When Wood took away the seastone pistol before, he thought it would be expensive, but he didn't expect that it would actually come in handy at such a critical moment.
Most of the things robbed from Chalmac Saint were lost in the sea when Wood fled, but the pistol did not fall because it was strapped to his waist at the time.
Logically speaking, with Golden Lion Shiji's level, even if he has sea tower stone bullets, it shouldn't be easy to hit the opponent.
However, Shiji was too presumptuous just now. Although he saw Wood using a pistol, he did not use Armed Haki to defend, nor did he choose to dodge. Instead, he used the ability of the "Fluttering Fruit" to make the bullets float in the air.
The final result was naturally obvious. How could the Devil Fruit's ability affect Hailoushi? Even when Shiji realized that something was wrong, he had already been shot in the shoulder.
The Sea Tower Stone can incapacitate those with Devil Fruit abilities, so no matter how powerful Shiji is, he is no exception.
Once the ability of the fluttering fruit disappeared, it naturally could no longer maintain its floating state, but fortunately when it was about to fall into the sea, Shi Ji finally endured the severe pain and pulled out the seastone bullet on his shoulder.
The seastone bullet was taken out, and his abilities returned to his body again. However, when Shiji came back to his senses, there was still Wood's figure around him.
He wanted to continue chasing Wood, but Shi Ji's current state was really too bad.
When he escaped from Impel Down City, he was already injured all over his body. The battle with Wood just now had consumed a lot of himself again.
Wood's own strength was not weak, coupled with the seastone bullets that made him feel troublesome, and the navy that might chase him at any time, Shiji finally chose to retreat after some hesitation.
Moreover, Wood's name was also remembered by Shiji. After so many years of sailing the sea, Shiji, the golden lion, suffered a loss at the hands of a kid for the first time.
Wood did run away, because he felt that it was too early for him to become a hard-working lion.
The reason why he was able to be injured just now was because Shi Ji was too confident, and he didn't expect that he had such a thing as a sea tower stone bullet.
The same situation happens again, and it will not be easy for Hailoushi Bullet to succeed again.
Putting aside the fact that Armed Color Haki can withstand this thing, even if Armed Color Haki is not used, for strong men like Shi Ji, the pistol is not much different from a toy.
Wood also saw the situation when Shiji was about to fall into the sea, but he did not choose to pursue the victory.
Because he didn't think that the other party, a big pirate comparable to One Piece, would die from a mere seastone bullet.
After fighting for so long, Russ and his team's ship had already gone far away. Fortunately, Wood knew the course of the ship before, and he also had certain navigation knowledge, so it shouldn't be difficult to find Russ and his companions again.
As for Golden Lion Shiji, this guy is strong, yes, but his navigation knowledge shouldn't be that good, otherwise he wouldn't be eyeing Nami.
But this is not surprising, because most pirates are like this. They are just wild sailors when it comes to navigation. Excellent navigators are not found everywhere.
Through the sun in the sky and the wind direction on the sea, Wood simply identified the direction, and then hurried towards a certain direction with moon steps.
And when Wood found Ruth and the others again, he was stunned when he saw the scene not far away in front of him.
Because there was not just one navy warship appearing in front of him, but two!
One of them was stolen from Impel Down. There is no doubt about it. As for the other one...
When Wood caught a glimpse of a figure on the boat from a distance, he turned around and ran away without thinking.
Unfortunately, just as Wood saw the other person, the man on the boat also saw Wood.
When he discovered that Wood actually turned around and ran away, he jumped off the warship and used the "moon step" to chase Wood.
Needless to say, the second warship that appeared here was naturally Gion, which came from the Navy Headquarters.
Because of Wood's Life Paper, Gion didn't have to take any detours and chased directly in the direction of Wood. He also saw Ruth's warship before meeting Wood.
Although Gion only brought a dozen people, which was about the same number as Russ and others, there was no comparison in terms of combat power.
It would be better to say that when Russ and the others saw Gion's military rank, they basically lost their will to fight.
This is a rear admiral, one of the highest-ranking generals in the navy headquarters. Moreover, Gion looks so young, so he is obviously a ruthless character.
With the unequal fighting power, Ruth and the others were naturally quickly controlled by Gion.
Just when Gion was about to interrogate him about Wood's whereabouts, Wood happened to hit his gun, and the scene just happened.
"Wood, you can't escape, don't forget, I have your life paper in my hand!
If you want to run, just keep running. Anyway, even if you run away today, I will bring my warships to chase you every day. I don't believe you can cross the entire ocean with a moonwalk."
Everyone knows how to use "Moon Step", and when it comes to physical fitness, Wood is better than Gion, so it is impossible for Gion to catch up with Wood.
Seeing the figure in front of him getting further and further away, Gion also threatened with an unwilling expression.
Hearing the threatening words coming from Gion behind him, Wood couldn't help but feel a headache. He had really forgotten about the life paper.
Life paper is a special product of the New World. It is paper made from human fingernails, blood and other partial tissues. It has the function of predicting the good fortune and location of the owner of life paper.
Not only does Gion have Wood’s life paper in his hand, but Wood also has Gion’s life paper in his hand.
When they went to the Holy Land Marie Joa before, the two of them specially made it in the Chambord Islands in order to be able to confirm each other's situation and location at any time.
Wood and Gion have known each other for several years, and Wood is very clear about how persistent the other person is. What Gion just said was definitely not just talk, but the other person will definitely do it!
No pirate wanted to keep a rear admiral thinking about him, so Wood finally stopped escaping.
"Now you can tell me why you defected from the navy. It can't be because you think the salary in the navy is too low!"
Gion looked at Wood in front of him and expressed the biggest reason why he felt that Wood might betray him. However, even Gion himself found this reason ridiculous.
"Well, that's part of the reason, but the bigger reason is that after experiencing the Holy Land MarieJoa incident, I realized the truth clearly."
