Kapitel 146: Chapter 146: Pursuit Failed, Setting Sail Again.
"Stop them!!"
"Don't let these pirates get near the sea train!"
The sounds of gunfire and clashing swords echoed in the station. However, the fifty Marine soldiers and one hundred agents couldn't stop the fully intact Straw Hat crew! Even though they were all agile and determined elites.
As for their experts:"I hate underhanded sword techniques—"
"Right Angle Flash - Penn Air Slash!"
A long sword swung in the air, creating a right-angle sword wave, then a rectangular slash that cut towards Zoro! However, Zoro fearlessly countered with his own attack, his three swords striking fiercely.
"Three-Sword Style - Demon Slash!"
Zoro charged into the opponent's sword light, his three swords skillfully deflecting the long sword, then twisting it violently.
Damn, he found an opening—Snap,
The long sword shattered, and Marine Captain T. Penn was shocked. The sharp katana had already cut across his chest! Blood spurted out, draining his strength rapidly.
Clang!
Using a short sword to support himself, the kneeling Marine Captain refused to fall because:"I can still fight!"
"If we let you pirates run wild, who knows how many civilians will suffer! Even in this unjust world, I want to prove that there is still justice here—"
Thud,The back of the sword struck his head, forcing Captain T. Penn to collapse. Behind him was Zoro, who had removed his bandana.
"Sorry, but we are the ones suffering injustice, right? Although it doesn't matter to me."
Zoro's goal has always been to become the world's greatest swordsman!
Not some hero who maintains world peace.
On the other side..."Ramen Kenpo—"
"Plastic Surgery SHOOT - Eyes - Nose - Cheeks - Mouth - Teeth - Chin!!"
Sanji's six-legged kick landed on the face of the CP7 spy leader, the ramen martial artist Waje, sending him flying. He touched his now handsome face, furious!
"How dare you ruin my face! I won't forgive you—"
...No, no, no, this is plastic surgery, right? It has to be plastic surgery?!
Could this be the legendary 'Face-Altering Kick'...A guy with bulging eyes, buck teeth, and a horse face with three chins was kicked by Sanji into a handsome face. With this skill, why be a chef? Wouldn't he make a great plastic surgeon?
While internally complaining, Roman sprinted forward at high speed! With the White Knight's super high defense, he completely ignored the attacks from Marine soldiers and CP agents, cutting through the battlefield like lightning, leaving a trail of fallen figures in his wake.
In comparison, Luffy was even more terrifying!
Amidst the flurry of punches, figures were sent flying! With Luffy's physical strength, even a casual punch was a lethal attack. It was time to test the toughness of these 'elite' soldiers~~
On the other hand, Nami was too slow to act, and by the time she was ready, most of the enemies were already down...Unstoppable, sweeping through all obstacles!
——————"It seems the escort troops have been completely wiped out."
On the rapidly departing sea train, the CP9 members breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a sense of shame.
For these 'legal' assassins who prioritized orders above all else, cutting their losses to complete the mission was the best choice when facing unexpected strong enemies. But 'the best' often didn't feel comfortable.
"Be careful, the enemy is not an ordinary ability user."
By the window, Rob Lucci watched the Straw Hat crew break through to the station with vigilance. As expected! The white-armored knight in the lead grabbed a long spear from thin air and made a throwing motion.
"Go, White Hound!"
As Roman's voice came from the helmet, he threw the spear with great force.
The armored knight's body seemed to spring back, releasing a powerful force that straightened his body and sent the spear flying.
As the spear flew out, a circle of silver light burst forth, like a straight silver beam, making a sound like a mountain collapsing. The sea below the silver light began to crack and splash! The silver light carved a straight trench in its path.
The spear, like a terrifying missile, chased after the distant sea train!
"Here it comes,"
Rob Lucci's figure flashed outside the carriage, instantly entering his 'half-beast' form, and kicked out at the incoming spear.
"Rankyaku 'Giant Bird'!"
This was Lucci's special Rankyaku extension technique, kicking out a giant bird-shaped Rankyaku. Its power could easily cut through the hundred-meter-wide, tens-of-meters-thick iron plates covering Marine warships! One kick had the combat power of a Marine Rear Admiral.
Even a slightly weaker Vice Admiral wouldn't be much stronger.
Boom—A huge explosion erupted where the two forces met, powerful and resonant! The sound of the spear and Rankyaku clashing wasn't something gunpowder could produce. Meanwhile, a figure was already running through the air towards the sea train.
Yes, 'running'!
And among the Straw Hat crew, the only one who could do this was:"Sanji, be careful!"
With the 'Jet Dials' on his shoes continuously spewing out scorching white airwaves, Sanji ran through the air towards the sea train as if he had mastered Geppo.
But facing the continuous Rankyaku attacks from the opponents, he couldn't even get close. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the sea train sped away and then reluctantly returned to the station.
But it doesn't matter, after all, whether it's Roman's spear throw or Sanji's aerial approach, they were just 'distractions.'
"Did you shoot it over, Us... Sogeking?"
Facing Roman's question, the long-nosed figure beside him, wearing a mask and carrying a giant slingshot, gave a thumbs up.
"OK."
On the distant sea train carriage, an inconspicuous white arrow was stuck on it.
"Good," Roman said, closing his eyes to sense for a moment before looking at the others who had finished their battle.
"I have good news and bad news."
"The good news is, I can locate the sea train. If we catch up, we can rescue Robin."
"Then what are we waiting for, set sail—"
Facing Luffy's shout, Roman had to remind him.
"Luffy, we don't have a ship."
You just 'lost' the Merry to Usopp, so what are we going to use to go to sea?
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Luffy's jaw dropped to his chest in shock.
"Can't we use your 'Going Merry' to catch up?"
"...Theoretically, yes, but you have to consider the upcoming battles! If I carry you all the way to Enies Lobby, I'll be exhausted."
"Ah, if you're tired, just eat some meat and you'll be energized!"
...Sorry, I haven't learned 'Seimei Kikan Eating Version'!
"Hey, Luffy!"
Nami rubbed her temples beside him.
"Can you at least consider us 'ordinary people'~~"
You, an ordinary person with lightning and thunder..."In any case, we should get a ship. And—"
Roman pointed to the increasingly high waves outside. Saying 'stormy seas' was an understatement. The entire ocean seemed to be rolling, with mountain-like waves rising and falling. To be safe, we should use the abandoned sea train 'Rocketman' from the original story. "So, let's find the mayor here. See if we can..."
'Wait, Roman.'
??
Roman and Sogeking turned around in shock. Although Usopp, disguised as 'Sogeking,' had his face covered by a mask, his trembling showed his inner turmoil. —Because in their 'sight,' a 'child' holding a wooden mallet and wearing a raincoat stood by the nearby shore.
Could it be the Merry's ship spirit?!
But it shouldn't be, Roman, wrapped in the White Knight, frowned.
Usopp could see it because he had always been the Straw Hat crew's 'shipwright.' The Going Merry held his longing for his hometown and Kaya. But why could I...
'Roman, if it weren't for your help along the way, I wouldn't have sailed this far.'The child's voice was light, as if it would dissipate with the wind.
'Please help me once more, to save our companions, I can still hold on!'"Sogeking!"
Roman, wrapped in the 'White Knight,' turned to the cloaked and masked figure beside him. Although both were in 'disguise,' they undoubtedly knew each other's identities.
"We need to borrow the 'Going Merry' to get Robin back. What about Usopp..."
"Usopp agreed!"
"No... Usopp agreed to let me use his ship when he left, so—"
"Please take the Merry."
...
"Luffy, what do you think?"
Facing the gazes of Roman, Usopp, and a blurry child figure, Luffy pressed his straw hat and grinned.
"Of course, let's go get our companion back together!"
