Chapter 52: Battle with Eric

"I can open one of those things myself." Luffy clapped his feet and rushed towards the wall at full speed.

"DUANG..."

Luffy hit his head against the wall and bounced back, lying on the ground.

"Strange, I thought I could knock it open." Luffy sat up, covering his head in surprise.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..." A group of people looked at Luffy's idiotic behavior in silence.

“Ka la la…”

Rubble fell from the wall next to it, and the wall not far away collapsed.

The smoke and dust cleared, and a big hole appeared.

"This reckless man..." Wang Hao said, covering his forehead.

"Haha, it's open." Luffy came back, "The result is OK, the result is OK, let's go, Abis."

"He's worse than the original man," Sanji spat.

"Hehe..." Hanhan even made a sound to complain.

"Don't even think about escaping." Eric jumped down from above and was stopped by Zoro.

At Zoro's urging, Luffy pulled the cart and rushed out of the cave.

After the super long roller coaster, everyone safely stopped next to the Golden Merry. Sanji, Nami, Usopp and Wang Hao were thrown into the water.

"Okay, we're here." The cart stopped, and Luffy stuck his head out from the front and said, "Okay, get ready to go, let's go."

"I've had enough..." Nami said with a bitter face.

"You bastard." Sanji cursed with a dark face.

"I will never forgive you!" Usopp said while lying upside down in the water.

"Hahaha, isn't it quite exciting?" Wang Hao heartlessly lifted Hanhan out of the water and said with a smile.

A few birds circling in the sky came down to talk to Abis.

"Luffy, Zoro, Zoro is in danger." Abis said to Luffy who was pulling the rope, "What should we do? We have to save him."

"Oh." Luffy tied up the cart and everyone got on the boat.

"Zoro..." Standing on the deck, Luffy swung his arms out.

With a long tail tone, Luffy stretched out his hand and grabbed Zoro's fate by the collar.

"Got it." Luffy grinned.

"That's amazing." Abis said holding a telescope.

"This mode seems to be..." Zoro's eyelids twitched.

"Hey, let's go." Luffy pulled his arm.

"whoosh"

"I told you to stop doing this!!" Zoro's roar echoed in the air.

"Duang"

Zoro fell to the deck and hit his head on the mast.

"Oh, sorry." Luffy apologized immediately. As long as I apologize quickly enough, you won't beat me.

"One day I will kill you." Zoro said gritting his teeth.

Returning along the original route, the Golden Merry headed westwards towards Gunkanjima.

However, they encountered Admiral Nelson Roy's fleet ahead.

In front of everyone, the navy ships behind Nelson's main ship directly formed a crane-wing formation, with iron chains connecting each ship to form a chain formation, blocking the way.

"Boom boom boom"

The navy launched an artillery attack, shooting at the Golden Merry as a moving target.

Abis was worried about Lord Long, so she ran onto the raft despite Usopp's attempt to stop her.

Luffy ran around the ship, deflecting the shells that were about to hit the Merry.

Sanji, Luffy, and Zoro were sent by Nami to the stern of the ship to hold the sail. Usopp used the ship's secondary guns to fight back against the navy, and Wang Hao took over the task of defending against the grenades.

Usopp shot down the main gun of the Nelson battleship with one shot, and was praised by Abis for his skill, and Usopp gave her a thumbs up.

"It's okay, don't worry." Luffy said to Long Ye while lying on the stern, "You have to protect Abis."

"Who are you talking to?" Usopp asked.

"Lord Dragon." Luffy replied.

"Is Luffy growing so fast? He has mastered the ability to listen to the voices of all things?" Wang Hao looked at Luffy in surprise.

"Now is a good opportunity. You must act quickly, cut the chains and open a path." Nami said.

"Okay, Miss Nami." Sanji responded immediately.

"Luffy." Zoro looked at Luffy.

"Okay, leave it to me." Luffy stretched out his arm and grabbed a warship, "Rubber bridge."

Sanji and Zoro followed Luffy's arm and ran towards the warship.

"Okay, Master Long, just wait." Luffy followed closely and shot towards the warship.

"Oh~ Hey..." Zoro was surprised when he turned around. Luffy bumped into him directly, using him as a cushion and hitting the wall next to the cabin door.

"I'm sorry, Zoro." Luffy said while lying in Zoro's arms.

"Go to hell..." Zoro cursed in a low voice.

"Actually, we can go directly there." Seeing that he did not get the reward, Wang Hao released the Third Generation Wind Shadow Puppet and turned to Nami and said.

"It's too dangerous. We can't take risks with Lord Long." Nami replied while looking at the situation on the navy side.

"Okay." Wang Hao could only do it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Several wind blades attacked and dissipated after hitting the sand iron shield.

The sand and iron dispersed, and Wang Hao returned to the deck and looked at Eric who was coming in a small boat.

"Don't get in the way here, or I'll beat you into a pancake." Wang Hao said, looking at Eric who was rushing over.

"I am determined to capture the Millennium Dragon." Eric did not let the rowing navy stop, and the boat slowly came over.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Wang Hao jumped out of the guardrail carrying the third-generation Wind Shadow Puppet and blocked the boat.

"How...how is this possible? Devil Fruit users are naturally disgusted by the ocean, so why can you stand on the water?" Eric was shocked when he saw Wang Hao's amazing move.

"That's it, Eric, bring the Millennium Dragon back to me." Nelson didn't understand the situation yet and thought Wang Hao was no match for Eric, so he shouted.

"Who wants to listen to your orders? You sea lion!" Under tremendous pressure, Eric betrayed Nelson on the spot and gave his reasons, which made Nelson so angry that he opened fire directly.

"Water escape, water wall!" The huge water wall blocked the incoming shells.

"That's it, fight with all your might, Wang Hao." Usopp shouted on the boat.

A wall of water came down, creating huge waves. Screams were heard on the boat, and the rope connecting the raft was unexpectedly broken.

"You are quite capable." Eric stood on the boat and looked at Wang Hao, "Let me show you how powerful I am."

Eric used the power of the fruit to ride the wind and flash quickly in the air.

"Eye roll!" Veins bulged around Wang Hao's eyes, and his vision moved as Eric flashed.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish..." Eric in the air made sounds, "Sickle, sickle, whirlwind!"

A sand iron shield was erected in front of the raft, blocking Eric's attack.

"You have too many concerns, which hinder you." Eric appeared in front of Wang Hao and said viciously. In an instant, he slashed towards Wang Hao with a cross.

"Idiot..." Wang Hao complained. He was hit by the wind blade, leaving a wooden stake on the spot, but he moved back several positions.

"Shadow clone technique." Wang Hao formed seals with his hands, and a shadow clone appeared beside him.
