The rest of the journey on the Rocketman was much calmer, considering the chaos that had just unfolded. The crew had a brief moment to catch their breath as the Sea Train charged forward, cutting through the stormy seas. The relentless rain battered the windows, and the wind howled.

Suddenly, the train jolted, the wheels screeching against the tracks. Everyone braced themselves as the massive form of Yokozuna, the giant frog, appeared on the tracks ahead. The crew recognized him immediately—this was the same frog they had encountered earlier, who had a strange habit of challenging the Sea Train.

Luffy, always quick to act, leaned out the side of the Rocketman and grabbed Yokozuna by the scruff of his neck, hauling the giant amphibian onto the train with surprising ease. The frog thrashed for a moment, its massive limbs flailing, but Luffy held on.

"Knock it off, you stupid frog!" Luffy yelled, shaking Yokozuna slightly. 

"Stop, Yokozuna!" Chimney chimed in. Yokozuna stopped struggling, recognizing the name. The giant frog settled down, its large eyes blinking in understanding. Kokoro, who had been watching from behind, nodded approvingly. "That's right, Yokozuna. We're going to get Franky back."

With Yokozuna now calm, the Rocketman continued its charge forward, cutting through the stormy waves like a blade.

As the train sped along the tracks, Nami spotted two figures ahead in the distance. Squinting through the rain, she saw one man waving frantically while the other stood calmly, his form barely visible in the downpour. It didn't take long for her to recognize them.

"That's Sanji and Usopp?" Nami muttered, pointing ahead.

Luffy, Coby, and Zoro spotted two figures on the sea up ahead. Through the storm, it became clear that it was Sanji and Usopp—no, it wasn't just Usopp. It was Sogeking, the sniper from the Island of Snipers, a legend in his own right. The sight brought a grin to Coby's face.

Without hesitation, Luffy stretched out his arms, grabbing both Sanji and Sogeking. With a powerful pull, he yanked them onto the Rocketman. The train jolted slightly as they landed onboard, water dripping off their soaked clothes. Sogeking adjusted his mask, trying to maintain his composure despite the rough ride, while Sanji flicked his cigarette, lighting it despite the rain.

With Sanji and Sogeking on board, the crew quickly regrouped, gathering around the train's interior to finalize their plans. Coby seized the moment to pull Luffy aside, away from the others, intending to secure his own opportunity.

"Luffy," Coby began, his tone straightforward, "we agreed that this time, the boss is yours, right?"

Luffy's eyes lit up with excitement as he nodded eagerly. "Right, right! I'll kick that Pigeon-guy's ass!"

Coby grinned, sensing the opportunity to keep Luffy focused and out of his way for a while. "Then you must agree to conserve your power for that fight, right?"

Luffy, ever enthusiastic but a bit confused, gave a short, "Um," nodding hesitantly.

Coby pressed on, delivering the final push. "Then wait with the crew and protect them while I clear the way for you to finish the Pigeon-guy. You'll need all your strength for that fight."

Luffy, now fully convinced, nodded profusely. "Right! I'll kick his ass!"

Coby's grin widened. "Right you will."

With Luffy now focused on saving his strength for the final fight, Coby turned his attention to the rest of the crew. Seeing them settled, he moved to the windows, his actions unnoticed. He activated his system, giving a simple command, "Give me Geppo."

The system responded instantly: [Geppo acquired. 14,999 SP deducted. 34,001 SP remaining.]

Without hesitation, Coby leaped through the window, his body launching into the air. He moved swiftly, kicking off the atmosphere with newly acquired skill, propelling himself higher into the sky. Below him, the train churned, the waves crashing against the Rocketman as it charged forward on the tracks. The crew, engrossed in their own preparations, remained unaware of his departure.

Using Geppo, Coby soared above the towering gates of Enies Lobby, descending into the heart of enemy territory. His eyes scanned the vast expanse of the courtyard below, where the endless ranks of the World Government's forces lay in wait. Marines and agents alike were stationed across the area, each one prepared to defend the stronghold at any cost. The moment he landed, their attention snapped to him, weapons at the ready.

Coby wasted no time. His objective was clear: fight his way through and accumulate as much SP as possible. The first wave of enemies charged at him, weapons raised, but Coby was already moving.

"Hiken!" A massive fist of fire burst from Coby's arm, incinerating the front line of marines as they screamed and scattered, their weapons clattering to the ground. The heat of the attack left a charred path in its wake, and Coby pressed forward, his momentum unbroken.

More soldiers converged on him from all sides, attempting to overwhelm him with their numbers. Coby's eyes narrowed, and he activated "Bara Bara Detach Hand!" His hands flew off his wrists, hurtling through the air and smashing into the faces of the approaching marines. The impact knocked them off their feet, and Coby reattached his hands as he continued to advance.

A group of CP6 agents appeared, brandishing their blades at him. Coby met them head-on, sidestepping their initial attacks with ease. One agent lunged at him with a downward strike, but Coby countered with "A Small Breath Nuke." A compressed blast of air shot from his mouth, striking the agent in the chest and sending him crashing into a nearby wall. The impact shattered the stone, leaving a deep crater where the agent had been. But the main course arrived a second later, the nuke exploded on Marine's body, and those around him were also affected by the area of effect attack.

With a burst of speed, Coby surged forward, his legs carrying him swiftly across the courtyard. A squad of marines blocked his way, rifles aimed directly at him. Without slowing down, Coby jumped high into the air with Geppo, kicking off invisible footholds, and descended in a blur. The moment he touched down, he unleashed Super Heavy Stealth Foot Punch. Reducing his weight in an instant, he blurred past the marines before they could react, and as he reached the heart of their formation, he slammed his fist into the ground, shifting his weight to ten thousand kilograms. The earth shattered beneath his fist, sending shockwaves through the ground and launching the marines into the air like ragdolls, their cries of pain lost in the thunderous impact.

He didn't pause. Coby's left hand detached and shot forward, armed with a blazing Gomu Gomu Hiken. The flaming hand spiraled through the air, punching through the ranks like a fiery comet. Soldiers screamed as they were engulfed by the flames, their ranks breaking apart as the searing heat cut through them.

Suddenly, a group of CP6 agents closed in from both sides, their movements swift. One agent lunged with a blade, but Coby dodged with a twist, his body fluid and fast. He countered with Shark Dicer, detaching both hands, each gripping a knife. He launched himself into a spinning dive, his detached hands mimicking a shark's deadly bite. The knives slashed through flesh and bone as Coby tore through the agents, his spin unrelenting until the last body fell.

Coby reattached his hands and leaped back, his eyes scanning for his next target. But the marines were already on him, desperate to overwhelm him with sheer numbers. He could see them charging, and with a grim determination, he formed a plan.

Breathing in deeply, Coby activated Sniper Breath Bomb. He released the explosive breath and used Wind Manipulation to propel it through the air like a guided missile. The marines barely had time to register the incoming threat before it struck the center of their formation. The explosion rocked the courtyard, sending bodies and debris flying in all directions. The heat and force of the blast were overwhelming, leaving nothing but charred ground where the soldiers once stood.

Just as he was catching his breath, the system pinged in the back of his mind.

[SP Earned: 500]

The notification was a brief distraction, but Coby pushed it aside. He had more enemies to take down.

From the corner of his eye, Coby spotted a contingent of heavily armored marines, shields raised as they advanced toward him. These weren't ordinary grunts—they were the elite forces, trained to withstand brutal assaults. But Coby was prepared. 

Looking at the group, Coby smiled coldly. "Perfect time to use my new move," he muttered, eyes locking onto the heavily armored marines advancing toward him.

He took a deep breath, gathering his energy, and began to channel the destructive force of Mr. 5's Breath Bomb, fusing it with the flames of Hiken. As the explosive power built up within him, he used Wind Manipulation to contain and amplify it, forming a deadly cocktail of fire and concussive force.

"Long-Distance Breath Fire Nuke," Coby announced with deadly intent.

With a sharp exhale, Coby released the fiery explosive, sending it hurtling toward the marines. The wind he controlled guided the bomb on top of shielded opponents, weaving through the battlefield before colliding with the heart of the formation. The resulting explosion was catastrophic—a blinding flash followed by an ear-splitting boom. The armored marines were caught in the blast, their shields vaporizing under the intense heat as their bodies were hurled in all directions. The force of the detonation left a smoking crater in the courtyard, with the remnants of the elite squad scattered around it.

[SP Earned: 700]

The system message pinged in Coby's mind, but he ignored it again. He was already moving on to the next wave.
