Not long after Wu Liang and his party left the dock of Gunkanjima, a large wooden box with a tattered appearance floated to a very inconspicuous corner near the dock, and a tall thin man with long purple hair and a long wooden thorn inserted in the shoulder blade of his left shoulder struggled to climb out of the wooden box, stumbled from the sea step by step onto the beach, basked in the sun for a few minutes, and then chased along the coast in the direction where the sails of the Golden Merry had disappeared.

It was not a member of the navy who was disguised as a wooden box for a long time to avoid the search of Wu Liang and his party, but a free mercenary hired by the Eighth Branch Admiral Nelson Roy at a high price, and a superhuman scythe fruit ability---- Whirlwind Eric, this guy was blown directly into the sea by the storm in the violent explosion caused by the hit of the flagship ammunition depot, and luckily found a wooden box to accommodate him, so he escaped the fate of being drowned in the sea.

Wu Liang, who was driving the Golden Merry to the Cape of Long Nose, didn't know that there were any fish that slipped through the net, and he didn't care about this, the more important thing at the moment was to sail the boat to the vicinity of the Cape of Long Nose only to find that this ghost place was a long cliff protruding into the sea, and below the cliff was a large piece of broken reef, and there was no place to dock the ship, let alone find a suitable place to send the Millennium Dragon to the ship.

"Masaka? These bastards aren't planning to smash the Millennium Dragon off the cliff right away! Looking at the long promontory that protruded into the sea at least more than fifty meters, Wu Liang suddenly struck a thrill, and his cold hair stood on end, so much that he thought of a very unreliable way to board the ship, and he screamed in disbelief.

"Nani, smash it down from above? The distance from the top of the cliff to the surface of the sea is at least twenty or thirty meters high, isn't Luffy afraid of falling to death the big guy who can't fly? No matter how messy it is, you won't be so reckless! Sakura Reiko, who was standing near Wu Liang, listened to Wu Liang's speculation very well, and killed Wu Liang's speculation as if it was a joke.

"It's not the first day you met Luffy, this guy has a hot brain and dares to do anything, and he won't think about the consequences at all, and besides, he himself is a rubber fruit ability, maybe he wants to use himself as a human flesh lift or a cushion, right? Alas! Xiba, who knows what this thing thinks! The more I thought about it, the more I felt that such an unreliable way of acting was in line with Luffy's style, and Wu Liang was so excited that even the commonly used word "Xiba" came out of his mouth.

"Hell, then we should stay away first, and then come back to catch them when they fall into the sea, otherwise even if they don't fall to death, they will smash through the deck, and even more unlucky, if they fall on the top of the mast, they will become meat skewers!" After Wu Liang said this, and then recalled a little about the way Lu Fei Riri, even Sakura thought about it more and more that Wu Liang's speculation was likely to come true, so he immediately issued a warning to Wu Liang.

"That's right, hurry up and stop the boat first!" Thinking about the huge gravity bonus brought by the thousand-year-old dragon's almost rhinoceros weight falling from a height of thirty meters, Wu Liang had no doubt that this thing would directly smash through the upper and lower decks and directly sink the Golden Merry, so he immediately put away the sails and let the ship float slowly on the sea, waiting for Luffy and them to fall into the sea before rescuing.

Such a delay naturally gave the free mercenary ---- Eric who quietly followed him an opportunity to seize the opportunity to follow him all the way from the shore, and after the wind and sun along the way, his clothes soaked in sea water were dried nine times out of ten, which no longer affected his ability to use fruits.

After personally experiencing Wu Liang's powerful cannonballing, Erik, as a senior mercenary, is already very aware of the fact that he can't play long-range combat with him, otherwise he is afraid that he will be blown up alive if he can't even touch the edge, in order to ensure that he can get a chance to get close, Eric who caught up with him temporarily hid in the grass near the cape of Long Nose, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come in close combat.

Because the cape was dozens of meters above sea level, it was impossible to observe Luffy's movements from the top of the mountain, so Wu Liang parked the boat near the cape for about ten minutes, and did not wait for Luffy and them to go down the mountain, worried for a while, Wu Liang waited a little impatiently, handed over the rudder to Usopp to take charge temporarily, and then jumped off the sea and swam quickly in the direction of the cliff that was only less than five hundred meters.

Wu Liang didn't know that his every move was watched by Eric on the top of the cliff, and moved his body to the direction of the landing along the trajectory of his swimming, preparing to restrain Wu Liang first and take Wu Liang as a hostage to seize the Golden Merry and the Millennium Dragon.

Well! Such a plan cannot be said to be without the slightest possibility of success, according to Eric's strength, there are indeed not many enemies in the East China Sea who are qualified to be called qualified opponents, but Wu Liang is obviously one of the very few who is qualified to be called the best among opponents, it can be said that when he stepped on the first step on the gravel beach, he had already noticed the bursts of murderous aura coming from the top of the cliff, and even Eric was hiding in the bushes clearly, who was in ambush and who might not be able to tell!

Giving up the gentle slope of the hill that was slightly flat but completely watched by the top of the slope, Wu Liang relied on his agility to climb directly from the bottom of the cliff, but instead went around to the back of the bushes where Eric was hiding, and with a movement of his left hand, the Shenzi long knife appeared in his hand, followed by a slash, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.

When the blade was approaching, Erik, who had been looking for Wu Liang's traces, reacted in time, jumped forward three times in a row to dodge Wu Liang's slash, and did not forget to scratch the air several times with his long nails, thin hands like eagle claws, and one after another invisible slashes came towards Wu Liang with a strong wind.

"! What the hell this is! Although the slash was invisible to the naked eye, Wu Liang still relied on his sensitive perception and domineering early warning to narrowly avoid the invisible slash that flew towards him before the strong wind approached, but because of the dodge action, he also lost the opportunity to launch a pursuit.

Because the time was too far away, even though Wu Liang's memory had been strengthened, he still couldn't remember the specific ability of this small supporting role, so Leng Buding's counterattack from the Devil Fruit ability made Wu Liang feel a little caught off guard for a while.

"It's dangerous! I didn't think it would have been discovered by you a long time ago, but your good luck is over here, look at the move, the sickle five consecutive shots! Erik, who flipped forward three times in a row, immediately returned the color to Wu Liang, and the battle between the two sides officially began......!
