One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Guatini frowned as he watched the Beast Fleet regroup through his telescope; the results were far from what they had anticipated.

Their original plan was to use the merfolk's absolute underwater advantage to destroy at least half of the Beast Fleet's ships, greatly weakening its landing force.

But it seems that successfully crippling one-third of the enemy's ships is already the limit.

"Don't panic, Guatin." Beckman's calm and collected laughter came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "We've achieved our main objective, haven't we?"

"You're right." Guatini breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious mood easing slightly.

Their primary strategic objective was to delay the landing of the Beast Fleet, thus creating space for their main force to land and deploy defenses on the island.

This goal has now been successfully achieved.

The main force of the Red Hair Fleet has already arrived at the coast of Chagos Island.

"Attention, all ships!" Beckman's voice was clearly transmitted through the Den Den Mushi network to the ears of every captain in the Red-Haired Fleet. "Initiate Plan B now!"

For this day, for the sake of defeating the strong with the weak, he stayed up for several nights in a row, deducing countless possibilities, all to research various plans to deal with the beasts.

"understand!"

"Roger that!"

"Leave it to us!"

A series of crisp replies came from the mouths of each Den Den Mushi.

As soon as the Red-Haired Fleet landed, hundreds of pirates, like a well-trained army, quickly and silently dispersed, entering their ambush positions according to the pre-arranged plan, and constructing the first line of defense.

Meanwhile, the ships that were temporarily unable to move were not idle either. All the usable cannons turned around and aimed at the Beast Fleet, which was charging towards the beachhead with all its might, and began a barrage of cannon fire without hesitation.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Solid black shells, along with a few specially made exploding shells, rained down on the Beast Fleet like a storm!

At this time, on Chagos Island, the island's inhabitants had already been evacuated after receiving a notification from the Beasts Pirates.

Therefore, both sides in the conflict can unleash their firepower without any scruples.

The Beast Fleet showed no weakness in the face of the cannon fire, and each ship returned fire with equal ferocity.

In an instant, the sound of cannons roared across the sea, and smoke filled the air.

Eighty ships against thirty, the advantage is in my hands!

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

The shells from both sides clashed in the air, and occasionally even collided mid-air, exploding into dazzling fireballs and flying debris.

However, the Beast Fleet, which clearly had an absolute advantage in the number of ships, produced a denser barrage and quickly gained the upper hand in the exchange of fire.

On the deck of the Liekong.

The crew members used their individual skills to intercept the shells fired at their ship.

Hiyori unleashed a series of flying slashes, Violet shed tears as hard as steel; Reiju fired arrows of venom...

This situation actually presents the best opportunity for Ace to demonstrate his abilities.

"Mirror Flame!"

His right arm suddenly expanded, spewing out a large amount of flames, instantly creating a huge, raging wall of fire on the sea in front of him.

The incoming artillery shells struck the scorching wall of fire and were instantly detonated.

It was a near-perfect interception.

After a fierce and brutal artillery battle lasting more than ten minutes, with both sides sparing no expense and bombarding each other relentlessly, the Red-Haired Fleet, which was at a significant disadvantage in terms of the number of ships, quickly could not hold out.

Many ships had their masts broken and their hulls torn open, forcing them to begin sinking.

Under the command of their officers, the remaining pirates quickly abandoned their damaged ships and boarded several main warships, fighting their way back to the other side of the island.

Seeing this, Kane stopped the pursuit and even stopped Jack, who had volunteered to fight.

There's not much point in pursuing them; there are at least two executives still on the Red-Haired Pirates' flagship, the Red-Forth.

Unless high-ranking officers like Kane, Quinn, and Jack lead the pursuit, they'll just be easy prey.

At such a critical moment, it is crucial to avoid acting impulsively.

Do not pursue a desperate enemy.

Meanwhile, on the Redford.

The ship's doctor, Hongo, with his long hair tied up and a scar on his left forehead, held a Den Den Mushi and reported to Beckman: "The Beast Fleet didn't catch up. They are much calmer than we expected."

Beside him, navigator Bendick Snake, musician Benk Bingge, and monkey Meng Shida stood ready.

There were actually four core officers gathered on this main ship!

It can be said that this is almost half of the Red-Haired Pirates' fighting strength.

Their decision to remain there was precisely because they were targeting the Beasts Pirates' consistently reckless fighting style. They planned to gather their officers and take down one or two of the enemy's high-ranking officers with lightning speed, thus gaining an early advantage.

Unexpectedly, the Beasts Pirates, known for their ferocity and recklessness, became unusually steady at this crucial moment.

“It’s alright.” Beckman frowned slightly, but his tone was very calm as he reassured them, “If strategy doesn’t work, then let’s fight a real battle! You guys take care of the ships as soon as possible, and then return to the team immediately!”

"How about I try to seduce them? I refuse to believe those bastards from the Hundred Beasts gang are really that calm!"

Benk Bingge gritted his teeth, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"No way!" Beckman immediately and decisively rejected the idea.

Judging from the exchange just now, that Calamity Kane is definitely not someone to be trifled with. With Quinn added to the mix, Bingley might actually fall for the act and get himself caught in the crossfire.

They were already at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they simply could not afford to lose a core member of their team.

"Alright. We'll settle the ship and come over to meet you right away."

Hongo replied, then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Chapter 107 War

Chagos Island, high in the sky.

Kaido's maniacal laughter, like muffled thunder, echoed across the sky:

"Hehehehe! Come on, red-haired brat! Use your strongest power to please me!!"

The massive azure dragon's body rapidly contracted, transforming into a more explosive dragon-human form.

Kaido crashed down from the sky like a meteorite, gripping his massive spiked club tightly with both hands, raising it high above his head and spinning it wildly.

The black and red Conqueror's Haki exploded wildly around him like tangible lightning!

"The Three Worlds Descend - Naraku!"

The pitch-black spiked club, wreathed in terrifying power and trailing a long, black-red lightning bolt, crashed down towards Shanks with the force of splitting a mountain.

"Don't be so arrogant, Kaido!"

Shanks' gaze sharpened, showing no fear, and the Griffin in his hand emitted a clear, melodious hum.

The blade instantly turned pitch black, and equally violent black and red domineering lightning surged from his body, coiling around the blade.

"Gods, beware!"

In the next instant, the longsword and the spiked club collided with a deafening roar!

boom!!!

Countless black and red lightning bolts, like uncontrolled raging dragons, burst forth from the point where the two weapons clashed, wreaking havoc wildly.

The energy that was released alone tore countless deep ravines into the surrounding hard earth, just like a plowshare!

A violent wind swept across the entire island in an instant, breaking trees and shattering rocks in its wake.

The powerful wind pressure even affected the nearshore area, causing the seawater to recede abnormally. Waves of giant waves spread wildly outwards against all reason, revealing the wet seabed below, where a few small fish thrashed about unwillingly.

The entire island began to shake.

It can be said that the aftermath of their battle alone profoundly affected another battlefield.

Fortunately, both sides consciously shifted the battlefield to the other side of the island.

Otherwise, apart from a few top-notch cadres, no one could gain a foothold in that region.

"Is this... is this the true power of the Pirate Emperor?"

Ace's mouth dropped open, his eyes filled with shock.

Was this the kind of monster Roger faced back then?

"Pooh."

Kane spat out the sand that had been blown into his mouth by the strong wind. "That's right, that's the power that stands at the top of the world."

At least that's the case in the current version.

Kane silently added to himself.

"Okay, stop spacing out."

Kane patted Ace on the shoulder, drawing his attention back to reality. "The captain has his battlefield, and we have ours. Without outside interference, they could probably fight for three days and three nights without a clear winner."

His gaze fell upon the distant, faintly visible coastline.

There, the faint outlines of crowds and fortifications were already in his sight.

Even a fool could tell that it was a "welcome gift" carefully prepared for them by the Red-Haired Pirates.

but……

"You underestimate the Beasts Pirates, don't you? Mere positional warfare..."

Kane's lips curled into a cold smile.

He has quite a few excellent helpers.

"Big Bear, come with me."

Kane turned his head and called out, then suddenly exerted force with both legs, leaping like a cannonball towards the largest warship in the Beast Fleet, a giant warship that was over a thousand meters long.

Two giant ships of this size accompanied the war.
