Chapter 358: In the Future, We Will Rule the Seas
"How troublesome~. I should just hurry up and clean up this mess and get off work."
One by one, golden rays of light converged on Kizaru from his surroundings. In the blink of an eye, his entire body flew out from the mountain peak, transforming into a beam of light that streaked across the night sky.
On the turbulent sea between Udon and Onigashima, a vast amount of fire and thick smoke shot up into the sky. The entire sea surface was covered with the wrecks of sunken ships, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
After a whole night of cannon fire exchanges, both Bege’s gangster crew and the Beasts Pirates had suffered heavy losses. Even so, the cannon fire had not stopped even now.
"We still haven’t received any information from that side. Don’t tell me it’s already over."
Bege looked at the sky, which had returned to calm, lost in thought.
Suddenly.
A beam of golden light flashed across his vision, stopping above the sea and condensing into a human figure.
"You’re fighting so fiercely. What terrifying firepower. How scary."
Kizaru pouted his lips with a sleazy face, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and made a circle with his thumbs and index fingers. A dazzling light flashed from within the circle.
"Since both sides are pirates, this old one won’t be polite."
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish! In an instant, a large number of light bullets flew out from Kizaru’s hands. In a flash, the entire sky was covered with light bullets, as if it would fill the entire sea.
"Damn it!"
"It’s Kizaru!"
"Why would a Marine Admiral appear here?!"
The bright flashes were reflected on everyone’s faces. This scene was undoubtedly one of despair for them, whether it was Bege’s side or the Beasts Pirates’.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! A dense barrage of light bullets, like a golden meteor shower, fell into the sea. Each one contained enough power to destroy a warship. The fleet, like a torrential flood of ferocious beasts, was continuously detonated, one after another, under this sky-covering attack.
"Run!"
"Abandon ship! Jump into the sea!"
"We can’t! The sea isn’t safe either!"
The light bullets in the sky continued to be fired. Fear and despair spread across the sea. The lasers, which were terrifyingly powerful in the eyes of others, were casually thrown out by the hundreds and thousands by Kizaru.
In just ten seconds, a few breaths of time, the carpet-bombing firepower had completely blasted everything on the sea surface to smithereens...
This was the highest combat power of the World Government, the Marine Headquarters Admiral, feared by pirates all over the world.
The result of two fleets fighting for an entire night, the moment Kizaru appeared, seemed to have turned into a child’s game.
"Thank you for your hard work, Drake. I’m going to take care of other things first. I’ll leave this place to you."
Kizaru said to the figure on the only warship still floating on the sea. Then, he once again transformed into a streak of light and flew away with a ’swish’.
"Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated, hey..."
Drake stared blankly at the sky and muttered to himself. Kizaru seemed to have just casually come over to sweep up the trash, and then, after he was done, he had turned and left without a care.
The work he had done as an undercover agent for two years was probably just child’s play in the eyes of these top-tier powerhouses.
Just then.
Rumble!!
Several red points of light flashed again in the sky. Accompanied by a dull sound of breaking through the air, those red points of light became brighter, dragging long tail flames as they fell towards the land of Wano at high speed.
The air gradually became heavy. Firelight and heatwaves washed over them. The roaring sound of breaking through the air also became as loud as thunder.
Now, looking closely, those red points of light were actually several lava meteors falling from the sky!
In a valley surrounded by several stone mountains in the land of Udon, four exhausted figures lay scattered, the fatigue on their faces and their battered bodies all showing that it was a struggle for them to even lift a finger.
"To be able to make such a big move, it can only be that person, Marine Admiral Fujitora Issho."
His longsword was stabbed into the ground. Law’s face was bitter as he looked at the meteor falling towards them.
"What a pain. Hey, does anyone have the strength to deal with it?"
Zoro’s tone was impatient as he sighed.
"Tch. Stop ordering us around. Who do you think you are?"
Kid’s face was displeased as he sneered.
Sanji sighed helplessly.
"Can you guys not argue at a time like this? I’m already exhausted. Anyone, just hurry up and deal with it."
"Don’t look at me. I don’t have the strength left."
"Me neither. I can’t even stand up anymore."
The four of them were silent for two seconds.
"Tch. You guys are useless."
Zoro gritted his teeth, and using his sword to support himself, he struggled to stand up. His legs were shaking as he looked at the impending meteor and frowned.
He was also on the verge of collapsing, but he couldn’t just lie there and wait to die. He could only give it one last shot.
And just at this moment, an azure long dragon coiled its body and soared up. A figure stood on top of the azure dragon’s head, holding a giant axe.
With a forceful swing of the figure’s giant axe, a burst of explosive power vibrated out, impacting those meteors and extinguishing their flames. Then, one by one, they exploded. The rubble, with rising white steam, scattered in the air.
"It seems our farewell gift has been mercilessly refused."
On a mountain peak, Fujitora closed his eyes and, facing the distant sky, spoke in a low voice.
Feeling this commotion and the familiar presence, he slowly sheathed his sword. The order from above was not to act rashly. He also knew that the Marines, who had arrived a step too late, had already missed the chance to take down the Straw Hat crew.
The probing was over. Sheathing his sword, Fujitora turned and left this place.
In the sky, Reiner had already seen the departing Fujitora. He didn’t intend to pursue. The others were already exhausted. If he didn’t stay here, Kizaru would have had a field day.
The azure dragon carried him as it descended into the valley. Reiner jumped down from above, and in a few steps, he walked up to Zoro, his gaze sweeping over the few lying on the ground.
"What’s this? So who won and who lost?"
"Isn’t that obvious?"
Zoro glanced sideways at Law and Kid on the ground and said sarcastically:
"How could I possibly lose to these guys?"
"Hah? Who did you say lost! You bastard, have you no shame at all!"
Kid immediately shouted back, displeased.
"Heh."
Zoro gave a light, cold snort, picked his ear, and the corner of his mouth was teasing:
"The barking of the defeated dogs lying on the ground is a bit loud."
"What did you say!"
"What do you mean, Moss-head!"
Veins popped on both Sanji’s and Law’s foreheads at the same time.
"You shut up too, stinky cook. I was talking about you."
"You stinking swordsman! Do you believe I’ll kick you to pieces!"
"Bring it on!"
While Zoro and Sanji were arguing, Reiner’s hand surged with azure flame. He took the templates of the nearby Kid and Law, and then pulled out the cursed sword Kikoku, which was stuck next to Law.
"It’s time to pay the price for your defeat."
Reiner swung the sword, and a cold glint flashed across the blade.
Kid, lying on the ground, turned his face away. His eyes were as arrogant as ever.
"This old me is not afraid to lose. It’s just my life. Take it if you want."
"It’s come to this. There’s nothing more to say. Anyway, I can’t move. Do as you please."
Law also spoke calmly.
Ching! Ching!
Reiner didn’t waste any more time. With a flick of his wrist, two arms, with a splash of blood, fell to the ground.
"It’s not to the point of killing you, but you still have to suffer a bit."
Hiss!
Reiner stabbed the sword back into the ground. As he turned to leave, he said with a light laugh:
"When you reattach your arms later, you’ll be the Third Joint Army of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet."
"Hey! What do you mean by that? If you’re going to kill me, kill me! This old me doesn’t acknowledge such a thing!"
"Me neither! Get back here!"
"Well, whatever you say. I’m not forcing you."
Reiner turned a deaf ear to the shouts of Kid and Law behind him.
Ace and his crew don’t acknowledge their status as the first ship of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet either. So what? It’s not like they’re needed usually.
When something really happens, if Reiner gives them a call, won’t they still have to rush over to help?
Now that all his trump cards had been exposed, the World Government’s apprehension towards him would only increase. If the other side was bent on starting a war, it probably wouldn’t be long.
Not to mention that Luffy hadn’t awakened his fruit yet. Even if he had, it would still be a stretch for them to fight the entire World Government on their own. Without a sufficient advantage, Reiner would always feel uneasy.
Kid and Law still had some strength. Their character was also reliable enough. They were still useful. I’ll teach Kid how to use Conqueror’s Coating later. I guarantee I’ll get these two tsunderes in line.
"Hey, what the hell is the Straw Hat Grand Fleet? How come I’ve never heard of it?"
Zoro couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Sanji also couldn’t help but be curious and asked in a low voice:
"What strange things have you been doing behind our backs? And why are they the third? What about the first and second?"
"Ahem. That’s a long story. How should I put it? It’s not like there really is such a thing. Anyway, just know that we have a few allies."
Reiner could only wave his hand and give a sheepish smile:
"At the bottom of the ship’s Den Den Mushi, there are the personal Den Den Mushi numbers for Marco and Katakuri. I’ve already greeted them. We can use them at a critical moment."
"..."
"..."
Hearing these words, both Kid and Law fell silent.
Alright, alright. So half of the Sea Emperors are your people. In a couple of days, this whole sea will be your family’s, won’t it?
