72: Chapter 72 Zoro! The Extinct FlameLuffy nodded, as if he understood something: "Oh.that's why."
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on the giant cannon, and his expression changed slightly: "Ah!The fire.it's on fire!"
On the fuse of the gun carriage, a faint flame was spreading dangerously toward the cannon!
Bucky also saw the leaping flames, and his anger reached its peak, his face contorting with murderous intent.
"You need to know when to stop fooling people, little girl!"
He pointed a sharp finger at Nami and roared at his men, "Kill her.spectacularly!"
"Kill her—!"
Several pirates who were nearby immediately turned fierce, grinned maliciously, and raised their machetes, rushing towards Nami like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey!
Seeing the pirates charging towards her, Nami's pupils contracted, and her survival instinct and a desperate, ruthless determination surged into her heart!
She suddenly hurled the long staff in her hand like a javelin, forcing the pirates charging in front to instinctively block and dodge!
Take advantage of this break!
Without hesitation, Nami turned and lunged at the giant cannon!
They lunged at the fuse, which was being licked by flames and was about to ignite the cannon completely!
'No!We absolutely cannot let it explode!' This thought occupied her entire mind!
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Nami closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.
But her hands moved with lightning speed, with a resolute ruthlessness, and with a sudden burst of force—she gripped the burning fuse tightly with her delicate palms!
"Ughh .
A piercing, excruciating pain instantly shot through her palm!Nami couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, her body trembling violently from the agony!
But her seemingly delicate hands were like iron clamps, clenched tightly, without letting go at all!
"Hiss.hiss."
The teeth-grinding sound of flesh being burned was clearly audible!
A pungent smell of burning flesh mixed with the smell of gunpowder filled the air!
Thick gray smoke, carrying an aura of destruction, continuously seeped from between her tightly clenched fingers.
The leaping flames struggled a few times under her bare hands, but finally.went out.
The entire hall fell into an unprecedented, deathly silence.
All the pirates were frozen in place, staring in disbelief at the orange-haired girl who had used her bare hands to extinguish the fuse with her own flesh and blood.
Her body curled slightly from the pain, her hands still gripping the fuse tightly, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and her face as pale as paper.
But those eyes that suddenly opened burned with an almost insane awareness and anger that they had never seen before!
Even Bucky was momentarily stunned by this unexpectedly ruthless and self-destructive act.
The smile on Luffy's face disappeared.He quietly watched Nami's trembling back and her hands that were emitting blue smoke.Deep in his eyes, a light of recognition shone brightly.
"asshole..."
Nami raised her head, tears welling in her eyes from the pain.Her voice was hoarse from the agony, yet filled with unwavering determination.She roared at all the pirates, "I.hate.pirates the most—!"
A tearing pain shot through her palm, but Nami gritted her teeth until she could clearly feel the scorching flame at her fingertips completely extinguished, leaving only a charred remnant and a pungent burnt smell.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Luffy's urgent reminder suddenly rang in her ears:
Watch out behind you—!
Nami was startled and turned around abruptly!
Suddenly, several ferocious pirates, who had appeared out of nowhere, raised their machetes with ferocious expressions and slashed fiercely at her back!
The blade gleamed with a deadly cold light in the dim light!
It's over!Despair gripped Nami in an instant; she had no time to dodge!
However, the expected pain did not occur.
Instead, several deeper and more violent explosions erupted from behind her!
"Bang!Bang!Thud!"
This was followed by several short screams and the sound of a person falling heavily to the ground.
Nami cautiously opened her tightly closed eyes a crack, and slowly turned her head to look, still shaken.
The first thing that catches the eye is several pirates lying on the ground in various contorted positions, completely unconscious.
Among them, an unfamiliar figure stood proudly—green belly curls, three swords at his side, and a striking… short green hair?
"What kind of skill is it for a few people to bully a weak woman?" The man's deep and magnetic voice rang out, filled with undisguised contempt.
"Zoro—!"
Luffy shouted excitedly, "You're too slow!"
Nami turned around completely, staring incredulously at her sudden savior, her mind reeling for a moment: "You.you are?"
Zoro didn't look at Luffy.His sharp gaze first swept over Nami's hands, which were still tightly gripping the fuse and were now trembling slightly and charred.His brows furrowed imperceptibly.
He then looked at her again, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern: "Hey, are you alright?"
Seeing that Nami was just staring blankly at him without answering, Zoro raised his voice slightly, becoming a little impatient: "I'm asking you!Are you hurt?"
"I.I'm fine."
Nami finally snapped out of her shock and relief, stammering as she answered, instinctively hiding her injured hand behind her back.
Luffy chuckled from inside the cage, "Great!Zoro!Well done!I'm amazed you managed to find this place!"
He seemed completely oblivious to the danger he was in, acting as if he were strolling through a zoo, shouting, "Please rescue us!"
Zoro then turned his gaze to Luffy, who was still standing obediently in place with his hands tied behind his back, and couldn't help but crease his forehead.A vein bulged on his forehead, and his tone was full of speechlessness and disdain.
"Hey you.what kind of silly game are you playing now?"
He pointed to the sky, "I thought you were playing with birds in the sky and lost track of time, but now you're here doing bondage play?Can't you have some normal hobbies?"
Luffy twisted his rubber body, trying to squeeze out of the ropes, while still arguing, "I think this is pretty fun!It's all a novel experience!"
At that moment, a commotion and terrified whispers arose among the surrounding pirates: "Zoro.Zoro."
"That's the name he just mentioned, right?"
"That pirate hunter.Roronoa Zoro?"
Nami looked at Zoro in shock again, muttering to herself, "The companion he mentioned.is actually that famous.pirate hunter Zoro?"
What's going on.The pirate hunter.has become a pirate too?
