"Can you not speak? Then you are an enemy," Moonlight's eyes were cold, and the Pheasant Sword was drawn, about to slash.
"Wait, old man... I'm a shipwright from the Galley-La Company's Dock One, Kaku. Your companion asked me to come," upon seeing this, Kaku said quickly.
"A shipwright? If that's the case, then you can come up," hearing this, Moonlight nodded and stood up with his sword. Kaku breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he had an inexplicable fear when facing the man in front of him. He also didn't know where the fear came from, and he shook his head immediately, threw this feeling out of his brain, and came to the boat. Soon, he came to a conclusion, shook his head, and looked at Moonlight. "She has reached her limit. She can no longer sail and cannot be repaired."
"What do you mean?" Moonlight's heart tightened.
"As we all know, in the center of a ship, there is a beam that supports the entire hull, called the keel. As long as the keel is intact, other surrounding things can be repaired. But the keel of this ship is already necrotic and cannot be repaired at all, unless it is replaced with a new ship," Kaku shook his head and was very confident in his skills. After speaking, he glanced at Moonlight and went back to report.
"Merry... you can't sail anymore?" Moonlight murmured, looking at the Merry, his heart suddenly filled with a reluctance. Starting from the East China Sea and sailing all the way to the present, only they knew how many storms they had experienced. How much had the Merry accompanied them along the way? For a pirate, a boat was an indispensable part of life. If there was no boat, what was a pirate? How could they set sail to the sea? Suddenly, someone told him that the Merry was no longer good enough. How could he accept it?
"What?" Suddenly, there was a movement in his heart, as if he had noticed something. He suddenly raised his head. He saw a group of gangsters armed with swords and guns coming near the Merry. Seeing the ship, they all sneered. "This is the boat of the Straw Hat crew."
"Yes, it's this ship. Those guys actually have a huge sum of 200 million Berries. Then there must be more treasures on this ship."
"I really can't see it. Such a pirate actually carries such a huge amount of money. The boss has already taken the 200 million Berries to the black market. I really don't know what the old club bought."
"We are all grateful to that long-nosed waste. If it weren't for him to be too rubbish, we wouldn't have had it so easy, hahaha."
The group of people boarded the boat. Then they saw Moonlight. "Huh? There are still people on board?"
"What's wrong with someone? Just like that long nose, it's also a waste."
"Yes, isn't the rubbish companion still rubbish?" they all said with disdain.
"The long nose you are talking about... is it Usopp?" Moonlight's face turned cold. As soon as they had started, he had heard it. The long-nosed one was on this ship again. Who was it if it was not Usopp? Wasn't Usopp with Luffy and the others? Had something happened? Thinking of what Kaku had said just now, he could no longer sit still.
"What should it be called? Usopp? I can't remember the name of trash."
"Boy, if you don't want to suffer, just hand over all the treasures on the boat," seeing this, several people sneered, and one of them geared up and rushed directly.
"Get lost," Moonlight gave a low cry and glanced at them. Suddenly, everyone fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Observation Haki," immediately, Moonlight unfolded his Haki, and the entire city was enveloped. Soon, he locked onto Usopp's position. "Over there." The Moonlight Raptor cut through the air and flew toward Water 7 to move over. Water 7 was worthy of being a water city. Several rivers ran through the entire city. When Moonlight found Usopp, he saw that he had a bruised nose and a swollen face, lying in an alley with serious injuries.
"Usopp!" Moonlight's heart tightened, and he quickly lifted him and walked towards the Merry. The current Usopp was in a very bad state. He had suffered serious injuries everywhere, and the most important thing was that his spirit seemed to have taken a huge blow, and his eyes were sloppy and gray.
"Moonlight, put me down," however, Usopp suddenly grabbed Moonlight's arm and refused his help. "I... I lost the 200 million Berries that Luffy and the others entrusted to me. I'm a... trash. I don't deserve to be on this ship. I don't deserve... to be your partner."
"Trash? What are you trash?" hearing this, Moonlight roared. "Are you bragging more than others, or is your IQ less than others, or is your marksmanship less than others? If a man who is first in bragging, first in IQ, and first in marksmanship is a waste, then isn't it a waste of me who can only swing a sword?"
"But, I lost the 200 million Berries Luffy gave me, and I'm not their opponent, I..." Usopp was stunned, looking at Moonlight with disbelief. In the eyes of a man like Moonlight, was he such a person? Yes, he was the first in the boat to brag. In terms of IQ, if he became cunning, who on the boat was not deceived by him, or was the enemy, so few had died under his deception? Marksmanship, he was natural.
"If you lose your money, you will get it back. If you lose, you will win it back," Moonlight drank. "Those like you who give up on yourself after a little blow are the real waste. Hold on to me." After speaking, Moonlight grabbed Usopp and moved quickly toward the Merry. Although he was not a ship's doctor, he had seen more and still understood some basic common sense. Hearing these words, although Usopp was still decadent, he was obviously better, and his eyes gradually became angry.
The two arrived on the Merry very quickly. After a simple dressing, Moonlight looked at Usopp, hesitated, and told him the true situation of the Merry. "A shipwright came here just now, from Galley-La. He said that the Merry's keel is broken and she can no longer sail. He has gone back to report now. Presumably, Luffy and the others will know. Luffy will definitely make a decision."
"What?" hearing this, Usopp trembled suddenly. "Moonlight, you're lying to me, aren't you? The Merry is not good? Why can't she continue sailing?"
"Can the Merry do it? Of all of us, shouldn't you know the most?" Moonlight sighed.
"What?" Usopp was stunned. Who had a deep understanding of the Merry? He just didn't want to believe this fact.
"Just stay here and stay with the Merry. I'm going to find Robin," Moonlight shook his head, glanced at the Merry, and left resolutely.
"What happened to Robin?" Usopp couldn't help shaking again. What had happened today? Bad news one after another.
"She has a temper and got into a dead end. I will take her home," Moonlight shook his head without explaining too much, but gave Usopp a deep look. "Usopp, today may be the worst day for our Straw Hats. The Merry can't sail anymore, and the money she finally got is lost. Robin has also left us. This is all because we are too weak. If you don't protect the Merry, the money will be lost, and Robin will leave us. So... face your weakness and work hard to improve." After finishing, he went away.
"Moonlight, I... I..." seeing Moonlight drifting away, Usopp trembled a few words, but couldn't speak. Finally, he hugged the Merry and wept bitterly.
As night fell, darkness enveloped the earth. The entire City of Water was plunged into darkness. Many people who had been busy all day had fallen asleep. However, there was such a group of people who specialized in night activities. At this time, Moonlight stood on top of a house, seeing and hearing the domineering unfolding, covering the whole city, overwhelming, searching for Robin's breath. Suddenly he saw many things. The Franky Family, the people who had been stunned by his domineering faint during the day, were talking to a man in swimming trunks. The man in swimming trunks was furious and brought a group of his men, threatening to do something. This should be Franky. But Moonlight ignored it. Even if Franky found the Merry again, what if Usopp encountered him again? He had already done what needed to be done, and some things needed Usopp to step over by himself. Then came other corners of the city, robberies, crimes, fights, etc., constantly happening in the dark part of the city. He still ignored it. The domineering continued to unfold. Finally, in the Galley-La headquarters, in a luxurious palace, two people appeared in front of a man with a beard, purple lips, wearing a shirt, and a white mouse in his shirt pocket. One was wearing a mask and couldn't see his appearance, while the other was Nico Robin. Robin was holding a gun at this time and seemed to be about to shoot the man in front of him.
"I found you, Robin," upon seeing this, Moonlight suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. His body was vertical, and the whole person jumped down from the tall building. Then the Raptors broke through the air, pulled out phantoms out of thin air, and moved quickly over.
"Nico Robin! I didn't expect to see you here," at this moment, the man in front of Robin couldn't help but his expression changed drastically after seeing her. He was the mayor of Water 7, Iceburg.
BOOM! BOOM!
However, Robin didn't say a word and fired a few shots. But it didn't hit the point; it just injured him seriously. Iceburg fell to the ground, and consciousness gradually disappeared. "Let's go," upon seeing this, Robin seemed to have achieved her goal and did not continue to kill, but said lightly to the masked man next to her. The masked man nodded, and the two were about to leave.
However, at this time, a hurricane suddenly shot down from the sky outside. The window of the room was suddenly pierced, and the glass shot all around, hitting like a sharp arrow. Then the whole room, like a hurricane, was shattered and shattered. When everything was calm, a black-clothed boy suddenly appeared in the room under the moonlight. "Robin, so you are here," the boy raised his head and looked at Robin opposite, with joy flashing across his face. It was Moonlight.
"An enemy?" the masked man asked immediately. However, Robin waved his hand and stopped his preparation. After looking at Moonlight with a complicated expression, she raised the gun in Moonlight's stunned expression. Robin actually shot.
"You shot me?" Moonlight shook his whole body and looked at Robin with an incredible face. Although the bullet hit his skin and was immediately bounced away, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"What? A body that can't be shot through by bullets? Is this guy also a Devil Fruit user?" seeing this scene, the masked man said in surprise.
"Get lost," however, Robin ignored him. Instead, he looked at Moonlight coldly. After a word rolled in the night breeze, he had already left. The masked man took a deep look at Moonlight and then left.
"Do you use this shot to show your determination?" looking at Robin leaving, Moonlight was full of bitterness. "Although I know what you mean, I feel very unhappy in my heart." He might understand Robin's heart, but he still could not accept that she had shot him with a gun. He could not accept it even if it was for his own good. "It seems that I, like Usopp, are not such a strong man," Moonlight sighed, feeling somewhat distracted. He glanced at the iceberg that had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness, and shook his head and left.
The next day, Water 7 came to the world with shocking news. Mayor Iceburg had been assassinated yesterday. The assassins were the Straw Hats. Suddenly, the portraits of the Straw Hat crew were posted everywhere in the city, wanted all over the city.
"What's the matter? Why are we wanted?" At this time, on a certain roof of the city, Luffy and the others had just escaped from the chase. However, they were even more surprised that they were wanted by the whole city. What exactly had happened? The people who were still full of enthusiasm yesterday had changed their appearance overnight. When they saw them, they drew their swords. They had become public enemies of the whole people, and everyone called for killing.
"What the hell is going on?" Nami couldn't help being mad. "Robin left without saying a word, then Usopp, uncharacteristically, took the Merry to a duel with Franky and his gang. Moonlight went to find Robin again, but his whereabouts were unknown. And then we were wanted again. What happened to this?" What had happened recently, one after another, left them breathless. In short, after coming to this city, big events had happened constantly.
"No matter what happened," Sanji stood on the roof, smoking a cigarette, squeezing out his cocoons, analyzing everything, and said, "since Moonlight said he was going to find Robin, then Robin doesn't need to worry. Since Usopp wants to solve his own affairs by himself, we don't have to worry about it. Instead, it's us. To be inexplicably regarded as a murderer, the crime must be cleared."
Everyone nodded. Although things had happened one after another, all they could do right now was to clear the charge. "I'll go to Uncle Iceburg to make it clear," Luffy stood up suddenly.
"However, now that the whole city is under martial law, we may not be able to get close," Nami hesitated.
"So what? I only know that we will never recognize things we haven't done," Luffy resolutely said.
"Yes, I don't accept inexplicable dirty water, otherwise I would have asked my sword first," Zoro chuckled.
"Robin will be handed over to Moonlight, and Usopp will also be up to him," Nami nodded, and everyone agreed. "Although he is not reliable, he is still a man at the critical moment. Then it is us. Until the two of them come back, we must not suffer such innocence."
"Okay," upon seeing this, Chopper nodded heavily. Then when night fell, a group of people took advantage of the darkness to take action. At this time, the surroundings of the palace where Iceburg lived, inside and out, had been protected. Now, let alone the Straw Hat group, just a fly, they didn't want to fly in. However, when night fell and everyone was on high alert, a young man in black suddenly walked over. Seeing everyone on alert, a cold and severe shout filled the entire night sky, "Who is slandering the Straw Hats?"
