Letting his boat move closer to Enies Lobby, Strawberry watched as the island was ravaged, while maintaining a stoic face.
"Even if we manage to kill Monkey D. Luffy, the government won't be able to claim total victory when Judiciary Island has been destroyed."
"Vice Admiral." A soldier shouted, coming towards him. "We just saw a huge boat leaving Enies Lobby."
"A ship? Is it a pirate ship?"
"Huh...I don't think so." The soldier retorted. "Its passengers raised the flag of the world government! However, this ship is very strange."
Astonished, Strawberry grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked carefully at the horizon. Finally, he saw the Black Geass sailing towards him, carrying thousands of soldiers on board. Having deliberately sailed the boat towards one of the Navy boats, Zero had ordered that a flag representing the world government be raised, to avoid being attacked.
"What should we do?" Asked the soldier near the vice admiral. "Should we bomb this ship?"
Taking a few seconds to think, Strawberry retorted.
"No! Thousands of soldiers are on this boat and perhaps even members of CP9! After such chaos, there is no way we will be criticized any further if the population learns that we bombed our own men ! Tell our men to be ready! We will welcome these pirates to our ship and identify them! If any of them refuse to give us their identity, shoot them immediately."
" At your service. "
Not reassured to see the Black Geass heading towards one of the Navy boats, Tamaki gesticulated in front of Zero.
"Zero! This is a terrible idea! These guys are destroying Enies Lobby! They certainly won't hesitate to destroy us too! We need to change course and get away from these ships at full speed."
"Baka." Tohdoh growled. "This is the worst thing to do! If the Navy sees us fleeing, they will think we are criminals trying to leave the island and they will come after us to kill us! The only way for us to survive is to voluntarily head to a ship and let the soldiers ascertain our identity."
Hearing him say what he thought, Zero remained silent, even when he heard a voice coming from Strawberry's ship. With a megaphone in hand, a soldier addressed the passengers of the Black Geass.
"Soldiers...this is Vice Admiral Strawberry's ship! If you have weapons with you, we order you to put them ashore! Once done, bring your ship closer to ours! Then, we will ensure your identity to assure us that no criminals are with you."
Hearing this, the passengers aboard the Black Geass began to shout with joy again.
"We will live."
Running at full speed, Kashii and Oimo also arrived at the main gate.
" We are almost there. "
"Good job." Zambe said.
"Maybe! But the hardest part is yet to come." Loke affirmed.
Hearing another explosion, he affirmed.
"There are definitely several ships attacking the city! As soon as we arrive, we will become their new target! So, we need to steal a ship as quickly as possible."
"It's not like we want to chat with the soldiers while drinking tea." Lulu affirmed, while grabbing his sabers.
" LET'S GO ! " Shouted Tilestone.
Finally, the two giants saw the huge, half-open door ahead. Accelerating, they pulverized it and found themselves in front of the ocean.
" We have succeeded. "
Shouting at first with joy, the Franky Family ends up remaining silent, looking towards the ocean. In addition to Strawberry's boat, two other Navy ships were outside the main gate.
"The criminals are here." A soldier shouted, seeing them.
"In that case, prepare to shoot."
"What?" Paulie was surprised.
"They're going to bomb us." Mozu and Kiwi were afraid.
Indeed. Pointing their cannons at them, the ships showed that they wanted to pulverize the area, to destroy everyone there. However, seeing them do so, Aquarius jumped out of his place and propelled himself towards the ocean.
"If those damn humans think they can kill me, then they're even more stupid than those in my world."
Disappearing into the ocean, the mermaid seemed to have abandoned her comrades, who were always the target of the cannons.
"What? She left without us?"
"She's going to let us die like this?"
Yet compared to the humans in this group, Lucy's other spirits seemed completely calm, despite the fact that the cannons were quickly readied.
"PULL!" A captain shouted.
However, as the gunners prepared to fire, all the soldiers were surprised when they felt their ships begin to shake.
" What ? "
" What is happening ? "
No longer able to control anything, the helmsmen could only cry out in fear when they saw a huge sea whirlpool being created not far from their position.
" A whirlwind ? "
Shaking the ships, the whirlwind caused two ships to retreat, including Strawberry's. On the contrary, the sea currents forced the third boat to approach the main gate.
"The boat...it's coming towards us" Zambe remarked.
"Here is our target." Loke assured. "We will take this ship and sail with it."
As a result, Loke and the rest of Lucy's spirits left the giants' shoulders before rushing towards the Navy ship.
"Destroy all the soldiers on this ship."
" YEAH ! "
"The bombings are getting more and more powerful." Bruno remarked.
"These guys are really crazy." Nami stated. "They are destroying one of the main symbols of the world government."
But as the small group continued to run, they heard footsteps behind them.
" Pouky ! Pouky ! Pouky ! "
Surprised, the pirates turned around and saw the robot dog running behind them.
"The robot?" Sanji was surprised.
"What is he doing here?" Velvet asked. "I thought he stayed in the courtyard with the others."
"STOP!" Sogeking suddenly shouted.
Surprised, Sanji and Bruno suddenly stopped, causing Usopp to fall.
"OUCH!" The sniper complained, feeling his forehead hit the ground.
"What's the matter with you, shouting like that?" Sanji asked.
"Can't you hear anything?" Usopp asked.
"I just hear the bombings." Bruno affirmed.
However, feeling their ears start to move, Nami and Velvet turned towards the end of the corridor, while they thought they heard a strange noise.
" What is this ? "
At this moment, the pirates saw several figures running towards them.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHH ! " Cried Kokoro, Chimney and Lucy.
"Guys?" Bruno was surprised.
Then, widening his eyes, the man saw the enormous tidal wave rushing towards them.
" What is that ? "
"AHHHHHHH! We're going to get killed."
" RUN! " Gin shouted, as he and the others had almost joined Sanji's group.
"BRUNO!" Nami shouted. "Your power! We must flee into the walls."
" ZIP! " the man shouted, starting to create a closure in the ground.
But before they could open it, the pirates felt the powerful wave hit them violently and the current quickly carried them away. Now feeling like leaves hit by a gust of wind, the pirates could only place their hands in front of their mouths, to avoid losing the slightest bubble of oxygen.
However, it was obvious that this gesture of survival was in no way going to save them.
" What can we do to get out of here ?" Wiper wondered.
Trying to point his bazooka at a wall, in order to create a hole, the shandian noticed that his weapon was unusable. The water prevented its powerful flames from bursting out.
" Damn it! And my Reject Dial is completely empty! I can't use it. "
For his part, feeling the current carry him away, Bruno tried in vain to swim towards one of the walls, in order to create a zipper.
" How did we end up in this situation when we had just saved Robin? "
' My lungs are on fire. ' Nami thought.
" I have to...I have to save the others. " Sanji thought, trying in vain to swim against the current.
Feeling his vision becoming blurry, the man noticed that he was going to lose consciousness.
" No! We can't die now. "
"Have no fear."
Surprised, the cook heard a female voice being heard.
" Huh ? "
Then, feeling himself being pulled, he saw a woman with a fish tail gathering as many people as possible and pulling them behind her using a cape.
" A mermaid? " Sanji was surprised. " Is it Lucy's? "
However, seeing that this mermaid had green hair, Sanji understood that it was not Aquarius.
" It's probably an illusion! I've heard legends about it! It seems that when a sailor is about to drown, people say that when he begins to lose consciousness, he can see a woman with a fish tail swimming peacefully! That's why mermaids are legendary creatures! We can only see them when we're about to die. "
Stopping struggling, Sanji wanted to close his eyes.
"If this is a dream, make it never end."
"HEY! It's not time to fall asleep."
Opening his eyes, Sanji was immediately surprised, identifying the mermaid.
"I'll make sure to lead you to the exit." Kokoro assured.
"WHAT?" Several pirates shouted, before losing consciousness.
Unfortunately, being too numerous, Kokoro saw Lucy, Wiper, Gin, Bruno and Velvet being carried away by the current.
"Damn it! I can't shoot them all."
However, being also carried away by the sea current, Pouky let his eyes turn red.
"Alert detected! Rescue procedure initiated."
Then the dog let its tail grow three times longer. And a few seconds later, it began to spin like the propeller of a boat.
" Pouky ! Pouky ! Pouky ! Pouky ! "
Now able to face the sea current, the robot dog bumped into Wiper and Velvet, while letting the other pirates cling to him. And it was in this way that Kokoro and Pouky swam at full speed towards the exit.
"Who…Who are these guys?"
Having managed to end up on the Navy ship they were targeting, Lucy's spirits began attacking the soldiers.
" REGULUS PUNCH ! "
Hit violently, several soldiers were thrown from the ship. Others saw their swords destroyed by Cancer while Taurus pulverized them with his axe.
"Aim at them with your rifles." Ordered a corporal to a group of soldiers.
However, seeing them do so, Capricorn rushed towards them and used his lightning speed to neutralize them.
"AHHHHH!" The soldiers shouted as they felt his hooves hitting them.
Taking advantage of the ship stopping targeting them, the two giants swam towards it, and allowed the rest of the group to climb onto the ship.
"Massacre all the soldiers." Crai Zambe, with the Franky Family.
"Compared to the 10,000 soldiers of Enies Lobby, this small battalion is insignificant." Paulie assured.
But while all these warriors were fighting, Strawberry watched what was happening and realized that the boat was going to be stolen.
"Vice Admiral, what should we do?" A soldier asked.
"There's no way we're going to let these criminals take over this ship and run away with it! Bomb it."
"What? But there are a thousand soldiers on this boat."
Continuing to observe the scene, Strawberry saw many soldiers being thrown from this boat.
"Looking at the situation, we will be able to bomb this ship while avoiding a lot of losses! In any case, there is no question of letting these criminals escape. "
"Huh...Aye! Get the cannons ready."
Immediately, Strawberry's boat and the one close to it began targeting the third boat.
" PULL ! "
In an instant, several cannonballs were fired towards Loke and the others. Nevertheless, seeing them, the spirit of light said simply.
" Aries ! "
Positioning herself towards the railing of the boat, the young woman created a huge wall of wool which was hit by the cannonballs. However, cushioning the impact, Aries managed to stop the huge projectiles, which then fell towards the ground.
Seeing them, Taurus grabbed several cannonballs, before throwing them towards Kashii.
"I think the Navy lost this."
Catching the cannonballs with one hand, the giant showed a big smile, while affirming.
"In that case, I'll be happy to give them back what's theirs."
Positioning his arm back, he then threw the cannonballs towards the boat near Strawberry's. Screaming in terror, the soldiers saw the cannonballs flying towards them at full speed before hitting their ship, creating an explosion.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! The hull is damaged."
"The boat is going to sink."
" Damn it. " Grogna Strawberry.
Being able to see this as well, Black Knights looked at the scene while appearing stunned.
"These guys don't have any Kinghtmares with them, and yet they've already managed to seize one ship and neutralize another."
"It's like they're invincible."
For his part, Morgans took some great shots.
"BIGS NEWS! Whether it's the World Government or the Navy, nothing can stop Mugiwara's army! HAHAHAHAHA! It's awesome."
Beginning to get annoyed by the situation, Strawberry grabbed his den-den mushi to call for backup.
Being not far from the Bridge of Hesitation, Onigumo was observing the bridge and saw Nico Robin.
"Certainly, CP9 is nowhere near as incredible as the world government claims! How could they let a woman escape?"
" Vice-amiral ! "
Running towards him, with a den-den mushi in hand, a soldier taught him.
"Vice Admiral Strawberry has just contacted us! He urgently needs reinforcements at the main gate! Apparently one of our ships has just been captured by criminals."
"Is this a joke?" Onigumo growled. "What is this idiot doing? He is in possession of three ships."
"One of them just sank."
"Grrrrr! He's just an incompetent."
At that moment, Onigumo saw the Doberman's boat change its course and headed towards the main gate.
"There's no way we're going to let the Navy be humiliated." The scarred man said. "I'll make sure to destroy all of these criminals."
But as Doberman went to help Strawberry, Momonga looked intently at the bridge, seemingly looking for someone he couldn't find.
"It's strange that so many pirates made it this far! I thought Rob Lucci hadn't been defeated! In that case, where is he? Could he be fighting against Mugiwara?"
As if to answer his question, one of the pillars of the bridge exploded and a huge fist was seen.
"WHAT?" Many soldiers shouted.
" GEAR 3 ! " Cria Luffy.
" ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! " Lucci shouted, as he felt the giant fist hit him hard.
Being thrown out of the tower, the leopard man appeared paralyzed, as he felt his body fall towards the ocean.
"Where can he have such power?"
Fortunately for him, passing near the destroyed tower, a Navy ship found itself in the path of his fall and it was by chance that Lucci felt his body hit its floor.
Having seen this scene, Momonga thought he recognized the silhouette of the man who had just fallen on this boat.
" Rob Lucci ? "
"An intruder has just stumbled upon boat number 4." One of his soldiers stated. "Vice Admiral, should we help the soldiers on this boat to neutralize the enemy?"
"No." Momonga retorted.
"Huh…in that case, should we proceed to capture Nico Robin?"
"No." Momonga repeated.
" What ? "
Continuing to look at boat number 4, the vice admiral stated.
"As long as this man is present on the island and continues to fight to ensure the transfer of Nico Robin, we must not intervene."
"Huh...who are you talking about?"
Widening his eyes, the soldier finally understood.
"Are you talking about…"
"Do you know the four horsemen of the apocalypse?" Momonga asked.
" Huh ? "
"It's been centuries since the government was created, just like the Cipher Pol! And among this organization, the CP9 is made up of a special team responsible for killing people considered to be a threat to the world government! As a result, only the Cipher Pol elites can hope to be able to join this special group! And among these elites, four people have stood out in recent years."
Thinking of four people, Momonga declared.
"Kuroka, the throat-killing spider...the two Smuka brothers...and Rob Lucci! Few people can boast of knowing the faces of these four legends! But you can be sure of one thing, everything what people say about them is true! Except for Portgas D. Edmond, these four people with titanic strength were surely the most powerful people to have joined the Cipher Pol."
"Are they that powerful?" A soldier asked.
"Only an idiot would ask that kind of question." Momonga growled. "But in truth, in terms of power, Rob Lucci and Kuroka clearly stand out while the Smuka brothers do not have such extraordinary power if they fight individually! However, in a duo fight, they become such monsters formidable that they could ultimately defeat Rob Lucci and Kuroka, if they fought together."
"But it's strange." Said a soldier. "Apart from Rob Lucci, all these people have mysteriously disappeared! However, the Smuka and Kukoka brothers were part of CP9, a few years ago! Why did they disappear?"
"I don't know why! From what I know, Kuroka was supposed to carry out a surveillance mission and become the bodyguard of an extremely important noble! However, she disappeared during her mission! As for the Smuka brothers, they have suddenly left Cipher Pol, without anyone knowing the reason! As a result, Rob Lucci has become the only legend left in CP9, which is a shame."
Being able to see Luffy leaving the destroyed tower and fighting against Lucci, Momonga affirmed.
"If the four horsemen of the apocalypse had been here, all those pirates would have been dead a long time ago."
" GIANT AXE! " Luffy shouted, as his giant foot hit the ship where Lucci was.
Feeling Vivi's arms hug her, Robin heard her say.
"I know you're scared! However, you don't have to worry."
Thinking back to her own misadventures, when she had to fight against Baroque Works, Vivi confessed.
"There were often times when I panicked! All I felt was fear and despair and I thought it was all over! There were many times when I believed Crocodile was too powerful for him. 'stop and my country was going to be destroyed.'
Then, remembering her meeting with Luffy and his friends, as well as the adventures she had experienced until Crocodile's defeat, Vivi assured.
"Thanks to Luffy, I was able to save my country! And it was thanks to him that I understood how important being surrounded by friends was to being able to accomplish your dreams."
Smiling at Robin, she assured her.
"Robin, now that we're here, you no longer have any reason to be afraid! Even the Buster Call won't be able to do you any harm."
Hearing Vivi's words, Zoro and Franky began to smile, as they walked towards the last remaining soldiers. Stepping back, the poor men found themselves on the edge of the void, while they could not escape.
" Mom ... "
"Nothing can stop us." Franky said.
"Neither the Navy, nor the world government." Zoro added.
Then, seeing them massacre the last soldiers, Robin felt his heartbeat slow down, while his fear gradually disappeared. Feeling much calmer, she regained her confidence and stood up.
"You're right! As long as I had friends, I wouldn't be afraid of anything."
Flying above the Tower of Justice, Raynare saw that the building was beginning to catch fire as it had been bombed several times. Trying to see if any of her friends were still in the tower, she couldn't see anything because of the flames.
"Damn it! I hope those idiots are okay! What's reassuring is that Zoro is on the bridge! If that idiot had been alone in the tower, he would have been unable to find the secret passage. "
Finally, finding it pointless to stay here, the fallen angel turned around to return to the bridge. However, she heard voices.
"HEY! FALLEN ANGEL!"
" EEVEE ! "
Lowering her gaze, Raynare was surprised to see a few figures waving at her. Getting closer, she recognized Bellamy and the crew's pokemon, waving at her. Having trusted Eevee's scent, the small group found themselves at the back of the Justice Tower.
However, due to the ocean, they had been unable to get to the Bridge of Hesitation. And because of that, they found themselves trapped, while the rest of the city was being bombed.
"Help us." Bellamy shouted.
" What are you doing here ?" Asked the fallen angel. "I thought you went with the others to get a boat."
"We'll explain to you later." The blond said, suddenly grabbing Hatterene.
"Hatte?" The pokemon was surprised.
And before giving her time to react, the pirate threw her towards Raynare, who caught her in her arms.
"HATTTEEEEEEEEE!" The pokemon shouted, before being stopped by the fallen angel.
At first surprised, Raynare eventually understood the plan, and began to fly towards the Bridge of Hesitation. For her part, the pokemon turned towards the tower of justice and targeted her comrades.
" PHYCHIC ! "
Once again, the other pokemon and Carue felt themselves lifted above the ground, before following Raynare. However, waiting for his turn, Bellamy noticed that Hatterene had not targeted him with her attack.
" What ? "
Showing only an angry look at him, Hatterene seemed to refuse to help him because of him throwing her like that.
"Hey! I hope you're joking?"
At that moment, another cannonball hit the tower of justice. No longer able to withstand the explosions, the rear facade of the enormous building cracked. then, the entire tower started to collapse towards Bellamy.
" HEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP! " The man shouted, as he was about to be crushed.
Fortunately, finally feeling his feet leave the ground, Bellamy's body began to fly towards Raynare and avoided being crushed by the building, which smashed against the ground, before falling into the ocean.
Noticing this, Bellamy looked towards Hatterene, who began to stare at him with a mocking look.
"If you're expecting thanks, let me tell you, you can expect them for a long time, stupid ghost."
