Chapter 89 Wood who almost died at the hands of Skee
Sengoku received the news of Wood's defection from the navy. As a rear admiral of the headquarters, Gion could not possibly know anything about it.
When he heard the news, Gion's first reaction was disbelief. However, when more intelligence came to the Navy Headquarters, and it was confirmed that Wood had taken hundreds of prisoners to hijack the warship and escaped from the impelder city, Gion had to
Do not believe.
Gion's feelings for Wood have always been quite subtle. She regarded Wood as both a friend and an opponent.
When he saw Wood in the Holy Land Marie Joa, risking his life to help the fish-men for the sake of justice in his heart, Gion admired him again.
Although Wood may not look serious on the surface, and even has a somewhat shameless personality at times, he is indeed a man who dares to kill Dracos for the sake of the weak, and dares to risk his own life in Mariejoia for the sake of friendship and kindness.
Gion does not believe that a person who is so committed to justice would betray the navy.
So no matter what, Gion wanted to know the answer from the other party himself.
And if that answer doesn't satisfy Gion, then she will carry out her own justice and capture her former friend in Impel Down!
"Even if you think so highly of the former Navy Lieutenant Commander Wood, with his past performance and strength, as well as his former rank of Major, it is indeed against the regulations to dispatch such a combat force.
You must know that the navy headquarters is also in short supply of combat power. In order to investigate the fishmen's attack on the Holy Land Mariejoia, we sent a large number of navy troops to search for the whereabouts of Fisher Tiger and others.
Now that the Golden Lion Shiji has escaped from prison, the Navy Headquarters currently has limited forces and really does not have the energy to hunt down a mere former Navy Lieutenant Colonel."
Sengoku is obviously making peace with him, but Gion thinks that Sengoku is not familiar with Wood because he doesn't have a clear understanding of his strength.
Gion wanted to tell Sengoku how dangerous Wood was, but found that she really had no examples to mention.
This guy Wood is too low-key. He has been in the Navy for so long and has almost no decent record.
The only record that could be obtained was probably what happened in the Holy Land Marie Joa, but that matter was so shady that Gion really couldn't talk about it.
"Then I don't need extra troops, I just need the basic configuration of a warship!"
Marshal Sengoku was unable to advance and missed the best time to pursue. It was not easy to catch Wood, so Gion could only make the final compromise.
Seeing Gion's resolute attitude, even showing that he would disobey orders and go out if he didn't agree, Sengoku could only nod helplessly in the end.
Because he really couldn't find any other excuse. Gion was Wood's classmate and good friend, and it was natural for the navy to pursue criminals. Sengoku really couldn't find a reason to refute.
Seeing Gion slamming the door and rushing out after getting the approval, Sengoku could only secretly pray for Wood, hoping that he would not be caught by Gion so easily.
However, Sengoku soon felt relieved again. There was a vast expanse of sea. Where did Wood and the others escape to now? Not even the Navy Headquarters had accurate information. Gion led dozens of naval forces. How could it be possible to find Wood so easily?
Unfortunately, what Sengoku didn't know was that Gion had Wood's life paper in his hand, which he left behind during his last mission to the Holy Land Marie Joa.
As long as he has the guidance of the paper of life, even if Wood escapes to Lovedru, he can't escape from the clutches of her Gion!
As for the other side, Wood, who had been fighting fiercely with Golden Lion Shiji for a long time, obviously didn't know at this moment that he had been targeted by Gion.
"Shishiwei Haijuan!"
Under Shiji's "Floating Fruit" ability, a large amount of seawater appeared to be floating, and waves hundreds of meters high even appeared to close in, completely surrounding Wood.
At the top of the waves, the sea water gathered into roaring lion beasts, and opened its bloody mouth to bite Wood in the middle.
The powerful tsunami, like a natural disaster, roared towards Wood, because his body was surrounded by seawater barriers, and no matter how powerful his "Seeing, Hearing, and Color Dominance" was, he couldn't find a place to hide.
The only way to escape was in the sky, because the waves were too high at this moment, hundreds of meters away from Wood. No matter how fast the "moon step" was, it was not as fast as the falling waves.
The ability of "Fluttering Fruit" is so terrifying. At the same time, Wood now understands the reason why Golden Lion Shiji was as famous as Whitebeard and Roger at his peak.
The ability of "Fluttering Fruit" is actually not weaker than Whitebeard's "Shocking Fruit".
Just like Whitebeard, who is the Earthquake Man, can cause earthquakes and sea tremors, so can Shiji's Fluttering Fruit.
The move he is using now is called "Lion Power·Earth Scroll" on the ground, and on the sea, it is called "Lion Power·Sea Scroll".
Not to mention anything else, Shi Ji who uses this fruit's ability on the sea, except for a few ability users, is completely unmatched by anyone else.
As we all know, the nemesis of Devil Fruit users is sea water. How many people with abilities can resist such an overwhelming tsunami?
Faced with the overwhelming tsunami, even though Wood tried his best, his manpower was still unable to defeat the natural disaster.
Although the dazzling slashes split the tsunami, for Shi Ji, who had the "Fluttering Fruit", it was simply a piece of cake to make the sea water float and gather again.
The turbulent sea water directly hit Wood into the sea, and before he could swim out of the water, the ability of the floating fruit twisted him and the surrounding sea water directly into a twist of water that rushed to the sky.
"boom------!"
Wood, who was trapped in the water, gradually felt weak due to the strong feeling of suffocation. Just when Shichi was about to give Wood the final blow, a gunshot suddenly echoed in the air.
As a blood flower bloomed on Shi Ji's shoulder, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
The twisting water column that restrained Wood seemed to have lost its support at this moment, and everyone including him and the water fell into the sea water.
"Sealstone bullets! You little brat actually still has something like this on you!"
Sea floor stone is a very expensive thing in the sea, but because of its hard texture, the price of the weapons produced is even higher.
As for Hailoushi's pistol and bullets, these things can be said to be the nemesis of ability users. Not to mention how outrageous the price is, it is impossible for ordinary people to have them.
It's a pity that when it came to gathering together, Wood happened to have a handful of this kind of thing that ordinary people couldn't possibly have.
The origin of this sea-floor stone pistol was that Wood took it out from the treasury of Charmaco Saint at that time.
