"This is the main gate, calling the commander!"
Spandam, who was in high spirits, casually picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"What's wrong?"
"Reporting, there's an intruder!"
?
"Calm down, you're the government's elite, take down the intruder!"
"Commander, the intruder is—"
The Den Den Mushi transmitted the sounds of battle and the voices of panicked soldiers.
"It's the Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 100 million!!"
??
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned. Especially Robin and Franky, who had just been brought to Enies Lobby. They had just arrived, and the rescue team was already here. — So fast?
"Calm down, are so many of you afraid of just one person?"
Spandam shouted angrily.
"Report the number of casualties!"
Hmm, since they dared to break into Enies Lobby to rescue someone, they must be quite capable..."Four... four hundred..."
"What? Say that again!"
The agent on the other end of the Den Den Mushi hesitated while dodging and carefully observing Luffy, who was clearing a large area with a 'Gomu Gomu no Fireworks'.
"Five—"
Bang!
A brick, sent flying by Luffy's punch, instantly knocked out the reporting agent, leaving his report unfinished.
"Five? Five people~~"
What, only five casualties.
"Hahaha, Nico Robin." Spandam looked smugly at the thoughtful Robin, "It's a pity that your comrades came all this way to save you, but only managed to cause five 'casualties'."
"Well, they did their best against the elite forces of Enies Lobby. Hahahaha~~~"
...The CP9 members all rolled their eyes at their idiotic superior.
From what they knew of the Straw Hat crew, the agent was clearly about to say 'five hundred'. But never mind, let the ordinary soldiers wear them down a bit first...---"Stop!"
"Who are you?"
"Fire, fire, it's a pirate ship—"
As the Going Merry rapidly approached, it was noticed by the soldiers and agents at the main gate of Enies Lobby. However:
"Don't worry, they can't get past the fence!"
Around the perimeter of Enies Lobby was a tall, thick iron fence. The black metal gleamed coldly, with rows of sharp spears pointing skyward. For an ordinary ship, it was indeed an insurmountable obstacle, but:"Get ready, everyone!"
With a slap of his hands on the paper-covered Merry, Roman's creations sprang to life! Sheets of paper rapidly moved forward, forming a long 'paper bridge' that connected to the fence and extended over the main gate of Enies Lobby—"Paper Dance - Paper Road as Bridge!"
Charge!
Without needing Roman to say anything, the others immediately ran across the 'paper bridge' he had created towards Enies Lobby! As more and more paper was used, what was left outside the fence was:A tattered sailboat.
It wouldn't be surprising if it sank into the sea at any moment.
"Merry,"
Standing up, Roman, who was the last to leave, turned back.
"We're going to fight, you—"
"Take care!"
Clatter~~~Sheets of white paper carried Roman forward, causing the temporary 'bridge' to start retracting towards the island.
"Stop them!"
"Fire, fire—damn, bullets are useless..."
"Use cannons, fire the cannons!!"
As Roman and his group broke through from above, the soldiers and agents below immediately poured bullets onto the 'paper bridge' overhead. Unfortunately, their efforts were all in vain against the current Roman.
Outside the fence, the abandoned sailboat drifted with the waves, gradually enveloped in mist. In the shadows, a child in a raincoat could be seen hammering away at the ship's hull.
'Roman, Usopp, Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Robin...'Ding, ding, ding~~Wait for me———————"Gomu Gomu no-Gatling Gun!"
The rain of punches instantly sent a group of elite agents flying! But more soldiers kept coming, annoying Luffy.
"Robin, where's Robin!!"
"It looks like Luffy needs help clearing the area,"
Standing on the gate, Roman stopped Zoro and Sanji from taking action.
"Leave the small fry to Nami and me. You guys break through ahead to help Luffy—"
With that, Roman clapped his hands.
"Paper Dance—"
Rustle, rustle~~~~~The flying papers filled the battlefield below, quickly forming into human shapes.
White warriors wielding weapons appeared out of thin air! Rows and columns of swordsmen charging with swords and blades; archers with bows and arrows ready to fire; armored soldiers with heavy shields forming a front line; and the 'White Knights' with ornate patterns, holding swords with an imposing presence!
"Paper Dance - Royal Guard! Move out—"
With Roman's command, swords and shields clashed, armor thundered, and the silent charge began!
Led by the 'White Knights,' the paper soldiers formed an unstoppable steel torrent, crushing everything in their path and attacking the Marine soldiers and elite agents from all directions!
Their cold and ruthless power destroyed everything, their essence conquered all, and their might was unstoppable.
"Interesting,"
Zoro glanced at Roman's paper army. Compared to the World Government's small fry, this precise and deadly army intrigued him more and stirred his fighting spirit.
"Wow!!! So cool!!"
Chopper's eyes sparkled with stars as he admired the army that began charging without hesitation at Roman's command.
"Let my army clear the way,"
With a thought, Roman's paper soldiers pushed the government soldiers aside, creating a path in the middle.
"You guys go help Luffy first. Nami, start preparing for a large-scale attack!"
"Got it!" X4Hearing that Nami was preparing a 'large-scale attack,' Zoro, Sanji, Sogeking, and Chopper didn't hesitate and immediately ran along the path Roman created, fearing they might get caught in the attack if they were too slow! Because:"My safety is in your hands, Roman 'Knight.'"
Facing Nami's teasing, Roman placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly in a formal manner.
"At your service, my lady."
!
Nami closed her eyes and focused on controlling the book in her hands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"Whirlwind, dance in my hands."
As Nami opened the book, a tornado shot up into the sky! Initially, it wasn't very strong, but under Nami's control, it kept stirring and drawing in the surrounding air, growing thicker and larger! Even the clouds around were being sucked into the increasingly massive tornado.
"What is that?"
"It must be a Devil Fruit user!"
"Hurry, interrupt that user—"
The surrounding agents were experienced, and the Marine soldiers were brave fighters. They could clearly see that the orange-haired girl with her hair flying and her clothes fluttering, holding a book, was the source of the tornado. But:
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—Pure white arrows shot out in all directions! The military crossbows made of paper were powerful enough to pierce flesh within a hundred meters, and some elite archers could even shatter rocks! These puppets, controlled by Roman's thoughts, fearlessly began to shoot back at the Marines.
Unlike the soldiers who could be injured and panic, these puppets mechanically drew their bows and shot. Their mission was simple and straightforward.
Occasionally, a few bullets from sharpshooters were caught by Roman, who stood by Nami's side.
"Charge and cut down these things!"
Since bullets were ineffective, they decided to engage in close combat! The soldiers swarmed forward, forming a torrent of slaughter that could engulf everything, surrounding Roman's 'army'.
Swords, spears, and halberds clashed, and thousands of soldiers formed an endless army! Under the officers' command, they seemed to become a giant, emotionless grinding machine! — The army represents the power of the masses.
"Kill!!"
"For justice!"
One side was cold and silent, the other was hot-blooded and shouting; one side knew no fear, the other was driven by conviction; the two 'armies' clashed fiercely. It was a fight to the death!
In an instant, countless spears broke, swords shattered, flesh and conviction were torn apart and scattered; shields and armor exploded, mixed with blood and flying paper. The battle quickly reached a fever pitch, but the end was near—"Thunder, fall at my command."
The sky, already darkened by the tornado, was filled with small lightning bolts moving through the clouds, making the entire cloud mass glow with a dangerous, eerie light! And this danger followed Nami's downward gesture;"Ten Thousand Thunder!!!"
Crack, crack, crack—
Finger-thick lightning bolts crashed down! They densely covered the entire battlefield, a true lightning storm ravaging and sweeping through the battlefield! In seconds, it caused as many casualties as all the previous fighting combined!
"Impressive,"
In response to Roman's praise, Nami sighed discontentedly.
"Tsk, it's far from that long-eared guy who controls lightning. His lightning bolts were as thick as buckets, while mine are only finger-thick..."
Rather than 'Ten Thousand Thunder', it should be called 'Ten Thousand Sparks'.
"That's still impressive."
Surrounded by the puppet army, Roman and Nami moved forward like a king and queen on a journey. Ahead of them, on top of a building, were Luffy and Chopper, their eyes shining.
"So cool!!!"
