One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Just as the two were discussing, there was a clang, and a man in ordinary pirate clothes rushed into the door. He held the door frame and shouted to them breathlessly: "Hu...Hu...Mr. Newgate asked me to inform you two that the ship is about to arrive at Baihe Island. Please gather on the deck quickly!"

"We have arrived at our destination before we know it."

Uno moved the helmet with both hands to make sure it wouldn't fall off, with a faint smile on his face, "I'm a little nervous when I think about fighting the Golden Lion soon."

"Oh ha ha ha! Who cares about the golden lion or the silver lion!"

Kaido suddenly stood up from his chair and laughed, "Just beat them all up! It just so happens that I'm really angry today!"

"Is that Shirakko Island? It looks just like its name."

Uno held onto the side of the boat with both hands, opened his eyes wide, and couldn't help but sigh. Right in front of him, a small island stood on the boundless sea. It was a vast expanse of white, without a single color, and it stood out against the gloomy sky. As the boat moved forward, the outline of the island became clearer.

"It is in such a remote location, and there is nothing but white. It usually does not attract the attention of any forces. No wonder the Golden Lion and his men chose this place as the trading location."

Kaido stood beside him with his arms folded, explaining slowly. He had passed by Shirakko Island in the past and had a certain understanding of the island's environment.

At this time, all the combatants on the ship gathered on the deck. Every pirate was rubbing his hands, looking eager to try, and they all wanted to rush to the island and fight the enemy immediately.

Stussy stood on the observation deck, observing the situation around the island with a telescope. He saw warships parked in the nearby sea, with their bows all facing outward and gun muzzles exposed on the hull surface, preparing to guard against attacking ships.

"It seems they arrived on the island ahead of time, but..."

Stussy frowned slightly and muttered to himself, his tone full of doubt, "I counted a total of fifteen warships, which is quite large in terms of scale, but it is simply not worth mentioning in the Golden Lion's fleet..."

She jumped down from the observation deck, walked straight to the other cadres, and said seriously, "Something is wrong. The number of enemy ships is not large overall. We should wait and see before deciding how to land."

"Huh? You're kidding?"

Guroliosa stared at her and asked suspiciously, "It's just a deal, they don't need to make such a big fuss, are you thinking of backing out at the last minute?"

"No, Stussy is right."

Rocks denied her statement and looked at the warships with a serious face. "I heard that Shiqi has always acted flamboyantly. This kind of attitude of facing a powerful enemy is not in line with his style. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy hidden in it..."

Guroliosa pouted and muttered unconvincedly: "Tsk, I think she is just overthinking. She will wipe them out with a blitzkrieg. Even if the reinforcements come quickly, they will be powerless. Don't you think so, Newgai..."

When she turned her head, she found Newgate looking up at the sky with astonishment on his face. She couldn't help but stop talking and looked up at the sky. Her eyes widened immediately, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She said in a trembling voice with disbelief: "How... How is it possible... This is too much..."

Hearing her terrified words, people all looked up at the sky at the same time, and soon showed similar expressions to hers. They stood there in a daze. Even Kaido, who was fearless, was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes, and then he was sure that what he saw was real.

In the clouds, dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed occasionally. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder, groups of warships emerged from the thick clouds, floating in the air, and sailed towards the front with great momentum.

A dragon-like lightning flashed across, landing on the surface of one of the ships and scattering away, leaving no trace on the part that was hit. It was obvious that these warships had taken good anti-mine measures in advance, so they could travel through the thunderclouds unimpeded.

"We were played around with from the beginning."

Guroliosa slumped to the ground and said miserably, "How on earth did they do it..."

"It must be Shiki's Floating Fruit."

Newgate stared at the overwhelming warships and tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "When I heard about the island moving, I thought it was nonsense at first. Now it seems that my imagination is too poor."

"No wonder there are so few guards around the island, it turns out they are all hidden in the clouds."

Stussy looked at all this in disbelief, with a wry smile on his face. "It seems like they have scientists there, too. They can build a ship like that. As a colleague, I'm really jealous of them."

Uno looked up at the sky without saying a word, clenching his fists.

So far, most of the enemy's elite troops are probably concentrated here, and they have completely occupied the air superiority. Once they choose to bombard indiscriminately, even if the ships are not hit by the shells, they will be overturned by the surging waves.

Although the shells made by Stusi can destroy warships in one fell swoop, that is only limited to the sea. If used against the air, its power will be greatly reduced.

In order to take precautions, he asked Rocks to install a protective shield on the ship before setting off. Compared with the one used by the Kingdom of Etel three years ago, the new shield can last for two hours and can remain safe even under intensive bombardment.

However, the disadvantages were still as obvious as before. After the shield was activated, the ship could not move freely, and the rebounded attacks were also limited in distance, far from reaching the height of the warships.

If this continues, the enemy will form a net to surround their ships from a distance when they find that the shield cannot be destroyed. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the transaction on Shiraguru Island will be completed in two hours. If things develop in that way, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides by the Flying Pirates and the government's unknown forces.

"I can only take a gamble."

Uno raised his right hand, his lips moved slightly, and a slightly hoarse voice spoke before him.

"Relying solely on protective shields won't work."

The boy was surprised that his idea was spoken out in advance by others. Then Rocks said in a calm tone, word by word, "The cadres and the two kids will go to Baihe Island first. The most urgent task is to stop their transaction. Leave everything here to me."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Newgate was even more shocked and shouted, "No! No matter how strong you are, it's too arrogant to deal with these fleets alone! We may have enough victory together..."

"Don't worry, old man."

Rocks waved his hand to stop him from speaking, raised his eyebrows, and showed great confidence on his face, "Until now, no one has ever seen my strength. Even so, there is no need for them to let me use my fruit ability!"

Newgate held his forehead and sighed: "You are such a carefree person! But if you insist on doing it, I can't stop you."

Rocks grinned, turned and looked at Stussy, who immediately understood, took out a remote control from his pocket, pressed a button, and a secret door opened on the underside of the giant ship, and a speedboat slowly moved out from it.

"Okay, let's go up quickly, there's no time for us to hesitate!"

Before Stussy could finish his words, he jumped off the boat and landed safely on the speedboat. Newgate, Kaido and Uno followed closely behind him and landed safely on the boat one by one.

Guloliosa hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and fell straight down to the speedboat. Unexpectedly, she twisted her waist and fell sideways toward the sea. In the moment of danger, a figure jumped up, held her in his arms, and pushed hard on the surface of the giant ship, using the recoil force to return to the speedboat safely.

"Thank...thank you very much! Please put me down."

Gurelioza saw that it was Kaido who saved her, and her face turned red. She felt a little fond of him. Kaido glanced away and gently placed her in the cabin.

"Are you ready?"

Stussy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, a rare hearty smile on his face. The speedboat made a "buzzing" sound and vibrated slightly, ready to go at any time.

"Oh no! Someone is trying to escape from there!"

On the warship in the air, a pirate noticed the two speedboats through a telescope and loudly informed his companions. Upon hearing this, the other pirates loaded shells into their gun barrels. In an instant, shells poured down like a rain of flowers, sweeping towards the sea.

"Oh no! How can we hide?"

The pirates on the ship suddenly saw so many shells being fired at them, and they were immediately panicked and at a loss as to what to do.

Rocks stood still and calmly pulled out a double-edged knife from his waist, holding it flat in the air, with a cold light flashing on the surface of the blade.

"Disappear all of them!"

With a deafening roar from Rocks, the double-headed knife began to spin extremely fast with the handle as the center, like a windmill. The extremely violent air waves spread out from around the double-headed knife, forming a large area of ​​​​waves, covering the entire sky above the ship.

Countless shells fell onto the surface of the wave and immediately shattered into a pile of powder without causing any damage to the ship. The pirates were stunned and for a moment forgot that they were in danger.

At the same time, the speedboat was moving at a terrifying speed, splashing up huge waves, and rushing forward, leaving a long trail on the sea.

"Someone is coming! Get ready to fight back!"

The warships on the sea surface bombarded the oncoming speedboat, but the speedboat came too fast, and the shells fell behind it every time. Stussy stepped on the accelerator, and the speedboat accelerated again, rushed between the two warships, and rushed towards Baihu Island at a speed that surpassed dust and lightning.

"Hahahahaha! That's the spirit, boys!"

Rocks looked in the direction of the speedboat. At the moment when the artillery shells stopped attacking, the double-headed knife swept from right to left. A magnificent crescent-shaped shock wave swooped up. The ten warships were unable to dodge and were cut into two by the shock wave in an instant.

Looking at the fireworks formed by a series of explosions in the sky, Rocks showed a wicked smile, and laughed loudly amid the cheers of the pirates: "My fellow pirates! Get ready to fight! If not now, when!"
