Heavy cannon-fire begins to rain down upon the ship like a storm of metal and fire. The main guns of the Flying Dutchman sound off as if a series of fireworks had been ignited in a row. It is unfortunate timing that Luffy had made his attempt to make his way across to the haunted vessel, leaving the ship vulnerable to the barrage of cannon balls. He'd put his trust into the crew, and it would be their next actions that decide the fate of the gifted ship.

More cannons fire on the approaching ship, the larger vessel making a bank to the right so that their port side cannons begin to fire upon their target with impeccable accuracy. Splinters fly as the behemoth-headed boat undertakes the numerous holes from the other ship unloading its bewitched magazine. The hull begins to resemble a wood-stained swiss cheese, perforated and punctured to where it was beginning to take on the sea's endless supply of salt water.
