The Sea Restaurant Baratie is a giant ship shaped like a carp.
Because of its excellent taste, its reputation is well-known, so Marines, Pirates, rich merchants, and tourists all come to admire it.
In addition, the owner of this Sea Restaurant, "Red-Leg" Zeff, was once a powerful Pirate, and his chefs are all very strong.
So almost no one dares to cause trouble in this restaurant.
On the way to Baratie, Johnny explained to Luffy and the others about this Sea Restaurant.
"Oh?! We're here! That's the Sea Restaurant, Baratie."
After a few days of sailing, Johnny suddenly pointed to a giant carp-shaped ship in the distance and said.
As the merry go gradually approached, everyone slowly saw the full appearance of the ship.
The ship has fish-head shapes at both ends, is three stories high, and the hull is incredibly huge, dozens of times the size of the merry go.
"What a huge ship!"
"It really looks like a fish!"
"The liquor inside should taste good!"
Just as everyone was exclaiming, a Marine warship slowly sailed past the merry go.
"Huh?! Is that... a Marine warship?!"
Everyone leaned over the side of the ship, looking at the warship opposite.
This was the first time any of them had seen a Marine warship, so they were all quite curious.
At the same time, on the warship.
A Marine Captain with a scar on his face, dark clothes, and pink hair looked at the merry go and Luffy with contempt.
"I haven't seen this Pirate flag... Is it a new, unknown minor Pirate?"
After muttering, the Captain said in a frivolous tone.
"Hey! I am Marineford Captain, 'Iron Fist' Fullbody! Which one of you is the Captain? State your name!"
Luffy heard this and stepped forward, but he did not answer Fullbody's question, instead, his expression turned cold and he said.
"Iron Fist? Don't insult that title! The only one worthy of that title is your Marineford Vice Admiral."
"As for you, you're not worthy of knowing our name!"
Fullbody using Garp's title already displeased Luffy, and coupled with the other party's contemptuous tone and attitude, Luffy showed him no courtesy at all.
After speaking, he said to Usopp.
"Usopp, bring that Buggy Bomb from our ship."
This Buggy Bomb was taken from Buggy in Orange Town at the time to prevent the blueprints from being faked. Now that Usopp has mastered and improved the Buggy Bomb technology, there is no need to keep it.
Upon hearing that Luffy wanted to use that Buggy Bomb, Usopp was immediately shocked.
"Luffy, although that Buggy Bomb is a defective product, its power is enough to blow this warship to smithereens. Do you really want to use it now?"
Usopp felt it was a bit wasteful.
But Luffy didn't think so.
He just wanted to blow Fullbody and his warship to smithereens right now.
It's just about feeling good.
"Use it!"
Seeing Luffy so determined, Usopp obeyed and went to move the cannonball.
On Fullbody's side, after hearing Luffy's words, he was instantly enraged.
"Trash Pirate, how dare you insult me and be so arrogant."
"You all go to hell!"
"Open fire, sink them."
Soon, both sides simultaneously aimed their cannons at each other and loaded their cannonballs.
On the warship, a dozen cannons aimed simultaneously, while on the merry go, there was only one cannon.
Seeing this stark contrast, Fullbody immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Trash Pirate, only one cannon?"
"With such strength, do you dare to compare yourselves to me, Marineford Captain, 'Iron Fist' Fullbody?"
"You just wait to be blown to smithereens by my warship!"
...
On the merry go.
Aside from Luffy and Usopp, who knew the power of the Buggy Bomb, everyone else was completely unaware.
Zoro and Uta were not worried at all due to their strength.
But Nami, Joseph, and Johnny were different.
They were all trembling with fear.
"Brother, are we going to die here today?"
"It's okay, Joseph, with Brother Zoro here, he will definitely save us."
Saying this, the two simultaneously hid behind Zoro.
Nami, seeing this, also followed suit and ran to Luffy.
"Wuwu... Luffy, you have to protect me!"
Luffy did not respond, but Uta, due to her good relationship with Nami, comforted her.
After both sides had finished loading their cannonballs, Luffy and Fullbody both stared fiercely at each other, and then...
"Fire! (x2)"
Boom boom boom boom...
The sound of a dozen cannons firing simultaneously exploded, deafening, making people feel scared just by listening.
However, at this moment...
Rumble!
A thunderous roar, comparable to a clap of thunder, suddenly exploded. The immense sound was like the wrath of the Thunder God, making people tremble just by listening.
The people on the merry go also swayed on the deck as if experiencing an earthquake, and a few weaker ones couldn't even stand steadily.
However, when they saw the scene before them, comparable to a laser cannon, everyone's eyes almost popped out, their jaws dropped to the ground, and they were too shocked to utter a single word.
Even Zoro and Usopp, who knew the power of the cannonball, were shocked when they saw it with their own eyes, joining the ranks of the others with their jaws dropped to the ground.
On Fullbody's side, the moment he ordered to fire, he saw an incredibly exaggerated railgun suddenly spray out from the ship opposite.
Following a trajectory, destroying everything.
Its range was even wider than his warship.
Fullbody was stunned.
"This... What the hell is this, a cannon?"
Not only him, but all the Marines on the warship were also dumbfounded.
The power of this cannonball completely exceeded their understanding.
They all stood frozen in place, mouths agape, like they had seen a ghost, only able to emit continuous, terrified "Ah" sounds.
The next second, they had no time to react and were annihilated along with the warship in the cannon fire.
One shot, one second, battle over.
