Boom!
A muffled thunder sounded in the outside world. The lightning illuminated half of the cabin and reflected on half of Kuro's body.
"It's thunder…"
Kuro glanced outside and put down the bowl. "Take your time, I'll go down and take a look."
Other than Leda, there was Sengoku and Yixiao, but Tsuru was not there.
She was watching Doflamingo now, in the cabin of her ship.
When Kuro went down to the cabin, he happened to see Crane sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, facing Doflamingo, who was bound by chains.
"You shouldn't have let me fall, you shouldn't have…"
Doflamingo lay on his back, his chest rising and falling with his laughter. "Hey, let me fall, but there will be very bad consequences."
"Stop it."
Crane said mercilessly: "A defeat is a defeat. The word 'but' has never existed in the real world."
"Hey, you're still the same…" Doflamingo laughed.
Crane shook his head and glanced at Kuro, who was walking over. "You're here."
Kuro nodded and stopped beside Crane. He stood beside her and lit a cigar.
Crane looked at Doflamingo and said, "You rats have your own ways. Tell me what the world of pirates will become in the future."
These words made Doflamingo pause for a moment. He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, "So, what do you think the monster will do without bait and break free from the chains?"
"In this sea today, is there an existence that can be called the apex? Is it one of the existences of the Emperor of the sea, Yonkō (Four Emperors)? Or is it the smartest Shichibukai who lives in this sea? Or is it those so-called [Abyssal Generation] brats?"
"No, neither."
"Only Marines, the so-called righteous army, can be called the tyrants of the sea, and there are some ambitious people inside!"
"The Revolutionary Army that is committed to overthrowing the country also has strong people that cannot be underestimated."
"Hey, hey!"
The chain swayed open and Doflamingo struggled and laughed wildly.
"One of the 'D' clans hidden in the depths of history, when will they reveal their true appearance! Tell those guys in Mariejois for me, they will definitely be pulled down, hehehe!"
"It has been 25 years since Gordo Roger first conquered the Grand Line. Although his old enemy, Whitebeard, did not ascend to the throne again, he ruled for a time. But now! Compared to the increasing number of pirates, there is only one vacant throne."
"You should understand… It's the beginning of the greatest power struggle in the history of pirates!"
Boom!
Accompanied by the footsteps of a group of Marines running over when they heard the noise, there was another thunder outside.
Kuro bit his cigar and waved his hand slightly, stopping the group of Marines from stopping Doflamingo.
"Not bad, very insightful," he said lightly.
Crane also smiled. "That's the truth. We can't escape just because we're not satisfied. We can't escape either. No matter what kind of violent world, Marines have to face it."
Boom!
Another clap of thunder.
"Report!"
At this time, a Marine came down to the cabin and saluted: "A ship is found ahead!"
"Ship? What ship?" Kuro was stunned.
"I'm not sure, the wind and rain are too strong, I didn't see it clearly," the Marine said.
Kuro and Crane looked at each other. Crane stood up and walked out.
"I'll leave him to you. Watch him."
The other Marines saluted and made a defensive gesture at Doflamingo.
In the outside world, on the stormy sea, a huge ship swayed with the waves.
The sail of the giant ship was blood-red. On the front, there was a skull with curved horns and three bones crossed on the skull. On the inside, there was a white '8' pattern on both sides of the skull.
The bow of the ship was a huge elephant head with fangs, looking ferocious.
On the deck, a pirate looked sideways with a telescope.
"There are a total of six Battleships, and there is actually a golden ship in the middle? What is that? Is that also a Battleship? It is much bigger than ordinary Battleships. Is Lord Doflamingo really in here?"
"Of course, the intelligence can't be wrong." Another pirate said: "Look carefully, the flag above the mast of that golden ship is also Marine. Eh, who is it? They actually dare to use such an exaggerated Battleship. Aren't they afraid of being remembered?"
"You don't dare to think about it now. There are a total of six Battleships, and it's actually so grand. As expected of Lord Doflamingo." The pirate who was watching with binoculars said.
"He's really powerful. In this case, we can't save him."
The pirate turned his head and said, "Captain Jack, should we turn back?"
Behind them, there was a huge and strong man who was at least eight meters tall. He had a golden ponytail and two braids hanging down from the side of his head, like a barbarian.
He had a jaw helmet made of metal on his mouth and huge ivory decorations on his head and shoulders.
He glared at the pirate with bloodshot eyes. "Bastard! What a joke! Of course we have to save him!"
"Ah?" The pirate was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Do we save him?"
"Of course, who do you think I am! Just a Battleship!"
… .
On the other side, when Kuro and others went up to the deck, they could see Sengoku holding a telescope.
"It's the [Beast] Pirates, this is really a heavy character."
"Hundred Beast?"
Hearing this, Kuro also walked over and waved. A Marine handed him a telescope and he looked over with the telescope.
"Oh, it's true… This time it's real."
Kuro recognized the elephant head symbol of the ship.
One of the Three Disasters of the Hundred Beast Flag, 'Drought' Jack.
As for why it was true.
Because a few years ago, someone named Frank also broke through like this.
The memory was strong.
"Is the enemy… a ship?" With his eyes closed, Yixiao asked slowly.
"Aiyaya…"
At this time, Crane also came to the deck and glanced at the ship of the Beast Pirates that had changed direction and was rushing towards them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ship was the first to attack and a large number of shells were shot towards them.
"Kuro, is your ship anti-cannon?" Sengoku put down the telescope and asked with a smile, "I heard that it is made of the metal used by Mari Van Do to block the Newgate attack."
"You can't fight even if you resist."
Kuro snapped his fingers, and the rain falling from above instantly flew to the side, forming a layer of rainless land around them.
He bit his cigar and blew out a cloud of smoke. "My ship is inlaid with gold. It can't fire any cannon."
Click.
With a smile, he revealed a part of the staff blade and then sheathed it again.
The shells that were fired suddenly sank in the air and fell into the sea, making an explosion and forming a ball of air waves that blew the surrounding sea water.
"Port side!"
Crane took out Den Den Mushi and ordered the other ships, "Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the surface of the sea, the remaining five warships aimed their sides at the elephant-headed ship and fired continuously.
Similarly, the opposite ship was not to be outdone. As it dodged, it fired shells at them.
The ships on both sides were getting closer.
In the storm, the ship swayed and was not so easy to hit.
Except for the Golden Lion, the other ships were swaying with the waves.
"Kuro, I heard that Polusalino added something to your ship."
Crane commanded as he spoke to Kuro.
"Ah… there is, but Cass and Wilbur are not here. I can't be bothered to move that thing. It's quite troublesome. Yo, come closer."
Kuro stared at the elephant-headed ship in front of him getting closer and closer. In addition to friction with a warship, the ship facing them on the side turned into a frontal advance.
Jack stood on the deck and stared at the people on the deck of the Kingpin.
Sengoku put his hands in his pockets and his glasses reflected light.
With a smile, he held the cane knife.
Crane held his head high, his face expressionless.
Kuro bit his cigar with interest.
Under the wind of the storm, their cloaks were rolled up and they were whistling.
"Put the ship over there!!!"
Jack's roar sounded in the storm.
