One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Gion's expression was resolute. The golden datura sword in her hand shone brightly, and the domineering aura flowing on the blade transformed into golden datura flowers in mid-air, which shot towards Jin's body with a whoosh.

"What does death matter?! Don't underestimate the Navy's justice!"

"Bloom! Datura flowers that bloom even in the underworld!"

Clang! Clang!

The blades, wreathed in a domineering aura, collided with lightning speed, creating a series of sparks.

With complete concentration, Gion unleashed the full potential of her swordsmanship at this moment.

With each slash, a swirling golden datura flower fell towards Jin's body.

Even though the flying blades and flowers were brutally shattered by Jin's flaming blade, the lifelike golden flowers still continued their momentum, stubbornly shooting towards Jin's body, causing the flames behind his head to tremble. His tall body was forced to retreat continuously by Gion's fierce slashes.

"This woman has impressive swordsmanship skills."

Jin gritted his teeth, gripped his sword with both hands, and used pure brute force to block Gion's next slash. Taking advantage of the moment when their weapons were locked in mid-air, he kicked out with his long right leg, sweeping across Gion's waist. Caught off guard, Gion was struck in the abdomen.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Gion was kicked away by Jin, crashing into the house next to her, smashing through countless walls and kicking up clouds of dust.

Seeing Gion silently rise from the corner of her mouth, blood trickling from her lips, a hint of mockery flickered in the eyes beneath the black mask on King's face.

“I never said I was a swordsman.”

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the inner harbor, which was engulfed in gunfire, and a smirk appeared on his lips beneath his mask. "This sound of gunfire is like a death knell, a death knell tolled by your own navy."

In the distance, on the surface of the inner bay, a large ship resembling an elephant's head charged ahead, ignoring the constant barrage of cannon fire from all sides, blasting the hull into a shower of wood chips.

At the bow of the ship, a giant cyborg, ten meters tall, with flesh and gleaming metal intertwined on his body, gripped a five- or six-meter-long iron hammer in his massive steel hands. He grinned, revealing a mouth full of serrated fangs, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and roared, "Get the ship closer to me!"

Chapter 388 Run over that fat bastard!

"Fire! Fire! Don't let the pirate ship get any closer!"

"Fire! Shoot!"

In the inner bay harbor, tens of thousands of naval soldiers were deployed along the coastline, holding flintlock rifles and rocket launchers, pulling the triggers at the oncoming pirate ships.

Dozens of coastal defense guns, distributed along the arc-shaped harbor, opened fire with a deafening roar, splashing waves across the sea.

Once a pirate ship is hit by a shell with an astonishing amount of explosives from the coastal defense guns, it will immediately have a hole three or four meters in diameter.

Smaller ships were even blasted in half by incoming cannonballs, along with the pirates crammed on board, and reduced to fragments.

Some large pirate ships could withstand a few hits.

Furthermore, these large pirate ships were often led by pirates with outstanding strength.

Therefore, some cannonballs would be shattered and exploded by the pirates on the ship from afar before they even got close.

The firepower that G1 Branch unleashed towards the bay at this moment was more than ten times that of the Buster Call.

In a short time, dozens or even hundreds of pirate ships on the vast inner bay were shattered by cannonballs and sank to the bottom of the sea.

In just a short time, at least five thousand pirates perished on their way to G1, before they could even get close.

"Katakuri-nii! If this continues, we'll probably have to pay the price of tens of thousands more before we even reach the island. Their firepower is too intense!"

Cracker, wielding his long sword, deflected an incoming cannonball with a single strike. He clapped his hands, creating a dozen burly biscuit soldiers who stood guard on the ship's side, shields raised high, and shouted at Katakuri, who was standing at the bow.

"Hmph! This sacrifice was part of the plan all along, little brother Cracker. Are you pitying those weak and dependent people?"

Owen, arms crossed, remained utterly indifferent, ignoring the sunken pirate ships and the cries and screams that occasionally reached his ears.

The plan to annihilate G1 was to use the pirates affiliated with the Four Emperors' crews as a shield for the attack, so that the main forces of the various pirate crews could smoothly enter the main battlefield and slaughter the marines on the island.

Therefore, the strategy for this attack was to distribute a large number of affiliated pirate forces around the outer perimeter of the fleet to withstand the navy's firepower.

To put it bluntly, those numerous pirates were nothing more than cannon fodder for the four major pirate crews.

“I didn’t mean that, Owen.”

"Then shut up! This battle plan was devised by Katakuri. Don't you trust Katakuri's brain?" Oven snorted coldly, making Cracker look ashamed.

Although Cracker is one of the four Sweet Commanders of the Charlotte Family, he has always respected his older brothers.

Katakuri, the jewel of the Charlotte family, is the most perfect man in everyone's heart, even though he is not the eldest son.

Strong, wise, steady, and extremely good to his family.

The man in front of them was respected and loved by all the members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Seeing Cracker lower his head in shame, Katakuri, who had been silent for a long time, opened his eyes and looked at the island a kilometer away.

"Don't worry too much about it. Compared to those pirates, family is the most important thing. Besides, even if the Navy has enough ammunition, the cannons will be overwhelmed by unleashing too much firepower at once. If we catch up with Drought Jack's ship, the Navy's encirclement will soon be broken."

Katakuri's tall and imposing figure, like a javelin, led the entire Charlotte family forward in a straight line.

"Pass down the order: even with a significant advantage, we cannot afford to be careless. Everyone must keep a close eye on the naval support forces. If anything seems amiss, immediately tighten the defenses. Destroying the New World's navy is important, but if we suffer too many losses for it, it will be a losing proposition. Mother agreed too readily."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Cracker quickly took out his Den Den Mushi and began contacting his brothers and sisters on the other large ships.

Ahead on the sea, charging at the forefront of the four major pirate crews is the Beasts Pirates, known for their ferocity.

Leading the charge of the Beasts Pirates was none other than the most headstrong mammoth giant, Jack the Drought.

After losing four limbs to a colossal sea king during his trip to Fishman Island, Jack, with the help of Queen, the chief scientist of the Beast Pirates, was transformed into a cyborg, half-machine and half-flesh, using the strongest metal.

His strength has not decreased but increased, becoming even greater than before.

"Lord Jack! The ship is severely damaged, and many parts are already leaking. If we get hit by cannon fire again, we may not make it to the port ahead!"

Behind him, the hot-bodied Gifter Kim Rami shouted anxiously.

"Yes! Lord Jack! Why don't we hold off for now, let those who have attached themselves to us act as our shields, and let them go first..."

Another Gifter, covered in sweat, rushed to Jack's side and shouted.

But before he could finish speaking, a large steel hand with only three fingers grabbed his head and lifted him off the deck.

Jack the Drought brought the terrified Gifter before him, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, and hissed:

"I told you, get the boat right here!"

"Yes...yes! I'll do it right away..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Gifter, who was trembling all over, was grabbed by the head by Jack and hurled at a cannonball flying in front of him.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Gifter's body flew out and crashed directly into the incoming cannonball, blasting him into a shower of blood.

Upon seeing this, the pirates behind them turned ashen-faced and dared not utter another word.

Jack grinned maliciously, his two Michelin tire-like mechanical hands coming together in front of him, aimed at the three coastal defense guns that were spitting fire directly in front of him.

A dazzling light shone in his palm, and with Drought Jack's sinister grin, a beam of light shot out from between his hands, instantly traversing a hundred meters of sea surface and striking the concrete wall beneath the roaring cannons at the harbor.

"Boom!"

With a burst of intense, blinding fire, an area of ​​thirty to forty meters in radius around the point where the laser beam struck exploded.

The two nearby coastal defense guns were also affected by the aftershocks of the explosion, and were shattered and collapsed.

The naval soldiers within this range were blown to charred fragments before they could even scream.

Jack, now even more excited after his successful strike, continuously compressed and tightened the springs on his two mechanical thighs. Then, with a loud bang, he rebounded, shattering the deck beneath him and propelling his massive ten-meter-tall body straight into the sky. Raising his enormous warhammer, he swooped down towards the densest part of the marine troop and crashed down heavily.

"boom!"

The warhammer struck the ground, and the earth within a radius of hundreds of meters trembled and roared.

A burst of bright red blood erupted from the group of marines at the forefront of the port.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a dozen naval soldiers who rushed up to try to stop Drought Jack were blown to pieces. The naval officers who roared and charged around them also struggled to maintain their footing under the shockwave and were slammed away by the violent blast.

"Drought Jack has broken in! Kill him! Kill him quickly!"

The naval officers deployed in the second layer of defense immediately roared and rushed forward, completely disregarding the blood and flesh scattered all over the ground, fearlessly swinging their swords at the ferocious-looking Drought Jack.

"A bunch of worthless trash, you'd all die!"

Jack the Drought, having abandoned his longsword and wielded a long-handled warhammer, was virtually unstoppable when he unleashed his fury.

In just over ten seconds, hundreds of naval soldiers died under his hammer.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

The blood splattered all over the ground suddenly gathered together, forming streams of flowing blood that rushed towards a certain spot, causing Jack, who was caught up in a bloodthirsty frenzy, to pause slightly in surprise.

He straightened up and looked at the rapidly flowing blood in front of him. He saw Shiryu, whose skin was as red as charcoal and who looked like a demon, smoking a cigar and letting streams of blood fly in from all directions and continuously rush into his body.

As the large amount of blood rushed in, Shiliu's charred skin quickly peeled off, revealing new skin and muscle.

Even the eyebrows and hair that had been lost grew back.

As more blood was injected, Shiryu's pores continued to overflow with blood, which in turn enveloped him.

His body continued to grow taller, and soon he reached five meters.

"call."

A puff of white smoke escaped from his mouth, and Shiryu grinned, reaching for his sword.

The demon sword Lei Yu's blood-red blade flashed and disappeared in the flickering light of mid-air.

The next instant, sparks burst from Jack's two steel arms, which were gripping the long-handled warhammer.

Two deep cuts appeared on the surface of a special metal that is harder than steel.

A horizontal gash burst open on his broad chest, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, flying towards Shiryu.

"Blood, I need blood." Shiryu grinned, laughing maniacally, his lower body transforming into a torrent of blood that propelled him skyward. He drew his sword and slashed at Jack's head. "Whether it's the enemy's or our own!"

"Ability user?"

Jack ignored his wounds, swung his massive warhammer, and slammed it down on Shiryu as he charged at him.

The massive hammer, weighing tens of tons, crashed down, shattering the air and striking Shiryu directly, sending him exploding in mid-air and turning into a shower of blood that rained down on the ground.
