One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

The movements of the new world's maritime emperors have always been a top priority for naval surveillance.

Their every move can, at best, disrupt the new world order, and at worst, unleash a massive wave that sweeps across the entire ocean.

"When was this news received?" Zhan Guo hurriedly asked.

“Just now,” the colonel replied.

Sengoku breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his brows remained furrowed.

He quickly glanced at the document and then handed it to Lieutenant General Tsuru beside him. The document was silently passed between the high-ranking officers.

"Those guys are really restless," Sengoku remarked.

“That’s not surprising,” Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly analyzed. “Ever since Kaido has been making frequent moves in the New World, we should have been prepared for this. It’s either the Big Mom Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates; they’re bound to have a showdown eventually.”

She paused, then added, "According to intelligence, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin don't seem to have any intention of making a move; they're both staying peacefully in their respective territories."

"Well, in any case, a new round of the struggle for hegemony in the new world is about to begin." Sengoku rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

He's only been a marshal for a short time, and he's already run into this mess.

If the war gets out of control and drags the Whitebeard Pirates into it, then the world will truly descend into chaos.

How should the navy act then?

"Since the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are only sending their vice-captains and below to fight, we can take this opportunity to act together, gather our strength, and annihilate their elite forces in one fell swoop!"

Sakazuki Akainu made a startling statement, immediately proposing to leave Kaido and Charlotte Linlin as commanders without any allies.

"Hmm~ As expected of Sakazuki-san, such big movements?" Kizaru Borsalino drawled out, his expression exaggerated.

“If the three of us act together, achieving our goal is not impossible.” Aokiji Kuzan’s voice carried its usual languidness, yet it went straight to the point. “However, we must consider the risk of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin personally intervening. Moreover, the Whitebeard Pirates might not stand idly by if one of them is gone.”

"With all this fear and apprehension, do you think those pirates will just disappear on their own?" Sakazuki retorted, his voice booming, "Even if we only take down one King or one Katakuri, it's a huge victory for the Navy! It weakens the enemy!"

“Alright, Sakazuki, you’re a general now. You need to learn to see things from a holistic perspective.” Sengoku shook his head.

Sakazuki, who had just been promoted to admiral, still had the mindset of a vice admiral, believing that killing more pirates was the right thing to do.

However, the reality does not allow the navy to act in this way.

Yes, with all the admirals mobilized, fulfilling Sakazuki's plan wouldn't be a problem at all. If you add Sengoku, or even Kaido or Charlotte Linlin, it wouldn't be an issue either.

But if the entire high command of the Navy is mobilized, will the other pirates just watch them act?

It's important to know that there are more than just the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates in the world.

The Navy's actions could very well provoke the pirates' sensitive nerves, and it's not impossible that it could eventually escalate into the Navy challenging the entire New World.

Faced with Sengoku's rejection, Sakazuki snorted heavily and fell silent, but the fierceness between his brows remained.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke.

"We don't really need to intervene in the war between these two pirate crews. Let them fight like dogs. Whoever dies is a good thing for us."

This is also the Navy's consistent policy.

"That's true, but it's to prevent unforeseen circumstances..."

Sengoku thought for a moment, then turned to Kizaru: "Boltarino, you've been stationed in the New World for a long time, you're familiar with the situation, and your Devil Fruit ability offers the greatest mobility. Let you go and take a look; it'll be a good opportunity to find out the strength of both pirate crews."

He paused, glanced at Sakazuki, and added, "Besides, Sakazuki's suggestion isn't without merit; we really can't be too conservative. If the opportunity arises, you can try to make a move."

Seeing Sengoku's arrangement, Sakazuki's expression softened considerably.

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku." Borsalino lazily rose and saluted.

He sighed inwardly, wondering if eating the Glint-Glint Fruit was the right or wrong thing to do.

Now, whenever there is an emergency, a dangerous mission that requires rapid deployment, nine times out of ten it falls to him.

When will my dream of going to get off work and leaving work on time come true?

Bled Island.

An ordinary island was included in the expansion target only because it was close to the territory of the Beast Pirates.

But this small island has a special advantage: the wheat it produces is of excellent quality.

The island's unique ecological advantages have fostered a thriving bread baking industry.

What was once a unique advantage that brought wealth to the island's inhabitants has now become their death knell.

As everyone knows, Charlotte Linlin is not only obsessed with collecting "special" husbands, but also an absolute sweet tooth, unable to resist any delicious dessert.

Therefore, the Big Mom Pirates always prioritized expanding their influence by targeting islands with top-quality ingredients and gourmet food.

This is why they have their eye on Braddock Island.

Chapter 31 The War Begins

On the sea, two massive fleets faced each other, neither willing to give way.

The ship leading the way on the east side is quite distinctive.

This is a huge candy-themed warship, with frosting hanging from the sides, candy canes standing on both sides of the deck, and a large two-tiered cake placed at the stern.

It looks absolutely delicious.

But what's most striking about this ship isn't its unique style, but that it's alive.

The bow of the ship features a gingerbread smiley face, which is now cheerfully humming a lullaby.

The Queen Mother Hymn, that's the name of the ship.

Its fame is as renowned as its unique style, as it is the warship of the Big Mom Pirates.

Charlotte Linlin traveled to various places on this ship, fighting battles in the north and south.

At this moment, the person standing at the bow of the ship was not Charlotte Linlin, but a tall man who was wearing a scarf that covered half of his face.

The man is Charlotte Katakuri, the greatest masterpiece of the Charlotte family.

"Katakuri-nii, Cracker-nii's army from Totto Land will arrive in another hour. There's still an hour and a half until the agreed time, which is plenty of time."

The speaker was a woman with brown skin, wearing a pink striped bodysuit and a long sword at her waist.

Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders, Minister of Juices of World of Warcraft.

With the bloodline of the Long-Legged Tribe, she possesses a pair of exceptionally long legs that are difficult for ordinary people to match, accounting for two-thirds of her total height.

While Katakuri awaited reinforcements, Jhin was also waiting.

"When will Kane come? I can't wait any longer!" Yamato groaned weakly, leaning on the ship's railing.

In preparation for this war, the beasts used almost all their strength.

Even Yamato, who was working in Wano Country, shouted it out.

"It'll be soon." Jhin stared intently at the other side, without turning his head.

He wasn't worried about whether Kane could make it in time.

At Kane's speed, even if the ship can't reach it, the people will definitely get there.

Time ticked by in the tense atmosphere.

Soon, the agreed-upon time for the battle between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates quietly arrived.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Almost the instant the time arrived, both fleets began firing their cannons.

Shells rained down on the enemy ship like a storm.

Because of the high density of the shells, many of them collided and exploded in mid-air.

The explosion sounded like the order to charge.

On the coast of Bright Island, the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, who had been sharpening their swords for a long time, charged towards each other like a flood bursting its banks, roaring and brandishing their weapons!

Despite the pirates' overwhelming momentum, the balance of power was not in their hands.

Jin flapped his wings, his body leaping into the air, and the flames behind his head suddenly surged, transforming him into a fiery meteor that tore through the sky!

At the same time, flames instantly enveloped the giant katana in Ember's hand.

Jhin locked his gaze on Katakuri below and swung his sword forcefully.

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

A massive, incredibly thick torrent of flame roared forth, then suddenly split and twisted in mid-air, transforming into more than a dozen lifelike, ferocious, roaring fire dragons.

The flowing flames were as thick and hot as magma.

"Truly worthy of the name 'Disaster of Flames'."

Smoothie looked up, her brows furrowed.

The terrifying heat emanating from the fire dragon alone made her feel the moisture in her body evaporating rapidly.

From a certain perspective, Jhin is the perfect counter to her Squeeze Fruit.

Her ability allows her to extract moisture from objects and use it for her own purposes, but it's not so effective against fire-based abilities.

"Hand him over to me." Katakuri's voice remained calm and steady.

He raised his left hand and slammed it hard against the ground.

A strange thing happened!

The solid ground rippled and softened violently like water, instantly transforming into a surging, viscous sea of ​​white rice cakes! "Flowing rice cakes."

As he waved his arm, the sticky rice cakes flowed upstream and instantly condensed, forming a huge wall of rice cakes tens of meters wide, which stretched across everyone's heads.

This is not over yet.

A sliver of black light extended from Katakuri's hand.

Armament Haki spread rapidly across the entire mochi wall like ink.

Boom boom boom!!!

A dozen or so fiery dragons crashed violently against the dark rice cake wall, unleashing a deafening roar.

The rice cake, covered in top-tier Armament Haki, was incredibly tough, but under the continuous burning of King's terrifying flames, the surface of the giant wall still bounced back and forth between melting and solidifying.
