Chapter 29 - 29 - Will VS Smoker (1)
"It's over... At this distance, we can't shake off the pursuit of the warship with just our ship..."
Nami's face was filled with worry. She had just made up her mind to follow Will to the sea as a pirate, but was this the end of their journey?
It seemed that she still had a long way to go before she could become a truly fearless and strong person.
Only Will, who had anticipated this situation, didn't have a trace of fear on his face; instead, he was vaguely excited.
He seemed to be a restless person in his bones, too!
Will seemed to recognize what he was hiding inside himself at this moment.. When he was on Earth, he had tried to start his own business, but when he realized that the reason his business was booming was because of orders from his dad's business partners who were 'giving' in his dad's honour, Will just handed the business over to his dad and didn't bother with it anymore.
And when he went to start his own business for the second time and said he didn't need his dad's help and didn't need anyone to come up to him in his dad's face, he jumped... And he jumped... badly!
Tens of millions of dollars were lost in the process!
Although his dad helped him get the business back, he lost all confidence in business and has been working as a rice worm ever since.
Not happy?
Anger?
Disappointing his dad...
Will felt like a fire burning in his heart, maybe it's true that he didn't inherit his dad's business acumen, but he's himself, he's Will, he's not his dad!
Since he is alone in the world and has been given infinite possibilities, why not let him stand at the top of the world and live a happy life of freedom to do as he pleases!
After finally understanding what he wanted, Will calmed down instead.
The only thing he had to do now was to defeat Smoker, then enter the Grandline and open a new chapter of his own!
"Nami, you and Koby go first, and I'll hold them off."
"No!"
Nami refused without even thinking about it!
Her eyes were also very determined, she would not abandon Will, otherwise what was the point of insisting on going to sea with him?
"I... I'm not going to run away either..."
Even Koby made his stand with fear, though he was still scared to death.
It seemed that his first time being the captain of this ship was not a failure...
Will laughed, he laughed very happily.
He first knocked Koby on the head, and then gently took Nami into his arms.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of, I'm just going to chisel and sink the warship behind me, and then I'll come back to meet you guys, how could I do something that will get me killed!"
"Aren't you a demon fruit user? How can you sink a warship?" Nami looked at him with a 'you think I'm that gullible' look.
"It's true that I'm a Devil Fruit Ability, but I've never eaten any Devil Fruit, so seawater doesn't work on me." Will was very serious as he spoke.
Nami was a little shaken, in case it was a fake, the worst that could happen was that she would go down and get it for him again.
"Then I'll trust you once, and make sure to come back alive."
"For a little incentive, if I leave safely this time, how about wearing the black one alone for me once?"
Nami couldn't help but blush a little, and gave him a direct glance, what a pervert!
But by some strange coincidence, Nami, who was immediately getting angry, averted her eyes and said "hmm~" in an inaudible voice.
No one is going to stop me this time, damn it!
After receiving the promise, Will felt that his whole body had inexhaustible strength.
Not to mention Smoker!
Sooner or later he's going to be the big guy who eats, sleeps and fights the red dog and blue peasant, in the future!
Will let go of Nami, then took a straw and quietly went into the water.
Nami, who had taken over the helm, continued to flee into the distance as planned, while Will stayed here and waited for the warship to pass through to give it a few hard blows!
With the speed of the warship, it arrived in the waters where Will was ambushed in the blink of an eye.
Will without waiting for them to say anything, directly manifested the Infinity Gauntlet, and then activated the beast form of the honey badger fruit, he was afraid that it was not strong enough to penetrate the thick bottom armour of the warship.
Swish!
The right claw that transformed into an infinite claw easily cut through the bottom armour of the warship, Will kept digging and digging with his claws, and soon a big hole was made!
If it was an ordinary Fish-men, he would have no choice but to use something else since it's not easy to put a hole in this kind of warship brought from the navy, unless it was a strong Fish-men, not referring to the kind of Arlong, but the level of Jinbei.
But Will relied on the sharpness of the 'Infinite Claw Set' and easily did it!
Then he thought about it and moved to a different place attached to the bottom of the warship to continue his work!
In no time at all, he had made a hole the size of a basketball ring!
Just then he suddenly heard panicked voices overhead.
"Oh no! The bottom of the warship is leaking!"
"Someone down there has gouged the ship!"
"Fish-man? Is there a fish-man?"
"This is a warship brought from the naval headquarters, how can it be destroyed by just a few fish-men!"
"Go get some people in the water and check it out!"
"Torpedoes and capture nets get it ready!"
The sound of puffing sounded frequently, and the few navy divers who jumped into the water immediately found Will, who looked like a 'big beaver'.
What the hell kind of sea beast is this? It's too ugly to look at!
The first reaction of several navies was stunned.
Seeing that he was discovered, Will did not hesitate and directly floated to the surface.
However, he didn't reveal himself directly, but with a straw in his mouth, he swam far away in the backstroke way.
But he seemed to have underestimated the intelligence of the Navy, and only a fool wouldn't. notice such an obvious shadow beneath the surface of the sea!
With a grim look on his face, Smoker ordered the men to repair the bottom of the ship, then reoriented the ship and began to open fire at the shadow!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
More than a dozen cannons exploded at the same time in no particular order!
Will's place was blasted with water!
And that's not all, there were dozens of torpedoes with trap nets among them heading straight for him!
Will, who had no choice but to hide in deeper water, felt the frequency of the naval attack and the degree of his oxygen consumption, and with a flash of ruthless colour in his eyes, he actually advanced instead of fleeing and returned to the warship.
Will didn't say a word but used his fastest speed to enlarge the hole he had made until he could get in, and then he immediately entered it.
As long as he delayed the sinking of the entire warship, he would have won completely.
Seeing a sea beast emerging from the bottom of the ship, the navy, after a brief moment of stunned silence, quickly threw down their water basins and rushed towards him.
Will disarmed the ugly state, only to have the pink light, symbolizing the slippery fruit, suddenly light up, and all the navy's attacks slid aside, and some of the unlucky ones were cut down by their own side.
Will also took advantage of this confusion to knock all the navies to the ground.
