One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 162 The Chase! The Rampage of Rocket Man
On the ruins of the Carrera headquarters, rainwater mixed with ash and flowed with black, murky water.
"Cough cough..."
Viktor knelt on the ground, his body swaying slightly.
That attack had almost drained all his chakra and stamina, and he was even having difficulty standing up.
"Victor!"
Nami rushed over and carefully helped him up, letting him lean against the broken wall.
Looking at Viktor's pale face and the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Nami felt a sharp pain in her heart, but more than that, she was overwhelmed with an indescribable shock.
"That move you just made... was terrifying."
As Nami wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, she looked at his eyes, whose crimson color was slowly fading, and her voice trembled slightly:
"That enormous thunder beast... are you a god?"
"God? You must be joking."
Viktor gave a wry smile, his voice weak but still carrying a hint of mockery:
"Do you want to be God's wife?"
Nami pinched his cheek. "Hey! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Just then, Bing Shan, who had been rescued from the safe house in the ruins by the foremen, walked over with the help of a group of boatmen.
The mayor of Water 7 stared at the group of "monster" pirates who had just routed the legendary CP9, his shock lingering for a long time.
"Straw Hat Boy... and you guys..."
Iceberg took a deep breath and looked at Luffy with a complicated expression:
"You've always thought Nico Robin betrayed you, haven't you?"
Luffy clenched his fists and remained silent.
"Actually... she was being blackmailed with this."
Iceberg spoke in a deep voice, revealing the heavy truth.
"Those guys in CP9 have the Golden Den Den Mushi that can activate the Buster Call."
"Nicole Robin was willing to go with them to protect you from the Buster Call attack that was destined to destroy everything."
These words instantly dispelled the fog in the hearts of the Straw Hat crew.
All the previous confusion, bewilderment, and even anger at being betrayed vanished at this moment.
"To...protect us?"
Luffy suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining terrifyingly in the darkness:
"What Buster Call! What World Government!"
"We should have killed that leopard just now!!"
Luffy punched the wall next to him, smashing the bricks to pieces.
"Since they've escaped, let's chase after them and get Robin back!!"
"Calm down, Luffy."
Zoro sheathed his sword:
"Those guys are badly injured, especially the one with the long nose and the leopard, they definitely can't run fast."
"To get to Enies Lobby, they can only take that sea train."
"Poruporuporu..."
Just then, Sanji's Den Den Mushi rang.
"Feed? I'm a prince."
Sanji's deliberately lowered voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the howling wind and the sound of waves:
"Luffy? Listen up, I've been following that big-nosed woman."
"The CP9 guys, along with Robin, have already boarded the last sea train—the 'Smoking Tom.' I sneaked aboard too."
"Sanji!!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "Is Robin with you?"
"Ah, I see it. But there are many enemies. I'll lie in wait and wait for you to come and join me."
After hanging up the phone, everyone's goal became clear.
"Chase it! Chase the sea train!"
However, reality gave him a cold shower.
"it's useless."
Barry looked at the towering waves outside, his face grim.
"Now is the time when the 'Gods of Water' are at their most powerful."
"In these sea conditions, no ship can sail out to sea. Even Blue's mount would be smashed to pieces in an instant."
"We...have no boat left."
An atmosphere of despair once again filled the air.
The Merry was no longer able to sail, and the other ships couldn't get out at all.
"SUPER————!!! Ouch ouch ouch..."
Just then, a voice, full of mechanical sounds yet tinged with painful groans, rang out.
Franky, along with his blocky sisters and little brothers, stumbled and rushed into the ruins.
Franky was in a sorry state; his once-proud airplane nose was broken, clearly indicating that he had suffered a lot in the Qilin earlier.
"Straw Hat Boys! You guys are here after all!"
Franky clutched his still-smoking stomach and grimaced as he yelled.
Upon seeing Franky, Iceberg let out a long sigh of relief:
"Frankie... I'm so glad you're alright. If you had been captured, that 'blueprint' would have been in danger."
"Tch, don't underestimate me." Franky spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
"Those government lackeys almost took my life."
"But they're a hundred years too early to catch me!"
Although he was tough on the surface, Franky's gaze towards Luffy held a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
He had personally experienced the lightning bolt that had just struck from the sky.
"Are there no more boats...?"
Iceberg looked at the somber Straw Hat crew, then at the raging storm outside.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the abandoned warehouse in the dock:
"If it were that car...maybe we could make it through."
"That car?" Luffy asked, puzzled.
"That was a prototype built to develop the 'Smoking Tom,' and it was the only failure."
A glint of madness flashed in the iceberg's eyes:
"Rampaging Sea Train - Rocket Man!"
"Because it cannot control the speed and has no brakes, it will go crazy once it starts, so it has never been put into use."
"And...only Franky and I know how to start and drive it."
Upon hearing this, Luffy's previously dim eyes instantly lit up, like two searchlights.
"She's alive!!"
Ignoring his injuries, Luffy walked straight up to Franky.
"Hey, briefs!"
"Lend me that train! I need to go rescue Robin!"
"ha?!"
Franky flashed his sunglasses, as if he had heard some huge joke.
He pointed to his collapsed airplane nose and the scars all over his body:
"Straw Hat Kid, have you lost your mind?"
"You just wrecked my house, injured my henchmen, and beat me up so badly... and now you want to borrow my car?!"
"Keep dreaming! Why should I, your grandson, help you pirates?!"
Zambry and the Franky family's underlings behind him also started shouting:
"That's right! Big brother! Ignore them!"
"These pirates are demons! Especially that Guren! He almost killed Brother Zambai just now!"
"Who would dare lend them their car!"
Amid the noise, Viktor, who had been silent all along, slowly raised his head.
He didn't unleash any domineering aura; he simply glanced coldly at his group of underlings.
Just a glance.
The group of thugs who had been shouting just moments before suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
It's as if I can see that terrifying scene of that giant fireball being stuffed into my mouth again.
"Well……"
Everyone fell silent instantly, like ducks being choked, staring at Viktor in horror and taking a step back in unison.
"Frankie".
Viktor spoke, his voice calm:
"We demolished your house and beat your people; we can settle this score later."
"I admit that we went too far."
"But the enemy now is CP9, the World Government. I think you know those guys better than we do."
"If you help us, you'll get this money... and our apology too."
However, Franky remained unmoved: "I'm not short of money! This is a matter of principle!"
Just then.
"thump."
A sound of a knee hitting the ground rang out.
The entire room fell silent.
Luffy, the captain who usually dared to throw punches even when facing an admiral, knelt down before Franky without hesitation.
He braced himself with his hands on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold floor, his voice utterly sincere:
"The man in briefs!!"
"I'm sorry about what happened before! I was the one who knocked you away!"
"But... please!!"
Luffy raised his head, his clear eyes filled with nothing but unwavering devotion to his comrades:
"Robin is a very important partner to us! Without that car, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with her!"
"Please... lend us your car!!"
This kneeling gesture carried immense weight.
Frankie was stunned.
He looked at Luffy's still-bruised face, at this man who could put aside all his dignity for his friends.
That instant.
The image of his mentor, Mr. Tom, who sacrificed himself to protect him, flashed through his mind.
"For my comrades...?"
Franky's expression changed.
"Awooo—!!!!!"
Franky suddenly looked up and roared, then slicked his hair back.
The collapsed nose of the plane miraculously stood up again, even more upright than before!
"Since you have such backbone... then I'll go crazy with you!!"
Franky struck a "SUPER" pose, his grin stretching from ear to ear:
"Listen up! Rocketman is an untamable beast; only a super freak like me can control him!"
"I won't lend this car..."
"But I can drive you there myself!!"
"Let's go turn that government's crappy island upside down!!!!"
"Wow!! That's awesome!!" Luffy jumped up with joy.
This scene ignited the passion of everyone present.
"Big brother, are you going?!"
Zambezi, Kiwi, Moz, and others were so moved that they wept uncontrollably, even blowing snot bubbles from their noses.
"Since our eldest brother is going... then we should go too!!"
"We're going to cheer on our big brother! And while we're at it, we'll get revenge on those government bastards!"
It's not just the Franky family.
Foremen Barry, Thaleston, and others also jumped out, weapons in hand, their eyes burning with rage:
"Count us in!"
"Our president was almost killed, we can't let this go! The artisans of Carrera are not to be trifled with!"
The three originally hostile forces—pirates, dismantling shops, and shipbuilders—miraculously formed an alliance at this moment.
"good!!"
Luffy laughed loudly, waving his fist:
"Then everyone go together! Ladies and gentlemen! Get in the car!!"
……
During the storm, the gates of the abandoned warehouse in Dock No. 1 were wide open.
With the combined efforts of hundreds of people, the menacing, dark blue train with shark teeth painted on its front—Rocket Man—was pushed onto the gliding track.
"This is... the Rampage Train!"
The carriage was packed with people, and the younger members of the Frankie family hung out of the windows like sardines.
Inside the driver's cab, Franky put on his goggles and gripped the control stick with both hands.
"Listen up! This isn't a sightseeing bus!"
Franky slammed on the horn, and the shark-shaped front of the vehicle spewed out a visible burst of violent steam.
"Hold on tight! This wild horse can bite!!"
"Rocket Man————Launch!!!"
Rumble!!!
With a roar like that of a monster, the Rocket Man's wheels rubbed against the rails, creating dazzling sparks.
It doesn't have a slow acceleration process; it launches directly at top speed!
Ahead lies a colossal tsunami, tens of meters high—the "Gods of Water."
"Go! Go go go go!!!!"
Amidst the shouts of the entire crew, the front of the Rocket Man's vehicle rose high into the air.
It actually took off using the slope of the track, like a fearless mad dragon, and plunged headlong into the huge waves.
The giant wave was torn apart, and water splashed hundreds of meters into the air.
"Yay!!!!!"
Luffy stood on the hood of the rampaging Rocket Man's shark-shaped vehicle, letting the wind and rain lash his face.
He gripped the car headlight with one hand, raised the other high, and shouted into the dark night sky:
"Robin!! We're here!!!!"
Inside the train carriage.
Viktor sat by the window, leaning back in his chair, looking somewhat tired.
Nami nestled tightly in his arms, feeling incredibly safe even amidst the bumpy ride.
On the other side, Zoro was still holding his three swords.
As the train shook violently, his head bobbed up and down, and he actually... fell asleep.
"This guy... he can still fall asleep in this situation, he's a monster." Nami muttered speechlessly.
Viktor smiled slightly and did not wake Zoro.
He turned his head and looked through the car window at the water city receding into the distance behind him, and at the dark, turbulent sea ahead.
"Oh……"
Viktor pushed up his glasses, recalling Lucci's retreating figure as he fled, a smile playing on his lips.
"Lucci... you looked really pathetic running away just now."
"Just wait and see."
"Since you're inviting us to hell..."
"Then we'll not only go there... we'll also tear it to shreds."
"Waaaaahh ...
Rocket Man fired another deafening whistle and broke through the last giant wave.
It drew a straight line across the stormy night sky, speeding towards the sleepless island at the end of the night—Judicial Island!
