Meanwhile, the Marines weren't going to wait for the crew to catch up with the bizarre events unfolding. Another wave charged toward the bridge, their rifles raised, swords drawn, and Devil Fruit users ready to attack.

Coby stepped forward again, fists clenched. "We'll handle these guys. Get Luffy to safety!" he shouted, eyeing the oncoming threat.

Zoro, already tired of waiting, unsheathed his swords again. "Don't take all. Leave some for me too." Without missing a beat, he dashed toward the Marines, his blades flashing in the sunlight.

Franky joined him, throwing a powerful punch that sent a Marine flying back into a group of his comrades. "Franky Strong Hammer!" The sound of metal crunching against bone echoed across the battlefield as Franky plowed through the advancing forces.

Sanji, still being carried by Kokoro, groaned as he slowly came to. His eyes fluttered open, and the first thing he saw was Kokoro's face looming above him. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks, and he immediately started foaming at the mouth again. "N-No way... It was a dream... just a nightmare..." he muttered deliriously.

"Quit yer whining already!" Franky called out as he smashed another Marine into the ground. "You can have a heart attack later—there's a fight going on!"

Coby leaped into action, dodging between Marines using Geppo. A Marine wielding a spiked club rushed at him, but Coby ducked under the swing and delivered a Super Heavy Sniper Pistol to the man's gut, sending him flying off the bridge.

Nearby, Chimney and Gonbe watched in awe as the crew fought back against the overwhelming Marine forces. "They're so cool!" Chimney cheered, clapping her hands excitedly.

Across the battlefield, Franky activated his Weapons Left and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the approaching Marines, forcing them to take cover. The sound of gunfire filled the air as Franky's built-in weapons system mowed down the enemy forces.

Zoro, now locked in combat with several Marines at once, grinned as he prepared his next attack. "Let's finish this," he muttered, gripping his swords tightly. He spun in place, his blades flashing in a deadly arc. "Santoryu: Tatsumaki!"

A powerful whirlwind erupted from Zoro's swords, sending Marines flying in all directions. The bridge shook as the sheer force of the attack tore through the ranks, scattering the enemies like leaves in the wind.

Nami looked around in a panic, her eyes darting from one corner of the battlefield to the other. "We need a ship to get out of here!" she yelled, dodging a Marine's sword strike.

Zoro sliced through a group of Marines with a swift motion of his swords, his gaze shifting toward the sea. "The ship we just stole was destroyed in the Buster Call. We're stuck," he said grimly, his words echoing the crew's worst fear.

"Damn it!" Sanji spat, kicking a Marine into the ocean as more and more enemies swarmed onto the bridge. "What are we supposed to do now?!"

Amid the chaos, Franky used his Weapons Left to blast through a line of Marines. Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe huddled near the back of the crew, watching in stunned silence as the chaos unfolded.

The ground shook beneath them as another cannonball from the Buster Call smashed into the side of the bridge, sending debris flying through the air. The crew was running out of time, surrounded on all sides by both Marines and the relentless destruction of the warships.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice echoed across the battlefield, cutting through the noise of the explosions and the clash of steel. Everyone froze.

"Is that…?" Nami whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief.

The crew turned toward the sea, eyes scanning the water in confusion. Then, they saw it.

Zoro's brow furrowed as he stared at the distant figure. "How… is this possible?"

Even Luffy, barely conscious and draped over Sogeking's shoulder, forced himself to look up. His tired eyes widened at the sight. "Merry?"

Sogeking was openly weeping, tears streaming down his face as he pointed toward the sea. "Merry! You came back!" he sobbed, overwhelmed by emotion.

Chopper was crying too, his tiny body shaking with sobs. "Merry… how?"

The rest of the crew walked toward the edge of the bridge, their eyes locked on the small ship that had somehow made its way to Enies Lobby. There, bobbing in the water like a beacon of hope, was the Going Merry. Its small frame seemed impossibly tiny against the backdrop of the giant warships surrounding the island, but it was there, floating bravely amidst the chaos.

"Jump into the ocean!" Chopper and Sogeking chanted together, their voices filled with urgency and excitement.

Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe looked just as shocked as the rest of the crew, but there wasn't any time for questions. Without hesitation, they all jumped off the bridge, diving toward the sea below. Franky was the only one reluctant. His gang was still on the island when an announcement was heard throughout the island, "Aniki, we are okay. We stole the sea train and escaped. Don't worry about us. Galley-La bastards are also with us." Franky cried, "Aohhh! You morons made it!" And jumped too. 

The crew plunged into the water, swimming toward the Merry as cannonballs exploded around them. The warships continued their relentless assault, but the crew was focused on one thing—getting to their ship.

As they neared the Merry, they heard its voice again, soft but clear over the sound of the battle. "I came to take you home."

Sogeking sobbed harder, his heart breaking at the sound of their beloved ship's voice. "Merry! We're coming!"

The crew reached the ship and climbed aboard, dripping wet and gasping for air, but alive. They all gathered on the deck, staring in awe at the ship that had somehow, against all odds, returned to them.

Nami knelt down, placing a hand on the railing. "Thank you, Merry," she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude.

The Marines on the warships quickly realized that the Straw Hat Pirates were making their escape and turned their cannons toward the Merry. "Fire!" one of the Marine Vice-Admirals yelled, and the cannons roared to life.

Explosions rocked the sea as cannonballs rained down around the Merry, but the crew didn't waver. Franky grabbed the helm, he steered the ship away from the island. "We're getting out of here!"

Nami quickly took her position, directing the sails to catch the wind. "We need to move fast!" she shouted, her eyes darting between the incoming cannon fire and the surrounding warships.

Coby shouted above the noise, "Franky, wind!" At the same time, he focused, using Wind Manipulation to create a powerful gust that filled the Merry's sails. Franky, standing by the helm, grinned wide. "Got it!" he called back, bracing himself.

"Coup de Vent!" Franky roared, firing a massive blast of compressed air from his arms. The Merry surged forward, its sails billowing as the combined force of the wind manipulation and Franky's Coup de Vent launched the ship into the air. For a moment, the ship lifted off the surface of the water, soaring far beyond the reach of the warships' cannon fire.

The crew clung to the ship, their hair whipping in the wind as they shot through the air. Explosions rocked the sea behind them, but the Merry was too fast now, flying clear of the blast zone as cannonballs crashed into the water below.

"Whoooaaa!" Sogeking yelled, gripping the ship's railing as they sped away. Chopper's eyes were wide as he clung to Nami's leg, trembling, though whether it was from fear or excitement was hard to tell.

"We're out of range!" Nami shouted, barely able to hear herself over the roar of the wind. She glanced behind, watching as the warships grew smaller and smaller in the distance. They couldn't follow the Merry—not with that kind of speed.

Luffy managed a grin from where he was slumped on the deck. "We did it…" he mumbled, his voice hoarse but full of relief.

The crew's tension finally broke. "We won!" Sogeking cried out, throwing his arms in the air as the rest of the crew burst into laughter and cheers. Franky flexed his arms, laughing loudly. "That's was SUPER EPIC!" he shouted.

Zoro sat back, leaning against the mast with his arms crossed, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Tch, we are not in clear yet."

Chopper jumped up and down, his hooves thudding against the wooden deck. "Merry's flying!" he exclaimed, his face beaming with joy. Even Robin couldn't help but smile, her eyes soft as she watched her crewmates celebrate.
