Catching his breath, having just arrived after running, Gin tried to calm down. However, although he looked in various directions and inspected the cove, he didn't see the slightest trace of the Merry.
"Oye! What does that mean?"
Wanting to know if Usopp had made it to safety, Gin thought he would have found him here, shaking in fear inside the Merry. However, the boat was nowhere. He wasn't there, like this morning. Staying still for a few moments, Gin finally clenched his fist while growling.
"That idiot…don't tell me he was stupid to decide to sail through this storm?"
Seeing Kaku facing him, Wiper saw him grab two daggers.
"I prefer to warn you, I am not like Mugiwara." Affirmed the Shandian. "At the first opportunity, I would not hesitate to kill you."
"Don't worry! I think just like you! SORU !"
Seeing him disappear from his vision, Wiper widened his eyes somewhat. Then, brandishing his bazooka above his head, he used it as a shield. Striking the weapon with his blades, Kaku created sparks upon impact. Seeing his first attack being stopped, he aimed one of his legs towards Wiper.
" RANKYAKU ! "
Seeing the air blade rushing towards him, Wiper jumped back to dodge it, before aiming his bazooka towards Kaku.
" BURN BAZOOKA ! "
" GEPPO ! "
Jumping into the air, Kaku dodged the attack which slammed into a building.
"Hey! Be careful with your weapon." Kaku said. "Even if people have gone to take refuge elsewhere, I doubt they will be happy to see their homes destroyed."
"Tsss! An assassin who dares to lecture me? Is this a joke?"
Running at full speed, Wiper placed his foot against a wall and jumped into the air. Taking advantage of the houses being close to each other, he continued to jump on several walls in order to gain height and get closer to Kaku.
Once near him, he aimed his foot towards him.
" TEKKAI! "
Smacking Kaku's neck, Wiper saw him stay still, despite hitting him with force.
"You won't get me with that kind of ridiculous attack." Kaku retorted, pointing his finger at him. "SHIGAN!"
Immediately, Wiper cried out in pain, as Kaku's finger pierced his abdomen.
"If I can give you any advice, drop down and stay lying on the ground." The former carpenter affirmed.
However as he saw Wiper begin to fall, he was surprised to feel the Shandian's legs wrap around his waist, blocking him.
" That ... ? "
The next moment, Kaku's eyes widened as he saw Wiper brandishing his weapon right in front of his face.
"Once you're in hell, greet Enel for me! BAZOOKA !"
Immediately, a violent explosion was felt. Staying still, Kalifa and Blueno simply stared at the scene of the explosion, while Lucci growled.
"If he had killed him, this would have been over by now."
Finally, he saw the silhouettes of the duo emerge from the smoke, before crashing to the ground. Performing several aerial pirouettes, Wiper managed to land on his feet. However, as soon as he was on his feet, he grunted in pain, as more blood flowed from the wound in his abdomen.
"Damn it! There's no way we're going to lose to that scratch."
For his part, Kaku's body collapsed to the ground, while Wiper seemed to have defeated him. Unfortunately, it only took a short time before he recovered.
"I have a feeling Lucci is right."
Getting up, while numerous burns were visible on his body, he declared.
"As soon as we return to Enies Lobby, I will have to seriously resume my training."
"This guy managed to resist my point-blank attack?" Wiper wondered.
"You seem to be as good as me." Kaku remarked, starting to dust himself off. "Honestly, I didn't think you were strong enough to hurt me! You're definitely not an ordinary person."
In response, Wiper rushed towards him, before attempting to kick him again. Jamming his daggers in front of him, Kaku blocked his attack. Then, taking advantage of Wiper being in front of him, Kaku tilted his head back.
" SHIGAN !"
Usually, Kaku used his finger to perform this attack. However, he surprised Wiper, as he targeted his face with his nose. Tilting his head to the side, the Shandian felt Kaku's nose brush against his nose, making it bleed.
"GNNNNNN!" Wiper growled.
However, straightening his bazooka, he targeted Kaku again.
" BURN BAZOOKA ! "
" RANKYAKU ! "
Kicking the weapon with his foot, Kaku forced Wiper to lift it further into the air, before firing. because of this, his shot went over Kaku's head, who took the opportunity to rush towards him. And the next moment, Kaku found himself behind Wiper, while his daggers were covered in his blood.
Wide-eyed, Wiper felt blood flowing from his mouth, while two wounds opened on his abdomen.
"That should be enough." Kaku stated.
Yet as he groaned in pain, Wiper managed to stay standing. Then he let out a battle cry, to prove that he wasn't giving up.
"Can he still stand up?" Blueno wondered.
Starting to get annoyed, Lucci ordered.
"Kaku! Eliminate him! No more wasting any more time."
Nodding, Kaku rushed towards Wiper again.
" SORU ! "
Seeming unable to react, Wiper remained motionless, even as one of Kaku's daggers pierced him.
" ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH ! "
"If you continue to want to fight, your body will become a sieve." Kaku assured.
However, he was surprised when he saw Wiper let go of his bazooka and let it fall to the ground.
" Huh ? "
Then, Wiper jumped on him again before wrapping her legs around his waist, while making sure to immobilize his arms.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Kaku questioned, trying to struggle.
For only response, Wiper placed his hand on his abdomen, while affirming.
"This is the pride of the warriors of the Shandora tribe."
" TEKKAI! " Cria Kaku.
" REJECT ! "
Immediately, a violent shockwave was heard. Stunned, the three assassins heard Wiper's arm bones shatter upon impact. For his part, Kaku remained motionless. However, feeling his protection being overwhelmed by the shock wave, he ended up coughing up blood, showing that Wiper had managed to injure him.
"Kaku?" Kalifa was surprised.
"Oye! Seriously?" Blueno asked.
Feeling further hurt, Wiper eventually released Kaku, while beginning to back away. For his part, Kaku's body fell backwards, while he seemed to have lost consciousness.
"Only three more." Wiper stated.
"Are you really sure?" Lucci asked, who seemed strangely calm.
Surprised, Wiper heard breathing behind him. Barely having time to turn around, Wiper felt a finger pierce his abdomen.
" SHIGAN ! "
still standing, Kaku managed to further injure Wiper, who put one knee on the ground.
"Damn...Damn it." The Shandian growled, spitting blood.
Catching his breath with difficulty, while a trickle of blood flowed out of his mouth, Kaku stared at the Shandian, stunned as he confessed.
"If I hadn't activated my Tekkai, I would have been defeated."
Growling, Wiper tried the impossible, and aimed the palm of his hand at Kaku's face. Nonetheless, grabbing his wrist, the assassin used a grip so powerful that he made Wiper scream. Seeing him open his fingers, Kaku had no trouble seeing the dial that was hidden in his hand.
"So that's what you managed to hurt me with."
" RANKYAKU ! "
Surprising everyone, Lucci targeted Wiper and punched him in the back. Spitting more blood, the Shandian lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"This guy wasted too much time." Lucci growled, raising his foot again to strike him.
However, he couldn't hide his surprise when he saw a white flash appear at the Shandian's belt. Coming out of his pokeball, Bouffalant aimed his horns at the man and gave him a headbutt so powerful that it forced Lucci to step back.
Flying backwards for several meters, Lucci ends up performing a few somersaults, before landing on his feet.
"What the hell?" he growled.
Striking the ground with his hoof, Bouffalant was now in front of Wiper, ensuring his protection.
"That cow...she was at the shed with Mugiwara's crew." Blueno remembered.
"Who is this crew?" Kalifa wanted to know. "It's made up of monsters and people with unusual powers."
"Do you think this has something to do with the rumors about immigrants?" Kaku asked.
"Whatever." Lucci grunted.
Immediately, Bouffalant saw him transform into a leopard, as he declared.
"This time, I'm going to kill you."
"What did you dare to say?" Usopp roared.
"You heard me very well," Franky assured. "Earlier, I asked you what you planned to do once you had repaired your ship! If you had told me that you wanted to continue being a pirate, until you perished when this ship will sink, I would have let you do it without reacting! But, you don't seem to want to die! On the contrary, you want to go home! In this case, I must intervene and make you understand that your boat will lead you to your doom if you use it to return home."
Then, he surprised Usopp by jumping on the boat, before grabbing part of the railing.
"To stop you from dying, I have to destroy it myself."
" STOP ! "
Heracross use MEGAHORN.
Hit in the side, Franky gasped as he felt the pokemon's horn sink into his flesh.
" ARRRRGGGGGHHHH ! "
Then being thrown to the side, Franky crashed to the ground.
"ANIKI!" Mozu and Kiwi were scared.
"Heracross?" Usopp was surprised, seeing the pokemon land in front of Merry. "You… You protected the boat."
"Hera!" The pokemon said simply.
"Gnnnn! Stupid beetle." Franky growled, standing up. "Don't you understand that I was doing this to help him?"
"Don't you even dare go near Merry again." Usopp roared, aiming his slingshot at him. "Or you'll regret it."
" STUPID! " Franky roared, throwing himself at him.
And before Usopp or Heracross could react, he grabbed Usopp before throwing him towards the channel that passed inside the boat.
"If you don't understand what I'm saying, go take a look for yourself."
"AHHHHHHHH!" Usopp shouted, diving into the water.
Immediately, Heracross flew to help him. Nevertheless, Franky positioned himself in front of him and grabbed his horn with his huge hands.
"I told you not to bother me! If you want to help him, my method is the only solution so that he finally decides to understand the truth."
" Hera ? "
Despite being underwater, Usopp made no effort to quickly return to the surface. instead, he looked at the keel of his boat and had no trouble seeing the damaged area. being indeed rotting, this area had a portion missing, which matched the size of the piece of wood Franky had shown Usopp.
Even if he was the best carpenter in the world, no one could repair this boat. Merry was doomed.
Finally, as he looked down at the surface of the water, Heracross saw Usopp reappear. Taking a few seconds to cough up water and catch his breath, the sniper returned to the shore. Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up his hammer again, before nailing a new board.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Franky asked.
Ignoring him, Usopp only continued his repairs, while he muttered.
"I'm sorry, Merry! If only...if only I had been a better carpenter! None of this would have happened! I apologize...for being a loser."
"Stop putting yourself down and just follow my advice." Franky said. "As long as you persist in needlessly repairing this boat, you will not be able to move forward! Give up and hand it over to me! You have no other option."
" SHUT UP ! " Shouted Usopp.
Eventually falling to his knees, Usopp began to sob in rage, as he declared.
"When I heard Light tell me about his story, I wanted to believe in a miracle! I wanted to believe that Galley-La was trying to scam us into paying more! But for Merry, I knew that it wasn't "It wasn't a scam! I didn't want to believe it, but I knew it was true."
"Huh? In that case...why? Explain to me, I don't understand."
"You will never be able to understand me." Usopp affirmed. "You won't be able to understand what happened that night."
Recalling his first night at Upper Yard, Usopp remembered the moment he saw a ghostly figure repairing Merry.
"No one will be able to believe what I saw! And no one will ever be able to understand the fact that I saw Merry repair himself."
"Have you seen your boat... repair itself?" Franky repeated, pushing up his sunglasses.
Having his legs trembling, Bouffalant felt his vision blur. However, Lucci growled in displeasure, seeing him persevere in remaining standing.
"You really dare to face justice."
Simply letting out a powerful bellow, before running towards him.
"You're just a stupid cow! RANKYAKU! "
Bouffalant uses REVENGE .
Being hit with force, the pokemon absorbed the attack while gritting its teeth.
"Don't you have enough?" Lucci questioned him, finding himself in front of him. " SHIGAN !"
Being pierced again, Bouffalant felt his front legs bend, while part of his body fell to the ground. However, still confident, he targeted Lucci, before focusing all the energy he had stored thanks to REVENGE .
Blindly use FOCUS ENERGY .
Seeing him about to attack, Blueno positioned himself in front of Lucci before attacking.
" RANKYAKU ! "
Bouffalant uses ANCIENT POWER .
Concentrating all his power, Bouffalant created an energy sphere which rushed towards Blueno's attack. Hitting it, Bouffalant's attack managed to stop it, before pushing it back.
"Huh?" Blueno said, seeing the white sphere coming towards him. " TEKKAI !"
Using his protection, the man let himself be hit by the attack, which exploded. Gritting his teeth, he felt himself recoil, proving the power of the impact. However, as Bouffalant struggled to remain conscious, he saw Blueno manage to remain standing, despite feeling some tingling in his abdomen.
"Mugiwara's crew..." The man whispered. "What would have happened if the government had had the bad idea of leaving Nico Robin among them?"
"It wouldn't have changed anything." Lucci retorted, walking towards Boufallant. "No matter how powerful they are, they are no match for us."
Trying to get back on his feet, Bouffalant ends up collapsing completely, exhausted.
"Why do pirates always have to behave so stupidly?" Lucci asked. "Even the animals that accompany them are contaminated by their stupidity."
" BURN ... "
Barely having time to understand the situation, Lucci saw a beam of light shooting in his direction.
" BAZOOKA ! "
" GEPPO ! "
Dodging at the last minute, Lucci glared furiously at Wiper, who had managed to get up.
"A Shandian warrior never gives up."
Not seeking to argue with him, Lucci immediately attacks him.
" RANKYAKU ! "
And imitating him, Blueno and the others attacked in the same way. Unable to take a single step, Wiper felt the four attacks hit him violently. And, with his clothes torn and his mouth dripping with blood, he felt his feet leave the ground, while his body flew backwards. Colliding with Bouffalant, Wiper's body forced him to fly with him and the duo were ejected high into the air, before landing on the other side of the city.
Realizing that they were finally rid of them, Lucci affirmed.
"And now let's go capture Cuttie Flam."
And as the foursome finally left the neighborhood, Bellamy left his hiding place, still swallowing. Having been defeated by Wiper, he knew that the Shandian was more powerful than him. And yet, he had been defeated by these guys.
" Mugiwara…what did you do? "
"Klau...Klaubautermann?" Usopp repeated.
"Exactly." Franky affirmed. "He's a legend among sailors! He's a spirit that lives in a boat who is truly loved by his crew! He has a mallet and wears an oilskin! When the crew is in danger, he runs onto the boat to warn everyone! It is said that it can sometimes help sailors in distress! But, to be frank, you are the first person I have met to claim to have seen it! Only greatly loved boats show those who 'They carry that kind of recognition.'
Looking at Merry, he stated.
"To tell the truth, I believe what you tell me! Because, it only takes a single glance to see that it is a miracle that this ship was able to arrive here with all the damage that it accumulated during your journey."
Remaining frozen, Usopp slowly turned to Merry, while sobbing.
" Me ... Merry. "
Feeling like crying again, Franky declared.
"After hearing such a story, I cannot afford to destroy this boat! Long-nose... no one can repair this boat! But, if you wish, I allow you to leave it here! Therefore , instead of stupidly destroying it by sailing across the oceans, it can stay here and be protected from any danger."
"What? Would you really do this for Merry?"
Simply giving a thumbs up, Franky affirmed.
"I am a man of honor."
"Aniki, you're the best." Mozu and Kiwi said.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell was heard.
"Huh?" Usopp was surprised. " What is this ? "
"It's the front door bell." Mozu noted.
"Maybe it's Zambe and the others! But why are they using the bell? It's strange! Unless it's because they came back to Mugiwara."
"MUGIWARA!" Franky shouted. "I had completely forgotten about it."
The bell rang again. Looking at each other, Mozu and Kiwi eventually headed towards the front door.
" We arrive. "
"Luffy and the others won't come." Usopp assured. "We're not part of the same crew anymore."
Seeing him lower his gaze, Franky affirmed.
"Hey! It doesn't matter if I win or lose...once my fight with Mugiwara is over...go back with them."
"What? What are you talking about? I can't go back with them! I defied my captain."
"And then? You'll just have to apologize! As for your boat, I'll take care of it! You don't have to worry."
"That's easy to say." Usopp retorted. "But who tells me that you will actually take care of my boat, rather than destroying it?"
"Hey! Are you calling me a liar? Either way, you have no choice! Otherwise, you'd be being disrespectful to this boat."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Given the efforts your boat has made to bring your crew here, do you think he will be proud to see you arguing because of him! Listen, if you really love your boat, don't ignore "All the sacrifices he made for you! It's the worst thing you could do."
Suddenly, a body flew between the two men, before crashing to the ground.
"What...?" The two men were surprised when they saw Mozu's injured body.
Then, a crashing noise was heard, while Kiwi collapsed as well.
"KIWI" Shouted Franky.
Don't understand the situation, Usopp observed four people who had just entered Franky's warehouse.
"What is it that...?"
"Excuse us for the inconvenience." Kalifa apologized. "But these girls wouldn't let us in."
"You...you..." Usopp said, as he recognized some people.
"Galley-La?" Franky was surprised. "Blueno? But what does that mean?"
Water-7 Station
Having a pocket watch in hand, Cordi finally looks up to see a few figures flying in his direction.
" Here they are. "
Behind him, several government soldiers stood still and saluted Fosha who landed in front of them.
"You have arrived." She assured, while putting Robin down.
"Our mission is finally complete." Araga affirmed, landing near her.
"Huh?" Cordi was surprised, not seeing anyone else. "Lucci-san and the others aren't with you?"
"There was a slight unforeseen event." Fosha admitted. "But don't worry! The sea train will leave for Enies Lobby without the slightest delay! And at its destination, we can find Coro-chan and the Pluto blueprints there. "
Hearing this Cordi started to smile.
"I understand why the government has so much confidence in CP9! You never disappoint us."
"It's true that it is not with an imbecile like you that we will be able to protect the world." Araga affirmed, with a mocking smile.
"What?" The man roared.
Immediately, Araga felt Fosha give her a wrestling hold, like she used to do to Franky.
"Idiot! Even if Cordi is incapable, he is also a member of the justice system! Apologize."
"AHHHHH! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!"
"Huh...you called me incapable." The man remarked.
However, preferring not to broach a subject that could lead to an argument, he declared.
"The sea train will be ready to leave as soon as Lucci-san returns! And, don't worry, it will be perfectly secure."
Immediately, a chuckle was heard.
"Indeed! Even a mouse won't be able to cross this train without getting killed."
Looking up, Robin saw a man sitting on one of the sea train cars. Looking like a weasel, Nero removed his hat somewhat, while declaring.
"As the newest recruit to CP9, I look forward to showing my potential to Rob Lucci."
"Huh?" Fosha said. "Could you be Nero?"
"Indeed! Glad to see you've heard of me."
"Nero is one of the two men sent by Enies Lobby to protect Nico Robin." Cordi affirmed. " And for the second person...'
"I'm here." A man assured.
Introducing himself, the man greeted the women with a rather unsure greeting.
"I'm Ohgi, member of the Black Nights! Zero is the man who sent me here."
