The Red Hair Pirates escaped?
Lachi Lu and Gob left first.
Merry, still coiled on Shanks' straw hat, walked quickly towards the town with Beckman.
The closer you get, the clearer the noise inside becomes.
The streets of the town were in a mess, and the doors and windows of the houses were smashed to pieces and scattered all over the ground.
The soldiers, armed with sophisticated weapons, were in a fierce standoff with the townspeople.
Although the townspeople had set up traps in advance, they didn't know that everything had already been exposed to surveillance, and their counterattack soon ran into trouble.
When Shanks and his group stepped into the town, Merry happened to see two soldiers besieging a young girl in the corner. It immediately shot two water arrows at the two soldiers.
The two soldiers were caught off guard by the water arrows and their movements were temporarily hindered.
The girl did not panic. She seized the moment, quickly raised the wooden stick in her hand, and smashed it hard on the head of one of the soldiers. At the same time, she kicked another soldier away.
Shanks and Beckman also quickly joined in helping the townspeople.
When Charles saw someone coming to support him, he immediately shouted, "Everyone, hold on, victory is just around the corner!"
The townspeople also noticed Shanks and his men, and their spirits instantly lifted. They began to attack, waving sticks, shovels and other tools in their hands.
With the strong help of Merry, Shanks and Beckman, the soldiers were finally subdued, and all the townspeople hugged each other excitedly and cheered loudly.
The girl who had just been helped by Meli came over from the crowd. She bowed solemnly to Meli and said, "Octopus, thank you for saving me just now. Also, thank you very much for your help just now."
"Eh?" Meli was stunned. Octopus? Was she talking about me?
The tentacle on the left moved and asked sincerely: Are there any other octopuses here?
The tentacle on the right also moved and answered sincerely: No!
All the tentacles began to dance uncontrollably: Hey hey hey! ~~(ˉ▽￣～)~~ She’s thanking me!!!
Meli's eyes instantly curved into crescents, and a very bright smile appeared on her face, her happiness was beyond words.
"It's no big deal, hehe~~~" The little octopus twisted its body happily, unable to control its inner excitement, hehehe...
At first glance, the tentacles dancing wildly on Shanks' head look a bit like the legendary Medusa.
However, this is not a weird or scary feeling, but a cute and funny picture.
Shanks reached out and grabbed the straw hat that was slipping off, and teased, "Merry-chan, calm down, my hat is about to fall off."
"Ah - private Marseille, Shanks-san." Merry seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all the tentacles instantly became quiet.
When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh out loud on their tired faces.
The laughter spread, quickly dispelling the gloom left by the battle.
“Hahahaha~~”
Shanks was infected by the joyful atmosphere and became very excited: "It's rare that everyone is so happy, why don't we have a party tonight!"
Beckman looked at the dilapidated town and said, "Look at the situation around us. Tonight is not the right time for a banquet. Besides, Uta is still sick."
"Yeah! I forgot! We have to go back and see Uta!"
"Oh yeah, I wonder how Uta is doing."
"Hey everyone, are you leaving now?"
"Yes, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
"I haven't thanked you properly for your help yet."
"It's just a small matter. Let's go."
------
Uta finally woke up.
Meli, who was lying on the bed, was dozing off, his octopus head nodding.
"Meli~" Uta shouted, feeling her throat was very sore, and her voice was soft and hoarse.
Meli shuddered and woke up instantly. When he saw Uta looking at him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Uta! You're awake! How are you feeling? Do you want some water?"
Uta touched her dry and sore throat, feeling a little uneasy: "My... speaker seems to be broken."
"Eh? Speaker? Ah, is your throat uncomfortable?"
Shanks and others outside the door heard the noise inside the room and rushed in.
Suddenly, the room became very lively and filled with concerned voices.
"Uta~ What speaker is broken?"
"Uta, how are you?"
"Uta~"
"Hey, everyone, don't push."
"Everyone, please don't crowd here. There's no air circulation and Uta can't breathe."
"Puchi~" Uta couldn't help laughing, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Seeing that Wuta's complexion had indeed improved a lot, everyone stepped back with relief.
The originally crowded room suddenly became much more spacious.
Hongo came in with a glass of warm water with lemon and handed it to Uta: "Here, your speaker is not broken, your throat is uncomfortable. Drink some water to moisten it first."
Uta took the cup and sipped most of it obediently.
Hongo checked her temperature and said, "You're still a little weak. Drink some porridge later and continue to rest well."
"Okay. I'm fine now, don't worry."
"It won't happen that fast. Don't force it. Just say it if you feel uncomfortable."
"Yeah, I see."
......
The Redvers continued to break through the waves on the blue sea.
The sea breeze blew towards them with a salty smell. Meli and Uta stood on the deck, concentrating on practicing sword swinging.
"Meli-chan, Uta-chan, it's snack time." Lachi Lu walked out of the cabin holding exquisite snacks.
"Yeah! Snack time! Lusang, wait for me! I'll be done practicing soon!" Uta responded excitedly, and the speed of swinging the wooden sword in his hand suddenly increased.
"Thank you, Rusang!" Meli also smiled happily.
Laqi Lu smiled and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, no one will snatch it from you."
Jesus curled his lips and teased sourly, "Lu really dotes on Uta and Meli. Before Uta came on board, we never had any snack time."
Lachi Lu jokingly said, "If you have any objections, you don't have to eat later."
Jesus choked a little, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said, "I was just saying it casually. You still have to eat."
"Hahaha, Jesus, are you even jealous of a child?"
"Everyone is still a child. I'm only three years, three hundred and eight months old."
"You shameless bastard! I'm only three years and one hundred and sixty-three months old."
Amidst everyone's laughter, Meli and Uta finally completed their sword-wielding training.
They skipped over to Lucky Lu and took the pudding cake from his hand.
"Thank you, Rusang!"
Mellie couldn't wait to take a bite of the pudding cake and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Wow! It's delicious!"
Hmm? I wonder who has better cooking skills, Sanji-san or Ru-san?
After all, in his previous life, Meli could only watch everyone eat in silence...
"Delicious! Mr. Lu's cooking skills are amazing!" Wuta praised it highly.
"Haha, as long as you like it." Laqilu laughed happily.
Punch on the watchtower suddenly shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! A navy ship has appeared diagonally ahead."
Mengshida stuck his head out, gestured to the people on the deck, and said, "Ga Ga~"
"What, there's a navy!?"
The leisurely laughter on the deck came to an abrupt end.
Everyone gathered together on the side of the ship, looking at the warship that was gradually approaching in the distance.
Jesus Bu picked up the telescope and took a closer look: "Oh no, this is the naval fleet of the Navy Headquarters."
The sea breeze also brought the shouts from the opposing warships: "Listen, pirates on the opposite side, we are the naval headquarters detachment, please stop the ship and surrender immediately..."
Shanks grinned and said, "What about the navy of our headquarters? Only a fool would surrender. Brothers, hurry up and get rid of them."
Although the Red Hair Pirates are very powerful, they became pirates for adventure and fun. Unless necessary, there is no need for them to engage in a head-on battle with the navy.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Meli's nervousness about meeting the navy was instantly relieved by everyone's laughter.
It is normal for pirates to meet the navy in the days full of excitement and adventure.
Snake looked up at the sky and said calmly, "The current wind direction is perfect for escape."
"Haha, then let's run away!"
"Everyone come and help. Change course and speed up!"
"good!!!"
Everyone responded and took action, cooperating very well.
Snake ran to the sail and pulled the rope to change the direction of sailing.
Under Snake's control, the Redvers headed in the opposite direction of the warship, and its speed increased significantly.
The opposing warship noticed the pirate ship's intention to escape and issued an ultimatum: "If they don't...don't blame us for being rude."
The Redvers was not frightened by the warning and its speed increased under the influence of the wind.
Shells were fired from the warship towards the Redvers.
"Brothers! Fight back!"
Shanks shouted, drew the Griffin from his waist, and slashed at the flying cannonball with a sword blade wrapped in domineering power.
The shells were cut in two and exploded in the air, forming balls of brilliant fireworks and scorching air waves rushing towards them.
Beckmann and Jesus stood next to the cannon on the side of the ship, manipulating the muzzle, aiming at the shells in the air, and smashing them one by one.
Gob's muscles bulged and he suddenly let out a deafening roar, and a laser-like beam of energy shot out of his mouth, shattering the incoming shells.
"Full right rudder!" Lachi Lu held the tiller and cooperated with Snake to steer the boat flexibly to avoid the flying shells.
One after another, shells were shot down around the pirate ship, stirring up huge waves and causing the pirate ship to sway violently.
"Well done!" Shanks laughed.
Although they said they were going to "escape", they showed no intention of retreating in the face of the navy's pursuit.
"Woo-wah! This is so fun!" Uta shouted excitedly, lying on the shaking deck, swaying with the waves, rolling around without any fear.
Meli also rolled into an octopus ball and rolled around on the deck with Uta, with a smile on her face.
"You two little guys, this is not a place to play, can you be serious?"
"We're serious!"
Having said that, the two little guys still rolled around happily on the deck.
Running away is fun indeed.
