Within Enies Lobby's main island, Luffy, who had broken in, was surrounded by countless Marine soldiers and government troops.
At a glance, the streets, alleys, and even rooftops were packed with guards dressed in various uniforms.
Hundreds of bullets tore through the air and struck Luffy.
However, ordinary bullets were clearly useless against Luffy's rubbery body. He thrust himself forward, and the bullets ricocheted back at the Marine soldiers even faster.
Before the Marines who had fired could shoot another round, their own bullets struck their bodies under their terrified gazes.
With so many Marines crammed into the narrow street, not only was there no room to dodge, but they also made perfect targets. In that single volley, over a hundred Marines were injured.
