Chapter 33 is all about tactics.
"Have the two vice admirals been killed?!" a naval captain exclaimed in shock.
The flashing lightning and terrifying waves he had just witnessed were still shaking his mind.
"No, I can sense their presence..." the flying squirrel said.
The flying squirrel didn't finish his sentence because he noticed that the two guys below were breathing unsteadily, clearly having suffered some kind of blow.
But such words could easily cause a disturbance, so the flying squirrel didn't say anything more.
He turned and exchanged a glance with Fire Mountain, signaling him to act when the opportunity arose. If Ghost Spider and Doberman couldn't get out on their own, they should go down and rescue them.
Huoshaoshan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"You're all flirting in front of me, do you think I'm blind?" west Yan said, "I'm talking to you, you balding guy."
Flying squirrel: ? ? ?
Half...half bald?
"Damn it, this is a mohawk!" the flying squirrel roared.
The flying squirrel was furious! What do you mean by half-bald, you bastard!
"Oh, sorry, it's a mohawk."
"They actually apologized..."
The flying squirrel's fire went out in an instant, leaving it speechless for a moment.
"That guy with the mohawk, stop flirting with him."
Flying Squirrel: !!!
In an instant, the flying squirrel's temper flared up again.
Huoshaoshan, who was not far away, almost burst out laughing, but he forced himself to hold it in out of consideration for his companion.
"Did you think I wasn't talking about you, you squinty-eyed guy?"
Fire Mountain: ? ? ?
Squinting...squinty eyes?
"And that guy over there with his skull practically reaching for the sky," west Yan said, glancing at the warship at the very edge. "Didn't you see the look in that mohawk guy's eyes? Or is it just because only his skull is showing?"
Storoberry: ......
Stolbert stared blankly at west Yan. He realized that this guy was trying to provoke them.
"Trying to provoke us with such a cheap trick?" Storoberry scoffed. "You're too naive!"
He then ignored west Yan and continued to direct his men to move.
The flying squirrel and the fire mountain exchanged a glance, then casually looked away, as if nothing had happened.
"We actually got caught~" west Yan said with a playful expression, "But..."
"On this vast ocean before me, you still think you can safely carry out the Buster Call bombing mission?"
"You don't actually think you've taken care of those two, do you?" Storoberry sneered. "Kid, don't underestimate a Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters!"
As Storoberry finished speaking, a flying slash shot out from the fleet of warships—it was Momonga who made the move!
"Whoosh~"
With the Sharingan's powerful dynamic visual capture, west Yan could clearly see the approaching flying slash.
After dodging the flying slash with a backflip, west Yan clapped his hands as he flipped backward and said:
"I have never underestimated anyone!"
"Water Release: Triple Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"boom!!"
Three enormous water dragons suddenly trembled, then rose into the air from the sea at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards the distant warship group.
The target was the area where those three vice admirals were located!
"roar!"
The three water dragons were incredibly powerful, and their enormous size terrified the navy personnel on the warship.
"Damn it, they're coming for us!"
"Quickly, prepare the artillery fire!"
"No, it's too late!"
"Don't panic, leave it to us!" Huoshaoshan shouted.
As he spoke, he drew his long sword, and Armament Haki quickly spread across it. Then, he unleashed a flying slash!
"One-Sword Style: Enzan!!"
A powerful slash, wreathed in flames, hurtled straight towards the water dragon!
"One-Sword Style: Rat Wind!" The flying squirrel was not to be outdone, unleashing a flying slash!
"Kid, do you think you can destroy a navy's warships with just seawater?!" Storoberry sneered. "I've already seen through your scheme!"
Armament Haki quickly spread to Strawberry's twin swords, and then he launched an attack without hesitation.
"Dual Sword Style: Flying Heaven Slash!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
The three's attack clashed head-on with west Yan's water dragon bullet, cleaving the dragon's head into sprays of water!
"Splash~"
The water jets, now without their heads, transformed into a spray of water that hurtled towards the naval warships. However, due to the attack by the three men, the water lost its original force and did not cause much damage.
Apart from a few unlucky souls who were hit head-on by the seawater, most of them only suffered minor impacts.
However, mindful of the precedent set by Onigumo and the other two, the three vice admirals activated Moonwalk almost simultaneously and rushed into the sky, fearing they would be hit by the subsequent lightning attacks.
However, this time west Yan did not use Lightning Release, which puzzled Stolbert. On the contrary, Huo Shao Shan seemed to have figured something out.
Because of his unique slashing technique, the warship was the least affected by the seawater, but this also made him realize west Yan's intentions.
"Are you planning to soak the warship with seawater and render all our shells useless?" Huoshaoshan said, squinting.
"Tch, is this all you've got?" Strawberry said, landing on the dry side of the warship. "You've miscalculated."
To cope with the various harsh weather conditions in the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, the naval warships were built in a very special way!
Even if waves hit a warship, they might not be able to wet the various shells stored inside.
Unless a part of the warship is damaged, seawater cannot enter the powder magazine.
Therefore, Storobelli did not think that the opponent's move would be effective.
"Hehe, is that so?"
west Yan, standing on the sea, showed no change in expression, as if he had already guessed that this would happen.
This calm demeanor, ironically, prevented Storoberry from feeling uneasy. He didn't know what other tricks the other party had up their sleeve, but it was definitely more than that!
Just then, the flying squirrel noticed red blood on the sea, causing his pupils to shrink as he exclaimed, "Blood?"
Damn it, could it be the blood of Onigumo and the others?
This terrifying amount of bleeding... what exactly did they go through beneath the sea?
Wait... The information from my Observation Haki indicates that there's a Sea King below?
Is it the blood of Onigumo and the others, or the blood of this sea king?
Huoshaoshan glanced at the sea and instinctively wanted to rush down to check the situation, but when he sensed two people rushing towards the sea at an extremely fast speed, he forcibly stopped.
"Thank goodness, they're alright!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Two figures emerged from the sea. One of them had lost his right arm, which was covered in blood!
However, this person did not care about his injuries, and instead launched a surprise attack with his companions!
"We succeeded!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Three long swords pierced straight through west Yan's body!
"west Yan!!"
Nico Robin, who witnessed all of this, immediately narrowed her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
This powerful man was actually defeated by those two vice admirals...
"Don't worry," Bruno said calmly, "It's nothing."
Nico Robin: ? ? ?
Nico Robin turned to look at Bruno and found that his expression was still the same as before. Could it be... that west Yan is alright?
Nami, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously said, "It's... a clone."
But why is that navy officer missing an arm? What happened underwater?
