I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

In this sea where sail battleships are the main ships, ocean navigation is quite difficult.

If there are no islands along the way for supply and repair, it will be difficult to support a large fleet's voyage. This is why Venkula ordered an island landing operation. If he does not take Whale Tail Island, he will only annihilate Whale Tail Island. Of course, the fleet does not have to worry about being sabotaged in the rear.

But the cost of doing this is that the supply line will be stretched several times.

The massive logistical burden would overwhelm an entire fleet.

so,

Whether you like it or not, landing on the island is a must.

Under the command of Sword Venkura, large numbers of soldiers from the Kingdom of Amento and pirates from all sides set foot on the land, like a black swarm of insects, densely swarming towards the tower isolated in the ruins outside the port. .

There are more than fifty battleships, even though they are not large battleships of the same specifications.

The largest flagship has nearly a thousand sailors and soldiers, and the next-level battleships can also accommodate more than 700 people. Among them, the third-level battleships with the largest number can also have a full 500 people on board, regardless of the need to stay and control them. In addition to the sailors of the battleship, the number of soldiers and pirates who landed was still quite large.

A total of 20,000 people landed on Whale Tail Island.

As the saying goes, if there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit.

Standing on the tower and looking down at the ant-like crowds of people below is a very interesting feeling, especially when the crowds below are all enemies who are here to take their lives, it is even more exciting.

"There are a lot of people!"

Elus stood on the terrace, overlooking the shaking heads below, watching the screaming pirates slashing at the tower door with their swords, and the well-trained soldiers holding their muskets high, pointing towards the tower standing on the terrace. Elus pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Bullets flew high into the sky.

but,

But it didn't play any role.

Elvus waved his hand and knocked away all the flying bullets with his bare hands. As a user with [Animal Type·Bat Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Black Winged Demon Form], with the help of Bengyu, he perfectly The earth has inherited various abilities of the Black Wing Demon, such as the most basic [Steel Skin].

The so-called steel skin is an armor-like skin that cannot be penetrated by swords. It is said to have high spiritual pressure hardness, and ordinary attacks cannot deal with it.

There is nothing surprising about blocking a bullet with your bare hands.

Even if he stood still and faced the bombardment with his body, there would be no problem. He had done experiments in the palace. If he didn't use his armament Haki, ordinary pure physical attacks would not be able to break through [Steel Skin] 】 defense.

Only the Great Knife or even the Supreme Knife, a rare weapon in the world, can break through the defense of steel skin without the help of armed domineering force.

The Kingdom of Exmundo has a collection of sharp swords.

"boom!"

The gate below the tower was breached.

But not from the outside in, but from the inside out.

The maid who was so noisy by the banging sound at the door kicked the heavy iron-wood door wrapped in iron sheets to pieces. The flying wood made the pirates gathered at the door wail in pain. However, this was not enough. After all, the angry Fran cannot be dismissed casually.

"You guys are too noisy."

She said so.

At the same time, he punched out, and the fist wind like a storm swept across the border. Unfortunately, the pirates and soldiers who were enveloped in the fist wind were blown back to the sea. In this overwhelming crowd, they were forced to A wide avenue was opened up.

"Fran, this is my prey."

on the terrace,

Elus shouted angrily.

"You are not allowed to do it again..." Before the word "shoot" could be uttered, a black shadow appeared behind Fran. The man, who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, waved the three-foot-long sword in his hand. The meter-long serrated knife slashed hard at Fran's neck.

"Clang!"

Fran blocked the falling serrated knife with her arm.

A layer of illusory golden-red gauze wrapped around the maid's arm, and it was this layer of seemingly unrealistic stuff that forcibly held up the serrated knife blessed with armed domineering energy.

"The pirate with a bounty of 13 million, the Skull Hunter, Gazette."

Fran recited the name of this man who was like a bamboo pole.

A smile appeared on her pretty face.

She raised her head, looked at Elus standing on the terrace, and said loudly: "Your Highness, this time I am not taking the initiative, this is passive defense."

After all,

His left hand was a swift straight punch.

The powerful Skull Hunter, who was surprised by Fran, was caught off guard and suffered a big loss. The heavy fist like a giant cannon almost hit Gazette's stomach with lightning speed. It would have directly killed him, if he hadn't used his Armament Haki in time.

However, this sneak attack also completely angered this vicious pirate who was notorious for his obsession with hunting the heads of his enemies.

"I'm going to chop off your head and scalp you!"

Gazette roared loudly and angrily waved the glistening serrated knife in his hand.

————

"Skull Hunter? What an idiot!"

After Elus glanced at the incompetent and furious idiot below the tower, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, rested his elbows on the wall, and looked up at the man who appeared at the top of the tower, "Sword Sword Venkura , since you climbed upstairs secretly, why don’t you do it quickly?”

"The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Ecmundo, Soccachio Eleus... The information I saw said that you are proficient in political power and your personal force is outstanding... It seems that we Intelligence officers made huge mistakes."

Venkula held the slender foil sword in his hand.

He didn't rush to draw his sword at Eleus, and even stopped the soldiers under the tower from shooting at Eleus.

"Your Highness, surrender! If you can convince your father to dedicate this country to Lord Umit, I can give your family a way out on behalf of Lord Umit."

"...Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?"

Elvus blinked his eyes and almost stared out of his eyes. What kind of fun was this?

"What? Do you think I'm too arrogant? Or do you think that with [Beautiful Sword] and [Fighting Dog], you can stop Lord Umit's will? I can tell you, this is absolutely impossible. Even if you hang the Whitebeard flag, you can't block Lord Umit's path forward."

"If you don't want to be crushed into powder and your family doesn't want to disappear into history, just..."

"You are so long-winded!"

Elus was getting tired of hearing this.

It’s really... nonsense with no new ideas!

"...It seems that if you don't know the true face of this world, you won't be able to make a wise enough judgment! Your Highness."

Venkula jumped from the roof of the tower.

A pale sword light drew an incredible arc in the air, and stabbed Eleus's kidneys at a strange angle.
