I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 217 The Endgame
"Warring States?"

As the Warring States period saw the crane, the crane also saw the Warring States period in the distance.

Distant memories begin to surface.

However, the six months spent at the Naval Academy felt like a blur compared to the six years spent with the White Wolf Pirates.

She still remembered the disheveled man in front of her wearing a naval vice admiral's cloak, which was a testament to her good memory. After all, they were just students in the same class, and they had to deal with a lot of homework every day. Even if they were acquaintances, they would often only chat for a few words after training.

The gap between female and male soldiers is quite large.

So Tsuru only glanced at Sengoku and didn't look at him again.

In the past, they shared similar goals.

But by today, everything has changed. She has made her choice and will not hesitate any longer.

What's more.

Wasn't this the choice that the Air Force General made her make?
Tsuru was focused on the battle between Sora and Rona. The higher level of combat was beyond her reach. Among her fellow crew members, her growth rate was not fast. She was still stuck on mastering the advanced application of Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Later on, she spent more time managing the daily affairs of the White Wolf Alliance than training.

However, Monger's promise remains valid.

He found her a good fruit!

Logia-type Devil Fruit - Wind-Wind Fruit!
At first, it only transforms into a gentle breeze, but later it grows into a storm, and eventually it can create several tornadoes hundreds of meters high out of thin air.

Even for Munger, finding a Logia-type Devil Fruit on the high seas is no easy feat; it requires no skill and is purely based on luck.

After all, the Wind-Wind Fruit is one of the top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruits, and it is recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. It is a top-tier fruit that will cause countless people to fight over it as soon as it appears.

However, this is contingent on being recognized.

Although a Devil Fruit encyclopedia exists on this ocean, not every pirate is qualified to even glance at it.

Most pirates never see a Devil Fruit in their entire lives.

Not to mention seeing a Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

Monger is obviously not included in this category.

Finding the Wind-Wind Fruit was purely by chance. Previously, the top-tier fruits in Mung's possession were mostly obtained through system rewards. This time, however, he stumbled upon it while integrating pirate crews in the New World, in a pirate crew's hideout.

The leader of that pirate crew probably didn't even consider whether or not to eat that Devil Fruit.

Devil Fruits offer significant advantages to ordinary people.

However, for a powerful pirate, they would not eat a strange fruit with unknown abilities unless absolutely necessary.

If the ability is mediocre and the improvement is minimal, and you even lose the essential swimming ability for pirates, thus gaining another weakness, then it would be a net loss.

Therefore, the White Wolf Alliance has collected quite a few Devil Fruits over the years, but this Wind-Wind Fruit was a completely unexpected surprise.

As far as Monger knows, the World Government is also collecting powerful Devil Fruits.

Even if they don't eat them, they'll still collect them.

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept across the entire battlefield. It was a favorable wind for the White Wolf Alliance, but a headwind for the World Government.

"Damn it, where did that weird wind come from?"

"The shells can't even be fired!"

"Damn it, enemy shells! Take cover!"

"."

The two fleets had closed to within two kilometers of each other, a distance at which even artillery of this era could attempt to fire.

Anyway, there are so many ships at sea now, you might just hit a few by guessing.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Tsuru was ignoring him, Sengoku couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but what he had to face first was the bombardment from the White Wolf Alliance's fleet.

In response, Sengoku had no choice but to use his Devil Fruit powers.

"Big Buddha!"

A golden Buddha statue materialized on a warship belonging to the Warring States period. The Buddha reached out and slapped the ship, instantly triggering a powerful shock that sent all the incoming cannonballs flying.

After the attack, Sengoku calmed down.

This is a battlefield, not a place to indulge in personal feelings. Crane is a spy for their navy. If he makes contact with Crane rashly, it will only lead to Crane's exposure.

The crane must be looking for an opportunity too!

With this thought in mind, Sengoku stopped worrying about the crane and focused on fighting the White Wolf Alliance fleet. Although he was weaker than Garp in terms of Haki development after his Devil Fruit awakened, his overall strength was not much different from Garp's.

Even the greatest pirates wouldn't be enough to stop him.

Only members of the White Wolf Pirates!

"The Warring States Period of Buddha? I've heard of you."

A voice rang out from a distant ship. Sengoku turned his head and saw a young man with purple hair appear on the ship.

Upon seeing the purple-haired youth, Sengoku's expression hardened.

"The White Wolf Pirates' second-generation apprentice!"

Based on the time they joined the White Wolf Pirates, the Navy divided the crew members into veteran crew members and first and second generation new crew members.

The new crew members of the first generation, such as Rocks and Newgate, are already well-known legendary pirates. Their strength is so great that even the Marine Admirals may not be their match, second only to the White King Munger.

Of the new crew members in the second generation, the only one who is relatively well-known is Shiki the Golden Lion, but the ability of the Float-Float Fruit has always been feared by the Navy.

Compared to these figures, the purple-haired youth before them seemed rather unknown.

Compared to the members of the White Wolf Pirates.

He's more like that traitor to the Navy, a member of the new Navy formed by Scarlet Serpent Rona, and quite famous among pirates.

Black Arm Zephyr!

Just from his name, you can tell that he is a top-notch physical fighter, skilled in domineering energy, and not an opponent to be underestimated.

When Sengoku and Zephyr looked at each other.

Several warships from the World Government and the White Wolf Alliance have already collided.

On this vast sea, guns can only damage ships; to inflict effective casualties, boarding maneuvers must be employed.

The hull approaches, the planks are placed on board, and then they board.

With the boarding action breaking out, the entire battlefield descended into chaos.

Monger's Millennium Falcon also collided with Im's ship, but Monger and Im had already started fighting long before the ships even boarded each other.

The two men's battle was not limited to the ships at all.

With its fleshy wings spread behind it, Im floated in mid-air like a demon, exuding a terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

Monger was equally unyielding.

Although he cannot fly, at their level, even if he uses Moonwalk to stay in the air for a long time, he will not feel tired at all.

So the two of them completely ignored the fleet below them and went straight up to the clouds.

Then there are Lox and Newgate.

Their pirate ships collided with Im's flagship, and the four large ships instantly merged together, becoming a considerable battle platform, and a two-against-six battle erupted in an instant.

"That's strange, Lipley, why don't they want my help?"

Lingling was already on the Millennium Falcon when the ship docked, and she wanted to rush onto it immediately, but the two of them stopped her.

"This is our battle, we have no need for your interference!"

That's why Lingling asked Lipley with a frustrated look, "Is it... a man's pride?"

Lipley scratched her face, wondering why the two of them were working so hard.

After all, in terms of the number of top-tier combatants.

They are in no way inferior to the World Government. Even if Linlin were to go and help, they could still handle the remaining enemies.

"coming!"

The fifth ship belonged to the Navy. After seeing Im's flagship under attack, Admiral Ortega rushed to the scene immediately.

The moment Lingling saw Ortega, her eyes lit up.

"Lipriy, leave this guy to me!"

"Okay, be careful!"

"Hehe, although this guy seems a bit stronger than the others, he's still no match for me!"

Compared to her mastery of Armament Haki, Linlin's mastery of Observation Haki was not high; it was just enough to foresee the future.

In contrast, although Ortega does not possess Conqueror's Haki, he is a top-tier user of both types of Haki. In terms of mastery of both types of Haki, perhaps only Monger can surpass him.

However, no matter how high your level of mastery of sight and hearing is.

"Eat my Sense-Sensing Kill!"

Lingling picked up a large machete and slashed at Ortega. What almost made Ortega turn green was that he actually felt Conqueror's Haki from the machete.

Even the domineering aura stored in the machete was suppressed the moment it was released, causing his mind to go blank for a moment, and he didn't even notice Lingling's actions.

By the time he realized what was happening, Lingling's knife was almost about to strike him.

"Iron Block - Extreme!"

Ortega didn't want to use the iron block either, but he had no other choice.

Who knew that Lingling wouldn't play by the rules at all.

She knew very well that the Haki stored in her cleaver was only for one use, and once it was used up, it was gone. Although her physical strength was stronger than Ort's, her Observation Haki had always been her weakness.

She could fight with Munger for a whole day and night because Munger was willing to fight with her.

If Monger is unwilling.

She might not even get to touch Munger once from beginning to end.

Therefore, before going into battle, Monger deliberately sealed a bit of Conqueror's Haki onto her sword, just for this moment of surprise.

A sly glint flashed in Lingling's eyes as she watched Ortega prepare to defend himself.

Her slash was just a feint.

Despite being almost three times the height of Ortega, Linlin's movements were terrifyingly agile. Her sword was imbued with Monger's Conqueror's Haki, but her true attack lay elsewhere.

Lingling also possesses Conqueror's Haki and can use it to entangle.

Mong's domineering aura is, after all, just Mong's domineering aura.

Although she was able to release it, she could only temporarily suppress Ortega's Observation Haki and could not cause much damage.

So her real killer move is—

"watch out!"

After feinting with her sword, Lingling suddenly enveloped her feet in Conqueror's Haki and kicked Ortega from a distance.

The combination of Conqueror's Haki and the terrifying power from Linlin was so overwhelming that even with Iron Body defense, Ortega almost fainted.

But it's not over yet.

After Lingling kicked, she gathered her cleaver again and made a swinging motion like she was swinging a baseball.

The air was compressed in that instant.

"Hegemony!!!"

boom!
After a series of attacks, Ortega almost became the first general-level powerhouse to be taken down in this great battle.

The reason it's "almost" is...

"It seems like a lot of people will die in this battle!"

A griffin carried Ortega, who had nearly fallen into the sea, back onto the ship. With his hands gone and a large part of his body missing, Ortega managed a weak smile.

"Who knows how White Wolf Monge managed to train so many top-tier experts?"

The attack, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, hindered Ortega's recovery. However, Ortega was, after all, a top-tier Haki user. In the few breaths that Linlin hesitated because of the griffin's appearance, he forcibly dispelled Linlin's Haki with his own.

At the same time, the damaged body recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That's right.

Following Stephens and Glindwin, the two heads of the CP organization, Im also signed a contract with some high-ranking members of the Navy.

Therefore, not only Ortega, but also the two remaining admirals of the Navy, Sora and Hines Oran, have signed contracts with Im.

Sora, who was fighting Rona, was caught off guard and was slashed by Rona with a deep wound that exposed the bone. However, Sora's face showed neither sadness nor joy, because the wound was healing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Seeing this, Rona's eyes dimmed.

"Sora, is this your choice?"

Although in Rona's eyes, Sora was just a somewhat clumsy junior, Rona still admired Sora's persistence in upholding justice.

However, since Sebastian's death, Sora seems to have become increasingly extreme.

Until now.

He abandoned his pride and chose to accept charity from others.

"It's worth it for justice!"

Kong's gaze was firm, but at this moment, the way he looked at Rona was no longer that of a former colleague or an object of his admiration.

Rather, they are the enemy!
"Yeah."

Rona fell silent, and her gaze toward the void gradually turned cold.

"Then go to hell!"

If it were the old Kong, Rona might have considered bringing him into her new navy, but now Kong has gone to extremes.

Then the only way is to fight to the death!
Meanwhile, on the other side, there is a battle between the great swordsman of Wano Country, Takiichi Amagi, and Marine Admiral Hines Oran. They were rivals during the Battle of Acropolis Port.

They remain enemies.

Behind Takiichi Amagi were five thousand newly trained samurai from Wano Country.

Their strength may not be considered very strong.

But in this war, they were at least not cannon fodder.

The reason why Wano Country joined the war is quite simple.

They want to help their fathers find liberation!

After the Knights of God attacked Wano Country, they took away a large number of Wano Country samurai. Although these Wano Country samurai did not appear in the port of Akroppolis, they did not miss the battlefield in front of them.

The Wano Country samurai, already corrupted by Im, committed massacres the moment they stepped onto the battlefield.

And their opponent is—

The giants of Elbaf!
