Chapter 114: Wreaking Havoc on Enies Lobby!

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Wreaking Havoc on Enies Lobby! Chapter 114: Wreaking Havoc on Enies Lobby! In the first half of the Grand Line, Enies Lobby – Judiciary Island. The surrounding sea was shrouded in dark clouds. Although the torrential rain had gradually subsided, the sea surface was still far from calm. Across the vast, darkness-enveloped sea, only above Enies Lobby did the sky seem to have a giant hole blasted through it. Sunlight shone unimpeded onto the island. Though it was supposedly nighttime across the entire sea region, Enies Lobby alone was uniquely bright. Woo— Woo— Woo! A train slowly decelerated as it rolled into the station before Enies Lobby’s main gate. Large numbers of Marine soldiers and agents dressed in black stood ramrod straight, arranged in two rows, clearly having waited for a long time. "This Sea Train, how..." "Don’t know. Could it have been attacked?" "Shh— Quieter! The big shots are about to arrive." Everyone, upon seeing the Sea Train arrive with only two carriages remaining besides the locomotive, began whispering to each other in confusion. "Hisss—!" (Sound of steam train stopping) Once the Puffing Tom came to a complete halt, the carriage doors opened, and several figures in black slowly emerged. "It really has been a long time," Kalifa said, lifting a hand to tuck a strand of golden hair behind her ear, sighing with emotion. "Five years since I left, and this place hasn’t changed at all. A pity it’s going to be destroyed soon." "Let’s hurry," Lucci said, hands in his pockets. Ignoring the agents who came forward to exchange pleasantries, he walked straight towards the island’s interior. "The Navy’s ten warships have already assembled and departed from Marineford. They will arrive here in about 30 minutes." "What is that idiot commander up to now?" Kaku followed, his expression calm. He was clearly already accustomed to Spandam’s antics. "Let’s just hope the Straw Hat crew doesn’t arrive before the warships bomb this island into oblivion." "The Marines probably won’t open fire easily." Kalifa adjusted her glasses. "The Buster Call authority was granted by Aokiji. A Marine Admiral wouldn’t do something as absurd as bombarding Enies Lobby, would he?" Kalifa clearly underestimated Aokiji’s capricious nature; whether Enies Lobby was destroyed or not wasn’t something Aokiji particularly cared about. A Marine officer shouted towards the rear. "Where are Oimo and Kashi!?" "The two giants are sleeping!" "Quick, wake them up! Open the main gate!" The soldiers at the front began to bustle about. CP9, leading Nico Robin and Franky, slowly walked behind them. RUMBLE!! As the giant main gate slowly opened, the group walked straight into the island’s interior. Enies Lobby wasn’t particularly large; advancing directly, they soon arrived at the deepest building – the Tower of Justice. "I’m such an idiot... truly..." Inside a spacious office, Spandam sat behind his desk, looking utterly dejected. "Why did I activate the Buster Call!? I had just captured Nico Robin and Franky, helping the World Government obtain the two keys to awaken the Ancient Weapons..." As he spoke, Spandam’s face contorted with anger. He slammed his large hand on the desk with a ’bang!’. "This should have been a great merit! Bastard! If Enies Lobby is destroyed on my watch, I’ll probably be punished for it!!" "Commander, I have an idea!" Jabra had a flash of inspiration, his shifty eyes looking at Spandam. "How about we later frame Lucci for this? As long as you make me the CP9 captain, I’ll cooperate with you, how about it?" "Ohohoho!" Spandam’s interest was immediately piqued. "Wait a minute! This might actually be a good idea!" "Aiya, you let me hear that." Nearby, Fukurou unzipped his mouth, his round face splitting into a wide grin. "What to do? I might accidentally tell them later." "Ah! Shut up quickly!!" Jabra frantically pounced, pinning Fukurou down on the sofa, struggling to force his mouth shut. "Bastard owl! What on earth is that zipper on your mouth for!!" "Ahem! That was Jabra’s idea just now." Spandam immediately distanced himself, waving his hands with an awkward smile. "This Commander has always shown great care for his subordinates. How could I possibly do such a thing?" Creak~~ The main door suddenly opened, and several familiar figures walked in, followed by two people with their hands cuffed. "Wahahaha!" Spandam immediately burst into laughter upon seeing them. "My dear subordinates! It’s been five years! Welcome back!" "Commander, that is sexual harassment," Kalifa stated coldly. "Nani!!" Spandam waved his hands frantically, yelling, "I didn’t even say your name just now!" Just then, a voice came from the side. "Lucci! Kaku! I just discovered a secret!" "Can’t even last a minute, damn it!!" Jabra’s eyeballs nearly flew towards Fukurou. "But before that..." Fukurou suddenly pushed off forcefully, his round, massive body charging towards Lucci and the others. Blueno stepped forward directly, punching him towards Kaku. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! After being sent flying back and forth between them like a balloon, Fukurou landed steadily, pressing his fingertips together and closing his eyes. "Rokushiki Game: Te-awase!" (Hand Combat / Power Level Measurement) "Here it comes! Here it comes! I’m going to announce the results!" "Kalifa, 630." "Blueno, 820." "Kaku... Doriki value is 2200!" "Hey! What’s going on!?" Hearing Kaku’s Doriki value, Jabra instantly yelled, dissatisfied, "How did you get stronger!? It’s even higher than mine!" "And finally... Lucci..." Fukurou’s eyes instantly widened. "4000!!" "—Hiss!" Spandam sucked in a breath of cold air. If an armed soldier’s Doriki value was 10, then over 500 was comparable to superhuman. Four thousand... what did that even mean!? Ten times superhuman!! "Truly worthy of being my subordinates! Wahahaha!" Spandam laughed triumphantly. Commanding such powerful underlings, what difficulty would there be in realizing his ambitions!? "Laughing too loudly for a Commander with a Doriki of 9," Kalifa mocked coldly. Hearing this, Spandam grimaced and yelled, "I’m the Commander! Fighting is your job as subordinates! Why would I need to be that strong!?" Reiner, for one, approved of this sentiment. "I heard everything just now. You’re planning to frame us for the Buster Call, aren’t you?" Lucci said coolly, sitting down unconcernedly on the sofa. "We’re doomed! He heard everything!!" Spandam stared dumbfounded, collapsing to the floor. Meanwhile, the dark clouds in the surrounding sea gradually dispersed. Out on the ocean, ten warships were sailing towards Enies Lobby at an abnormally fast speed. In the first half of the Grand Line, a giant whirlpool exists in the sea region before the Red Line. Marine Headquarters Marineford, the undersea prison Impel Down, and the Judiciary Island Enies Lobby each stand by a giant Gate of Justice at the edge of this whirlpool, forming a triangular current exclusive to the World Government. The direction flows sequentially from Headquarters to Enies Lobby, then to Impel Down, and finally back to Headquarters. Traveling along this triangular current, the speed of the warships was hardly slower than the Sea Train. Buster Call arrival countdown—20 minutes! Meanwhile, on the other side of Enies Lobby, separated from the warships... "Everyone! We can see the island!" Granny Kokoro’s loud shout came from the driver’s cabin into the carriage. The Straw Hat crew immediately became excited. After successively one-shotting the enemies left in several detached train carriages to block their way, the group finally arrived at Enies Lobby aboard the runaway Sea Train. Luffy, leading the charge, jumped out of the train window onto the locomotive’s head – his special seat on the Rocketman. Besides Reiner, probably no one else could understand his thought process. "So that’s Judiciary Island, right!?" Luffy stretched out his hand, gazing towards the distant island illuminated by a beam of light tearing through the darkness. "That place is said to never experience night, a land of eternal day, symbolizing absolute light and fairness," Reiner, following behind, stated coolly. Light my ass. The World Government just loves these kinds of flashy, ostentatious things. "But... how do we get onto the island?" Sanji lit a cigarette and walked forward, looking at the giant iron fence surrounding the entirety of Enies Lobby. "That fence isn’t going to open for us, is it?" "Just cut it down," Zoro and the others also came out. "—Yosh!" Luffy’s eyes burned with determination, staring at Enies Lobby. "Let’s charge straight in! Begin Operation Save Robin!" "At least consider how we’re getting back, idiot," Reiner said helplessly. "That fence is all yours, Zoro. I’ll stop the train, and then the Super Express Shrimp can take us ashore." As he spoke, Reiner shouted down to the driver’s cabin below, "Granny Kokoro! Is there enough fuel to get back?" "Hahaha! Relax! Not enough!" Reiner: "." "Don’t say it so matter-of-factly, old hag!" Reiner cursed, then rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Enies Lobby has a station too, right? I’ll send my undead to find some fuel later. You just stay on the train and manage the furnace." "Hahaha! Of course, I’m not going ashore!" Granny Kokoro grinned widely. "I’m the Sea-Moving Station administrator! What if I get recognized and lose my World Government rice bowl? After you guys go in, remember to say you kidnapped me, okay?" —Hiss! Reiner sucked in a breath of cold air. She’s still a civil servant!?!! Reiner summoned the Blue and Red Ogres. It had to be said, these two brothers were truly useful, incredibly strong with immense physical power. He was very fortunate to have obtained their templates upon entering the Grand Line; it saved him a lot of detours. Otherwise, relying on those undead from his East Blue days, he would have struggled immensely even in the first half of Paradise. The Blue and Red Ogres leaped out, landing on the tracks, turning to face the Rocketman head-on. "Hey! You there! Square-Head Sisters!" Reiner turned and called out to the Franky Family members behind him. "Have the King Bulls put in some effort! We need to stop the train!" "Leave it to us, handsome blondie!" "Watch our Su——Per! The might of the King Bulls!" The two sisters raised their hands above their heads, striking a strange pose with one hip jutting out. After speaking, they knelt on the ground and wailed, "Sure enough, with Big Bro not around, there’s no spirit at all~~" Reiner: "." BOOM!! Soon, with the King Bulls exerting their strength, the train suddenly lurched and began to slow down slightly. BANG—BANG!! The train, carrying immense momentum, crashed into the oncoming Blue and Red Ogres. The two Ogres braced their shoulders against the locomotive’s front, hands pushing hard, meeting force with force, but were continuously pushed backward. The tracks emitted a piercing screech. Sparks even flew from the Ogres’ feet scraping against the sea surface as the train rapidly decelerated. Witnessing this scene, Zambai was dumbfounded. "These two guys are too terrifying! Is this ship full of monsters!? How strong must their captain be!?" Looking towards Luffy, standing resolutely at the bow of the train, the Franky Family gradually became deified in their minds. First, there was that chef fellow, Roronoa Zoro, the Blue and Red Ogres, and also the little girl who had casually buried them in raging sand earlier... "Just how powerful must a person be to become the captain of this ship..." Zambai couldn’t help but marvel. Reiner looked strangely at Luffy. Could it be... he’s developing in the direction of ’Luck King’? Hisss—! The train slowly came to a stop before the Enies Lobby fence. Zoro drew his sword, and with an Ushioni technique, directly sliced an opening through it. Dawn light pierced through the hole in the clouds above, falling upon everyone’s faces. Six figures stood at the forefront, leaving an unfathomably profound impression on the Franky Family behind them. Hm? Why six people? "Where’s Luffy?" "Don’t know. Wasn’t he just here?" "If I’m not mistaken... that should be him up there." Reiner raised his hand, gazing towards the sky. A black dot was flying over the main gate at extreme speed, heading into the island’s interior. "He’s an IDIOT!!" x5 Reiner summoned the Super Express Shrimp. The group jumped on and headed straight for the shore. At the same time, Luffy’s intrusion also alerted the forces stationed on the island. "Intruder sighted!" "Quick! Report to those above!" Above the main gate, a Marine officer looked up at Luffy flying overhead and roared: "Confirmed! It’s the Straw Hat crew! Notify the Law-Hound Squad to prepare for engagement! And where are Oimo and Kashi!?" "Reporting, Captain! They went back to sleep again!" "Those two slacking bastards! Quick, go wake them up!" The Marine Captain gritted his teeth. Looking down at Reiner and the others about to land, he drew the longsword from his waist, pointed it towards the sky, and ordered: "There are still enemies below! Artillery squad, provide covering fire! Everyone else, follow me out to engage!" "Yes, sir!" The Super Express Shrimp, carrying the six members of the Straw Hat crew, charged headfirst towards Enies Lobby. At this moment, the shore was already packed with Marine soldiers and agents. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Several large cannons on the roof of the main gate building roared to life. Gunsmoke, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, billowed out as a dense barrage of black cannonballs tore through the air towards them. "Quite the grand welcome." Reiner stood at the very front, hands in his pockets. "We should return the favor a bit, shouldn’t we?" Zing—! A sword hummed. From behind Reiner, a green slash, like a circling bird of prey, flew out. "108 Pound Phoenix!" As his voice fell, all the cannonballs in mid-air were sliced in two. Boom! Boom! Boom! Blinding white light flashed as intense explosions accompanied by spreading flames erupted. The wind pressure whipped Reiner’s golden hair wildly. "It’s Roronoa Zoro, bounty 60 million!" "Don’t be afraid! Continue firing!" The Marine soldiers, undaunted, raised their rifles and unleashed a covering fire on the Straw Hat crew entering their range. A dense hail of bullets, like a torrential downpour, peppered the sea surface, kicking up countless ripples. Some rounds flew straight towards them. Yet, they were blocked by a sand wall that materialized out of thin air, the bullets sinking into it like mud into the sea, scattering countless fine grains of sand before sliding harmlessly down. "Damn it! Guns are useless!" "The cannons can’t break through either!" "Fall back! Wait for them to land, then engage in close combat!" The leading Captain waved his hand and roared, his expression grim as he retreated. "Such suppressive firepower even before we’ve landed." Reiner smirked, the flying sand around him dispersing at his will. "The main entrance should be kept clean. Go clear the field." Just as his words fell, Frieren’s figure instantly darted out from behind him. Her white twin tails fluttered in the wind as she, in mid-air, pointed her staff towards the congregated Marine soldiers below. Pfft! A cluster of flame erupted from the tip of her staff, then rapidly expanded. Great Fire Annihilation! In an instant, a sky-filling sea of fire, carrying terrifying heat waves, burst forth, sweeping madly towards the Marine soldiers at extreme speed! "Run!!!" Faced with the towering wall of fire, like a monstrous tidal wave, countless Marines scrambled to flee in panic. Some, however, simply stood rooted to the spot, expressions despairing, trembling as they watched the inferno approach. "It’s no use... can’t dodge..." BOOM!!! The ultra-wide-range attack exploded before the main gate! The open ground, devoid of any obstacles, left the Marines with nowhere to hide. The entire shore was engulfed in soaring flames, the very ground sizzling and crackling from the heat. In an instant, the hundreds of Marines at the entrance were swept away! The fiercely burning flames, like a long dragon, flew back into the staff and dissipated, revealing a barren, scorched earth, continuously emitting steam and rising white smoke. The Marines on the ground lay scattered. Only the Captain, covered in burns, struggled to lift his head. Watching the several figures effortlessly land on Enies Lobby and slowly approach, the Captain gasped out intermittent, hoarse sounds: "Enies Lobby... for eight hundred years... has been..." "...invaded!" Thump! Just as his words faded, he collapsed, his face filled with unwillingness, eyes rolling back white as he fainted. At this moment, time remaining until the arrival of the Headquarters warships—15 minutes!
