"Terrifying, terrifying! Too terrifying!"
"Luffy, is your brother really this strong?"
"Why are you so weak, Luffy?"
"Are they trying to destroy this place? We haven't even left yet!"
Looking at this scene, whether it was the Marines, the CP agents, or the Straw Hat crew and Teach, all of them revealed expressions of terror.
Teach in particular clenched both fists tightly, and a voice roared crazily in his mind, [I can do it too!! No, I will definitely be stronger than them. I am a man who will become the king of the world!]
Then, as if he remembered something, he shouted toward the Straw Hat crew beside him, who were still dumbfounded: "Your ship?"
Only by staying alive could he realize his dream!
"Ship?"
As soon as these words fell, the Straw Hat crew also snapped back to their senses. Their eyes were filled with confusion, and then, as if they remembered something, their faces turned deathly pale.
Damn it, they almost forgot about this.
The Straw Hat crew instantly became tense inside, all of them looking toward Nami, and Nami was left speechless by their gazes.
Although she was the navigator, what could she do in this situation?
She couldn't possibly take everyone and swim out one by one!
Nami showed a bitter expression.
Just as she was about to shake her head and say something, she seemed to hear a sound. Her whole body froze in place, then she suddenly turned her head and looked at her companions. "You guys... Did you hear that?"
"Hear what? No, Nami, now is not the time to hear—"
Usopp spoke with an anxious tone, but before he could finish his sentence, he seemed to hear something as well. He immediately turned his head and looked toward the sea while saying excitedly, "It's the Going Merry! The Going Merry is here to pick us up!"
As Usopp's words fell, the other companions seemed to hear the sound too, and all looked toward the direction Usopp was pointing. Sure enough, they saw a ship... No, that was their companion. The Going Merry had come.
Everyone's faces showed excited and happy expressions. Even Teach looked at that ship in shock, as if recalling a legend in his mind. "A ship with spirit?"
"No, that's the Going Merry. The Going Merry came to pick us up."
Luffy pressed down on his hat, grinned, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get on the ship! The Going Merry came to pick us up!"
As his words fell, smiles also appeared on the faces of all the Straw Hat crew. Even their inner worries vanished in that instant.
After exchanging a glance, without any hesitation, they let out a hearty roar: "We're going home!" and then all jumped into the sea.
When Teach saw this scene, he clenched his teeth and then jumped down as well.
"Splash!" "Splash!" "Splash!"
As the sounds fell one after another, under the shocked gazes of the marines and agents, that sheep-headed ship instantly took everyone aboard safely.
"The Going Merry!"
The Straw Hat crew let out a cheer. Even Teach did the same, as if infected by this scene. With a happy smile, he grinned, put his hands on his hips, and let out a hearty laugh. "Zehahahaha, I survived! I survived!"
Everyone looked at Enies Lobby, which was like it had fallen into hell, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Then Nami seemed to remember something, and her smile instantly disappeared.
With a serious expression, she looked at Luffy. "Luffy, your brother..."
Luffy: "..."
Luffy froze for a moment, but quickly recovered his smile. He lowered his hat, looked at Enies Lobby in front of him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Ace. Ace will definitely be fine. I believe... we will definitely meet again on the sea. Now we..."
He raised his right hand.
"We're leaving!"
As his words fell, smiles returned to the faces of the Straw Hat crew once more. They also looked at the exploding sphere of flames while looking at Enies Lobby growing farther and farther away.
At this moment, Luffy seemed unable to hold back any longer. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly toward Enies Lobby: "I will definitely become stronger! I am a man who will become the King of the Pirates!"
As Luffy shouted his dream toward Enies Lobby, the Straw Hat crew was stunned for a moment, and then all of them showed determined smiles.
That's right, they would definitely become stronger!
So strong that they could face such battles head-on!
Even Teach seemed to be infected once again. Looking at Enies Lobby burning in the raging flames, letting out his unique laughter, he then shouted loudly with a firm tone: "Zehahahaha! A man's dream will never end!"
…
"Is it over?"
Zephyr snapped out of his shock while stiffly turning his head to look at Ian. "When did you learn this move? And why does your axe also emit light?"
"Not long ago."
Ian put away his axe and said, "I happened to learn it, so I tried it out. The effect wasn't bad."
This move was an improvement made by combining the previous solar explosion with the Conqueror's Haki application technique from Divine Departure.
It was somewhat similar to Orochi's moves from the King of Fighters.
During his training at the East Blue, he discovered the changes in the Divine Axe, Rhitta.
It could absorb light at the same frequency as him and store it. He didn't know whether the divine axe had also become like those cursed blades and gained special abilities.
No, it should be called a cursed axe. That didn't sound right either; the Divine Axe sounded pretty good.
Of course, it was only because the axe had stored light inside. Otherwise, if he wanted to use this move, he would have had to gather sunlight under the sun.
Ian looked at the axe in his hand, which seemed a bit dim, then raised his head and looked at the fleet in the distance that had stopped, somewhat panicked and riddled with holes. He smiled and said, "Withdraw! We should leave too!"
"Leave?"
Zephyr looked at the fleet that had fallen into chaos and flames with mixed emotions. "I thought you would start a war here!"
