Aside from the white dove on his shoulder seemingly being drawn to the juicy meat that Grandpa Cook was taking out, Rob Lucci ignored the old man's enthusiastic attempts to persuade him to stay. He stepped into the spatial portal that had somehow opened up on the wall beside him, and with ripples spreading across the portal, his figure vanished in an instant.
After Rob Lucci left, the portal closed, and the walls returned to their original state.
If it weren't for the bomb fragments left on the ground, Grandpa Pengpeng might have thought he was seeing things and hallucinating.
Each CP9 agent has their own strengths, with Bruno being a Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit user, giving him considerable strategic value.
The Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit is an imaginative Devil Fruit. It can open doors in various places, including the air, flames, and even the human body. No matter how hard the object is, or even if it doesn't have the form of a physical object, it can create a portal of different sizes and shapes. Anyone or anything can move freely through the portal.
Bruno failed to fully develop the Door-Door Fruit due to two limitations.
First, the Door-Door Fruit requires the user's palm to touch it in order to activate its power.
Second, Bruno lacked the concept of spatial coordinates and was unable to set spatial coordinates.
Spatial coordinates are not something that can be achieved simply by thinking about it; rather, they are a three-dimensional spatial concept.
CP9 agents are skilled in assassination, but they are completely helpless when it comes to such advanced techniques.
The Dimensional Array Shangri-La couldn't be lent to Bruno, but Yang Ming had been stationed in Water Seven for several months and had already established a teleportation anchor point there. Bruno could use the teleportation anchor point as the origin of the coordinates to teleport, and could easily teleport Rob Lucci and the others to any corner of Water Seven.
Of course, this would consume a considerable amount of Bruno's physical and mental energy.
But in order to protect the lives and property of the people, Bruno had no choice but to suffer.
In the following days, the locals and pirates staying in Water Seven were surprised to find special agents in suits appearing all over the city. These agents were all well-trained and proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy. They might not be of much use against strong opponents, but intercepting mere cannonballs was a piece of cake.
However, Yang Ming only recruited 25 CP9 agents, which was sometimes insufficient to take care of such a large city as Water City and could not cover all aspects.
The key issue is whether or not drought jack can be truly prevented from landing on land.
On this point, many people have reached a consensus.
Near the coast, all the buildings are in the Gothic style, with small groups of people standing on the tall, spired rooftops, holding binoculars and gazing at the distant sea.
In such a place where heroes gather, Bucky the Clown is naturally indispensable.
Bucky the Clown subtly scanned his surroundings, secretly noting down the names of the famous pirates and bounty hunters present, preparing to wait for a suitable opportunity to make contact with them, and then join forces with the Navy to carry out the "dumpling-like" plan.
Although the plan was evil and insidious, it was all for the sake of justice... and of course, for Bucky the Clown's own life.
A black flag with a white skull and crossbones fluttered in the wind as a massive pirate ship, exuding a wild and untamed aura, broke through the waves.
Only by facing Drought Jack's flagship head-on can one feel the overwhelming pressure.
Even though they were extremely far from Jack the Drought's flagship, many people still exclaimed in surprise.
These cowards were naturally not a concern for Bucky the Clown; the focus was on those who remained unmoved or even showed strange expressions.
A middle-aged man dressed as a magician soon came into Bucky the Clown's view.
Wearing a magician's hat, magician's clothes, a red tie, a green one-way mirror, and gold earrings, Breed is a well-known pirate with the Paramecia-type Pet-Pet Fruit ability. Any creature trapped in his rings will be under his control.
Breed gazed intently into the distance, thinking to himself:
"If I could find an opportunity to put a pet ring on Jack the Drought, I could instantly gain top-tier combat power, become a great pirate in no time, and maybe even have a chance to become the Emperor of the Sea!"
Suddenly, through their binoculars, everyone present spotted a unique steel behemoth in their field of vision, sailing straight toward Drought Jack's flagship like a sharp sword.
It is peculiar in itself that it has no wooden mast and no sails.
Not to mention, this giant ship is made entirely of steel, so even when sailing in a storm, it remains as stable as a rock and is not greatly affected.
If that were all, the pirates probably wouldn't think much of it.
What's most surprising is that this giant ship is enormous and uses a lot of steel. Logically speaking, its weight should be more than twice that of an ordinary three-masted sailing ship. Let alone sailing, it would be a miracle if it didn't sink.
But right now, the speed of this steel behemoth is beyond what ordinary people expected, even more than twice as fast as the specially made flagship of Drought Jack!
It’s just that!
"How can this be!"
The pirates and bounty hunters present were all seasoned sailors with a deep understanding of ship performance, and they were all incredulous at this moment.
Breed, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the distinctive naval emblem painted on the hull of the massive steel ship: a seagull holding a scale in its beak, symbolizing the maintenance of world peace and order, with the word ARINE below.
"This...this is the navy's newest warship?"
Breed was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
His exclamation immediately drew the attention of others, who then discovered the blind spot.
Immediately, Breed forced a smile and said to her nearby colleagues:
"It's alright. No matter how special this naval warship is, how could it possibly withstand Drought Jack?"
This statement was immediately echoed by the crowd.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Jack the Drought is the top dog of the Beasts Pirates. Unless a vice admiral or admiral from the Marine Headquarters who has been famous for many years takes action, no one can control him!"
These people were able to notice the naval warships, and Jack the Drought, as one of the parties involved, had already taken notice when Black Maria spoke up to warn him.
Seeing an excessively young naval lieutenant standing at the bow of the steel warship, Drought Jack scoffed and said dismissively.
"Is the Navy Headquarters now deserts? They actually sent a greenhorn like you to stop me?"
"Kid, do you want to die?"
The sea breeze made Yang Ming's cloak flutter behind him, and the two characters for "Justice" stood out prominently on his back.
Once the cold, damp rain falls on Yang Ming, it will be evaporated into water vapor by the flames surrounding him, and his clothes will not get wet.
Yang Ming raised his right hand, and a fireball suddenly appeared in his palm. Under the flickering firelight, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.
"Want to kill me? You can try."
Chapter 150 Steel-Cutting Flash! You might not be able to withstand this strike from me.
The wind and rain relentlessly swept across the sea, the dark sky seemed about to collapse, and the entire world was shrouded in suffocating thunder and lightning. The rumbling thunder was incessant, and all that could be heard was the howling of giant waves and gale-force winds.
The tree-branch-shaped lightning was dazzling and eye-catching. Under the pale light of the lightning, Jack the Drought's face looked like a demon king incarnate. His appearance alone was enough to make people feel cold and dare not look him in the eye.
Seemingly having heard a hilarious joke, Jack the Drought burst into laughter, glancing contemptuously at the massive steel ship hurtling towards them, and sneered:
"I've eaten more rice than you've walked roads, you greenhorn!"
"How dare you, a nobody, be so arrogant in front of me!"
"Hit me!"
Upon hearing Jack the Drought's command, Black Maria hesitated to speak.
Gazing at the enormous fireball that was gradually expanding in Yang Ming's hand, a hint of seriousness flickered in her alluring eyes. This young man did not seem easy to deal with. If Drought Jack was careless and underestimated his opponent, he might end up with a bloody head.
However, when he is out and about, Jack the Drought is known for his stubbornness. Once he makes a decision, he will never change it. Even if Black Maria is one of the Flying Six, she has no way to persuade her to change her mind.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Black Maria sighed inwardly.
The scorching heat dispelled the damp, cold air on the deck. Drought Jack's arrogant voice echoed in his ears. Yang Ming was unfazed. He raised his hand and launched the huge fireball that had expanded to a diameter of twenty meters. It transformed into a small meteor cannon and blasted out. The scorching fireball left a long trail of flame behind it and approached rapidly at the speed of a solid cannonball.
At the same time, Yang Ming noticed the system notification sound.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
"Yes!"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.
Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.
Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...
Equipment and items: Hextech Belt, Righteous Glory, Twin Shadows, Trinity Force, Boots of Speed...
Hero Skins: Future Warrior, Steel Wings, Lu Bu (Fengxian), Champion's Blade...
【Steel Slash】: Slashes forward to deal massive damage. Upon hitting a target, Steel Slash gains a stack of Whirlwind Slash for 6 seconds. After accumulating 2 stacks of Whirlwind Slash, Steel Slash will create a whirlwind that can knock enemies away.
Yang Ming had always criticized the Navy's rigid swordsmanship, but now that he had obtained the Steel-Cutting Flash, he suddenly had a lot of insights into swordsmanship and a deeper understanding of how to use swords.
"Insanity!"
Seemingly provoked by Yang Ming's actions, Drought Jack's large, copper-bell-shaped eyes flashed with a ferocious light, and he suddenly drew two Shorter scimitars.
This is a weapon unlike any other sword. It is 3.8 meters long in total, with a blade length of 3.2 meters. The blade is wide and resembles a hook. It was made by a master craftsman from Wano Country by repeatedly hammering carbon steel. When Jack the Drought holds these two Shortel Scimitars in his hands, it looks like he is holding two walrus tusks, creating a strong visual impact.
Faced with the oncoming fireball, Drought Jack simply flicked it away.
With a cold, sharp blade flashing across a crescent-shaped arc, the fireball was instantly sliced in two.
The fireball, having lost its form, could not stabilize the violent energy within, and immediately released a powerful explosion. A strong heat wave swept over them, with temperatures exceeding one hundred degrees Celsius. However, for the pirates on the flagship, it was merely a drizzle, causing them no real pain or discomfort.
Pirates active in the New World are already used to all kinds of dangerous environments. Not to mention that mere heat waves can't handle them, even the Sea Kings that ordinary pirates fear can only become food on their tables.
They traveled all the way from the Calm Belt, feeding on sea kings along the way; every pirate was a seasoned veteran.
The roar of the steel behemoth's cannons was deafening. Solid shells rained down near Drought Jack's flagship, but none of them managed to hit the ship; they were all repelled by the two Flying Six.
As the saying goes, what is a hero to them is an enemy to me.
Seeing the navy's incompetence, the pirates watching from the shore breathed a sigh of relief.
Breed straightened his slightly disheveled magician's robes and smiled as he spoke to his nearby colleagues:
"This navy is all show and no substance. Even if they build such a steel behemoth, what good will it do? It will still be obediently buried here."
"It's a pity that such a giant steel ship will probably sink to the bottom of the sea and never see the light of day again."
After saying that, Breed sighed and shook her head, looking regretful.
The pirates' eyes gleamed, each harboring their own schemes. On the surface, they smiled and appeared to be having a good time, but in their hearts, they were all plotting how to salvage the sunken steel behemoth from the seabed and claim this treasure for themselves.
These people may not be very strong, but they are incredibly cunning and calculating.
Bucky the Clown blended into the crowd, listening to the conversations around him, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"How dare you underestimate that man? Who gave you the courage?"
Drought Jack's flagship and the steel behemoth sailed toward each other, and the distance between them was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
