Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 244 Declaration of War (5k)

Boom!
The heavy object fell onto the deck with a dull thud, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and the friction of chains.

Da da da!
Wow~

"Quick! Hold him down!"

"Where are the handcuffs? Put them on him quickly!"

Click~
"Damn it, let me go! Marine!"

The wounded Jin was thrown onto the deck by Zhan Guo, and then several naval soldiers immediately came forward to handcuff him.

"Stop struggling in vain, young man of the Lunaria tribe."

"These are handcuffs mixed with seastone fragments. As a user with special abilities, you can't break free."

After falling back onto the boat, Zhan Guo took the coat of justice handed to him by his adjutant and put it on again, saying lightly.

While struggling, Jhin had his hood pulled off and tried to raise his head, staring at him with his fierce eyes, but he could only see the other's pair of round-frame glasses reflecting the light.

"You're a bunch of running dogs of the World Government!"

"Mr. Kaido will definitely kill you all!"

"I will let you also taste the pain of our clan!!"

Ignoring Jin's insults, Zhan Guo simply waved his hand.

"Take him away first and assign someone to keep a close watch on him."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the two soldiers immediately grabbed Jhin and tried to drag him into the cabin, but he kicked them away.

Even though he was wearing seastone handcuffs and was completely exhausted, Jhin was no match for ordinary soldiers.

"Tsk! These pirate scum are such a nuisance!"

Seeing that the other party was still struggling, the dual-sword lieutenant general stepped forward and hit the wound on Jin's ribs with his scabbard.

Boom!
"Pfft!"

The intense pain caused by the broken bone made Jhin subconsciously kneel on one knee, covering the wound.

The physical defense of the Lunalia clan is indeed strong, but it is not without limits. At least before, Zhan Guo easily broke several of Jin's ribs.

But Jhin still did not stop resisting.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Seeing that the opponent still had some strength left, the lieutenant continued to hit the wound on Jhin's chest several times.

After completely knocking Jhin to the ground and making him unable to get up, he shook off the blood on the scabbard in disgust and put it back on his waist.

"Tsk! He's just a pirate, but he's really tough."

"You! Put another pair of shackles on him, drag him away, and send a few more people to watch him."

"Yes, sir!"

Several burly soldiers rushed forward upon hearing the order and pinned Jin down. Then another soldier came over with a thicker iron chain.

Wow~
The clattering sound of metal rubbing against each other echoed on the deck. Listening to the noisy sound behind him, Zhan Guo just frowned but said nothing.

His eyes were looking forward, and he always felt uneasy subconsciously.

The lieutenant general straightened his clothes and walked to the side of Zhan Guo, as if he wanted to say something... But when he saw the other party's serious face with a frown on his face, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"General, have the enemies appeared?"

Zhan Guo didn't look at him, but stared at a certain place in front of him, and said in an uncertain tone:
"I don't know, but...it seems like something is coming."

"Hmm? Things?"

The lieutenant general raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked forward curiously following Zhan Guo's gaze, but saw nothing.

"There's nothing ahead—"

!!!

Before the lieutenant general finished speaking, Zhan Guo's pupils suddenly widened, and his honed observation Haki finally caught something.

“He’s coming!”

"Everyone! Alert immediately!"

quick! too fast!
From vaguely sensing the other person's presence to being able to see the other person directly, only a moment passed.

The average general's observation Haki has no time to warn, the opponent's speed completely exceeds the limit of normal brain reaction!

At Zhan Guo's loud warning, everyone turned their heads and saw the surging waves at the limit of their vision in the distance.

That's the scene that only appears when something is flying close to the sea surface at super high speed. The high-pressure air flow directly separates the sea, and even due to the intense friction with the atmosphere, you can see the rising water mist.

This spectacular scene naturally caused exclamations from everyone on the boat.

"Oh! That's amazing, what is that?"

"Is it some kind of ship? It can actually create such huge waves..."

"How could it be a ship? This must be some kind of giant fish, maybe even a sea king."

Because it was too far away, the soldiers on the ship couldn't see the specific situation clearly and thought it was some kind of ship or fish.

There wasn't much nervousness in their tone, and they even had a bit of a mentality of watching the fun... After all, they were elite soldiers who had been following the general for many years, and they were much calmer than those new recruits who were often startled.

They are like tourists who think they are staying at a safe distance during an avalanche, but they don't know that the real natural disaster will come much faster, more terrifying, and more... devastating than they imagined!
……

The human body has a physiological lag in processing visual information.

Even when the distance is far enough, light has a lag... For example, when people look up at the stars, they only see what they looked like hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago.

Similarly, while everyone was still staring at the splashing wake several miles away, the real body of the sprinting meteor had already completely penetrated into their safe distance.

? !
"Ossie!"

Jin, who was biting the deck with his teeth to prevent himself from being dragged away, was the first to realize who was coming. He had seen this familiar scene countless times.

[Is it there?]
The second person to react was Zhan Guo, or rather, he was the first person to notice that Osi had rushed in front of him.

His observation Haki, which was concentrating fully, gave him a strong warning, telling him that the enemy was very close!

In Zhan Guo's perception, he seemed to see a flash of red light that was invisible to the naked eye.

call--

The sound of breaking air was heard.

A powerful Armament Haki instantly wrapped around his right arm, and Zhan Guo swung his fist at the location of the light at top speed. However, the opponent unexpectedly turned around his arm at that speed...

Light... is turning?

Time seemed to be stretched... Feeling his fist brushing past the other party, Zhan Guo's eyes widened.

At a certain moment, he saw a pair of golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through his soul looking at him.

call out--!
Bang!
Figures crossed each other and a punch flew into the air!
The admiral's iron fist hit the air, instantly creating an incredibly powerful shock wave that shook the warship violently.

Many soldiers on the ship lost their balance due to the sudden shaking and fell to the deck.

Wow~
The sound of chains shaking sounded overhead, attracting the attention of everyone still sitting on the ground.

"who are you?!"

Zhan Guo raised his head and asked after retracting his fist.

Because he was facing the sun, he could not see the other person's face clearly. He could only catch a glimpse of a few strands of bright red hair that seemed to be shining in the sun.

"Before asking for someone else's name, tell them your own name first. This is basic etiquette, round-headed uncle."

Osi, who gave the other person a nickname the first time they met, said so.

"cough!"

"Ossie, go!"

"The other party is a navy admiral, you are no match for him!"

"Mr. Kaido is in a very dangerous situation right now. We must first pull him out as quickly as possible..."

"Don't worry, Sister La is already cremating... ahem, treating Boss Kaido."

Looking at Jhin, who was being held by the collar and looked anxious, Osi gave him a reassurance.

"Yes, is that so? We're already here..."

"Huh~ That's good."

Although he didn't know how Burfat informed Ra, Jin finally relaxed his tense nerves after learning that Kaido had been treated.

"By the way, can you still fly? Why do you feel like you have no strength at all...were you drugged?"

He shook Jhin in his hand and felt that he was as weak as a piece of noodles. This made Osi think of the animals in the zoo that were shot with tranquilizer guns.

"They're seastone handcuffs. The navy mixed seastone into the handcuffs, and now I can't use my strength."

"Hmm? Seastone... sounds like a familiar name. I think I've heard it mentioned before~"

Swish-!
As they were chatting, a swift flying slash streaked across the sky, heading straight for Jin who was being carried by Osi.

It was the two-sword lieutenant general below who took action.

"Ok?"

He lifted up Jin's body, which was much larger than an ordinary person's, and slashed past Jin's feet. Osi looked down with dissatisfaction:

"Hey! Knife-wielding people, it's very rude to attack them while they're talking!"

"Are all of you navy people so poor in quality?"

"There's no need to be polite to pirates. You brat, you must be with the Beasts, right?" The vice admiral stared at Osei in the air with an unfriendly gaze, still holding his sword.

"You became a pirate at such a young age. It seems your parents didn't teach you well."

"Or are they pirates too?"

Crack——

A bolt of thunder suddenly struck the person who spoke rudely below, but was dispersed by a punch from Zhan Guo who was blocking the way.

He tore off the coat of justice he had just put on and threw it aside. He loosened his tie and lectured:

"I know you've been feeling aggrieved about what happened to Zefa, but I hope you won't bring this emotion into the mission."

"Also, never belittle other people's relatives at any time, even if they are pirates, Vice Admiral Meen."

"..."

"……Yes!"

As a lieutenant general promoted by Zephyr, Mien has always admired the man of great strength and firm conviction.

So after learning about "that thing", he ignored his colleagues' obstruction and broke into the prison where the murderer was held, wanting to kill those pirates directly on behalf of Zephyr.

But at the last moment, he was stopped by Zefa himself who rushed over after hearing the news.

He would never forget Zefa's expression at that time, and at the same time, he felt sincere admiration for the man in front of him who was still able to uphold his inner justice after experiencing such a thing.

Dan Zefa can always stick to his original intention, but he can't.

He could not forgive those pirates, those pirates who took away the people protected by the man he regarded as his idol.

Pirates, all deserve to die!

……

Without caring whether the other party truly understood or was just trying to fool him, Zhan Guoqi looked up at Osi, whose face had finally been revealed due to the previous movement, and asked solemnly:
"Well then... let's get back to the point."

"What on earth do you want to do here? [Underworld Princess] - Osiris."

……

"What?"

Hearing the other party's question, Osi shifted his gaze from Mien to Zhan Guo.

After staying on Sengoku's face for a few seconds, she shifted her gaze to the huge fleet behind him, which was composed of more than forty large and small warships composed of the navy and pirates... and then grinned.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

"They brought these idiot soldiers and invaded our territory without even saying hello."

"You... want to start a war with us?!"

The sky had become gloomy again since I don't know when. The dark clouds that had been dispersed gathered again, constantly rolling over our heads. There was even a faint sound of thunder in the dark clouds, which made it difficult for people to breathe.

"Little girl, the New World has never been anyone's territory."

"The sea area you occupy has never been recognized by the World Government."

"As the navy, our mission to eliminate pirates is a just act that does not require anyone's consent!"

Faced with Osei's aggressiveness, Sengoku, as the admiral of the navy, directly chose to suppress him with the power of justice.

But Osi obviously won't buy into the world government.

"Don't give me these big talk. I'm underage and can't bear to hear this."

"Now, I only give you two choices - either you go back to where you came from, and I won't charge you any mooring fees."

"Either..."

Suck~
Taking a deep breath, Osi declared loudly to Zhan Guo and the fleet behind him in a voice mixed with thunder and soul power:
"Today, all of you will stay here forever!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, thousands of thunders roared!
Several unlucky warships were instantly pierced by falling torpedoes and exploded into piles of sea garbage.

Countless people with weak soul power vomited blood and fainted on the spot at this moment.

……

The golden lightning illuminated Osi's delicate face, but there was no trace of the smile from before. Instead, there was only seriousness and undisguised anger.

Although there is no evidence, the fact that Kaido was almost sent to the underworld before was definitely related to these guys in front of him, as well as Jin who he just saved...

It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for these people who have been with me day and night since Osi came into this world.

Ossi has always been a straightforward person. If he likes something, he likes it. If he hates something, he hates it... If he is angry, he is angry.

When Zhan Guo saw Osi's brazen attack, his expression became even more serious.

[Unbelievable speed, the power to manipulate lightning, and even the domineering aura... These beasts are truly more troublesome than the last!]
[We can't let the other party attack any further!]
"Big Buddha Impact!"

Leaping in front of Osi, Zhan Guo stretched out his right palm, and a golden shock wave instantly burst out from his palm.

"careful!"

Having experienced the power of this move and having several bones broken, Jin quickly reminded.

"Don't worry, there's no way you can hit me at this speed."

Once again displaying his teleportation-like speed, Osi easily dodged the shock wave.

Swish swish!
The other naval officers were not idle either. The moment her figure appeared again, they attacked her directly.

After several more maneuvers to avoid the attacks of other generals, Osi asked, feeling somewhat annoyed:

"By the way, can't you remove those seastone handcuffs of yours? It's so troublesome holding you all the time..."

"No, this thing needs a key to open. And you are also a person with special abilities, you can't touch this—Hey! Ossi, what are you doing! "

Before Jin could finish his words, he saw Ossi put his hands directly on the seastone handcuffs...

"Lei Yejin!"

Stab ~

A dazzling flash of lightning passed by, and then Jin felt his arm loosen. Then the lightning flashed again, and Jin completely recovered his strength.

Casually throwing away the shackles that had been melted to pieces, Osi felt Jin's body tense up again, pointed at his bleeding chest and said:
"Leave this to me for now. You can fly back to find Sister La for treatment as well."

"No, this little injury won't affect my fighting at all."

"And you alone can't be their opponent."

Jhin was a little worried about leaving Osi here alone. Having seen the strength of the admiral, even though he had absolute confidence in Osi's speed, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen.

"Okay, stop pretending to be a tough guy. Don't you know how many bones you have broken?"

"Stop holding me back here."

"..."

"Okay, then you should be more careful."

Since Osi had said so, Jhin was not the kind of person who would bother with nagging. He simply flapped his wings and flew away.

"Don't think about it!"

"Big Buddha Impact!"

"Thunder Cannon!"

boom!
Zhan Guo, who had been looking for an opportunity, saw that Jhin actually wanted to leave, so he decisively tried to stop him, but was interrupted by Osi's instant breath.

"Sorry, your opponent is me."

Stretching out his scarlet dragon wings, Osi stood in mid-air as if walking on flat ground, blocking everyone's sight.

Feeling the gaze of those pale golden eyes, Zhan Guo couldn't help but frown, feeling deeply troubled.

If it was a head-on battle, he was confident that he could defeat the opponent within a few minutes.

But the current situation is that I am on the sea, and the other party can fly, and fly quite fast!

Just trying to catch Jhin had already taken all their strength... and Osi's speed and mobility were far superior to Jhin's. They hadn't even touched her yet.

Facing an opponent that has air superiority in a naval battle really puts them at a disadvantage in every way.

But if we leave it alone, the large-scale attack of thousands of thunders just now will destroy our fleet in just a few times!

Even before that, the pirates in the fleet might not be able to withstand the pressure and would scatter on their own, then flee in all directions and completely lose their morale.

"Tsk!"

"How come these guys from the Beasts Pirates can fly?"

The dual-sword lieutenant general named Mien clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then looked in the direction of Zhan Guo and slowly drew out the second sword from his waist.

"The Warring States General."

"Ah."

The two sides exchanged glances, obviously intending to repeat the same trick.

"Dual Blade Style: Sword Net!"

　I've been very busy at work lately and feel quite exhausted, so I took a day off.

　　Believe me, the author might skip a project, but it's highly unlikely.
