Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Blazing Dragon Blast

When Fang Yi carried Yamon on his back and left, although the surrounding naval soldiers made offensive moves, none of them stepped forward.

They had all witnessed Fang Yi's battle with Kizaru just now.

Although Fang Yi was just a child at this time, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.

Carrying his bow and arrow and carrying Yamon on his back, Fang Yi soon joined up with the arriving reinforcements.

"Xiaoyi, are you okay? What's wrong with Yamon?" Jaba, who had come with several crew members, asked with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Yi!"

"Fang Yi!"

Shanks, Bucky and others who were following behind on the deck were quite happy to see Fang Yi.

"Teacher Jaba, Teacher Yamon was injured while saving me. He needs immediate treatment!" Seeing Jaba, Fang Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's go. Over there, the captain is fighting Sengoku, and there's also a Logia user who can use magma. He's quite tricky, but Rayleigh has blocked him. Let's go back to the ship right away!" Jaba nodded and said.

Fang Yi immediately knew that the Logia user who could use magma that Jaba was talking about should be Sakazuki, one of the future Admirals, Akainu.

With Jaba and the others accompanying him, it was much smoother to return to the Oro Jackson. After getting back on the ship and handing Yamon over to the ship's doctor, Fang Yi joined Jaba and the others in the battle again.

Because there were a large number of naval soldiers, there were also quite a few of them on the Oro Jackson, fighting with the crew members.

"Teacher Jaba! Leave this to us. Go and inform the captain and the others!" Fang Yi shouted at Jaba while continuously shooting arrows at the surrounding navy.

"Okay! Be careful yourselves!" Jaba nodded. After hacking down a naval non-coms, he ran straight towards the main naval ship, which was the battlefield where Roger and Sengoku were fighting.

Resisting the urge to go over and "check in" on Sengoku, Fang Yi knew that he really couldn't cause any more trouble now. If it weren't for him, this battle could have been avoided.

"Clang!" Bucky struggled to block a naval soldier's slash. Just when he was about to lose his support, suddenly the force on the opponent's sword blade disappeared.

"Thud!" After the opponent fell to the ground, he saw an arrow in the opponent's back.

"Bucky... Go back to the cabin and help me take care of Teacher Yamon. Leave this to me!" Since Fang Yi was still a child and Bucky often slacked off during normal training, Bucky had already consumed a great deal of his physical strength when rescuing Fang Yi before. So it was urgent to let him go now. There's a chance the crew members on the ship might bite the dust!

"Huff~ Huff~ It's your ask. I'm only doin' this for your sake!" Bucky, gasping for breath, still said stubbornly.

Fang Yi smiled slightly, silently acknowledging what Bucky had said. There was no time to argue with him now. It was more important to deal with the enemies.

On the other side, Roger, who had received the news from Jabba, grinned as he looked at Sengoku with a scowl on his face and said, "Well... since our goal has been achieved, see you next time! Guys... Retreat!"

Following Roger's retreat signal, the members of the Roger Pirates began to retreat towards the Oro Jackson.

"What an interesting newcomer!" Rayleigh looked at Sakazuki, who was gasping for breath in front of him, gave a faint smile, and directly retreated. Sakazuki didn't choose to pursue because he knew that he wouldn't get any advantage even if he did.

However, the navy had no intention of letting the Roger Pirates go. As Roger and the others retreated, the navy's encirclement gradually closed in.

"Brother Yi, there are more and more enemies. We're about to hold on. What should we do?" Shanks came to Fang Yi's side and said anxiously.

"Just wait a little longer... Wanzai and Sambel should be about to succeed over there!" The arrows in Fang Yi's quiver had been emptied several times. Fortunately, he usually prepared a lot of arrows. Otherwise, he would have to fight the enemies hand - to - hand now.

It turned out that after Fang Yi returned to the ship, Jabba had already sent Wanzai and Sambel into the sea to sabotage the naval warships from the seabed and create conditions for their escape. So now Fang Yi and the others had to hold on until Wanzai and the others' operation succeeded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this moment, a series of explosions came from the navy's flagship. It turned out that seeing Roger and the others about to escape, Sengoku finally transformed into the Great Buddha form and began to pursue and attack Roger and the others relentlessly.

"It's the captain's side! There are too many navy soldiers!" Peterum, the sniper wearing goggles, said with a grim face.

There were at least five hundred enemies in this battle, while they were only in their twenties. The gap in the number of people on both sides was too large.

Fang Yi also knew that it definitely wouldn't work to continue like this, but he didn't have a very good solution either.

However, at this time, Fang Yi thought of the lottery ticket he had obtained after defeating Kizaru just now. Then he glanced at today's lottery wheel. After seeing a skill on it, he gritted his teeth and directly used the lottery ticket with a faint blue color and the navy logo on it.

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the skill: Flame Dragon Blast!"

Looking at the system's prompt, Fang Yi was stunned for a moment and then felt great surprise.

Although he didn't know what the specific effect of this skill was yet, just by the name, he knew it was a good ability.

"Flame Dragon Blast (LV.1) 0/100: Summon a flame dragon to carry out a large - scale destructive attack on the target."

After Fang Yi read the introduction of the skill, he couldn't help but gasp. It was actually a large - scale ability. In other words, it was an Area - of - Effect (AOE) move.

And right now, what he needed most was this kind of AOE move. So without hesitation, Fang Yi took out an arrow and aimed it at the naval warship blocking their way behind.

"Flame Dragon Blast!" After using the skill, Fang Yi only felt a surge of power suddenly burning in his body. This power seemed to drain all the strength from his body and directly entered the arrow through his arm.

"Whoosh~~~Roar!"

Fang Yi didn't hold on for long. He felt that his body had reached its limit and had to let go of the arrow in his hand.

The moment the arrow left the bowstring, it flew towards the naval warship.

The fast-flying arrow seemed to catch fire in the air, and the flames took the shape of a long and slender Eastern dragon.

However, it seemed that due to the insufficient energy provided by Fang Yi, the flaming dragon formed by the flames was not very large, only less than ten meters long.

"Boom!"

When the burning arrow wrapped in the flaming dragon hit the deck of the naval warship, the power it erupted was not small at all. The violent explosion directly submerged the warship's deck.

The naval soldiers still on the deck suffered heavy losses. Many of them even jumped into the sea to avoid the explosion.

"Boom, boom, boom~~~"

The chain reaction caused by the violent explosion also made the cannons and shells on the warship explode because of the flames, causing secondary damage to the warship. Moreover, the flames had spread from the deck to the cabin. If the fire couldn't be stopped in time, this warship would be scrapped.

The sudden explosion here caught the navy's attention. Even Roger and his pirate crew, who were retreating, were very surprised. There were people on their ship capable of such destruction, but these people should be with Roger now. Those who stayed on the ship shouldn't be able to make such a destructive attack.

"Damn it, what the heck is going on?" Sengoku, who was chasing Roger and his pirates, asked angrily.

The three warships surrounded the Oro Jackson, ensuring that they could hardly escape. But now that one warship was damaged like this, there would surely be a gap in the encirclement, and the pirate ship on the other side could escape through the gap.

At this time, Fang Yi, who had launched such a powerful attack, had collapsed on the deck. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

"Gulp... Um... Brother Yi... How did you do that?" Shanks, who had watched Fang Yi launch the attack all the way, swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief.

But Fang Yi, who had been drained of all his energy, was so thirsty and dry-mouthed that he didn't have the strength to explain anything to Shanks.

"He's exhausted. You can throw him into the cabin to be with his teacher!" Petrom glanced at Fang Yi and said to Shanks, "I'll go and inform Rowan. When Captain Roger comes back, we'll set sail immediately. We can't waste such a good opportunity!"

"Okay, Mr. Petrom!" Shanks said with a gentle smile after hearing this, and then looked at Fang Yi who seemed to be asleep.

Not long after, Roger and his pirates returned to the Oro Jackson. Looking at the gap that had appeared on one side, Roger asked curiously, "Who did this?"

"It was little Yi. As for how he did it... I don't know. That little guy is completely exhausted now. I asked Shanks to take him to rest!" Petrom said with a smile, recounting what had happened before.

"Hahaha... That's really awesome!" Roger said with a big laugh after hearing this.

"Don't let your guard down yet. The navy hasn't given up!" Rayleigh shook his head, glanced at the pursuing navy, and said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, explosions came from two naval warships simultaneously, and then they stopped right there.

"It seems that Wangzai and Sangbei'er's mission was a success!" Seeing this, Jaba couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Before he went to inform Roger, he had already sent Sangbei'er and Wangzai to damage the bottoms of the naval warships.

"Alright, now that Xiaoyi has been rescued, let's go!" Roger said with a big laugh.

"Damn it... Roger!" On the deck of the naval warship, Sengoku was really furious. He never expected that the Roger Pirates would still manage to escape under such circumstances.

"Porusalino... What's the situation on your end? Why did you let that kid get away?" Looking at the slowly departing Oro Jackson Ship, Sakazuki asked Porusalino beside him.

Porusalino, still looking a bit off - color, smacked his lips with a click and said, "That kid... isn't an ordinary one. By the way, Admiral Sengoku, why didn't you use Seastone Handcuffs on the Devil Fruit user?"

"Devil Fruit user? You mean that kid is a Devil Fruit user?" Sengoku frowned and said.

Porusalino nodded and said, "Yes. His ability is a bit strange. I used my laser to shatter his arrows, but I still felt like I was hit! However, it seems that he can't use his ability all the time... Next time I see him... I'll settle the score with him properly!"

Sengoku nodded thoughtfully. Although he had never heard of such an ability, Devil Fruits in the sea were all kinds of strange. It was not surprising that there were new Devil Fruit abilities that hadn't appeared in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.

So as long as they were more careful next time, there would be no problem.
