By now, a large group of people had gathered near the bridge of the upper city, their eyes filled with worry and confusion. The moment they spotted the Straw Hat crew, a collective sigh of relief swept through the crowd. Luffy wasted no time. Spotting Paulie among the group, he immediately demanded a ship, his voice carrying the urgency of the situation.
"We need a ship! Now!" Luffy's tone left no room for argument.
Paulie, still reeling from the earlier chaos, shook his head. "You're out of your mind, Straw Hat! It's suicide to sail in this storm. The waves will tear any ship apart before you even make it out of the harbor!"
But Luffy wasn't backing down. His resolve was unshakable, his eyes fierce. "I don't care! We're going after Robin, and we'll take a ship by force if we have to!" His fists clenched, ready to make good on his threat.
Just as the tension reached its peak, Kokoro appeared from the shadows. "There's another way," she said, her voice cutting through the noise.
The crew turned to her, hope flickering in their eyes. Kokoro didn't waste any time. She gestured for them to follow, leading the way through the winding streets of Water 7.
They arrived at an old, nearly forgotten hangar, the massive doors creaking as Kokoro pushed them open. Inside, a large, rusting train sat dormant. .
Kokoro pointed to the train. "This is the first Sea Train, the Rocketman. Its engine is powerful, too powerful to control easily, so it was decommissioned."
The crew stepped inside the hangar, their eyes widening as they took in the sight of the massive machine. It was clear this train was built for speed and power, an unstoppable force meant to cut through even the most treacherous seas.
As they moved closer, a familiar figure stepped out from the shadows. It was Iceburg, his face pale from his injuries but determined nonetheless. "I had a feeling you would need this," he said. "So, I've been preparing it. Rocketman is ready to go."
Luffy's face lit up with a wide grin, his usual energy returning in full force. "Thanks, Ice-uncle!" he exclaimed, his gratitude clear as day. The rest of the crew shared his relief—this train was their best chance to catch up to the Sea Train carrying Robin.
Without wasting another moment, the crew boarded Rocketman. But they weren't the only ones with a score to settle.
As they prepared to depart, a group of Galley-La shipwrights and Franky's men appeared at the hangar entrance. Their faces were of anger and determination. "We're coming with you!" one of the Galley-La shipwrights called out. "Those bastards will pay back." Franky's group also begged to tag along.
The Straw Hats exchanged glances, realizing these weren't just idle words. These men were just as determined to get their friend back as they were to save Robin. Luffy nodded, giving his approval. "Get on, then! We're not leaving anyone behind!"
With everyone on board, the Rocketman roared to life, its powerful engine shaking the very ground beneath them. The crew braced themselves as the train jolted forward, its wheels screeching against the stone.
As Rocketman hit the rails, the crew braced themselves for the journey ahead. The second wave of Aqua Laguna loomed on the horizon, a massive wall of water nearly a hundred feet high. The sight alone sent shivers through the Galley-La workers and Franky's men onboard. One of the workers panicked and fired a cannon, but the shot was useless against the towering wave—it was like throwing a pebble at the ocean.
Luffy stepped forward, moving to the front of the train with Coby and Zoro by his side. "What's three times 108?" he asked, a playful grin tugging at his lips.
Coby chuckled, recognizing the scene. "324."
Luffy groaned, "Too hard to say."
Zoro, ever calm, drew his swords, the metal gleaming in the dim light. "Then change it."
Luffy's grin widened. "Yosh! 400 it is then."
Luffy and Zoro charged up their attacks simultaneously. "Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy began, his fist pulling back, stretching as it gathered force.
"400 Pound..." Zoro continued, his swords humming with power as he prepared to strike.
Coby, standing between them, inhaled deeply, focusing all his breath and energy into the center of their combined attack. The air around them seemed to vibrate with the sheer force they were building.
"Siege Cannon!" Coby yelled with a smile, releasing his breath in a powerful blast that merged with Luffy and Zoro's attacks.
The three forces combined into a single, devastating blast that rocketed towards the oncoming wave. The impact was immediate and explosive, a massive hole tearing through the wave as if it were paper. The wave split, allowing Rocketman to surge through the gap without a hitch, the train speeding forward on the newly cleared path.
Luffy, Coby, and Zoro stepped onto the Rocketman. The Galley-La workers and Franky's group watched in awed silence, still processing the power they had just witnessed. Nami approached Luffy, handing him the Den Den Mushi. "It's Sanji," she said, her expression tense.
Luffy grabbed the receiver. "Sanji, what's the situation?"
Sanji's voice came through, calm but with an edge of seriousness. "They're holding Robin on the train. I'm on it, but it's a mess here."
Luffy nodded, his grip tightening on the receiver. "Give them hell."
Zoro frowned, stepping closer. "Oi, that's dangerous. Tell that ero-cook to sit still until we arrive."
Sanji's teasing face reflected through the Den Den Mushi. "Is Marimo worried about my well-being?"
Zoro's expression darkened. "Like hell I am."
Luffy, caught between the two, cut in. "Zoro, what would you do if you were in his place?"
Sanji's tone grew serious. "Yeah, even if you ordered me, I wouldn't stop."
Soon a call came from above Rocketman. Two wagons from the Puffing Tom were left abandoned on the tracks ahead. Without missing a beat, Luffy shot up, launching himself toward the wagons. He quickly scanned the interiors, confirming that none of the crew members were trapped inside. Satisfied, he rocketed back to Rocketman, landing with a small smile.
"Zoro, it's on the way. Cut it," Luffy commanded.
Zoro nodded, unfazed. "Aye, aye, Captain." He drew two swords, adopting his Iai stance, his body calm but ready to strike. In an instant, he unleashed his attack. "Rashomon!" he called out as his swords sliced cleanly through the air. The two wagons were cleaved in half, each piece falling to opposite sides of the tracks.
The onlookers—Galley-La workers, Franky's men, and the few Marines and agents trapped in those wagons—watched in stunned silence, their awe evident as Zoro calmly sheathed his blades, his eyes focused on the rails ahead.
As Rocketman sped forward, the next obstacle appeared on the horizon—a lone man walking directly on the rail, oblivious to the impending danger. The man's tattered Marine coat billowed in the wind, and even from a distance, Coby recognized him. It was Captain T-Bone, a Marine renowned for his dedication and unwavering sense of justice.
Coby, recognizing T-Bone instantly, smirked. "It's my time." Without another word, he leaped off Rocketman, landing on the rails with a solid thud, blocking T-Bone's path.
T-Bone's eyes narrowed as he recognized the young pirate. "Coby... the Copy Ninja."
Coby didn't waste time with pleasantries. He closed the distance between them in a flash, his movements swift. T-Bone barely had time to react as Coby launched a single, devastating punch straight to his gut. The force of the blow was enough to lift T-Bone off the ground, his eyes wide with shock as the wind was knocked out of him.
