"Boss!"
Seeing the terrifying fangs so close, Sez was scared out of his wits and couldn't help but shout.
The rapidly spinning fangs, like gears, stopped right in front of Sez's face.
A stench filled the air, causing Sez's stomach to churn.
"What is that monster?"
Ror was holding his long knife, placing a hand on Rorschach who had suddenly appeared beside him, looking grimly at Miguel Jones in the middle of the street.
Miguel Jones' head had turned into a wrinkled white insect body, with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, dripping sticky saliva.
His face had no eyes, no nose, and his ears had disappeared, leaving only a terrifying bloody mouth.
Huh!
His long neck retracted, returning to Jones' original form.
He glanced coldly at Sez, who was wiping his sweat, "Sez, are you sleepwalking?"
Sez smiled bitterly and gripped his dual swords tightly.
"Sorry, Captain, I was a bit careless."
He turned to look at Rorschach, Ror, Drake, and Hawkins, who were standing together.
"But these people aren't weak, I don't know where they came from."
At this moment.
The streets under their feet began to shake, as a tide of pirates surged out from the surrounding alleys, waving their weapons and rushing towards them.
Hewton's smile reappeared, and he pointed at Rorschach and the others.
"Charge! Kill them all!"
The rushing pirates swung their swords and raised their flintlock guns.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hewton's smile froze, his body was flung forward, riddled with shots from behind, and the impact sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
The pirates who had swung their swords laughed loudly and began hacking and slashing at him furiously.
Hewton protected his head and face, letting the group of pirates hack his body, making a clattering noise.
Hewton was dumbfounded, not understanding the situation at all.
"Have you all gone mad? How dare you attack me? How dare you betray the boss?!"
Seeing these pirates laughing without fear, Hewton felt a huge sense of humiliation.
The metal tubes in his chest split open, revealing more small holes as his chest opened wide.
"Dare to betray the boss, you'll all turn to ashes!"
"Flamethrower!"
Fiery flames spouted from the holes in his chest, creating long tongues of fire that licked the pirates around him, setting dozens of them ablaze, turning them into human torches.
"Peacock! Weren't you supposed to head to the palace first? Why are you here?"
Seeing the figure standing behind the hundred pirates, Drake rushed over quickly and asked in a low voice.
"Just came to help you and relieve some pressure."
Peacock waved the black whip in her hand, making a cracking sound in the air.
With that crack, the hundred pirates who were surrounding Hewton suddenly dispersed and rushed towards Jones and Sez.
"Let's go."
Peacock glanced at Rorschach and the others, then disappeared in a flash.
"Don't die, you guys." A soft, gentle voice echoed in the street.
Sez held his dual swords, frowning as he watched the surrounding pirates.
"What's going on with them? Have they joined the enemy?"
Most of these weapon-wielding pirates were from their Giant Insect Pirate Crew.
Now they were attacking their leaders.
This left Sez feeling very puzzled.
Jones didn't care, grabbing a laughing pirate and lifting him up.
He saw fear in the pirate's eyes, but strangely, the pirate's mouth remained smiling.
Jones clenched his fist, using terrifying strength to crush the pirate's upper body, making it explode.
With a splat, a lump of human flesh was thrown to the ground, spreading out like a blooming blood rose.
"They've just lost their minds, don't worry about them, kill those brats."
Jones' mouth began to split open and widen again.
His neck extended like a thick snake, stretching more than ten meters in the air, biting down on a charging pirate, with his teeth spinning rapidly, swallowing the pirate into his stomach.
The thick neck swelled, showing a human-shaped bulge moving down its length.
"That disgusting guy is actually eating people? And his own subordinates at that, he's a deranged lunatic."
Drake watched as Jones' body gradually transformed into a giant white worm, looking very displeased.
"Three troublesome enemies!"
Rorschach extended his right hand, while Ror used his abilities to quickly treat the terrible injury on his finger.
Rorschach smiled at Hawkins, then spoke seriously to his group:
"Drake, you are tough and can take hits, you handle the cyborg, try to take him down quickly to help us."
"Ror, we'll team up against Miguel Jones, his ability is strange, and we need your help to have a chance at winning."
"Mr. Hawkins, the guy with the sword is all yours."
Hawkins never asked about the identity of Rorschach and the others, nor did he object to the battle plan, simply drawing his long sword and walking towards Sez.
Drake scratched his head in frustration and mumbled:
"Who's really in charge here? Why do I, a Navy Lieutenant, have to listen to a branch ensign?"
Despite his grumbling, he began running towards Hewton.
"I was expecting you! Flamethrower!"
Hewton's back split open like his chest, and flames burst out.
Drake leaned back to avoid the flames, then slashed at Hewton's ankle with his sword.
Sparks flew, and Hewton fell.
Drake smiled and was about to attack his neck when the flames surged and singed his eyebrows.
"Annoying flames."
Drake rolled away, touched his singed eyebrows, and removed his burning hat, slowly sheathing his weapons.
"Haha, I am the strongest cyborg in the North Sea! The invincible Tech Warrior Hewton! Flames, bullets, Gatling guns, full-body steel, even Zoan users can't hurt me. Ordinary attacks are useless against me!"
Hewton slowly stood up, looking at Drake with mocking eyes.
"Really? I'll have to test that myself."
Drake grinned.
A giant shadow loomed over.
Drake's body began to swell segment by segment, inflating like a balloon in Hewton's shocked gaze.
"Roar!!"
