Chapter 997 I'll Let This Island Go If I Dance

Santa Cruz Island is one of the islands near the Kingdom of Cyprian. It is a large island with two towns and was also one of the areas conquered by Dressrosa.

Similarly, Wilbur was in this place to clean up the mess caused by the pirates.

Of course, besides cleaning up the mess, he had other work to do. The branch he had just established in the Kingdom of Korf could only recruit a small number of marines. The Kingdom of Korf had just restored order, but a large number of people had died. Before that, it was a country of pirates and slaves, and there were hardly any people who wanted to be marines. There was no other way, so Wilbur could only think of a solution from other islands. In addition, he was also responsible for spreading "The Faith of Justice," which was adapted from Mr. Kuro's "Sayings of Justice." This attracted a large number of people, and many of them developed a yearning for justice through this adaptation.

Normally, if things had gone according to plan, he would have taken these people back and brought them together to the Korf naval base for training.

Unfortunately, Vice Admiral Crowe called to say that pirates were coming, and indeed, pirates did arrive, disrupting Wilbur's original plans.

At the port, Wilbur led a thousand-strong Greg Navy squadron to attack the pirates.

Actually, it wasn't entirely the Douglas Marine Corps. During the last Barrett attack, some members of the Douglas Marine Corps also died. Some of them were transferred by Wilbur from the original G-3 Marine Corps, making up a total of one thousand.

"Ten times! Keep firing!!" Wilbur shouted at the navy officers beside him, holding up his pistol at the front.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the amplified power, the bullet transformed into a cannonball, which in turn became an even larger cannonball, sinking the pirate ship that was preparing to approach the port.

"This is the third one!"

Even after sinking the ship, Wilbur's expression remained grave.

The attack from the Unicorn Pirates must be stopped.

"Lieutenant General!"

A navy officer shouted, "Another pirate ship is coming!"

"I saw it!"

Wilbur said in a deep voice, "Just hold this position. This island only has this one landing point; the rest are either reefs or cliffs. If we hold this position, we can repel them! Fire!!"

Even the Unicorn Pirates, how much foundation do they have? Having been wiped out several times and suffering heavy losses, they naturally wouldn't come here; they're just pirates!

Bang bang bang!!

The projectiles and cannon fire continued, heading towards another approaching pirate ship.

But this pirate ship was a little different. It was not in the same size as the three that had come before. In addition to the flag on the mast having a unicorn symbol, there was also a skull hand with a cannon mounted on the sail.

The bullets and cannonballs, ten times larger than before, hurtled toward the pirate ship. Just as they were about to reach it, a burst of sparks suddenly appeared on the deck. With a loud 'boom,' the bullets and cannonballs exploded in mid-air, the smoke obscuring the pirate ship.

Wilbur's pupils contracted. "Watch out! There's a powerful opponent!"

Whoosh!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure burst forth from the exploding smoke, rapidly descending towards them.

"shooting!"

Wilbur aimed his gun directly at the approaching figure. The other naval personnel reacted quickly. The original G-3 naval force was already a seasoned veteran, and the Douglas Naval Group was known for its strict discipline. A single order could achieve unified action without the slightest delay, after all, they were clones.

They aimed at the sky and pulled the trigger, unleashing an attack ten times larger. At that moment, the figure flashed with a burst of sparks, instantly shattering the massive and dense attack, creating a series of explosions in the air.

Hurry!

Two soft clicks sounded at Wilbur's feet. Wilbur glanced down, slightly startled. "Bullets?"

At his feet were two bright yellow, spindle-shaped bullets!

Just as he finished glancing at it, a person suddenly shot out from the explosion, flying straight out like a missile and crashing directly in front of Wilbur and his group.

Boom!!!

A shockwave suddenly rippled outwards, blowing Wilbur and his navy away. The buildings in the port were also cracked by the shockwave, sending up a cloud of dust.

"Cough, cough!!"

Wilbur fell to the ground, coughed a few times, and looked up. He saw a man with a milky-white buzz cut and a diamond-shaped head slowly get up from the cloud of smoke. He smiled at them, his white teeth taking up half of his face, making him look quite comical.

He wore a traditional Wano Country martial arts outfit that exposed his arms, with the shoulders slightly raised. He wore sock-like footwear, similar to that of a ninja, with his big toe separated from the other toes and a protective shield in the center of his foot. His right forearm was covered in metal with three small turrets on it, and his fist had a large gauntlet with multiple holes, resembling a shield.

“'Mechanical Fist' Yagyu Sekikō!” Wilbur exclaimed.

He recognized this person; he was a noteworthy pirate in the New World.

As he charged in, the pirate ships behind him also approached the port, and some pirates couldn't wait to jump over and stand next to Yagyu Shikatora.

"I didn't expect to run into the navy, and they even lost three of my ships. I'm not happy," said Yagyu Ishikora happily.

"Captain, you're laughing! You're laughing!" the pirates shouted.

"Am I? Am I laughing?"

Yagyu Ishikora took out a mirror from his pocket, glanced at his smiling face, and laughed loudly, "I'm clearly angry!"

"You're laughing so happily!" the pirates shouted.

"Shut up, that's just how I am. I laugh when I'm angry, and I laugh when I'm angry!"

After roaring, Yagyu Ishihiro ignored them and continued to look at Wilbur, who had already stood up, with a smile that occupied half of his face.
