One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Damn! It's the same old setup!" Upon hearing Robin mention it, the robot's expression changed drastically. It immediately drew its sword and swung it, unleashing a colorless blade of energy that struck the row of robots in front of it. However, it only slammed them against the wall without causing any damage to their bodies. The robots then staggered to their feet, gripped their spears, and launched the energy from the spearheads towards Robin's position!

"Watch out! You've missed a step!" Maggie instantly moved her body and appeared in front of Robin, pulling her aside to avoid a misstep!

"Destroy the invaders!"

"Destroy the invaders!" A cold, mechanical voice rang out from the robots, who once again swung their spears and launched a coordinated attack!

"Nilco, scout ahead!" Maby also abandoned the idea of ​​annihilating them. The material, as solid as those walls, couldn't be destroyed in a short time! In addition, with the energy that could run for eight hundred years, it was impossible to stall for time or outlast them. What needed to be done now was to find a way out and leave this place as soon as possible!

"Okay!" Seeing that he couldn't help here, Nielco immediately followed Mabi's instructions and crawled into the ceiling to get out first, then find an exit by relying on his connection with his arm guards to find a passage.

"Intruder, abandon her! That way you won't face so many guards!" An unnamed voice echoed in the empty hall, observing the man and woman hastily fleeing from the guards' pursuit, while continuing to control the robots within the base in their chase!

"Robin! I've discovered you're the intruder! It's not me! What's wrong with how these robots are programmed?! Before, you were all protected by the base's equipment, leaving me alone to face the guards' attacks! Now you're the ones facing me, ignoring me!" Maggie ran while holding Robin in her arms. After observing the trajectory of the enemy's weapons, she realized they were all heading straight for Robin, completely ignoring her. Now, she could only hold her in her arms to protect her from the attacks!

"This is abnormal. Based on the information left behind at that shelter, they only attack intruders!" Knowing the robots' target completely overturned his previous understanding! They were programmed not to attack the people of this world, so why were they attacking him? And if he really was an intruder, why did they protect him before?

"Misstep!" Mabi stepped onto a flying longsword, tilting her body to kick away another spear that was thrusting straight at her. However, a powerful electric current spread through the Haki layer wrapped around her leg, instantly numbing her entire leg and slowing her body down! Several more spears seized the opportunity to rush towards Robin in Mabi's arms. Enduring the discomfort of the lightning, she stomped her foot hard and dodged at top speed, but because of the numbing effect, several sharp spear tips directly cut through Mabi's skin, drawing blood!

"Put mine down! Since their target is me! As long as you leave here and regain your powers, you can dismantle this place and rescue me!"

"Don't even think about it! You'll turn into a candied hawthorn skewer the moment I leave!" Dodging another rapid shot, Mebi snarled and casually ran towards a metal tunnel!

"Bang!" Sensing a change in the airflow ahead, her body suddenly darted to the calmer side, bending low and shifting horizontally! A fist slashed past Mabi and slammed into the metal wall, creating a crater about a meter in diameter!

"Holy crap! This damage is hundreds of times greater than my ability to break through the air! It's many times greater than my ability to step through the air! Taking a hit from this would definitely shatter my body!" Mabi cursed, looking back at the deep crater. If the previous sky island guard was a normal person, then this three-meter-tall, stick-figure-like robot that suddenly appeared was a being beyond Superman. After all, even diamonds could be broken by itself, yet it was powerless against this strange metal!

"Mabi! Over here!" As they passed a corner of a metal corridor, Neilco's soul suddenly appeared in front of Mabi and hurriedly called him over.

"found it?"

"found it!"

"Then let's hurry up and get out of here!" Without a moment's rest, the robots behind them began firing their spears! Countless ice spears, pillars of fire, and beams of lightning appeared behind Maby, striking the metal walls and leaving slight scratches!

"Misstep!" Mabi endured the pain from the spear piercing her leg and stomped her foot on the metal floor to maintain her speed and follow Neilco, dodging the attacks that appeared from all around. Doing so would only waste her time to escape! The stick figure robot behind her was even faster with its punches. Just a slight touch from its punches caused a burning pain. Without even looking, she knew that the piece of flesh had already disappeared.

"The exit is just ahead! Hurry up, Mabi! Remember to close your eyes!" Neilco's spirit shouted, pointing to the square opening ahead.

"Go!" Now that an exit had appeared, he didn't care about speeding up his movements to heal his injuries. He gained a few more speed and leaped out!

"Whoosh!" Countless beams of energy of various colors streaked past Maby's eyes and shot into the distant sky! Maby obeyed his instructions and closed her eyes to listen to what Neilco was observing!

"The Gate of Justice! You said we're tens of thousands of meters in the air! This teleportation was tens of thousands of meters at a time, at least ten times faster than before! We traversed directly from the ground to the air!" Upon hearing his words, Mabi opened her eyes and looked around. She immediately saw a giant iron gate faintly visible in the clouds below, along with a strange cross painted on it—the very same unique symbol she had seen before! It was now slightly ajar, signifying that the war had begun!

Letting her body plummet, listening to the whooshing sound of wind cutting through her ears, Mabi turned to look at the sky behind her and saw a blazing white, luminous object floating there! The outer wheels of the base she had been running from were no longer visible in the bright light! Mabi didn't have time to think about these things; what she needed to do now was get into the battle quickly, not worry about what had happened to that base! She could farm that base instance later! Since this was the legendary island that would never go out, it probably wouldn't leave anytime soon!

"Robin, take this! Spray two horizontal cloud layers behind me!" Mabi stepped on the cloud layers to slow down until she stopped falling, then took out a fist-sized seashell and handed it to Robin, shouting.

"Yunbei?"

"Iron Cloud Shell!"

"Okay!" Although she didn't know what to do, she followed Maby's instructions and did it! She conjured up several arms and took out bandages to bandage Maby's wounds!

"Not bad!" Mabi stretched out her arm to test the solidity of the iron cloud-formed board and found it to be quite sturdy, which should be enough to support the two of them to reach the ground!

"Remember to hold on tight!" Mabi called out, using her feet to dissipate the force and gliding downwards using the iron cloud plate behind her!

"In the end, they didn't give up! We can abandon eliminating non-destructive intruders!" The unknown entity observed Mabi's descent, uttering a few muffled sounds before falling silent. If someone could break through the blazing white light in the sky, they would see a metal fortress made entirely of metal standing tens of thousands of meters above the ground! The six colossal metal structures, hundreds of meters tall, were truly awe-inspiring, with countless robots moving within for maintenance!

.

"Angelia! Aren't Maggie and the others down there?!" Nami swung her Clima-Tact, sending a bolt of lightning into a crowded area, and asked Angelia, who was flying up from the cliff below.

"Trust Mebius! He'll be back as soon as possible!" In her serpentine form, Mia flanked Nami to protect her from harm, swinging her weapon with immense force to cleave the enemy and send them flying!

"No! There's only some trash below, they're not there! Divine Descent!" Angelia shook her head and replied, retracting her wings. She took out her white staff, and several white beams of light shot out from it, accurately landing on her companion's head and disappearing into it.

"Haha! Thanks! Gum-Gum Air Cannon!" Luffy laughed heartily as he felt his stamina return. He immediately turned red, contracted all his muscles, activated Gear Second, and sent the crowd attacking him flying!

"Damn it! These pirates are on performance-enhancing drugs! They've suddenly become much stronger!" He cursed as he felt the vibrations from his weapon.

"Vice Admiral Fire Mountain! These pirates are too powerful! Ten rear admirals and a thousand majors have been unable to do anything to them! Especially that Thunder Witch Nami, we can hardly get close to her. She is always protected by her companions and they are unleashing lightning at us!" The observer in charge of monitoring the battle reported his observations.

"Is that so?" Huoshaoshan smiled as he puffed on his cigar and looked at the battle in the distance.

"Fire! Destroy CP9 headquarters on Enies Lobby and cut off the Straw Hat crew's retreat! Notify all Devil Fruit users to retreat! Gunners, fire seastone nets at the Devil Fruit users! All snipers, take your positions, change to seastone bullets, and begin sniping!"

"Order!"

.

"Thirty-six kinds of troubles, Phoenix!" Zoro saw the giant stone net descending from the sky and used strong wind pressure to make it spin upwards and away from the battlefield!

"Luffy! Back off! Those are all Seastone nets that Maple said Devil Fruit users must not touch!" Zoro swung his sword in front of Luffy to prevent the giant Seastone nets from reappearing!

"Seastone is such a troublesome thing!" Luffy said with great disgust, but still didn't want to back away!

"I'll take this! Iron Cloud Barriers!" Seeing this, Jack lashed out with his tail, swatting away the enemy! He placed his palm on the ground, and countless iron clouds spread out from his hand, rapidly extending in all directions to form iron cloud barriers a foot thick, covering the entire battle scene! The giant sea stone net that fell from the sky was helplessly caught on it, serving no purpose whatsoever!

"Usopp! I'll clear out the attackers for you! You quickly destroy the turrets so they can't fire any more Seastone!" Sanji shouted, kicking away the crazed enemy as he moved sideways in that direction!

"Alright! Behold my laser shuriken!" Usopp weighed the cross-shaped mechanical device, about a foot long and wide with a seashell at each end, in his hand, placed it in his ammunition pouch, aimed at a warship, and fired it directly! The latch set during flight opened, and instantly a laser disc tens of meters in diameter appeared, frantically slicing through everything in its path!

"Haha! Super Wind Cannon!" Franky, with a pile of cola under his feet, frantically wiped out all the enemies around him, laughing maniacally!

"This is so refreshing! This is the first time I haven't had to worry about consuming cola!"

"Behold my Incendiary Cannon! Electromagnetic Cannon!" In his humanoid form, Chopper carried a cannon on each shoulder! Blue-white plasma and orange flames intertwined, causing a violent explosion that blasted against the distant giant ship, resulting in a massive blast!

Chapter 119 Five Lieutenant Generals Join the Battle

P.S.: The cigar-smoking scene in the previous chapter was Huoshaoshan, not Doberman. There was a mistake in the previous chapter!

"This is Nami's thundercloud!"

As Mabi glided through layers of white clouds, she saw the blue-white lightning flashing in the dark clouds below and heard the sounds of fighting below. She immediately shouted excitedly.

"Haha! My friends, I'm back! Breaking the Void!" He retracted one arm, drew his long sword, and unleashed an invisible blade of energy that pierced through the layers of dark clouds, revealing a giant cannon platform shimmering with dark light below. The remaining blade of energy landed directly on the cannon platform and swept across it.

Upon seeing the attack coming from above, the soldiers on the entire ship fell silent, but when they saw the cracks on the gun emplacements, they roared wildly.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Get out of the way! The gun emplacement is about to break!"

Through the thick clouds, Maby immediately saw a wide cloud bridge connecting Enies Lobby and the Bridge of Hesitation below, and her companions were at the end of the cloud bridge, with countless marines brandishing their weapons and charging towards them!

"Haha! Mabi's back! Let's go, crew!" Hearing Mabi's shout, Luffy looked up and saw the figure emerging from the crack. He laughed heartily. He had been standing here to welcome the Buster Call for this very moment.

"Haha! Your comrades are back! Let me take you out of here on a ship! Strong right fist!" Franky exclaimed upon seeing this, and jumped onto a warship with long arms near the outer perimeter!

"I'll help you!" Usopp grabbed the other's foot and followed him!

"The lieutenant general and his men are coming to hijack the ship!" The crew member on the lookout tower, having observed the situation, immediately used a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to inform all the warships on the battlefield that there were soldiers there!

"So that's why you pirates didn't see their pirate ship!" said the middle-aged man in a light purple striped suit with a blue shirt underneath, wearing a justice cape and sporting a mohawk.

"The communications officer orders all soldiers to drop anchor immediately! All ships to remain stationary! Aim your cannons at the Straw Hat Pirates on the Bridge of Hesitation! We must wipe them out here!"

"I have the order! Lord Flying Squirrel!"

"Clang! Clang!" The sound of countless iron chains rising and falling echoed across the entire sea. The huge mountain-shaped iron anchor fell heavily into the sea and hooked onto the seabed rocks!

"Lord Fire Mountain!" The navy personnel who were not currently on deck and were not about to launch an attack swallowed hard and asked for instructions upon seeing the two figures that suddenly appeared.

"Oh ho, they actually dared to seize a warship! Take them down!" A middle-aged man with a large beard, a cigar in his mouth, and slightly narrowed eyes smiled as he looked at the two men who had suddenly jumped out.

"Oh!" The soldiers in Squad A were excited when they saw the lieutenant general give the order. They thought they had just been sent on a mission since they hadn't been involved in the war before. But the soldiers had foolishly boarded the warship, which gave them a perfect reason to participate in the war!

"Usopp! It seems we've got the wrong ship!" Franky looked at the man who was now surrounded by admirers on the deck, smiling as he looked at all the soldiers holding weapons and glaring menacingly in their direction!

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Luffy! Mavis, help!" Usopp screamed in terror at the sight of hundreds of soldiers surrounding him! Call for the strongest to arrive as soon as possible!

"That brat Usopp!" Maggie was about to head over to Nami and hand Robin over to them. Since they had chosen this ship, they might as well go and clear out the soldiers on board!

"Bang!" Maggie descended from the sky, landing directly on the warship's armored crew. She pried open the fading Iron Cloud Wings and her gaze fell upon the middle-aged man in the Justice Cloak, who was smoking a cigar and smiling as he watched them. She ordered, "Usopp, long-range sniping! Robin, assist Franky in close-range shooting! I'll deal with that Vice Admiral!"

"Yo! Yo! An incredible young man has arrived!" The glow of his cigar flickered in the mouth of the Fire Mountain, and his eyes, slightly narrowed, softened as he stared at Mabi's sudden appearance. He ordered, "All soldiers, split into two groups: one to capture Nico Robin, whom Admiral Aokiji ordered, and the other to clear out the crowd below attempting to climb up again! This young man is mine!"

"call out!"

With a loud whooshing sound, Mabi straightened her left leg and raised her right arm to parry! A figure suddenly appeared in front of Mabi, the opponent's weapon striking directly at Mabi's blade! The powerful shockwave caused Mabi's black clothes to rustle and the impact reached her feet!

"Lieutenant General! A sneak attack is not a good idea!" Mabi said, her eyes fixed on the other man's smiling face as she steadily braced herself against his weapon.

"Oh! How about this then!" The other party didn't care at all, raised his arm at lightning speed and slashed down with even greater force than before.

"Misstep!" Mabi stomped her foot hard, shifting her body to dodge the opponent's attack, and swung her long sword down!

"Sever the Void!"

"Clang!" Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing, a terrifying and invisible wave emanated from it and spread directly outwards!

"Crack! Crack!" The overburdened deck suddenly burst open, and countless wood chips and planks were ejected like cannonballs, carrying endless wind pressure and shooting outwards!

"Watch out!" Franky saw the endless wood chips and immediately spread his arms to shield Robin and Usopp behind him, taking the brunt of the attacks alone while watching the continuous roaring sounds from the deck!

.

"Nami, Mia, Angelia, Chopper, you guys get on the ship first, I'll cover the rear!" Luffy swung his arm in a wide arc, sweeping across the area, and once again used his sense of air to dodge the incoming Seastone bullets!

"Bang! Bang!" With each step Jack took, several cloud pillars shot out and attacked any enemies in sight!

"I'm here to help you! Iron Cloud Bridge!" A cloud path stretched out from beneath his feet, extending towards the front of the ship's side and drawing closer!

"Fire and blast their escape route! Don't let them get away!" The guns of the anchored warships further away, several meters high, were immediately turned and aimed in this direction!

"One Hundred and Eight Troublesome Phoenix!" Zoro, with Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, swung his arms and unleashed a powerful shockwave, clearing a path through the densely packed Marines in front of him!

"Banquet desk!" Sanji braced himself with his hands on the ground, his black legs spinning like windmills, carrying powerful wind pressure that deflected countless incoming weapons! Instantly, the entire attack path was cleared!

"Gum-Gum Extendable Air Cannon!" Luffy, his entire body glowing red, pushed his palms forward, seemingly motionless, yet the sharp weapons and flying bullets in his eyes were rendered immobile by his powerful air pressure! Countless air masses, unable to maintain their speed, instantly exploded, clearing the area within dozens of meters of him! All the Marines were thrown out by the powerful blast wave, crashing off the cloud platform and plunging into the surging sea below!

"Iron Cloud Jungle!" The remaining survivors were once again blasted off the platform by Jack's dense cloud pillars! The four of them stood there like iron pillars cast from steel, guarding the passage behind them!

Only a few dozen marines remained casually standing on the platform! Judging from their nonchalant attitude as they attacked their surroundings, those who remained were all powerful individuals!

Before they could even move, countless blue and white lightning bolts descended from the sky, searching for objects below that could be struck!

"Thunderclouds!"

"Attack! Rubber collapsible pistols!"

"Up the tower!"
