Chapter 145: Alley Oop
The beluga whale was huge in size. When Nakahara Chuuya arrived, he could already see its shadow at the highest point of the port building.
Mori Ouwai stood on the rooftop of the building and looked up. Above the sky, there was originally only a small black shadow that gradually enlarged in his sight, and the speed of enlargement became faster and faster, until a red light bounced from the distance and rushed straight towards the black shadow in the sky. After the black shadow quickly enlarged for a while, it suddenly stopped its falling trend.
High in the sky, the supernatural red light almost enveloped the entire beluga whale. Perhaps because the beluga whale was too large, the red light did not cover the entire beluga whale, and a part of the metallic color was exposed.
Zhongyuan Zhongye, who was at the bottom, exerted so much force that his veins bulged. The excessive weight of the white whale, coupled with the acceleration of gravity as he had fallen nearly a thousand meters, almost broke his arm bones when his superpowers just wrapped around the white whale. Even with the resistance of the gravity superpower, the huge potential energy still pressed him down for hundreds of meters before he could barely slow down. At this time, "dirty" patterns were already faintly emerging from under his skin.
Not far from the beluga whale, Fitzgerald was watching from a distance while flying in a plane. The outline of the beluga whale could already be seen from the gull on the roof of the port building.
Finally, the red light became stronger again at a certain moment, covering the entire beluga whale in an instant, and the beluga whale, which was slowing down and falling, finally stabilized in the sky.
Mori Ogai was acutely aware that Nakahara Chuuya might have completely opened the "dirty" door.
He first tried to call Dazai Osamu, but as expected, the call didn't go through. Either his phone was lost or it was soaked in water. The possibility of no signal in his location was put on hold.
So he called Ace again.
"Ace, did you see that one over downtown?"
The pronoun was not clear, but Ace could already understand what he meant, because the white whale was now at a high altitude, and people on the ground could also see it, and even the people around Ace showed signs of panic.
[See, is that a beluga whale? That color… is Chuuya on it?]
Ace was serious for once. He knew about the Beluga whale crash plan. If it crashed in the city center, many of his friends who lived in Yokohama would be in trouble!
【Is there anything I can do? 】
He knew very well that at this time, Sen Ou would not call him unless he was needed to contribute.
"Can your Mukō Haki stop Chuuya?"
Ace was stunned: [What? ]
"You should also know that when Chuuya's special ability is fully unleashed, his condition will be very difficult to control after dealing with the white whale. I hope you can keep his attention on the seashore and hold on until Dazai Osamu comes."
【Understood.】
"I will ask Albatross to arrange a plane to take you up in a moment, so come here as soon as possible."
【good.】
After contacting Ace, Mori Ouwai gritted his teeth while holding the phone, and reluctantly dialed another person's number.
【Hello, this is Fukuzawa. 】
"Good morning, Mr. Fukuzawa." Moriogai rarely argued with him and got straight to the point, "Can you contact Dazai-kun?"
[… Chief Mori?] The other party didn’t seem to realize that it was him who called. After a moment’s reflection, he asked, [What do you want to talk to him about?]
"If you tell him that Nakahara Chuuya is dirty, he will naturally understand."
【……】
Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the hung up phone, then thought of Dazai Osamu who had just disappeared, and silently looked at Oda Sakunosuke who was staying where he was.
Oda Sakunosuke's hair fluttered in understanding, "I'll go find him right away."
…
The huge white whale in the sky was already wrapped in layers of gravity energy and was moving towards the sea. Fitzgerald looked at the direction the white whale was moving and suddenly remembered what he had overlooked -
His daughter is still waiting for him at the harbor!
If it goes in this direction, what if it goes astray and hits his daughter?!
He immediately called Scott's cell phone, and heard his daughter's puzzled voice on the other end, mixed with the sound of the cruise ship sailing and the noisy sea breeze.
"Are you guys out to sea?!"
[Yes? Akutagawa said that the beluga whale might crash into the city, so let's go out to sea to avoid it first...]
"Return! Return now!" Fitzgerald shouted, rarely losing his composure. "The white whale will fall on the seashore! Enter the harbor immediately!"
The gravity user of the port mafia doesn't know if there is anyone there, and has no idea which direction he will throw it. Going out to sea now will only increase the probability of being hit!
He heard his daughter's voice on the other end of the phone: [Xingchuan! Turn the rudder back! The beluga whale is about to crash in this bay!]
…
The beluga whale is still gradually moving towards Yokohama Port. It may be because the beluga whale is so large that it cannot move quickly even under the control of gravity. When the Bird Pirates arrived at the port, they could still see a huge red beluga whale approaching their heads.
The Albatross that Ace brought with him in the plane pursed his lips tightly, and followed the white whale not too far away. The white whale was so big that he couldn't see Chuuya Nakahara at all, and could only judge that he was still below the white whale through his supernatural power.
The beluga whale's forward movement almost stopped over the port. The people at the port looked up at the sky nervously and depressedly, fearing that the beluga whale would fall directly here.
However, after a brief stop, the beluga was suddenly thrown toward the bay and crashed heavily into the sea.
The waves surged up from the bay and poured into the harbor, and the coastal land was soon submerged. Before the Vermillion Pirates' ship could even drop anchor, it was hit by the strong waves behind it and drifted forward uncontrollably.
"Oh no! If this continues the bow of the ship will hit something!" Reina shouted anxiously.
Standing in front of the operating table, Yukikawa's fingers were shaking with anxiety. "No! This wave is too powerful, the power system can't handle it!"
Lovecraft, standing on the deck, sighed and quickly raised his body. Green tentacles wrapped around his body and extended to the outside of the cruise ship.
"It's time to work again..."
High in the sky, having lost his target, Nakahara Chuuya began to attack indiscriminately in all directions.
Albatross maneuvered the plane to narrowly avoid a gravity ball, staring nervously at the unconscious Nakahara Chuuya.
Ace stood in front of the cabin door and shouted to the cockpit: "Open the cabin door--"
Albatross did not immediately follow the order, but instead asked loudly: "What do you want to do——"
Ace didn't have the ability to manipulate gravity, and as far as he knew, he didn't have the ability to attack from a distance. He had no idea what the other party was trying to do, and he didn't dare to open the door for him.
Moreover, the plane was currently at a high altitude, and the air currents created when the beluga whale was thrown out had not yet subsided. The wind pressure outside was extremely high, and after opening the cabin door, he was still a little worried that the other party would be swept out directly.
"You open the door first, let me try first--"
Albatross gritted his teeth and opened the hatch for him: "Hold on tight, don't get blown away by the wind!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Ace grabbed the side of the hatch and felt the hurricane outside. He thought it was okay. Perhaps because his body was essentially a supernatural body, his eyes did not have the physiological reaction of being unable to open due to the wind.
He glanced at Nakahara Chuuya who was not far away, and instantly suppressed his rarely used Conqueror's Haki.
Nakahara Chuuya, who was still attacking randomly, suddenly stopped all his movements and fell straight down for a distance. But not long after, he stopped in mid-air and slowly raised his head to look at Ace.
"It seems to have caught his attention." Ace said.
Albatross glanced at the detection display in the cabin, and after looking at it, he couldn't move.
——Nakahara Chuuya, who had already fallen below them because of Ace's attack, seemed to have finally reacted. He almost turned into a stream of light and soared towards them.
He was well aware of Nakahara Chuuya's power. His scalp immediately exploded and he said in horror: "Hey, hey, hey! If he hits us, our plane will be destroyed and everyone will die!!"
"In that case, we can only think of a way to prevent him from bumping into us."
"What?"
Such a calm tone sounded quite abnormal at this moment. Albatross couldn't help but look back. Ace's whole body was already wrapped in the armed color domineering.
He clenched his fists and jumped down under the Albatross's stunned gaze.
albatross:"……"
! ! You don’t want to die! ? ?
Ace jumped out of the hatch and punched Chuuya Nakahara, who rushed over. The heavy force knocked Chuuya back at the moment of contact. In order to prevent him from rushing over again, Ace used his Conqueror's Haki to curb his opponent's actions.
Mori Ogai told him to wait until Dazai Osamu came over to remove Chuuya Nakahara's ability, but he didn't know where Dazai Osamu would come from, so he could only try to drive him to the ground. After all, Dazai Osamu couldn't fly, so the ground was the easiest place for him to reach.
The duration of the Conqueror's Haki's effect this time was much shorter than the last time. Nakahara Chuuya quickly got rid of the influence of the Haki and rushed towards him again.
This time, Ace, who had no support, grabbed his wrist and swung it, then pressed him into his arms from behind. He put his arms around him and locked his arms in front of him, crossing his fingers and clasping them tightly together.
With his arms locked, gravity could no longer pull Ace's hands apart, and could only carry him up and down.
This trick is shameless but effective. He is a pirate after all!
The albatross, who had already flown below the two people to pick them up, said: "..."
Hey guys, the Port Mafia version of the flying man is online, right?
At this time, a military helicopter flew in from a distance, and a loudspeaker on the plane amplified the voice: "Hello, hello, can you hear me? This is Dazai Osamu, and I'm testing the sound now - is that a slug below? Ah, it seems to be a flying slug now?"
The Albatross's plane was at the very bottom, and everyone was speechless when they heard the horn.
Even so, he didn't forget to hurt Chuuya at this time. He is really worthy of being Mr. Dazai.
However, Ace, who had imprisoned Nakahara Chuuya, discovered that Nakahara Chuuya suddenly calmed down and stopped struggling. In the moment when he was stunned, Nakahara Chuuya suddenly took him towards the military helicopter - even faster than when he flew with him before.
Dazai Osamu stood in front of the open cabin door just like Ace did before, one hand grasping the inside of the cabin door, the other hand holding a megaphone, looking down at them with a vague look, and his mouth was still provoking one sentence after another.
Nakahara Chuuya was very fast. Before Dazai Osamu could react, he was hit on the head by Nakahara Chuuya, whose hands and feet were tied. Along with Ace who was restrained on his back, the three of them rolled into the cabin in a ball.
