Chapter 148: The Bridge of Hesitation (1)
Bang!
"The first pillar, the separation is complete!" The bombardment from the naval warship blew up the first half of the bridge before the first pillar and the second pillar of the Hesitant Bridge, in this case, even if Luffy defeated Rob Luffy, Luffy might not be able to evacuate with the others, because this distance was beyond the range of Luffy's rubber stretching ability.

Seeing the naval warships involved in the Demon Slaying Order approaching the Hesitant Bridge, the Straw Hats also knew that these navies were ready to start shifting their targets from Justice Island to them.
"Those bastards actually destroyed half of the bridge?" Sanji scolded indignantly as if the entire bridge was gone. If it weren't for the Navy's demand that Nicole Robin be captured alive, it would have been more than just a single shell that had blown off the first half of the Bridge of Hesitation. Instead, several shells fell on the second half of the project, and by that time they would have at least half of the casualties.
And after there is no foothold, those with Devil Fruit abilities can only sink to the bottom of the sea, while others do not have the ability to move in the air, and they will not master the moon step in the six naval styles like William, and can move in the air. Even if they could all enter William's castle space, it would be difficult for William to escape alone with William's strength.
"Looks like they're going to attack us!" Although William was reluctant to fight these navies, it seemed that Luffy couldn't solve Rob Lucci for a while. He hurriedly transferred the escort ship's Granny Cocoro and Chimney into the castle space, although he already had several plans in mind to evacuate here, but once the war with the navy began, it would be difficult to take care of everyone.
In other words, before Luffy comes over to rendezvous, they will have to have a fierce battle with the navy again, which is already inevitable. As a group of pirates, they can't abandon their captain and run for their lives!
"Hey, everyone, look, it's Luffy!" The people standing at the end of the Bridge of Hesitation happened to see Luffy fighting Rob Luffy on the first pillar pier, because the shelling just happened to blow up part of the top of the first pillar pier.
However, it seems that Luffy is already very tired, obviously the sequelae of excessive physical exertion after the rubber "second gear" ability is activated, but Rob Luffy doesn't look any better. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Luffy solves Rob Lucci in the rubber "second gear" state, but if he continues to fight, Luffy's situation will not be much better.
"Luffy, come on!" Usopp took off the Sniper King's mask and stood on the edge of the second pillar of the Bridge of Hesitation and shouted vigorously, "Everyone is safely assembled!
Hearing Usopp's voice, although Luffy didn't recognize that the Sniper King was played by Usopp, he was able to see Usopp here, and knew that Usopp hadn't given up on their partners, and some warmth suddenly welled up in his heart.
It's just that Luffy can't get out for a while now, Rob Lucci looks like a person who has no weaknesses at all, and the combination of animal fruit ability and super physical skills is simply a perfect combination. If Luffy hadn't successfully developed the rubber "second gear" and increased his speed and all his moves by a level, Luffy would really not be Rob Luffy's opponent.
"Miss Robin has also been rescued!" After seeing that Luffy was safe and sound, Sanji, who was relieved, hurriedly shouted encouragingly, "Come on, quickly defeat him!"
"Captain, what are you waiting for?" Seeing that Rob Luffy's injuries were worse than expected, and Luffy's condition was much better than expected. William, who knew that Luffy had a chance to win, also shouted at Luffy: "Kill the big cat that keeps pigeons, and then we all get out of here alive!
William believes that even if Luffy doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, he has a chance to defeat Rob Lucci with his current strength. At least before Luffy developed the rubber "second gear", William asked Luffy to learn the "shaving" in the six martial arts, the purpose was to improve Luffy's basic strength.
"Now it's up to us how long we can hold on!" After seeing that Luffy was safe and sound, Sauron, who was the deputy captain, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Glancing at the navy warships approaching, he knew that what was next was a fierce battle with the navy. As the Straw Hats' co-captain, it's his job to keep his companions safe until the captain returns.
"These navies are not those miscellaneous fish on Justice Island!" Although these navy elites are very strong, the only ones who can really threaten them are those five vice admirals. Before the fight, William didn't forget to remind him: "Be careful, there are also many Devil Fruit abilities among them!"
"It's all a sword revenant anyway, isn't it?" The arrogant Zoro didn't take these navies seriously at all, although he had a good time fighting with the four-knife stream Kaku when he was in the Justice Tower, but he didn't mind continuing to play with these navies for a while before Luffy rushed over.
And he also noticed that Luffy's situation seems to be a little bad just now, maybe after defeating Rob Luffy, Luffy's situation is not much better. That's why Zoro decided that before Luffy defeated Rob Luffy and rushed over, all the obstacles must be cleared.
"That's right!" Seeing Zoro's confidence, William also knew that it was useless to worry about it. If the five vice admirals make a move, only him, Zoro and Sanji can barely hold on to the scene for the time being.
Although Bao Zai's three-color domineering is very strong, the five vice admirals are not vegetarians, and without a strong body, it is still difficult to defeat the five vice admirals by relying on their strong domineering spirit alone.
"The major does not need to participate in the battle!" I don't know which vice admiral's voice sounded on the radio of the navy warship, but he directly ordered and shouted: "The 200 elite navy composed of lieutenant colonels and colonel-level officers and soldiers immediately encircle and suppress the gangs of villains and straw hats!"
These five vice admirals also knew that letting people with lower strength encircle and suppress the Straw Hats would obviously only become cannon fodder.
"Isn't this on the same level as that smoking man?Why are there so many masters at once?" Hearing that there were two hundred elite navy elites of the same level as Smoka, Usopp's legs trembled with fright.
Among the naval officers of the same rank, the officers of the headquarters were naturally a few ranks higher than the officers of the local branches, but not every naval colonel was as difficult as Smoka.
"It seems that William used to be a naval colonel, right?" Zoro glanced at William and suddenly remembered the incident. At least he had the impression that he had heard William say that he was once a naval colonel from the Great Voyage, but only had to leave the navy for some reason, and was pulled on board by Luffy after that. But no one asked about the reason why William left the navy, and William didn't seem to want to say, and most of the partners who joined later didn't know that William had been in the navy in the past.
"This shows that the navy is afraid of us!" Although the enemy sent two hundred masters, in William's eyes, only the rear admiral and vice admiral could really pose a threat to them. The rest of the enemies will at best contain them temporarily, but they won't do much damage to them.
He didn't know if there were still rear admirals involved in the demon slaying order, but the vice admirals had already confirmed that there were five. Moreover, three of them are still vice admirals with twenty-year-old qualifications, and their strength should not be underestimated!
"Just let them know how good I am!" Sanji said arrogantly, lighting a cigarette and holding it in his mouth. Because in the previous events of the Kingdom of Alabastan, he was still haunted by the fact that William and Sauron were both rewarded by the World Government, and only he was not rewarded.
Seeing Sanji's blood boiling, Zoro said unceremoniously: "No matter how you behave, it's not like this, Curly!"
"What are you talking about, do you want to come and see who killed more navies?" Although Sanji was angered by Zoro's words, he also knew that this was not the time for infighting, otherwise he would have to fight with Sauron before he could give up. Even if there was a real fight, Sanji had never been afraid of Zoro.
Although the duel is not suitable at this time, it can be changed in a different way, and it must depend on who kills the most navies and who is the winner. Although these navies have the rank of major to colonel, and their strength is uneven, it is clear that no one takes this as a reason at all.
"That's a good note!" Zoro immediately agreed with Sanji's proposal, thinking that this was a good opportunity to suppress Sanji. And said to William on the side: "William, you come too!"
"Not interested!" William declined Sauron's invitation, he only wanted to kill the navy now.
William has no interest in playing any game with Zoro and Sanji. One of these two is a belligerent swordsman, the other is a rogue cook, and it is simply unreasonable to fight them.
And if you really want to compete with whoever kills the navy to determine the winner or loser, then the Castle Legion is also one of his forces, how can this be calculated? It doesn't seem fair to let yourself have one Devil Fruit ability and two non-fruit ability people in this kind of competition, right?
Moreover, William is more worried about the five vice admirals than these 200 elite admirals. He's a traitor to the Navy, and these Vice Admirals will easily let him go? Obviously, this is impossible.
Why does the Demon Slayer Order have to be commanded by five vice admirals? Maybe it's because four of them can join the battle at any time!
