The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
But whatever it was, Snag was caught off guard. He had just taken a step back when the white behemoth lunged at him, opened its mouth, and swallowed him whole.
Inside the behemoth, Cass and a group of marines charged forward, wielding swords and firearms.
What the hell is going on?!
Snag parried a navy officer's slash with his longsword and was about to follow up with a slash when he suddenly shuddered, turned around, and saw a bullet graze his face.
when!
Snag held his longsword horizontally to block another navy soldier who was slashing at him. Just as he made this move, a large number of navy soldiers rushed over from the vicinity.
laugh!
Bang!
Bullets and knives slashed and shot at Snag.
At that instant, a patch of darkness appeared where the bullets and blades were heading towards Snag's body.
Armament Haki!
However, as soon as the domineering aura appeared, even more attacks came at him.
Bang bang bang!
A series of sounds emanated from within the white aura.
"Enough!!"
Snag, under attack, gripped his longsword, the blade radiating an aura of dominance, and was about to slash out. However, the moment he made that move, the attacking marines suddenly scattered and retreated from Snag's side. From the outside, it looked as if the 'white behemoth' had spat Snag out.
They didn't manage to cut it at all.
"Brother Snag!"
At this moment, the ship finally docked, and Rezan led the chess pieces ashore, calling out to Snag with some concern.
Because he didn't look well, his wool coat was torn to shreds, he had some wounds on his body, his hair was messy and disheveled, and he looked very sorry for himself.
"What the hell is this thing? Its speed is also very strange..."
Snag gripped his longsword tightly, the blade crackling with Armament Haki. "But whatever it is, anything that can't stop me at this level, get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, all the chess pieces charged toward the white behemoth.
The boat carried a considerable number of people, around five hundred, and their collective charge was quite impressive.
"For justice!"
Kass roared, and the white behemoth he summoned swept over them even faster than the chess pieces.
"Fried food slicer!"
Just then, Snag leaped into the air and slashed horizontally with his sword.
Bang!!!
The domineering slash slammed into the shield in the middle of the white behemoth, but the shield remained completely unmoved.
"What's with this level of defense...?"
Snag's attack failed, and he landed back on the ground, staring at the giant shield in disbelief.
Snack's attacks are not weak. Even though he was defeated by that guy named Urouge, that guy only managed to defeat him by using his Devil Fruit ability and going all out.
His attack was so powerful that it didn't even manage to crack the shield.
Snag didn't know that even Redfield couldn't break through this defense back in the North Sea. If he had known, his thoughts would have been different.
He couldn't break the shield, but Cass was still able to move.
He rushed over quickly, and the white behemoth swallowed up the chess pieces.
"Idiot, chess pawns aren't that weak. Even if yours are Vinsmoke's clones, it's still impossible to defeat them!"
Snag smiled confidently.
Lei Zan, however, seemed to have a flicker in his eyes as he watched this scene. He looked around, then vanished in a flash.
There's no need to waste time here; their main task is to find Olga and bring her back.
This is a naval base after all, and it's not good to stay here in a stalemate. Reinforcements will come, and it's enough that Brother Snag is here.
Once Olga is found, the mission will be complete, and then there will be plenty of ways to deal with these naval forces.
Just as Reza disappeared, the white aura 'swirled' around, as if it had finished eating something and was walking away, leaving behind the chess pieces scattered and broken.
“This…” Snag froze for a moment, then exclaimed, “Are you kidding me! These are… Mom’s soldiers!”
"Justice must not be insulted!"
Cass's face was resolute, his saber pointed directly at Snag, "Pirates are not allowed to set foot in the town!"
"snort!"
Snag narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Easier said than done. Try getting closer to me again!"
He couldn't break through the shield, but if these people got any closer, he would risk getting injured to take down this bearded man!
With his extensive combat experience, he now realized that this strange ability came from the bearded Douglas Cass.
One of the more troublesome figures under Lucilfer Kuro's command is evidenced by his taking Vinsmoke's spoils from the Northern Pirates; he's not someone to be trifled with.
However, it's not that difficult to deal with.
There is no doubt that he is very weak.
If he could get close enough again, he could kill the man instantly.
But Cass realized this, so at this moment, he didn't approach the man, but instead stood blocking the entrance to the town, refusing to move.
"They're not so easy to approach, but..."
Snag grinned maliciously: "Navy! You have weaknesses!"
Snag swung his sword back at the town, unleashing a massive slash that flew straight towards it.
"Protect the town, protect the residents!"
The giant white shield formed by Cass and the others moved extremely quickly in front of the slash. The slash struck the shield and held for a while before dissipating.
"Look, this is your weakness. Your so-called navy is just too much of a burden!"
Snag strode off in another direction toward the town, shouting, "Try to stop me, or I'll kill them all!"
Pegasus Island, under Kuro's expansion at the time, didn't have any single town entrances. Because it was bustling, the towns were very large, and once you landed, you could enter from anywhere.
The main reason was that Kuro believed no one would dare to approach this place.
After all, he's stationed here. This is the West Sea, not some new world. Plus, with so many heavy cannons defending the coast, what pirates would dare to come?
His departure might not be a problem in the West Blue, but encountering a Yonko executive like that...
That would be a problem.
Snag was keenly aware of the current problem.
"We can't let him into town!"
Seeing Snag about to charge forward, Cass gritted his teeth and pounded his chest, "Five times!"
The white behemoth approached Snag at an even faster speed, engulfing his figure in the white aura.
"Look, it's come to us on its own initiative!"
Snag was waiting for this. Seeing Cass and the others rush in, he intensified the Armament Haki on his katana and slashed at the bearded man who was approaching first.
"Five times, dodge!"
As Cass was about to dodge to the side, Snag suddenly changed direction, from vertical to horizontal, and struck Cass squarely in the waist.
“I… can use Observation Haki!” Snag grinned maliciously.
