Chapter 303 Big Mom Pirates Attack

After their strength was significantly improved, the soldiers did not slack off at all; on the contrary, they devoted themselves to their training even more diligently.

They knew that as the situation became increasingly dire, they would inevitably face even fiercer battles, so they had to adapt to this surge in strength as soon as possible in order to play their due role in future battles.

They originally considered the Beasts Pirates as their hypothetical enemy, always prepared to deal with any possible attack from that direction.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was the Big Mom Pirates who came this time.

Dozens of pirate ships bearing Big Mom's iconic flag appeared in the Dressrosa waters like a dark cloud that blots out the sun.

This situation was quickly discovered by Violet, who was in charge of monitoring the situation at sea.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately sounded the alarm.

"The Big Mom Pirates are attacking!!"

The alarm sounded rapidly throughout the city via Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

Upon hearing the news, the residents were understandably flustered, but they had gradually become accustomed to dealing with such situations due to the frequent pirate attacks over this period of time.

As a result, everyone began to evacuate to the shelters in an orderly manner, and the city maintained a rare sense of order amidst the chaos.

Upon hearing the alarm, Luo and Cyrus rushed to the seaside immediately.

When they looked at the massive pirate fleet, they were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"We can't let them come ashore," Luo said, frowning.

He knew very well that no matter what the Big Mom Pirates were here for, once they landed, given their usual ways, they would definitely burn, kill, and plunder the city, plunging the entire Dressrosa into chaos.

However, given their current strength, they really don't have any effective means to stop it.

Just as the two were filled with worry, the pirate fleet continued to approach the shore, and it looked like it was less than three kilometers away from the port.

At this critical moment, Wes flashed and instantly appeared on the surface of the sea.

He stood steadily on the sea, as if there was solid land beneath his feet, showing no sign of sinking.

A layer of frost spread rapidly outwards from him, freezing the entire sea area in the blink of an eye.

The dozens of pirate ships were instantly trapped in the ice, unable to move, and could only helplessly remain stuck in place.

Charlotte Owen, the Minister of Baking of Whole Cake Island and also a user of the Heat-Heat Fruit, couldn't help but snort coldly upon seeing this scene.

"Watch me melt this ice." With that, he prepared to activate his Devil Fruit power, intending to melt the ice layer in one fell swoop so that the pirate ship could continue its journey.

However, just as he was about to activate his ability, he was stopped by Katakuri.

"Since they've set the stage, let's not spoil the fun."

Katakuri said calmly.

He jumped off the bow of the ship. Immediately afterward, more than a dozen of the Big Mom Pirates' officers followed suit and jumped off as well.

They walked towards Wes step by step.

Before long, the dozen or so people surrounded Wes.

"Wes Irwin," Owen said in a commanding tone, "come with us, Mom wants to see you."

In the eyes of the Big Mom Pirates, although Wes had a bounty of 20 billion Berries on his first try and had defeated the Donquixote Family, he was still just a newcomer who had only recently debuted and was not yet taken seriously by them.

"Heh~" Wes just chuckled softly after hearing Owen's words.

Then, he extended his index finger and flicked it lightly.

This seemingly casual action elicited no particular reaction from Irving.

However, Katakuri's expression instantly turned ugly.

Almost instinctively, he instantly stepped in front of Owen, channeling all his domineering aura into the trident in his hand, assuming a defensive stance.

Just then, a soft "ding" sound was heard.

The trident in Katakuri's hand, which was originally incredibly sturdy, was now covered with countless cracks.

Katakuri's body was sent flying by that powerful force, like a kite with a broken string.

He traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily into the pirate ship behind him.

With a deafening "BOOM!", a huge hole was smashed into the deck of the pirate ship, sending wood chips and debris flying everywhere.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Katakuri's momentum did not stop there. He used the force of the impact to smash through several ships before finally coming to a stop.

He lay amidst a pile of broken planks and wreckage, looking quite disheveled.

Irving witnessed all of this, and cold sweat uncontrollably slid down his face, one bead after another, dripping onto the ground.

His throat moved involuntarily as he swallowed repeatedly, his eyes filled with terror and lingering fear.

He knew perfectly well that if Katakuri hadn't blocked Wes's attack for him at the crucial moment, he would probably be lying dead on the spot, killed by Wes.

"Is he slightly stronger than Doflamingo because he possesses Observation Haki that allows him to foresee the future?"

Wes stood there calmly, showing no intention of continuing to make a move.

Although Katakuri's Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the future, has enhanced his strength to some extent, making him somewhat stronger than Doflamingo, in Wes's eyes, it is still far from enough.

The other members of the Big Mom Pirates were furious when they saw their beloved brother Katakuri being so easily knocked away by Wes. Their eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

They couldn't care less about anything else at the moment and launched a fierce attack on Wes.

Several of the pirates were wielding gleaming swords, clearly skilled in swordsmanship.

They moved with lightning speed and agility, their swords flashing through the air, creating sharp streaks that whistled through the wind as they stabbed towards Wes' vital points.

Other pirates activated their respective Devil Fruit abilities.

However, none of these attacks had any effect on Wes.

Before they could even get close to Wes, they were as if they had crashed into an invisible wall, frozen in mid-air, unable to move, and then everything went black as they plummeted straight onto the ice.

These pirates didn't die; they were just stunned by Wes's stun spell.

These guys who came to him were excellent experimental materials, and he wouldn't easily waste such a good opportunity.
