Yes, the Going Merry!
This pirate ship, deemed irreparable by the professionals of Water Seven, was now charging through the waves.
It fearlessly broke through the Gods of Water, capable of destroying everything, and miraculously arrived at this Judicial Island, all to rescue its long-time companions from hell!
"Merry!!"
Usopp cried uncontrollably, unable to describe his feelings at that moment.
The Merry, banished to the sea by CP9, had come to Judicial Island to save them. How could he not be moved?
As the ship drew closer, the other Straw Hat Pirates trembled with excitement. They could really see the Merry!
"How... how is this possible?!"
Franky stared at the scene in disbelief, unable to trust his eyes.
He knew he had inspected this ship and was well aware of its condition. The keel was damaged, with no possibility of repair, let alone sailing.
Yet now, this ship had not only crossed the Gods of Water but appeared here completely intact?
What a miracle this was!!
"Going Merry..."
Blueno, controlled by Xi Yan, also looked shocked as the Going Merry approached.
Nami had told him about this ship being condemned to death, during that whispered conversation.
But now, this ship actually... this was simply a miracle!
"A miracle..." Sanji murmured.
Frankly, their current situation was truly desperate.
Even if Xi Yan could seize a Navy warship, how fast could a warship filled with so much water move?
The attacker this time was a Navy Admiral, possessing the terrifying power to freeze the sea!
Facing such a person, could they really escape using such a waterlogged warship?
But now, their Going Merry had arrived... appearing in this desperate situation!
How could this not excite them!
"Merry!"
Nami's eyes welled up with tears, unsure how to express her feelings for a moment.
This was truly a ray of dawn in despair!
(Everyone, let's return to the adventurous sea together!)
"Merry!!!"
"Honestly, in all my years, this is the first time I've seen such a miracle..." Kokoro muttered.
She stopped drinking the bottle in her hand and stared intently at the pirate ship.
Legend had it that on the sea, if the crew cherished their ship greatly, a mythical creature might be born: a Ship Spirit!
Ships with Ship Spirits could achieve all sorts of incredible things. She wondered if this ship was as she imagined...
At this moment, Kokoro felt a desire to go and see for herself.
If she had the chance to meet the legendary Ship Spirit, she could have a good chat with Tom when she passed away.
"Regardless, this increases our chances of escaping," Franky said calmly. "I can use the Coup de Vent to propel this pirate ship, allowing us to break out a considerable distance in one go."
He didn't know if this would be enough to escape from a Navy Admiral, but they had to try at least.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and find Luffy and the others," Usopp said. "Let's get them back first."
"Alright."
Blueno didn't waste any words and immediately used his ability to bring them to Luffy's battlefield.
Luffy's battle with Rob Lucci had already entered a white-hot stage!
"Straw Hat brat, do you think you can defeat me?!" Rob Lucci roared. "Your fate is sealed. All your companions will die!"
"I won't let that happen!"
"Let's see if you can survive this move first!"
As he spoke, Rob Lucci used Soru to appear before Luffy, grabbed him with his tail, and raised both hands, shouting, "Rankyaku: Maximum!"
"Boom!!"
The terrifying impact struck Luffy, inflicting a potentially fatal injury!
"Luffy!"
Seeing this, Usopp was about to rush forward in agitation, but Blueno did not open a door.
"Hey, ox-head, open it quickly!"
"This is Luffy's battle," Blueno said. "The path of the strong must be walked alone... Do you think Luffy would agree to you interfering in his fight?"
Usopp fell silent. He knew Luffy wouldn't agree.
Luffy, you have to keep going!
As if hearing Usopp's prayer, Luffy forcibly stopped his falling body and managed to stand up!
Seeing this, Rob Lucci's eyes widened in disbelief. At that moment, a voice echoed in his mind.
(I absolutely won't fall again until I defeat you!)
"You..."
"Gum-Gum... Jet Pistol!!"
"Ah!!!"
"Tekkai!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Countless fists slammed into Rob Lucci's body, forcing him to spit blood and smash through the wall as he was sent flying.
Thus, CP9's strongest combatant, Rob Lucci, was defeated!
"Luffy!!"
Everyone watched this scene with surprise. He had finally defeated the enemy!
Seeing this, Blueno didn't waste any words. He immediately opened an Air Door and rushed out, catching the faltering Luffy and pulling him back inside the door.
The Navy Admirals were about to arrive, and every second was precious.
"Luffy he..."
"Stop wasting time, hurry up!" Blueno interrupted Zoro. "That guy is here!"
Everyone's expressions changed. Even without Blueno's explanation, they knew who he was referring to.
Navy Admiral Aokiji!
"But Xi Yan hasn't returned yet," Nami said. "We can't abandon a comrade!"
"That's right, Ox-Head, at least..."
"Xi Yan is already on Nico Robin. Hurry and go," Blueno said, immediately activating his ability and rushing towards the Going Merry.
"On Robin is..."
A question mark appeared above Sanji's head. He clearly didn't understand what Blueno meant.
"He's right, let's go quickly," Nico Robin said, without looking back, she rushed out with Blueno.
Although Sanji was confused, he obediently followed his comrades back onto the pirate ship.
"What's going on?" Sanji asked.
"Trust me, Xi Yan is here."
As Nico Robin spoke, she glanced back at the long bridge. Quite a few Navy soldiers were already watching them, clearly having spotted the pirate ship that had suddenly appeared.
Even though she didn't know Xi Yan's purpose, she was willing to trust him.
"In that case... let's set sail!"
"Everyone, prepare for impact!" Franky ran to the back, raising his hands. "There might be some damage, but we can't afford to worry about that now!"
"Coup de Vent!"
"Boom!!"
A powerful impact struck the pirate ship, directly blowing the Going Merry away. This scene stunned the Navy soldiers on the bridge.
"The ship... the ship flew away?!"
