Luffy's Call: My Journey with the Straw Hats

Suddenly, a rain of sword energy, the size of cannonballs, condensed in the void around Moonlight, and then, like a meteor shower, it rained down on the naval fleet, a hundred-meter-wide deluge of steel. The sword rain was surging, and it fell with the momentum of a thousand falling stars.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Navy was immediately hit hard. Countless warships were torn to pieces, and even the battleships, unable to withstand such a terrifying baptism of sword energy, were riddled with holes and rendered useless. The sword rain was unstoppable, and all the Marines were chopped and injured. Even the five Vice-Admirals, after resisting two waves of sword energy, were bombed off their ships. The sword rain that fell from the sky was truly terrifying and unstoppable. Even Aokiji had no way to face it. His body was blasted into broken ice, and when he fell into the sea, the sea was immediately frozen.

"Amazing! Is this Moonlight's new skill?" Luffy and his group were stunned. The Franky Family, Paulie, and all the Marines on Enies Lobby who had not been able to withdraw in time were also stunned. It was too exaggerated.

"This swordsman..." everyone in CP9 took a breath. The Navy had completely lost its combat effectiveness. Did this mean that the Buster Call had been defeated by him? Though they couldn't believe it, this was a fact. Lucci looked deeply in the direction of Aokiji, a meaningful expression on his face. Then the seven of them left at an even faster speed. In any case, it was not suitable to stay here for long.

"Go," at this moment, Moonlight flew down, joined the crowd, and spoke quickly. Now that the Navy's ship had been destroyed and was blocked by ice, this was their best chance to leave.

"Moonlight, but... but we don't have a boat," Usopp snarled, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now. After all, the scene just now had been truly shocking. Sword energy like a waterfall, rushing down from the sky... how terrifying it was.

"Yes, the ship was all destroyed," Sanji said, taking a deep breath of smoke to suppress his shock. Several other people who had reacted also said one after another. The Navy had destroyed all the ships on the island just now under the order of the Buster Call, which had also cut everyone's back.

"It's okay. It's here. Let's go," however, Moonlight shook his head and suddenly jumped towards the sea.

"Moonlight!"

"Who's here?" everyone couldn't help but be at a loss, but Luffy was the first to react and then jumped into the sea.

"Go," Zoro didn't hesitate either. Although he was a little confused about the situation, since the man had spoken, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Upon seeing this, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Robin, and Chopper also jumped down. Since Moonlight had said so, it was absolutely not wrong.

At this moment, they could already vaguely see a caravel, coming quietly without knowing when. Seeing that familiar special class seat... who was it if not the Going Merry? The Merry had come to rescue them.

"Why is the Merry here?" Nami was surprised. And Usopp, thinking of something suddenly, covered his mouth, tears bursting into his eyes. "Merry... are you here to save us?"

The Moonlight Raptor's Air Rend activated, and he came first to the Merry, then lowered the ropes and pulled everyone up one by one. Finally, even Franky boarded the ship.

"Nobody?" everyone soon discovered that there was no one on the Merry. Who was driving the boat? And at this time, the Merry started sailing automatically in an unmanned state. At this time, the Gate of Justice had been closed for an unknown time, and two violent ocean currents were turbulent again. However, no matter how strong the vortex was, the Merry automatically avoided it, crossed the ocean current, and walked away like a clever navigator. The Franky Family and the others also took the giant Blue and left. All the Navy were distraught, but they could only watch them leave. Just as Luffy and the others left, the frozen sea suddenly thawed, and at the same time, a figure braving the white chill condensed on the boat. It was Aokiji. The blow of Moonlight certainly had not killed him, but the Navy had suffered a heavy loss. The sword rain that had washed down from the sky was too powerful. The Navy's warships were all vulnerable to attack. "What a terrible growth rate," thinking of the scene where Moonlight had fought against him on Long Ring Long Land half a month ago, looking at the present, Aokiji was amazed.

"Master Kuzan, we let them escape," at this time, the five Vice-Admirals also came up from the sea one after another, all in a panic. They couldn't resist the sword energy of Moonlight. Other rear-admirals commanded the Navy one after another to launch rescue and salvage operations. The loss of the Navy this time was really too great.

"Escaped? Then the Buster Call failed," Aokiji said lightly, with an expression like ice without any expression.

"Aokiji seems to be deliberate. Is he letting us go?" on the Merry, everyone celebrated the joy of rebirth, especially Robin. After passing through Enies Lobby, it could be said that her heart knot was completely opened, and everyone was laughing and laughing. Moonlight also laughed happily, especially seeing Robin untie her knot and regain her vitality. His goal was finally achieved. But thinking of the scene where Aokiji had shot, he felt something in his heart. How powerful the admiral was. Although he could fully contend now, he had been too easy to deal with this time. Before and after, the two abilities of Ice Age and Ice Block: Pheasant Beak had been used. After that, he had never shot again. This was not in line with the admiral's level. Probably from the beginning, this person had never thought of really catching Robin. Moonlight's heart was clear. Otherwise, in terms of the three highest naval combat power levels, he would definitely not be able to handle it so easily. At least now, he hadn't ignored the admiral's sword skills. Then as everyone laughed and laughed, he couldn't help but be infected. This time, the Enies Lobby operation was a complete victory. He took the hot drink handed over by Sanji and leaned comfortably on the mast, and he was deeply relieved. It was finally over now. From the beginning, when Robin had left without saying goodbye, to her ambition for life and death, his attitude had been firm, and he had even shot himself to cut off this connection with everyone, and then he had encountered CP9, chased all the way, cut off the tsunami, and at the gate of Enies Lobby, Robin had finally changed his mind, and then he had gone to the Buster Call to completely open the knot of his heart. After this series of events, he couldn't help but feel exhausted. "So tired," Moonlight murmured. After sipping the hot drink in his hand and squinting comfortably, he had to say that Sanji's cooking skills were getting better and better.

"Sorry, Moonlight," at this moment, Robin came over, looked at Moonlight, whispered softly, and then looked at the puzzled expression of Moonlight, and before he could speak, she pointed her finger at his chest. "I shot you while in Galley-La."

"Is this? Are we even?" upon hearing this, Moonlight smiled softly.

"Evened out?" now it was Robin's turn to wonder.

"When you were in Whiskey Peak, you came uninvited. Didn't I point my sword at you? You shot me, and we're even," Moonlight said softly.

"Yeah, it's even," hearing this, Robin couldn't help but laugh and raised her hand with a hot drink. Cheers.

CRACK! CLICK!

Just as everyone was laughing and laughing, and Moonlight and Robin were looking at each other and smiling, a strong wooden cracking sound suddenly sounded. Everyone was surprised to find that the Merry had disconnected from the middle.

"Merry!"

"Merry!" everyone exclaimed.

"In fact, when she was in the dock, the Merry was no longer good. It... it..." Usopp fell to his knees, crying. How was the Merry? He knew best. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. At the moment when CP9 had revealed the truth, the Merry had been sentenced to death, but there had been too many things that had happened afterwards, and everyone had forgotten for a while, and from the heart, no one had wanted the Merry to suffer this bad luck.

"After all, the Merry is only a caravel," Usopp raised his head, tears streaming down his face. "We set off from the East China Sea, upside down the mountain, the Twin Capes, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum Island, Alabasta, Jaya Island, Sky Island, G-8, and now... the Merry has withstood too much. She can no longer carry us on our voyage."

"Merry," everyone was silent, remembering every bit of being with the Merry.

"We really want to..." Nami murmured, but the last few words couldn't be said anyway, but everyone understood. Although Robin had boarded the ship late, she could not help but feel this feeling most. Franky had already cried bitterly. He was a shipwright and had a deeper love for boats than anyone else.

"Everyone... thank you so much for loving me so much," at this moment, suddenly an ethereal voice rang.

"Who?" everyone was stunned.

"It's the Merry! I saw you when I was on Sky Island," Usopp stood up immediately. "Merry, is that you? Is it you?"

"The legend of the Klabautermann is true," Franky took a breath and took the initiative to explain without waiting for everyone to wonder. "Boats are like people; they are sentimental. Only when the owner of the boat loves it very much, integrates with it, and is intimate, will there be a chance to give birth to a ship's spirit. I have also heard the legend say by the master. I didn't expect it to actually exist in the world."

"Merry!" it was okay for Franky not to explain. With this explanation, everyone collapsed again.

"Everyone, don't be sad. I'm very happy to be with you all the way through all kinds of adventures. I'm just sorry. I can no longer carry you on your voyage. I am really sorry," the Merry's voice sounded again.

"Merry..." Luffy stood up, lowered his straw hat, and turned to look at everyone. His nails were dripping with blood, but he didn't notice. "I have decided to see the Merry off." Hearing that, everyone was silent and had no opinion. Usopp also fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, but he said nothing about Luffy's decision.

"Merry, goodbye," upon seeing this, Luffy stood in the special seat.

"Goodbye," the Merry's voice sounded like a ghost in the empty valley.

"When I saw it at the dock at the time, it was actually no longer good, and it knew it itself," at this time, Iceburg, as well as everyone in the Galley-La Company, had already arrived at some point, but he did not interrupt them to say goodbye to the Merry. "But it actively asked me to let it sail for a period of time, and it had to give everyone the last ride." The other people on the boat also shed tears. They were all people who had dealt with boats for a lifetime. They had the deepest feelings with them, but they were the most able to experience this feeling.

"Just on this sea, see it off. For ships, there is nothing more suitable for a Viking funeral than the sea," Iceburg suggested gently. Everyone was silent. Luffy was decisive and made up his mind.

In the flames, the Merry gradually disappeared, accompanied by sawdust, falling from the sky like snow. And in that flame, there seemed to be a figure waving at everyone. Everyone suddenly raised their arms, as if they were bidding farewell to Vivi in Alabasta. But this time, it was a final farewell. Goodbye, Merry.

Until the Merry completely disappeared, everyone was still sad, but after returning to Water 7, after seeing the banquet that filled the entire city, especially the meat, Luffy's spirits rose. He stretched his arms and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hey, Luffy!" everyone couldn't help but be speechless, but the sadness in their hearts diminished a lot. At this time, all the citizens of Water 7 lined up in two rows, spreading flowers, applauding, screaming, and rejoicing. "Welcome back, heroes! Thank you for saving our Lord Mayor Iceburg!" Everyone was congratulating and cheering. The popularity of Iceburg in this city had reached an overwhelming level. Everyone couldn't help but slap their tongues, but they smiled at each other and took a rest toward the temporary headquarters where Iceburg was. This time, they had fought the Navy and CP9 to the death. Faced with the threat of the Buster Call, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and there were injuries on their bodies. Of course, except for Luffy. When everyone arrived, Luffy had already eaten until he was stuffed. And it was speechless; he had actually eaten while sleeping.

"This guy really refuses to let go of every meal in life," Sanji was speechless.

"What kind of freak this guy is, I still don't understand," Zoro grinned and pointed at Luffy.

"You are ashamed to say that people, aren't you a freak yourself?" upon seeing this, Usopp complained.

"Am I to blame?" Zoro was puzzled.

"Okay," Sanji nodded heavily with a solemn expression. "That green algae head is very strange to me."

"You cook! Believe it or not, I'll cut you off!" Zoro immediately ran away.

"Watch me kick you," Sanji fought against each other without giving in.

"Come on! Come on!" Usopp feared that the world would not be chaotic.

BOOM! BOOM!

"Be quiet," three violent shudders sounded. Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp had bruised noses and greeted Nami, who was furious. "Hi, Nami." Nami ignored them. After teaching the three of them, she found a place to lie down comfortably. Unlike Luffy, she was exhausted physically and mentally and just wanted to rest. Chopper also used a comfortable position, lying on the ground, breathing heavily. Seeing this, the three of them nodded and did not make any more trouble. They found a place to rest. Upon seeing Iceburg on the side, everyone retreated, leaving the food, and when they woke up, they could use it at will.

"Moonlight, aren't you tired?" Robin also found a place, lying comfortably next to Chopper, looking at these partners, with a pleasant smile on his face. He was about to rest, but suddenly he saw Moonlight standing by the door, guarding everyone. The way he looked, he couldn't help asking.

"Sleep tight," Moonlight shook his head, smiled at Robin, and walked out.

"Good night," Robin smiled sweetly and fell asleep peacefully. Where there was Moonlight, there was no safer place than here.
