I collect everything in the One Piece world.

Mosen's gaze fell on Creek's extravagant gold armor. He raised an eyebrow and asked in a tone as if he had seen something rare and unusual, "Hey, big guy. Is that outfit made of pure gold?"

This unexpected problem brought the tense and solemn atmosphere on the deck to a standstill.

Not only was Krieg stunned, but Arkin behind him also frowned, and the surrounding pirates looked at each other, not reacting for a moment.

The first thing they said after boarding was that their admiral's armor was made of pure gold?!

What the hell is this?!

Crick's facial muscles twitched, a surge of anger mixed with a sense of absurd disdain rising within him.

He is the overlord of the East Blue, a pirate admiral with a bounty of 15 million Berries!

This reckless fellow blocked his cannon fire, blew up his figurehead, jumped onto his flagship, and then the first thing he did was to ask about the material of his armor?!

"Arrogant brat!"

Krieg's voice was like a muffled thunderclap. He slammed his battle lance heavily onto the deck, the golden armor rattling with his movement: "Are you courting death?!"

Mosen seemed oblivious to Krieg's anger, continuing to examine the armor with interest: "It looks pretty shiny, it must be quite heavy, right? Won't it get in the way when you're fighting?"

"You!" Krick was completely enraged by this blatant mockery. He roared and stopped talking nonsense. His huge body charged forward, and with his heavy golden armor, he was like a human tank.

He brandished the equally enormous "battle gun" in his hand and slammed it down hard at Morsen!

"Die! You arrogant brat!"

The powerful guns were heavy enough to smash a hole in the deck of an ordinary ship.

Faced with this ferocious attack, Mosen merely chuckled, neither dodging nor avoiding it. He even had time to turn back and shout to his own ship, "Robin, Bakala! Time to clear out the minions! I'll keep this glittering armor for myself!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already moved. With a simple sidestep, he narrowly avoided the full force of the great spear's strike.

"Boom!" The battle gun slammed onto the deck, sending wood chips flying and leaving a deep crater.

Just then, Morsen suddenly closed in on Creek, his long sword instantly drawn and slashing towards Creek's neck.

"Pfft!"

Creek felt a chill on his neck, and before he could react, the world spun around him, and he found himself falling to the ground.

Strangely, he could see his body still standing there, with blood gushing from his neck.

"I'm just going to die like this?!" Creek's thoughts grew increasingly sluggish until they turned to complete darkness.

Morsen flicked the blood off his knife, then flicked his fingers at the still-standing body of Krieg and his golden armor, shaking his head with some regret.

"It's a pity it's not pure gold." He paused, then added, "But it looks quite nice, and it's a decent collectible. It should be fine as a decoration."

Mosen spoke as casually as if he were discussing the weather, but the content of his words sent a chill down the spines of Akin, who was not far away, and all the pirates who heard him.

How can this guy be so strong!

"Attack together! Take him down!" Akin was both shocked and furious, roaring as he called to the pirates around him, preparing to launch an attack together.

But when Mosen turned around slightly, the pirates around Akin instinctively took a few steps back, their eyes filled with terror.

Akin's heart sank to the bottom. He knew their morale had completely collapsed.

The black-haired youth before them was someone they were simply no match for. Krieg's death had shattered everyone's will to fight.

Mosen's gaze finally landed on Akin, as if he were examining a... somewhat special item.

“Ghost Man Akin, right?” Mo Sen said calmly, “A bounty of ten million is not bad.”

Cold sweat beaded on A's forehead. He knew he was no match for them. But as the last pillar of the Krieg Pirates, he couldn't back down, much less surrender!

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!" Ajin roared, suppressing his fear, gripping his unique cane weapon tightly with both hands, and charging towards Mosen with all his might! He was going to fight to the death!

As he watched Akin rush towards him, Mosen merely tilted his head slightly, as if observing the other's movements.

Then, the instant Akin entered the attack range, Mosen's figure disappeared before him.

In the next instant, he appeared to Akin's side and behind, still wielding the same Snow Walk sword, still delivering a simple and direct slash, still targeting the neck.

A Jin felt a chill on his neck, and all his strength was instantly drained. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

With just two strikes, Admiral Krieg, the pirate captain of the East Blue, with a bounty of 15 million Berries, met his end.

The strongest subordinate under his command, "Demon Man" Akin, was executed with a bounty of ten million Berries.

The deck was deathly silent. The only sounds were the sea breeze rustling the flags and the distant noises and sounds of fighting from other ships—Robin and Bakala were clearing out the smaller fish.

Mosen twirled his sword, looked at the trembling pirates who were kneeling and begging for mercy, then at the corpses of Krieg and Arkin, and the blood-stained golden armor.

"Hmm, not bad haul." He muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips. "Nami will be very happy to see this bounty."

After seeing Mosen kill Krieg and Arkin with lightning speed, the Krieg Pirates' will to resist completely collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, Mosen, Robin, and Bakara swept away the pirate core members on the flagship who were trying to resist or escape, just like autumn leaves in the wind.

The pirates on the other ships were terrified after witnessing the fall of the flagship and the tragic deaths of the two leaders; they dared not resist.

Many pirates were so terrified that they abandoned ship and jumped into the sea, preferring to risk their lives in the vast ocean rather than stay on the ship to face the three devilish men and women.

For them, jumping into the sea might mean a slim chance of survival, but staying on the ship would definitely mean certain death!

Soon, Mosen and his two companions finished their "cleaning" work and returned to their own boat.

The deck was piled high with spoils looted from the Cricket's flagship: crates of baileys, gold and silver jewelry, weapons, and Cricket's iconic golden armor.

However, at this moment, it was disdainfully set aside by Mosen, who planned to thoroughly clean it before collecting it.

Nami was already impatient. She might not be good at fighting, but sorting and counting were her forte and her greatest interest!

She pounced on the pile of treasure, her eyes gleaming, and began sorting it away with lightning speed, muttering calculations of its total value as she did so, her smile brighter than the sun.

Mosen also rummaged around with great interest, looking for any trinkets that he could use to decorate his future "collection room".

Although his personal ship is still under construction in Water Seven, it doesn't stop him from stockpiling collectibles in advance.

Bakara excitedly shared with Nami which items she had found by sheer luck and which looked the most valuable.

Robin sat quietly to the side, sipping tea and watching this scene full of life, a faint smile on his lips.

However, just as the group was immersed in the joy of this "harvest",

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a denser, louder barrage of artillery fire, with a flatter and faster trajectory, erupted from another direction!

Several shells whistled through the air and headed straight for their ship!

Chapter 78, Naval Attack, The Flexible-Tailed Rat Colonel (Seeking First Subscription!)

Mosen's eyes narrowed, and almost instinctively he raised his hand. Several semi-illusory pages instantly appeared, collecting the incoming shells as stickers.

This bombardment, in terms of rate of fire, power, and trajectory, was completely different from the chaotic bombardment of the Krieg Pirates earlier. It was clearly more professional, more precise, and had stronger firepower!

He looked in the direction from which the shells came and saw several warships flying flags with seagull symbols on the sea.

They were lined up in a row, their dark cannon muzzles all pointed in their direction.

This reminded me of the information I had just extracted from the collapsed members of the Krieg Pirates.

"Recently, the navy has been chasing pirates around like mad dogs, and many have been driven to this area."

A general outline quickly took shape in Mosen's mind.

From the very beginning, the Navy's seemingly active operations targeting pirates were probably not aimed at those small-time pirates, but at him!

These pirates are nothing more than cannon fodder and expendable resources that have been driven here by humans.

"Heh..." Mo Sen's lips curled into a smile, a hint of understanding and mockery flashing in his eyes. "I see. How interesting."

"But how are they so confident they can take me down? Who gave them the courage?"

……

Meanwhile, on the naval flagship.

Colonel Mouse held a steaming cup of coffee, sipping it slowly, a relaxed expression of confidence on his face.

Looking out the porthole at the ship surrounded by the Krieg Pirates' fleet in the distance, and at his own well-armed warships, he felt a surge of satisfaction.

"Aim! Aim, all of you!" he ordered the messenger. "Those pirate scum can wait, but that collector Morsen's ship is a priority! Keep the ammunition plentiful! We must sink it in these waters today!"

He went all out today, mobilizing almost all the warships he could command in the nearby waters, and preparing an exceptionally large amount of ammunition.

According to his plan, when Mosen and the pirates were exhausted and both sides were severely wounded, his warships would suddenly appear, ostensibly to "annihilate the pirates" but in reality to "kill them to silence them."

After several rounds of saturation bombardment, no matter what kind of Shichibukai killer you are, once the ship sinks and you fall into the sea, it's the death of the Devil Fruit user!

Tsk tsk, this is the perfect combination of using someone else to do your dirty work and kicking someone when they're down! I'm such a genius!

Just as he was fantasizing about whether he could use this achievement to climb the ranks, a naval soldier rushed over in a panic.

"Report, Colonel! On the sea... there are many pirates swimming towards our warship!"

"And...and our shelling doesn't seem to have much effect on that target ship!"

"What?!" Colonel Rat paused, his hand holding the coffee cup still, his brow furrowing. "Pirates are swimming towards us? The artillery fire had no effect? ​​What does that mean?"

He put down his coffee cup, strode to the ship's side, picked up his binoculars, and looked toward the battlefield.

Then he saw a scene that left him speechless.

The Krieg Pirates' fleet, which should have been engaged in a fierce battle with Mosen, was now in complete chaos.

Many pirates, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, jumped into the sea in terror and swam desperately toward him.

A large group of pirates had already swum more than halfway across before them and were getting closer.

The look of utter terror on their faces, as if they'd seen a ghost, was clearly visible even from a distance.

Even more bizarrely, the cannonballs he ordered to be fired could still cause explosions and splashes when they landed in the Krieg Pirates' fleet, but once they were fired at the target ship, they would disappear into thin air without a sound, just like a stone sinking into the sea!

At the same time, the target ship was not suppressed by the gunfire. Instead, it went full speed ahead, adjusted its course, and charged straight toward the flagship where he was. Its bow cut through the waves with an indomitable momentum.

"Help! Navy officer! Pull us up!"
