The will of the Creator will never allow such an evil taboo to exist in the world - this time, we want to ensure complete and irreparable destruction! Leave no mercy unturned! ”

Jaygorucia Satan's words were full of irreversible will and murderous aura, but Timothy did not respond in time, but looked up at the location of the temple on the top of the hill.

"What are you doing? St. Timothy? ”

The Blonde Five Elder Stars took over from Jaigor Lucia Satansheng and spoke, "Are you dissatisfied with the will of the Creator that we have relayed? ”

"Of course not, my esteemed Martial Gods,"

In the face of such accusations, Timothy finally shook his head, but his eyes still did not take his eyes off the location of the temple on the top of the hill - "I...... Forget it, I'll get back to you later. ”

“……”

After decisively hanging up the phone bug that contacted the five old stars, Timothy glanced at Sauron and Major Hardy who had fallen to the ground, and decisively raised his hand slightly, and purple ripples appeared in his palm:

"I'm sure you can hear what I'm saying, the guy who almost hid my perception and was watching everything in the dark......"

"Do you want to bet with me?"

"See if I'm going to wipe out these two guys and the island before you make a move?"

“……”

One second—three seconds—five seconds—the sound of birds flying in the sky was the only answer Timothy received.

"Well, it looks like we won't be able to meet, mystery man......"

Timothy shook his head—"Hum! ”

With a soft sound, the purple ripples in his palm, as if alive, began to surge wildly, "Then-"

"I see, an extremely rare and extremely powerful spatial type of Devil Fruit ability? No wonder you are so confident, this Master Timothy......"

"But thanks to you, I've heard a lot of things in the Kuwa-wa-ichi~"

The signature flirtatious tone and mantra of the vultures revealed the identity of the guy who was secretly peeping - it was since the Millennium Dragon incident that it had only existed in the phone call with Nami, and Polusalino, who had been "hidden" for a long time, was slowly walking out from behind Timothy at the moment.

"So—why don't you get out your gun and let me bet on you if you have any bullets in it?"

Polusalino smiled and raised his fingers, and the dazzling golden light bloomed without showing weakness.

……

At the same time, on the other side, on the deck of the warship, fierce battles took place.

"For the sake of Lieutenant General Nelson, they must not be allowed to break through!"

"Protect the chains!"

"If a pirate gang of just a few people breaks through our invincible chain formation here, this ship will attract the joke of the whole fleet!"

Dozens of sailors drew their swords and slashed at this side.

"These guys probably can talk to that fighting idiot Green Algae Head very well!"

"Hee-hee, isn't it exciting to have a lively fight?"

Sanji and Luffy of the assault team begin to meet the enemy head-on.

"Finger Gun - Gatling!"

Click, click, click!

Luffy didn't need to use the ability of the Dark Fruit at all, just using the special skill of "Pointing Spear", and the sailors standing on his left and right fell one by one. These well-trained Lieutenant General Nelson's subordinates were like puppets at this moment, and they flew into the sea at the slightest touch.

"I have to work hard here, but I can't let this kid be in the limelight alone!"

Thinking of Nami and the lovely Abyss watching him on the Merry, Sanji was equally full of fighting spirit, and turned around and gave a flying kick to one of the sailors who tried to attack him.

"Chopper, leave these enemies to us! You go and cut off the chains! ”

"Good! Be careful! Jump Enhancement! ”

Chopper, who was reassigned by Nami to assist the assault duo, nodded vigorously, and with the enhanced bounce power, he reached the other side of the warship in one fell swoop.

Taking out the slash shell that Nami had given him, Chopper walked along the side of the ship to the giant lock of dozens of chains that connected the two warships.

“……”

The contrast between the tiny Chopper and the huge metal chains stunned the sailors.

"That's how Zoro usually works......

Chopper lowered his waist, and although he didn't have a famous knife in his hand, he still imitated the preparation of the slashing action he saw in Sauron - just like in the original plot, he thought that the most handsome of his friends was Sauron!

Click-

In a flash of cold light, the lock like a huge rock was easily cut off by the slash of Zoro stored in the slashing berry, like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Then, the giant lock that locked the chain quickly spun, and the chain inside fell into the sea under the action of its own gravity. Eventually, the chain turned around and slammed into the sea, making huge splashes.

"Well done! Chopper! Let Sanji make you a marshmallow when the time comes! ”

The moment the chain fell into the sea, Nami in the cab cheered.

"That's amazing! Everyone is so good! ”

Abyss looked at the battlefield excitedly.

In fact, although Abyss has always thought that Luffy and the others are very powerful, she still feels that if she encounters a naval fleet of this size, it is impossible to win.

That's what the adults on Gunkan Island have always said - no matter how powerful the pirates are, they can't match the navy's fleet.

However, from the side of the warship, there was a constant sound of "dong dong dong", which was the sound of the sailors falling into the sea one after another!

Then, the giant lock on the other side was also broken. And the reinforcements that came from another warship were also sent into the sea one by one by Luffy and Sanji.

"See? Frankie! Prepare to break through the Merry from this place! ”

"Got it!"

There was a breakthrough in the chain formation, and the Golden Merry quickly rushed through it along this opening.

The shelling of the enemy ships, which had been beaten to pieces by the assault squad, also completely lost momentum. The other warships, because they had entered a shooting blind spot, did not hit the Golden Merry at all.

The situation seems to be completely tilted in Luffy and the others!

But at this moment—

Bang Bang!

A huge bell rang, it was a warning sound on the warship, coming from the sea area behind Luffy and the others, which was quite shocking!

"Hey, what's that!?"

Frankie's eyes flew out, and he looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.

The top-secret ship, which had not moved since the beginning of the battle, had a ghost face the size of the entire Merry at the bow, and its mouth opened impressively—inside the mouth, the huge and swarthy muzzle was aimed at the Golden Merry.

"Being hit by shelling of this caliber, even the Merry, which is made of special alloys and Adam Treasure Tree, can't hold it!"

"And the aftermath of the explosion...... Does the other side want to sink their own warships together?! ”

When Frankie and Nami's expressions were ugly - "Grandpa Dragon! ”

Abyss suddenly thought of Grandpa Long's situation - if the warships couldn't survive, Grandpa Long wouldn't have a good end!

"Abith!"

Nami grabbed Abyss by the shoulders just in time to stop her.

"No, you can't let Grandpa Long stay there alone!" Abisi's voice lowered, "I can't help at all in the battle, and the only thing I can do is stay with Grandpa Long at this time!" ”

“……”

Nami chose to respect Ablis's will and let go of her hand, and the little girl immediately descended from the back deck to the raft that Grandpa Long was riding in a net.

At this time, Grandpa Long was curled up all over his body, lying quietly. Its feathers were already soaked due to the splashing of sea water from the shelling.

"—I'll definitely bring Grandpa Dragon back to the Dragon's Lair! Even if the result is death, I will keep my promise! ”

Abyss thought so, and then put her head on Grandpa Long's body - "Grandpa Long, don't give up!" ”

She said firmly.

"Pirates! I will never forgive you today! I won't let you escape! The power of this ghost king's cannon will shatter your bones! ”

"But, Lieutenant General! At such a close distance, our ships will also be damaged! ”

"Don't worry! The serial formation of my Nelson fleet is never defeated! And, if they're broken by a bunch of pirates, let them turn into seaweed along with the pirates! For my useless subordinates, let them fight and die for me, is my reward for them! ”

"But if it's hit by a cannon...... The Millennium Dragon will also be reduced to pieces, and the keel you want will sink to the bottom of the sea! ”

"Wha! It's not a new world with an average depth of more than 5,000 meters, it's just a remote part of the park...... I will arrange a salvage team, and when the time comes, as long as I can pick up a few fragments of the keel, it will be enough! ”

"But ......"

"That's it! Shut up! Watch who you are, Adjutant! Ghost King Cannon! Ready to launch! The target is Luffy's group of pirate ships! ”

"Target Pirate Ship! Ready for launch! ”

The subordinate answered Nelson's order.

The ghost-faced cannon, with its exaggerated shape and exaggerated caliber, slowly moved and began to adjust the angle. If you get hit by this thing - not even directly, if the shell falls around the ship, it will tip the ship over!

Even a ship as big as Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick, is no exception!

"Attack!"

Rumble......!!!

A huge cannon sound that could move the heavens and the earth rang out, shaking the entire sea.

Abisi, who was lying on Grandpa Long's body, held the consciousness of being buried at the bottom of the sea with Grandpa Long, and temporarily raised her head and looked up!

But the cannonballs of the cannon did not fall after a long time—

Abyss got up from the raft.

"Ahh

She was stunned—on the sea behind the Golden Merry, she could see a huge battleship with a super ghost-faced cannon emitting billowing smoke.

"That cannon is out of order!?"

"How is this possible!?"

The sailors on Nelson's flagship all looked at the battleship with the ghost-faced cannon.

As can be seen from the billowing black smoke and the unusual flames that burned in the black smoke, it was not a malfunction, but gunpowder that exploded on the flagship!

"That's amazing! Golden Merry! It's definitely the best boat in the world! ”

Frankie patted the rudder of the Golden Merry with both joy and triumph.

"Frankie, is it your ......!?"

"Hmph, like that exaggerated and clumsy giant cannon, it is already a backward battleship weapon, except for being able to scare people, compared with the new weapons on the Merry, there is no advantage!"

The Golden Merry had Frankie's elaborate weapons dock system, including the torpedoes he had secretly released earlier - the torpedoes were loaded with special ammunition, were very small in weight, and were slow, not much in size like a child like Ablis. But because of this, it is possible to silently approach enemy ships and then attack the weapons systems of enemy ships.

And if it weren't for the fact that the top-secret battleship equipped with the Ghost Face Cannon itself is extremely advanced and has a powerful damage management system, its current situation is not just that the simple weapon system has been destroyed, but that the entire ship has been shattered into pieces due to the explosion of the ammunition depot!

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Attack! Attack! Attack the whole ship! Sink them for me! ”

The Ghostface Cannon, which he had high expectations, failed to show its due power at all, and Nelson was so angry that he simply left it behind and commanded the fleet loudly.

Boom, boom, boom!

The rest of the warships may have hesitated, but Nelson's own flagship, with its guns firing without regard for the accidental damage of its own ships, once again stirred up a high column of water around the Merry.

"Wow! Ahhh ”

The raft on which Ablis and Grandpa Long were riding shook from side to side, and they were all soaked, unable to open their eyes from the seawater that seemed to be mixed with the smell of gunsmoke. Moreover, Grandpa Long, who was already old, seemed to have become weaker because of the bad situation at this time, and the whole dragon exuded the aura of decay and death.

"Grandpa Long......!"

Grandpa Long didn't answer Ablis.

Grandpa Long's whispers could not be heard on the noisy battlefield, and Grandpa Long's language, which she alone could understand, was completely drowned out in the constant shelling.
