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

The second line of defense within the Charlotte family's sphere of influence in the New World.

The sounds of battle echoed continuously, resounding through the sky.

"Awe-inspiring nation!"

Charlotte Linlin easily unleashed an unparalleled, colossal sword beam, carrying an aura of destruction as it hurtled straight towards the naval ranks.

It seems they intend to wipe out all the naval soldiers.

"Don't even think about it!"

Zephyr's expression grew increasingly solemn. His right arm was completely covered in Armament Haki, and he raised his wrist high, slamming his fist into the sword's edge.

Boom!

Like a large bell being struck, several spatial rifts appeared at the point where the fist and the sword light clashed.

As Zefa continued to exert his power, cracks began to appear on the sword's edge.

Click.

A barely audible sound appeared on the battlefield, and then more and more cracks spread throughout the sword light.

boom!

After being blocked by Zefa, the enormous golden sword beam suddenly exploded into countless tiny wind blades, sweeping out in all directions.

The naval soldiers were well-prepared for battle, and they used the advantageous terrain to avoid the wind blades generated after the sword's energy shattered.

The pirates were also doing their best to stop them.

On the other side, a smile appeared. At this moment, his staff-blade had already pressed down on Katakuri's trident. The added gravity on the blade caused Katakuri's body to sink continuously.

"Nuonuo Domain"

Katakuri realized that he couldn't fight off the gravity with his own power, so he instantly transformed the area into the domain of the Mochi Mochi Fruit.

"That's a tricky ability."

He smiled and frowned slightly.

Killing Katakuri within the Mochi Mochi Zone is already a very difficult task.

"Navy, die!"

A biscuit soldier appeared behind Yixiao, raising its sword high and forcefully slashing at Yixiao's back.

"Gravity Blade Tiger!"

With a smile, he swung his sword backhand and slashed at the biscuit soldier behind him. The immense force caused the originally sturdy biscuit soldier's body to crack.

Even though Cracker tried his best to maintain the biscuit soldier's body, he still couldn't protect the biscuit soldier from the attacks.

Click.

Without the power of the cracker to sustain them, the biscuit soldiers were instantly crushed into powder by gravity.

With a smile, he turned the knife in his hand towards another Cracker.

His Observation Haki left Cracker, who was hiding among the cookie soldiers, with nowhere to hide.

"Meteorite!"

With a smile, he suddenly retreated, deciding to use a giant meteorite to eliminate this group of exceptionally hard biscuit soldiers.

After taking a deep breath, Yixiao focused his Observation Haki range and looked into space to observe suitable meteorite specimens.

"Found it."

The moment Yixiao found the meteorite, he brandished his staff-sword, sending circular gravitational ripples flying into the depths of space.

"I have a bad feeling."

Even though he hadn't anticipated Issho's next move, Katakuri still felt an unusual flutter in his heart.

He didn't know what Yixiao had summoned in space, but he knew that Yixiao's next attack would be earth-shattering.

Rumble!!!

Even before the attack arrived, Katakuri and Cracker on the ground were already feeling fear.

They couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Charlotte Linlin and Zephyr, who both possessed a higher level of mastery over Haki, stopped simultaneously and looked up at the sky in unison.

Behind the thick, dark clouds in the sky, something seemed to be rapidly approaching, emitting a terrifying howling sound.

"You rascal."

After learning what kind of attack Ikkō had launched, even Zephyr couldn't help but curse.

Although his attitude towards pirates has changed, even killing pirates will not make Zephyr merciful.

But there are far too few cases like Issho's, since the navy and pirates are intertwined at this moment, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

"Hurry up!"

"All naval personnel, immediately disengage from the battlefield and move towards the warships."

Even Zefa, a former general, dared not be careless in the face of the enormous meteorite summoned by Yixiao.

Upon receiving Zephyr's message, all the naval soldiers immediately withdrew from the battlefield where they were fighting the pirates.

"The navy has run away again. I'm going to wipe them out completely!"

"Brothers, charge! The navy is practically powerless now. Only by killing them can we seize more wealth."

Those among the pirates who witnessed the Navy's retreat immediately assumed that the Navy had lost the will to fight.

They were unwilling to send such naval soldiers back to the supply island between the first and second lines of defense.

Once the retreat and resupply at the island are completed, the naval forces that come sweeping in again will be even more difficult to deal with.

Cracker desperately rallied countless biscuit soldiers in an attempt to stop the naval soldiers from retreating.

"Cracker, get out of here!"

Sensing something amiss, Katakuri abruptly raised his head and looked into the depths of the clouds, as if some terrible consequence was lurking behind the dark clouds.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the battlefield, even the thick, dark clouds began to change.

The dark clouds in the center slowly began to spread outwards, as if something was squeezing the space around them.

When the first face of the meteorite was revealed to the people, even Charlotte Linlin and the rest of the Charlotte family, who had experienced many battles, could not help but feel fear.

Because the number of meteorites summoned by Yixiao this time is more than three times that of the previous meteorite.

Even before the meteorite actually fell, just seeing its size was enough to make countless pirates put down their weapons.

"What...what a joke! Humans...how could humans possibly defeat such a monster!"

The pirate, having laid down his weapon, muttered to himself in despair.

Cracker, wielding a massive greatsword, trembled as he looked at the giant meteorite about to fall from the sky.

"Stop right there!"

Even Cracker, who was afraid of giant meteorites, showed no mercy as he slashed at Fujitora Issho, who had just spent some effort summoning the meteorite.

A powerful sword aura suddenly appeared in front of Issho, and Cracker's giant sword was covered with jet-black Armament Haki.

"Gravity-repulsion!"

Faced with Cracker's attack, Issho didn't choose to fight head-on. Instead, he used his Devil Fruit ability to generate a sufficiently strong repulsive force.

The cracker was flung far away.

"Anti-gravity".

After sending Cracker flying, Issho quickly drew a circle on the ground with his cane sword, then controlled the ground beneath his feet and flew into the air.

Cracker's face was contorted with rage. He couldn't imagine how many of his younger siblings and Charlotte's pirates would survive such an attack.

As one of the three Sweet Commanders, what kind of punishment will he receive when facing Charlotte Linlin on Whole Cake Island?

The battle continues.

The meteorite's fall is inevitable, and now soldiers on both sides are desperately trying to get closer to their ships.

!

Even in such a situation, the Navy still used the firepower of its warships to bombard the pirate ships belonging to the Charlotte family.

One after another, the unmanned pirate ships were reduced to fragments under the fierce gunfire of the navy, and one pirate after another could only desperately run towards the next ship that had not yet exploded.

"Gravity-based movement!"

After Yixiao flew over the naval warship, he used his ability to lift the naval warship on the sea.

He had already mentally rehearsed this scenario long before officially engaging with the Charlotte family.

Once a high-intensity battle breaks out, in order to avoid the deaths of ordinary soldiers, he will immediately lift all the warships into the air to prevent tsunamis caused by the intense fighting.

Now it seems that what Issho was considering could indeed actually happen, even though it was Issho who initiated it himself.

boom!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the meteorite ultimately crashed into the island, leaving no room for escape.

There was a slight sound the moment they came into contact with the island, and then the whole world seemed to fall into absolute silence.

That's because the sound produced by the explosion exceeded the limit of human hearing and was transformed into energy waves that spread outwards.

Anything that stands in the way of the energy wave will be shattered into pieces by this powerful force.

"Silent Space!"

On the warship in the very center, a pale-faced navy man pressed his hands on the deck, struggling to activate his Devil Fruit ability.

Rosinandi!

After dealing with Uta, Rosinante, feeling that things weren't very interesting, volunteered to go with Ikko to the Charlotte family's territory in the New World for training.

The main reason is that Issho and Sengoku have a fairly good relationship, so Sengoku can confidently entrust Rosinante to Issho.

Now is the perfect time for Rosinandi's Silence Fruit to activate.

The domain suddenly expanded, enveloping all the navy's warships, and then quietly awaited the impact of the energy wave.

Wow!

The naval soldiers within the area could not hear any external sounds at all, and even the sounds they made themselves could not be heard due to Rosinante's abilities.

Only Rosinandi in the navy could hear the sounds of the energy wave impact area.

puff.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Rosinandi's mouth, his face flushed red, and the veins on his head bulged as if they might burst at any moment due to the immense pressure.

Zefa appeared beside Rosinante at some unknown time, accompanied by several military doctors, ready to treat Rosinante at any moment.

"Whenever you feel like you can't take it anymore, just eat this, Rosinante."

When Rosinante was losing consciousness, Enel's image appeared in Rosinante's mind. In his memory, Enel had given Rosinante a pill and told him to use it only when his life was in danger.

Rosinandi struggled to pull a silver-gray metal bottle from his breast pocket, mustered his strength to unscrew the cap, and then poured the pills inside into his mouth and swallowed them.

Thump...thump thump...thump thump thump!

As soon as the pill went down his throat, Rosinante's previously hazy consciousness instantly cleared, and he could clearly feel his heart beating faster and faster.

A mysterious energy within his body supports his techniques.

The once precarious Silent Domain, supported by this power, has instead maintained its unbreakable state.

Rosinandi coughed up blood again, but his eyes became even brighter.

"Don't worry about me, Chief Instructor Zephyr, I'm in great shape right now."

Rosinandi began to explain.

Zephyr frowned. He had seen Rosinante swallow the pill, and he had also directly sensed Rosinante's transformation from weakness to strength.

But Zephyr was a man who had fought his whole life, and he knew that such power did not come without a price.

He had encountered many people who gained enhanced strength by taking banned drugs, and he knew that these so-called banned drugs were nothing more than forcibly extracting energy from the human body.

Used for short-term breakthroughs.

However, Zephyr did not speak up at the moment, because if Rosinandi did not take banned drugs to enhance himself, he might not be able to maintain the Silent Domain.

Then the navy will suffer the same fate as the pirates.

At this moment, on the island beneath their feet, most of the pirates didn't even utter a cry of despair before being crushed into ashes by the meteorite.

The once sturdy island was shattered into pieces by the impact of the meteorite.

In addition, the massive energy wave generated by the impact killed the unprotected pirates instantly, leaving countless pirates bleeding from all seven orifices.

On the other side of the island, far from the island, a giant pirate ship is covered with a hard cookie shield.

As the energy waves assaulted the area, the hard biscuit shield was shattered like snowflakes and fell into the sea.

But then came the white glutinous rice protection.

Cracker and Katakuri worked together to create two protective shields.

Even if Cracker's protection fails, Katakuri's mochi will provide a second defense.

Meanwhile, apart from the part of the pirate ship below the seawater, the part above the waterline has been transformed into a mochi-like state by Katakuri.

Otherwise, the masts and keel of the ship would be unable to withstand the impact of the energy wave.

Fortunately, thanks to the two layers of defense, the energy wave from the explosion did not cause much damage to the ship.

Katakuri and Cracker slowly withdrew their powers and quickly left the second line of defense with their younger siblings.

Because they knew that a terrifying tsunami would inevitably follow such an impact, they had no choice but to run back to Whole Cake Island before the tsunami fully formed.

In mid-air, after the energy wave impact, Rosinante suddenly lost consciousness. The medic behind Zephyr quickly stepped forward and took Rosinante into the cabin for treatment.

Zefa looked at the island that had completely disappeared beneath his feet, his expression neither sad nor happy.

He neither wanted to be a pirate butcher nor the merciless admiral he once was, so he had no opinion on the outcome.

"Chief Instructor Zephyr, shall we continue the attack?"

Yixiao stepped forward and asked politely.

Now is the perfect time to expand our gains while Charlotte's pirate crew is still reeling from heavy losses.

Zephyr glanced at Fujitora and smiled before issuing military orders.

"Everyone, pursue the surviving pirates all the way to the Charlotte Family's third line of defense."

Under Zephyr's orders and with Issho's abilities, the Navy flew through the air and continuously rained down cannon fire on the pirate ships below.

One cannonball after another mercilessly shattered the pirates' desire to survive.
