered all his strength and slammed a powerful punch into the Guardian's energy core.
With a deafening roar, the guardian's body trembled violently, and it let out a painful roar.
However, the guardian was not so easily defeated. Enraged, it swung its enormous claws, attacking Lian with ferocious fury. Lian was unable to dodge in time and was slashed on the arm by the claws, drawing blood.
"Li An!" Guo Yao cried out in alarm, her eyes filled with worry.
Li An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said through gritted teeth, "I'm fine. Everyone, keep attacking! We'll definitely defeat it!"
The group once again joined forces and launched a final attack on the guardian. After a fierce battle, the guardian's power gradually weakened, and its movements became sluggish.
"Now!" Li An shouted, and he, Luffy, Zoro, and the others launched their strongest attacks simultaneously. The three powerful forces converged and struck the guardian's energy core directly.
With a loud bang, the guardian crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of light and disappearing without a trace.
Exhausted, the group collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. They had succeeded; they had successfully defeated the powerful treasure guardian.
However, before they could even react, a group of marines suddenly appeared around them. Leading them was Vice Admiral Smoker, who looked at them coldly and said, "You pirates, today is your end!"
The waves crashed against the ship's hull with a dull thud, like the prelude to war. Li An stood at the bow, the sea breeze whipping his hair, a hint of unease in his eyes. Guo Yao beside him held his hand tightly, trying to offer him comfort.
"An, what should we do? The navy warships have completely surrounded us." Guo Yao's voice trembled slightly, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of worry.
Li An took a deep breath, his brow furrowed. He could feel the air around him seemingly frozen by the tense atmosphere, each breath carrying a heavy burden. "Don't panic, we'll definitely find a way," he whispered to Guo Yao, while rapidly searching for a solution in his mind.
Chapter 219 A Feeling of Reassurance
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates members had all gathered on the deck. Luffy stood in front of them, his face still bearing that optimistic smile. He excitedly shouted, "Haha, something fun is about to happen! Marines, bring it on!" He clenched his fists, eager to try, radiating an aura of fearlessness.
Zoro stood calmly to the side, his hand on his sword hilt, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, constantly alert to the movement around him. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It seems this is quite troublesome, but we won't be easily defeated." His tone was firm, giving people a sense of reassurance.
Nami, meanwhile, was checking the nautical charts and treasure. Her brow was furrowed, and her face was full of worry. "These marines are like ghosts, they can't let our treasure be lost," she muttered as she quickly organized the items.
The naval warships drew ever closer, their massive shadows looming over their vessels. Smoker stood at the bow of the flagship, his face a mask of anger and resolve, and roared, "Lian, this time you have no chance of escape! Surrender now!" His voice echoed across the sea, carrying a chilling power.
Looking at the situation before him, Li An knew he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible. He closed his eyes, activated the system, and quickly analyzed the weaknesses in the navy's formation. A moment later, he opened his eyes, a glint of light in them.
"I have a plan!" Lian shouted, his voice firm and powerful, drawing everyone's attention. "Luffy, you lead the charge towards the Marine warships and create chaos. Zoro, you cover Luffy from the side. Remember, don't linger in battle; our objective is to break through." He commanded methodically.
Luffy jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Alright! Watch my Gum-Gum Rocket!" With that, he clenched his fists, stretched his arms out rapidly, and charged towards the Navy warship like a cannonball. His figure was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Zoro drew three swords, his eyes sharpening. He followed closely behind Luffy, shouting, "Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: One Great Three Thousand Worlds!" Instantly, the swords flashed, and the soldiers charging towards the Marines fell one after another.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Li An quickly surveyed his surroundings. He spotted a large group of reefs in the distance and an idea formed in his mind. He turned to Guo Yao and said, "Yao, help me create a false impression. We need to make the navy think we're breaking out from the flank." Guo Yao nodded firmly, and together with Li An, they began their operation.

Using props on the ship and the surrounding environment, they created a thick cloud of smoke and fire, making it appear as if the ship's flank was under attack. Seeing this, the sailors shifted their attention to the flank and strengthened their defenses.

"Now!" Li An shouted. "Nami, adjust the course, we'll break through from the rear!" Nami quickly turned the helm, and the ship sped off towards the rear.
However, just as they were about to break through the encirclement, something unexpected happened. A fast boat shot up from behind like an arrow; it was Smoker's vessel. Smoker stood on the boat, his face filled with anger and resentment, and shouted, "Lian, you're not getting away!" His body turned into smoke, rapidly approaching Lian's boat.
Lian's expression changed; he knew how formidable Smoker was. "Everyone, prepare for battle! Smoker is catching up!" he shouted, drawing his weapon, Weapon Six, from his waist.
