Chapter 260: Mouse Chasing Cat
boom! boom! boom!
The warships in the distance began to fire in support, and a row of dense shells covered the area like black rain.

It's sizzling!

Nami jumped up first, and arcs of electricity from her arms surged out like snakes, interweaving into an electric net to intercept.

boom! boom! boom!
Countless shells exploded in the air with dense flames, like a fireworks feast.

"Leave the ship to us!"

Franky shouted, flipping his left palm to reveal several gun muzzles, and fired a large number of bullets at the shells in the air like a Gatling gun.

"How could they destroy the Merry like this!"

Looking at the shattered stern, Usopp was furious, "Luffy! Reiner, beat him up!"

"Oh, of course."

Luffy's face flashed with anger, and he said firmly: "I must beat this bastard away with my own hands!"

"You arrogant pirate, you can't beat me up with just your mouth."

A fierce light flashed in Zefa's eyes, and his ferocious mechanical arms shortened and bit down. Golden energy condensed and began to accumulate power towards the Merry.

“It’s a laser!”

"careful!"

Laser technology is a highly lethal means. Its powerful penetrating ability is so strong that even a powerful user of domineering power would not easily take it out with their physical body.

As everyone was expressing their concern, a figure suddenly shot out and turned into a beam of blue light flying towards Zefa.

"Go to hell, pirate!"

Zefa roared angrily, a dazzling light flashed, and a beam of blazing golden light shot straight out!

"Smash the laser!"

"Don't get too carried away, old man!!"

Reiner shouted loudly and swept the giant axe from bottom to top!
Boom! !

The sound of the atmosphere shaking was like thunder, and the invisible space seemed to break apart.

In the face of the overwhelming and terrifying force, the condensed beam of light was shattered in the blink of an eye, turning into flying golden light points that dissipated in the air.

The powerful aftermath directly blew Zefa away in the air, and he flipped in the air and flew back dozens of meters.

As Reiner was falling, he summoned a falcon and stepped on it steadily.

In terms of physical skills, he admitted that he was far inferior to Zefa, and he had to receive at least two punches in return for every one punch he threw at him.

But when it comes to explosive power, Reiner has an absolute crushing advantage. Even if his domineering power does not use the technique of internal destruction, its power is still not inferior to Zephyr.

The only thing he needed to be careful about was the mechanical arm that was embedded with a large amount of seastone.

"Cough cough!"

Zefa had just steadied his body, but before he could use the Moon Step again, he clutched his chest tightly and fell from the air with a painful look on his face.

"Teacher Zefa!!"

"It's an asthma attack!" Ain and the other two cried out in panic and immediately turned to rush towards Zefa.

"Damn it!"

Zefa quickly took out the sprayer from his arms, stared at Reiner vigilantly, sprayed it into his mouth twice, and took a deep breath before he recovered.

"Are you okay, Mr. Zephyr?"

Puff—puff—puff!

Ain and the other two came to Zefa. The air under his feet made a dull sound, and his figure rose into the air again.

"I'm fine, ready to retreat."

Zefa waved his hand, stared at the people on the Merry with fear, and took out a test tube filled with green liquid from his arms.

Bubbling inside was a stably floating purple stone, which was the explosive rock he used to blow up the Island of the End.

After a brief fight, even though he didn't want to admit it, Zefa knew that he couldn't beat these people.

His goal has not yet been achieved, and he must not fall here.

"Ain, tell everyone to retreat. I'm going to detonate the explosive rock."

"Yes!"

Ian nodded in response, and he and Binzi Zuoxiu flew into the air towards the warship behind.

"Sink into the sea, pirates!" Zephyr did not hesitate. He crushed the test tube containing the explosive rock and threw it at the Merry with all his strength!

Luffy's eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrible in the future, and he screamed, "Run!!"

A large amount of yellow sand quickly condensed into a high wall, and then a pitch-black shadow spread out and wrapped up the Merry together with the sand wall.

Reiner did not recognize what it was at first glance, but his observation Haki kept stimulating his mind with warnings. After feeling that it was an explosive attack, he subconsciously summoned the wizard's undead to build a defense.

next moment.

The exploding rocks that came into contact with the air emitted an intense white light, so dazzling that it overshadowed the blue of the sky, turning the entire space into a sea of white!

boom! ! !
The horrific explosion resounded through the sky!
The violent impact pushed the sea water to create a huge deep pit. The defense built by Reiner collapsed, and countless fine sands fell like rain!

“——Ahhh!!”

boom!
"Ouch! My head!"

The ocean current suddenly became extremely turbulent, causing the Merry to shake violently. Everyone on board staggered from side to side, frantically grabbing the railings around them to steady themselves.

It took a while for the ship to stabilize slightly.

"Bah! Bah!"

Luffy crawled out of the sand pile covered in dust and dirt, with an expression as if he had eaten a fly, and he stuck out his tongue and kept spitting out sand.

boom!
“Damn it!” Luffy slammed the floor in anger, looked at the fleet sailing away in the distance, stood up and shouted with gritted teeth: “Reiner! Turn around and catch up, I will never let that bastard off!!”

"Eh!? Wait a minute Luffy, are you crazy?"

Nami hurriedly stopped the furious Luffy and repeatedly advised him: "How can pirates chase the navy? They have been driven away, right? Anyway, we don't have much loss, so why not just forget it."

"I don't care! He actually destroyed the Merry like this. I'm angry and I must beat him to death!" Luffy shouted angrily.

"That's right, Luffy! I support you this time, and I also want to avenge Merry!" Usopp was furious and rarely volunteered to fight.

"And me!" Chopper was also dissatisfied, baring his teeth and looking like he was about to bite someone, "My infirmary was destroyed, bastard!"

"Usopp, Chopper, why both of you!"

Nami was a little bit unbelievable, and quickly looked to Reiner for help, "Hey Reiner, please persuade them."

"What a joke!"

Reiner was furious and pointed at Luffy and Zoro, and shouted to Nami: "He even praised these two idiots, why am I the only one being looked down upon! I will kill that bastard today!!"

After Reiner cursed fiercely, he summoned a falcon to fly into the sky to track, and then rushed straight to the control room and turned around.

It’s okay to trash talk him, but it’s not okay to praise Luffy and Zoro and then just criticize him!

Who can accept being outdone by these two idiots!
Sanji slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed a bit insulting, but I can still understand that."

"Huh? What do you mean!"

"It means you're an idiot."

"You want to fight, right, Curly Eyebrows!"

"Who's afraid of who, Green Algae Head!"

The two men pressed their foreheads together, anger flashed in their eyes, and a fight was about to break out.

boom!boom!
Nami's forehead veins bulged. She left the two people lying there twitching and walked into the cabin with gritted teeth.

They are all crazy!
Chilling!
Soon, with the help of the falcons tracking in the sky, the Merry was far behind the NEO Navy fleet.

It was not until the evening when the sun just dropped below the sea level that the orange-red sunset dyed the sky full of fiery clouds.

The Merry finally arrived at a small island that did not exist on the map. The NEO Navy's fleet was docked on the shore, and there was a small village on the other side of the island.

Reiner wasn't sure if this was the target island that Zephyr wanted to blow up, or if they were just stopping to rest.

But it doesn’t matter. If we fight on an island, we won’t be restricted like we were on the ship before.

The Merry soon docked on the side with a village. On the way, Robin recalled some information about Zephyr and told Luffy and the others.

Everyone got a general idea of this man's life. His family was killed by pirates in revenge, and he led new recruits out to sea where he encountered brutal pirates and all the new recruits were tragically wiped out.

As for the fact that Zephyr became disheartened and quit the navy because of that brutal pirate becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it was a scandal after all, and the World Government did not make it public.

After a simple packing, everyone set off. Reiner left the undead to guard the ship, but Franky said that the Merry needed some repairs, so he volunteered to stay.

Nami used her Observation Haki, which had an extremely wide range, to confirm the location of Zephyr and his gang, and led them to approach from the foot of the mountain.

One side of the island where Zefa is located is a barren red land. Nami easily identified that this is a dormant active volcano.

When they arrived, the other party was setting up explosive rocks halfway up the mountain. Reiner and others had already witnessed the terrifying power of those rocks during the day.

With the number of troops deployed by the enemy now, if they were to explode here
"Are those guys crazy?"

Nami was stunned in place, her pupils slightly out of focus, she murmured in disbelief: "With the scale of this volcano, once it is activated, the entire island will be destroyed. By then, the village opposite..."

Reiner knows that there is much more to it than that. Zephyr's goal is to blow up the three End Islands, thereby causing the destruction of the New World and achieving the goal of eliminating all pirates.

to be frank.

He doubted that Zefa would do such a thing.

How could a person who wants to destroy all pirates just leave Luffy alone after defeating him twice? This is wrong for any reason. If he wants to destroy the world, would he still consider any feelings?

Reiner also felt that Zephyr's destruction of the two Islands of the End was just a helpless and pathetic way of venting his dissatisfaction with the navy.

He dedicated his entire life to the navy, and finally died in another way, surrounded by the disciples he had trained. Perhaps Zephyr had already thought of an ending for himself.

but.

“This has nothing to do with us.”

Reiner clenched his fists, his arm muscles bulging, and stared coldly at the purple-haired figure wearing a black cloak standing halfway up the mountain. "Today we are here to get back at him."

"You're right!"

Luffy took a step forward, his fists and palms collided, cracking bones, and rushed forward with a grin, "Brothers! Beat them up as hard as you can!!"

"oh!!"

"Revenge for the Merry!"

"Leave the female swordsman to me."

"Wait a minute, Green Algae Head! That's my target!"

Everyone followed closely behind, Zoro and Sanji rushed towards Ein, while Reiner and Luffy flew straight towards Zephyr!
"Ok?"

Noticing the movement behind him, Zefa slowly turned around and saw several familiar faces.

"It's you bunch of pirates again."

Zefa spoke lightly, looking at the pirates who saved his life with a complicated expression, and then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, holding the huge mechanical arm and walking down step by step.

"Maybe it's not a bad idea, Ain, use your ability on me twice."

"Yes, Teacher Zefa."

 I'll take a nap in the afternoon. I have another chapter tonight, so I may not be able to post it before midnight.
