Raynor immediately grabbed the cages on both sides and twisted them until they broke. Seeing this.
A look of panic appeared in Tina's eyes. Her Cage-Cage Fruit was made of a material just as strong as Seastone.
She never expected Raynor to break it with a single twist. How much strength would that take?
However, Tina then looked at Raynor's hands and saw that they were covered in a layer of black gas.
If she guessed correctly, this should be Armament Haki.
No wonder her incredibly tough cages were so easily twisted and broken by this guy.
But the most terrifying part was, why was Raynor using Armament Haki?
While Armament Haki is common in the New World, very few can strengthen it to the point of twisting her cages.
Thinking about how she hadn't even awakened one type of Haki yet.
Tina felt angry and immediately started piling up cages frenziedly.
Cages rained down from the sky, but without exception, Raynor twisted and broke every one of them.
A look of anger appeared in Tina's eyes, and she swung her whip again.
The Marines cried out in distress, scattering everywhere.
Tina whipped frantically, and soon, only the last three of the original seven warships remained.
Seeing this, Tina finally stopped. If she destroyed all the warships.
She would have nowhere to stand. She was a Devil Fruit user; if she fell into the sea, she would be at anyone's mercy.
Tina clenched her fists in anger and then looked at Raynor, saying:
"Damn it, now you've really angered Tina. Are you ready to die?"
Hearing this, Raynor spoke directly:
"I'm just here to get our ship back. Why all the fuss?"
At this, Tina couldn't hold back anymore. Her entire body began to twist and change, transforming into the shape of a cage.
She then chased after Raynor, trying to trap him inside her body.
However, Raynor wasn't interested in playing these fancy games. He found an opening.
And directly unleashed Conqueror's Haki.
Lightning bolts of Conqueror's Haki instantly pierced Tina.
Tina exhaled a puff of white smoke and actually fainted.
Seeing this, the Marines on the other warships looked on in horror.
"Commander Tina has been attacked! Everyone, hurry and support her!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of Marines quickly set up ladders and swarmed towards Raynor's warship.
Seeing Raynor, they immediately opened fire without a word.
Bullets flew everywhere, and the warship was almost riddled with holes.
But under Raynor's Observation Haki, their bullets couldn't hit him at all.
Raynor didn't want to waste too much time with these cannon fodder. He flashed forward and used Moonwalk to leap into the sky.
Looking at the Going Merry locked in by over a dozen steel bars, Raynor silently thought:
"System, extract the Zanpakuto!"
As soon as he spoke, a samurai sword, narrow in the front and wide in the back, appeared in Raynor's hand.
The surrounding temperature instantly rose, and a wisp of flame quickly condensed towards the Zanpakuto.
Raynor raised the Zanpakuto, and waves of heat emanated from all sides.
Then Raynor slashed forward with the Zanpakuto. Without using much force, a scorching flame slash shot out.
The steel bars that were originally locking the Going Merry instantly melted.
The next second, the Going Merry, freed from its restraints, was directly swept away by the waves.
Seeing this, Raynor frowned. The Going Merry's sails were now furled, and it wasn't anchored.
Once it broke free from the Marines' warships, it would definitely be swept away by the currents.
If no one controlled its direction, it might crash into the shore, and then the Going Merry would be lost.
At this moment, Luffy and the others had already arrived. Seeing the Going Merry thrashing about in the water, their eyes widened.
Usopp wanted to jump into the water and get on the ship to control its direction.
But looking at the surging currents, his legs trembled in fear.
At this moment, Luffy was seen extending his arm and grabbing the railing of the Going Merry.
Just as he was about to use the elasticity to get on, the Going Merry made a sudden ninety-degree turn, flinging Luffy into the sea.
Seeing this, the Straw Hats' eyes almost popped out, and they yelled:
"You idiot!"
With that, Zoro jumped into the water and pulled Luffy out.
Luffy, having recovered, spat out water and then said angrily:
"Damn it, give Merry back!"
Saying that, Luffy extended his arm again, quickly hooking it onto the mast. Then, with his other hand, he grabbed Zoro and retracted his arm, flying back.
Seeing this, Zoro's eyeballs almost flew out.
Luffy successfully boarded the ship, but when he looked back for Zoro, he was nowhere to be found.
A moment later, Zoro painfully climbed out of the water.
He glared at Luffy through gritted teeth.
If he had known Luffy would repay kindness with ingratitude, he wouldn't have saved him.
Zoro sighed helplessly, took off his clothes, and hung them on the mast to dry.
At this time, Raynor also landed on the deck.
He quickly adjusted the rudder and docked the Going Merry by the shore.
He then brought Nami and the others aboard.
Back on the Going Merry, Nami and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Chopper and Usopp slumped onto the deck.
"Thank goodness, I thought the Going Merry was lost."
"Yeah, I thought we were going to die."
At this moment, Sanji lit a cigarette and took a drag.
"We can't stay here long. Miss Vivi should be arriving soon, and the Marines won't let us off easily."
As soon as Sanji finished speaking, more than ten cannonballs were fired in unison towards their direction.
Seeing this, Usopp's eyes widened, and he panicked again.
"Oh no, the Marines are attacking!"
Hearing this, the Straw Hats started to scramble.
Luffy was also shocked at the sight and quickly used his stomach to bounce all the cannonballs back.
Then, Luffy landed, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly:
"Lads, set sail!"
As soon as he spoke, the Straw Hats eagerly responded.
Sanji immediately raised the sails.
Raynor took the helm, and the Going Merry soon set sail.
But the Marines behind them weren't about to give up.
Tina stood at the bow of the ship, holding a whip, and swung it directly towards the Going Merry.
As the whip extended, it began to grow.
Seeing this, a look of seriousness appeared in Raynor's eyes. If Tina's whip managed to ensnare the Going Merry.
The double-sided pulling force would surely tear the Going Merry apart.
With this thought, Raynor directly extended a hand and grabbed Tina's whip.
