One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

A colorless blade flashed by, and a violent explosion rang out in the sky, causing the sailboats below to billow.

"Heh! Just kidding!" Shiryu sheathed his long sword, a cigar dangling from his lips, and blew out a puff of smoke as he glanced at the seawater splashed up by shrapnel around him and laughed.

Seeing their captain easily slice through the shell that emitted a deafening sonic boom, the combat personnel on deck immediately offered heartfelt praise.

"Captain Shiliu is too strong. That cannonball can sink a ship with one shot. Just now, it also shot down the eighth first mate into the sea, and his fate is unknown."

"Awesome! With Captain Shiryu leading us, we're sure to win the title of Pirate King!"

···

"Chopper, Jack, get on the explosives rock!"

"Yes!" the two replied in unison, releasing the metal cannonballs in their hands, opening the wooden box on one side, removing the cotton covering it, taking out the cannonballs, and stuffing them into the cannon barrel.

Click!

Usopp's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and the steel-forged wheel in his hand spun rapidly, while the thick muzzle slowly moved downwards.

Lock the turntable again!

"fire!"

···

"Again!"

Standing on the ship's railing, Blackbeard saw the cannonball coming from the sky with a white sonic boom again, and he stomped heavily on the deck and leaped up.

Black mist swirled in his hands as he watched the incoming bullet.

Dark tunnel!

Spiral black mist emerged from his hand, and a powerful suction force instantly arose from his fist. The metal projectile, which was originally about to fall into the ocean, changed its trajectory and flew towards the black hole in Blackbeard's hand.

"Pfft!" The suction force between his palms, upon impact with the cannonball, did not disappear into the dark space as expected. Instead, it carried a powerful impact force as it slammed into Blackbeard's fist. The intense impact instantly spread throughout his body, causing his blood to surge and uttering a muffled sound. He was forced to dodge, allowing the cannonball, still carrying momentum, to fall behind him.

Unbeknownst to them, the originally metallic shell emitted a slight metallic scraping sound, and neat, grooved cracks gradually appeared on its smooth surface.

Feeling the weakness in his hand, Blackbeard unconsciously touched the huge wound on his chest. The experience of being hit at close range by the malfunctioning Dark Water two years ago was still vivid in his mind, and a low roar came out of his mouth.

"Seastone! Doflamingo!"

"You think you can pierce our fleet with mere metal cannonballs? That's too arrogant." A pirate with a scar above his eye laughed loudly, his body suddenly transforming into a black bear form, his thick hands carrying a sharp gust of wind as he lunged directly at the oncoming cannonball.

Click! Click!

The violent impact shattered the metal shell that was about to break apart, revealing a purple stone inside that looked like a laughing goose egg!

When the explosive rock in the purple stone comes into contact with oxygen, a purple-red flame is instantly born!

It exploded with a bang in the huge bear's eye, forming a purplish-red mushroom cloud!

It instantly covers an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius, encompassing all seagoing vessels!

Rumble!

A violent explosion followed, echoing through the heavens and earth, and a white halo barrier instantly formed and spread towards the sky.

Countless clouds shattered and vanished into dust, instantly creating a giant crater hundreds of meters deep on the sea surface, giving rise to towering waves that surged into the distance.

"puck!"

Standing on the deck, Aokiji's lips twitched as he watched the violent explosion. As a former Marine Admiral, he naturally knew that it was the explosion of dynamite rock!

Only those crazy Straw Hat crew members would use this as a weapon in this place!

···

"The Blackbeard Pirates have been destroyed!" Violet, who had been standing and watching the distance, closed her eyes and slumped into her chair, panting heavily as she clutched her heart, which was pounding violently in shock.

It is unbelievable that such powerful artillery shells exist in the world; the shockwave generated by the explosion radius of 500 meters can directly destroy a team of tens of thousands of people.

The fact that she was involved in such a terrifying power, and that the simultaneous destruction of ten thousand lives into dust, was something she found hard to bear.

"Phew! What a terrifying effect! I really am a born sharpshooter. After six shots, the rifling will wear down, and the accuracy will change even more!" Usopp wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, leaned back against the metal backrest, and looked at the white semi-circular sonic boom barrier in the distance. The powerful calculation ability of several bullets was enough to make his head dizzy for a short time, and he didn't want to think about any problems.

"Abandoning the impact fuse, it is filled with a modified POP GREEN internal material. It grows gradually under heat stimulation, and even if the shell is caught, it will break through the explosive rock protective layer and explode within a certain period of time. In addition, the metal body made of sea stone powder is enough to withstand the capture of Devil Fruit users."

"Is it over? I wonder how many are left." Mabi held the Vivre Card that Hajrudin had given to Bucky the Joker in her hand, her eyes narrowed as she looked at the sonic boom layer in the distance.

"Mabi, do we have any more shells?" Sabo asked Mabi as they stood side by side, looking out at the distant sea after finishing his conversation with Eston.

“Yes, I’ll give you ten!” Mabi replied directly. She had about eighty left, so giving him a set wouldn’t hurt.

"By the way, did you find Hades?" Maggie suddenly remembered something and asked. She had felt something was off when Robin mentioned the Hades Cannon. She only knew that Hades' information would not refer to a cannon as the Hades Cannon. Even the document in Franky's hand was just a diagram of a weapon system that could rival Hades, not Hades' design.

unless!

She saw the real thing!

"···"

Sabo paused for a few seconds after being asked the key question by Mabi, and then let out a heavy breath.

"Yes, we have it, and it's under repair right now."

Chapter 273 The Battle of Dressrosa (Part 4)

Chapter 270 The Battle of Dressrosa (Part 4)

"Use it carefully!" Mabi gave the order and then fell silent. Hades was indeed a weapon capable of destroying the world, but in reality, it depended on whether the person controlling it wanted to destroy or save the world.

The cannons we built were about the same as theirs; neither was inferior to the other.

Eighty explosive rocks are enough to destroy any country on a small or medium-sized island, and to destroy nearly half of the kingdoms in the world, considering that the World Government only has more than 170 member states.

Destroying half a kingdom is no different from destroying the world!

"This is terrifying! What kind of weapon is this? Why don't we know about it?!"

"How many kilometers did that woman just report? The blast impact can even be seen here!"

"One hundred and two kilometers!"

The group of people stood together and looked around, wondering how someone could have hit the target from a distance of over 100 kilometers.

"Usopp! Usopp!" A group of dwarfs didn't care how powerful the cannonball was; they knew that Usopp was in charge of calibration, and that he was the one who hit the target with such a powerful shot.

One by one, they swung their tails and struck the steel parts, flying towards Usopp. In a short while, they were covered with tiny, thumping figures, their eyes gleaming with admiration as they gazed at Usopp.

"Haha! I am the strongest warrior on the sea. A hundred kilometers is nothing to me. In the future, I will be the one to conduct experiments over a thousand kilometers!" Seeing the admiring eyes around him, his boastful nature erupted again, and he let out a wild laugh.

"Huff, it's more chaotic than expected." Nami tossed her long hair, which was tied in a ponytail, and kept writing down the information she had just reported with a pencil in her hand. Without the help of her Devil Fruit ability, she could only rely on her eyes to observe and analyze the possible changes in the weather by referring to the surrounding weather.

After all, I am also one of the observers, and I need to provide accurate information to the gunner in a timely manner to locate and move the gun barrel.

"I wonder if Franky's telescope has been built yet. Having such a telescope would be much better for analyzing the weather," Nami thought slowly, biting her pencil.

"Your Highness Violet, how many members are left in the Blackbeard Pirates?" Maggie asked Violet after she had recovered her composure.

"Blackbeard?" Violet took a deep breath to calm herself, mentally conjuring up images of Blackbeard's past two years of island massacres and plundering.

They are enemies; it's either you or me.

If they are not killed, their own country will suffer another devastating blow.

In self-hypnosis, she once again perceived the situation in the distance. An ice ball appeared where it had been. As the ice ball shattered, the ship that had originally belonged to Blackbeard reappeared in her eyes. The pirate who had survived the explosion by using Armament Haki was also swimming in the ocean, heading towards the last ship.

"There is only one main ship left. All the other ships have been destroyed. There are only about a hundred people left, including Blackbeard."

“Okay!” Maby nodded to indicate that she understood.

Since they could withstand the explosion, the remaining members of the Blackbeard Pirates can be considered all the strongest members of the crew, so the cannons are no longer a significant threat.

All that's left is to wait for their arrival!

······

"Ace!"

When Luffy saw the giant ship appearing in the distance, he became extremely excited and stood at the bow of the ship, waving to the distance with a joyful expression.

At this time, the Thousand Sunny was anchored 5,000 meters off the island of Dressrosa, at the request of King Riku and Violet. The aim was to keep the battlefield in deep water to prevent the island from sinking due to impact and leaving the people with nowhere to live.

The king's treasury will be given as a reward afterward.

“Sabo! Look, it’s Ace! He’s a captain now, but I still have far fewer than other crews!” Sabo, with Luffy exposing his shoulder, smiled broadly as he looked at the short-haired man in a white cloak standing at the bow of the ship.

Now the three brothers are reunited and working together.

"Haha! Sabo, Luffy, it's been a long time! Luffy, you've gotten a lot stronger!" Ace's cheerful voice rang out from the bow of the ship, and dozens of Sea Kings responsible for pulling the ship leaped high into the air, splashing up waves.

Looking up at the small black dot appearing in the distance, Ace gently poked his cowboy hat with his fiery fingers and let out a cold, sharp voice. In just a few seconds, the sound filled the entire sea and reached everyone's ears.

"Teach! It's time we settled our score!"

"Hey ha ha ha! Ha ha! Straw Hat brat, bastard Ace, Doflamingo!" Blackbeard's furious voice rang out from a ship two kilometers away on the other side.

"I want all of your capabilities and fleet!"

Maureen held up a wave a hundred meters long and ten meters high with her hands as she moved them, and casually called out to Apis, "Here it comes, watch out."

"Okay, Little Wind, it's up to you now. Don't tarnish the name of the Wind Sprite." Apis pulled out a soft, light green ball the size of a fist from her bosom and smashed it hard against the rising waves.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The once calm sea was suddenly filled with howling winds, and the waves, which were as high as ten meters, rose several times higher, rolling into the distance under the blowing wind.

"Raging winds and waves! Do you think these waves can stop us? You bunch of brats who destroyed my fleet!" Shiryu smiled slightly, and in an instant, he drew a blood-red energy blade from his Thunderstorm and slashed directly at the oncoming giant wave.

The powerful slash created a V-shaped trench, and the sailing ship, now unimpeded, broke through the waves and soared into the air before plummeting down into the concave sea surface.

Ice Age!

Standing at the stern, Aokiji leaped up, his two icicles plunging into the waves behind him. The pure white icicles instantly appeared on the waves, solidifying into a giant iceberg, and the sea surface quickly froze into ice.

Maggie looked up at the pirate crew falling from the sky. The clear cracks on both sides of the ship came into view, and dozens of figures on the deck had ferocious faces, as if they wanted to devour all the lives below.

There were also familiar figures such as Shiliu, Van Oka, Lafayette, Basque Jot, and Doc Q. The tyrannical king, who originally belonged to his fleet, was killed by him and Garp in Marineford, while Catherine and San Juan were smashed into mincemeat by Kong.

The people appearing now are probably captains of evil forces gathered in the New World over the years, since it has always been rumored on the high seas that they enjoy capturing ability users.

As the ship drew closer, Maggie lightly touched the deck with her toes and leaped onto the lookout tower, standing on one foot at the very top of the mast. The black pirate flag tied to the mast fluttered in the wind beneath her feet as she shouted down:
