Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Esdeath, who is looking at the front of the ship with the binocular saw the two warships and feels her blood boiling but, she calms down a bit and decided to greet them with style. She ordered the crews with her watch on her right hand,
"This is Esdeath. Everyone on deck, furl the sails and ready the cannon on the right side. It may gets a little rough, so, ready to hold onto something." (Esdeath)
Everyone on the deck have some questions on their mind about her order but, this is not the time to ask questions. So, they head to carry out her orders. Esdeath again connect her watch to the ship AI and ordered,
"AI, full speed ahead." (Esdeath)
The ship AI immediately comply to Esdath's order and speed up to maximum. The Ship AI controls the nuclear engines and can only be ordered by Esdeath. It is also capable of other things because the AI is created by Embra and it is as intelligent as a human.
Grayfia and Senjumaru who is standing beside Esdeath looks at her with questioning gazes before they remembers the order of 'readying the right side of the cannon' from Esdeath's order. Not a few seconds later, they finds out the reason why Esdeath ordered it and laughs out a little.
"I see, you are going to use the sea floor to the advantage. But, with this speed, will it be okay?" (Grayfia)
"Yes, I think, it will be okay because the sea floor at that area is a little rocky." (Senjumaru)
"Haha. It seems, I have been seen through. So, how do you like my new entry?" (Esdeath)
"*chuckle* Well, one thing for sure, they would be surprised." (Grayfia)
"Hahah. Of course. We need to show some strength, right?" (Esdeath)
"True" (Senjumaru)
There are smiles on all of their face imagining the 'entry' of Esdeath. But, unlike them, the two divine generals, who have just helped furling to sails, look at each other in questioning looks but, as they also do not know, they just shrugged at each other. Everyone on the deck are also feeling a little puzzled but, they are holding onto something as ordered by Esdeath earlier.
And so, the ship Enterprise heads towards the warships in a speed of 70 MPH. When the distance between each other is almost reduced to 800 meter, Esdeath ordered the Ship AI to stop the engine, thus reducing the speed greatly. All the people on the deck are feeling anxious as the ship is still traveling at 40 MPH, heading straight towards the warships.
Meanwhile, the people on the warships are also feeling anxious and their hands are ready to fire the cannon from the order of Garp and Sengoku who are standing at the figurehead of the first warship. Tsuru who is standing on the figurehead of the second warship is also feeling a little anxious as their warships has already stopped their engines and are sailing with the wind. She is believing in her mind that, the target, Esdeath is not foolish enough to slam the warships head on while Garp and Sengoku are ready to destroy the ship if they get closer than 100 meter as they thought, Esdeath is choosing the 'suicide' way.
On the other side, Esdeath who is standing on the deck of the ship ordered the control room when the distance is about 200 meter. The people at control room were flustered a bit but, they dropped the anchor with a pull of the lever.
"Drop left fore anchor. NOW!" (Esdeath)
'10 seconds... 9, 8, 7 , ... , 3, 2, 1' (Esdeath's thought)
*DONG*
A loud sounds comes out form the ship hull and the Enterprise which is heading towards the Navy warships, immediately changes its direction to the left because the left fore anchor of the ship caught between the rocks, thus pulling the ship to the left side with great force. Embra, who is sitting on the throne yell out loud, seeing the sudden direction changing of the ship,
"NANI !! Did you just do a drift? A drift ! With a ship! ! In the middle of the sea!! Crazy." (Embra)
Yes, the ship literally do a 'drift' in the sea and now, its right cannons are facing the warship head on. Esdeath who is holding on to her captain hat, laughs out loud as soon as the ship stopped. All the people on the deck, who are holding onto something near them while crouching down on the floor, are also feeling excitement in their body.
"HAHAHA HAAHA. Isn't this exciting?" (Esdeath)
"Really... I really did not expect this kind of entry." (Grayfia)
"Well, this can be our signature entry, you know." (Senjumaru)
Laughing at the comments of her two sisters, Esdeath ordered the control room to drop the left fore anchor completely. Esdeath, Senjumaru and Grayfia walks towards the right side of the deck to meet Garp and Sengoku who are soaked with sea water, splashed by the ship drifting. Esdeath grins seeing the two legendary duo of marine and glance around, finding the Cp-0 but, they are not in sight.
"Greeting, Gentleman. Garp the fist and Sengoku the Buddha, It is an honor to see the both of you. I am Esdeath, a humble captain of this Sunset pirate crew." (Esdeath)
"Quite an entry, you have there, Esdeath. I applaud your choice to come here yourselves and be arrested. You have committed some grave sins, you know that, right?" (Sengoku)
"Ahaha. Be arrested? I am not interested in such boring thing. I am here to tell you that, you should let go of us freely and not pursue anymore." (Esdeath)
"Stop pursing? You have quite a nerve to say that after killing a marine admiral, you outlaw." (Sengoku)
"*chuckle*" (Three Queens)
The three queens chuckles to Sengoku's word, 'Outlaw'. They are thinking whether Sengoku will still calls them when they knows their identity. Garp and Sengoku looks at each other in confusion but, they do not let their guard down for a bit. The only reason they are not heading straight to Enterprise is because of the auras of six individuals, three queens, two divine generals and Krul.
Of course, they do not know their actual identity but, they knows that, if they head over to their ship, they would not come out unscratched. Moreover, there is a 100 meter distance between them and cannons are aiming straight at the warship. So, if they leave, the cannons would be fired and they would be in trouble. Tsuru is also keeping her distance because of the auras of those six individuals.
After chuckling a bit, Esdeath talks again and this time, she talks to Garp who has been looking at them without letting his guard down.
"Garp the fist. It seems like our husband is quite fond of you. Why not come to our side?" (Esdeath)
"huh?" (Garp)
A jealous thought for the husband of that three woman in front of passed through Sengoku's mind for a bit but, it disappeared as soon as it appeared. His mind focus once again at the words of Esdeath, who continue to speak while Garp is completely taken aback by Esdeath's offer. Tsuru is readying herself to intervene in case Esdeath words begin to sway the minds of marine soldiers who are standing behind them, on both warships.
"You have read today newspaper, right? How is your thought on that?" (Esdeath)
"There is no need to answer to your question, little girl. We have already ban all the personnels on the warship to read that Alba newspaper. Rather, I have burned them all of it as soon as it fell on the deck." (Tsuru)
"Ara my. Quite a waste." (Grayfia)
"A waste, indeed. You should have read it. Who can tell, if you did, you would be thinking the same as Najenda here." (Esdeath)
Saying so, Esdeath gesture at Najenda who is standing behind them. Najenda walks out with embarrassed expression but, her face immediately changed to serious as soon as she see the faces of Garp, Sengoku and Tsuru.
"Greeting, Garp-san, Sengoku-san and Tsuru-san. It is unfortunate that, we are meeting here like this. However, you would understand my feeling if you had read a particle in today Alba newspaper." (Najenda)
"Don't gives excuses for your betrayals, woman. You do not have the right to tell who to read what. You have already become a pirate." (A vice-admiral)
Najenda's words are rebuked by a vice-admiral standing beside Aokiji, who is standing just behind Garp. Najenda was about to say something back but, Senjumaru stops her and says,
"Do not lower you standard to his level. Just ignore the words of a blind person." (Senjumaru)
"NANI! You Woman!!" (The vice-admiral)
"Don't get provoked by them, idiot." (Tsuru)
The vice-admiral shuts up with the words of Tsuru and before Tsuru can say anything, Grayfia asks while tilting her head to the side. But, it is evident that, including her, no one has lower their defense yet.
"Now. Now. Seeing that, Vice-admiral Garp is still undecided to choose a side even though the truth is laid out bare, let's move on to the next topic. How did you find us? You know, I have the information on every devil fruit users in Navy but, there should not be a user who can track us, who are literal ghosts to you marine. So, whose help did you get I wonder? And, I also wonder, are they on the board? The one who help you? " (Grayfia)
Sengoku frowns at Grayfia's words of having intelligence on every DF user of Navy but, before anyone can do anything, three individuals walks out front from the bridge of the ship. The shortest one wears a white bowler hat, a dark purple scarf, a white long coat, and his face looks like it is a white mask but, it was a white make-up as his mouth was moving while he talks.
"Hae... Didn't expect the foolish woman who assault a family of Celestial Dragon to be accompanied by an intelligent woman. Silver-haired woman, you should not stopped your so called 'blue-haired angel' before she can launch an assault to the Celestial Dragon." (The short man)
Grayfia merely scoffed at him but, inside, she is really surprised at the man because his strength seems like it is above Esdeath by a whole level. However, Grayfia do not shows any fear and was about to reply the short man before she was interrupted by a tall man walking on the right side of the short man. The tall man wears a vertically striped red and white hat and a white coat with a frilly rim. His white mask has a light yellow flowery beard, a thin dark blue smile, and white eyes.
"It does not matter anymore does it? Whether you are overconfident or just plain stupid, we can all find out after taking you all back to Mariejois." (The tall man with yellow flowery beard)
"Though, it is not my taste to hit women, it seems like C.D would love to put their hands on all your body. Yep, seeing all of your perfect bodies, I would hate to put scratches on it. So, why not quietly follows us? That would save you a world of pain. Now now, be a good slu-" (The tallest man)
The last man to talk among the three Cp-0 members is the tallest man, also wearing a white long coat. His mask is a dark red angry looking with thick and almost dreadlock-like, flat pure black-colored hair. However, His lustful tones and lascivious gazes stopped as soon as his words ended because the whole sea become silent with the heavy tension in the air.
The tension was caused by a heavy killing intent of all the six most powerful individuals on the ship, Enterprise. Garp, Sengoku and Tsuru are already readying themselves for a battle while the Cp-0 members are simply grinning inside their mind as their plan was success.
