Chapter 28 The Gate of Justice!
Chapter 28 The Gate of Justice!
"The gates of justice are gradually being opened, which means the Buster Call is coming soon..." Nico Robin said with a solemn expression.
Starting from the Marine Headquarters, the closest route to the Enies Lobby is through the Gate of Justice.
"Isn't that perfect?" west Yan laughed. "I'm really looking forward to it."
"Um?"
As if he had heard something, west Yan looked up and immediately saw two figures in the air.
Those were Franky and Otonashi Owl locked in combat in the air!
"You bastard, just fall into the sea and drown!!" Otonashi Owl roared.
Having been punched hard several times by this bastard, Otonashi felt like his liver was aching. He figured he should just throw him into the waterfall as soon as possible.
"Damn it, I can't move!"
Enraged, Franky tried to retaliate, but the force of the attack rendered him immobile, forcing him to passively plunge into the sea with his enemy.
"boom!!"
"The battle is incredibly intense," west Yan said.
"Are you alright...?"
west Yan didn't answer, but stared ahead with his Sharingan, or more precisely, at the two people underwater.
Franky had already broken free from the Otonashi Owl and was struggling to swim upstream.
Meanwhile, Otonashi Owl was moving in the water, seemingly trying to stop Franky, but it didn't seem to be working well.
"There are no problems for now," west Yan said.
Just then, Sanji emerged from the water and landed on the shore.
"I'm...I'm saved..."
That feeling of weakness all over his body was so unbearable that Sanji thought he was going to die.
Fortunately, he met west Yan.
"It seems that seawater is quite effective against Devil Fruit users," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "We can completely neutralize their abilities with seawater."
"Who says the ocean is the bane of ability users?" Nico Robin said.
Her original plan to deal with Crocodile was to touch his body with some seawater to disable his elemental powers, thus giving her a chance to kill him.
"Not all abilities can be solved this way." Sanji took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it, but after finding that the cigarette and the flame were both wet, he showed a really disappointed expression.
"How so?"
"Aokiji's abilities can't be countered by seawater," Sanji said. "He can freeze the ocean!"
west Yan: ......
Okay, okay, you insist on finding the most exceptional example, don't you?
How do you get rid of ice in seawater?
How did Sanji come up with this answer?
Sanji realized there was something wrong with his words, so he coughed lightly and said, "You guys defeated that Minotaur?"
"Yes, west Yan defeated him."
"Oh, right, hurry up and get his key out." west Yan immediately went over and pulled a key out of Bruno's pocket.
After trying it on Nico Robin and finding it didn't work, he said helplessly, "Looks like this isn't the right one."
"What key number is it?"
"Number 2".
"Key number 2!" Sanji exclaimed immediately. "Quick, take this key to Zoro. That idiot Usopp has locked them both up, and we need key number 2 to unlock them."
west Yan: ? ? ?
What kind of plot twist is this? Why did Usopp use seastone handcuffs to lock the two of them together? Is he planning to deal with Devil Fruit users this way?
But are the objects reversed?
Just then, Franky and Otonashi Owl emerged from the water, immediately attracting Sanji's attention.
"Franky?!" Sanji exclaimed, dumbfounded. "Why is that guy in the ocean?"
"And there's CP9..."
Did they run into the sea to fight? He hadn't even noticed. What kind of unorthodox method is this?
"They both just fell from upstairs." west Yan handed key number two to Sanji and said, "You go ahead, I'll take care of things here."
If the opponent weren't a woman, west Yan believed Sanji wouldn't have lost.
Sanji hesitated for a second before nodding and saying, "Okay, I understand."
Only Xiyan can guarantee that Franky can be rescued under these circumstances; the others do not have the ability to fly.
After taking Sanji away, Xiyan once again turned his attention to the sea, and it was at this moment that Otonashi Owl discovered Xiyan.
"Crack! Crack! Crack! ...They actually defeated Bruno?"
Otonashi Owl glanced at Xiyan with a gloomy look, then at Bruno lying down.
As partners who had survived the training camp together, they had a pretty good relationship. Now that their partner had been killed, Otonashi Owl felt particularly heavy-hearted.
"I advise you not to worry about us," west Yan said calmly.
"Hmph, don't be so arrogant." Otonashi Owl sneered, "Once I've dealt with this damned guy, I'll deal with you!"
"I will avenge Bruno!"
Then, ignoring Xi Yan's reaction, Otonashi Owl plunged into the water again, seemingly intending to finish off Franky completely.
Unfortunately, even when he knocked the waterfall down on Franky, he couldn't defeat him. Instead, he was restricted and could only use Moonwalk on one leg to fly upwards little by little.
"This guy really knows how to do things." west Yan chuckled, then called out, "Need any help, Franky?"
"No need!" Franky shouted.
west Yan nodded, not insisting.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came from above, accompanied by an incredibly wild roar.
"Aww!!!"
This sudden turn of events immediately caught west Yan's attention.
"A beast's roar?" west Yan frowned and said, "Is it that wolf?"
"Maybe."
Nico Robin knew that there were two Devil Fruit users in CP9: one was Rob Lucci, who had the Leopard-Leopard Fruit, and the other was the wolf that west Yan had mentioned.
"Hmm... there might be others as well." west Yan thought for a moment and said, "After I broke through the gate, two people ate Devil Fruits."
"It's possible that some people are of the animal type."
west Yan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what those two had done; they were so afraid that he would steal their Devil Fruit.
"Having just eaten a Devil Fruit, I might not be able to unleash its full power," Nico Robin said.
Yes, that's an optimistic view.
west Yan didn't say anything, just nodded, and then turned his gaze to the two people in the air.
Franky was sitting on Otonashi Owl's back, raising his hands towards Otonashi's head.
"1.5 times the power of a Coke, a whirlwind!"
"boom!!"
The terrifying impact force knocked the Otonashi Owl down from the sky, and the enormous power created a crater in the ground!
Otonashi Owl lay in the center of the pit, his eyes rolled back, unconscious.
"Whoosh~"
"Da~"
Franky, who had landed on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, took the key from the Otori Owl, and then quickly ran to Xiyan's side, saying, "Finally, we've taken care of this guy."
"Here you go, ninja guy. See if you can unlock Nico Robin's handcuffs."
Thank you.
I glanced at the number on the key in my hand and saw that it was 6.
west Yan tried it, but found that it couldn't be opened.
"Looks like this one won't work either."
"Then we can only wait until they defeat their opponent and then steal the key," Franky said helplessly.
Just then, he noticed the Gate of Justice opening and exclaimed, "Hey, how come this thing is almost open?!"
Does such a massive gate of justice need to be fully opened for ships to pass through?
Wait... is it because of the Buster Call?
"It seems we don't have much time left." west Yan grabbed Bruno from the ground and dragged him backward, saying, "Let's go find them first."
"oh!"
"Wait... what are you doing with this guy?"
"It will be useful in a moment."
"Got it." Franky nodded, seemingly understanding, then glanced back at the Gates of Justice and said, "The Buster Call...?"
Perhaps today... they will make history.
