Emma rushed forward and slashed at Blueno.
Blueno stepped back and dodged smoothly, then countered with a quick strike.
"Finger Pistol."
Emma blocked, but the force behind his attack pushed her backward across the ground.
Blueno attacked again.
"Finger Pistol. Finger Pistol. Finger Pistol!"
Emma ducked the first, blocked the second, and twisted away from the third, breathing hard as sparks flew.
Blueno tapped his earpiece.
"Blueno, what's taking so long? Get back up here!" Spandam shouted.
Blueno frowned. "Tsk."
He opened a door in the air with his Devil Fruit.
"I'll deal with you later," he said before stepping through the portal and vanishing.
Emma sheathed her blades and sprinted across the open courtyard, trying to catch up with Noah.
After a short run, she finally reached him.
"That was quick," Noah said without turning.
"He ran away," Emma said. She pointed at the giant steel door blocking their way. "So… how do we get past this?"
Noah smiled. "Let's try something insane."
He placed his hand on the steel door…
and focused.
Slowly his hand went through the metal.
Emma's eyes widened. "No way… that's insane!"
Noah grabbed her hand and focused again.
Vector Manipulation — Ghost Step.
Both of them stepped forward and phased through the steel door, appearing on the other side of the exterior wall.
Emma touched the door behind them. "How did you even do that…?"
"When two things touch, it's just their atoms pushing each other," Noah said. "If I cancel or change that force, there's no resistance… so I can move through anything."
Emma sighed. "You're getting way too strong."
"So what's next?" she asked.
"Let's keep roaming," Noah said.
Emma nodded. "Sounds like a plan."
MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE…
Gum-Gum Gatling!!
Luffy tore through waves of Marines, fists flying like machine-gun.
Bodies flew and soldiers were sent crashing into walls.
"Out of my way!" Luffy shouted, charging even deeper into Enies Lobby.
MEANWHILE, ON ANOTHER PATH…
Zoro cut down Marines left and right, barely looking at them.
"Move!" he shouted, slicing through a whole squad in one swing.
Nami and Chopper hid behind him.
"Zoro! Don't get lost!" Nami yelled.
"I'm not lost!" Zoro lied confidently.
Sanji kicked a Marine through a wall, cigarette smoke drifting behind him.
"Try not to slow me down, mash head," he said.
"Shut up, curly-brow!"
The whole group pushed forward, fighting their way toward the courthouse.
MARINE HQ – MOMENTS LATER
A group of Marines ran into the office, panicked.
"Sir! Enies Lobby is under attack! The Straw Hats and The Destroyer Noah have broken inside!"
The room went silent.
A stern voice finally spoke.
"Inform CP5 to get ready. I'm sending them to Enies Lobby immediately!"
"Yes sir!"
Back at Enies Lobby...
Noah and Emma moved through the inside halls of the courthouse quietly, slipping past Marines without anyone noticing.
The place was huge, full of long halls and echoing footsteps, but the two of them stayed completely out of sight.
Emma whispered, "It's like a maze in here…"
" I hate mazes," Noah replied.
Meanwhile...
Zoro and the others finally reached the giant steel front door of the courthouse.
Paulie whistled. "How the hell do we get through this thing?"
Zoro stepped forward, cracking his neck.
"Step back."
He unsheathed all three swords.
"Three–Sword Style…"
He dashed forward and slashed downward with incredible force.
SHIIIING!
The steel groaned, then a huge chunk sliced open, creating a small entrance to the side.
"You actually cut steel…" Paulie muttered, shocked.
"Let's move!" Sanji said.
They all rushed inside.
As soon as they entered, a massive shadow appeared above them.
"DODGE!" Sanji shouted.
He grabbed Nami and leaped to the side.
BOOOOM!
The ground cracked where the huge hammer struck.
Nami gasped. "That was close!"
Sanji held her gently. "Are you hurt, Nami-swan?"
"I'm fine… thanks," she said, brushing dust off her clothes.
The dust cleared… revealing a huge man with three heads.
"Court is now in session," the middle head said.
"All intruders… will be punished!"
Zoro grinned. "Perfect. I was getting bored."
Sanji lit a cigarette. "Let's get this over with."
Chopper trembled. "H-He's huge!"
Nami pointed at the exit. "Just take Him down so we can keep going!"
