Miracle!

Yes, the Going Merry!

This pirate ship, declared beyond repair by the professionals of Water Seven, now charged through the waves on the wind.

She fearlessly broke through the Gods of Water, which could destroy everything, and miraculously reached Judicial Island, all to save the partners she had spent so long with from hell!!

"Merry!!"

Usopp cried uncontrollably, unable to describe how he felt at that moment.

Merry, who had been cast out to sea by CP9, had come to Judicial Island to save them. How could he not be moved?

As that ship drew closer and closer, the other Straw Hat Pirates trembled with excitement as well. They had truly seen Merry!

"Th... This is impossible?!"

Franky stared at this scene in disbelief. He simply could not believe his eyes.

He had inspected that ship himself and knew its condition clearly. Its keel had been damaged, leaving no possibility of repair, much less sailing.

Yet now, that ship had not only crossed the Gods of Water, but appeared here completely intact?

What an incredible miracle this was?!!

"The Going Merry..."

Blueno, controlled by Xi Yan, also looked shocked as he watched Merry draw closer.

Nami had told him that this ship had been sentenced to death, during that time they had whispered together.

But now, this ship actually... This was simply a miracle!

"A miracle..." Sanji murmured.

To be honest, their current situation truly was a desperate situation.

Even if Xi Yan could seize a navy warship, how fast could a warship filled with so much water possibly move?

And this time, a Marine Admiral was coming, someone with the terrifying power to freeze the sea!

Could they really escape someone like that using a waterlogged warship?

But now, their Going Merry had come... She had appeared in the midst of this desperate situation!!

Th... How could this not excite them!

"Merry!"

Tears welled in Nami's eyes, and for a moment, she did not know how to express her feelings.

This was simply a ray of hope in the depths of despair!

(Everyone, let's return to that sea of adventure together!)

"Merry!!!"

"To be honest, after living this long, this is the first time I've seen such a miracle..." Kokoro murmured.

She no longer drank from the bottle in her hand, instead staring fixedly at that pirate ship.

Legend had it that if a crew loved and cared for their ship deeply enough, a legendary creature might be born upon the sea: a Ship Spirit!

And a ship with a Ship Spirit could accomplish all kinds of incredible things. She just did not know whether this ship was truly as she imagined...

At that moment, Kokoro had the urge to go aboard and take a look.

If she had the chance to see a legendary Ship Spirit, then when her day came, she could have a proper talk with Tom.

"No matter what, this gives us a better chance of escaping." Franky calmed down and said, "I can use Coup de Vent to propel this pirate ship. We can shoot out a great distance in one go."

Though they did not know whether they could escape the Marine Admiral this way, they had to at least try.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Luffy and the others." Usopp said. "We'll bring them back first."

"Alright."

Blueno did not waste words. He immediately activated his ability and brought everyone to the battlefield where Luffy was.

At this point, Luffy and Rob Lucci's battle had already reached its most intense stage!

"Straw Hat, do you think you can defeat me?!" Rob Lucci roared. "Your ending is destined to remain unchanged. Your companions will all die!"

"I won't let that happen!"

"Talk after you survive this move first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rob Lucci used Shave to appear in front of Luffy. He grabbed Luffy with his tail, then raised both hands and shouted, "Rokuogan: Maximum Wheel!"

"BOOM!!"

Terrifying impact force struck Luffy's body, inflicting a potentially fatal injury!

"Luffy!"

When Usopp saw this scene, he immediately tried to rush out in agitation, but Blueno did not open the door.

"Hey, bullhead, open it already!"

"This is Luffy's battle." Blueno said. "The path of a strong person must be walked alone... Do you think Luffy would agree to you interfering in his battle?"

Usopp fell silent. He knew Luffy would never agree.

Luffy, you have to keep going!

As if he had heard Usopp's prayer, Luffy forcibly stopped his falling body and stood back up!

Seeing this, Rob Lucci's eyes widened in disbelief. At that moment, this man's voice appeared in his mind.

(Before I knock you down, I will never fall again!)

"You..."

"Gomu Gomu no... Jet Pistol!!"

"Aaaah!!!"

"Iron Body!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

Countless fists slammed into Rob Lucci, beating him until he spat blood and crashed through a wall, flying away.

Thus, CP9's strongest fighter, Rob Lucci, was defeated!

"Luffy!!"

Everyone watched this scene in delight. This man had finally defeated his enemy!

Without wasting words, Blueno immediately opened an Air Door and rushed out. He caught the nearly collapsing Luffy, then returned to the Air Door.

The Marine Admiral was about to arrive. Every second was precious.

"Luffy, he..."

"Stop talking and move!" Blueno cut Zoro off. "That guy is here!"

Everyone's expressions changed. Even without Blueno explaining, they knew who he meant.

Marine Admiral Aokiji!

"But Xi Yan hasn't returned yet." Nami said. "We can't abandon a Partner!"

"That's right, bullhead, at least..."

"Xi Yan is already on Nico Robin. Hurry up and go." After saying that, Blueno immediately activated his ability and charged toward the Going Merry.

"On Robin...?"

A question mark appeared over Sanji's head. Clearly, he did not understand what Blueno meant.

"He's right. Let's go." After speaking, Nico Robin followed Blueno out without looking back.

Though Sanji was confused, he obediently followed his companions back onto the pirate ship.

"What exactly is going on?" Sanji asked.

"Trust me. Xi Yan is here."

As she spoke, Nico Robin glanced at the Long Bridge behind them. Quite a few Marines were already watching them there, clearly having discovered the pirate ship that had suddenly appeared.

Though she did not know Xi Yan's purpose in doing this, she was willing to trust him.

"If that's the case... then let's set off!"

"Everyone, brace for impact!" Franky ran to the back and raised his hands. "It may cause some damage, but we can't worry about that now!"

"Coup de Vent!"

"BOOM!!"

The tremendous impact struck the pirate ship, directly blowing the Going Merry into the air. This left all the Marines on the bridge dumbfounded.

"The... The ship flew away?!"
