Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

As for Wood and Gion, although the firepower that could cover the entire Enies Lobby was fierce, the power of such cannons was actually limited in its lethality against truly strong individuals, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave.

Wood wasn't worried about whether Gion could survive such shelling; he was worried that the enemy might do something foolish, like trying to save the innocent Enies Lobby soldiers on the island.

"You leave first. Even if this island is sunk, I will survive."

Upon hearing Gion's words, Wood knew, just as he had suspected, that Gion also wanted to rescue the Marines from the Headquarters who had come with them on the island.

Wood did not try to stop her, partly because Gion was not one to listen to advice, and partly because he had confidence in Gion's abilities.

Knowing how to use "Moonwalk" and being a swordsman of considerable skill, even if the island were sunk by cannon fire, it wouldn't pose much of a problem for Gion.

On the contrary, Wood himself only had the easiest task of dealing with the shelling; the CP0s surrounding the island were the real troublesome ones.

Chapter 188 One Strike Instantly Kills CP0!

The fish-men can swim, and the naval traitor Wood can "moonwalk," so the CP0 commander naturally doesn't expect to wipe out all the enemies on the island simply by relying on artillery fire.

The indiscriminate bombardment was launched solely to destroy obstacles obstructing the view and, incidentally, to clear out any remaining small fry.

As for the main ship where CP0 is located, there are always people paying attention to the situation on the sea and in the sky. If any fishmen jump into the sea or try to leave using "Moonwalk", CP0 on the main ship will react immediately.

The shelling continued to rage on the island, and within just a few minutes, all the buildings on the island had been completely razed to the ground.

Obviously, Wood's attempt to escape using Moonwalk was exposed when surrounded by thirty warships.

At the signal from the CP0 commander, three CP0 officers, dressed in white suits and of varying heights and builds, immediately set off at an astonishing speed using Moonwalk, chasing after Wood's location.

Artillery fire is meaningless against opponents who can use "Moonwalk". Ordinary CP members would only be a hindrance and a free kill, so naturally only the most elite CP0 members could take action.

The reason why the CP0 commander did not take action was because he felt that Wood was not qualified.

His primary target is Fisher Tiger, who wreaks havoc in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and tramples on the dignity of the World Government.

As for Wood, although our intelligence agencies say he's a tough opponent, he's not much of a threat to the CP0 leadership. Sending three CP0 members to deal with him is already considered giving them plenty of face.

"The reason why this mission failed so miserably is not only because Spandam, the commander of Enies Lobby, was incompetent, but the Navy also bears some responsibility, right?"

It's truly unexpected that even Garp, hailed as a naval hero, and Rear Admiral Momousagi, now quite famous at headquarters, have been unable to subdue this naval traitor for so long.

The CP0 commander's words were full of sarcasm. Although he didn't use a single swear word, he was implying that the Navy Headquarters' combat power was just a facade.

What codename "Peach Rabbit"? What naval hero? They're all just famous names, but their actual strength is completely undeserved.

When it comes to combat strength, we still have to look at CP0!

As the world government's highest combat force, their names are rarely known on the high seas because they are intelligence agents.

This doesn't mean they aren't strong enough; it's just that their special status makes it unsuitable for them to have too much fame.

The Navy Headquarters boasted about their combat capabilities at an impressive pace, but to the World Government's intelligence agencies, it was nothing special.

Garp was clearly unconvinced by the CP0 commander's words, but he did not refute them. Instead, he picked his nose with a contented expression, watching Wood in the air and the three CP0 officers chasing after him, waiting for the show to begin.

Undeniably, CP0 is the world government's strongest intelligence agency, a fact Garp acknowledges.

But who says their navy's combat power is all just talk?

Garp was already aware of Wood's previous strength; three CP0s simply couldn't possibly take him down.

But he doesn't remind the CP0 commander now, just waiting for a moment to slap him in the face.

Wood, who had just escaped the firepower of Enies Lobby, saw three men in white suits shooting towards him from a warship.

The distinctive all-white attire, combined with the techniques and aura of using the "Six Styles," made Wood realize it was his old rival, CP0.

Back in Mary Geoise, he could only win in one-on-one fights against the so-called CP0; if he faced two opponents, he would be at a disadvantage.

Now, in an effort to keep him here, the other side has actually sent three CP0 members.

Unfortunately, the Wood of today is not the same Wood of the past. In the past, if he had encountered this situation, he would probably have had no choice but to flee.

But even now, he has chosen to flee in disarray...

Of course, this hasty retreat was not because he couldn't defeat the enemy, but because Wood was feigning weakness to create as much distance as possible from the enemy's main force.

So what if we can defeat the three CP0s in front of us? They didn't just send three of them.

Once you defeat the three in front of you, they might send five next time, or even the CP0 commander might personally intervene.

Wood wasn't made of iron, and he had no intention of fighting these intelligence agents to the death; his main objective now was to evacuate safely.

Seeing Wood desperately trying to run away, CP0 naturally increased its Moonwalk speed and chased after him closely.

They weren't surprised when Wood saw them run away; after all, they were the World Government's intelligence agency, and the most elite CP0 at that.

It's perfectly reasonable for normal pirates to flee at the sight of them.

Before pursuing Wood, their superiors had instructed them to capture the naval traitor in front of them as quickly as possible.

As for the reasons, one is that their superiors did not want to waste time, and the other is that they wanted to embarrass the Navy Headquarters.

The pirates that even the so-called "naval heroes" couldn't defeat, CP0 could easily take them down.

The four chased each other until they were several kilometers away from Enies Lobby, when Wood finally stopped running.

"Knowing you can't escape our encirclement, did you simply give up? Or did the battle on the island exhaust you?"

"But you shouldn't stop. If you continue to run away like a rat, you'll probably live a little longer."

Now that we've stopped, the battle will end in an instant, because we'll take you down in a flash.

The three CP0s in front of Wood hadn't even started fighting yet, but each one was more boastful than the last.

Even now, facing Wood, they have no intention of attacking together, but instead are vying for the first strike.

The superior officer is not far from here. If I don't make a good impression, how will I get a promotion and a raise in the future?

"The battle on Enies Lobby did take a toll on my stamina, but it should be more than enough to deal with you."

The reason I stopped running is because I felt that this distance was enough, and you were right, the battle would end in an instant.

However, it wasn't me who was instantly killed, but the three of you!

As soon as Wood finished speaking, the runes on his chest belonging to the "Heart of God" Reeves Rachel suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver-white light.

Before the three CP0 members could even wonder why Wood's chest was glowing, a huge slash with dazzling light completely filled their vision!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu: Ittō-ryu Secret Technique: Higanbana!"

A dazzling slash flew off the blade of the Morning Dew Blade and expanded in an instant to a terrifying arc hundreds of meters long!

Chapter 189 Wood's Escape

The land of the dead is called the Other Shore, and in this desolate place filled with endless death, there is a flower that contains vitality and is extremely beautiful, called the Other Shore Flower.

Legend has it that seeing the red spider lily is equivalent to witnessing real death.

The red spider lily allows the living to see the most beautiful scene of their life on their deathbed.

The three CP0 members in front of Wood never expected that a slash could be accompanied by a light effect at the same time.

However, when they saw the dazzling sword light, hundreds of meters long, enveloping them, they were about to dodge or resist when they were completely captivated by the overwhelming brilliance of the sword light.

A massive, radiant slash swept across the sky, and in the moment of their dazed state, the three CP0 members were all sliced ​​in two!

When they died, they even had eerie smiles on their faces. They passed away peacefully, without the slightest pain, as if they had seen the most beautiful things in their last moments.

The colossal crescent slash, after instantly killing three CP0s, did not disappear. Instead, it grew again against the wind, expanding to a terrifying length of nearly a thousand meters in just a few moments.

After the slash cut across the sea, it sliced ​​through three large warships in its path before disappearing into the distance with a spray of water.

Garp was stunned, the CP0 commander was stunned, and the intelligence personnel on the remaining twenty-seven warships were all dumbfounded.

With a single strike, not only were three of the top CP0 members killed instantly, but three large warships were also sliced ​​open!

It turns out they were so ignorant before. Could it be that these so-called "sword masters" could actually do this much?

At this moment, the ordinary intelligence personnel on the warship were completely stunned, but Garp and the CP0 commander, who had seen a lot of things, quickly adjusted their mindset.

Garp was shocked because he thought he had figured out Wood's general strength on Enies Lobby, but he didn't expect that the kid was still holding back, and he was holding back so much!

The reason CP0 was surprised was that three of its CP0 subordinates were instantly killed by the enemy!

Wood's slash was indeed powerful, after all, it was able to slice through three warships with ease.

But even if it's that powerful, surely it shouldn't be so powerful that it leaves its three strong subordinates with no time to even react?

The CP0 commander saw it clearly just now. His three subordinates were about to make a move, but at the last moment they froze as if stuck.

"I've already said it before, the naval traitor Wood is very strong, and you even mocked our headquarters for being weak."

But now it seems that CP0, the world government's strongest intelligence agency, is not so impressive after all.

At least when I and Gion fought that naval traitor, we were able to keep him on the defensive. While we didn't manage to defeat him, we weren't instantly killed.

Hearing Garp mock him for what he had said earlier, the CP0 commander was furious.

He had just seen it clearly: when Wood made that slash, the old man Karp was obviously extremely surprised.

Clearly, either the naval traitor Wood held back his strength when fighting Garp and the others, or the attack just now was Wood's trump card, which he couldn't use many times and could only use in desperate situations.

In any case, what the CP0 commander can confirm is that the Wood who just unleashed his power is completely different from the Wood who fought Garp and the others.

Of course, all of this is just talk, and Garp is shameless enough to insist that it was CP0 people who were wrong, leaving the CP0 leaders with nowhere to reason with him.
