"It's 'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy and 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro!"
"They've come aboard the warship!"
"Don't be afraid of them! Take them down!"
On the Marine warship's deck, the Marines began shouting in alarm after Luffy and Zoro voluntarily boarded. Most pirates would only think about escaping as quickly as possible; few would take the initiative to attack the Marines.
The Marines raised their weapons. Rather than attacking immediately, they surrounded them.
Watching the Marines close in, Luffy rubbed his hungry stomach. His nose twitched as if he could smell the aroma of grilled meat wafting from the Thousand Sunny's kitchen. He swallowed and said:
"Zoro, hurry up and deal with them, then let's get back and eat Sanji's food. I'm starving now."
Zoro stretched his body and said helplessly:
"Okay, okay. You're impossible. You ate so much this morning, and you're hungry again already." Then he looked contemptuously at the Marines before him and said casually, "It'll be quick. It won't delay you for long."
The Marines were startled by Zoro's words, then grew angry. They might be famous pirates, but wasn't this looking down on the Marines too much?
Many of them had already prepared to attack at any moment.
"Dominating, proud, the contempt of a king." A strange light flickered in Wuli's eyes. "As expected of such incredibly popular characters!" Thinking about fighting these people soon made his heart race. He was a little nervous, but even more excited.
Unlike Wuli's feelings, the Marines saw this as provocation—an insult that enraged them.
As a result, many Marines stopped waiting. Some began firing at Luffy and Zoro, while others launched attacks from the flanks.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Gunshots rang out across the Marine warship as a dense barrage of bullets hurtled toward Luffy and Zoro.
The Marines' vision blurred. Luffy took a swift step forward and stood in front of Zoro. Every bullet struck Luffy's body, yet to the Marines' astonishment, they had no effect. Straw Hat Luffy's body was like rubber; the bullets simply could not pierce through it.
"Is this Straw Hat Luffy's Devil Fruit?"
Before the Marines could react, the bullets had already been bounced back by Luffy, returned to the Marines in full.
Some bullets struck the deck, leaving marks behind. Others grazed the Marines' arms and other parts of their bodies. Cries of pain echoed across the warship.
On the other side, Zoro held two swords in his hands and clenched a third between his teeth. He used the flat of his blades to knock down the charging Marines one by one, scattering them in disarray.
Shu watched the scene before him, his heart sinking. He looked at Wuli and said in a muffled voice, "Colonel Wuli, let's go."
Hearing this, Wuli put away his inexplicable feelings toward Straw Hat Luffy and Pirate Hunter Zoro.
Looking at the Marines sprawled across the ground, his expression became more serious. "All right! Leave Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro to me."
Shu paused, then said, "Can I fight him? You take Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy. I want to duel him once more."
Seeing the determination in Shu's eyes, Wuli could not help nodding.
After seeing Wuli agree, Shu moved and charged toward Zoro's back.
Zoro had just knocked down several charging Marines. Seemingly sensing something, he turned around and looked.
