Chapter 148: Unable to Bear It Any Longer, Teach the Navy a Lesson
Rey looked at Luffy who was showing off to him by patting his chest. Rey knew. Luffy really liked fighting, so he also wanted to participate in this battle.
However, Rey could not hand over this battle to Luffy because of the task issued by the system, so Rey said:
"Captain, you just stay on the Golden Merry. I can solve this battle satisfactorily. It's okay. You are the leader of the Straw Dog Pirates. You have to protect the safety of the crew. You are here too. What if the navy fires at our ship? What should we do?"
Luffy's excited heart calmed down when he heard Rey's explanation. He changed his mind and thought that although he liked fighting very much, if he couldn't even take care of his own crew, then he was incompetent as the leader of the pirate group.
So, the clever Luffy once again showed his brilliant smile, with a row of white teeth, and then said:
"Okay, Ray, I'll listen to you, you fight well, and the safety of the Golden Merry will be left to me."
Rey was very moved when he saw Luffy cooperate with his words, although his actions were mixed with a lot of personal ideas, and he was probably a little embarrassed.
But Ray quickly adjusted his mood to fight his enemies well.
At this time, a minute had passed, and the lightning covering the surface of the Golden Merry's hull finally dissipated a lot.
The navy finally saw clearly what was emitting the strong light, and this scene made them exclaim, which was beyond their cognitive scope.
Using uncontrollable lightning as a firewall, this is something that only that madman can do. For a moment, all the navy were surprised to forget that they were still holding guns in their hands, and the artillery forgot that they were still driving cannons in their hands.
Although this scene was incredible, as the commander of the navy, he still tried to adjust his thoughts from the shock, and then said to himself:
"Why does this look so much like the moves of God Enel? Could it be that Enel launched an attack on the navy? It shouldn't be. Enel is fine in Sky Island. Why would he go against our navy if he has nothing to do?"
The navy captain was not sure whether the person who launched such a lightning move was Enel himself, because he really couldn't think of a second person who could eat the thunder fruit like Enel and possess unparalleled powerful electricity.
This is abnormal. The navy colonel did not dare to give orders easily. The strength of a person like Enel could not be stopped by the strength of their defense line.
Rei didn't know about these ideas of the navy. If Rei knew this, he would not mind borrowing Enel's reputation once.
In this way, he could save a lot of effort and leave the navy easily. After all, Rei was unwilling to kill so many people at once.
Just when Rei appeared in the sight of the navy driving the Thunder Dragon, several searchlights shone on Rei in an instant. At this moment, all the navy also saw Rei's appearance clearly.
When the navy captain saw that the person coming was not Enelu, his tense heart was relieved, so he issued a military order to all the navy without hesitation.
"Open fire, kill them."
Rei was also a little angry at the navy's actions. They launched a fierce artillery attack on him without any reason. Is this really good?
What if there are prisoners on the ship? This group of navy is simply crazy. Thinking of this, Rei can't care about anything else.
So Rei controlled the Thunder Dragon and let out a loud roar. At the same time, lightning burst out from Rei's body. Countless thick purple lightning used all the surrounding conductors as the medium for transmission.
In a very short time, the terrible lightning on Rei's body was woven like a spider web.
At the same time, a large number of artillery attacks followed. Ray's dense mesh lightning successfully blocked most of the cannon attacks, and then exploded directly in the air.
After the explosion, the lightning net that should have been broken was quickly reconnected. Such operations benefited from Ray's powerful power reserve as a strong backup.
Countless small-caliber bullets were naturally unstoppable. Fortunately, Ray had condensed the protective shield in advance, which prevented the remaining ammunition from causing substantial damage to the Golden Merry.
This was only the first wave of attacks by the navy. As guns equipped with continuous firing functions, the guns in the hands of the navy did not mean to stop attacking, and countless bullets continued to hit Ray.
Coupled with the continuous cannon attacks, Ray's lightning net could not resist, which also caused a large number of bullets and cannon attacks to hit the protective shield of the Golden Merry.
Fortunately, Ray let Luffy stay on the ship. At this moment, Luffy was not idle. When he observed that the protective shield outside the Golden Merry was about to fail, Luffy decisively enlarged his body.
Make yourself like a big ball to block the bullets that pass through the protective shield.
As the only home for everyone on the sea, the Golden Merry, Zoro, Chopper, Sorop, Nami, Robin, Sanji and others are also busy.
Everyone knows that their ship is now under crazy attack by the navy, and everyone is worried about Rei's safety. Now Rei has signs of not being able to hold on, as a member of the big group.
Everyone now uses their own special skills to help Rei and Luffy protect the Golden Merry.
On the other side, Ray watched the navy attack becoming more and more intense, and his anger grew. He had not shown hostility to the navy, but only carried out legitimate defense.
The navy launched a strong offensive against him without saying anything, which made Ray, who originally did not want to fight the navy, suddenly change his mind.
So Ray said to the crew:
"This group of navy is too much. We have no intention of fighting, but they launched such a fierce attack on us. I originally wanted to talk to them and both sides would take a step back. Now, I don’t think so. You protect the ship. I will launch an attack now."
Nami was the most angry. Nami had the strongest feelings for the Golden Merry. She could not tolerate anyone attacking the Golden Merry. So while blocking the bullets, Nami said to Ray:
"Ray, you go and fight. I am so angry now. Beat them all. This group of navy is becoming more and more unreasonable. We did nothing, but they killed us."
The other people on the ship had similar ideas, so everyone decided to let Ray take action to teach the navy a lesson.
