Outside the Valley of the Gods.
As the pirate ships that had just set sail for the sea thought they were about to escape, they were met with a barrage of cannon fire. Cannonballs rained down on the pirate ships as if they cost nothing.
Boom! Boom! Explosions erupted everywhere.
"It's Navy reinforcements!"
"Hey, hey, what kind of joke is this! Boom!"
"We'll fight to the death!"
"Wave Slash!!!!"
"The ship's hull is leaking!"
"Damn it!!!"
"Quickly repair the hull!!!"
At this moment, the Buster Call fleet finally arrived. Forty massive warships, all specially made, fired simultaneously. The pirates were thrown into disarray. Some resisted, some collapsed, some died.
"Lion's Song!"
Just as the pirates were falling into despair, a domineering and arrogant voice rang out. Seven or eight giant golden sword energies flew from the sky, striking the Buster Call warships.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
The sword energies slashed down from above, striking the warships in their midsections, shattering more than half of them and nearly splitting them in two. Fortunately, they were specially made warships for the Buster Call, making them extremely sturdy.
Only the two warships with vice admirals managed to withstand the slashes. The remaining few, with only rear admirals, could not resist and were completely destroyed.
"Cease the cannon fire."
"Rally the wounded, and have the nearby ships make contact."
"Transfer the wounded and supplies."
"Group every two warships and approach the ships with vice admirals."
The incident was sudden, but unlike the panic among the pirates, orders were conveyed in an orderly manner by Vice Admiral Morris, greatly stabilizing the morale of the troops.
On the other side.
"It's Captain Shiki!"
"Save us! Captain Shiki!"
"Captain! Over here!!!"
"Don't worry, my men."
Shiki, descending from the sky, spoke to the cheering pirates. Then, he extended his right hand, flipped it over, and twitched his fingers. The pirate ships seemed to receive an order.
They rose from the sea, lined up, and flew to Shiki's rear, where they were held in place. Only then did the pirates breathe a sigh of relief, and many burst into tears.
Shiki, however, looked at Rocks' ship and beckoned to the void.
Rumble!
This massive main ship, shaking and pushing aside everything around it, lifted off the ground and flew towards Shiki.
Seeing this, and thinking of the person inside Rocks' ship, the surrounding pirates fell silent. They all stared at the approaching giant ship with terror, not daring to make a sound.
Shiki saw this, raised an eyebrow, as if he knew something. He had seen countless old corpses below when he arrived, but he paid them no mind, laughing heartily and saying.
"Hahahahaha, Linlin, let's cooperate and conquer the New World together."
"No, Shiki, I'm not interested in that."
"And right now... I just want to kill!"
Shiki grinned, his expression unreadable, as if lost in thought.
As the giant main ship came to a halt, a voice echoed from the cabin. A tall, slender female figure emerged from the cabin. Her clothes, corroded by lava, revealed a great deal of skin, yet no one dared to look directly.
As the word "kill" fell, a monstrous killing intent erupted.
The Mythical Zoan fruit had been found and given to Kaido, and his wounds had healed. However, his left lung, which had been burned to ashes by lava, could not regrow.
The loss of an organ would have unimaginable consequences for the future. This was also the reason why Charlotte Linlin could not suppress her killing intent.
Summoning Zeus, storm clouds spread across the sky, and rumbling thunder sounded continuously. In moments, the clouds covered the entire sky, and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.
Looking at the Navy fleet, which was a part of the Buster Call, Charlotte Linlin could no longer suppress her killing intent, and her voice, filled with hatred, echoed through the heavens.
"Tianman!!! Great Freedom Heavenly God!!!!!!"
