One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Chapter 4 The Righteous Shilluk

The World Government was formed by 20 kings from 20 countries 170 years ago. Today, it has developed into a large organization with countries joining it, and it has long dominated the world. Every year, the member countries of the World Government need to pay a large amount of treasure to the government's aristocratic class, the Celestial Dragons, in exchange for the protection of the navy and the right to participate in the World Conference, which is the Celestial Gold. If the payment is not made on time, the country will be deprived of its privileges as a member country and will be reduced to an illegal area where pirates and human traffickers are rampant.

Therefore, no member state dared to disobey the government's orders, and some kings even exhausted their national strength to submit the heavenly gold. They all deeply understood how terrible it was to lose human rights.

"These are all steep cliffs, perfect for an ambush. Everyone must be vigilant and keep a close watch on the Tianshangjin. Don't let even a tiny insect get close to it!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Hundreds of sailors raised their right hands in unison and saluted solemnly. Their voices were extremely loud. Holding guns, they took steady steps and stood guard around a bulging black cloth tied with more than a dozen heavy iron chains. Their backs were as straight as pine trees, and their eyes were shining with determination, as if they were not afraid of any difficulties.

"Well, very good, this is a soldier from the Marine Headquarters!"

The colonel nodded with satisfaction, turned towards the cabin and said respectfully, "Mr. Xiluk, you can join the battle at any time."

"Haha~ There's no need to report this kind of basics to me..."

As a lazy and low voice sounded, the cabin door was pushed open and a figure walked out. His face was angular, his features were regular, his thin lips were covered with dense beard, and he wore an open white shirt, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles. There was a spiral tattoo on his chest. He was about two meters tall, with a long stick on his waist, and the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind. The word "justice" printed on it was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

The man yawned, and glanced at the sailors with his deep eyes. He pulled out the long stick from his waist, stood on the deck with a "dong" sound, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "I believe everyone knows the importance of this mission. The Celestial Dragons are the supreme gods in the world. Their orders are absolutely irresistible. Only by obeying the law can you become an excellent sailor!"

"This……"

After hearing this, the sailors looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. The colonel also looked very embarrassed.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, I have a question."

A new recruit who had just joined raised his hand and expressed his doubts, "We are soldiers who implement the name of 'justice'. It is our mission to eliminate pirates who harm civilians. Why must we act according to the ideas of the Celestial Dragons? Please answer me, Vice Admiral!"

The other marines all looked pale when they heard this. Xiluk seemed a little surprised by the question asked by this recruit. Then he looked at the man with a fake smile and said, "Well, this is indeed a question, and it is easy to answer. I will provide you with the correct answer."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed forward. For some reason, the recruit's face suddenly showed an extremely painful expression, and his entire right leg instantly twisted dozens of times like a pretzel, with blood splattering everywhere. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream resounded through the sky.

"Ahh! My legs!! They're deformed!"

The recruit hugged his broken right leg and rolled on the ground. Xiluk was not satisfied yet. He raised two fingers and did the same to the man's left hand, shouting, "Because the Celestial Dragons are 'justice', disobeying their orders is equivalent to 'evil'. You who raised objections are no longer qualified to be a navy. You will be punished according to military law and sentenced to death!"

His right index finger turned another 360 degrees, and the recruit's entire body twisted and deformed violently, with his limbs tangled together and gradually curled up into a ball.

Then, the sphere exploded, and blood splattered all over the ship like raindrops.

The navy here had participated in fighting to some extent, but they had never seen such a tragic scene, and they were all terrified. However, Xiluk was calm, swaggering on a chair, and said expressionlessly: "If anyone raises such a question again, I don't need to say more about the consequences, right?"

The sailors answered in unison: "Yes!"

"What a cruel guy... He is indeed a twisted man who ate the twisted fruit."

Having witnessed the scene through the telescope, Stussy was still frightened. She bent over and walked to Newgate, whispering, "Can we start now?"

"and many more."

Newgate stopped her with a wave of his hand. "Don't be fooled by his rough appearance. He is more cunning than anyone else. If you attack now, you will fall into his trap. Wait until their ship reaches the middle of the channel before you attack!"

"You are just like him."

Stussy made a joke and stopped talking, continuing to observe the naval ship through the telescope.

Newgate glanced at the opposite mountain and was relieved to see that the strong man he was most worried about did not make any obvious moves.

You little brat, don't mess with me at the critical moment.

In an instant, the navy ship had entered the middle of the strait, and the 500 pirates ambushing on the mountain were all in high spirits and tightened their weapons. Newgate saw that the time had come and was about to raise his naginata, but at this moment, the navy ship suddenly slowed down and stopped directly on the sea surface without moving.

"what?"

Newgate was puzzled by the navy's actions. He winked at Stussy, who understood and picked up the telescope to observe Shilluk's every move attentively. Seeing that he was holding a Den Den Mushi and talking on the phone, he put away the Den Den Mushi in a moment and turned his eyes sharply to the position of the camera.

Like the sharp and dangerous gaze of a bird of prey that has spotted its prey.

"not good!"

Stussy's heart trembled, realizing that their position had been exposed. She was about to report to Newgate, but then she saw several pirates being shot in the back and falling off the cliff one after another. They fell into the sea and became motionless.

"what happened?!"

The incident happened too suddenly, and the pirates were caught off guard. Newgate looked up to find the source of the gunshots. He didn't know when the clouds above were filled with dense naval forces, surrounding the strait. The number was ten times that of the pirates. Everyone had a cloak, and it was obvious that their military rank was above lieutenant.

"Hehe, Vice Admiral Xiluk guessed it right. There are indeed pirates ambushing here, so he sent our naval air force to get to the vicinity through another shortcut."

A navy captain swooped down with a gun in hand, stomping on the air at high speed with his legs, and kept firing at the pirates. He looked very proud and couldn't help but taunt them, "Are you Rocks' subordinates? You are nothing special. If you surrender now, I can spare your lives!"

"The coordination is perfect. This is worthy of being the World Government's army!"

Xiluk was quite impressed by the actions of those soldiers. A smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and shouted in a high voice, "Soldiers who can do the Moon Step will go up and attack those pirates. The rest of you will guard Tenshangjin with me. If any pirates try to approach, start bombarding them!"

"As you command, sir!"

Before he finished speaking, about a hundred navy men leaped forward, performing the Moon Step, one of the Navy's "Six Styles", and quickly climbed toward the top of the mountain.

"Damn it, I fell into that kid's trap again!"

Newgate cursed, turned to Stussy and asked, "How long does the 'little devil' last?"

"Thirty minutes left."

"Okay, this time is enough for us to fight back."

Newgate used his knife to block an incoming bullet, raised his voice to the maximum, and issued an order to all the crew members, "Those who can still fight, follow me to fight our way out, annihilate the navy, and take away the gold from the sky!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The pirates, who were already in chaos, were all excited when they heard the leader's voice. They spread their wings from the tops of the mountains on both sides and flew high into the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with the navy in the air. Newgate clenched his naginata with both hands and swung it upwards. A light green shock wave mixed with lightning-like domineering aura poured out, blowing away a large number of the navy in the air, and they fell towards the sea.

"I didn't expect those pirates could fly. It must be due to the ability of one of them. That Newgate guy is really good at it..."

Witnessing the fierce battle in the sky, Xiluk couldn't help but exclaimed. He took the black tea handed to him by a navy, took a sip, and looked very enjoyable. "But how will you deal with this?"

Xiluk put his finger into the black tea and shook it gently, then took it out. The surface of the black tea began to spin at a very high speed, making a "sizzling" sound. The man grinned, quickly picked up the cup of black tea and threw it upwards. The tea turned into countless spiral arrows, shooting into the sky like raindrops, at a speed as fast as a meteor. Before the pirates could react, they were pierced through the abdomen by the arrows and died on the spot.

"Be careful of the water arrows shooting up from below!"

One pirate noticed that the situation was not good and immediately sent a signal to his companions. The pirates blocked the navy while dodging the water arrows that came from time to time. After all, they were not proficient in using their wings. Soon, dozens of pirates were either chopped down or shot through by sharp arrows. Even some of the navy were affected by the rain of arrows and fell from the sky.

"You don't even let your own people go..."

Newgate used his naginata to protect his whole body, deflecting all the water arrows that approached him. The screams that came from time to time made him upset. He glanced back and saw that Stussy was also shot in the arm by a sharp arrow and fell to the ground, with a layer of frost on his face.

I'm sorry, brothers. Although this will cause a devastating blow to this area, if we don't use our abilities at this time, it will only lead to greater sacrifices...!

Newgate closed his eyes and made up his mind. He condensed the surrounding air on his right wrist to form a round spherical cover. Just as he crossed his arms and was about to release it towards the bottom of the strait, he suddenly saw a dark shadow jump from the edge of the cliff on the opposite mountain and rush straight down.

"who?!"

The remaining navy officers were startled when they noticed the figure falling from the sky. They raised their cannons and fired upwards. The man waved his weapon, continuously knocking back the oncoming cannon fire, causing violent explosions on the rock wall. He aimed at one of the cannonballs, and when it passed by him, he kicked his legs hard against the surface of the cannonball and rushed towards the navy ship like a gust of wind and lightning.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a big hole was smashed into the deck, and the surrounding navy was blown away by the impact. The uninvited guest climbed out of the hole without any injuries on his body. He touched the back of his head which was slightly painful and muttered to himself: "I should have known not to take such a risk next time..."

The man, carrying a mace in his hand, strode to a navy officer who was sitting on a chair with a teacup in his hand and a slightly stunned expression. He pointed the mace at the man and asked arrogantly, "Are you their leader? I really appreciate your care just now."

Xiluk raised his lips and crushed the teacup in his hand. He straightened his collar, stood up, and asked in a loud voice: "You can arrive here safely, which shows that you are not an unknown person. Can you tell me your name so that I can write your name on your tombstone?"

"My name is Kaido, and I am the man who will conquer the world in the future."

The man grinned and pointed his left thumb at himself, "Let me enjoy it. Maybe by tomorrow, I won't remember you anymore!"
