Water Heart: Ocean Current Shoulder Throw

"What?"

"Why are they here?"

At the sight, Luffy and the others all turned to Sanji, utterly confused.

Hadn't Sanji fallen out with them? What was going on? Yet Sanji himself was completely stunned as he stared at the four who had acted. What did these guys mean? Didn't they look down on him completely?

At the same time, the Vinsmoke Family's ships charged over, taking the lead as they rammed toward the Big Mom Pirates.

They looked as though they were taking point and clearing a path for the Straw Hat Crew!

"I don't understand what they mean, but it looks like they're helping us!"

Though they were puzzled, the moment Germa 66 made their move, everyone felt much more at ease.

Nami could not help but let out a breath of relief.

"No matter what their purpose is, this is a good opportunity!"

Jinbe nodded as well. Taking the helm himself, he prepared to break through!

As the captain of the Sun Pirates and a powerful fish-man, his seamanship was unmatched.

With the Thousand Sunny's helm in his hands, the entire ship seemed to come alive, moving with incredible agility.

Hearing this, Luffy and the others immediately focused and stayed on guard, ready to break out.

Though Sanji was utterly baffled, this clearly was not the time for questions! "Germa, is it? Perfect timing. You can sink to the bottom with the Straw Hat Crew!"

At that moment, the Big Mom Pirates sneered when they saw Germa 66 make their move.

They immediately opened fire.

Countless cannonballs blasted forth at once, dense enough to leave no blind spots across the sea!

Though Ichiji and the other three were immensely powerful, able to withstand guns and cannons with their high-tech combat suits and Lineage Factor modifications, the barrage was simply too dense. Their advance was immediately stopped, forcing them back again and again.

It was not that they were weak—the Big Mom Pirates' firepower was simply too terrifying! After all, these were all elites! "As expected of the Big Mom Pirates. Not only is Big Mom herself monstrously powerful, but every one of her subordinates is a strong fighter. The situation is extremely unfavorable for us!"

"We can't keep this up, or we're really finished!"

"The enemy barrage is too dense. Unless we can tear open a gap, there's no way through!"

Seeing this, Luffy and the others struck repeatedly, but the enemy encirclement was simply too terrifying. To protect the Thousand Sunny, they could only use their strength to a limited extent!

"Mr. Moonlight, can you cut open a gap?"

Jinbe gritted his teeth and looked toward Moonlight.

In this situation, Moonlight was confined to the space around the ship and could not fully unleash his strength! "I can, but I need three seconds!"

Moonlight nodded.

To protect the Thousand Sunny from being destroyed, he could not move even half a step. The enemy's attack range was also far too wide for him to act freely! But if he had three seconds, he could tear open a breach! "Three seconds? All right, leave it to me!"

Jinbe nodded gravely, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on the sea ahead. His eyes instantly turned sharp!

Then he leaped into the sea. The waters around them immediately began to surge violently.

In the blink of an eye, a section of the sea current around the Thousand Sunny condensed into a mass, roaring like a waterfall with Jinbe at its center.

The next moment, Jinbe stood in the sea and flung the waterfall over his shoulder like a shoulder throw, hurling it toward the Big Mom Pirates ahead! "Water Heart: Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!"

In an instant, the waterfall-like current swept across the sea ahead. Every cannonball hurtling toward them was struck by the current and immediately lost its original force.

"Mr. Moonlight, now!"

Jinbe shouted at Moonlight.

"Got it!"

Moonlight had begun the moment Jinbe made his move, Black Blade already in hand.

A massive crescent-shaped Sword Aura condensed along the blade. Three seconds later, it burst forth!

Centered on Moonlight, an enormous crescent-shaped Sword Aura, a full three hundred meters long, violently spread in every direction across the surrounding sea.

The Sword Aura covered an immense area, spanning a full kilometer. Every ship of the Big Mom Pirates in the distant waters was struck by its cutting force!

The next moment, more than a hundred ships were cleanly sliced in two! Countless pirates fell into the sea as their ships began to collapse!

The sea ahead immediately descended into chaos! One strike had destroyed a hundred ships! Seeing this, Jinbe gave Moonlight an emphatic thumbs-up, filled with admiration. This was not merely tearing open a gap—it had completely destroyed everything before them!

He immediately took the helm and steered the Thousand Sunny away at top speed.

Luffy and the others did not dare waste a moment either. This was the best opportunity they could have hoped for! "This man's strength is unfathomable!"

"One strike destroyed a hundred ships. That's incredible!"

"Is he really only evenly matched with Hawkeye? I feel like Hawkeye shouldn't be his opponent!"

Ichiji and the other three stared at the scene in utter shock.

Aboard the Germa 66 ship, Judge and the rest of the Vinsmoke Family were equally stunned.

But they were soon jolted awake by the Big Mom Pirates, who had begun moving again in every direction, and immediately sprang into action.

The Big Mom Pirates would not be defeated so easily!

The danger was far from over!

They had only broken through the blockade. What came next were the pursuers!...

"Have we finally escaped?"

At that moment, Jinbe controlled the Thousand Sunny. The ship seemed to fly over the sea, racing forward and swiftly leaving Whole Cake Island far behind. Seeing the pursuers vanish behind them, Nami let out a breath of relief and asked.

"Not yet. The Big Mom Pirates haven't shown their true strength yet!"

But Jinbe immediately shook his head.

He had once been with the Big Mom Pirates, so he naturally understood their terrifying power. Though they had temporarily broken through the blockade and escaped, they were still far from truly getting away! "Their true strength hasn't even been revealed yet!"

"One of the Four Emperors, Big Mom!"

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

Even now, the Big Mom Pirates had not revealed their true strength?

If that was the case, then Big Mom was far too terrifying! "Jinbe is right. The Big Mom Pirates' true strength is only beginning to show itself now!"

But at that moment, Moonlight suddenly spun around and looked behind them, his expression uglier than ever.

She was one of the Four Emperors. How could she possibly be dealt with so easily! Seeing this, everyone looked in the same direction.

They immediately saw at least a thousand ships suddenly cutting through the waves behind them, rapidly giving chase.

And every ship carried at least a hundred people!
