In addition to these regular naval personnel, Enies Lobby also has a "guilty jury" of about ten people, whose combat strength is equivalent to that of a naval lieutenant commander at headquarters.
There's also the Law Dog Squad, a first-class guard unit of the Enies Lobby Squad, whose strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Navy sergeant, with a number of about a hundred people.
In addition, there are two giants guarding the second main gate, whose strength is comparable to that of a naval captain at headquarters.
All of the above information was naturally revealed to Wood by Gion, but in Wood's version, it was said that he had worked on Enies Lobby when he was a Marine, so he knew about the situation there.
Chapter 165 Our side directly summoned a Murloc hero.
"Tom is being held in what is likely the Tower of Justice, located at the very back of Enies Lobby."
To withstand the Tower of Justice, we need to pass through the two gates on the front island of Enies Lobby before reaching the main island, then through the courthouse on the island, and finally reach the Tower of Justice.
"This time, Enies Lobby asked the Marine Headquarters for help. The powerful figures who came to their aid were Vice Admiral Garp, the Marine hero, and Rear Admiral Momousagi, who was being groomed to be an Admiral."
"With my best efforts, I can only stop these two at most. As for the ten thousand marines, the giants, the guilty jury, and even Spandam's CP9, you'll have to deal with them yourselves."
After hearing Wood's analysis of the enemy's and our own forces, Franky, who was originally full of fighting spirit and eager to rush to Enies Lobby to save people, was suddenly as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water and froze on the spot.
Ruth, Iceberg, and the others were looking at Wood as if he were a madman.
Although they are not very strong, they are not stupid either.
Admittedly, if Wood could hold off the naval hero Garp and Rear Admiral Momousagi, he would have already done a great service.
But no matter how you look at it, the remaining people of them are no match for 10,000 marines, two giants, a guilty jury, and CP9.
If everyone else had half of Wood's skills, then rescuing Tom wouldn't be too much of a problem, even without Garp and Momousagi.
But the key issue now is that with only a dozen or so people left, they can't even reach the Tower of Justice, let alone save anyone!
Leaving aside the more than 10,000 navy personnel and the judicial forces on Enies Lobby, they were no match for those two giants alone.
How are they supposed to save people in this situation? Are they supposed to risk their lives?
"Brother Wood, do you think you could help us take on some of the enemies? Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to reach the Tower of Justice."
If Wood hadn't done his analysis of Enies Lobby's defenses, Franky wouldn't have known that Enies Lobby was so dangerous.
It's ridiculous that he actually planned to rescue people all by himself. Judging from this situation, even if he had a hundred lives, he would probably never come back from Enies Lobby.
"Taking on Garp and Gion at the same time is already my limit, and there's a high chance I can't even protect myself, so it's impossible for me to share more of the enemy's burden with you."
However, as I mentioned before, there is a way to save people, so naturally I won't just send some of us to save them, since I myself don't want to die in vain.
"As a mermaid from Mermaid Island, Grandma Kokoro should have a way to contact the island, right?"
As Wood finished speaking, he looked at Granny Kokoro, who had been ignored by everyone.
"I do have a way to contact my friends on Mermaid Island, but if you're trying to find someone to help rescue Tom through Mermaid Island, that probably won't work."
Fish-Man Island is also one of the World Government's allies, and even has to pay Celestial Gold to the Celestial Dragons every year. King Neptune would not attack Enies Lobby for Tom's sake.
Besides, Tom has lived in Water 7 for most of his life, interacting with humans, so he's not very popular among the fish-men, and probably very few people would be willing to rescue him.
The merfolk are very united, and they can sometimes do crazy things for their so-called brethren.
Unfortunately, although Tom is also a fishman, he is not popular among his fellow fishmen.
The reason, of course, is that he has been living among humans for many years. Fish-men hate humans, so naturally, Tom, who lives among humans, has also been ostracized.
This is one of the reasons why Tom refused to seek refuge on Mermaid Island.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can get in touch with Mermaid Island, I'll find a way to get reinforcements later."
Even with herself, a mermaid, and Tom, a fishman, not being confident of getting support from Mermaid Island, Granny Kokoro truly couldn't believe that Wood, a human, could find the assistance of the fishmen.
Even though Wood possesses the Queen's fish scales and is a friend of the entire Mermaid Island, when it comes to matters of principle, Granny Kokoro doesn't believe that King Neptune would offend the World Government because of this relationship.
Despite having many questions, Grandma Kokoro eventually contacted her friend on Mermaid Island and, as Wood instructed, delivered the Den Den Mushi to Mermaid Town.
That's right, Wood never intended to seek King Neptune's assistance, after all, the two had no relationship whatsoever, and had never even dealt with each other.
What Wood really wanted to ask for help from were the fish-men on Mermaid Island.
Because of Wood's intervention, Fisher Tiger, the merfolk hero who was supposed to die in the original storyline, is not dead now.
The Sun Pirates, a Fish-Man race, have now made a name for themselves on the high seas.
Wood didn't know if Tiger and the others were in the Mermaid Street on Mermaid Island, but he believed that the Mermaids there must have a way to contact Tiger.
Furthermore, if he were to use the identity of the naval traitor Wood, the fishmen of Fishman Street would naturally not accept it, but what if he were to use the identity of the former Fishman Sword Saint Yasuo?
Ever since Fisher Tiger did such a great thing in Mary Geoise to save his compatriots, the entire Fish-Man race has been proud of it, and many young Fish-Men dream of joining Boss Tiger's "Sun Pirates".
The story of Tiger and his gang causing havoc in Mary Geoise is still frequently talked about by the fishmen of Fishman Street.
Tiger, Jinbe, and even Arlong have all become the pride of the younger generation of fishmen in Fishman Street. Among them, Yasuo, the fishman swordsman who dared to kill the Celestial Dragons, a world noble, and even turned the tide in the end, single-handedly holding off the pursuers, is naturally an idol of many fishmen.
Unfortunately, after Tiger and his gang committed their crime, they secretly returned to Mermaid Island once or twice, but they never saw the legendary Mermaid Sword Saint.
Even when they asked Jinbe and Arlong, neither of them knew much about Yasuo, the fishman. Tiger even knew quite a bit, but he was unwilling to say more.
The fishmen of Fishman Street were initially excited to receive a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) claiming to be Yasuo, the Fishman Sword Saint, but they quickly became suspicious of the other party's identity.
However, this doubt was quickly dispelled after Tiger confirmed it.
Because Wood told a lot about how he and Tiger were stranded on a desert island, and these were things that only Wood and Tiger knew.
Tiger knew Wood's true identity, but Wood wanted him to keep it a secret. Even this time, the fishman only helped Wood because of "Sword Saint Yasuo".
Tiger understood the gravity of the crime of killing a Celestial Dragon, and readily agreed to Wood's request for help without hesitation.
Chapter 166 The Fame of Master Yasuo on Mermaid Island
Fisher Tiger was a man of great loyalty and compassion; otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed the Red Line to rescue his people and done what he did.
When Tiger was stranded on a desert island, he greatly admired what Wood had said, and when he received news that Wood had betrayed the Navy, he was even happy for a long time.
In Tiger's view, a human being like Wood, who possesses a truly righteous heart, is clearly incompatible with the Navy, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks with the Navy.
When Tiger learned that Wood had defected from the Navy and become a bounty pirate, he even considered inviting Wood to join his "Sun Pirates".
Although they are a fishman pirate crew, Wood is a human, but Tiger believes that Wood, who was able to say those words on the island, must be able to achieve true mutual understanding with the other fishmen in the pirate crew.
Tiger had just seen news about Wood's activities in the West Blue. He had originally planned to enter the first half of the Grand Line from the New World and go to the West Blue to find Wood, but unexpectedly, Wood contacted him first.
Will Tiger refuse the request from his benefactor, the merfolk?
Of course not. Tiger and the others have always remembered Wood's kindness in single-handedly shielding them from numerous pursuers.
Moreover, the person Wood wanted to save this time was actually one of his own merfolk, so Tiger had even less reason to refuse.
"There are no problems now. In addition to us, the fishmen from the Sun Pirates will also help with the rescue."
If we include Tiger, Jinbe, and hundreds of other fish-men from the Sun Pirates, rescuing Tom shouldn't be a problem with that kind of fighting power.
Wood, after putting down the Den Den Mushi and leaving the room, said to the waiting crowd with a sigh of relief.
Iceberg, Franky, and the others were overjoyed when they heard the news.
Grandma Kokoro, who was from Mermaid Island, was completely shocked.
Neither she nor Tom had any connection with the Sun Pirates, so it was impossible for them to travel a long way to rescue them.
This means that the famous "Sun Pirates" came here entirely because of Wood.
Grandma Kokoro was genuinely puzzled. Wood was clearly a human, so how could he get help from the "Sun Pirates," who were like idols on Fishman Island?
Iceberg and Franky, who live in Water 7, may not understand what the "Sun Pirates" means.
However, Granny Kokoro was quite aware that the Sun Pirates' reputation on Fish-Man Island was, without exaggeration, even higher than that of King Neptune.
The inhabitants of Mermaid Island are not fools; Neptune is merely the king of Mermaid Island, though he is indeed quite wise.
But what truly protected them was the "Sun Pirates" formed by Tiger and his crew.
Furthermore, King Neptune would not attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise because of the captured mermaids and fishmen, but Tiger and his men would!
To put it simply, the Sun Pirates' status and prestige on Fish-Man Island are comparable to the Kuja Pirates' status in the Amazon Lily Kingdom; they are practically national idols.
Although Tiger and his crew have returned to the first half of the Grand Line from the New World, it will still take them several days to get to Enies Lobby.
Fortunately, since Enies Lobby didn't find the blueprints for "Pluto" from Tom, they didn't execute him so early.
Now Wood and his men can only wait, and hope that Spandam is patient enough not to rush to execute Tom.
In fact, after learning that the person he had arranged to follow him had gone missing, he knew he had been tricked. The old man had no intention of handing over the blueprints for "Pluto".
Despite his fury, Spandam was unwilling to kill Tom so easily. Instead, he resorted to various forms of torture in an attempt to extract information about Hades from Tom.
As for Wood and his team, they have been discussing feasible attack plans in the past few days.
Wood and his pirate ship have been confiscated, and the journey from Water 7 to Enies Lobby is not only long but also involves many checkpoints, making them inevitably vulnerable to being discovered along the way.
After some discussion, Wood suggested using the first trial version of the sea train, "Rocket Man," as a tool for attacking Enies Lobby.
"Rocket Man" was eliminated because he was too fast and difficult to control, but this was just what Wood and his team needed.
Furthermore, there is a dedicated railway line from Water Seven to Enies Lobby, which is much faster than taking a boat.
Two days later, a pirate ship bearing the sun flag docked at the shore of Water 7. Wood and his crew, who had been waiting for a long time, happily greeted the red-skinned giant who was the first to disembark.
Tiger was equally pleased to see Wood, and even gave him a warm hug.
