"He!" Zoro pointed his sword at Wuli, suddenly at a loss for words and unsure how to explain. He said in a low voice, "I can't explain it clearly right now. I'll explain it to you later. For now..."

Suddenly, the warship began to shake violently and tilt. Wuli, Zoro, and the others could barely keep their footing.

"Ah! What's happening?!"

"What exactly happened? Why does it feel like the ship is rising?!"

The Marines aboard the warship began crying out in alarm. When someone looked beneath the ship, they saw that the sea level was rising!

"How..." Zoro was about to speak in confusion when, like Sanji, he saw the distant sea rising and was stunned.

That enormous column of water was like an inverted waterfall over the sea, its might nearly equal to the Knock Up Stream they had encountered on their way to Sky Island!

Thousand Sunny.

Nami's brows were tightly furrowed, her face full of anxiety. "Why aren't Zoro and the others back yet? If they don't return soon, things will get even worse. At this rate, we really won't be able to avoid it!"

Usopp and the others also looked anxiously toward the Marine warship!

Bang!

Bang!

Suddenly, numerous enormous columns of water erupted from the sea like inverted waterfalls, continuously rising into the sky as though connecting heaven and earth.

This made the sea even more turbulent. Huge reverse-flow waterfalls, one after another, seemed ready to seal off the entire sea area.

If this continued, they could only be swept inside. It would be no exaggeration to say the ship would be destroyed and everyone aboard would perish!

Seeing the sudden change in the sea, Sanji understood how critical the situation was. He ran to Luffy's side and picked him up.

"Move! Otherwise, we really won't be able to leave!" Sanji said with a frown.

Zoro fell silent. Sanji gritted his teeth, grabbed Zoro by the collar from behind without hesitation, and kicked off the air as he sped toward the Thousand Sunny.

"Hey! You damn cook! What are you doing?! Put me down!" Zoro snapped angrily. Wuli was getting farther and farther away, and he still had questions for that Marine colonel.

"Shut up, moss-head! Can't you see how dangerous things are right now? I don't know why you're so fixated on that Marine, but if this keeps up, we'll be in even greater danger!" Sanji said, exasperated.

Zoro fell silent. He glanced at the silent Luffy and sighed inwardly. He could only wait until the next time he met that Marine colonel to get his answers!

Only when Zoro fell silent did Sanji breathe a sigh of relief. He nimbly dodged several suddenly rising reverse-flow waterfalls, struggling somewhat as he carried the two of them back to the Thousand Sunny.

When Nami and the others saw Sanji and the others returning, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But the people aboard the Marine warship could not relax. They had just escaped the pirates' great crisis, only to encounter an even greater one!

"Colonel Wuli, what should we do now?" Shu asked. The Marines also looked toward Wuli, waiting for his orders.

After Wuli's battle with Zoro, Shu and the Marines had witnessed Wuli's strength. They instinctively began to look to him for leadership.

"Fortunately, we're on the outer edge of the waterfall eruption zone. Turn around immediately and leave this sea area!" Wuli ordered.

"Yes, Colonel Wuli!"

Wuli looked toward the center where the huge seawater columns continued to rise, where the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was. Before long, another waterfall blocked his view.

Could they get through this crisis? Could we make it through safely as well?

"Franky! Are you ready?!"

"Ready!"

"Coup de Burst!"
