The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

above the sea,

The two fleets met unexpectedly, and the battle started the moment they saw each other's flag.

bang bang,

The Don Quixote came across, and the cannon holes on the sides of the ship burst into flames.

Dozens of "low-quality explosive rock" shells hit the hull of the battleship on the opposite side. Large amounts of brown dust and smoke instantly rose up from the bow and sides of the ship, which was a mixture of wood chips, iron flakes, and even crumb-like flesh and blood.

In order to utilize the firepower of this armed merchant ship, Rossi and others had to allow clone soldiers of the Vinsmoke family to serve as gunners on the ship.

"Damn, these guys' weapons are too advanced, aren't they?!"

On the warship belonging to Parada opposite, the captain of the kingdom wearing a coat fiercely raised the command knife in his hand.

"Charge, charge over—?!"

The captain was just about to give the order when he saw the battleship on the opposite side turn around, give up its firepower advantage, and charge towards them.

As the Don Quixote moved, all kinds of pirate ships and armed merchant ships behind them started to move. Their firepower was not as good as the warships opposite, let alone compared to the Don Quixote.

It was precisely in order to take care of these good and bad guys behind that the Don Quixote moved forward bravely, like an arrow leading the entire fleet to charge towards the opposite side.

"Kill!"

"Hahaha, for the treasure!!"

"The Warriors of Pelada,"

"For our loved ones, for our home -"

The sun shines on the sea, the waves surge, and the artillery fire continues. The two fleets shouting different slogans are like knights on the sea, crashing into each other!

On the deck, the pirates waved their swords and guns, or raised their flintlock guns, climbed on the sail ropes and swung towards the opposite side, screaming.

On the other side, the soldiers belonging to Parada also formed military formations one by one based on the ship's side, forts, and masts. The crackling lead bullets whizzed out, shaking the bodies of the pirates hanging on the ropes, with the excitement of shooting. The blood fell powerlessly to the sea.

puff,

Even in the sea, there are pirates and soldiers who have fallen into the water and are fighting.

Occasionally, a strong man with fins on his back and webbed fingers would grab the pirates who had fallen into the water and drag them into the sea.

That is the 'Murloc' that belongs to Parada. As the four strongest non-franchised countries in the North Sea, they have very strong fighting will in terms of personnel and weapons. They are not the same opponents that Rossi and others have encountered before. grade.

boom! boom! boom!

However, at this critical moment, the soldiers on the warship deck suddenly turned their guns and fired deadly lead bullets at their colleagues around them.

"What are you doing?!"

"No...it's not..."

"Our bodies are moving on their own—"

A group of sailors with horrified faces shouted. Although their consciousness was clear, their bodies involuntarily attacked other colleagues.This involuntary situation made him burst into tears.

"Kill me, kill me!"

"I can't control myself, I'm the enemy's esper!"

"Fufofuf~~"

The shadow of the huge Don Quixote hid the warship.

Standing proudly on the bow of the ship, Dover opened his arms and kept moving his fingers. The parasitic thread had already taken control of the soldiers on the opponent's deck.

"Surrender, or destruction?"

Facing Dover's ultimatum, the captain of the warship did not answer. Instead, he clenched the command knife in his hand and swung forward suddenly.

"Destroy the ship!"

The half-moon-shaped flying slash shot out and struck Dover in the air.

This captain is also a swordsman.

As soon as the figure flashed, Virgo flew in front of Dover, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Clang!

Vergo's whole body was shaken by the harsh sound of Jingo fighting, and blood began to ooze from a red crack on his arm, but to him, such an injury was nothing more than a superficial wound.

"Whip the whip!"

When Vergo blocked the flying slash, Dover, who had finished charging up, raised his arm high and swung it forward.

A long whip made of countless thin threads rolled out like a strange python, letting out a shrill roar!

When it hit the warship, the decks exploded, almost disemboweling the warship.

"Damn it, it's Doflamingo, the 'Red King' of the Don Quixote family!"

The captain dodged the whip and glanced at the deck split open by the 'whip' with an ugly expression. The reputation of the Don Quixote family had spread throughout the North Sea as the battle became increasingly fierce.

That striking 'pink' feathered coat is where Dover's nickname of the 'Red King' came from.

"Be careful, the other side also has a 'Black King' who is good at assassination!"

When the swordsman captain shouted a reminder, Dover, who was wearing a pink coat, had already leapt down and landed on the deck of the warship.

"Don't worry, Rosie isn't here."

?

Hearing Dover's words, the captain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the flagship 'Aegis' located in the center of the fleet.

"Quickly, contact Major General Amini——"

After hearing the captain's order, the first mate behind him, holding a knife, immediately took out a phone bug, and then there was only a series of busy signals of "Bulu Bulu Bulu".

? !

"Fufufu, your chain of command is finished!"

----

"Call the order:"

"Turn thirty degrees to the left, port gunner, prepare!"

"Let the 'Iron Shoe' protect the injured 'Horse'..."

On the deck of the Holy Shield, stood a burly man wearing a general's coat (imitation of the navy), thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Cropped hair, military boots, camouflage pants, and a small vest, revealing the solid, muscular muscles all over his body with a metallic sheen.

"Major General Amini, phone bug——"

The anxious voice of the herald next to him interrupted the short-haired general's order, causing him to turn his head in displeasure.

? !

In the hand of the herald is a telephone bug with its mouth constantly opening and closing.

Strangely, no sound was made.

"This is... don't even think about it!"

He stretched out his hand to grab his herald. Before the herald could react, a clang exploded in his ears, causing the herald to pounce to the side subconsciously.

"As expected of a major general,"

Behind the herald, there appeared a young man wearing a black feather coat. The long and narrow samurai sword in his hand had a black and red flame pattern. It was Rossi!

And the Third Generation Ghost in his hand was firmly held by the general named 'Amini'.

"Is it your fault——"

The officer grabbed the third generation Kitetsu with the five fingers of his left hand, and at the same time made a fist with his right hand and suddenly punched Rossi.

"'Black King' Rocinante!"

Facing the officer's giant fist that glowed with metal, Rossi stretched out his left hand and spread his fingers to block the opponent's attack.

Snapped,

The fists and palms collided, and Rossi's whole body swayed rapidly like a willow tree in the wind, but his feet seemed to be rooted, not taking a step back!His face turned red for a moment, then returned to normal.

What a strong force,

Ka Kacha!

At the same time, the deck under Rossi's feet was centered on him, and the radiation suit blasted dozens of spider-like gaps behind him, directly exposing the cabin below.

If Rossi hadn't transferred the opponent's impact to his feet, this punch would have been enough to choke even him.

"let go--"

Come and don't go indecently,

After receiving the opponent's punch, Rossi immediately took off with a flying kick!Go straight to the opponent's crotch, forcing the opponent to let go of the third generation Kitetsu.

Clang!

Amidst the sound of metal hitting, Rossi's expression changed.

"It's useless,"

The fist was neutralized by Rossi. The Major General Amini opened his fingers and grabbed Rossi regardless, not caring about his counterattack.

···

"Shake your feet!"

Facing the officer who didn't even frown when his son was kicked, Rossi directly raised his leg and stepped down hard.

click-

Although the deck of this battleship was made of fine wood, Rossi couldn't help but trample it with all his strength.A large piece of wood exploded on the spot with a crackling sound, causing the two of them to fall down.

The deck exploded, and the two entangled people fell into the cabin below the deck.

The next second, the entire 'Holy Shield' shook suddenly!

"Bullet Punch!"

A sharp roar erupted from the cabin, mixed with flying sawdust!In the heat wave, a black figure flew out.

brush,

After some backflips in the air to relieve his force, Rossi's coat spread out with a splash behind him. Rossi landed on the side of the Aegis, holding the third generation Kitetsu in front of him.

"What a risk, what a risk,"

"If it falls, it'll be over."

"Hmph, who are you kidding?"

Major General Amini jumped out from the huge hole on the deck, took off his coat, and revealed a powerful outfit, and slammed his fists together.

Clang!

"One of the two kings of the Don Quixote family, the 'Black King' Rocinante."

"People with the Silence Fruit ability are very powerful in physical and sword skills, and can even fly across the sea. Am I right?"

Gee, this is the price of being famous.

It's impossible for Rossi to kill all the enemies in every battle, not to mention that there are other pirates who have been won over by the Vinsmoke family in the battle. It is normal for the other party to know their ability information.

That's the battle, intelligence is the first step.

Only the future Straw Hats will move forward without even knowing what the enemy is capable of...

"Now that you know my abilities, your failure is already doomed."

As Rossi, who was standing on the side of the ship, snapped his fingers, the 'soundproof barrier' covering the battleship quietly unfolded.In an instant, the noise of gunfire disappeared, shocking everyone on the battleship.

At the same time, on both sides of the chaotic battlefield, a large piece of the sky and sea suddenly 'falled' out of thin air, revealing the Vinsmoke family's snail battleship behind it.

? !

"This is my family companion's ability to draw patterns of the sky and ocean on the 'canvas' to achieve the 'invisible' effect."

As the upper level of the 'Bi Bi Fruit', although the Art Fruit cannot express anything in a painting, there is no problem in just making a curtain that can confuse people.

At the same time, the 'Aegis', which was constantly spitting out shells, gradually became silent, because in the cabin, Peake used the swimming fruit to shuttle back and forth at will, constantly knocking down the soldiers in the ship.

"Asshole, notify me immediately——"

The general in the vest and camouflage pants subconsciously wanted to command the fleet to change its formation to meet the enemy, but as soon as he took a step, he realized:

Without getting rid of the young man in front of you, no sound can be heard!

"Are you going to kill me first?"

Facing the short-haired general with a dangerous look in his eyes, Rossi took the time to make a sword out of the third generation ghost in his hand.

"That's impossible. If I hadn't just tested your defense, you wouldn't have been able to touch me."

"'Steel Fruit' ability user, Major General Amini."

Before the war started, the other party was able to obtain Rossi's information, and Rossi was naturally able to obtain the other party's information.

The Superman-type Steel Fruit can turn the user's entire body into steel. It is a 'superhuman body' devil fruit that changes the body.

"As long as I hold you back, it will only be a matter of time before this fleet is destroyed after losing its command——"

Rossi, who declared victory, frowned because he couldn't see a trace of panic on the opponent's face, and even the corners of his steel-like mouth were slightly raised.

"It is you, the Don Quixote family, who have fallen into the trap."

?

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly penetrated the 'Don Quixote'!

Although there was no sound, the exaggerated white air waves were like razors, cutting a deep dent in the sea.

"What ability is this?"

Rossi's eyes quickly scanned the source of the light, and what he saw was a strong man with red messy hair and dark skin.

Could this guy be——?

"Cannonball punch!"

With a scream, a fist shining with red light struck Rossi.

The fist of Major General Amini, who was going all out, glowed with a hot red light, like red-hot steel.

boom!

The terrifying heat exploded, creating a huge gap in the side of the ship where Rossi was standing.

brush,

The third generation ghost in Rossi's hand dodged and leaped in the air, and swung out from above, stabbing Major General Amini's neck from top to bottom, but with a clang, sparks flew into the sky.

But it failed to break through the defense of the 'Steel Fruit'!
