Chapter 234: Animals again? Unlucky!

The Nine Snakes Pirates and the Iceberg Pirates. Two pirate ships of similar size were getting closer and closer.

From the telescope, one can clearly see that people on both decks are taking quick action.

The red ship was crowded with people, and one could vaguely see the nine female snake warriors, all with their snake bows drawn and wooden arrows on the strings, ready for battle.

On the large grey ship of the Iceberg Pirates, the originally messy pirates all drew their swords, loaded their muskets, and stood on the side of the deck, facing the slowly approaching red pirate ship.

"They are about to run into each other!" Outside the telescope, a marine next to Colonel Ogate couldn't help but exclaimed, "Didn't the Nine Snakes pirates recognize that they were the Ice Pirates?"

This pirate group is well-known in the South China Sea for its brutality.

The bounty of the entire pirate group from top to bottom, including the captain's 89 million berries and the vice-captain's 67 million berries, totals 150 million berries!

A few years ago, their vice-captain, Efente, the user of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit, single-handedly destroyed a navy base—although it was only the remote South Sea branch S-952—and slaughtered more than 40% of the civilians on the entire island, killing countless people! The vice-captain was so cruel and terrifying, not to mention the terrifying captain of the Ice Pirates.

As the navy of the South China Sea, these soldiers were impressed by the Ice Pirates. Although it was a bit of a stunt to boost the pirates' morale and destroy their own prestige, the fact was that the Ice Pirates' bad reputation was not because they had a freezing ability user like Vice Admiral Kuzan on their ship, but... just hearing their name made everyone feel a bone-chilling despair!

The subordinates were talking around, and Colonel Oget certainly could not fail to hear it.

Although I was unhappy with their attitude, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The Ice Pirates are indeed powerful! Even their vice-captain, the ferocious pirate who possesses the power of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit, is too powerful to deal with. How can a wolf bite an elephant to death? I'm afraid that the headquarters will have to send a general-level force to have a chance to wipe out this rapidly rising pirate group! Another marine said: "The Nine Snakes Pirates have not appeared in the South China Sea for a long time. I'm afraid they don't recognize the flag of the Ice Pirates..."

"Those female pirates are probably in trouble..." a marine whispered to himself.

As for how bad it is, almost everyone knows it. What can't pirates do?

"Someone is coming out," a marine also observed through a telescope, and saw a huge figure walking out of the cabin of the gray ship that the two sides were confronting, "It's Afente, the vice-captain of the Ice Pirates!"

Colonel Oget's pupils shrank. That terrifying figure was the pirate with a bounty of 67 million berries! He walked to the side of the ship nonchalantly and said something loudly to the female pirates on the Nine Snake Pirates who were drawing their bows and arrows. Soon, the pirates on the entire Iceberg Pirates burst into laughter. Their unscrupulous attitude made people even more afraid of Aifent's strength.

Obviously, the women of the Nine Snakes were enraged. Oget shook his head, thinking of the woman who was probably the leader of the Nine Snakes ship. Although it was only a quick encounter in the cabin at night, the woman's peerless beauty left an indelible impression in Oget's mind. It was a pity that the peerless beauty and the entire Nine Snakes Pirates encountered the Iceberg Pirates and the cruel and terrifying vice-captain Afente...

While he was secretly feeling regretful, in the telescope view, on the deck of the Nine Snake Pirate Ship, that beautiful figure walked out behind the female pirates on the side of the ship.

Accompanying him was the man whom Ogate hated with gnashing teeth.

"They are yelling so loudly, are they very powerful?"

Lynch looked at the arrogant and reckless pirates on the opposite ship and felt very confused.

Even if the Nine Snakes Pirates hadn't come to the South Sea to cause trouble for a long time, they wouldn't have forgotten these fierce women so thoroughly, right? You know, many pirate groups on the Grand Line turned around and ran away as soon as they saw the Nine Snakes' flag from a distance. I heard that some of them were so scared that they abandoned their ships and jumped into the sea to survive.

"Is it important?" Hancock had no expression on her face. In her eyes, the pirates were just a group of screaming animals. Hancock had no interest in their eyes or words. "Since they dare to approach our ship, they are probably ready to die. Shoot!"

At her command, the Nine Snake warriors, who had already been provoked to the point of being furious, bent their bows and shot arrows in unison. In an instant, a rain of arrows flew towards the opposite side.

The members of the Iceberg Pirates, who were originally laughing, slowly changed their smiles. Especially when the first arrow landed and blasted a hole in the deck with a bang, everyone changed color and shouted, "Is this an arrow?!"

"Fire!" "Fire!" The pirates reacted quickly.

Bang, bang, bang, bullets rained down like rain of arrows, falling on the crowd on the Nine Snake Pirate Ship. As a result, the Nine Snake warriors seemed to have foreseen the future, and everyone adjusted their positions. The bullets seemed to miss on purpose, and passed through the gaps between them in unison, leaving bullet holes on the Nine Snake deck.

"Why didn't you hit the target?" The pirates of the Glacier Pirates, with smoke coming out of their gun muzzles, were dumbfounded. "Not a single shot hit the target? How is that possible?!"

Boom! The cannonballs hit the Nine Snakes Pirate Ship.

Boom boom! Three cannons fired simultaneously.

Hancock had the Salome Snake Bow in her hand without knowing it. She bent the bow and put arrows on it with an expressionless face, and three wooden arrows were placed on the string.

She was the last one to fire, but was the first to arrive. She shot out three arrows at once, and whoosh, whoosh, the three arrowheads accurately hit the three black basketball-like shells.

Three balls of fire exploded in the air.

What a terrifying archery skill... At this moment, on the warship which was still some distance away, the marines who were watching the battle between the two groups of pirates from afar were completely silent.

On the other hand, on the other side's pirate ship.

After a rain of arrows, the huge Iceberg Pirate Ship was pierced into a hedgehog, and in a blink of an eye, the deck was covered with blood.

Many pirates had no power to resist after being hit by arrows, and were either killed or injured on the spot. Those who survived by chance were also terrified by the power of the arrows that were beyond their comprehension.

Second Captain Aifent pulled out the wooden arrow from his shoulder, and blood gushed out, but it soon stopped.

His three-meter-tall body expanded again, and instantly turned into a giant of five or six meters tall! His limbs were thick, his head was as big as a bell, and there was a thick long trunk hanging on his face. Facing another wooden arrow flying at him, he roared, and his trunk turned into a shadow and pulled the arrow away.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"He actually shot away the arrow wrapped in Armament Haki?" the Nine Snake Warrior said in astonishment.

“Such tough skin!”

"Is he a Devil Fruit user? He looks so weird!"

The female warriors were talking about this. On the opposite ship, Afente, who had transformed into a white elephant, laughed and said, "Is this the legendary Nine Snakes Pirates? They are quite capable! Their arrow shooting is pretty good, but it's a pity that they are just tickling me! Guys, come a little closer... hm?"

He saw a figure jumping high up on the opposite boat. A man jumped out from the crowd of women and jumped directly towards them.

"Is this guy crazy?" Aifent laughed.

“Idiot!” Colonel Oget on the warship commented, “We might have a chance to win if we use our long-range attack advantage! If we just jump over like this, we will become a target for concentrated bullet fire!”

The figure that jumped out of the Nine Snakes pirate ship was indeed hit by a round of bullets before he jumped onto the other ship.

"It's really suicidal..." Colonel Oget's mouth was getting lower and lower, his mouth was so wide open that he couldn't close it, and his eyes under the telescope were almost popping out of shock, "Are you kidding?"

Lynch was unaware of the bullets that hit him one after another. Bullets of such power could not break his iron defense.

He jumped straight towards the white elephant man on the boat and stepped on the other's elephant-trunk face.

The stunned white elephant's face twisted and deformed little by little under his feet... The mouths of the more or less injured members of the Iceberg Pirates around him, like Colonel Ogate on the warship far away, were all opening little by little, and their eyeballs were bulging little by little...

Boom!

Everyone saw the solid deck shattered with a loud bang, and the five or six meter high behemoth disappeared directly on the ship.

The entire ship of the Ice Pirates was almost pierced and sunk by this kick.

"Another animal type? What bad luck!"

Lynch used the reaction force to stay in the air. He glanced at the huge object buried by debris under the hole in the deck and at the bottom of the cabin, and shook his head.

It seems a bit too late...
