Chapter 239 The End of the Red-Haired Pirates?

On the Redfords,

The long, narrow sniper rifle barrel was covered in charred black. Yasopp's arms trembled slightly as he said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I've reached my limit and cannot continue firing for the time being."

Both Observation Haki and Armament Haki are very energy-consuming.

If it weren't for Yasopp's long-range sniping, which posed a huge threat to the Navy's high command, the pirate army would have been routed long ago.

"It's okay, Yasopp."

Beckman, puffing on a cigar with a furrowed brow, also suffering from serious injuries, said, "If we continue to be worn down like this, defeat is only a matter of time. We must break through the walls in one fell swoop."

He personally slaughtered fifty naval giants.

However, soon enough, simply promoting new Marines to the [Naval Headquarters] family will grant them a boost from the Level 2 [Giant's Power] badge.

A new naval giant has emerged.

That is,

The Red-Haired Pirates may appear to be facing two hundred Marine giants, but as long as the Marines' manpower supply continues, they are essentially facing an army of countless giants.

Let alone the Four Emperors, even if the Rocks Pirates from back then came, they wouldn't be able to fight a war of attrition against countless elite giant soldiers.

but,

Beckman's strength was simply insufficient to forcibly break through the naval formation and directly destroy the city walls using superior force.

Even the first mate of a pirate emperor,

But now we live in an era of cyclical games, where a player who redeems 50,000 reward points has the strength to rival themselves.

In the naval camp, there are four vice admirals with a net worth of 50,000 reward points.

Doflamingo, perched on the ship's railing, said with a sarcastic smile, "The mighty Red-Haired Pirates, we've been unable to make contact all this time. It's truly a huge disappointment."

Beckman frowned and said, "Heavens, all you do is offer sarcastic remarks?"

In the past,

Doflamingo didn't even have the qualifications to stand on the Redford, but now he is a top-tier fighter besides Hawkeye.

The Red-Haired Pirates had no choice but to temporarily cooperate with the other side to fight against the Navy.

"I'll hold off Smoker; the rest are yours."

Hawkeye's injuries gradually healed. He gripped the black sword Night tightly, his expression as cold as ever.

While potions can heal injuries, the energy depleted in battle is real. As top-tier players progress, the battle becomes increasingly a test of mental and willpower.

Hawkeye never imagined that he would lose in terms of willpower to an unknown naval captain before the appearance of the Reincarnation Game.

The battle soon broke out again.

"Gunners...fire!"

Hundreds of naval personnel are ranged attackers. There are archers wielding bows, gunners carrying rifles, and the rarer artilleryman.

Arrows rained down.

A chaotic mix of elven magic, undead, and elemental auras descended.

"I'll do it!"

Rem Jones, a combatant of the Red-Haired Pirates, leaped high into the air, his golden hair growing wildly, like a giant shield blocking all the arrows.

although,

The crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates were all players with strength close to the second tier, but they couldn't withstand the Navy's relentless attacks.

Lyme Jones landed back on the deck, panting heavily.

"I need to rest for a while."

"I'm panting," Lyme Jones said.

The ability to manipulate hair growth and its characteristics is a kind of awakened superpower.

Although its defense and attack power are amazing, it is extremely energy-consuming.

After the battle began, he kept releasing his superpowers, and his cells began to groan. Wrinkles, resembling those of old age, appeared on his face. These were the aftereffects of overloading his superpowers.

If he doesn't rest, he will die from cellular aging.

Having lost two major combat forces in succession,

The Red-Haired Pirates' offensive weakened, and the Navy seized the opportunity to swarm in. Several warships with decks filled with Navy soldiers surrounded the Redfus.

"Hawkeye, even if you beat me, you'll still be the loser in this fight."

Smoker's voice was icy.

The Poison General brandished his enormous weapon, leaving a trail of poisonous mist in his wake.

Hawkeye didn't speak, nor did he continue his powerful slashes. Instead, he gripped his black blade tightly, and his moves became more complex and unpredictable.

The endless alien world includes both high-level fantasy worlds and low-level martial arts worlds.

In some martial arts worlds, the essence is thin, and the strongest can barely lift a giant cauldron weighing thousands of pounds, unable to comprehend the divine power.

Therefore, he turned to studying the mysteries of techniques, striving to defeat enemies several times his size with the weakest possible strength.

"There are countless ways of swords in the world. Since I want to achieve the strongest way of swords, I can't just focus on those powerful sword techniques."

"Every sword technique is worth exploring."

Hawkeye remained expressionless, only continuing to swing his knife.

Each move only stirred up a faint emerald flame, yet it was enough to block the giant poison general.

"Damn it... there's no other way!"

At first, even though Hawkeye was trying to control his constantly erupting energy, Smoker felt even more pressure.

The two bottles of energy recovery potions, clear in color and resembling a galaxy, were consumed.

The energy level, which had already reached its limit, suddenly surged.

The giant poisonous general, which had been split in two by Hawkeye, had countless lotus root-like tentacles sprout from its wounds and then fused back together.

Smoker took a deep breath and said, "Reality is different from the cycle of reincarnation, Hawkeye, die!"

A game merchant who is like a god, capable of manipulating the boundaries of life and death.

However, it is very stingy, only granting the ability to revive on the game map. In reality, players are no different from ordinary people; they die when killed.

This move,

Smoker was very confident. He had originally planned to save it for his revenge against the Revolutionary Army leader, but now it seemed he would have to bring it out ahead of time.

"Five Poison Palm!"

With a loud shout from Smoker,

The giant poisonous general standing on the sea raised his palm, which gradually disappeared from his toes, then his legs, waist, and arms, with all the toxins flowing into his giant palm.

In the end, all that remained in the sky was a giant hand burning with crimson flames.

The Five Poisons Palm is a poison-based killing move from the world of [Feng Yun].

It requires constantly consuming five different types of poisons to cultivate. Each time a different poison is successfully cultivated, the power of the Five Poisons Divine Palm will increase exponentially.

Smoker has only mastered fire poison so far.

But it's enough to deal with the current situation. Even Hawkeye, who is also a top player, couldn't stop the Fire Poison Palm.

The fiery, poisonous palm slowly pressed down.

Hawkeye raised his head, a serious look appearing in his sharp, hawk-like eyes.

This move is no less powerful than the dragon-type Word of Power [Black Storm] that the revolutionary leader used to blow up Death Island.

To be able to unleash such power,

Only then can one be considered a truly top-tier player, at the peak of Tier 1.

But coincidentally.

Hawkeye has the same ability.

"Azure Flame Sword Technique - Ghost Soldier!"

The crystal-clear, jade-like flames burned wildly, emitting a chilling aura that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

The sword strike that previously shattered the Soul-Hooking Palace was an incomplete [Bull Head], containing only fragments of the aura of a Netherworld ghost soldier.

Now, it can unleash the full power of the Ghost Soldier.

Two peak-level first-tier powers collided.

The entire ocean became silent.

Countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the air, accompanied by a sound like a mirror shattering. The terrifying power of the poisonous flames and the azure flames even shattered space itself for several seconds.

Fortunately, otherwise all the innocent pirates and marines would have been swallowed up.

Even so,

The aftershocks also stirred up the entire battlefield, sending the Redford flying and tearing a crack in the sturdy family wall of the Marine Headquarters.

Countless pirates and marines were pushed into the seabed by the aftershocks, like cannonballs.

"Hawkeye, you've gone to such lengths for Shanks. It seems the rumors of your close relationship are true."

"I'm sorry, that's all for now."

The waves gradually calmed down.

Smoker had lost consciousness and was embedded in the city wall, covered in blood.

Hawkeye knelt on the wrecked deck of the warship, struggling to hold onto the hilt of his knife to keep his body from collapsing at its limit.

Just as Smoker said,

Although a winner was decided between the two, the Red-Haired Pirates were the ones who lost this great battle.

Along with the ship's first mate, Beckman, they were all captured by the navy, put in sea stone handcuffs, and had a [sealing talisman] made by a [talisman master] professional naval vice admiral.

Two hundred naval giants surrounded the exhausted Hawkeye, led by Vice Admiral Dalmesia, who wore a spotted dog hat.

"Arresting a member of the Red-Haired Pirates and the strongest swordsman of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea—it's unbelievable!"

The sailors looked excited.

On the high seas of the past, who would dare to attempt to arrest these infamous men? Everyone avoided them like the plague.

These masters from the old era will now be imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, becoming the first shot fired by the Navy Headquarters family to announce their existence to the world.

"Where's the redhead? Has he already run away?"

Dalmesia looked around but did not see Shanks.

If they fail to capture the captain, their credit will be diminished.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Adventurers may run away, but they will never abandon their companions."

"I heard you guys were looking for me?"
