"Boom!"
Ryu's Subduing Dragon Palm collided with Dragon's technique, creating a massive explosion.
"What's that?" The Straw Hat crew, fleeing from the scene, noticed the commotion behind them.
"Don't worry about it! Luffy, hurry, get on!" Nami, already aboard the ship, could see that a Marine was fighting a mysterious figure. But she didn't care who they were right now. If someone was holding off the Marines for them, all the better.
"Subduing Dragon Palm: Seeing the Dragon in the Sky!" Ryu hadn't given up. The intense clash had caused blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad! Dragon's Claw!" Dragon's hand shifted, forming a claw with only three fingers. He aimed at Ryu's dragon-shaped energy attack and ripped it apart effortlessly.
"Subduing Dragon Palm: The Goose Descends to the Land!" Gritting his teeth, Ryu unleashed his fourth strike, though he was nearly out of energy. Even with the regenerative abilities of the Purple Mist Divine Art, it couldn't keep up with the energy consumption of his Subduing Dragon Palm.
"Dragon Hook Claw!" Ryu saw clearly that Dragon's arm had changed color, likely using Armament Haki.
"Boom!" Dragon's claw made direct contact with the fourth strike. However, Ryu's energy only held for a few seconds before being dispersed by Dragon.
"Ugh!" Ryu spat a mouthful of blood. Smoker attempted to catch him, but the rain interfered with his powers, scattering his smoke, and he could only watch as Ryu was struck by Dragon and fell into the sea.
"Hey, Luffy, isn't that your brother?" Nami's sharp eyes spotted the Marine being knocked into the sea, right in their direction.
"What do we do? Should we help him?" Zoro asked, glancing at Luffy.
"Yes!" Luffy nodded firmly.
Ryu had already shared a brotherhood drink with Ace, and he'd helped them several times—they couldn't just leave him to die.
"But Luffy, the wind and rain are too strong. Even if we jump in, we might not be able to save him. We could end up drowning ourselves!" Usopp said, his voice trembling with fear.
"I'll go instead," Sanji said, kicking off his shoes and loosening his tie. "Luffy's a Devil Fruit user, so he'd be useless in the water."
"Wait, Sanji, Usopp's right. The weather is too rough. Tie a rope around your waist," Nami insisted, stopping him.
"Nami-swan~ I knew you cared about me the most!" Sanji's eyes turned into hearts as he started circling around Nami.
Annoyed, Usopp grabbed a long rope, tying one end around Sanji's waist and handing the other to Zoro.
"Sanji, we're counting on you," Luffy said seriously.
Sanji nodded and dove into the sea.
"Look, what's that?" Usopp suddenly shouted, noticing something.
"It's the lighthouse! The guiding light into the Grand Line!" Nami's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Hmm?" At that moment, Zoro felt tension in the rope. It seemed Sanji had reached the end, but he continued onward. A moment later, the tension eased—Sanji must have untied himself.
"What's going on?" the others crowded around, curious.
"He must've found him," Zoro said calmly, pulling the rope back in.
Sure enough, moments later, Sanji surfaced, with an unconscious Ryu under his arm.
"Sanji, grab hold!" Luffy extended his arm, stretching it towards Sanji.
