Merry is injured
When Bingzhi saw Merry injured, his eyes instantly ignited with rage.
He roared, quickly turning and charging towards the pirates besieging Merry.
"Ga Ga!" Meng Shida also rushed over with all his strength.
However, the number of pirates in the opposing group was too large, and Punch and Mengshida were quickly surrounded. As soon as they knocked down the pirates around them, new pirates rushed up, and they could not separate at all.
Seeing that the situation was still favorable to him, Joseph laughed triumphantly and said, "You keep them captive, and the rest of you go into the cabin and move out all the treasures."
"!" When Meli heard what Joseph said, he became anxious and sprayed out another powerful stream of water at the pirates who were rushing towards the cabin.
This water column was more powerful. The pirate was hit by the water column, screamed, and staggered to the ground.
The other pirates didn't even look at him and continued to run into the cabin, completely unconcerned about the miserable plight of their companions.
"Ga!" Mengshida seized the opportunity, jumped suddenly, leaped over the heads of the besieging pirates, and used his strong body to crash into the pirates who were about to rush into the cabin.
The pirate was knocked off balance by Mengshida and almost fell down.
However, the pirates chasing him from behind suddenly slashed Mengshida on the back.
"Ga!!!" Although Mengshida avoided the vital parts in time, he was still cut by the knife.
"Mengshida!"
When Merry saw Mengshida's wound, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. It was more difficult for him to accept seeing his companion injured than to see himself injured.
A power began to emerge from deep within Merry.
【の—O—の】
Ripples appeared on the sea surface and quickly spread around.
A powerful force surged on the seabed, and the waves became more and more violent.
The two pirate ships began to sway violently in the waves.
The Redvers had already dropped its anchor and was not greatly affected by the waves, remaining steadily in place.
On the other hand, the ship of the Joseph Pirates was pushed by the surging waves and gradually moved away from the shore. The pirates on the ship lost their balance, fell on the deck, and shouted in panic.
"What's going on?" A question flashed through everyone's mind.
After a while, huge waves surged in the sea, and several huge heads of sea kings emerged from the sea.
[Boom boom boom!!!] Who dares to bully our Highness!
The wind was howling and the waves were surging.
The deafening roar echoed over the sea, shaking the entire sea surface and hitting everyone's eardrums.
When the ordinary pirates saw the appearance of the Sea Kings, they showed expressions of fear on their faces and even collapsed on the deck.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Get out of the way! It's a sea king!"
Joseph cursed: "Damn it, how could a sea king suddenly appear here!"
Just as he drew his sword and prepared to attack, the sea king's tail swept over and hit Joseph's pirate ship hard.
After the pirate ship was hit by the huge impact force, it shook even more violently. The pirates on the ship were caught off guard and were thrown directly into the sea, screaming.
"Ga ga?" Mengshida shouted twice in confusion and kicked a pirate away.
What is going on?
"I don't know either." Punch responded and punched a pirate away. He was also confused looking at the situation on the sea.
These suddenly appearing sea kings were very strange. They seemed to be unable to see the Redvers, and instead were focused on attacking the ship of the Joseph Pirates.
Merry wrapped his tentacles around the railing and turned back to explain, "Actually, these sea kings are the helpers I called in."
Punch's eyes flashed with disbelief. He looked at the little octopus on the railing, shocked. "Huh? Is it the helper you called, Merry?"
"That's right." Merry nodded and continued to convey the message in the direction of the Sea Kings, "Dear friends, please help me drive away these pirates!"
[Your Highness, leave it to us! ]
The sea kings paused, then created even bigger waves.
The Joseph Pirates' ship was rocked by the huge waves, while the attacks of the Sea Kings continued.
"Captain Joseph, please find a solution quickly!" A pirate hugged the railing and shouted in horror.
Joseph hugged another railing, his face pale, angry and helpless.
"Oh no! The boat is going to sink!"
"Get out of here!"
But it was too late.
The tail of the Sea King swept over again, and the ship of the Joseph Pirates could no longer hold on and was shattered.
The pirates screamed in terror and fell into the sea, being swallowed by the huge waves.
Shouts continued from the sea, and Shanks finally rushed back. He shouted and rushed to the shore: "Merry! Are you okay?"
Another pirate ship had sunk. Shanks first saw the sea kings rolling in the waves, and then saw the bloodstains on the deck. His eyes instantly became very cold.
"How dare you!"
Shanks shouted angrily, drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the sea kings.
When Merry saw this scene, he immediately realized that Shanks might have mistakenly thought that the creatures attacking the Redforth were sea kings.
Merry yelled in panic, "Shanks, wait!"
It was anxious and issued an irresistible order to the sea kings.
[All sea kings, return to the seabed immediately!]
The sea kings froze for a moment, then began to slowly sink uncontrollably.
Meli grabbed the rope beside him and swung it violently. The whole little octopus flew into the air, with all its tentacles spread out, blocking the sea king.
"Merry?" Shanks was startled when he saw the scarred Merry suddenly blocking his way, and he quickly dodged to the side with the sword in his hand.
His movements were already very fast, but the sword was too powerful. The blade brushed past one of Meli's tentacle and cut it in half.
“Woo!”
Merry groaned in pain, and his eyes instantly filled with tears.
The severe pain from the wound made it curl up into an octopus ball, and its body fell uncontrollably towards the sea.
However, having said that, if Shanks becomes one of the Four Emperors in the future, it would probably not be as simple as just cutting off one tentacle for Merry. The whole octopus might be cut in half or even turned into pieces.
Shanks flew forward and caught Merry. When he saw Merry's broken tentacle, his eyes flashed with self-blame and worry: "Merry, why did you suddenly..."
Merry endured the pain of having his tentacles cut off and tried to explain to Shanks: "These sea kings are helping us, please don't hurt them!"
Shanks was stunned, then looked at the sea. The sea kings had already dived to the bottom of the sea, and the waves on the sea surface gradually subsided.
Not far away, the familiar wreckage of a pirate ship was floating on the sea.
Shanks instantly understood the whole situation. It turned out that he had misunderstood the sea kings. When he saw Merry covered in scars, he felt a strong sense of guilt.
"sorry!"
Shanks landed back on the deck of the Redforth and shouted loudly into the distance, "Hongo! Come and rescue them!"
Not far away, Hongo and other friends were rushing over.
After hearing Shanks' shout, Hongo quickly increased his running speed.
He ran and shouted: "What happened? Who is hurt?"
"It's Merry! One of its tentacles was severed!"
"What!?"
A look of nervousness and confusion appeared on Hongo's face. He had never learned how to treat an octopus!
But at this moment, Hongxiang had no time to hesitate, he could only try his best and go ahead with it.
"Bunchi, go in and get the first aid kit for stopping bleeding." Hongo shouted as he ran quickly towards the Redfors.
"Okay." Punch immediately ran into the cabin.
Hongo quickly climbed onto the deck and ran to Shanks' side in two steps. The tiny Merry was held tightly in his arms.
"How come you're so badly injured!"
When Hongxiang saw the shocking scars and blood on Meli's body, he couldn't help but frown.
"Medicine box." Punch ran over with big strides, holding the medicine box.
Merry's other tentacles tightly grasped Shanks, and his whole body was shaking constantly. He tried to force a smile, but his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible: "I'm fine... It doesn't hurt at all... Really..."
"Yes, I know, Meli is a very strong child!" Hongxiang comforted softly, quickly opened the medicine box, took out hemostatic drugs and bandages from the box, and skillfully treated Meli's wounds.
"Okay, the bleeding has stopped. Merry is very brave."
The little octopus nodded imperceptibly, "Yeah! I feel much better now. Thank you, Hongo."
Hongxiang touched Meili's head with a look of heartache and said, "There's no danger now. Go to sleep and have a good rest."
"Okay. I'll just get some sleep then."
Pain and fatigue surged like a tide, and Merry could no longer hold on. He closed his eyes, leaned softly in Shanks' arms, and fell asleep.
Shanks asked in a low voice with concern: "Hongo, how is Merry's injury?"
Hongo rubbed his brows and said, "The wounds have been treated and there's no further bleeding. It shouldn't be in any danger of life. It's just that it's very weak now and needs to rest well."
Shanks finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that there was no danger to his life.
The others had already returned to the boat and gathered around with concerned faces, watching in silence as Hong Xiang treated Meli, not even daring to breathe.
It was not until this time that everyone started asking what had happened.
"We were attacked by the Joseph Pirates..." Benz told everyone what had happened in detail.
Merry worked so hard to protect the Redforth, but the most serious injury he suffered came from his own people.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Shanks.
"Shanks!!! What the hell is wrong with you!!!"
"Private Marseille! I was wrong!"
......
The Redvers left the island and sailed on the sparkling sea.
A day and a night have passed since Meli was injured and fell into a coma, but there is still no sign of waking up.
The little octopus curled up in the wooden barrel, and its skin looked a little wrinkled due to lack of water, like a dried octopus that was about to dry out.
Seeing Merry so shriveled, everyone's hearts were filled with worry. They gathered around the wooden barrel and discussed anxiously.
"Should we release Merry into the ocean?"
