Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Upon receiving the order, the naval soldiers immediately sprang into action, aiming the cannons they had prepared at the USS Merry and loading and firing them without hesitation.

USS Merry.

"This is bad! That guy has aimed a cannon at us!!"

Usopp, who had been observing the enemy's situation closely, saw the cannons aimed in their direction and immediately realized what the enemy was planning. His eyes widened as he shouted, "Defend! They've fired!"

boom!

No sooner had he finished speaking than artillery shells began to rain down on them.

"..."

Facing the approaching black iron cannonballs, amidst the gasps and shock of the crowd, Huang Hai expressionlessly struck out with his palm against the incoming cannonballs.

Suddenly, with a 'pop', the shell did not explode. Instead, it was pulled by the elasticity of the shell and bounced straight back towards the naval ship at a speed far exceeding that of before.

boom!

In an instant, the naval sail pillars in the distance were precisely destroyed by bombing.

what?

Just as Herbodi was watching this scene in shock.

Swish!

Huang Hai's figure had vanished from the deck of the Merry in an instant.

When he reappeared, a mirror-like blade flashed across Hepburn's neck.

Zheng!

The blade is sheathed.

The head, still in shock, fell straight to the ground, spraying out bright red blood.

For a moment, apart from the sound of the waves, there were no other unusual noises in the surrounding area.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Annoying...

"If you're on vacation, just enjoy your vacation. Why did you have to create so much trouble..."

Glancing at the heads on the deck, Huang Hai turned to look at the several stunned sailors beside him, and the beautiful blonde figure who hadn't yet left the cabin, and said calmly:

"Since he chose to attack us and ended up dead... it's a fair thing. I've always admired the navy who fight and sacrifice to protect civilians, and this guy clearly wasn't one of them..."

"Remember this! I am Luffy, captain of the Dandan Pirates! If you continue to attack us, we will consider you all our enemies!"

"At that time, whether you are marines or pirates, the outcome will be the same, understand?"

"..."

Upon hearing these words, the sailors swallowed hard, not daring to move an inch.

After all, even a captain at headquarters died so easily at the hands of the enemy, so how could they dare to act recklessly?

Inside the ship's hold, the beautiful figure could only hide her fear by trembling, terrified that she would be discovered and kidnapped by pirates.

【Flick Shaving】!

Seeing no one react, Huang Hai shook his head, took a step, and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the deck of the Going Merry.

"Let's go..."

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Huang Hai's indifference thawed, and he said with a smile, "We've wasted so much time, let's hurry up and go to [Barati] to enjoy some delicious food..."

"But Usopp, as the ship's sniper, it's a bit unprofessional of you to only react when the enemy is about to fire..."

"It was my mistake..." Usopp said solemnly, "I promise it won't happen again!"

Although he had only been in the group for a short time, he really liked the atmosphere there. He would never forgive himself if his mistake caused any casualties.

Just like the captain said, he's a sniper! He should fulfill his sniper duties.

That shell either ignited it or exploded it in mid-air.

Remembering how he had only been focused on exclaiming when the cannonballs were right in front of the captain, Usopp unconsciously gripped the two gray-gold flintlock pistols at his waist.

must……

There will be no next time!

"Alright, don't overthink it..."

After patting the somewhat dejected Usopp, Huang Hai turned to look at Nami, who was still standing there seemingly lost in thought. He glanced at the wanted poster clutched in her hand and smiled slightly, saying, "Nami! What are you thinking about?"

what?

"Ah! It's nothing..."

Coming to her senses, Nami instinctively reached behind her back, looking slightly flustered, and said, "Right! What did you just say? I didn't quite catch that..."

"I say... let's sail closer to [Barati] first. Everyone's getting a bit hungry, and we really need to replenish our stomachs with some good food..."

"I...I understand! We'll adjust our course and prepare to receive the ship..."

Nami nodded and took a step forward, waiting for the time of Huang Hai.

"Nami!"

Suddenly, Huang Hai's gentle voice whispered in her ear.

"Having witnessed our battles several times, you should have some understanding of our strength, so... if you need any help, be sure to tell us. Aren't we the closest partners now..."

"As I said before, let's leave the East Blue issue to the East Blue and resolve it there. I hope we can proceed to the Grand Line without any obstacles..."

If it weren't inconvenient to inquire about her private affairs, and if he weren't unaware of what had happened to Nami in this world, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to remind her...

But then I thought about the possibility that the other person might take the opportunity to sneak away...

Huang Hai thought for a moment and decided to ask directly.

After all, if something happens, we can always solve it together...

Uh……

"I see…"

However, Nami clearly didn't think that way. After nodding and smiling at Hai, she didn't say anything more and walked straight towards the ship's wheel.

She had actually considered asking Hai and the others for help.

But when she thought of that powerful figure that had loomed over her for over a decade, she hesitated and fell silent.

Even having witnessed Hai and the others' previous battles, she didn't believe they could defeat that monster, and not just one, but a whole group...

"..."

Still won't tell...

Seeing this, Huang Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly closed them, and sat cross-legged on the deck.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower. With enough strength, all fear will be reduced to ashes after the flames have burned away...

Since Nami still refuses to say, either she has no hope for their strength, or there is another reason...

But no matter what, the matter must be resolved.

Hopefully, that great white shark won't disappoint too much...

not far away.

Kaya watched everything quietly, like an observer. Her deep black pupils seemed to know what everyone was thinking at that moment, making her unfathomable.

As the sea breeze blew, Kaya watched the fleeing naval ship gradually disappear into the distance, murmuring softly, "The jewel-like crimson color is getting closer and closer..."

"Huh? What did you just say, Kaya..." Usopp scratched his head, somewhat confused.

Only Zoro glanced thoughtfully at Kaya and Nami, who was piloting the steering wheel, and sighed softly, muttering to himself:

"As expected... women only slow down my sword-drawing speed, they're all more troublesome than the last..."

in this way... .

Amidst the varied expressions of the crowd, the Merry gradually approached the Barratier and, finally, under the guidance of the crew, anchored at the designated docking point.

……

……

Bharati.

The restaurant boasts a luxurious and elegant ambiance.

At this moment, all sorts of top figures from the East China Sea have gathered.

Such as top tycoons, nobles, high-ranking officials, and conspicuous pirates.

"Look, over there..."

"Are those sitting there a group of pirates?"

"They don't seem like it. Pirates shouldn't all look like menacing monsters..."

"That's because you didn't notice the pirate flag..."
