As the Rocketman train neared the detached train coaches blocking the tracks, Gojo narrowed his eyes and said, "We need to move these detached train coaches away from the tracks, or else this might become a big hindrance and derail the Rocketman."
As soon as Gojo said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Gojo said, "I will destroy these train coaches."
After saying that, Gojo walked to the front railing of the Rocketman once again and prepared to strike. At the same time, Sanji, immediately understanding Gojo's intentions, jumped onto the Rocketman. He was definitely a little confused about why Gojo was also traveling with them, but right now, destroying these train coaches was far more important.
The wind howled past them as the Rocketman continued speeding forward.
Gojo gripped his sword with both hands and raised it above his head. His eyes remained fixed on the detached train coaches ahead as he focused slightly. The distance between the Rocketman and those train coaches kept shrinking rapidly, until they were dangerously close.
Then Gojo finally moved.
With a single perfect horizontal slash, a sharp gleam flashed through the air.
The next moment, the two detached train coaches were cut in half cleanly and perfectly. The halves separated instantly, sliding apart just enough for the Rocketman to pass through the middle. As soon as the Rocketman rushed between them, those detached halves tilted, lost their balance, and crashed into the sea below with loud splashes.
Zoro had also arrived by then and stood beside Gojo, wanting to see Gojo's swordsmanship and how he was going to cut through those train coaches.
And definitely, it was worth watching Gojo slice through those two train coaches with such ease.
Even after Gojo was done dealing with the train coaches, he did not sheath his sword. Instead, he kept looking ahead and said, "There is someone on the track."
As soon as Gojo said this, Zoro looked forward and saw a Marine standing directly on the water track ahead of them. The sea breeze blew against the man's coat as he stood there fearlessly, waiting for the Rocketman to approach.
Sanji also looked at that man and said, "This is the captain of the Marines and is a powerful swordsman."
As soon as Sanji said this, a fighting impulse immediately appeared in Zoro's eyes, and this did not go unnoticed by Gojo.
So Gojo said, "It seems that you want to fight with him. Then I will leave it to you."
After saying this, Gojo casually shook his sword slightly to remove the remaining droplets of water from the blade and then sheathed it back onto his back.
As soon as Zoro saw that Gojo was not interested in fighting this captain-ranked Marine, he immediately got ready to fight. He took out his swords without hesitation and entered his three-sword style stance. His expression became serious as he stood near the front of the Rocketman, waiting for the perfect moment.
Gojo simply walked back inside the train.
Sanji also followed him, leaving Zoro alone to deal with the captain.
From inside the coach, they watched the battle through the window and open sides of the Rocketman. The sound of clashing swords echoed through the air as sparks occasionally flew. The battle did not last too long, and as expected, Zoro was the winner.
He defeated the captain.
After defeating the captain, Zoro returned inside the train.
As soon as Zoro entered the train, Nami immediately asked Sanji what exactly had happened earlier.
Sanji briefly described the entire situation. He told them how he had hidden inside the train, how he had successfully saved Robin, and how he had also detached the train coaches. But then one of the CP9 agents came while walking through the air itself.
Not only that, but when Sanji fought with him, he was defeated, and Robin was taken away once again by that CP9 agent.
After hearing this, honestly, Gojo was not surprised.
He had already fought against two other CP9 agents before, so he knew very well how dangerous they were. Their bodies were slightly stronger than or equal to most of the Straw Hat fighting force members, and that alone already made them troublesome opponents.
But the biggest problem was that they also possessed superior techniques like the Six Powers.
So Sanji being defeated by one of them was not that unpredictable.
After this interlude, the train basically continued moving without much hindrance. Of course, because of the Aqua Laguna, from time to time they were bothered by huge waves crashing against the sides of the Rocketman. The train shook violently every now and then, water splashed across the windows, and cold sea wind rushed through the window.
But generally, it was not enough to seriously harm the train.
And finally, they reached Enies Lobby.
From a distance, they were already able to see the giant fence in the sea surrounding the entire island. Beyond it stood the massive gates and the tall buildings of Enies Lobby, all illuminated under the strange eternal daylight of that place.
As they neared the main gates of Enies Lobby, everyone started discussing a plan.
Finally, a basic plan was made.
The Franky Family and the Galley-La Company people would fight the thousands of Marines outside and distract them. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats and Gojo would head toward the central area of Enies Lobby, save Robin, and kill Spandam, which was Gojo's main goal.
Everyone had just prepared themselves mentally. They were ready to fight and had already steeled their conviction to follow the plan.
Then suddenly, Luffy rushed out of the train.
Without saying anything, he jumped out of the Rocketman and landed directly on the fence. Stretching his body, he launched himself once again and took another huge leap straight toward the gates of Enies Lobby.
For a moment, everyone just stared blankly.
As soon as they saw Luffy doing this, they immediately knew that the plan was completely ruined.
Still, even without Luffy, they decided that they would follow the general plan they had made.
Then Gojo spoke.
"As you can see, Luffy has already left. I am also going."
Gojo looked toward the island ahead. His blindfold fluttered lightly in the sea breeze.
"But don't worry. I can sense two large threats—like literally large threats—for you all. I will deal with them so that you all don't have to fight those giants. With this, you all should be generally safe and able to go through the main gate easily, as long as you don't court death and do something foolish."
Gojo, with his Observation Haki and the terrifying perception of his Six Eyes, was able to tell that there were two giants on the island.
As payment for the lift they had given him until here, he was planning to deal with those two giants himself and leave the Franky Family and the Galley-La Company members free to fight the normal Marines.
And these people were not weak either, so they would definitely be able to deal with the ordinary Marines without suffering too much.
Seeing Gojo also leave and not follow the plan, the Straw Hats, the Franky Family, and the Galley-La Company members could only feel helpless.
Still, Gojo's assurance was a good thing for them.
At least now, they knew that one of the biggest threats waiting for them at the main gate would be dealt with by Gojo himself.
