One Piece: Fist of the World-Chapter 55: Law: I Want to Output Too; Gray: I Am the MVP

"This level of bombardment..." Looking at the densely flying shells, Genos's face hardened slightly. There was no way to deal with such a number. Even if he could survive the bombardment, it was hard to say what would happen to Cici.

Rhodes grabbed the Huazhou that he had put back on his waist, and Neru also picked up the black gun.

"Leave it to me!" Law, who hadn't yet been able to inflict effective damage in this battle, stopped Rhodes and Neru. The next moment, a light blue halo spread out.

"ROOM—Cut!" As Law gently waved the Ghost-Cry in his hand, all the attacking shells were cut in half.

Then—

"Tact!" Law raised his finger slightly.

"All the shells have been cut open!" The soldiers on the warship all widened their eyes when they saw the shells instantly sliced in half.

"Devil Fruit User..." Major Kiel looked at Law through his telescope, gritting his teeth. It was precisely because of the endless emergence of pirates like this that the sea here couldn't remain calm. Only by expelling all these pirates, without a single one left, could they bring permanent peace to this ocean. And this was exactly the justice he practiced!

"Everyone, second round of artillery fire!" Calming himself down, Major Kiel gave another order.

The next moment, the warship suddenly shook.

"What's going on?"

"There's no way to calibrate it!"

"Watch out! The shells are rolling over!"

The naval soldiers responsible for loading and firing the shells shouted in panic.

"You must be kidding..."

"This kind of thing..."

"Everyone! Hold on to whatever you have!"

Under the horrified eyes of the soldiers still on the deck, the warship was lifted by an invisible force and paused in mid-air at a 45-degree tilt.

"Stopped?"

"Saved!"

The sailors who reacted relatively quickly and grabbed hold of fixed objects had faces full of relief for escaping the disaster, and their emotions were mixed as they looked at their colleagues who fell into the sea.

The enemy's attack can't be limited to this! Looking at the blue sea below, a trace of fear flashed through Major Kiel's heart. If a warship falls from such a height...

"Everyone! Hold on tight!" Major Kiel let out a loud roar, and then saw the sea getting closer and closer.

Boom!!

The huge warship fell and crashed into the sea, causing a massive wave accompanied by the screams and struggles of the naval soldiers. Amid the surging waves, the Polaris quickly sailed away from the coast.

"Phew—" Law held the side of the boat with one hand, letting out a long breath.

"If you can't do it, don't force yourself, Law," Rhodes teased, noticing the fatigue that couldn't be concealed on Law's face.

"It's just this level, how could it be impossible?" Forcing himself to stand up straight, Law pretended to be indifferent.

"Then, will the warship be handed over to you as well?" On the distant coast, another warship was approaching rapidly. Looking at the warships in the distance, Law's face turned pale. His physical strength had already been exhausted. Both Gray and Rhodes were far away from the Polaris before. Pulling them aboard required expanding the area of the ROOM to a large range, which was a huge drain on his physical strength. Not to mention that he had just managed to take down a warship.

"Don't worry, they can't catch up." Before Law could speak, Gray suddenly interjected.

"Um?" Hearing this, everyone shifted their gaze.

"Hehe~" Facing everyone's gaze, Gray smirked. "They thought I was a scientist and wanted to invite me to join the Navy."

"Wait, you are a scientist," Nia pointed out sharply.

"Yes, I am a scientist." Gray suddenly realized, then continued. "I followed the Navy captain into their core power area and saw the complete blueprint of the warship—"

Gray suddenly stopped talking halfway, the smile on his face gradually faded, and then he beat his chest and stamped his feet. "My warship blueprints! I forgot to bring all those blueprints back!"

"Get to the point, asshole!" Nia's iron fist landed, interrupting Gray's mumbling.

"I'm sorry..." Covering his head, Gray stood up and continued his story. "In short, I improved the transmission equipment of the Navy ship and restored it to its best condition, even with better performance than when it first started."

"I now strongly suspect that you've joined the Navy and are now an undercover agent sent by the Navy to our ship." Nia cracked her fingers, eyeing Gray suspiciously. "I'm telling you why this warship is so fast!"

At the same time, the warship in the distance.

"We are so fast!"

"I remember that when this warship first went to sea, it didn't reach such a fast speed."

"What's going on? The influence of the ocean current?"

"..."

Captain Garland felt that the warship was moving much faster than before, and his eyes lit up again. "Sure enough, Dr. Thomas still has his heart set on the Navy!" Others didn't know the reason, but Captain Garland, who witnessed everything, knew it very well. It was because of the improvements made by Dr. Thomas in the engine room just now that the warship had regained its vitality and now moved faster than when it was new.

Rest assured, Dr. Thomas! Looking at the pirate ship ahead with a firm gaze, Captain Garland felt that the justice he was upholding was shining brightly. I will definitely rescue you!

Inside the power room beneath the warship, Luca looked at the wildly running equipment, his eyes full of shock. He couldn't see it before, but after the warship started moving, he felt even more deeply how powerful Dr. Thomas was. Just a small improvement in the transmission equipment had led to such a huge improvement in overall operating capacity. He was now even more convinced that Dr. Thomas was definitely a great scientist!

Only... I always feel like something isn't quite right. Luca tugged at his clothes. He didn't know when his clothes had become soaked with sweat. The temperature here seemed to be a bit too high...

"Wait! Don't do anything yet!" Hearing the dangerous sound coming from the side, Gray's face changed, and he quickly reached out to stop Nia.

"Generally speaking, what restricts the development of science and technology is not the ingenious design, but the limitation of materials!"

"In many cases, we have very ingenious designs and wild imaginations, but it is very difficult to turn these designs and imaginations into reality. The most difficult part is the materials!"

"Get to the point!" Seeing Nia's unfriendly look, Gray shrank his head and stopped his long speech.

"Simply put, I improved their design, but the existing materials simply could not meet the requirements of a more powerful engine."

"That is to say, if the equipment is running according to my modification, although it can burst out with better performance than before in a short period of time, it will bring a higher load to the equipment."

"And once the load exceeds the limit of the material."

"It will completely collapse!"

With Gray's unintended sabotage of the Marine warship, how do you think the crew of the Polaris will use this to their advantage?
