Chapter 47: Critical Moment

Eric waved his sickle-like nails without any rules. In an instant, dozens of wind blades attacked Ray like a hail of bullets.

Although Nami, who was watching the battle, was very confident in Ray's ability, she frowned slightly in this situation.

Nami: Ray, without the ability of the fruit and swordsmanship, how are you going to deal with these wind blades?

If you can't stand it at the critical moment, I will find a way to pull you out and never allow you to show off!

Usopp's eyes were about to pop out, and he shouted at Ray, "Get out of the way, Ray! What are you standing there for!"

Abis simply covered his eyes. Even if Ray could resist these attacks with his body, he would become bloody.

And Ray was so proud, how could he listen to others' advice!

"Baquan!"

Ray uttered these two words decisively, and at the same time, the black armed color domineering surrounded one of his fists.

The fist shone with a metallic luster under the scorching sun.

As the wind blade approached, Ray swung his fist towards Eric, and the fist and the wind blade made a crisp sound like swords colliding.

But the dark fist did not retreat at all.

Not a drop of blood was shed.

Ray leaped forward and raised his fist high, "I didn't break my promise, we'll fight head-on! Eric, don't hide,

so that I won't waste my energy chasing you with the flash, and take the anger from the Straw Dog Pirates!"

"Impossible!"

Eric waved his claws madly, launching more wind blade attacks at Ray.

However, these attacks were like pieces of paper hitting stones in front of Ray's fist, and they were still useless.

When he fully understood that Ray's strength was far beyond his imagination, it was too late to dodge.

The dark iron fist hit his chest hard, and he could hear, very clearly, the sound of his sternum breaking.

Then, he lost his balance and fell on the raft. When his body was about to fall into the sea, he used his last strength to hook the raft with his nails.

Eric was about to say something, but the blood in his chest rushed into his mouth, and he coughed up blood.

"Rey won with just one punch. That punch is the most terrifying I have ever seen. Even Zoro's sword is not as hard as Rey's fist!"

Usopp, who was still worried about Rey just now, saw Rey easily beat Eric, and immediately started to flatter him.

Nami and Abis, seeing Rey unscathed, also smiled knowingly.

This kid is not showing off. Rey has never disappointed them and always has unexpected performances!

"This is the power of Armament Haki, which cures all kinds of fancy tricks."

Rey walked towards Eric and continued, "Eric, I don't want to show any mercy to greedy guys. Now I just need to step on your nails lightly, and you can die in the arms of the sea!"

A sinister smile appeared on Eric's face. He had almost coughed up blood, and his face was whiter than the feathers of a seagull.

"Originally, I and that stupid pig Nelson were involved in the battle for immortality. I didn't expect that in the end, immortality was just around the corner, but I would be killed by you, my nemesis!"

As he said, Eric looked at the half-dead Millennium Dragon on the raft, "This is fate. I don't have the courage to let go and choose to die in the sea. Rey, you are a strong man, please send me away and let me go decently!"

"As you wish!"

Rey stepped towards Eric's hand that was hooked on the raft. For such a greedy and bottom-line guy, it is not necessary to consider retraining. Sending him to see God is the best choice.

Just as Rei's foot fell, Eric suddenly let go of his hand hooked on the raft, and instead grabbed Rei's ankle.

His face was ferocious, and he roared:

"Let's die together, my nemesis! Without you, I will be immortal, you bastard, I will drag you down with me even if I die!"

Rei could have turned into an element and turned into lightning to escape, but the moment Eric grabbed his ankle.

The raft also shifted its center of gravity, causing half of his body to sink into the sea.

"Damn it!"

Rei frantically climbed onto the raft, but Eric seemed to have taken stimulants and desperately dragged him down.

Both of them were devil fruit ability users, cursed, and the sea did not welcome them.

It wouldn't take long for them to lose their strength in the sea.

Rei wanted to force himself to perform a flash against the sea water, but Eric, who was determined to die, dragged Rei's entire body into the sea, not leaving Rei a second.

Just as Nami was about to jump off the Golden Merry to rescue Ray, a cannonball landed in the sea nearby!

She looked back at the navy and found that the electric net around the Golden Merry had also disappeared.

It seemed that as Ray fell into the sea, his ability was also affected, and Nelson on the navy flagship laughed wildly,

"Well done, Eric! You and Ray will die together. This time, not only can you get the Millennium Dragon, but I can also save the commission I should pay you."

"Hahahaha! Fire, fire, and kill every pirate you can see in this sea area!"

With Nelson's order, shells hit the Golden Merry one after another. Nami gritted her teeth and returned to the cabin to steer the helm.

Even if she wanted to save Ray now, she had to ensure the safety of the Merry first, otherwise everyone would end up dead!

Usopp saw Ray sinking into the sea, extremely desperate, and finally angry!

He remembered that Rey had just reloaded himself and said to himself, "Everyone needs you."

Rey is like the reassurance of the Straw Dogs Pirates, he is the one that everyone needs the most!

"Rey, I'm here to save you! We can't live without you!"

Usopp roared, and he used the greatest courage in his life to muster up the courage to jump into the sea that was baptized by gunfire.

He must retrieve Rey, but once he entered the sea, the waves caused by nearby shells made it impossible for him to control the direction of his body's swimming, and he had no idea where Rey sank.

On the other side, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji saw that the naval fire became more intense.

It also accelerated its pace to attack another naval warship.

But there are still two naval warships separated from the flagship, and they will not be able to capture Nelson for a while.

Unable to capture the opponent's coach first, the Golden Merli will soon be submerged under the intensive naval artillery fire.

Nami, Usopp and the others will all die.

"Get away!"

Luffy yelled at the navy blocking his way, and he rushed towards Nelson's battleship like crazy.

Sauron also used three swords at once, using slashes to clear the way for him.

Sanji followed Luffy while dealing with the marines who came out from behind, but there were too many marines and they would not be able to deal with them all for a while.

The sound of fighting and artillery fire never stopped.

Abis on the Golden Mellie looked at the endless waves of passionate waves being hit by cannonballs around her.

Looking at Usopp who was going crazy and Nami who was steering the ship without saying a word and desperately trying to avoid the shells, she shouted to the sky:

"Why! I just want my friend Millennium Dragon to find his destination, why are there so many people hindering me!"

"My other friends also have to sacrifice for my sake. Why would a good person like Rey die with a bastard like Eric?"

Speaking of Rey, she collapsed on the deck and covered her face in tears. This man did not lie to her.

The Straw Dogs Pirates are different from other pirates.

Listening to Abis' cry, the old thousand-year-old dragon on the raft suddenly spread its wings and roared to the sky, "Ouch!"

Then he flew up. At first, everyone thought that he had no ability to fly again and that he was old and could only wait to die.

Unexpectedly, he spread his wings and flew high!
