บท 23: Chapter 21: Reinforcement
Dragon's words made Rhine's expression slightly change.
What does this guy mean?
However, at this moment, the ground beneath them shook violently.
Both Rhine and Weevil lost their balance in an instant.
Earthquake?!
Rhine's face changed slightly, and he looked down.
With just one glance, Rhine decided it wasn't an earthquake.
Because only the ground under Weevil and his feet were shaking.
And the area where Monkey·D·Dragon stood was still intact.
And it was different from the continuous ups and downs of ordinary earthquakes.
It was a side-to-side sway similar to the turbulent waves of the sea.
"Is it a Devil Fruit's ability!?" Rhine guessed.
Yet he had just said it.
Then he saw a pair of big hands suddenly protruding from the soil.
Before Rhine and Weevil had time to stabilize their bodies again.
The hands grabbed the ankles of the two.
The next moment, they were dragged into the mud.
"Captain!" Perona's expression changed suddenly.
Burgess, Doc Q, and others who were fighting with other members of the Revolutionary Army and the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates also changed their expressions.
What kind of weird ability is that?!
"Quack quack!"
Not waiting for the rest of the Rhine Pirates to react.
A crow's caw interrupted their concentration again.
They looked up in the direction of the sound.
And saw a large number of crows approaching Lafitte, who was grabbing Luffy and preparing to leave.
"This is?"
Lafitte's eyes changed slightly.
And these crows quickly gathered around him, eventually turning into a bald man wearing a black feather cloak and a beak mask.
"You are--"
Before Lafitte could speak.
That person waved endless feathers, each sharp enough to cut through rocks.
Caught off guard, Lafitte's legs, which were clamping Luffy's neck, were cut several times.
Under the pain, he subconsciously loosened his legs a little.
But Luffy took the opportunity to struggle, got rid of the shackles of Lafitte's feet, and fell from the sky.
"You are... [Crow] Karasu, the commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army!"
Lafitte also recognized the other party at this time.
However, Karasu did not answer Lafitte and split into countless crows to chase Luffy again.
Falling from this height is dangerous.
Lafitte didn't dare to waste time, so he quickly fanned his wings to catch up.
As Dragon said just now.
If they can't deliver Luffy to the World Government, all their plans would be ruined.
"Hey! Lafitte! Watch out!"
Burgess yelled.
And under the perception of his Observation Haki, Lafitte also sensed the danger.
Boom! Boom!
Just then, two gunshots rang out.
Lafitte turned his eyes and saw two missiles emitting chills coming towards him.
Lafitte turned half a circle in mid-air and barely avoided the first one.
Unfortunately, however, his right wing got hit.
The moment the bullet touched his skin, it began to freeze.
After a while, half of Lafitte's wings were covered in ice.
The one who fired the bullets was a Mink that looked like an otter, carrying various weapons.
Boom!
And when the opponent wanted to continue shooting at Lafitte.
Van Augur fired several shots at the opponent.
Forcing the opponent to give up the attack.
"Commander of the Southern Army of the Revolutionary Army, Lindbergh."
Van Augur called out that person's name coldly.
After all, they are both snipers.
"Damn! Straw Hat Luffy is going to be taken away!"
Burgess yelled when he saw Luffy who had been caught by the crow.
This can't be allowed!
"Retreat!"
And Dragon obviously had no intention of fighting to the death with the Rhine Pirates.
After snatching back his son, he immediately chose to retreat.
"Great! Finally, we got Luffy out!"
All the members of the Straw Hat Pirates were ecstatic.
Nami and Robin breathed a sigh of relief.
They were tortured by Rhine for more than a month.
Now, the captain has finally been rescued.
"Everyone! Be careful where you step!"
However, at this moment, Sabo shouted, pulling everyone back from their joyful emotions.
Everyone lowered their eyes and looked down.
They saw that the ground under their feet had been filled with dark energy at some point.
Looking down, it was terrifying!
"Dark Cave Road!"
Rhine's voice sounded coldly.
BOOM!!!
It was like a black volcano erupting.
Endless dark energy like magma overflowed all around, mixing with the remains of the destroyed Marine Base and the surrounding Yariman mangroves.
The weaker ones like Usopp and Nami were blown away directly.
Even Zoro and Sanji were forced to deal with the setbacks.
Karasu, who had just caught Luffy in mid-air, also lost his balance.
"Weevil!"
Rhine's voice sounded again.
"Leave it to me, Brother!"
Weevil suddenly appeared from the center of the dark shock wave.
When the others saw him, he had already jumped to Karasu's side.
"Mr. Karasu! Watch out!"
Sabo yelled worriedly.
But it was too late!
Weevil slashed at Karasu's hand that's holding Luffy.
Karasu had no choice but to let go of the straw hat and retract his hand.
Otherwise, one of his arms would be gone.
"Dark Water!"
And Rhine at the bottom reached out to Luffy.
The strong attraction drew Luffy back into Rhine's hand like a magnet attracts metal.
"Really, we almost lost him."
Rhine held Luffy with one hand and touched the mud on his face with the other.
The ground beside Dragon's feet loosened for a while, and then a giant over ten meters tall slowly emerged.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dragon, I couldn't stop them."
The tone of the giant was a bit weird.
Morley, commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army.
He was the one who pulled Rhine and Weevil into the ground with his Devil Fruit ability.
Have three of the four major army commanders come?
Rhine glanced at Morley, Karasu, and Lindbergh one by one.
None of the commanders of the Revolutionary Army were of the direct combat department like Burgess or Van Augur.
Instead, they were more biased towards auxiliary systems and surprise attacks.
From the Anime, Morley relied on his Devil Fruit ability to quietly let all the members of the Revolutionary Army sneak into the Holy Land Mariejois.
"I'm very sorry, Captain."
Lafitte landed from mid-air, knelt on one knee behind Rhine and said.
"We must strengthen our combat power as soon as possible."
Rhine said in a low voice with half-empty eyes.
Rhine thought that with Weevil, there would be only a few forces on the sea that he could be afraid of.
Unexpectedly, in front of the world's top forces like the Revolutionary Army.
He can't help but feel that his pirate crew is a bit lacking.
"Damn it! It's almost there!"
Usopp stamped his feet angrily.
Obviously, he had rescued Luffy just now, but he was snatched back at the end.
"Continuing to fight is likely to be tricky because of their weird abilities, so we can't waste any more time here."
Rhine thought for a while, and said:
"Lafitte and I will take Luffy to the headquarters, and the others—"
Just as Rhine was halfway through the strategy.
Suddenly, the temperature in the entire area rose sharply.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of meteorites burning with billowing magma fell from the sky.
Meteor Volcano!
"What is this ability!?"
"Everyone back!"
Whether it is a member of the Revolutionary Army or the crew of the Rhine Pirates, seeing these magma meteorites falling from the sky, their faces flicker.
Rhine also embraced the slower Perona in his arms and jumped out of the rear's attack range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the carpet bombing of the magma boulders, the already devastated Area 66 suffered another merciless devastation.
"Ahhh~ No one is dead? This bunch of Trash!"
A thick and slightly hoarse voice came.
They turned their heads to look at the sound.
A large number of Marines had arrived, and the one standing in front was Admiral [Akainu] Sakazuki!
"Damn! They come at this time!"
Sabo was so anxious that he almost gritted his teeth.
Rhine's gang was tough enough already.
Now comes the Marine Admiral, which is even more troublesome.
"Rude guy! Don't you know that my Captain is the new Shichibukai? Why are you launching an indiscriminate attack?!"
Perona broke free from Rhine's arms and shouted angrily.
Akainu folded his hands in front of his chest and said indifferently:
"They are all Trash! Their deaths are beneficial and harmless to the world."
"You!"
Perona wanted to say something more.
But was pulled by Rhine.
To be honest, Rhine was glad it was Akainu who came.
If Sengoku had sent Kizaru, who acts like an undercover Revolutionary Army member,
Nine times out of ten, Luffy would really be robbed.
"I didn't expect that it was the Revolutionary Army who came, and even the leader himself came out."
When seeing Dragon, Akainu couldn't help frowning tightly.
After all, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon rarely acted in person.
He usually sat behind the scenes and directed.
Gulugulu
In the next second, Akainu's arms turned into boiling magma, his eyes fixed on Dragon, and he shouted at the same time:
"Hey! The new Shichibukai! Come and help me take down Dragon!"
Rhine almost laughed out loud at Akainu's words.
As an Admiral, Rhine didn't expect Akainu's face to be unexpectedly thick.
He just launched an indiscriminate bombing attack on his group.
And now he wants Rhine to help him?
"Sakazuki Admiral, I'm sorry, but we are still busy handing over the nomination certificate to the World Government. We really don't have the time to help you."
Saying that, Rhine grabbed Luffy and led his men to run away, and a voice came from afar:
"I'll leave it to you here, I wish you victory and return."
"Damn! Don't try to run!"
Subconsciously, Sabo wanted to turn around and catch up.
However, the large number of Marines brought by Akainu had surrounded the Revolutionary Army and all members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Hmph! Pirates are really unreliable garbage."
Akainu wasn't surprised by Rhine's departure; he didn't expect much from Rhine.
"You're next, Dragon!"
Akainu once again set his sights on Monkey·D·Dragon.
"Huh..."
Seeing that he was about to succeed, and fell short at the last moment, even he, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, was a little stunned.
