Chapter 91: Fight Smoker Again!
Zoro's expression froze.
He wanted to refute it, but then he remembered the last time he took the map and led Johnny and Yosaku.
He can only swallow his anger and bear the consequences.
Gawain glanced at him: "You and Sanji will stay on Pala Island together."
Then he looked at Kuro and Nami: "You guys come with me; Nami will plan the sailing route."
"Yes, captain."
The two responded at the same time.
Soon, the pirates in the harbor have been counted.
Gawain took Nami and Kuro onto the fastest sailing ship. With only a dozen pirates, he sailed out of the harbor according to the route set by Nami.
Behind the ship, Pala Island gradually disappeared at the end of sight.
In the distant sea, the sea breeze was howling, the clouds in the sky were as thick as lead, and lightning flashed from time to time.
Nami held the nautical chart in one hand and a pen in the other and began to calculate repeatedly, but her brows were getting more and more furrowed.
After a few minutes, she couldn't help but speak: "Captain, according to the current situation, Raven Harbor and a large area of nearby sea area are in the midst of a storm."
"With the structure of this ship, I'm afraid it won't last long sailing at this time."
Gawain slowly pulled out Guanze Masamune, and the sharp blade reflected the lightning.
On the sea in the distance, a huge wave more than ten meters high hit head-on, but the next moment, it was torn into pieces by a silver-white light.
Puff!
The seawater rained down on the deck.
Gawain looked indifferent and said: "Just plan the shortest route. With me here, this ship won't sink!"
Gawain held the sword in his hand, his tone revealing absolute confidence.
Only then did he realize that he had become qualified to challenge the sea head-on.
No matter how huge the waves are, just cut them into pieces with one slash!
Kuro pushed his glasses inconspicuously, looked at the sword in Gawain's hand, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Not long ago, a storm could have made Gawain and himself extremely embarrassed, but now this man can ignore it. How much has his fighting power increased?
Is Gawain getting stronger faster than him?
His judgment turned out to be correct. He had been secretly working on his own without telling any of us, and he was even more competitive than he was.
That light-hearted attitude is just to lull us into complacency!
Damn it!
For a while, in Kuro's mind, Gawain's insidiousness reached a new level.
Nami looked at Kuro suspiciously, then turned her attention to Gawain, her lips curled up slightly: "In that case, leave the sailing to me!"
"Even though they set sail much earlier than us, there is only one way to enter the Grand Line from the East Blue, and that is to cross the Red Line."
"And the only way to cross the Red Line is to cross the Reverse Mountain. We just need to get there faster than they can."
The boat was rocking along with the waves.
Nami sat on the deck, gradually outlining a perfect route on the nautical chart.
"That's it!"
"Helmsman, full left! Thirty degrees!"
"Yes!"
Following Nami's instructions, the ship changed its course and rushed towards the deepest part of the storm.
Countless huge waves swept in but were torn apart by a silver-white flying slash.
Gawain stood at the bow, opening up a new route for everyone.
At the same time, a warship set out from Loguetown and plunged into the storm.
On the deck of the warship, white smoke rose.
Smoker held two cigars in his mouth and looked at the distant sea with a serious expression.
Standing next to him was Tashigi, who carefully explained the latest information.
"It has been confirmed."
"The pirates who escaped from Loguetown before were subordinates of Hanafuda, one of the seven warlords of the sea. The bounties on both Lache and Labu are over 50 million. They are both Zoan fruit users."
"They attacked Raven Harbor yesterday afternoon for unknown reasons. They have now sailed back to the Grand Line."
"Captain Smoker, this is about the seven warlords of the sea. Even if we have an order from Mr. Zephyr, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the World Government if we really capture them."
"Explain?"
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's up to them to give an explanation to the world!"
"The incident at Raven Harbor just ended not long ago, and even the reconstruction of the harbor has not been completed yet."
"Hey, Tashigi, you won't forget it, right?"
"The looks from those civilians!"
"It was alright last time, but now I will never let these pirates go!"
Smoker took off the Nanashaku Jitte behind him and said: "We must keep these bastards in the East Blue!"
"Yes!"
The huge warship is not afraid of wind and waves. Even in a storm, its sailing speed is much faster than that of an ordinary pirate ship.
But with the passage of time.
The storm sweeping across East Blue has not only subsided but has shown a tendency to intensify.
The turbulent sea shows a deep black color.
The rushing sea water seems to swallow up everything it touches.
In the endless storm, Smoker had long forgotten the time. He only knew that the marines on the deck were replaced one after another.
Finally, the sea in the distance calmed down, and the sky after the storm was cloudless and frighteningly clear.
Only on the distant sea, the skull and crossbones flag with a round shield on the pirate ship was too dazzling, to the point that it could not be ignored.
Smoker took the telescope and immediately saw the figure standing on the deck. "White Knight Gawain!"
In just a moment, Smoker changes his plan to pursue Lache and Labu and directly sets his target on Gawain: "This guy... Is far more dangerous than Hanafuda's men!"
"Chase them!"
Gawain naturally noticed the warship in the distance, but at the moment, he was focused on chasing Labu and Lache and had no intention of getting entangled with the Marines.
He directly orders the ship to speed up and leave the warships in the distance behind.
But only in the next moment.
Red flames rose from the warships in the distance, and a cannonball grazed the pirate ship under Gawain's feet and fell into the sea…
Boom!
The water column shot up into the sky, reflecting Gawain's livid face.
"Shame on you!"
As the voice fell, Gawain raised his hand and swung his sword in front of him, cutting the incoming shells in mid-air.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
There was a series of explosions; bursts of fire rose up in the air, and black smoke obscured everyone's vision.
Smoker in the distance was looking at the pirate ship and saw a figure rushing out from the flames, holding a sword, and rushing towards the warship under his feet.
"Gawain!"
Smoker roared, and his cape fluttered behind him without wind.
Thinking of the disastrous defeat he had suffered at Gawain's hands and the attitude of the civilians in Raven Harbor, he felt aggrieved.
Fortunately, all of this will be washed away today!
"For this day, in order to keep you in the East Blue, I have obtained guidance from Mr. Zephyr to defeat you!"
As Smoker spoke, thick white smoke rose up around him, almost completely covering the entire warship.
The white smoke twisted and deformed, condensing into the shape of fists.
What really concerned Gawain was the dark Armament Haki on the fist formed by the white smoke!
