Soon, the pirate ships of the Happo Navy appeared in front of Yeyin and his crew's warship.
"Hey hahaha..."
"The disciple of Garp, come out and face your death! If you come out, I'll spare the rest of the marines!"
As the pirate ships approached, a rough voice reached Yeyin's ears.
"All units, battle positions!" Hina stepped forward and said calmly.
"Yes!" The marines exuded a powerful aura, ready for battle.
Yeyin walked to the forefront. "Chief Chinjao, I've been waiting for you for a long time. My teacher said the Happo Navy is strong, but from what I can see, the only strong one here is you. The marines I've trained surpass you by countless times!" Yeyin's lips curled into a slight smile.
"What?" Chinjao's eyes widened. "Garp said we're strong? Hahaha, at least he has some sense! But kid, you're getting too cocky!" He smirked. "I'll show you what real warriors look like!"
The moment Chinjao heard Garp's name, he fell right into Yeyin's trap. Anything involving Garp would throw Chinjao into a frenzy.
Of course, Yeyin was not afraid of Chinjao. With Issho on his side, there was no need to worry. Issho's power was at an admiral level.
"Warriors? I think you're more like a bunch of water-soaked fighters!" Yeyin mocked. "Commander Hina, Vice Officer Akos!"
"Show them what true marines are!" With that, Yeyin stepped aside, signaling the start of the battle.
"Boo, lead our men forward!" Chinjao ordered, his face red with anger, his beard bristling.
"Yes, Chief!" Boo stepped forward, followed by over 300 Happo Navy warriors.
"Allow me to set the stage for the battle." Issho stood up slowly, drawing his cane-sword.
"Ah..."
"What is this...?"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
One by one, members of the Happo Navy fell into the water as a pirate ship was suddenly lifted into the air.
"What do you think you're doing...?"
Crack, crack, crack...
Before Chinjao could finish speaking, the ship was compressed into a flat plank and placed between the warship and the pirate fleet.
"..."
Seeing Issho calmly sit back down, Chinjao fell silent. The power he sensed from Issho was immense. Was he an admiral? But he had no memory of this man.
"Hina, ready!"
"Vice Officer Akos, ready!"
"Ready!" All the marines shouted in unison, brimming with confidence.
"Happo Navy, prepare!" Boo called out, charging forward.
"Blade Formation!" Hina raised her hand, and countless marines rushed together. Akos led the charge, conjuring numerous weapons to pave the way.
"Cage Barricade!" Hina unleashed her Devil Fruit ability, sending out bars that rapidly struck forward.
Boom, boom, boom...
The next moment, marines and pirates clashed fiercely.
"This is the combat strength of the Happo Navy?" one marine said, pushing a pirate back with ease. "Feels... way too weak."
