Chapter 47 The Triumphant Man Arrives!
On the Buster Call warship, Vice Admiral Onigumo looked at Sabo through binoculars.
"That guy is Sabo from the Revolutionary Army... Could that be a Command Seal?! Could that guy with the cannon be him?!"
After he finished speaking, countless naval soldiers with wide eyes shouted in unison.
"It's a Heroic Spirit!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another shell came flying in.
The incoming cannonball, with a powerful and conquering shriek, precisely pierced through a Buster Call warship!
The explosion produced flames and debris, as if the entire steel behemoth had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, emitting a tooth-grinding groan.
In an instant, it twisted and shattered, then disintegrated amidst towering flames and turbulent magical energy. A massive column of water, carrying burning debris, shot skyward.
This earth-shattering blow was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes, as if the entire battlefield had been paused.
The sounds of burning cannons, cracking ice walls, the cries of civilians, and the roars of soldiers...
All sounds seemed to be swallowed up by the deafening explosion at that moment.
All eyes were drawn to that proud, upright figure.
The strangely shaped, enormous cannon barrel in his right hand was carried on his right arm. The muzzle was still wreathed in lingering sparks.
With his left hand on his hip, his red cloak and imperial uniform fluttered in the smoke, and beneath his iconic tricorn hat was a face full of confidence and the majesty of a conqueror.
Archer – Napoleon Bonaparte.
His triumphant voice, like a victory horn, resounded across the sea and sky.
"What? You dare to trample on other people's homes and drown out cries with gunfire, but you dare not face me? Then turn into dust in the gunfire!"
On the small boat, Sabo held down his top hat, which had been blown off by the blast wave, with one hand, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Going Merry.
His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and concern: "Luffy! Hang in there! Your brother's here!"
The moment the voice fell, Sabo's Command Seal on his right hand shone with brilliance, echoing the one on Luffy's hand, and the two wills merged at that moment.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa—! Could it be? Sabo!!! You're not dead!!!" The unconscious Luffy was jolted up from the deck as if electrocuted.
His eyes, hidden under the straw hat, were wide open, showing no sign of weakness whatsoever.
His energy exploded instantly; he clung to the ship's railing, jumping and leaping in Sabo's direction.
Sabo couldn't suppress his smile either: "Ah...it's a long story, but I'm glad you're alright now!"
"Sabo! It really is Sabo! And you even participated in the Holy Grail War! Is that cannon-wielding guy your Servant? He's so cool!"
The overwhelming surprise and emotion instantly dispelled my physical fatigue.
"Luffy... Luffy?! You're awake? Weren't you exhausted?!" Nami and Usopp were so startled by this sudden "resurrection" that they fell to the ground.
Roger crossed his arms, watching Luffy suddenly become energetic, then looked at the imposing Napoleon and the excited Sabo on the sea.
A hearty smile, as if to say, "Looks like I don't need Command Seals anymore! Reuniting with old friends is more effective than any magic pill!"
The battlefield situation reversed in an instant!
The terrifying image of the Buster Call fleet flagship being blasted to pieces by Napoleon's cannon still echoed in everyone's minds.
The sight of that small boat, with its god-like silhouette, terrified the remaining naval vessels, instantly throwing their previously orderly artillery formation into chaos.
"That guy is a Heroic Spirit! A Heroic Spirit like the one from One Piece!"
Lieutenant General Onigumo, seeing his men's faces turn ashen, ordered: "Fire! All cannons aimed at that small boat! Fire!!"
The Buster Call fleet's shift in fire gave Aokiji's crumbling ice wall a precious respite.
A hint of surprise flashed across Aokiji's face. He took a deep look at the small boat on the sea and the figure at its bow, and eased the pressure on his hands that were maintaining the ice wall.
"A new Heroic Spirit... has appeared, and it's definitely a monster..."
Smoker halted his futile assault on the harbor, smoke billowing as he gazed intently at the sea.
The naval soldiers who were rescuing people were stunned by the series of unexpected events, but at the same time, they saw a glimmer of hope to break the deadlock.
"They're here to help us! If there are any Heroic Spirits, Loguetown is saved!"
Garp had just rescued a child trapped under the rubble when he heard Luffy's signature scream.
He whirled around, saw his grandson bouncing around on the Going Merry, and the gloom on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deafening laugh: "Hahaha! You little rascal! You're really tough!!"
He didn't linger, turned around and rushed towards the next source of cries for help, his steps much lighter.
Zoro cleaved the burning barrier with a single slash, while Sanji kicked away the falling rubble.
The two looked up at the sea simultaneously, their eyes filled with surprise: "Another formidable opponent has arrived..."
Nami and Usopp hugged each other, crying tears of joy: "We're saved!"
"The triumphant gunfire has not yet ceased!" Napoleon's voice carried an undeniable authority.
He raised the giant cannon in his hand again, its muzzle flashing with light, instantly locking onto the Buster Call warship that was trying to attack him!
"Master, target confirmed! Destroying those two ships will allow us to establish a favorable formation!"
"Lord Archer, please unleash your full power!" Sabo's eyes burned with fighting spirit, and the Command Seals on the back of his hand gleamed slightly.
"Target—Western enemy ships, disable them!"
"That's exactly what I meant; realize it!"
Napoleon loudly proclaimed that this time, it was not a giant cannonball, but two faster beams of seven-colored light!
The beam of light seemed to possess a life of its own, drawing deadly zigzags in the air, nullifying all incoming shells, and ultimately destroying the warship.
boom!boom!
Several crisp and powerful explosions.
The warship to the northwest instantly turned into a massive fireball. The detonated ammunition triggered a chain reaction of explosions, billowing smoke and flames shooting into the sky.
The warships over there were completely rendered incapable of attack and could only circle on the sea, billowing thick smoke.
In an instant, a huge gap appeared in the warships' formation, and the encirclement completely disappeared.
General Huoshaoshan was filled with horror, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"That guy broke through our formation in one fell swoop! This was developed by the Warring States Marshal!"
He had some knowledge of warfare and knew how ingenious and coherent the Demon Slayer Order's formation was. It seemed like a simple encirclement, but in reality, the warships were interdependent, maximizing both attack and defense.
Even the well-informed Whitebeard would likely struggle to decipher it quickly. Yet, before the man wielding the giant cannon, it was child's play!
"Well done! Um... Uncle Cannon!" Luffy danced excitedly on the Going Merry.
Napoleon's gaze shifted to Luffy and Roger: "You're the Master's younger brother! Hahaha, looks like a promising recruit!"
"And of course, there's Saber, my ally. The world's famous Pirate King, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Roger's eyes held admiration: "You've got a regal air about you. Which emperor are you?"
Napoleon fired another cannonball, reducing a warship to ashes, his brown hair and beard flying wildly.
"We can chat later; let's deal with the immediate issue now."
He aimed the cannon at the sky, and rainbow-colored streaks of light shone brilliantly before the entire town of Rogue.
"To those ravaged by gunfire! Hold onto hope, for you will be safe! For..."
His voice carried an unparalleled infectiousness, as if he had already foreseen the triumphant return before the war even began.
"I'm here!!!"
His voice, like a majestic salute, echoed across the sky, warming the ears of every civilian in Rogge.
Despite being complete strangers, they instinctively relied on the voice and felt a glimmer of hope—the light of possibility that led to survival.
"We're saved...someone has come to rescue us!"
Sabo smiled and said, "Archer, as expected of you."
Luffy suddenly turned to Roger, his fists clenched: "Uncle Roger! We can't lose! Let's knock those guys in our way and break through!!"
Roger grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Hahaha! Just what I wanted! Kid, hold on tight!"
He suddenly took a step forward, and his domineering aura erupted! But upon closer inspection, it was found to be slightly restrained than before, and the oppressive feeling was not as strong.
Roger clenched his fists and let out a deafening roar.
"Trying to stop the Pirate King's ship? Are you kidding me?!"
"Weigh anchor—!!! Bucky, take your boat and follow!"
Luffy spread his arms wide and stretched them out. He pulled Zoro and Sanji, one in each hand, up from the shore.
Rumble—!!
The giant wave, carrying immense force, capsized several warships.
They carved out a passage to the vast ocean for the Going Merry!
"Nami! Navigate!" Zoro sheathed his three swords and stood at the bow of the ship.
"Understood! Wind from southwest! Full speed ahead!" Nami instantly got into the zone, her orange hair flying.
"Don't worry, Nami! I'll protect you all!" Sanji's eyes were firm.
"Goodbye, Marines! You still won't be able to catch King Usopp today!" Usopp shouted his final declaration before escaping, using all his remaining strength.
"Bucky, get the bomb ready! Let's scare them!" Bucky was also excited, ready to evacuate with the captain!
Under the cover of artillery fire from Saab and Napoleon, the Golem shot off like an arrow.
They charged forward toward the opened gap, toward the vast ocean that symbolized freedom and adventure.
