Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 164: The Great Battle Begins! (Second Update Requested)

The Treasure of the King!

Patterns resembling water ripples appeared in the space behind, and countless weapons emerged from it.

In the next second!

Countless weapons roared and shot out.

There were knives, guns, swords, and halberds...

It was like the simultaneous firing of ten thousand cannons, but much stronger than mere cannonballs.

Countless weapons fell like rain, bombarding the fleet of the Big Mom Pirates.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ships were constantly shattered, people were constantly killed, and the sea was shaken by the bombardment. The few remaining ships were shaking uncontrollably.

Suppressing the fleet of the Four Emperors single-handedly?!

How exaggerated!

Whether it was the members of the Big Mom Pirates or Gilgamesh's team, they all stared dumbfounded at everything happening.

"You scoundrel!"

Charlotte Linlin was furious, wielding the hilt of Napoleon's sword with her double-horned hat, using the blade to knock away the weapons that were being sprayed at her.

"Counterattack! Fire!" Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte family, reacted quickly and shouted the order.

Only then did everyone react and bring out the cannons, aiming them at the shore.

Fortunately, the cannonballs and cannons of the Big Mom Pirates were all homies, so they could adjust their direction themselves. They could jump into the cannon barrels; otherwise, it would be really difficult to react under such intense attacks.

Charlotte Linlin possessed the Paramecia Soul Fruit ability, which allowed her to manipulate souls and gain control over species with human thoughts and powers—homies.

The soldiers of the Big Mom Pirates, as well as some of the high-ranking officers, were all powerful warriors derived from this ability.

Of course, there were also ships, cannons, doors, candies, tea, and so on.

At first glance, it seemed like a fairy tale paradise.

Under the overwhelming suppression of the endless treasure of the king, the cannonballs were difficult to launch.

Compared to the countless weapons, there were too few cannonballs!

Cannons, my goodness!

Although Gilgamesh had the fewest cannons and not many ships, in front of this man, they were instead suppressed and looked insignificant!

"Ships, approach the shore and charge in!" Katakuri shouted angrily.

At this rate, the entire fleet would be destroyed by that man!

Although Charlotte Linlin was a mother and a captain, she hardly took care of things. Or rather, with her ferocious temperament, she was more like a warrior than a commander.

Her army was commanded by her offspring, and everyone naturally knew whose orders to follow at this moment.

Without hesitation, they struggled to approach the shore, braving Gilgamesh's attacks.

Even if they couldn't rely on the ships to approach the shore, they would fly towards the shore with the help of some homies that could float in the sky.

For example, Pudding possessed the homies "Jelly Nitro" and "Blanket Rabian," the latter of which could fly.

...

Other offspring also had similar homies to varying degrees. Even if they didn't, it wouldn't be a big problem to find a homie to ride on among their nearby siblings.

Although Gilgamesh's attacks cleared out most of the small fries, it is difficult for experts to die under large-scale attacks.

"Now it's our turn!" Shiryu grinned, showing an excited smile.

"Yeah... cheers," Bassk Jote took a sip of his drink.

Xuan Yue Hunter Katelina Dapeng pursed her lips. "A battle against the Four Emperors... now that's interesting!"

Doflamingo shook his head.

Then, without hesitation, they led the others and charged towards the crew members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Shiryu faced off against Katakuri, Doflamingo faced off against Smoothie...

The others also found their opponents.

In fact, they didn't have to follow the rules of knightly combat, where kings fight kings and generals fight generals.

Most of the time, even if you don't want to fight the other party, they will eventually come looking for you.

Eliminating small fries is easy for these experts, but as they continue to eliminate them, they will encounter other experts.

Experienced small fries know that once the experts start fighting, they need to immediately create enough space for them, otherwise they will be dragged into the fight and meet their demise!

Of course, the space left for the fight is not fixed, but slowly shifts depending on the fighting parties.

As the high-level battles gradually stabilize, the overall situation becomes clearer.

Doflamingo and the other high-level fighters engage in intense battles, forming the main battlefield.

Around the main battlefield are various smaller battlefields, where the lower-ranking executives fight for their lives.

And on the outermost periphery are the ordinary small fries, who form teams and cooperate with each other in battle, or rely on numbers.

Gilgamesh squinted his eyes and scanned the whole scene. "What a bunch of trash..."

His troops were being suppressed by the enemy!

The main composition of Gilgamesh's forces consists of prisoners who escaped from Impel Down, plus some pirates who joined him later due to his reputation.

Their strengths vary, and they are not accustomed to group battles.

They often fight individually and are then divided and annihilated by the enemy.

Although they are not inferior to Charlotte Linlin in terms of top-level experts, they are completely suppressed by the Four Emperors' pirate crew at the lower level!

After all, they are the ones standing at the top of the sea!

Even if they couldn't mobilize their entire army, even if they were heavily bombarded by Gilgamesh before landing.

But they still have the power to suppress ordinary teams.

This cannot be blamed on Gilgamesh. He rose too late, and time was too short for him to gather qualified warriors.

Even though his charisma is strong, he still needs people to join him first, to slowly get in touch with them and win them over!

With few numbers and weak strength, how can they fight?

In fact, if it weren't for the ability to construct fortifications (Caster): A, they would have probably been defeated long ago.

Fortification construction is a standard skill for the Caster profession.

When Gilgamesh acts as a Caster, he can construct a powerful magic workshop and even turn a stronghold into a super fortress that is difficult for even a leader to invade.

The Uruk fortress itself was designed by Gilgamesh!

Of course, this temporary island didn't require much effort from him, he just built it casually.

But it was enough to temporarily withstand the Big Mom Pirates!

Gilgamesh snorted.

Having his own skills and still being suppressed by the Four Emperors... they are all just amateurs!

"But it's fine," Gilgamesh's gaze was deep as he looked at the woman charging towards him with her massive figure.

"After all, the one who can truly decide the battle is the battlefield on our side!"
