Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 47 Going to sea
"Wuhu~"

On a large ship on the sea, Osi was running back and forth excitedly along the edge of the deck like a husky returning to its rural hometown for the New Year.

This was her first time to go out to sea by boat. Before, she had only rowed a duck boat on the small lake in the park.

The boundless sea made Osi feel cheerful. Although the sea he saw from Kaido's flame cloud was also spectacular, it was still possible to feel the waves and grandeur of the ocean more clearly from a normal perspective.

"Osi, stop running around like a child. So many people are watching us. How about being more decent?" Oubei, who was standing aside, was leaning calmly against the railing, holding a glass of juice in his hand and quietly admiring the scenery of the sea.

At this time, she had changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing a plain long skirt, but a loose dark blue children's shirt and a pair of black trousers, plus a sleeveless white windbreaker of the same style as the president.

The slightly larger gold-framed sunglasses hanging on the neckline look casual and fashionable.

The sea breeze with a light blue scent blew from behind, causing her hair to dance along with the stand-up collar of her white coat.

The slightly mature clothing matched with her delicate and childish face created a strange beauty in the incongruous look... undoubtedly a movie-quality picture.

"I'm just a child now, why should I be decent... But you, why are you posing over there alone?" Osi also changed into new clothes, a red T-shirt with white shorts, and a long white coat, which made him look neat and tidy.

"I'm savoring this voyage." Ober gently shook the juice in his hand, his posture becoming more and more leisurely.

"Come on, stop pretending. You were obviously more excited than me when you first got on board, but you ran away without noticing, and now you have the nerve to criticize me."

"I was just curious about the structure of the ship at the time. I conducted my investigation with the mindset of a researcher."

"Ha~"

"Hahahaha, alright, alright! Stop bickering." Burfat appeared at the right time and interrupted their daily kissing.

"Take a look at my ship, the Bullfighter. It has more guns than any other naval vessel! Its power is just as great."

Bullfight's ship, the "Bullfight", is one of the only five large ships currently owned by the Beasts Pirates.

The other four ships are Kaido and King's vehicles and two large supply ships, which are commanded by the two combat team captains under Burfat and King.

It has to be said that as a car for cadres, the appearance of the "Bullfighting" is very recognizable.

The prow of the ship is carved with a lifelike bull, whose long horns serve as the ship's ramming horns, seemingly made of metal. The sides of the ship are decorated with fish scales, and the stern is shaped like a mermaid's tail.

In the center of the ship stands a huge mainmast with the sails painted with the distinctive skull pattern of the Beasts Pirates, and there is also a small pirate flag on the watchtower at the top.

"Can you fire a few shots at me then, Uncle Burfat?" Osi's eyes sparkled as he looked at the cannons on the ship.

"You little brat! Do you know how to call my name now? Call it a few more times, and I'll feel comfortable listening to you. Then I'll let you beat me to your heart's content!"

"Really? Uncle!"

"Of course! Bomb, take this girl to the lower level later and teach her how to aim and fire." Burfat pointed at Osi and said to the captain of the artillery team.

"Leave it to me, boss."

"Yeah~Thanks, Uncle Burfat."

"Hahahaha, okay, go ahead." Burfat rubbed Osi's little head and laughed, then thought of Obe.

"By the way, blue-haired brat, do you want to go and fire a few shots too?"

"No, I have no interest in this old-fashioned artillery."

Obe shook her head. To her, antiques like smoothbore cannons really had no appeal. Compared to this, she was more interested in the laser gun she had seen at Sean.

"Really? Then just do as you please." Seeing that the other party was not very interested, Burfat didn't say anything else.

"By the way, where is our destination this time?" asked Ou Bei.

"It's Fenrir Island, not far from here. We need to seize that island and some of its surrounding islands when Kaido and his men attack Beehive Island."

"I see we are not moving very fast. Aren't you in a hurry?" Ober noticed that the ship had unfurled a mainsail.

"That's right, Boss Kaido will first go to the Totland Sea to meet up with Golden Lion and the others, and then they will land on Beehive Island together. This will take about two days.

We only need to reach the vicinity of Fenrir Island within two days. If we arrive too early, we will be vulnerable to enemy attacks.

It will be much easier for us to attack them when their reinforcements have mostly left. You must join us then. This is a rare opportunity, so let the two of you see some blood."

Burfat explained in detail and told Obe that she and Osi would also take action this time, so she asked them to be mentally prepared first.

"Did you see blood?"

Ou Bei lowered his head and looked at his hands. His palms were small and white, without a single flaw.

After all, it was a figurine he had made with his own hands, and then brought to life with the power of the gods, so naturally every part of it was flawless.

"Has this day finally come? It's coming sooner than I thought. I wonder if Ossi can adapt."

During the past few days when eating in the cafeteria, Ouba often heard the pirate group members talking about their previous battles, and they spoke as if they were already accustomed to taking lives.

She listened to all this silently, and imagined herself participating in it.

Ou Bei knew that if she continued to stay in this world, her hands would be stained with blood sooner or later, and she had made up her mind.

Without dwelling on this matter for long, Obe was soon attracted by Osi's shouting.

"Oubaubae! Look, it's a cannonball! It's a real, round cannonball! I've only seen it in cartoons."

Osi, who was childish at heart, had forgotten the quarrel she had just had with Obe, and came to the deck holding a cannonball bigger than her head.

"Uncle Burfat, are these shells solid?"

"Of course not. Solid shells don't have much power. They're filled with gunpowder. They'll explode as soon as they hit the enemy ship."

"Oh? It's not a solid lead bullet?"

Hearing that the structure was different from what he had imagined, Obe became slightly interested. He took the cannonball from Osi's arms and began to study it.

"Hmm~ It's true that only the thin outer layer is metal, and the inside is filled entirely with gunpowder... Does it rely on impact to create the explosion?
But how do we solve the problem of chamber explosion? Or is there some other special structure..."

Ou Bei knocked the cannonball in his arms and began to mutter to himself.

"Uh...what's wrong with that blue-haired kid? Why is he chanting while holding a cannonball?"

"Don't worry about her. She'll talk to herself like this whenever she encounters something she can't figure out. She'll figure it out after a while.

"I'm a little hungry, Uncle Burfat, what are we having for lunch? Stop eating steak all the time, I'm a little tired of it~"

"You little brat, you're lucky to have something to eat at sea, yet you're still picky.

Do you know that even in the member states of the World Government, many citizens can't even afford to eat wild vegetables? Especially after paying the annual "Heavenly Gold"?

"Uh...what is Tianshangjin?"

"It's the protection money those Celestial Dragons collected from the allied nations. Forget it, let's not talk about those disgusting fat pigs. We won't be having sea beast meat for lunch today, let's have fish instead."

"Great! But don't give birth." Ossi asked immediately.

"Okay, I'll have them make fish balls."

"Wuhu~Thank you, Uncle Burfat!"

……

On the other side, the main force of the Beasts Pirates, a fleet consisting of two large ships full of combatants and several small boats, is heading towards the Totland Sea.

This time, except for the two large supply ships following Burfat, which were carrying materials needed for building fortifications, the rest of the ships were almost all filled with combatants and artillery shells.

Kaido did not bring too many supplies, but planned to attack Beehive Island in one go, and then let his men load the treasures onto the ship and leave.

Of course, he would probably enjoy the battle for a while, after all, the opportunity was rare.

But he doesn't need a ship to pick him up. He can just fly back after the battle.

"Bulu Bulu~"

Kaido's Den Den Mushi rang at this moment.

"Mmm~Mmm~Kaidou, are you guys leaving yet?"

The face of the Den Den Mushi in his hand now became full of feminine features, with long eyelashes, purple eye shadow and bright lipstick.

Opposite Den Den Mushi was BIG MOM - Charlotte Linlin.

"Ah, let's go. We'll probably be here in two days. Can't you wait, old woman?"

"You little brat, I've always treated you as my younger brother, be polite to me!" "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Well, don't be so impatient." The anger on Den Den Mushi's face faded, and his tone became calm. "What do you think of this alliance?"

"What do you mean by look at it? Just disband once we capture the island. Then we will all be enemies." Kaido said impatiently.

"You bastard! I'm talking to you seriously.

That bastard Shiki is more powerful than us. If we fight on our own, he'll definitely get the lion's share, and we'll just have to eat soup."

"So what do you mean?"

"Let's join forces, Kaido. Let's snatch the meat from this lion's mouth!"

BIG MOM on the Den Den Mushi side proposed to join forces, but Kaido did not agree immediately.

"You care about the treasures? Your goal should be to return the territories that belong to John in the Totland Sea."

That’s right, like Kaido, BIG MOM’s target is also John’s territory.

In the Totland Sea where she is based, apart from the main island, Cake Island, there are thirty-four other islands scattered around.

Over the years, BIG MOM has been continuously expanding in all directions in an attempt to occupy all 34 islands as her own territory, and then establish a "nation" that accommodates all races.

Although John's power is mainly around Beehive Island, Beehive Island is not far from Totland, so the nine eastern islands of the thirty-four islands in the Totland Sea are actually occupied by John.

The remaining few are also in the hands of people like Silver Axe Wang Zhi.

Big Mom took this opportunity to seize all the islands in one fell swoop, and then began to build her envisioned "World Kingdom".

"Mmmm~Mmmm, I really want those territories, but I also don't want to let go of Rocks' treasure. Isn't the essence of pirates greed?"

Seeing that her main purpose was exposed, BIG MOM didn't care. After all, she was really interested in Rocks' treasure, or to be more precise, she was interested in "some" of Rocks' treasure.

"Well, have you thought it over? Do you want to join forces with me?"

"Greedy old woman! I get it!" Faced with this proposal that was also beneficial to him, Kaido naturally had no reason to disagree.

"But I have to tell you, Lingling! This isn't the same as before. Anyone who dares to plot against me, I'll twist his head off!"

"Mmmm~ Mmm~ Then it's a pleasure to work with you!"

Without paying any attention to Kaido's threat, BIG MOM hung up the Den Den Mushi with a big laugh.

"Mr. Kaido, that woman is so proactive, could she be plotting something?" Jin was already certain that BIG MOM's motives were not pure.

"I don't know. Maybe they're targeting something in Rocks' treasure. But it doesn't matter. Let's just stick to our plan. Hoist the sails and speed up."

……

Two days later, in the waters of Totland.

On the misty sea, more than a dozen ships of the BIG MOM Pirates were already waiting here.

"Mmmm~Mmmm~ Long time no see, Kaido."

Standing on the Big Mom Pirates' flagship, the Queen's Anthem, Charlotte Linlin, who is nearly nine meters tall, greeted Kaido.

Compared to her Rocks days, her figure has changed a bit, probably due to frequent childbirth, but overall she still looks very attractive.

Standing behind BIG MOM are Charlotte family's eldest son Charlotte Perospero and second son Charlotte Katakuri.

Both of them are approaching adulthood and have become important fighting forces in the pirate group.

Especially the second son Katakuri has already achieved cadre-level strength, and he himself is indeed the "minister" who manages an island in the BIG MOM Pirates.

"Oh?! That one over there, could it be..." After greeting Kaido, BIG MOM almost immediately set her sights on King.

Ever since she saw Jhin's distinctive wings at Shiqi's banquet, she had associated them with an almost extinct race.

After going back and carefully collecting all the information about that race, BIG MOM was convinced of Jhin's identity and then fell into ecstasy.

"Hey! Kaido, give me this kid! My Bankoku can't survive without him!"

Big Mom looked at King with fanatical eyes. If she hadn't been concerned about Kaido's presence, she would have probably started to snatch it away by force.

"Do you want me to kill you here, Linlin?" Kaido met the other's gaze and refused without hesitation.

"Well~ You're really not cute at all!"

The heat in Big Mom's eyes dissipated slightly, but she still stared at Jhin.

"Hey! Little boy, if you want to come here someday, I'll always welcome you."

"I will never betray Captain Kaido, so just give up." It was rare for Jin to call Kaido "Captain".

"Tsk..."

"Let's stop chatting here. Where's that Shiqi guy? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Well, maybe soon. After all, our agreed time is at noon, which is still some time away."

But as soon as she finished speaking, BIG MOM looked up at the sky, and Kaido also looked up.

Above the clouds in the sky, dozens of pirate ships were seen breaking through the clouds and heading downwards.

The originally pure white clouds seemed to be torn apart by wild beasts and became fragmented.

At the forefront of this huge fleet is a huge pirate ship with a golden lion carved on the bow. The lion's mouth is wide open, as if it is roaring like a king. The sail is also painted with the eye-catching logo of the Flying Pirates.

This is exactly the vehicle of Shiki the Golden Lion, the flagship of the Sky Pirates!

Although the pirates below had been fighting in the New World for many years and were considered knowledgeable, the scene before them still shocked them deeply.

That is the natural suppression of the sky on the ground.

Dozens of pirate ships flying in the sky were far beyond the range of the cannonballs, and there was an insurmountable gap between the two, just like a beast sitting on the top of a mountain, sizing up its prey below.

"Is this the legendary Flying Pirates?" Some pirates' feet have begun to tremble involuntarily.

"Too, too powerful! A fleet of this size is actually flying in the sky."

"This is Shiki the Golden Lion, one of the most powerful forces in the New World!"

"Then how strong are the Whitebeard Pirates, who are on par with them?!"

Looking at the fleet flying overhead, the pirates couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

"Hahahahaha! Am I not too late?"

Wild laughter sounded from the sky, and then a figure slowly descended.

Carrying two swords, holding a cigar in his mouth, and with a flamboyant blond hair, he is the admiral of the Flying Pirates - Shiki the Golden Lion!

"Hey, Shiki! Lower those boats of yours! I don't like being looked up at!"

Although Big Mom's voice was not domineering, it calmed down some of the pirates below who were originally a little panicked.

"Don't worry, Lingling." The golden lion landed on the sea, and then casually touched the ships parked on the sea. The ships of the BIG MOM Pirates and the Beasts Pirates also floated into the sky.

"Let's just fly over from the sky this time and give John a surprise! Hahahaha!"

"Don't touch my boat, Shiki!" Kaido was obviously dissatisfied with Shiki's domineering behavior.

"Shiki, do you want to start a war now?" Big Mom also had a gloomy expression.

"Don't worry about these little things, let's just go! I can't wait any longer!"

Shiki was clearly unfazed by the two men's fury, continuing to maneuver his fleet upwards. It was more likely that he was deliberately controlling the two men's fleet, aiming to suppress them and seize the initiative.

With a wave of Shi Ji's hand, the fleet consisting of dozens of large and small ships directly broke through to an altitude of ten thousand meters and arrived above the clouds.

In this way, the largest fleet and the strongest pirate alliance in the New World since the death of Rocks sailed from the sky where it was out of reach of vision, straight towards the heartland of the former Rocks Pirates - Beehive Island.

The New World, which has never been peaceful since the God Valley incident, will soon be hit by another huge storm.

At this moment, no one knows what impact this unprecedented pirate war will have on the future pattern of the ocean, but there is no doubt that a new order is about to be born in the new world.

And a terrifying beast that has been dormant for more than a year will officially reveal its greedy fangs to its "predecessors" for the first time.
