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

The crackling of electricity filled the air as Enel casually held up his trident, looking at the serious-faced sniper in front of him.

"I think I know you, you bastard who abandoned your wife and children."

"I wonder how your wife and children will react when they hear of your death? Oh, by the way, according to Marshal Raleigh's new military order, there's a high chance your wife and children will have to do hard labor to atone for the crimes you committed."

Enel casually swung his trident, and streaks of lightning flew toward Yasopp like bullets.

As he leaped and dodged, Yasopp raised his spear to retaliate.

boom! boom! boom!

Enel frowned. Although Yasopp hadn't harmed him yet, it was undeniable that someone who could serve as a sniper in the Red-Haired Pirates was one of the world's top snipers.

Several bullets grazed his head.

Furthermore, under the cover of bullets, Yasopp had already retreated to a sufficiently safe location.

"Navy, this kind of thing—touching other people's wives and children—is hardly justifiable."

"It was a vicious snarl from the mouth of Jesus," he said.

Enel burst into laughter upon hearing this:

"This naval order may be flawed in its intent, but by what capacity or what right do you have to make these statements?"

"Did the Navy force you to become a pirate?"

"As far as I know, Shanks didn't do anything back then. He just asked you one question, and you abandoned your wife and children to follow him to sea. If it weren't for the Navy maintaining peace in the region, your wife and children might have died at the hands of another group of pirates long ago."

"So, what gives you the right to question me here!"

The trident in Enel's hand contained an indescribable and terrifying power.

"A person like you can only wash away the sins he has committed through death."

boom!

The tip of the trident unleashed unparalleled power, and an incredibly thick bolt of lightning instantly pierced through the group of pirates, its target being Yasopp, who was raising his spear.

"Yospasm! Watch out!!!"

The obese Rakitic rammed into Yasopp from the side with unimaginable agility, and the two of them were sent flying instantly.

When the smoke cleared, Lucky's entire body was crackling with lightning, and Yasopp's face was charred black by the lightning.

In mid-air, the battle between Barrett and Shanks had reached a fever pitch.

Both sides had been on the same ship before and had practiced against each other, so they went all out from the start.

!

Shanks's slashes were exceptionally fierce, each strike carrying a binding effect, creating ripples in the air beneath his blade.

The powerful explosion caused chaos in the surrounding airflow, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Your swordsmanship is still a bit inferior to Captain Roger's, Shanks."

"Not fast enough, and not ruthless enough!"

Barrett had already used his Fusion Fruit to fuse into an alloy monster over ten meters long, and his chain-tooth sword was slashing wildly at Shanks in the air.

Barrett chose to ignore the attacks that were harmless, since he was now covered in alloy armor.

A fierce glint flashed in Shanks' eyes, and he suddenly stomped on the air.

Whoosh!

Shanks disappeared from Barrett's sight.

The chainsaw sword sliced ​​through the air, creating spatial rifts, but it did not harm Shanks.

After Barrett's attack missed, Shanks suddenly appeared behind Barrett in a very strange manner, and swung his Griffin downwards.

Sizzle sizzle!

A sharp sound rang out, and a series of sparks flew from the back of Barrett's neck.

Barrett winced in pain, but his figure remained unchanged.

This attack did not seriously injure Barrett; instead, it ignited the ferocity within him.

"Go to hell!"

The serrated sword was covered with Barrett's unique ghostly aura; a blue-black aura enveloped the entire blade. Then, Barrett swung it backhand.

clang!

Unable to dodge in time, Shanks could only raise his Griffin to block.

Shanks, who had just withstood the first attack, hadn't even had time to retreat when Barrett swung his sword again with incredible agility.

This time, the chop is from top to bottom.

click!

The chainsaw sword clashed directly with Griffin's, and Barrett began to increase the force of the blade.

Shanks was never a power-type swordsman, and his strength was far inferior to Barrett's.

If Shanks hadn't been so powerful, he would have been cleaved in two by Barrett's sword long ago.

The outcome now depends on which side can persevere.

The two bodies plummeted downwards from the sky, Barrett's sword pressing Griffin down with it.

dong dong!

Shanks and Barrett landed one after the other. Due to the weight of the sword, Shanks' feet were pressed into the soil by Barrett's immense force.

"Shanks!"

Almost simultaneously, Yasopp drew his spear as he called Shanks' name.

A bullet coated with Armament Haki spun through the air and shot straight at Barrett's forehead.

Click~

A bolt of lightning appeared in front of Barrett in an instant, his trident thrusting into the air.

Ding!

The bullet struck Enel's trident with a resounding thud, falling to the ground. At the same time, the entire Red-Haired Pirates rushed towards the pinned-down Shanks, shouting, "Release our captain!"

"Shanks, we'll be there soon." Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Beckman, and the others all put down their opponents and collectively attacked Barrett and Enel.

At that moment, Shanks suddenly unleashed a surge of power from nowhere, forcefully pushing back the serrated sword that was already close to his neck.

At that moment, Yasopp suddenly shouted.

"road!"

Almost the instant Yasopp spoke, Lucky Roux instinctively covered his entire body with Armament Haki.

"Lei Ying!"

Enel pointed his trident at the sky, and then a bolt of lightning struck Lucky Strike in the blink of an eye.

Layer upon layer of lightning covered Rakiru's obese body, but it did nothing to slow down Rakiru's advance.

"Annoying bugs!"

Barrett relaxed his hold on Shanks, turned around, and kicked Lucky Roux in the round belly.

Rumble!

This kick sent Lucky Roux flying hundreds of meters into the pirate ship, creating a large hole.

Barrett and Enel exchanged a glance, then Barrett swung his serrated sword at Shanks, who was panting in place.

boom! boom! boom!

Several bullets appeared before Barrett's eyes at a speed faster than a slash.

Faced with such an attack, Barrett could only hold his serrated sword across his chest to block the bullets fired by Yasopp and Beckman.

"General Borsalino, if you don't make a move, we'll be ganged up on and killed."

Enel yelled at the top of his lungs, his trident constantly firing lightning in all directions.

"Understood, the Yasakani no Magatama!"

Before anyone knew it, Borsalino had already jumped into the air and was ready to attack.

Then, countless orbs of light appeared from Borsalino's hands, appearing in the pirates' eyes at the speed of light.

"Get out of the way!"

Beckman's pupils constricted.

He's not afraid of Borsalino one-on-one, but when it comes to group attacks, the entire Red-Haired Pirates combined can't compare to a Marine Admiral with a top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Yasopp was also thrown backward by the attack.

A streak of lightning flashed behind Yasopp at incredible speed, followed by a trident thrusting straight into his back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Yasopp slung his spear behind his back, firmly blocking Enel's trident.

"Now, Brother Barrett!"

Enel suddenly shouted, and then Barrett abandoned Shanks, who was fighting, and ran towards Yasopp, who was already under control.

"Yospasm!"

Seeing this, Shanks screamed wildly and frantically moved closer to Yasopp's position.

Unfortunately, due to Borsalino's beam of light, the Red-Haired Pirates were now quite a distance from Yasopp.

Having realized what was happening, Beckman disregarded his own safety and fired several shots with his pistol until the magazine was empty.

At this moment, Yasopp was in a hopeless situation, but he forced himself to stay calm, leaping up as if trying to gain momentum from clinging to Barrett and escape his certain death.

Barrett grinned maliciously as he gripped the chainsaw sword with both hands and brought it down with a sudden slash, as if to slice Yasopp in two.

puff.

One of his thighs was easily severed by the chain-toothed sword.

Seeing this, Shanks' eyes turned blood red again, and he slashed Barrett in the back with his sword.

"Gods, beware!!!"

The immense force was too much for Barrett, who was already in his combined form, to withstand. The powerful impact cleaved a deep, bone-revealing gash in his back, which was covered in thick alloy.

Barrett's body flew forward instantly.

However, as he passed by Yasopp's body, which was flying backward, Barrett threw two punches in quick succession. The first punch landed on Yasopp's face, and the second punch landed on Yasopp's chest.

Everyone present could hear the clear sound of bones breaking.

Enel, who had been standing behind Yasopp, threw his fully charged trident, which struck Yasopp's right leg, which had just been severed by Barrett.

In an instant, the thigh, which was still bleeding, turned into a charred black, faintly emitting the smell of roasted meat.

Enel spread his arms and placed them on Barrett's waist and chest to help him absorb the impact of being knocked away.

Rumble!

Both sides had players knocked away, leaving the arena in a mess, with layers of smoke obscuring the other's situation.

After the smoke dissipates.

Enel helped Barrett, who had already exited the fused state, while Lucky Roux caught Yasopp, who had been knocked away.

Shanks, Beckman, Lyme Jones, and others stood in front of Yasopp, glaring angrily at Barrett.

The Red-Haired Pirates' ship's doctor, Dege, rushed over and quickly stopped the bleeding from Yasopp's thigh. At the same time, he looked up at the area where Yasopp had just fought, seemingly searching for Yasopp's missing thigh.

Unfortunately, a trident crackling with lightning was stuck in that thigh.

Then, Dego began to reattach the broken ribs and the nasal bone on Yasopp's face.

Shanks, holding Griffin in his hand, stood at the forefront, his Conqueror's Haki, filled with pure killing intent, overwhelming Barrett and Enel.

"It's a monstrous aura, it's absolutely terrifying."

Everyone's eyes lit up as a figure in a yellow striped suit appeared in front of Enel and Barrett, withstanding the impact of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki.

"Borsalino!"

Shanks roared in frustration.

All he wanted to do now was kill Barrett and avenge Yasopp, who had lost a leg. Unfortunately, Borsalino, who stood in front of him, seemed to be telling him that it was impossible!

That was a perfectly healthy admiral!

At this moment, the Red-Haired Pirates had already appeared among the wounded who had been reduced in number due to the battle. If the fighting continued, Shanks didn't know who else in the Red-Haired Pirates would be injured, or even killed.

Looking around, the navy now had a clear advantage.

The pirates who were summoned initially had the courage to fight to the death, but as more and more people around them died, their inner thoughts began to change quietly.

Some frightened pirates have already moved to the edge of the battlefield, ready to flee at any moment.

"Dominate the Seas!"

Shanks unleashed a magnificent sword beam without warning.

However, the sword beam was not aimed at the trio led by Borsalino, but at the naval soldiers who were fighting hard on the battlefield.

"Damn it!"

Borsalino and Enel moved at the same time, appearing in front of the sword beam, and the two of them simultaneously shattered it.

Meanwhile, the Red-Haired Pirates took the opportunity to board the Red Fox and sailed straight into the depths of the New World.

He disregarded the pirates fighting on the battlefield and quickly fled the scene.

"Red-haired Shanks has run away!"

Someone shouted something, causing some bloodthirsty pirates to look up blankly. All they could see was the stern of the Redford and its billowing sails, and they didn't know what to do.

However, the naval soldiers were not affected by Shanks' escape; on the contrary, they swung their sabers even faster.

The pirates, who had long since reached the edge of the battlefield, immediately threw down their swords and jumped into the sea to swim back to their own ships after seeing Shanks flee in his ship.

"Pursue them with all your might!"

Borsalino and Enel leaped into the air and simultaneously destroyed the pirate ships anchored at sea.

Rumble!

Pirate ships were destroyed by Borsalino and Enel without even starting up, and pirates were forced to drift in the sea clinging to broken planks.

The Navy worked until nightfall to deal with all the pirates brought by the Red-Haired Pirates.

All the pirates who landed were killed by the marines. The marines rummaged through the corpses on the battlefield and finished off any pirates who were not quite dead yet.

The bodies of the heroic naval soldiers who sacrificed their lives were carefully found, cleaned, and prepared for collective cremation.

In this battle, the Navy annihilated 1,358 pirates at the cost of 322 lives and 897 serious injuries.
