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

Chapter 252 The Third Declaration of War

"By the way, what's going on with that guy Zhan Guo?!"

"Why do you keep stopping and starting?"

At the end of the navy fleet, the pirates who had been unable to figure out the specific situation due to lack of intelligence gradually began to get anxious.

They were all people who had become enemies with Wald because of his tyranny. Knowing that it was hopeless to take revenge on their own, and just when the navy showed its intention to join forces with them to eliminate Wald, they formed the current loose alliance.

Although they knew they might be used as pawns by the navy, these pirates were not fools.

They have always kept a close distance from the navy fleet to ensure that they can escape immediately if there is any disturbance.

But the current situation was somewhat beyond their expectations. After sailing with this group of navy for such a long time, Wald did not see any flying enemies, but they appeared one after another.

Although they were too far away to see the appearance of the people who attacked the navy, they could not ignore the scene of wind and thunder just now.

"Are these navy guys trying to trick us? I don't remember any flying creatures on that bastard Walder's ship."

"And the situation just now, with the wind and thunder, I'm afraid that Zhan Guo guy has some other plans!"

"Hmm~ I've heard from others that Zhan Guo is a mean-spirited guy. He weighs 200 pounds but has a 201-pound mind~ I think it's best for us to run away as soon as possible."

"Senior A Biao is right."

……

"Admiral, the people behind us reported that the pirates are becoming restless and seem to be planning to retreat."

The soldier in charge of liaison crawled all the way from the liaison room to the deck and reported to Zhan Guo.

"Hmm...it's really starting to get messy."

"Send the order and tell the pirates the truth about our situation. Tell them that Wald has died in the conflict with the Beasts Pirates, and Kaido himself is seriously injured and on the verge of death."

"We just fought against the Beasts' leaders and won a great victory. Now we are about to carry out the final cleanup of the remaining forces of the Beasts Pirates."

"General, this..."

The adjutant on the side still had some doubts. He felt that if the news of Walder's death was leaked to the pirates, they would most likely scatter and return to their homes.

"It's okay, just tell them the truth."

"Those pirates will make a choice that matches their status."

"Go."

"Yes!"

The messenger crawled back to the communication room again with skillful movements and delivered Zhan Guo's order.

……

"I'll just say it!"

"This kid Zhan Guo really has a hidden trick up his sleeve."

On several pirate ships docked together, the captains of the pirate groups were gathering to discuss the intelligence sent by Sengoku.

"But that bastard Walder actually died like that. It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes."

"Senior A Biao, should we go back now?"

"Go back, why?"

"With such a great opportunity, of course we have to go to the Beasts' territory and grab some! I heard that these guys have become extremely wealthy thanks to their recent arms dealings!"

"If what Zhan Guo said is true, then this place of Fenrir will be a no-man's land from now on. Whoever gets it first will own it!"

"What if it's a lie?"

"Then we should just turn around and run. We have the navy here anyway. I don't believe that the Beasts will leave the navy alone and come after us pirates."

"..."

Such conversations occurred repeatedly within the pirate fleet. Sengoku had a very good grasp of the psychology of this rabble; pirates were essentially a group of desperate men driven by their desires.

A piece of bloody meat was placed in front of the group of hungry wolves. Even if they knew it might be a trap, as long as one wolf stepped forward first, the rest would not be able to help but swarm over.

……

"General, those pirates are moving! They seem to be trying to bypass us and directly enter the territory of the beasts!"

"very good!"

"Let them explore the way for us first."

After standing on the deck for a while, Zhan Guo found that the sniper on the opposite side seemed to have no intention of continuing the attack. He must have realized that he was fishing, so he simply drove all the pirates he brought into the water like catfish, forcing the other side to take action.

"Everyone, keep hiding and don't show yourself...?!"

Before Zhan Guo could finish his reminder, he was forced to press the pause button because of the scene out of the corner of his eye.

On the sea, the two little creatures that were originally floating suddenly rose into the air, as if they were lifted up by two invisible big hands.

From their eyes that were already spinning around and their limbs swaying in the wind, Zhan Guo could be sure that Osi and the others were definitely still in a coma, and there really was some external force holding them up in the air.

[What on earth is this...huh?]
A beam of light shone on Zhan Guo's face, interrupting his thoughts.

Not only him, but everyone else also noticed the sudden ray of light and looked up.

And what pierced their eyes was - the second beam, the third beam... countless golden rays of light were like holy swords, cutting through the originally dull and oppressive dark clouds.

Then, these holy swords of sunlight gradually gathered together to form a light golden torrent, which broke through all the remaining barriers of the black clouds with an unstoppable force, cleansing the sky and revealing a blue that was purer than the sea.

It is bright.

Everyone tilted their heads, staring blankly at the scene that had suddenly changed the world... until they noticed the incongruous object floating above their heads.

It was a scarred and hideous fleet that was completely incompatible with the warm sunshine and the clear and pure sky.

"Fly, the flying fleet! It's the Golden Lion!!"

"Why is the Golden Lion here?"

Both the navy and the pirates below were instantly in a panic.

In the New World, Shiki the Golden Lion and his signature floating fleet are so famous that they are almost feared by everyone.

"No, that's not right."

"That's not the Golden Lion's fleet."

Zhan Guo, who had met Shi Qi many times, soon discovered the clue - the style of the flagship and the flag were wrong.

"Everyone, calm down."

"That's not the Flying Pirates' fleet, that's... the Beasts Pirates?!"

The answer was reasonable yet unexpected, and even Zhan Guo himself couldn't remain calm this time.

Hundreds of beasts, floating fleet, it seems that everyone can fly!
Just as everyone was in shock and panic about the Hundred Beasts Floating Fleet, a light voice rang out from the bow of the fleet's flagship:
"Hello, my dear guests."

The golden girl stood at the bow, looking down at everyone. Floating beside her were two small balls, one red and one blue, that had just been fished out of the sea.

"I wonder if you have entered my Hundred Beasts' territory without reporting it to me, but are you here to declare war?"

The familiar words reached Zhan Guo's ears for the third time, making him shiver involuntarily.

Although there were only less than ten half-damaged ships of the Beasts in the sky, and there were nearly forty intact warships left on his side, Zhan Guo did not feel at ease at all.

The feeling he had was like ten lions with bared fangs staring at a group of sheep that had entered their territory.

And he was just a shepherd holding a bamboo pole.
