Bang! Bang! Bang!
The warships in the distance began bombarding them in support, dense rows of shells sweeping over like black rain.
Crackle!
Nami leaped up first, electric arcs snaking out from her arm and weaving into a net of lightning to intercept them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless shells exploded in midair, filling the sky with dense flashes of fire like a fireworks display.
"Leave the ship to us!"
Franky shouted, flipping open his left palm to reveal several gun barrels and spraying bullets at the airborne shells like a gatling gun.
"They actually wrecked the Going Merry this badly!"
Looking at the shattered, mangled stern, Usopp was furious. "Luffy! Reiner, go beat the hell out of him!"
"Yeah, of course."
A flash of anger crossed Luffy's face as he said firmly, "I'm definitely going to send that bastard flying with my own hands!"
"You big-talking punk pirates, sending this old man flying isn't something you can do with just your mouths."
A savage gleam appeared in Zephyr's eyes. His monstrous mechanical arm contracted with a grinding bite, golden energy gathering as he aimed at the Going Merry and began charging it.
"It's a laser!"
"Watch out!"
Laser technology was an extremely lethal means of attack. With its terrifying penetrating power, even powerful Haki users would not easily take it head-on with their bodies.
As everyone cried out in alarm, a figure shot forward in an instant, turning into a streak of blue light as it flew toward Zephyr.
"Die, pirates!"
Zephyr roared furiously. Blinding light erupted as a scorching golden beam shot straight out!
"Crushing Laser!"
"Don't get cocky, old man!!"
Reiner let out a thunderous roar and swung his giant axe viciously upward from below!
Rumble!!
The air shook with a deafening boom, and the invisible space itself
