The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 264 Can they escape?

Inside the underground castle!

The entire space was somewhat dim and the environment was quite oppressive.

A fat man wearing glasses, a white cape, a black tie, and short blond hair.

This man was none other than the war maniac, the leader of the Sistell Legion, codenamed "Mad Major".

At this moment, he is speaking passionately on the stage.

"Gentlemen! I love war!"

His wide eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth were turned up in a wicked smile. His whole expression was neurotic, revealing a ferocity and terror.

"I like annihilation warfare, blitzkrieg, strike warfare, defensive warfare, encirclement warfare, breakthrough warfare, retreat warfare, mopping-up warfare, and withdrawal warfare..."

The high-pitched voice suddenly stopped.

He suddenly opened his arms as if embracing something, and continued his passionate speech, his tone ferocious and arrogant.

"Plains, streets, trenches, frozen ground, grasslands... I love all the wars in this world!"

His increasingly ferocious and sinister face, coupled with his extremely excited and agitated tone, made him look every bit the part of a mentally ill person.

The mad major grinned, slowly raised one hand, faced the neatly aligned soldiers below the stage, and spoke loudly.

"Gentlemen, I long for a war, a war like hell!"

Then he suddenly pulled his hands back in front of him, his body trembling with excitement as he roared wildly.

"Let the will of the Kingdom of Sistell burn fiercely... sweeping across the world like hell!!!"

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

In the darkness, squads of soldiers in uniform stood with scarlet eyes like those of wild beasts.

The scene was quite terrifying.

They raised their arms high in unison, producing a deafening sound in perfect unison, creating an astonishing spectacle.

……

……

Lati Island!

Charlotte gently released the prisoner from her grasp, unable to help but marvel.

"That's really crazy!"

He saw that almost insane speech through his Observation Haki—the ability to read minds.

What a neurotic orator! What a terrible war criminal!

These kinds of people are the most troublesome; their fanaticism is terrifying to behold.

However, a somewhat sinister smile then appeared on Charlotte's lips.

Now that he knows the other side's plan, the initiative in this battle is in his hands.

You're kidding me! I can read memories!

Charlotte's lips curled up slightly.

Moreover, through the memories of this man named Lieutenant Luke, he finally discovered what kind of Devil Fruit power "Mad Major" actually possessed.

Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Progenitor of the Vampire!

This should be the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Vampire form, a superior Devil Fruit. There is no doubt that the opponent's ability is extraordinary.

Both soldiers and subordinates were infected by the power of his Devil Fruit and given extraordinary strength.

Charlotte had to admit the strangeness of this Devil Fruit.

This is equivalent to creating a familiar through the power of a Devil Fruit, possessing vampire-like traits.

It's terrifying, extremely terrifying, a Devil Fruit that allows a single person to create the power of an entire army.

In Sistell's legion, there is also Captain Besol, who also possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit—a werewolf—and is quite formidable in combat.

That's truly extraordinary.

It is quite rare for an obscure organization to possess two mythical beast species.

Fortunately, he also learned of the enemy's next surprise attack plan.

Charlotte stood up and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

What a formidable guy! If it weren't for his terrifying ability, the losses would have been enormous!

Night falls!

A full moon hung high in the sky, its gentle light scattering across the entire island of Lati, creating a sense of inexplicable tranquility.

In the sky, huge airships slowly approached Lati Island.

Two figures stood atop the airship, one of whom, a woman holding a massive sniper rifle as tall as a person, spoke casually.

"Alhambra, is Lati Island just ahead?"

With a smile, Alhambra, sporting a top hat and a mustache, said, "Wink, don't be careless! That's a den of dragons and tigers; all we need to do is launch a sneak attack."

"Tch, coward!"

Alhambra looked helpless, tilted his head, and spread his hands, saying, "This is the major's order. I don't want to die with you."

Sniper Wink also looked serious upon hearing this.

Alhambra ignored Wenk and spoke calmly to his men.

"Upon approaching the vicinity of Lati Island, they immediately began dropping bombs, emptying the area of ​​bombs in the shortest possible time."

"yes!"

Ahmbula stretched out his hand and rubbed his upturned mustache, his face full of bloodlust.

As soon as they arrived near the vicinity of Lati Island, the huge airships lined up in a row, and shells rained down instantly.

Alhambra revealed a cruel expression, as if he could already see a sea of ​​fire.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a series of explosions and endless flames shooting into the heavens.

All the shells were detonated in mid-air.

Alhambra's expression changed on the airship.

"It's bad, we've been found out."

The next second, Wenk suddenly raised his terrifying sniper rifle and fired a shot forward.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the sniper rifle's terrifying bullet shot out like a streak of light.

The appearance of Jin in mid-air was somewhat unexpected.

The black wings suddenly trembled, creating a terrifying gust of wind, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying bolt of lightning shot out.

"boom!"

A terrifying explosion erupted in mid-air.

"hateful!!!"

Wink looked extremely grim; her sniping attempt had been easily intercepted.

As he brandished his spear, Wink let out a loud shout.

"Ultimate Kill - Explosive Death Star!"

With a muffled bang, the jet-black bullet shot out like a flash of light, hurtling towards the ashes in the sky.

Ember crackled with electricity, and flames rose up.

"Thunderfire Tornado!"

The terrifying power transformed into a massive fire tornado, intertwined with endless lightning, directly striking forward.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, two terrifying forces unleashed violent shockwaves.

Jin's cold voice rang out again, his hands crossed, and endless, terrifying lightning erupted.

"Fifty Million Volts Thunderstorm!"

Endless thunder and rain poured down from the sky, instantly illuminating the night sky like a terrifying curtain of light sweeping across the entire night.

"Boom!"

One after another, the airships were pierced through instantly, bursting into flames, and plummeting towards the sea.

Both Wenk and Alhambra had somber expressions.

Jhin, the King of Thunder, is terrifyingly powerful.

"Initiate the attack!"

With a sudden shout from Alhambra, countless soldiers of the Sistell Legion leaped from the airship.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of vampire soldiers descended upon Lati Island, launching a frontal assault.

Flames shot skyward.

The scarlet eyes below looked like a demon in the darkness.

However, the members of the Heberfeller family, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly made their move.

A group of terrifying vampire soldiers were completely wiped out by the power of the Heberfeller family in the shortest amount of time.

Alhambra and Wenk, fleeing at high speed on the sea, headed straight for the nearby outpost island.

"Did they escape?"

The two had just breathed a sigh of relief after escaping to the outpost island.

"Can they escape?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, and the two of them immediately looked up.

Ember flapped its wings, its gaze icy as it looked down at the two below.

He didn't expect those two guys to be so fast.

"Damn it!"

Wenk and Alhambra exchanged a glance and immediately made their move.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A barrage of terrifying artillery fire hurtled towards the embers high in the sky.

The next instant, Jin appeared on the ground, his body crackling with lightning. Endless lightning surged forth, engulfing the two of them completely.

The specially made metal card in Alhambra's hand shot out instantly like a terrifying laser, constantly intercepting the lightning attacks.

Jhin revealed a hint of amusement; his strength was quite impressive.

Amidst flashes of lightning, Jhin appeared before Alhambra like a ghost.

A terrifying sword of lightning was drawn, and Jhin slashed it down.

Alhambra swung his hands rapidly, creating a dense protective net as terrifying metal cards moved at high speed.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, lightning raged, and countless metal cards were torn to shreds in the blink of an eye, exploding and shooting in all directions.

As Jin raised his hand, a bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertips.

Suddenly, a bullet flew in and directly intercepted Jhin's Thunder Laser.

The endless barrage of bullets, like artillery fire, instantly sealed off the space around Jin.

Jin's expression remained unchanged. With a flap of his wings, flames rose and lightning flashed.

"Thirty Million Volts - Eight-Mirror Thunderfire Bird!"

In an instant, crackling electricity crackled as eight terrifying giant birds, intertwined with lightning and rising flames, took to the air.

It intercepted all bullets coming from all directions with lightning speed.

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, and in the instant Wink's expression changed, Jhin's figure had already appeared beside him.

The long, slender leg suddenly kicked out, the terrifying speed causing the air to whistle and pierce.

Wink applied Armament Haki and raised his sniper rifle to block Jhin's attack.

"boom!"

A terrifying force erupted, and Wenk's body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into a low mountain behind him and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Alhambra had arrived, and metal cards poured out. Jhin paused, then vanished with a whoosh.

Then a hand wreathed in terrifying lightning reached out and, to Alhambra's horrified gaze, pinned him down.

"Crackling and popping!"

A terrifying bolt of lightning erupted, and Alhambra was instantly reduced to a black, charred mess.

Having taken down one enemy, Jhin turned his gaze to the female sniper, watching her struggle as she leaned on her sniper rifle.

Without hesitation, Jin dodged and punched his opponent in the stomach.

Under the terrifying impact of the force, Wenk coughed up blood, his eyes rolled back, and he immediately lost consciousness.

"not bad!"

With one hand holding Wink, the woman, Jhin flapped his black wings and instantly took to the air, heading back towards Lati Island.
