Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 166 Fruit Awakening?

The G-5 branch, with its six squadrons and a total strength of over 2000 men, instantly leveled the tide of battle once they joined the fray.

"Take down the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Men, take down the navy!"

The two sides roared and fought each other in a chaotic melee.

The center of the battlefield.

In his werewolf form, Yamato leaped into the air, his chest bulging high, and icy air condensed in his mouth.

"Musou Ice Fang!"

A pillar of freezing air shot out!

"Get out of the way!"

The captains sensed the danger and shouted as they fled in both directions.

"boom!!!"

After the violent explosion, the area within tens of meters was frozen solid, with a giant, blooming ice spike flower at the center.

"hiss--!"

The captains gasped as they looked at the enormous, chilling ice flower. Had they been touched by the freezing air, they would have suffered more than just injury.

This little girl is absolutely a monster!

"Hahaha, you guys are amazing!"

Yamato laughed heartily, feeling an inexhaustible flow of power surging within him—a feeling he had had ever experienced since leaving Onigashima.

Today, facing a host of formidable enemies, the fearless battle allowed her to finally unleash the full power within her!

"Bang!"

A white silk ribbon resembling flames suddenly appeared on Yamato's body.

At the same time, Yamato's wild characteristics were further enhanced, with sharper teeth and limbs that were more like those of a white wolf.

Ookuma Shinjin: Awakened Form!

"They've even mastered awakening?!"

The captains surrounding Yamato were dumbfounded.

There's no mistake, the girl's current appearance is the awakened form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user!

She was already incredibly strong, like a monster, and now she has the trump card of awakening. Where did this girl come from? Why have I never heard of her before?

Could it be the Navy's hidden trump card?

"Awakening? What's that?"

Yamato scratched her head. She wasn't quite sure what had happened to her, but she could feel her physical strength increase once again, and by a lot.

Never mind!

Yamato grabbed his spiked club with both hands, fixed his gaze on one of the captains, bent his knees, and prepared to strike.

"boom!"

The ground beneath our feet is cracking and splitting!

Captain of the 13th Division, "Buffalo" Atmos, felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he was being targeted. His muscles tensed instinctively, and he raised his massive twin swords to block the attack.

The next moment, a spiked club crackling with lightning appeared before them.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

With a "crack," the twin swords shattered!

The spiked club slammed into "Buffalo" Atmos!

Blood spurted out!

"buffalo!"

Only then did the other captains who were besieging Yamato react, looking at the water buffalo lying heavily on the ground, unconscious, and were horrified.

That's incredibly fast!

"Captain Buffalo has been defeated!"

On the other side of the battlefield.

"buffalo."

Marco looked away and turned to the black-haired man.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

As the captain of the first division, he took the initiative to approach the black-haired man.

"That girl is one of your subordinates, isn't she? It's strange, why is your subordinate stronger than you, her boss?"

"."

Loya's face twitched.

You bastard, how can you chat like that!

However, Yamato is indeed stronger than him at the moment. Not only has he inherited Kaido's powerful physique, but he also has Conqueror's Haki, plus the formidable strength of a Mythical Zoan.

It's a setup that's exactly what the Four Emperors have done.

And just now, my ability actually awakened!

Is it really necessary to be so casual? Wasn't it agreed that awakening is only possible when the mind and body match the ability?

Come to think of it, that girl's personality and her abilities seem to be quite compatible. Even without today's battle, she could have awakened on her own in an environment like Ghost Island.

Ha, he wasn't envious at all.

Loya looked up at the sky, tears welling in her eyes.

"Don't just stand there, Navy."

Marco interrupted Loya's envy and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose in coming all this way to the New World?"

"Purpose."

Loya composed himself and said calmly, "We came here to pursue Fire Fist Ace."

Stop lying!

Marco looked incredulous. Was it really worth the Navy going to such lengths, even risking war, for a mere newcomer?

Do you think he's stupid?

Believe it or not.

Loya shook his head slightly.

He has no desire to fight now, mainly because fighting Marco is boring. They exchanged a few blows briefly just now, and Marco didn't even break a scratch.

It's uncertain how long it will take to determine a winner, and there's a high probability that I can't outlast Marco.

In addition, Marco's fighting spirit was not strong, and he did not use his full strength in the fight against him, but rather tried to stall him.

Ultimately, the two sides haven't reached the point of completely breaking off relations yet, and Whitebeard is unlikely to easily reveal his true intentions.

Loya, with Marco's face on his back, picked up a Den Den Mushi to contact his subordinates.

"A ceasefire for now!"

"clear!"

Upon receiving the order, the naval forces immediately abandoned the enemy and retreated in an orderly manner, regrouping at the edge of the battlefield.

Squadron 11 and G-5 had poor discipline, but they were still better than the pirates, and they executed Loya's orders very well.

The Whitebeard Pirates did not give chase. With the forces of both sides close, the captains found it difficult to quickly eliminate the opposing leader, especially the monstrous werewolf girl.

Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction.

Loya and Marco did not retreat, but remained in the center of the battlefield, with officers and captains gathering behind them.

"Loya!"

Yamato moved closer to Loya, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"They're amazing!"

"Yes, that's really impressive."

Loya looked at the captains. Several of them looked disheveled, especially Captain Water Buffalo of the 13th Division, who needed his companions to help him stand.

Yamato beat them all up by himself.

Their own situation wasn't good either; Smoker and Tina were both injured, making it a bit much to ask them to face the captain.

However, this experience should accelerate their growth and help them reach their full potential sooner.

And our comrades from branch G-5, if it weren't for their timely support, it would have been really dangerous just now, the main warships wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

"Lieutenant General Maynard, thank you."

"hehe."

Maynard, a cigarette dangling from his lips, had a somber expression.

He suddenly realized something: he was clearly a vice admiral, the highest-ranking naval officer present, so why was he standing behind Loya like a little brother?

Why should I?!

He looked up at the dozen or so captains of the Whitebeard Pirates in front of him, and his dissatisfaction immediately subsided.

Fine, I'll be the underling this time.

Don't bother with that kid!

Both sides were locked in a standoff, their minds focused on the distant, fiery battlefield.

"That's so strange."

Marco was filled with doubt.

With his father's power, he could have easily defeated Fire Fist Ace, but their battle is still ongoing.

Could it be that Dad wants to recruit Fire Fist?

The Navy's obsession with Fire Fist is also abnormal. Logia-type Devil Fruit users are indeed rare, but they're not something the Navy should be afraid of.

Fire Fist is the problem!
