The most courageous pirate hunter

Faced with such heavy firepower, King was unable to get close for a while, and there was even some danger. The Navy was well prepared.

sloppy.

"Load the shells."

"Hurry up."

"We must never let the enemy get close to the branch."

"Hit me hard."

Some major generals and colonels commanded their subordinates, wishing they could blast Jin to death with a few cannon shots.

Puffs of smoke rose into the sky from the explosions, making it impossible to see the situation at the very center even with searchlights.

Seeing that Jin was difficult to approach for the time being, Dalmesia frowned slightly, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, dialed the number, and was quickly connected.

"This is Akainu."

"Admiral Sakazuki, this is Dalmesia. The G-26 branch has been attacked by the Beast Pirates. Please come here as soon as possible, just in case."

"Did Kaido personally intervene?"

Sakazuki, who was on his way, spoke words brimming with murderous intent.

"Currently, only King, one of the Three Disasters, is present, but it cannot be ruled out that Kaido of the Beasts and the other Three Disasters and the Flying Six will appear."

Dalmesia did not let his guard down.

Moreover, this is only a temporary measure to stall Jin. Sooner or later, there will be a weakness, and the branch's artillery shells cannot last long.

"Dalmesia, hold them off for an hour at all costs."

"clear."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Dalmesia made two more calls, one to Borsalino, who was also on his way, and the other to Sengoku, who was far away in Marineford.

"Fire Emperor!"

Explosions occurred one after another in the sky.

The entire G-26 branch was like an iron fortress, providing fire coverage from every angle, which annoyed Jin to no end.

One cannon can be ignored, but hundreds or thousands are a different story. Many ants can kill an elephant. They may not be able to kill the Ember right now, but they can hold it off and wear it down.

Once the navy arrives, the ordinary rescue mission will become a difficult one. It's possible that Jhin will be sending people to their deaths with a heavy heart, even if it's just a small gift.

Jhin understands this very well, so he can no longer remain passive.

Using the flames behind his head, Jhin unleashed a barrage of large fireballs, raining down on the branch like a meteor shower. At the same time, he entered his humanoid form, fusing his arms with the wings on his back to create massive pterosaur wings that unleashed incredibly powerful wind blades.

"not good!"

A fireball landed in the crowd by sheer luck, causing a massive explosion that ignited the surrounding shells. The huge storm immediately disrupted the rhythm of the firepower coverage.

A gap has appeared.

"Stop him."

"Fire! Fire!"

A major general shouted and took the lead in drawing his long sword and slashing it from a distance. The other generals also used all means, some firing their guns and others resisting the rocket launchers.

Another wave of firepower was unleashed.

Jhin's steps were interrupted.

"Whoo~"

Many marines breathed a sigh of relief; what they had just witnessed was truly terrifying. Were these the top pirates of the sea? They were able to retaliate even after enduring such a barrage of cannon fire.

"It's coming soon."

Dalmesia stared intently at Jin in the air. The opponent was constantly looking for an opportunity to break through the defense, and was forced back several times. Fortunately, he had the foresight to make the defense impenetrable.

As long as we hold out long enough, it doesn't matter if Jhin breaks through the defenses. He will go up and hold them off. With him there, the enemy won't be able to rescue Quinn and the other two.

Anyway, we don't need to fight desperately, we just need to hold them off.

Jhin was well aware of this, which is why he kept looking for an opportunity.

The original intention of this rescue operation was to catch the navy off guard, but we did not expect the other side to be so well prepared. We can't delay any longer.

Jin's gaze sharpened, the flames behind his head suddenly expanded, and his body was covered in Armament Haki. With a flap of his huge wings, he transformed into a long rainbow of fire, leaving behind long tail feathers that pierced his eardrums, and slammed towards the branch.

"The enemy is about to launch a surprise attack, hold on."

"Boom boom boom!!!"

"Delusion!"

All firepower was concentrated, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air.

next moment.

In that scorching explosion, the embers crashed to the ground.

"Fire Dragon Emperor."

Remaining in his human-beast form, Jhin drew his katana from his waist, his body engulfed in flames. With a single swing, a gigantic fire dragon instantly formed, its intense heat melting the ground.

"Ahhh!"

"help me."

The fire dragon continued to roll and surge, destroying everything in its path. Some ordinary navy personnel didn't even have a chance to struggle, and even lieutenant colonels and colonels were seriously injured immediately.

The defense line was completely breached.

At this moment, underground in a cell, Quinn, Runtie, and Foz were all handcuffed with sea stone. Although they looked weak and listless, their spirits had improved considerably.

To ensure the three wouldn't die along the way, the Navy provided them with some food, unlike Hermes, who was so stingy that he not only didn't give them food or water but also hung them up to be exposed to the wind and rain, and would beat them from time to time as a precaution, showing no fear of them dying.

It turns out that Zoan-type Devil Fruit users are resilient, especially powerful Zoan-type users like Queen.

seriously.

Quinn and his two companions would rather be captured by the Navy than by that beast.

They received none of the preferential treatment due to prisoners of war.

Look how hungry Quinn is, he's lost all his belly fat, and Yoona is as thin as a bamboo pole, her once proud cleavage is now completely flat.

Foz was in an even worse state; his leg was still broken, and his initial arrogance had vanished. Leaning against the wall, it was unclear whether he was contemplating life or questioning it, but he stopped harassing Quinn.

"It's Ash."

"It seems like he's all alone."

The commotion outside was so loud that it could be felt even inside the dungeon.

"That pervert who loves to torture people has finally arrived."

Despite usually being at odds with Jhin, he was undoubtedly a lifeline at this moment. It was no problem for Quinn to temporarily back down; all he wanted to do was tear that beast Jormungandr to pieces once he got out.

I've never hated anyone to this extent, to the point of itching with rage.

"Don't get too excited yet, the navy may provide support."

"I wonder if the governor will come."

Runti's eyes were cold, but Foz's words made the air fall silent.

They have truly lost face this time. Both of them were defeated on their own turf. Regardless of whether they were careless or not, the fact remains that they were captured and sold out. The other one even delivered himself to his death, leaving them with almost no face left.

Six months ago, they were still mocking the Big Mom Pirates, thinking that a dignified Sweet Commander had been captured by a pirate hunter. Now, the outside world is probably talking about the Beasts Pirates.

Their prestige has been greatly diminished. Unless Jormungandr is killed by them, this loss of face will be like a scar that is always in their sight.

"Damn it, I must kill that bastard."

"Let's think about how to face the governor after we get out!"

The three of them were incredibly frustrated.

He then slumped his head, looking dejected.

outside.

Flames raged across the sky, and Jin, like a tiger among sheep, completely breached the naval defenses. However, many lieutenant and colonel-level officers risked their lives to stop him.

Although they are no match for the enemy, they can hold them off for as long as possible.

boom! ! !

A massive collision storm swept through, suppressing and spreading the surrounding flames. Dalmesia finally made its move, still in its human-beast form, its claws covered in Armament Haki as it thrust towards Jin.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by Jin's longsword.

"Dalmesia".

Looking at the spotted dog so close to him, and the other naval officers surrounding him, King's expression turned grim. He could sense that the navy was stalling for time.
