Aboard the Ark Maxim, the Big Daddy Pirates have received members that the Fire Tank Pirates have landed on the fourth island of the third route. Their speed was quite surprising.
This rookie pirate group is either really strong or too conceited if they move forward in such a hurry.
However, Capone Bege does have the potential to achieve the supernova status this year. With a bounty of 37 million beris, he became the overlord of West Blue and advanced to the Grand Line.
This is more than twice as powerful as the previous overlords of East Blue, the Krieg Pirates.
In less than a month after breaking into the Grand Line, he killed several bounty hunters, and even a Marine battleship was defeated by the ferocious firepower of the Fire Tank Pirates.
Capone Bege's bounty has now more than doubled, reaching 88 million beris. Within a few months, it is expected to exceed 100 million, becoming one of this year's supernovas.
Capone Bege's constant approach also attracted Basire's hunting gaze.
Basire, who was in the middle of the fourth route, immediately took the newest crew members and drove the Ark Maxim to hunt this year's underworld godfather from West Blue.
Slow Fruit user Foxy, Dice Fruit user Daz Bones, and Snow Fruit user Monet were all brought along by him to make their official debut and be labeled as part of the Big Daddy Pirates.
By the way, it's also a good chance to practice.
On a certain sea area on the third route, a pirate ship with two giant cannons on the front and crawler-powered tracks on the sides was advancing rapidly on the sea, like a tank speeding on the sea.
This is the main ship of the Fire Tank Pirates, the Nostra Castello.
A short, fat man wearing a hat, a black suit, and a black cloak stood on the bow of the boat, biting a cigar, looking at the vast sea.
"Sure enough, the Grand Line is the world of the strong, and West Blue is like a greenhouse!"
Capone Bege, a gangster who is only 166cm tall, is 40 years old this year. He spent more than ten or twenty years unifying the West Blue mafia. Unexpectedly, he became only a low-level character once he arrived in the Grand Line.
As a man who had endless ambition, he began to lose interest in land and turned to the sea. He was eager to take the heads of these powerful enemies.
He didn't believe that as the godfather of West Blue's underworld, he would be worse than others, so he chose to go to sea to prove himself.
Since he can unify the West Blue underworld, he will definitely be able to get along in the Grand Line, and even have a place in the New World.
It's not like the Four Emperors can't be pulled down, he even wants to grab the position of Pirate King.
However, the reality is a bit cruel. In West Blue he relied on the ability of the Castle Fruit to easily carry a large amount of troops and firepower, and he could often crush his enemies by using the surprise factor.
But arriving at the Grand Line, he found more and more monsters who were not afraid of guns or even canons.
The firepower he carries seems to be a bit unable to keep up with these increasingly powerful pirates.
At this time, he also began to focus on developing his Paramecia Fruit, which gave him the defensive power of a hard wall, but his attack power still came from the endless amount of firepower inside his body.
Therefore, he is also looking for islands with advanced guns and gunpowder in the Grand Line to update his arsenal and continuously enhance his firepower.
Moreover, he discovered that the weapons sold to him by those underworld emperors when he was in West Blue were simply inferior products and could not compare with the quality of the weapons of the Grand Line.
As a gangster, Capone Bege naturally understands the rules of the underworld, so he quickly found various intelligence points and black markets in the Grand Line.
After getting the Eternal Pose, he no longer adheres to sailing according to the rules on just one route, because sailing across routes is a lot safer.
As a 40-year-old veteran and the godfather of the underworld in West Blue, he does not leave his fate to luck like those stupid young pirates who have just grown up. He prefers to do things with careful planning.
"Godfather, it's bad! A flying pirate ship appeared in the sky behind us!!"
The crew's advisor of the Fire Tank Pirates, Vito, immediately shouted to Capone Bege on the bow of the ship, his face full of nervousness.
For pirate ships on the sea, they can immediately suppress the opponent with intensive firepower, but for something in the air, their firepower will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, there are not many pirate groups that can fly, and every one of them is an existence that they cannot afford to offend.
Whether it is the legendary old pirate, Golden Lion Shiki's flying pirate group, or the golden flying ship of the new Shichibukai that has caused a lot of commotion recently, these pirates are really not something they can deal with.
"Dammit! How could I meet such a guy so quickly!!"
Even Capone Bege, the godfather of the West Blue mafia, had a cold sweat on his forehead at this moment. He was not ready to deal with such a big shot.
Although he has never met such powerful people as the Shichibukai, he doesn't think he can deal with such powerful figures.
"Speed up and find the nearest island to land on!!"
Capone Bege shouted, because now on the vast sea, his pirate ship was simply a living target for the flying battleship, with no chance of resistance at all.
Their artillery can't reach the other person's height at all, and they can directly bombard him from the opposite side.
His Nostra Castello is an amphibious battleship that can go ashore directly. If they can go ashore and hide for a while, their survival rate will be higher.
If he is sunk by the opponent on the sea, he will be done for. After all, he is just a landlubber who can't swim.
Following Capone Bege's order, the tracks of the Nostra Castello began to rotate wildly, splashing out two white waves, and the speed immediately increased several notches.
Seeing the Fire Tank Pirates escaping, the Ark Maxim dials and lightning acceleration systems began to work frantically, and they chased after them even faster.
Van Augur immediately rode his bird and flew into the sky to snipe and intercept the pirate ship.
"Then let me go too!"
Lafitte spread his wings, smiled slightly, and rushed over with a few dials containing the viruses created by Doc Q.
However, what greeted these two guys was the endless firepower of the Fire Tank Pirates.
Before the two of them could get close, the pirate ship was pouring out firepower like it was free of charge.
There was no chance for these two flying men to get close.
A slow pink light wave shot towards the Fire Tank Pirate's ship.
"No! Get out of the way!"
Although Capone Bege doesn't know what this beam of pink light is capable of, it is definitely not a good thing.
If their ship is destroyed, they will have no chance to escape.
These slow light waves continue to expand and catch up with the ship. With such a large range, it is simply impossible to completely avoid it.
