[One Piece] Courage to Dream

Chapter [-] A basin of cold water cools the heart

The island in the distance doesn't look special, but for some reason, everyone who looks at it from a distance feels that the island is shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere, depressing and serious.

This atmosphere makes people involuntarily have an ominous premonition.

As Meli approached, the island became more and more clear. Its scale was much larger than imagined. The coastline was winding, the island was criss-crossed by rivers, high mountains and deep valleys, and lush forests.

At this time, there are dozens of ships at anchor in the port facing them, and they are neatly arranged together, looking spectacular and orderly.

"Something seems wrong?" Nami, who was leading the way, looked at the ships in the port, frowning slightly.

"It's too neat..." Sanji pointed out the key point of the problem, "Doesn't ships in general ports dock in such an orderly manner?"

"Wait, they don't seem to be stopping there," Jyoti continued to observe, "Are they... coming towards us?"

"Ah, that's—!" She exclaimed in surprise as the boat approached.

"—It's the navy!!"

Chopper followed with a loud cry.

The picture presented in front of them made everyone feel "thumping" in their hearts.

On the vast sea, a row of criss-cross...

Flags with white background patterns unique to the navy unfolded in the sea breeze and flew high. The uniformed naval ships lined up in a uniform formation, carrying an indescribably powerful pressure coming from the front.

In contrast to them, Luffy's side is just a small sailboat, sailing alone on the ocean, forming a sharp contrast.

In terms of strength, a face-to-face meeting is enough to tell the difference.

"Oh~ it looks amazing!" Lu Fei set up a pergola with his hands, and he still had time to sigh.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Awakened by Luffy's words, Nami said anxiously, the navy is coming very fiercely, and the two wings are still outflanking.If it continues at this speed, Melly will have to rush directly into the encirclement of the navy.

Seeing Nami giving orders, Sanji reacted quickly and rushed into the cabin immediately, slowing down the speed of the ship as much as possible.

"Yada!" But some people quit, even at this moment Luffy is still adhering to his forward-looking style, and prefers to go where the danger is, "Sanji, speed up and go forward!"

There is no reason for Emma to go straight to the dangerous situation, brother, you are too arrogant, can't the navy get into your eyes?

The kids don't want to be rude, they just want to cry.

There was no time for them to cry and discuss whether to slow down or speed up because the Navy had dealt them a head-on blow.

The distance between the two sides was still hundreds of meters away. According to everyone's original knowledge, it was not time to exchange fire, but a black object suddenly flew out from the naval ship in the front.

boom--

Then, the booming sound came over.

The thing fell into the sea next to Merry, splashing a huge wave, and a large piece of seawater poured on Merry, and also wet their clothes.

It's a shell!

Everyone finally came to their senses. The battles they have experienced during this period of time involved very little in terms of thermal weapons, which made their awareness in this area relatively weak.

Immediately afterwards, shells followed one after another, aiming at——

Without exception, they all aimed at Melly!

It was like a basin of cold water was poured on their heads!The navy's attack this time made everyone clearly aware of their shortcomings.
