Boom boom boom!
A large number of cannonballs were fired from the warships and landed near the pirate ship. Several cannonballs hit the hull directly, causing the pirate ship to shake violently.
"The navy is coming!"
The pirates shouted.
"Don't panic, men!"
Foxy strode forward, pointing his index and little fingers toward the warship. "Slow Ray!"
A purple circle of light shot out from his finger movements, hitting the cannonballs and causing them to slow down drastically.
"They're just the navy. If we can't escape, then let's fight!"
Foxy shouted, "Under my command, Captain Foxy, crush these navies!"
"oh!!!"
The pirates raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
The slowed-down cannonballs were hit by cannonballs fired from the pirate ship and exploded in the sea.
"Captain, I will protect you!"
Kuro appeared behind Foxy, his expression solemn.
"Oh! Kuro, then I'll leave it to you!"
Foxy patted Kuro on the shoulder with a touched expression, then turned to face the warship.
The latter looked at his back as he faced the warship, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
"madness..."
Sazel Kuro, a newly minted pirate, or rather, an ordinary person who has only recently begun preparing to become a pirate.
He was different from others from a young age. While others were playing carefree, he was cultivating himself because he clearly understood that this was a chaotic world.
As long as you have power, you can secure a place in this chaotic world.
As he grew older, his understanding expanded, and ambition followed.
However, the timing was wrong at that time.
Before the Marineford War, the world was at a balance point, and venturing out to sea rashly would not have allowed one to gain a high position. But now things are different. Whitebeard is dead, and the balance of the New World is incomplete.
Although the Navy won, Whitebeard's earth-shattering statement during the live broadcast of the Marineford War will cause turmoil on the seas. For at least a few years, the Navy will not be able to contain the new generation of pirates.
Now is a great time to go to sea!
Unlike others who casually raise a flag, Sazel Kuro is very cunning. Building a pirate crew from scratch is very time-consuming. Although he is very confident in his strength, building a pirate crew out of thin air is too time-consuming.
The best way is to join a pirate crew, rise to a high position, and then inherit the crew's 'legacy'.
Sazel Clow's ideal pirate crew to join is one that isn't too small, isn't too famous to avoid attracting the Navy's attention, and ideally, has an idiot captain.
Then the Foxy Pirates appeared.
This pirate with a bounty of 24 million has a considerable number of pirates under his command, but his bounty is not high, he is not well-known, and he is not a focus of the Navy. Most importantly, although he seems to be smart, he is actually a fool.
If you join him, once you rise to a high position, you can wait to 'die' on the ship and then inherit his legacy.
The plan is simple: first, gain Foxy's trust, then have a few unexpected battles to gain prestige among the pirates and prove himself. After just a few battles, he estimates he can become a member of Foxy's crew.
If Fox were to die unexpectedly, he would become the captain of this pirate crew and have a base of operations.
As for the other two cadres...
That hamburger was like an idiot; all he could do was laugh.
Porki isn't very strong and isn't very useful.
No one will be competing with him for the captain's position then.
He discovered the warship in advance, so he pretended to simply want to test the cannons and attracted the warship's firepower.
Next, just show your strength and impress everyone.
Plan, perfect!
After all, it was just a medium-sized warship, not a large warship used by rear admirals and vice admirals, let alone a flagship. The person on board was at most a colonel, and given the current state of the navy's crisis, he might not even be a colonel, at most a lieutenant colonel, or even a major.
What's so scary about a naval captain?
On the warship, Kuro was slightly taken aback when he saw the fired shells being slowed down by the purple aura.
"You're an Ability User, Kuro."
Lida remarked from the side, "There are so many ability users on the high seas."
Kuro glanced at him.
You have no right to say that.
You've already produced three ability users in your bag.
Kuro stroked his chin, feeling like he'd seen this ability somewhere before, though it was probably a memory he'd forgotten.
“Ah…buttocks,” Lida said, holding up her binoculars.
"Children shouldn't use foul language!"
Kuro patted her on the head.
"Ouch, it hurts! No, that person has a butt growing on their head," Lida said, sounding aggrieved.
"ah?"
Kuro took the binoculars and looked towards the pirate ship.
On the opposite boat, there stood a person who looked... well, somewhat unkempt. He was about 1.8 meters tall, and his face was either long or square, which was hard to tell. He looked extremely sleazy, and his long red nose was quite striking. His hair stood up on his head and split upwards from the middle.
"It really does look like a butt, ah... I remember now, 'Silver Fox' Foxy."
Seeing this hairstyle reminded Kuro of something.
He is a pirate who possesses overpowered abilities, but because his brain is also overpowered, the negatives make a positive, causing his abilities to become useless in his hands.
