One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Roy was awakened by urgent knocking on the door.

He opened his eyes, and before he could react, the door was pushed open. A genetically engineered soldier rushed in, his face deathly pale.

"Captain! The Sun Pirates are under attack! Aladdin has sent a distress signal!"

Roy's pupils suddenly contracted.

He grabbed the Den Den Mushi and pressed the answer button.

From that direction came chaotic shouts of killing, explosions, and Aladdin's rapid breathing—

"Captain! We're surrounded! At least fifty ships! They've gone mad! They're all coming for us!"

Roy took a deep breath, his voice unusually calm: "Where's Tiger?"

"Tiger is covering the rear! He...he told me to lead everyone to retreat first!"

"Hold on. Reinforcements are on their way."

Roy hung up the phone and strode out of the room.

Barrett had already rushed out of the corridor, his muscles tense and his eyes burning with rage.

"Roy! Holy crap! Get some men and clear the area!"

Immediately after, Tesoro rushed out of the room, his body crackling with lightning: "Boss! The Ark Maxim is ready! We can set off anytime!"

Yamato charged forward, spiked his club, shouting, "I'm going too!"

Savi, Enel, Pea, and others flocked to the scene, their emotions running high.

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and Kaido strode in, followed by King, Queen, Jack, and others.

"Hehehehe! I'm going too! I was just looking for a fight!"

He grinned, his eyes gleaming with madness: "Roy, show your men what real power is!"

Quinn chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let's go crush those bastards!"

Jack said in a deep voice, "Let me lead the charge!"

The meeting room was in chaos, with shouts of volunteers rising and falling.

Roy raised his hand, about to speak—

"Everyone, calm down."

A calm voice came from behind the crowd.

The Red Earl, leaning on his cane, slowly walked to the front of the crowd. He tapped the ground lightly, making a "thud" sound.

The sound wasn't loud, but it silenced everyone.

Count Red looked at Roy, then at everyone else, and slowly began to speak.

"Now is not the time for a large-scale mobilization."

Barrett frowned. "What do you mean? Tiger and the others are getting beaten up, and we're just going to stand by and watch?"

Red Earl shook his head: "Pure gold hasn't appeared yet. If we send out all our forces now, what will the World Government and the Navy do?"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"They will directly attack Beehive Island."

"Research facilities, bloodline transplant equipment, the lives of countless soldiers... could all be destroyed in an instant."

"Only when pure gold appears in the world will all the major powers focus their attention on it."

"Only then will Beehive Island be truly safe."

Everyone fell silent.

The Red Earl's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's head.

Roy closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He knew the Red Earl was right.

But Tiger's side...

He opened his eyes, which had regained their calm.

"Tesoro, Ashes."

The two immediately stepped forward.

"You two go. Make sure the fishmen are safe, but don't linger. After rescuing them, continue searching for the lanternfish."

Tezzolo nodded solemnly: "Understood!"

Jin coldly replied, "Yes."

The two turned and left, their steps hurried.

Roy looked out the window and saw two streaks of light shooting into the sky in the night, speeding off toward the northwest.

Tiger... hang in there.

The New World Seas, the darkness before dawn.

Tiger has lost count of how long he played.

His fists were long since numb; he had suffered countless knife wounds and gunshot wounds. Blood flowed down his wounds, dripping into the sea and attracting schools of sharks.

But he can't stop.

Behind them was the direction Aladdin led the fishmen in their retreat.

He has to stop him.

A pirate captain swung his sword at Tiger, who dodged to the side and punched him in the chest.

The man's chest caved in, and he flew backward, crashing into the ship's side, never to rise again.

But more enemies surged in.

"He's dying! Give it your all!"

"Grab him! Grab this fishman!"

Broken ship planks, burning wreckage, and corpses floated on the sea. The stench of the sea mixed with the stench of blood was nauseating.

Tiger stood on a wrecked piece of deck, panting heavily. He was covered in blood, both his own and his enemies'. He had so many wounds that he could no longer feel the pain.

Around him, a dozen or so pirate ships remained, surrounding him and eyeing him menacingly.

"Tiger! Surrender!" a pirate captain shouted from the bow of his ship. "You can't beat us!"

Tiger grinned, revealing bloodstained teeth: "Surrender? I've never learned those two words in my entire life."

He took a deep breath and leaped up—

Fishman Karate: Gun Wave!

A jet of water shot out from his hand, blasting towards the ship like a cannonball!

boom!

The bow of the ship exploded, and the captain who had shouted the warning was blasted away!

But when Tiger landed, his legs buckled, and he almost collapsed to his knees. He had reached his physical limit.

"Big brother!"

Aladdin's voice came from behind.

Tiger turned around and saw Aladdin leading several fishmen rushing back.

"Why are you back?!" Tiger exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Nonsense! How could I abandon you?" Aladdin grabbed him and pulled him up. "Let's go!"

Tiger gritted his teeth: "We can't leave. There are too many of them."

Aladdin looked at the menacing pirate ships around him, and his heart sank.

Yes, we can't leave.

Just then, a sinister voice rang out: "Running? Why aren't you running anymore?"

Lacot, the "Viper" captain, poked his head out of one of the ships. He looked at Tiger with a smirk, as if he were a piece of meat.

"Tiger, captain of the Sun Pirates, hero of Fishman Island. Tsk tsk tsk, didn't expect this, did you? You'd fall into our hands?"

Tiger stared at him coldly: "Enough nonsense. Kill me or torture me, come at me."

Lacot laughed: "Kill you? No, no, no, you're a treasure. With you, we can find lanternfish. With lanternfish, we can find pure gold. Killing you would be such a waste."

He waved his hand: "Men, capture him alive!"

The pirates charged forward with strange cries.

Tiger gritted his teeth, ready to fight to the death—

Just then—

A flash of lightning suddenly lit up the horizon!

The light grew brighter and closer, so bright that it was blinding!

Someone looked up, their pupils suddenly contracting: "What...what is that?!"

boom--!!!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Lakot's ship directly!

The entire ship exploded instantly! Before Lacot could even scream, he was engulfed by lightning!

Everyone stared in horror at the bolt of lightning—

Amidst the lightning, a figure slowly descended.

Tesoro.

His body crackled with lightning, his green hair danced in the electric light, like a thunder god descending to earth.

"Hey," he grinned, "it's getting lively."

The pirates paused for a second, and then—

"Run!!!"

Some people screamed and jumped into the sea, some frantically rowed to escape, and some were so frightened that they collapsed on the deck.

Tesoro watched the figures fleeing in disarray and sneered, "Do you think you can escape?"

He opened his arms—

"Thunder Welcome·Ten Thousand Thunders!"

Snap! Snap!

Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, covering the entire sea area like rain!

Each bolt of lightning struck a pirate ship with pinpoint accuracy!

Explosions, screams, and cries of alarm mingled together!
