Capítulo 23: Big Elimination Cannon
．．．．．．．
Rei ran towards his target leaving only white trail behind. before he jumped towards the deck, Rei attached his chakra onto a piece of drifting wood right beside the battleship!
'Bam!'
when Rei leaped onto the battleships deck, he stomped his foot right at one of the crew's face whom happened stood in his way.
unsurprisingly for Rei, his act was captured by the other crews!
"ENEMY! HE'S HERE!"
the crews began to shout a warning, allerting all of the marines on board! just when they begun to get ready to engage with their enemy, Rei vanished just like a ghost!
Rei wasn't a fool, he had no strength to deal with all of the marines on the battleships deck single handedly. and so, his solution towards his target was simple, blow them up!
when Rei was captured by Lt.Commander Hardy, he had a blast exploring his ship despite having a 'prisoner' status. on the journey towards 8th branch marine base, he had enough time to know every nook and crany of the marine battleships which Rei thought has the same standard structure.
and how can someone single handedly blown up the huge battleship? the answer was Gunpowder Storage! every battleships had one such storage and thats where Rei currently went into.
Rei dashed towards the gunpowder storage at the gun deck below, those who saw him could only described him as a white trail, like a ghost. using his incredible speed he took only an instant to arrived right at the front of reinforced door of gunpowder storage.
'SLASH!'
'CRUMMBLEE!'
the reinforced door lock was no match against Rei's chakra coated chōkuto! Then he raised his foot and kicked the door away.
what Rei saw inside were rows and rows of gunpowder stored within a barrels, it lined up neatly on the huge storage cabinet. Rei punched through the nearest barrel and letting the granuled black gunpowder fell on the floor.
with a swish of his chōkuto, he flicked it towards the fallen door metal hinge and instantly creating a spark!
'Hissssssss....'
the hissing sound of gunpowder been ignited could be heard faintly, and Rei simply swapped his poisition with a drifted piece of wood from earlier using Kawarimi.
'Splash!'
Rei's boot splashed on the seawater outside. without waiting for his action results, he set his sight onto the next big target and dashed straight towards it.
onboard one of the other battleship, one if the marine officer onboard frowned when he sees through his binocular,
"captain are you sure this is necessary? i can't see the target at all! only our men were being the victim of our own artillery!"
the captain of the battleship puffed out smoke from his mouth and answered nonchalantly,
"justice is absolute, even with how cruel it is!"
the officer tried to reasoned back, "but captain! they're still our men! they also has family waiting for them back home!"
the captain glanced at his officer, he flicked his cigarette onto deck and crush it with his boot,
"now, lads you see...." however his speech were interrupted by a sudden huge explosion from the ships right next to them!
'KAAAAABOOOOOOOM!!!'
「Ding! you have defeated the enemies! you got 103 G-pts, would you like to use it?
current G-pts : 104pts 」
the sudden shockwave produced out of the thunderous explosion made everyone onboard flew out from their position!
'WHOOOOOOSSSH...!'
"wha? WHAT HAPPENED?!" the captain exclaimed in shock as he sprung back on his feet and ran towards the ships railing only to see the front part of the ships next to them has gone, engulfed in a ball of flame!
the casualties were unknown. however, the captain could see that poor battleship has begun to sunk!
"what happened? why?" the captain stammered clearly agitated.
"the gunpowder room has exploded." said someone interrupted his thought right next to him.
when the captain turned his head, he saw Rei folding his hand besides him, he felt uneasy when he looked at Rei whom suddenly appeared there.
"YOU...." however Rei interupted him by saying something outrageous!
" i already set your gunpowder storage aflame, you have 15 seconds to evacuate your crew."
after saying his piece, Rei vanished from the spot, leaving the horror laden face of the captain!
without anymore time to waste, the captain shouted on top of his lungs!
"EVERYONE ABANDON SHIP! JUMPS TO WATER NOW!!!"
at first, no one registered what the captain had shouted, and yet when they saw their own captain jumping out of the battleship into the sea, they followed his act without question.
'KAAAAABBOOOOMM!!!'
「Ding! you have defeated the enemies! you got 76 G-pts, would you like to use it?
current G-pts : 180pts 」
the formations bombardment hasn't been gone for more than 1 minute. just when the 1st battleship exploded however, everyone paused in what were they doing.
the bombardments stopped and the marine crews were confused of what had happened.
and when the 2nd battleships exploded, there was an uproar on every battleships within the formation!
on top of the marine mothership, Nelson were seen gritted his teeth badly, his fat face was twisted because of rage!
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! CAN ANYBODY TELL ME!!!" Nelson shrieked out of control while he pulled out his hair out in frustration!
"it seems, 4th and 6th battleships on the left wing side of formation exploded, sir." answered one of Nelson's officer while using a binocular trying to assess the situation.
'CLANK!'
Nelson threw his binocular towards the speaking officer's head and shrieked once again,
"I CAN SEE THAT! ASSHOLE! I ASK, WHY!"
"ADMIRAL! LOOK! IT SEEMS THE CRIMINAL WERE THE ONE DOING THIS!" another officer yelled while pointing his hands towards a white figure running on water.
Nelson grabbed the new binocular forcefully, his rage grew incessantly when he saw Rei running on water towards his next target.
"GET MY BIG ELIMINATION CANNON LOADED!" Nelson yelled,
his officers could be seen looking at each other clearly unsure if they need to do what Nelson had ordered.
seeing all of his officers dawdling around, Nelson couldn't help but fliped his table in rage!
'BANG!'
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? DO IT NOW YOU BASTARDS!"
terrified by his behavior, Nelson's officers literary flew around like chicks in front of the predator!
soon after, several marine crews pulling a special cannon which Nelson mentioned. by using a pulley they brought the cannon which was gigantic! far bigger than an ordinary cannon!
Nelson's eyes flashed slightly when he saw his special cannon taken out towards the gallery's deck, soon after his attention returned at Rei.
Rei didn't use his shunshin technique anymore after he noticed the bombardments had stopped, giving a slight relief for the still surviving marines. besides, Rei also noticed his chakra reserves had running low, even with his passive ability to absorbs the surrounding chakra, it still couldn't offset what he currently used.
to walk on water, Rei needs to continously emits his chakra out from the bottom of his soles, coupled with him coating his chōkuto by chakra while using Shunshin no Jutsu. his chakra consumption was tremendousl!
by the time Rei leaped towards his next target, Nelson's crew on top of the gallery began loading the special cannon by lots and lots amount of gunpowder.
"HEAAAVE! HOOO..."
several muscular crews carried a huge chests which laid a particular huge iron ball within. they loaded the iron ball into the special cannon mouth and aimed it towards the direction Nelson's ordered.
at Rei side, after he leaped inside the 3rd battleship. he went immediately towards the gun deck below. however,
"Hardy?" Rei paused on his track as he saw Lt.Commander Hardy were being tied around a wooden mast below!
Hardy who doesn't wear his usual Marine uniform looked haggard, he glanced at Rei and raised his eyebrow.
"Rei?" Hardy hasn't drink anything in these past few days, his raspy voice felt unfamiliar on Rei's ears.
both of them keep their silent for a few moments, until Rei opened his mouth first,
"you look awful."
Hardy didn't answer, his piercing eyes looked straight towards Rei's.
just when Rei wanted to say something, the battleships marines whose witnessed him entered the ship earlier finaly catching up to him.
"THERE HE IS!"
"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL!"
"DON'T LET HIM NEAR THE BLACK STORAGE!"
marines could be seen running towards Rei on the gun deck below, they were fully armed and ready, and yet one could also see their pale face with a tinge of nervousness on it.
Rei smirked when he saw the marines coming closer and closer. just when he wanted to leave from the spot, in an instant Rei felt his sense of danger warning him like crazy!
and yet the danger he felt wasn't coming from the bunch of marines whose coming over, but from something else! something so terrible making his hairs stood on end!
without any warning whatsoever, Rei slashed his chōkuto to the rope which tied Hardy's hand and cutting him loose! Hardy with his questioning gaze could only saw Rei grabbed his shoulder and moving his fingers so fast without knowing what those movements meant.
however at that moment,
'pooof!'
both Rei and Hardy suddenly vanished from the spot! leaving only a piece of wet wooden block and giving the dumbfounded marines a fright!
"gho....GHOOOOST!" one of the crew steped away in fear and run without looking back!
witnessing the bizzare scene coupled with panicked action of their mates, the rest also abandoned their weapons and just followed the earlier crew to fled from there!
outside, Rei used his kawarimi and tagged Hardys along with him bringing them both outside.
"Blarghhhhh*." Hardy vommited violently from the sudden movements of kawarimi. however, no substance coming out from his mouth.
however just when Hardy wanted to make out anything into his senses, he heard Rei exclaimed urgently!
"QUICK! DIIIIIVE!"
Rei pulled the still disorientated Hardy underwater! and when Rei began to dive with Hardy in tow trying to distance themself away from the battleship,
'KAAAAABOOOOOOOM!!!'
this time, Rei hadn't set the gunpowder alight! and yet the battleship still exploded! proving Rei senses of danger was correct!
even underwater, Rei and Hardy could feel the seacurrent moved violently from the explosions just now!
after several distance away, both of them finaly resurface only to witnessed the earlier battleship had been wrecked beyond recognition! the battleship only leaving its hull burning as it begun to sunk slowly into the depths.
Rei was befuddled, and a moment later he heard Hardy startled voice besides him.
"Bastard! thats Big Elimination Cannon!"
at that moment, Rei was hit with a realization! in anime, Nelson had a special cannon on board, its size was massive compared to a normal cannon. however, the anime didn't shows its power as Usopp from the Strawhats sniped it down rendering it useless.
but now, Rei could finaly witnessed its might from a close distance! its power were so terrible it could make the battleship huge wooden body vanished with only one shot!
suddenly the sky was raining with wooden splinters and broken pieces of metal, Rei also witnessed red tinged seawater dripping down from the sky!
Hardy grunted heavily besides Rei, and he saw the former eyes were red clearly holding his tears badly. Rei also felt an unprecedented feeling of sorrow when he thought about it.
suddenly,
「Ding! your disciple has been mortally wounded! would you see the disciple panel?」
just as soon as Rei saw a system notification sudden appearance, his countenance turned dark instantly! there was an obvious pressure appeared surrounding him, even Hardy paused slightly as he saw besides him, Rei face grew ever so unsightly!
barely holding his anger, Rei grunted slowly,
"disciple panel open."
「Ding!
Disciple : Apis
Status : Exhausted, (WARNING) Mortally Wounded.
Live Moments : (in battle) 」
Apis "Mortally Wounded" was so jarringly red! displayed on his system panel. Rei gritted his teeth so hard it bleeds out of his lips!
