Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

On Onigashima, Kaido looked at the Eight Treasures Pavilion in his hand, somewhat bewildered. The Onigashima, which he had painstakingly built up over a long period of time, was so easily destroyed.

Sakazuki's figure materialized on the other side of Kaido. Neither of them launched an attack; instead, they stood face to face.

"Kaido, I can sense your anger?"

Unexpectedly, pirates can also feel anger, and even anger over their homeland and the deaths of their crew.

Sakazuki spoke coldly and expressionlessly.

A mocking smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"But pirates have destroyed countless homes and killed countless families. I've kept a record of every single one of these crimes."

Sakazuki never forgot what kind of group pirates really were.

They are greedy and lustful; they commit all sorts of evil deeds.

This world is full of orphans born because of the rampage of pirates.

So, from the day he enlisted, he vowed to wipe out all the pirates.

Fortunately, he was not alone on this path.

He met a younger brother who was stronger, more ruthless, and even more politically astute than him.

Sakazuki's downside is that he'll do anything for the sake of pirates' deaths, which is why, despite his high reputation within the Navy, many high-ranking, pacifist officers don't support him.

Many people even attacked him because his methods were too ruthless.

Sakazuki didn't take these people seriously. Everyone thought he was a power-hungry man, but only Raleigh and Borsalino knew that if the Marines could wipe out the pirates in the world, then Sakazuki could be the most valiant vanguard admiral.

It's a pity that in the original work, Sengoku, under the influence of the World Government and Garp and others, compromised step by step.

That's why Sakazuki became that villain.

Do you know? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I've been waiting to see you use your methods on yourselves.

Only then did I realize that even trash like pirates can feel pain, bleed, and grieve over the loss of loved ones.

"This is so exciting!!!"

This is the first time in all these years that Sakazuki has felt this good.

His heart was pounding powerfully, and his blood seemed to be boiling.

"Kaido, let me see just how angry you are!"

Sakazuki's right hand transformed into magma once more, aiming it at Kaido's head.

This time, he has powerful backers!

"Hound of the Underworld!"

"Roaring Eight Trigrams!"

The infinitely elongated magma pillar and Happosai collided once more, and the battle between Sakazuki and Kaido resumed.

"Lord Jin, the navy's warships are closing in."

The pirate underling walked nervously to King's side.

Jin's face was a little pale. The Armament Haki he had just used to resist Sakazuki's attack had still affected his condition to some extent.

"Notify all officers of True Fighter rank and above to do everything in their power to block the naval warships and prevent them from besieging Kaido."

Jin glanced at the two enormous creatures fighting on the island and said coldly,

Kaido gave him a second life, so he must use that second life to support Kaido.

His last effort was to ensure that no naval warship was allowed to land on the island.

"Jin, the battle in the clouds!"

A ship floated above the naval warship, with Enel holding the mithril trident, looking majestic.

The trident pointed at Yu, and Enel shouted that he had fought Jin last time, but neither of them had the will to fight to the death, so they had a win and a loss. This was not enough for Enel, a young general. So this time he hoped to fight Jin to the death in the sky, a true man's battle where only one of them could survive, without any stance or concerns.

Jin's expression changed. He had originally planned to risk his life to stop another general.

However, Enel's appearance left him with a wry smile.

The navy's strength is truly formidable, with two admirals and more than a dozen vice admirals and rear admirals.

Even if it's two against one, it's not like they can't afford to pay.

Letting Enel wreak havoc within the pirate fleet would have made no difference in the outcome.

Tell Queen and Jack that they're in charge of Kaido's rear.

Jin transformed into an ancient Pteranodon, raised his arm and soared into the clouds.

This time, there wasn't much he could do, but he hoped to defeat Enel.

If Enel's life were to be combined with his own, perhaps it would truly be possible to save Kaido's life after Kaido's capture.

With this belief, Jhin unleashed his full potential.

This was also the first time he had revealed one of the characteristics of his Lunaria race in front of everyone: the flames burning on his body!

Enel's Thor form was now at full power, his eyes turned completely white, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

His voice, like that of a god high in the heavens, was devoid of any emotion.

"After our last encounter, I was quite curious as to why the Ancient Zoan Pteranodon user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit could be covered in mysterious flames."

"After I returned, I spoke with General Rory and learned that you are a descendant of the Lunaria race."

I've heard you're known as a race of gods; that's interesting. Because I am a god too, the god of Thor. Let's see who survives today, the two of us gods.

Enel launched his attack after he finished speaking.

"Lei Ying!"

"The Twin Emperors of Blades!"

The two sides became locked in a fierce battle.

The battles in the sky and on the ground have reached a fever pitch.

The battle on the sea has only just begun.

"Heavy artillery, triple salvo!!!"

The naval commander's roar was drowned out by the bursts of cannon fire.

The naval soldiers were already familiar with this tactic when they previously conquered the territories of the other two Emperors.

They skillfully and quickly loaded shells, fired, cleaned the breech, and loaded more shells.

Each firing elicited cheers from the navy and screams of despair from the pirates. After three volleys, navy soldiers carrying water immediately rushed forward and poured it onto the scorching cannons to cool them down.

Such consequences would be severe, greatly reducing the lifespan of artillery.

But so what?

When the great war begins, no one cares about these things. If you win, you can naturally drag the heavy cannons back to be melted down and reforged. If you lose, all the cannons will belong to someone else.

Of course, they didn't believe that this rabble of pirates who only knew how to use brute force could win this battle. After the cannon cooled down, the naval soldiers repeated their previous actions.

It was another triple salvo from the artillery.

"Damn it, the navy's cannons have a longer range than ours!"

The lowly pirate gunner felt his hands and feet grow cold as he watched the cannonballs flying everywhere.

Their artillery has a small caliber, short range, and far fewer numbers than the navy's.

Such shelling meant they could only be attacked and had no way to retaliate.

"Lord Jack, this won't do. We're no match for the navy's artillery."

The panting pirate shouted to Jack the Drought.

At this moment, all the pirates who were at least at the level of True Fighter stepped in to help their ships intercept the cannonballs coming from the Navy warships.

Otherwise, if the ship is sunk, they will be stuck in the sea.

Most of the Beasts Pirates' officers, at the level of True Fighter or above, are Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. If they fall into the sea, their only fate is to drown.

Aside from Jack, the merman hybrid who can live without moving, everyone else is doomed.

Jack's face was grim as he gritted his teeth and said;

"Their artillery has a longer range than ours, so we can only move closer to them and engage in boarding combat, making the most of our advantages."

Upon hearing Jack's words, the pirate crew member was startled. "But...Lord Jack, that's a Marine Admiral's warship!"

Jack grabbed the pirate in front of him and pulled him close, shouting loudly:

"Who do you think I am? I'm Jack the Drought!"

"Move the boat closer!!!"

At this moment, fueled by a burning sense of defiance, Jack launched a counterattack against the naval warships.

If it were just a Sakazuki-class warship, perhaps Jack's order this time wouldn't be considered foolish.

After all, with the navy's overwhelming firepower, he could only engage in close combat. But now Jack was facing a ship with an admiral and more than ten vice admirals. His counterattack would only make him die faster!

Seeing the pirate ship with its sails fully unfurled, rapidly approaching the naval warship, all the naval soldiers became excited.

They were originally going to fire three volleys before boarding, but now that the pirates are willingly throwing their lives away, they can ignore Raleigh's order for three volleys and engage the pirates in hand-to-hand combat. On one of the forward warships, Barrett stared intently at Jack.

Such a burly man is clearly a very tough and powerful individual.

Barrett loves hand-to-hand combat; he believes that only that kind of fighting can be considered a real battle.

"Jack is mine, don't you dare take him!"

Barrett yelled and commanded his warship to ram Jack's warship.

Both sides had drawn their swords, ready to show each other their close-combat abilities.

Rumble!

Barrett and Jack's Mammoth collided first, both rams were damaged simultaneously, and the bows of the ships were pressed together.

In the middle of the collision, a platform about three meters wide was formed.

Barrett and Jack did not move, while the other, relatively weaker soldiers quickly scrambled to their feet from the deck.

During the impact, they could only lie on the deck to withstand the violent force of the impact.

"Charge! Chop these filthy pirates to pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks."

"Kill the navy, brothers, follow me!"

Two groups of people with completely different styles jumped onto the central platform, wielding swords and knives, and began to fight each other.

From the platform, large numbers of people were continuously hacked to the ground and fell into the sea.

Blood began to drip slowly down the edge of the platform into the sea. The intense battle caused sea monsters and sharks within a radius of several nautical miles to leave the area.

They're just mindless; they're not unaware of danger.

Unable to reach the platform immediately, the naval soldiers pulled out their muskets and began firing at each other across the sea.

The pirates were not to be outdone; their cannons were somewhat weaker, but the difference in their firearms was not significant.

Then a strange scene unfolded: on the central platform, marines and pirates wielding swords were hacking at each other.

Meanwhile, the naval soldiers and pirates on both sides were firing at each other with muskets at a distance of more than ten meters, neither side giving an inch.

Such scenes were happening on Barrett's warship, and soon they were happening on the warships of Doberman, Rat, and Fire Mountain Gion, among others.

Barrett twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, and beckoned towards Jack.

Jack's eyes turned red from the shock of the scene, and he stood on the deck and used his abilities.

He is a user of the Ancient Zoan type Mammoth Fruit.

When he transforms into a mammoth, he possesses immense strength, a gigantic body, and remarkable regenerative and resilience abilities.

Such a being is not something an ordinary lieutenant general could handle.

If this were on land, it would take at least two powerful generals of the rank of lieutenant general or above to work together to deal with Drought Jack when he went berserk.

However, he is now facing Douglas Bullet, a former crew member of the Pirate King Roger and known as the Devil's Heir, a terrifyingly muscular man.

The ship was clearly insufficient to support the two of them in their fight, and the two exchanged glances.

At the same time, they jumped towards the edge of the beach on Ghost Island.

Here, the two of them were about to have a real battle. Raleigh stood on his warship, looking at the fierce battlefield all around, and sighed.

The people of this world don't know what to say.

Once they get carried away, they enjoy playing those so-called real man battle scenarios.

It could also be to protect their own ordinary soldiers, since even the aftershocks of a high-level battle can kill a large number of ordinary naval soldiers or pirates.

However, his gaze shifted to the other side.

"So, how long are you planning to hide, Quinn!"

Raleigh's Observation Haki had already given him complete control of the entire area, so he immediately located Quinn.

A gentle breeze swept by, and a tall figure appeared in front of Quinn, who had originally intended to hide and launch a sneak attack.

"Admiral Christian Rowley of the Navy!!!"

Quinn was so afraid that his fat body trembled.

"Long time no see. I never thought that even after I gave you a chance to repent, you still ended up getting involved with pirates."

There was a hint of regret in Raleigh's voice.

However, to Quinn, this tone sounded like the whisper of a demon.

He would never forget that day when his research with Caesar attracted the wrath of Christine Raleigh.

The research base, which no one had ever found and which was extremely well-defended, was easily breached by Raleigh. All his schemes and tactics were seen as child's play by the enemy, and a slight move could change the outcome.

He even got himself and Caesar imprisoned by the Navy. If Kaido hadn't rescued him, Queen might still be sitting in prison right now.

Therefore, his fear of Raleigh was so deeply ingrained that he couldn't muster any strength to resist him when facing Raleigh.
