One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

"Fire!"

Following the order from the leading officer, the navy gunners operated the turrets without saying a word and aimed the gun barrels at the targets within range.

Bang bang bang!

Dense artillery shells poured out from the warships, igniting dazzling flames, drawing brilliant arcs in the air, and bombarding the enemy ships with overwhelming force.

"Full right rudder!"

As Stussy shouted, the ship tilted rapidly to the right with a nimble movement, leaving a winding white waterline on the sea. The shells either flew over the pirate ship and fell into the sea in front, or fell into the sea on both sides of the ship, splashing a series of waves dozens of meters high.

Most of the pirates on the deck had already been knocked to the ground by the continuous strong turbulence. The helmsman felt dizzy and nauseous, and almost vomited on the spot.

Despite this, the dedicated helmsman still forced himself to suppress the urge to vomit, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands and turning it quickly.

Based on his ten years of experience in the industry, he knew that any slight mistake in operation would undoubtedly result in the ship being instantly blown to pieces by enemy fire.

The rest will be left to Lord Stussy, who has many unique tricks.

On a huge warship, a naval colonel stood behind a tall man in a cloak, saluted, and said loudly: "Report to Vice Admiral King Black! Everything is just as you expected. The enemy ship is getting farther and farther away from Grassland Island, and it is no longer possible to communicate with the bandit leader on the island!"

The lieutenant general stood on the bow with his hands folded across his chest, staring coldly at the high-speed target in the distance, and nodded slightly. The man had a dark complexion, with layers of wrinkles on the skin below his neck, his nose and mouth protruding forward, and a semicircular metal cap tightly fitted with his head, leaving no gap. The front part was engraved with five large black characters "BLACK". The sunlight shone on the long hook-shaped horn on the top, creating a dazzling luster.

"Continue bombarding as usual, without any slacking, draw the enemy ships into the encirclement little by little, and then destroy them completely in one fell swoop."

The lieutenant general named King Black spoke in a cold voice, without any joy on his face, "With that woman named Stussy here, there's no guarantee they'll pull out some strange weapons, so be careful."

"Yes!"

As the soldier's footsteps faded away, King Black turned his gaze to the war-torn island in the distance. His expression was very solemn, and no one noticed that his left index finger was constantly weighing his strong right arm.

——Thanks to the help of those big shots, we were able to trap the monster Rocks first, and thus gain the upper hand.

——Having said that, we can’t let our guard down. None of the remaining pirates are easy to deal with, especially that monster newcomer called Kaido.

"Gundali? Longshengjun!"

Kaido's attack was like a violent storm. His mace turned into numerous phantoms, and with the faint sound of wind and thunder, he attacked Rubail continuously.

"Hey! There seems to be something!"

Faced with such a fierce attack, Rubel did not show the slightest panic, nor did he blink, still keeping his hands in his pockets. Shields formed by countless crystals continued to emerge from his feet, blocking all of Kaido's attacks. When the mace and the shield intersected, sparks flew, and a deafening sound erupted, making the surrounding air tremble.

"Well......!"

Kaido gritted his teeth. No matter how fiercely he attacked, the crystal shield showed no signs of breaking. On the contrary, his arm was slightly painful from the recoil force emitted by the shield. If his wrist had not been covered with domineering aura, the mace would have flown out of his hand.

"What's wrong? Your current behavior is totally inconsistent with your previous bold words, dear Kaido!"

Rubel laughed loudly, his face still with the same leisurely and casual expression as before. He spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and three crystals instantly appeared in the palm of his hand. With a swing of his right arm, the three crystals flew towards Kaido with the sound of whistling wind.

Kaido quickly turned his head to avoid the fierce attack as the crystal brushed past his ear and shot backwards at lightning speed, smashing a thick stone pillar through with a whoosh. Spider-web-like cracks quickly spread around the hole, and the entire stone pillar collapsed with a loud bang, making a loud noise on the grass and raising a large cloud of dust.

The crystal's momentum continued unabated, it flew forward at a rapid speed like an arrow, rushed straight out of the edge of the island, and finally disappeared without a trace on the sea level.

“This guy…!”

Kaido glanced at the bloody scar on his left ear and was secretly shocked. He immediately changed his original head-on strategy and disappeared like a ghost. In an instant, countless figures of Kaido wielding iron bars emerged from all directions and surrounded Rubair in an instant.

"Oh, no! It seems difficult to face so many Kaido relatives at once~"

Rubair held his head and pretended to shout, and thousands of crystals quickly rotated around him, forming an indestructible circular protective shield.

With a series of ear-piercing metal collision sounds, Kaido raised the mace in his hand and collided with the protective shield countless times, stirring up dazzling sparks in the air. Even so, let alone creating cracks on the protective shield, he couldn't even shake it a little.

“Oh my, are you serious? Your fancy attacks have no effect on me… Huh?”

Rubair was slightly stunned. Even inside the airtight protective cover, he could clearly hear the "crackling" sound, like thunder.

"Descend to the third world? Lead to Naraku!"

With a powerful shout, Kaido leaped up, raised the mace in his hand above his head, and kept spinning it at high speed. The iron rod dragged a winding lightning and smashed down from the air below.

Just as the iron rod was about to fall on the top of the protective shield, at this moment, dense crystals scattered visibly. Under the refraction of sunlight, those crystals glowed crimson, like petals flying in the sky.

The original patch of grass was now empty.

"Varied......"

Kaido's mace missed and fell straight to the ground with a deafening explosion. Countless rocks flew everywhere and a big hole was instantly blasted out on the grass.

Just as he landed in the center of the pit and stood firm, feeling surprised, countless crystals gathered together and condensed into a giant snake. The giant snake let out a sharp roar, driving its long body to swim forward quickly, opening its big mouth and pouncing towards Kaido.

Seeing the giant snake's bloody mouth coming towards him, Kaido did not dare to be negligent. His strong body was flexible, and he jumped up like a bird of prey, doing a front flip in the air. The surface of the mace was surrounded by invisible waves, and he smashed down hard on the giant snake's head from top to bottom. Unexpectedly, the giant snake's body began to circle rapidly, turning into a crimson storm and sweeping towards Kaido. Kaido had no way to avoid it in mid-air, so he had to use all his strength to turn the mace in his hand and sweep it out. The two shadows of black and red collided violently, splashing a large area of ​​dazzling sparks, and the sound of metal colliding was endless.

“Gu…!”

As time went on, Kaido gradually felt exhausted. He felt a huge and irresistible force suddenly attacking him. He could no longer hold on. His body flew backwards like a cannonball and flew a distance in the air. At the critical moment, Kaido hurriedly did several backflips to eliminate the force and landed steadily back to the ground.

"This guy...is also very domineering!"

Kaido covered his chest and breathed slightly, his eyes wide open, staring at the man not far away who was gradually formed by dense crystals converging to a point.

"Normally, a natural ability user is like someone blessed by God. They can stand still and let the other party hack them all day without any problems. Of course, this is only true for those who don't know how to use Haki."

Rubair pulled at his tie, brushed off the dust on his clothes with his hands, and said with a grin, "So, I have also been practicing secretly to make up for my shortcomings! Even Brother Zhan Guo doesn't know about this, you have to keep it a secret for me!" After that, he looked around and spoke in a deliberately low voice, as if afraid of being heard by others.

——Anyone who is not blind can notice such a loud noise.

Although Kaido really wanted to say this, the serious situation before him forced him to remain silent. He bit his lip and observed the other party's every move.

——No matter how strong this guy is, he probably... no, he definitely has a flaw. If you calm down, you can think of a countermeasure!

at the same time.

"Stop it right now! Hey! Did you hear me?"

"How dare you deceive Admiral Rocks..."

"Don't think we can easily capture this place without the officers here. We are Rocks' pirates!"

The Rocky Harbor on Beehive Island was in ruins, with raging flames licking every building, gradually turning them into ruins, leaving only broken walls and ruins scattered on the scorched earth. The air was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the stench of corpses made people feel sick.

Five or six pirates armed with live ammunition stood on the ruins, their eyes revealing endless fear, their hands holding their weapons trembling constantly. Despite this, they still mustered up their courage and shouted provocations at the enemy who was approaching step by step.

"With such a huge disparity in combat power, you still dare to stand in front of me in groups. Should I say that you are courageous or ignorant and fearless..."

Before he finished speaking, a red light flashed by, and before people could see what was happening, several shocking blood marks instantly appeared on their chests. As blood flowers flew in the air, the bodies of the pirates fell down one after another.

"Ants without self-awareness don't even deserve to live."

Blood flowed along the shining tip of the knife, dripping onto the ground. The man, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, casually stepped over the corpses lying all over the place without even a glance, and walked straight towards the town.

"Help!"

"Do not kill me!"

"How dare you underestimate me! Ugh!"

Continuous howlings echoed all around. The once wide and bustling streets of the East District had become a hell on earth. Corpses were scattered all over the ground and blood dyed the earth red. A tall figure walked through the devastated land without hesitation, chopped down a pirate who came to block him, kicked the corpse against the wall, and threw it out due to the reaction force, and strode towards the skull in the center of the island.

In a dark alley, two children cautiously poked their heads out and watched the scene in front of them with nervous expressions, not daring to even breathe.

He had short black hair without a single stray hair, he wore a straw hat, and a symbolic red pirate outfit... Perospero had seen the wanted posters published in newspapers countless times. There was no doubt that it was the great pirate Roger who frightened countless civilians.

He has been arrogant since he was a child, and has always had an instinctive resistance to pirates whose bounties are higher than his mother's. Even if he meets Rocks on the street, he will not be polite, not to mention Newgate and Roger.

However, when this man named Roger appeared in front of Perospero for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation. He felt a huge pressure continuously stimulating his nerves, causing the boy's brain consciousness to be gradually occupied by fear. His pupils trembled violently, and his upper and lower rows of teeth were chattering constantly.

——The brain cannot calmly think about what to do...!
