Chapter 351
"Hey, hey, Luffy, what are you doing?"
Zoro subconsciously felt something was wrong.
"Don't tell me." Nami wanted to escape the cover, but running out would expose her to the enemy's muzzle.
"Don't tell me~." Chopper also felt something was wrong.
Luffy's arms retracted, and Sanji rushed toward them at high speed.
"Get out of the way!"
Sanji didn't say this to Luffy and Zoro, but to Nami.
Looking at the flying Sanji, the three people and one deer behind the cover displayed amazing tacit understanding; they all lifted one foot.
Greeting Sanji wasn't a 'human cushion', but a slipper sole (Luffy), a sandal sole (Nami), a leather boot sole (Zoro), and a deer hoof.
With a bang, Sanji collided with Luffy and the others, his face landing right on Zoro's boot sole. Zoro's mouth curled up.
"You bastard..."
Sanji shook his head, the size 42 shoe print on his face being particularly obvious.
"It suits you very well."
Zoro nodded with satisfaction.
"Huh?" Sanji was puzzled.
"The shoe print on your face."
Sanji was furious, just about to have a contest with Zoro, when he discovered something was wrong.
"Why is everyone hiding here?"
Nami answered Sanji's question with action; she took off her coat and threw it out of the cover.
Bang, the gunshot came, and the coat was directly blasted to pieces. Sanji's pupils shrank.
"Ah~~!"
A scream came from far to near, and a long-nosed man wearing a mask flew straight into the air—it was Usopp.
Usopp had been thrown up by a giant; the giant wanted to help him reach the roof quickly.
At this moment, Usopp's hands were clasped tightly against his chest, wearing a mask, flying straight into the high sky.
Combined with Usopp's long nose and his body stretched straight, from a distance, Usopp looked like a javelin. If there were a target in mid-air, Su Xiao suspected Usopp could be nailed to it.
"Ah!!"
The screaming continued. Su Xiao looked at Usopp in mid-air in surprise and silently raised his muzzle.
Bang!
"Ah!"
The scream turned into a wail. Usopp's leg was hit by a bullet. This shot didn't hit the center, otherwise, Usopp's entire leg would have been broken.
Luffy hurriedly stretched his arms, grabbed Usopp, and pulled him behind the cover. Chopper stepped forward to help Usopp bandage his wound. The Straw Hat Pirates were all present, but they could only hide behind cover.
Bang, bang!
Su Xiao fired two shots at the cover, stone chips splattered, and Nami, who was just about to show her head, hurriedly pulled it back.
"What should we do? We can't get past."
"Look, Luo Bin is on the building opposite."
"Luo Bin~!"
Luffy shouted with a smile on his face. Luo Bin wasn't abandoning them, but wanting to die for them.
Hearing Luffy's shout, various emotions appeared in Luo Bin's eyes: fear, joy, anxiety, worry.
"Who is upstairs?"
Spandam looked at the roof in confusion; he finally heard gunfire on the roof.
"Bai Ye."
Lucci gave the answer.
"What!"
Spandam's expression turned unpleasant; he had been brooding over the Water 7 incident.
"Make him come down for me."
Lucci didn't move. He wasn't on a mission now. Although Spandam was his superior, he would ignore some overly brain-dead orders.
Discovering Lucci was ignoring him, Spandam whispered: "Hey, Lucci, there are so many outsiders, give me some face."
Spandam also knew clearly that without these people from CP9, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in his current position. He had put his heart and soul into cultivating the CP9 members. Now, five of the eight were Devil Fruit users; these Devil Fruits were all fought for by Spandam from the World Government.
Although Spandam's behavior was sometimes slightly retarded, his ability to assess the situation was not bad; he knew what could be done and what couldn't.
"He is a member of the Navy now; we don't have command authority."
Getting Lucci's answer, Spandam was slightly unhappy.
"A Navy member? Then I'll settle the score with him later."
Spandam found a way out for himself and looked toward the Straw Hat Pirates.
Su Xiao had already suppressed all members of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Usopp, the only one with long-range ability, was injured.
But if the Straw Hat Pirates kept hiding behind cover, there was nothing he could do.
Just as Su Xiao was aiming at the Straw Hat Pirates, three sneaky figures were approaching the lift bridge.
"Big brother, we won't be sniped, right?"
"Bullshit, have we ever been afraid of snipers?"
"Hey, big brother, that woman from the Troupe almost wiped us out in the second-to-last derived world. She was a sniper."
"She doesn't count. How is she a sniper? She's basically a turret."
"But..."
"No buts. Rush over, Holy Light protection, what are you afraid of?"
Needless to say, this happy trio was the National Football brothers. The three rushed toward the lift bridge with high spirits. Now CP9 and the Straw Hat Pirates were in a standoff from afar; this was the best time to enter the Judicial Tower.
Behind a building on the main island, the Revolver Man was staring at the National Football trio, intending to use their cover to rush over.
Not only the Revolver Man, but the Crazy Healer had the same idea. His teammates weren't by his side, and he had been sniped by Su Xiao a few times before, so he was full of fire now.
Besides the two, the dozen or so Qiyuezhe who had been traveling with the Straw Hat Pirates were also waiting for an opportunity.
"First, wipe out that sniper. Once approached, he's dead for sure."
"Right, he almost headshot me before. This grudge must be repaid."
These dozen or so Qiyuezhe set their sights on Su Xiao on the roof. In their view, a sniper was trash once approached.
The National Football trio rushed onto the lift bridge. The lift bridge, which should have been raised long ago, was motionless; this was likely the work of some Qiyuezhe.
The three made quite a noise running on the wooden bridge. Su Xiao immediately shifted his muzzle, inwardly thinking that there were still people daring to rush the bridge—courageous indeed.
Bang.
The bullet left the muzzle, stirring up layers of air waves in the air.
Puchi.
Blood sprayed, and the third brother of the National Football team collapsed to the ground. A large hole was blasted in the armor on his chest, but the bullet didn't pierce through his body.
"Third brother, don't panic, big brother will save you."
"Second brother is here too."
Golden light appeared in the hands of the two National Football brothers, and they directly healed the third brother. All three were defensive Paladins, their healing output wasn't low, and their stamina attributes were even higher.
Although the third brother had been hit in the chest, he stood up without changing his expression and continued running forward.
Bang, bang, bang.
Su Xiao fired three shots in a row, this time changing targets. The guy from before had too strong defense; now the one hit was the leader of the National Football team.
"Big brother, hold on!"
The second and third brothers had golden light appear in their hands, and the National Football leader was covered in golden light, his health instantly restored to full.
Although the three were fierce, they all held their heads with both hands to prevent being headshot by Su Xiao.
Bang, bang, bullets poured down crazily. As long as one of the National Football trio fell, the other two would immediately heal that person. The three left trails of blood on the bridge, forcibly enduring the bullets.
Su Xiao on the roof was a bit sluggish. These three guys were really too durable. Ordinary Qiyuezhe would fall after at most two shots, but these three, even after being hit by four or five shots, were still running vigorously.
Su Xiao pulled the trigger, click, out of bullets. This left him speechless; there were such bizarre Qiyuezhe.
Discovering that Su Xiao didn't continue firing, the footsteps of the National Football trio came to an abrupt halt.
The three quickly assumed a human pyramid formation and roared simultaneously.
"We are the National Football team, remember that!"
After saying this, the National Football trio rushed into the Judicial Tower, laughing as they ran. The third brother even spat out blood while laughing.
