Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Tina
"The beast hasn't come over, that's good!"
On the Surface of the Sea, Tina piloted the Battleship in pursuit of Nico Robin, who was riding a Sea Turtle. As the distance closed, a Sailor asked, "Colonel Tina, the Cannon is ready. Should we prepare to fire?"
"Yes, aim the Cannon at Nico Robin and cover the front."
Tina raised her telescope to observe Nico Robin.
"Understood, preparations for bombardment are complete."
"Fire."
With the command given, the Cannon on the left side of the ship roared to life, launching cannonballs into the air.
Four gun ports.
On Tina's Naval Battleship, there were four gun ports on one side, while the Vice Admiral's Vessel boasted twelve on one side alone. Additionally, there were triple-barreled Cannons mounted at the front and sides.
A Vice Admiral ship stretched over a hundred meters long, capable of carrying twelve hundred crew members and equipped with up to thirteen cannons.
Of course, Tina's Naval Battleship was not limited to just cannons; it also wielded a Crossbow.
It fired long iron arrows that could easily pierce through enemy hulls.
Boom, boom...
Four cannonballs were fired, roaring towards the distant Nico Robin. One cannonball struck behind her, another landed to the right of Xiaqiu, one fell in front of Nico Robin, and only one cannonball was aimed directly at her.
"Is there only one battleship?"
Seeing this scene, Nico Robin showed no signs of panic as she raised her hands.
"Blooming Flowers, Net."
With her voice, arms sprouted and intertwined in front of her to form a large net.
Thud.
One cannonball landed in the net, and the tremendous force caused the net to recoil. Once it reached its limit, it snapped back.
Boom.
The cannonball rebounded into the air and exploded.
"Cannonball is useless?"
Tina observed this and snorted coldly. "Then let's use the Iron Gun Cannon."
On Tina's ship was a peculiar cannon with a long barrel that fired Iron Guns, boasting immense power.
"Yes, preparing Iron Gun Cannon."
"Fire."
Boom, boom, boom.
Black Iron Guns shot towards Nico Robin, enveloping her figure.
"Iron Gun? That's something I can't catch with a net."
Seeing the Iron Guns coming her way, Nico Robin couldn't help but feel troubled, but then an idea sparked in her mind. "I should be able to handle this now."
Nico Robin focused intently on the arrows and raised her hands.
Petals scattered, and suddenly, arms sprouted from the Crossbow Bolts in the distance, near the arrowheads.
These arms bent and pressed against the tips of the Iron Guns.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The front ends of the Iron Guns were suddenly pushed away by a force, tilting sharply as they plunged into the sea one by one.
"Is this Nico Robin's ability?"
Tina observed this scene and said, "Load ammunition, do not attack. Maintain a horizontal distance and pursue."
The Naval Battleship moved forward, closing the horizontal distance to Nico Robin.
Nico Robin saw the Battleship charging toward her and realized that if it got too close, she wouldn't be able to stop the Cannon and Crossbow Bolt.
So, she dashed out from the Bingqi, positioning herself directly in front of the Battleship.
"She’s trying to avoid the side of the ship."
Tina observed Nico Robin's actions and snorted coldly. "She's actually coming forward to collide. Prepare the Crossbow, and get the firearms ready."
With his command, the entire ship surged toward Nico Robin, closing in rapidly, while the ship's Crossbow aimed at her.
At that moment, Nico Robin looked at the Battleship with a smile on her lips and raised her arms.
"You’re getting too close."
Nico Robin said lightly, and suddenly, arms sprouted from the sailors on the Battleship.
The sailor controlling the Iron Gun Cannon twisted his body, a sharp crack echoed as he fell to the deck.
Other sailors attempted to raise their spears but were also restrained by numerous arms.
Not only that, but arms also grew from Tina's back and shoulders, trying to twist her body.
However, in the next moment, long bars extended from Tina's back to restrain Nico Robin's arms.
"I am a Barrier-Barrier Fruit user; you cannot bind me."
Tina let out a cold snort, her body extending iron branches that wrapped around the arms growing from her own form.
Suddenly, all the arms transformed into petals and vanished without a trace.
"Flowers, after all," Tina remarked in surprise.
She raised an eyebrow. "But your arms are of no use to me."
Tina leaped directly to the bow of the ship, lifting her arm as two iron branches shot out, spreading toward Nico Robin. As they advanced, additional iron branches sprouted beneath them, intertwining to form two iron nets that converged on Nico Robin.
"Twenty Blooming Flowers, Giant Tree."
In the next moment, a massive arm suddenly rose from the ship, aiming to strike Tina.
"Not good."
Tina pushed off with her feet and leaped to the side.
Boom!
The enormous arm slammed down where Tina had just stood, creating a deafening sound as cracks appeared across the deck.
"That was close."
Tina straightened her body, preparing to attack again, but at that moment, she hesitated.
Bang, bang.
Two bullets shot out, hitting Tina's legs, and blood splattered as she collapsed to the ground.
"What’s happening?"
Tina lay on the ground and turned her head to see two smoking rifles aimed at her from behind.
"Colonel Tina, I'm sorry, it wasn't me who fired."
Behind the rifles stood two Sailors, their arms behind their backs, but extending from their shoulders were two arms gripping the rifles.
"Nico Robin's ability?"
Tina looked at the gun barrels with a look of despair.
Bang, bang.
The gunshots rang out, and Tina closed her eyes.
But the expected impact never came. Slowly, Tina opened her eyes to find two holes in the deck right beside her.
"They let me go?"
Tina was somewhat puzzled as to why Nico Robin had bypassed her and chose not to kill her.
"Twenty Petals, Giant Tree."
"Vibrant Colors, Giant Tree."
Suddenly, a massive arm appeared at the ship's position, slamming down on the helm and completely destroying it.
Not only that, but two enormous legs also sprouted not far from the Mast, and two gigantic feet came crashing down towards it.
Crack.
With the stomp of the feet, cracks appeared on the Mast, which ultimately broke and crashed down with a loud thud.
"That's enough."
Seeing this scene, Nico Robin instructed Bingqi to leave and disappear into the distance.
"Hurry, save Colonel Tina!"
The surrounding Sailors rushed towards Tina, who raised her arm and slammed it down onto the ground. "She actually got away! Tina feels utterly humiliated."
...
"Has she left?"
Xiaqiu killed Pern and a Major, swallowing them whole, leaving the remaining Sailors unable to stop him in the slightest.
Xiaqiu burst through the crowd blocking his path, charging towards the Battleship, hoping to rescue Nico Robin.
But he noticed that the Mast on the Battleship was slowly toppling, and Nico Robin had already ridden away on Bingqi into the distance.
"The Mast has been destroyed; we can't chase Nico Robin now. She is safe for the time being."
Xiaqiu felt relieved. With Nico Robin safe, he could attack the three Naval Battleships without any worries.
He had to ensure they stayed here.
Xiaqiu did not stop; instead, he charged towards the Battleship.
