Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

Holding the sword in front of him, John concentrated almost all of his domineering aura on his sword and swung it with all his might. The rich and condensed domineering aura burst out from the blade, creating a dazzling thunder that collided with the flying slash through the air.

boom! ! !

It was as if a storm was born in the center of the island, and the outward-radiating impact uprooted all the surrounding trees. The clouds in the sky surged, and the ground began to shake violently.

"Haha!"

At this moment, John's whole body was tense, his arms were shaking, and he was being pushed back continuously. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

Not only that, since he had no energy left to use domineering defense, the sword energy carried by the huge slash was constantly cutting his body, and small wounds began to burst open. The captain's coat on his body was now riddled with holes.

[Shiki is so much stronger than before! If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for much longer... Sure enough, the pre-arrangement was right.]

Finally, when he was about to be pushed against the wall behind him, John raised his arm with all his strength and directed the blow into the sky.

The clouds were instantly cut in half, and a corner of the sky seemed to be torn open by the sword.

"Hey, hahahaha! You understand now, you have no chance of winning! Tell me the location of the treasure quickly, and I'll kill you."

Looking at John who was still gasping for breath in front of him, Golden Lion felt that he had a sure win this time.

"Hoo~~ho~~"

"Fuhehehe... cough, your arrogance will cost you your life sooner or later, Shiji."

After catching his breath, John smiled again.

"But your greed will kill you now! Lion Double Slash!"

With both swords drawn, Shiki's aura transformed into that of a ferocious golden lion, using the two famous swords as fangs to bite John fiercely.

"Looks like I have to fight to the death..."

Red lightning burst out from John's sword, that was the power of the Overlord.

"Final Dance!"

The crimson slash met the attacking lion, and the two most powerful forces on the sea collided with each other!

boom! ! !

The sky, the earth, the ocean... everything around seemed to be shaking under these two forces. It seemed that this long-renowned pirate island was about to meet its end today.

……

Unlike the lively conversation between Shiqi and John, the three Big Moms who had secretly formed an alliance on the other side of the island seemed much more relaxed.

"Mmmm~ Mmm~ Looks like everything's going well with Shiki. I just hope John isn't so weak and can inflict a few more wounds on that lion."

Looking at the sky above her head being split apart by the domineering collision, Big Mom, who was sitting on a rock, couldn't help but feel happy.

"Are we just going to watch now?" asked Wang Zhi who was standing aside.

"Of course not. Although this is John's base camp, it's going to be owned by a new owner soon. Let's clean it up a bit before that."

Standing up and brushing off the dust on her pants, BIG MOM decided to take action.

"You old woman can't wait to grab the treasure!"

"Kaido! You bastard..."

Just when the two were about to get into another meaningless quarrel, Katakuri, who had fought his way all the way from the other side of the island, finally found them.

"Mom, you're here."

"Oh? It's Katakuri, how did you find yourself here?"

Big Mom was obviously surprised by the arrival of her son.

"Where are the rest of the pirate group?"

"I asked them to search for the treasure first. John is now at a disadvantage, and his men are all in disarray. They have no desire to fight, so we didn't engage them."

"Mmm~Mmm~ Well done! Katakuri, you are indeed my favorite son."

Big Mom was very happy to hear Katakuri's arrangement.

The territory and treasure are the ultimate goal of the BIG MOM Pirates. Wasting energy to fight to the death with John's men is a completely thankless and stupid behavior.

Seeing that BIG MOM’s people had arrived, Kaido thought that he should go and notify them as well.

Just when he was about to pick up the Den Den Mushi, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky - Jin also arrived.

"Mr. Kaido, the situation on the battlefield is clear. John's men, except for a few cadres, have all dispersed on their own and are now looting treasure."

Jhin's report was still as concise and efficient as ever.

"Humph! Do you think those rabble can snatch the gold coins from John?!"

"That guy's treasure is probably only he can find. Tell his men to stop looking for treasure and quickly go to the armory and load all the weapons onto the boat for me!"

"Okay, I'll go and inform them."

"Wait a minute, what's the situation over there?"

"Burfat has sent a message that the other party has made a move."

"Wooo-ha-ha-ha! Good!"

"Kaido, do you mean that the treasure is not on this island?" Listening to the frank conversation between Kaido and Jin, BIG MOM couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"I don't know. Anyway, with John's personality, we won't be able to find him even if he's on the island in a short time. I only care about what I can get now!"

"Uh-huh!"

Big Mom nodded in agreement. John's image as a money-grubbing, stingy persona was too deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"Then it seems that this island cannot be given to you in the short term, Wang Zhi."

"What do you mean by that?" Lingling!

"What I mean is that no one can touch this island until the treasure is found!"

"Don't go too far!" Wang Zhi drew out his giant sword.

"If you want to fight now, I'll accompany you!"

Big Mom also took down Napoleon again. A bloody mouth opened on the huge pirate sword, and then she uttered human words: "Mom, who are we going to chop this time?"

The atmosphere became tense again, and Silver Axe's body was blown around by the explosive momentum of the two men.

The pirates' falling out was so sudden and direct.

……

Chapter 53 Login

On the other side, on the outskirts of Fenrir Island, Burfat was holding a Den Den Mushi.

"Yeah, okay, I get it. Are you sure they're gone?"

"The brothers who followed us all the way have already turned back. They are probably dozens of nautical miles away now."

After waiting patiently for several hours, Burfat and his companions finally waited for the large pirate ship docked at the port of Fenrir Island to leave. Now it was time for them to reap the rewards.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he waved his hand and said, "Haha! Guys, hoist the sails and head full speed ahead! Target - Fenrir Island!"

"Oh!"

The "Bullfighting" took the lead, followed closely by other pirate ships.

The fleet flying the flags of the Hundred Beasts drew long white lines on the sea, like bloodthirsty sharks swimming towards their immobilized prey.

"Enemy, enemy attack!"

The sentries on the coast soon discovered the fleet heading towards the island with great momentum and immediately sounded the alarm.

"Damn it, at this very moment! Quickly contact Lord Scapgate and Lord Ferg and have them come to support us."

The pirates who stayed behind heard the alarm and immediately took out their Den Den Mushi.

……

Scapgate and Ferg are officers stationed on Fenrir's two major sub-islands, Hati and Skul.

As the largest piece of territory besides Beehive Island, John attached great importance to Fenrir Island and its surrounding areas, and directly sent three cadres to guard it.

Now, Forle, the cadre originally stationed on the main island of Fenrir, was forced to go to Beehive Island for support. The defenders on the island had no choice but to call on the remaining two cadres for support.

boom! boom! boom!

The dozen or so artillery batteries deployed on the shore were also not idle. They immediately began to attack, firing one cannon after another at the Baishou ships.

"Huh? These guys didn't surrender, and they even dared to attack us~"

"Fight back! Fight back hard! Hahahaha!"

Burfat stood at the bow, shouting his orders. Even this level of fire couldn't hurt him.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The artillery on the Baishou side was not to be outdone, and fired a salvo at the coastal defense gun position.

Smoothbore guns have no accuracy to speak of. Whether the shell can hit the target at the moment it leaves the gun basically depends entirely on character and fate.

As for character... it's unrealistic to ask these pirates who usually rob and loot to do some good deeds before going into battle, such as helping a few old ladies cross the road.

As for fate, the gunners on the ship were all highly skilled. Their rich experience in firing cannons allowed them to always pull the red line on the cannonball very close to the target like the matchmaker.

Of course, except for an intern who was working for the first time.

"Ossie! You hit the fucking ball wrong!"

Among the neatly arranged shells, one was obviously offset from its position. Like the most handsome boy on the playground during morning exercises, it drew a strange arc and directly hit a small boat still parked in the harbor.

The boat's mast was broken directly, and the violent explosion ignited a raging fire.

Soon the few other small boats left in the harbor were also set on fire. John's pirate flag fluttered in the flames and was eventually burned to ashes along with the ship.

"No, it wasn't off target! I, I was aiming at the boat! That's called cutting off their retreat. Sounds impressive, huh?!"

Feeling somewhat guilty, Ossi loudly defended himself after hearing what Burfat said.

The reason may not be right, but the spirit must be strong.

"You! Oh, okay, this is your first time, so you shot well. Aim better next time."

"Hmph~ Just wait and see! I, Osi, am known as the Little Flying General. I can hit whatever I want!"

"Alright, alright, stop bragging. Pointing at something... Anyone can do it unless they're blind~"

"Hahaha~"

The pirates around were also amused by the conversation between the two, and the cabin was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Just as the big and the small were bickering with each other, the observation post on the lookout tower above suddenly shouted:

"Report to the boss! Enemy ships have been spotted on both wings. They look like those two guys, Skepgate and Ferg."

"Wow~ Old acquaintances. Looks like these two guys didn't come back with us for reinforcements~ That's perfect, let's take care of them both today!"

Looking at the fleet approaching rapidly from both the left and right directions, Burfat made a decision.

"I'll go deal with Skepgate. Which of you two can go with the remaining one? The remaining one will continue landing under the cover of artillery fire. Make sure to destroy the coastal defense guns as soon as you reach shore."

After giving the order, Burfat took off his coat and jumped into the sea without waiting for a response.

As a fish-man, he is truly like a fish in water at this moment, swimming towards the distant fleet at an incredible speed.

"Hmm...how about it? Rock-paper-scissors?"

Looking at Burfat who disappeared after diving, Osi suggested.

"No, you go ahead. I'll stay and log in."

Oubey waved his hands, not caring about such things.

"Okay! I'll be back soon."

Ossi didn't hesitate and jumped onto a small boat and led his men towards Ferg.

Watching Osi's back gradually moving away, Obei slowly withdrew his gaze.

Rather than landing in a panic under fire, her choice was to blow up all the enemies right here and become an astronaut.

"Then I'll have to help out a little bit."
