Chapter 81: Lieutenant General Crane Blocks the Way

Mount Levis, the river at the top of the mountain.

The Meili and Yun Tianxiang's ships have arrived here along the ocean currents. Here, ocean currents from all over the world converge and rush into the great route.

Everyone cheered and floated downstream along the ocean current.

It wasn't long after they passed the top of the mountain that Nami looked at the darkness in front of her and shouted, "Why is there a mountain in front of us!!!"

"That's not a mountain. That's an island whale!" Looking at Lab, Yun Tianxiang felt sad, but also happy!

"What!" Luffy looked at the huge island whale and cheered in shock.

"What a big whale." Yamanaka's eyes widened, wanting to observe the island whale carefully.

Nami hugged the pole, tears streaming down her face. "Now is not the time to discuss this. The boat is about to hit us!"

Zoro, who had been calm at first, immediately turned into a terrified expression: "Really?! Hurry up and find a solution. The ship is about to crash!!!"

"It's too late. The ocean currents and wind speeds are too fast." Yun Tianxiang spread out his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

puff~

The ship, which was five times larger than the Merry, hit Lab first, cracking the bow instantly and the wooden bow fell into the sea.

Because of the huge impact, the Merry, which was connected to the ship by clouds, was thrown away.

"Help~"

Usopp, Luffy, and Sanji, who were on the Merry, turned in circles and shouted in unison~

Zoro leaned one hand on the side of the ship, looked at the distant Merry, and complained: "What a bunch of idiots."

It turned out that before the ship was about to hit Lab, Yun Tianxiang suggested that everyone take refuge on the ship first. After all, the size and quality of the ship were better than the Merry. However, Luffy and the other two did not believe it and questioned staying on the Merry.

"Come up quickly, Zoro." Yun Tianxiang stretched out a hand and pulled Zoro up together with Ajin.

Twin Gorges Lighthouse.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru. Two ships have arrived, one pirate ship and one ordinary ship. Please give us your instructions."

The naval soldier walked into the lighthouse and reported the latest situation to Vice Admiral Tsuru who was sitting inside.

"Capture them all." Lieutenant General He gave the order very calmly.

"Yes!"

Following Vice Admiral Tsuru's order, the warships hidden in the port immediately sailed out and headed towards the Merry.

As for Vice Admiral Tsuru, he led a part of the navy and attacked the ship directly.

"Hey! Tianxiang! There are navy here!"

As soon as Zoro stepped onto the deck, he saw sailors on the shore throwing out ropes and hooking them onto the side of the ship.

Yun Tianxiang blinked his eyes. When did the navy become so smart? Sending people to wait at the entrance?

Nami screamed in fear, "What?"

"It's that old woman." Zoro recognized the other party as Vice Admiral Tsuru who walked out from a group of navy officers in Rogue Town.

"Lieutenant General He. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Yun Tianxiang, with a tingling scalp, approached the railing and looked at Lieutenant General He on the shore.

"Yun Tianxiang. You can leave alone. I will keep my promise and will not arrest you within a month." Lieutenant General He looked at Yun Tianxiang who appeared on the ship and did not feel surprised.

"Lieutenant General He, do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon my companions and leave?" Yun Tianxiang stood on the railing with a righteous look, pointing at Lieutenant General He, and spoke loudly!

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not see Nico Robin, so he naturally thought that she had abandoned Nico Robin and ran away alone.

Hearing Lieutenant General He's decisive answer, Yun Tianxiang was so angry that he covered his chest with his right hand, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards. "Puff~ I'm going to sue you for defamation!"

"Hey. Tianxiang!" Sauron took the lead and came to Yun Tianxiang, supporting him to prevent him from falling. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

brush~

Taking advantage of the moment when Yun Tianxiang's body fell backwards, Vice Admiral He used the Moon Step to land on the ship. She looked at Sauron and said lightly: "Good boy. Don't get lost on the wrong road."

"What?" Looking at Vice Admiral Crane who appeared on the deck, Zoro left Yun Tianxiang behind, drew out three swords and attacked her.

Bang! Yun Tianxiang's head fell to the ground. He looked at Zoro who ran to fight with Vice Admiral Crane, and endured the pain in his head to remind him:

"Zoro! Be careful!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru just raised one hand lightly, and watched casually as Zoro's three swords chopped into her hands. In an instant, the three swords became as soft as woolen clothes on her hands.

"Nani! What's going on?!" Zoro was stunned when he saw the three limp swords.

"I am the user of the parahuman-type Wash-Wash Fruit. All people or objects touched by my hands can be cleansed!!!" Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly explained to Zoro why the three swords looked like washed clothes.

"What!?" Zoro jumped back immediately. He looked at his three swords becoming limp with great distress.

Seeing that Zoro's three swords were destroyed, Nami immediately burst into tears. She felt desperate, so she turned to ask Yun Tianxiang how to escape from here safely: "Tianxiang. What should we do?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yun Tianxiang himself was also in a headache. He never thought that Tsurugi would hunt down Luffy. According to the relationship between Tsurugi and Garp, Tsurugi theoretically should not capture Luffy.

However, what Yun Tianxiang didn't know was that while Vice Admiral Tsuru was waiting for them to fall into his trap, he had already used Den Den Mushi to contact Navy Marshal Sengoku and learned some information about the large-scale coma incident involving Zephyr.

From Zhan Guo's mouth, I learned that Yun Tianxiang and others had an IOU of 10 billion Baileys for the Navy. This IOU was written on Zefa's life card.

Therefore, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was originally just testing whether Luffy had the strength to survive in the Grand Line, turned to capturing Luffy and others. She must eliminate this IOU of 10 billion berries for the Navy.

"Nami! Zoro! Yun Tianxiang! Come here quickly!"

At this time, Luffy and others fought off the pursuing naval warships and rushed towards the ship.

"Wait. Hachi! Push that marine in the cabin over here!"

Seeing the warship behind Luffy, Yun Tianxiang suddenly thought of Tashigi, and he hurriedly shouted towards the cabin.

Upon hearing what happened, Xiao Ba, who was having a friendly conversation with Tashigi, grabbed Tashigi and her sword and brought them to the deck.

"What happened?" Xiao Ba held Dashiqi in his upper and left hands, a black knife in his middle and left hands, and Dashiqi's weapons in his lower and left hands. He walked out of the cabin slowly.

"Sergeant Tashigi! Why are you here!?"

Among the navy that followed Vice Admiral Tsuru from Rogue Town, someone recognized Tashigi.

Zoro looked at Dashigi in shock: "Why are you here?"

Tashigi looked at Zoro with an expression of being wronged, "Big liar. I will definitely take back the famous swords in your and your companions' hands!"

"Since you have hijacked the navy, it seems that I need to arrest you too!" Vice Admiral Tsuru was full of energy!

Yun Tianxiang felt pressured when he saw He was serious. He glanced at the people on the boat and gave instructions:

"Hachi! Take Tashigi and jump into the sea, follow the Merry! Don't let Lab swallow you!"

"Zoro. Take Nami with you and reunite with Luffy and the others. Jin, you can do whatever you want!"

Xiao Ba was confused and didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed Yun Tianxiang's order and jumped directly into the sea. He was holding Dashiqi above his head, making the navy very cautious.

Zoro searched the whole ship for Nami, but when he looked out to sea, he saw that Nami had already jumped into the sea with Jin and ran away with Hachi. "This bastard woman!!"

After saying that, Zoro also jumped into the sea and ran away, swimming towards the Merry.

"Your companions have all run away. Aren't you going to run with them?" Vice Admiral He calmly watched Sauron and others escape, and then ridiculed Yun Tianxiang's fighting spirit.

"Simply running away won't solve the problem. Besides, how can we know who will win without a real fight?" Yun Tianxiang took out the Sky Island Shell from his clothes with a smile.

The moment Crane saw Sky Island Bei appear, he immediately shouted, "Close your eyes!"
