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

Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag did not choose to run away.

Because they discovered that their ships simply didn't have the speed of naval warships.

The naval warships, which were originally small black dots, have become increasingly clear to the naked eye.

Charlotte Irving sighed:

"Snag, we can't escape."

Snag also fell silent.

After Charlotte Linlin's death, the once-glorious Charlotte Family Pirates were destroyed.

Those remnants who managed to escape also lost their former glory.

Snag said menacingly:

"Owen, we should have died on the battlefield fighting the Navy long ago, just like Mom and Katakuri."

"Get ready, don't let those damned marines look down on the Charlotte family."

With no way out, Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag were prepared to die.

On the deck of the speeding naval warship, Onigumo stood at the very front, watching the pirates who were on high alert.

His lips still curled into a mocking smile at the pirates.

His eyes flashed with a frenzied fighting spirit and unwavering faith.

Even as the distance drew closer, his expression remained unchanged, still bearing a mocking smile.

He drew the long sword from his waist with his right hand.

A gift!

A sword's cry echoed across the deck.

Onigumo gently rubbed the blade of the sword and sighed:

"Old friend, I'm afraid we can't continue this journey together this time."

Armament Haki spread from his right hand to the blade, gradually turning the originally bright blade into a jet-black iron color.

Onigumo raised his long sword high and roared forward:

"Gentlemen, do you see that group of pirates ahead, looking like stray dogs?"

"Just a few days ago, under the leadership of Chief Instructor Zephyr and Admiral Fujitora, we killed their captain Charlotte Linlin and brought her head to the square of New Marineford. Now, only this group of pirates remains."

"This is the final moment before final victory; we cannot afford any cowardice!"

"Charge! Kill them!"

"This sea will be forever at peace. These filthy pirates should be killed by our swords and sunk into the sea as nourishment!"

"For justice!!!"

"Fire!!!"

boom! boom! boom!

The roar of the Oni Spider was accompanied by the full-power firepower of the warship's cannons.

Even at high speed, the gunners calmly pushed the shells into the breech and then fired them like a rain of bullets at the pirate crew ahead.

Charlotte Irving and Charlotte Snag made no move.

They stared coldly at the naval warships speeding towards them.

The roar of artillery could no longer affect them, because they knew that the navy would not engage in a direct firefight with them.

The high-speed warship would only be like a sharp sword, piercing into the pirate ship beneath their feet, and then the two sides would engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Buzz~ Hmm~ Buzz~ Hmm~

The naval warship sounded an urgent alarm!

This sound was like a death knell for the pirates, and the other pirates on the deck looked at the navy warship, which did not slow down at all, with horror.

"No...no!"

"We surrender! We surrender!"

Under this pressure, some pirates, overwhelmed by panic, collapsed onto the deck, their limbs too weak to move.

Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag also changed their expressions.

They remained quite calm until the military aircraft arrived.

But when death actually came upon them, they discovered that they too could be afraid.

"This naval admiral must be a complete madman!"

"Such insane tactics are simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Charlotte Owen glanced at Snag beside her and said:

"I'll try to stop them, otherwise we won't even be qualified to fight the navy in hand-to-hand combat."

Charlotte Owen then used Moonwalk to fly towards the oncoming warship.

He intends to use his abilities to destroy the navy's aircraft carriers.

In the center of the deck, Onigumo coldly watched Charlotte Owen rushing towards him, his eyes full of contempt. "They dare to call themselves pirates, yet they don't even dare to risk their lives. How dare they call themselves pirates?"

Then, using the strength of his legs, he stepped onto the hard deck and flew into the sky.

His arms were already covered with a thick layer of Armament Haki.

Behind the pirates' back, his signature hair was tightly gripping a round bomb.

"Heat Wave Fist!"

Charlotte Owen unleashed his signature move at the warship.

The crimson figure exuded unparalleled heat; even before getting close to Onigumo, one could feel the scorching heat emanating from his body.

"I will never let you succeed!"

Onigumo gripped his longsword tightly and swung it fiercely, unleashing a sword beam that he was most satisfied with.

Pila.

A sound like tearing occurred.

Charlotte Owen's Heatwave Fist was easily torn apart by the sword light slashed by Onigumo, and even Owen's huge figure was cleaved in the chest with a single blow. But soon, the wound on Owen's chest stopped bleeding.

"Navy, if this is all you've got, you're probably going to die here today."

Despite being stabbed, Charlotte Owen keenly sensed that Oni Spider's strength was insufficient to kill him instantly.

If it's a one-on-one life-or-death battle, the outcome will be between 6 and 4, with Onigumo at 6.

However, behind Irving is a powerful force from the Charlotte family, Charlotte Snag.

In a two-on-one situation, Onigumo is doomed!

"Killing you is the same as leaving here!"

Charlotte Owen's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint; he was determined to give the spider demon in front of him a good beating.

"Snag, come help me! This vice admiral isn't that strong!"

Irving shouted behind him.

Upon hearing this, Snag also leaped off the deck and flew to Owen's side.

Seeing the two powerful Onigumo present, he felt not fear, but rather an unusual excitement.

This way, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of gathering Owen and Snag together.

"Navy, I swear I'll make you feel the pain."

"Before you die, I will slaughter all the navy soldiers and throw them in front of you, so you will know the methods of the Charlotte family."

Charlotte Owen said viciously.

The sea breeze blew fiercely against Onigumo's body, and his naval uniform fluttered wildly in the gale.

"The Charlotte family?"

Onigumo's lips curled into a sardonic smile.

"I almost forgot, Charlotte Lingling's head is still on the display stand at New Marineford, I think it was your mother."

"Hahahaha, trash is trash!"

"I, Onigumo, am not afraid of you filthy pirates!"

Onigumo's words made Charlotte Owen, whose emotions were already very unstable, even more irritable, and his expression became sinister and cruel.

A sinister smile played on his lips:

"Fine, fine, still being stubborn even when you're about to die!"

"Go to hell!"

Irving used his ability again, transforming into a high-temperature object and quickly approaching Ghost Spider.

"Heat Wave Fist!"

With a powerful strike, Irving's Heat Punch had a smaller range and a higher temperature than before.

Meanwhile, Snag launched his own attack from the other side.

The two planned to cooperate with their brother and try to defeat Onigumo within a few moves.

"It's not that simple!"

Onigumo raised his swords with both hands and swung them down at Charlotte Owen's head with a powerful, splitting-mountain-like strike, completely ignoring Snag on the other side.

this.

Before the longsword even got close to Owen, the skin on Ghost Spider's body was already being roasted by the high temperature brought by the Heat Fist.

Although Onigumo was in great pain, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he swung his long sword even faster.

"You're a madman!"

As the long sword was about to fall on his neck, Charlotte Owen finally realized that the enemy before him was planning to trade his life for hers.

He was unwilling to be replaced by Onigumo if Snag succeeded in his sneak attack.

So he withdrew his Hot Wind Fist and tried to dodge as much as possible.

click!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

Snag's fist struck the unsuspecting Onigumo, and the crisp sound of bones breaking told the two how serious Onigumo's injury was.

The longsword lost its strength in an instant, barely managing to cut through Owen's Armament Haki before getting stuck in his muscles.

Just as Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag were letting their guard down.

Onigumo suddenly looked up, his hands, covered in Armament Haki, reaching for Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag's hands.

"Hehe, I caught you."

The rapid beeping caused Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag's expressions to change drastically.

Onigumo pulled the pre-prepared bomb from behind his head using his hair.

"You pirates are lucky. Even within the Navy, very few people have ever seen something like this."

"You will be the first and second enemies this thing kills on the battlefield."

hum!

Alarm bells rang in Charlotte Owen and Charlotte Snag's minds. Even though they didn't know what the bomb was, they could still feel the intense aura of death emanating from it.

"You madman, let me go!"

Charlotte Owen instantly raised the temperature to its maximum, not even caring whether Snag beside him could withstand it.

All I wanted was to get away from Onigumo as soon as possible.

His palms and forearms were unsurprisingly scalded by the high temperature, and the intense pain made even the tough guy Onigumo grimace.

Even in his final moments, with his hands and forearms scalded, he clung tightly to Owen and Snag.

boom!!!

Rumble!!!

Like divine punishment, the location where Ghost Spider, Owen, and Snag were standing emitted light and heat comparable to the sun.

Within the range of this force, no living thing can survive safely.

The blazing flames engulfed Oni Spider, Charlotte Owen, and Charlotte Snag.

A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

In Irving's final moments of consciousness, only two words remained in his mind:

"madman!"

If he had known that Onigumo had been prepared to die with him from the very beginning, he would have fled without stopping from the start.

He chose to relinquish all the members and wealth that originally belonged to the Charlotte family.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

His arrogance cost him any chance of survival.

The incredibly powerful shockwave swept outwards in all directions, even affecting the warships and pirate ships located below.

The warship, which was originally accelerating at full speed to ram the pirate ship, was blown off course by the hurricane.

The once calm sea was whipped up by a powerful hurricane, with waves tens of meters high crashing wildly in all directions.

At this moment, whether they were marines or pirates, they could only hold on tightly to whatever they could grab to prevent themselves from being thrown off.

At the crucial moment, Onigumo's second-in-command stepped forward.

He picked up the Ghost Spider's walkie-talkie and began relaying orders to the other warships.

"Go all the way to the outside of the waves!"

Relying on its powerful propulsion and the force of the waves, the warship quickly left the turbulent sea area.

Buzz-hmm-buzz-hmm.

The piercing alarms on the warships jolted every sailor awake to the danger they were now facing on the battlefield.

But soon, their efforts paid off.

They successfully left the area most affected by the wind and waves and broke through to the outer area where the wind and waves were smaller.

"Turn around! Turn around!"

"Don't let any pirate ship escape!"

"Gunners, fire! Bomb their wrecked ships to smithereens!"

"Brothers, Vice Admiral Onigumo has died in the line of duty. We cannot let his efforts go to waste. If any pirate ships try to break through, use our warships to hold them off!!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The artillery never stopped firing, and after a brief cooling-off period, it couldn't wait to fire again.

Even pouring cold water on the cannon could not completely cool it down. Wisps of white mist condensed at the muzzle, and the pirates, who had already been attacked by the hurricane and waves at the center, had lost their ability to resist.

When they finally managed to reach the outer perimeter by following the waves, they were greeted by the dark muzzles of cannons on naval warships.

One by one, the wooden pirate ships were smashed to pieces by the navy's firepower, and seawater rushed into the cabins, dragging the pirates into the sea.

The cannonballs seemed to be raining down on the pirates as if they were free.

Until... the sound of cannon fire gradually subsided.

"What's going on?! Why aren't they firing?!"

The adjutant grabbed the artillery commander in charge and roared.

The gunner said with a somber expression:

"They're all gone! All the cannonballs on the ship are gone!"

The adjutant shoved the gunner aside, parted the thick fog, and looked toward the distant location of the pirates.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the pirate ship became clearer.

Under the fierce bombardment of the navy, every pirate ship was left in ruins, riddled with craters and dark holes.

The surviving pirates are desperately trying to repair the leaks in the ship's hold.

After taking a deep breath, the adjutant picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Gentlemen, the time has come to pledge our loyalty to the Navy!"

"Speed ​​up, ram them, kill them!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the warships crashed into the remaining pirate ships. As soon as they made contact, the navy soldiers, whose eyes were already bloodshot, grabbed their swords and jumped onto the pirate ships' decks.

They need to kill!

"For justice!!!"

"kill!!!"
