Chapter 381 Crisis Resolved
"Boom!"
An extremely loud roar resounded through the sky, and at the same time, an aftermath even more powerful than before spread out in all directions.
The bubble that was wrapping the island on the surging ocean current finally couldn't withstand the pressure and burst, leaving the island exposed.
But the problem is...
Even after suffering this seemingly extremely powerful blow, the meteorite in front of it did not change at all, and not even a single stone was knocked down.
But it was not completely ineffective. After being hit, the meteorite shifted forward for a distance.
It did not completely cover the island below, but only covered about half of it.
Of course, if it falls like this, the island will still be finished!
Ok……
This doesn't seem to be a good thing, and it is definitely not a good thing for the pirates who are fleeing in this direction below.
They were extremely happy when they felt that the sky above them suddenly brightened, as they had finally escaped the range of the meteorite attack.
But the next second they felt the sky darken again, and the meteorite that they had left behind at some point fell back on their heads.
"!!!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Can someone explain to me what's going on? Why did this meteorite come to our side again?"
For a time, wailing sounded everywhere.
Usopp looked at his masterpiece and smiled.
Although it didn't cause any damage to the meteorite, it at least moved it a certain distance, right?
This is enough for him! He is already very satisfied to have achieved this!
At this moment, two figures arrived in front of the meteorite almost at the same time.
At this time, the meteorite was not far away from the island below.
Zoro turned his head to look at Sanji next to him and said disdainfully: "Pervert! You'd better not hold me back!"
"Tsk! You directionally challenged green algae head! I should be the one saying this to you!"
"Humph!"
They both snorted and turned away.
Zoro held the two swords across his body and began the classic poetry recitation session again.
"Nine mountains and eight seas make up one world!"
"..."
Sanji's right foot also turned red at this time. If you look closely, you can even see a hint of blue in the red.
In a flash...
"One big, three thousand, great thousand worlds!"
"Devil Wind Kicks!"
The attacks from both sides landed on the meteorite almost at the same time, but at that moment they seemed to have no effect.
A few tenths of a second later, the meteorite moved to the side again, and this distance was several times farther than before, and it no longer covered the island below.
Not only that, the meteorite that had previously withstood countless attacks without any damage finally broke.
A knife mark that was more than ten meters long appeared on the meteorite. Although the depth was less than one meter, it was already crushing compared to those before.
On the other side, the place where Sanji kicked was also slightly sunken, and some small pieces of light golden stones fell downwards.
The people below were staring at the scene in amazement, their mouths opened so wide that everyone could fit several eggs in.
"Gudong!"
"This... is this the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates? Aside from Emperor Xia Chen, are the others so powerful?"
"It's incredible that you can leave your mark on that indestructible meteorite!"
"Also, what the hell is that meteorite? Why is it so hard?"
After these words were spoken, some pirates put away the horror on their faces and became more active in their minds.
Yes! What material is this meteorite made of? Its hardness is so incredible. It must be much harder than seastone, right?
Hmm! I can study it after I’m out of danger!
……
"Hey! Zoro, Sanji! Get out of the way, both of you! It's my turn!"
Zoro and the other man heard Luffy's urgent voice behind them. Turning around, they saw Luffy raising a huge fist and making a punching gesture.
"Gomogomo..."
Zoro, Sanji: !!!
Come again?
The two of them did not hesitate at all and immediately dispersed to the side.
Just at the moment they left, Luffy's fist, which had been accumulating power for a long time, finally struck out.
"Great Ape King Spear!"
The huge fist slammed down on the falling meteorite. At this moment, the people below could clearly feel that the meteorite was knocked away.
Previously, because the offset distance was not too large and the meteorite was so huge, they couldn't actually see any changes just by looking at the meteorite.
The only way to determine whether the meteorite has shifted is by looking at its relative position to the small island on the ocean current.
But now it’s different. They can tell with their naked eyes that the meteorite was blown away.
The meteorite flew to one side at a not very fast speed, even flew out of the range of the island below and landed on the sea nearby.
"boom!"
Accompanied by an extremely loud noise, a tsunami swept towards the island.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
"Ahem! Am I...am I still alive?"
A pirate coughed, and a small fish came out of his mouth. He then slowly opened his eyes, muttering in a low voice.
"Ah! You're still alive!"
His companion smiled as he saw him wake up. He said:
"Luckily the Straw Hat Pirates blasted the meteorite onto the sea surface, otherwise if our island was directly hit by the meteorite, I don't know how many people would have died!"
"Now it's just washed by the sea water, the damage is much less!"
Such a scene happened in various places on the island, and everyone was feeling the happiness of surviving the disaster.
At some point, many pirates on the island shouted in unison.
"Straw Hat Pirates! Straw Hat Pirates!..."
For these pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates who saved their lives at this moment are their great benefactors, so they will be full of gratitude to the Straw Hat Pirates at this moment.
Of course! This kind of gratitude has a time limit. After a period of time, many pirates will not remember it.
If there is enough profit to motivate them, these pirates might even turn their attacks against the Straw Hat Pirates.
Just like in the original work, Usopp saved the pirates who were turned into toys by Sugar in Dressrosa.
The moment they regained their human forms, they were undoubtedly full of gratitude to Usopp and the Straw Hat Pirates.
But didn't he still attack Luffy and the others later because of his own interests?
Therefore, this is the bad nature of most pirates, and it cannot be changed.
Of course, there are still a small number of pirates who are very moral! Even driven by interests, they will not waver in their determination.
And most of these pirates are not unknown people in the world!
