The terrifying power of the arrows not only stunned the Marines, but also left Shanks and his crew speechless. Such attack power was simply too awesome. If a few more arrows came, the Marines would be completely wiped out. The thought that they might be the ones chasing after the Marines from now on made them very happy. Following such a strong person, they would probably become famous in no time.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" Seeing Susanoo drawing its bow again, a major general on the other side shouted at his subordinates. Now, forget about catching the pirates, let's just give up first. The two sides are not even on the same level. Continuing to fight will only sacrifice many soldiers' lives.
"Too late to run now, Asura Path!" Tian Qi glanced indifferently at the navy, and Susanoo's arrows sank another warship.
Upon receiving the order, Shura Dao immediately launched a wide-range attack. His entire mechanical armor opened, and countless cannonballs were launched. His hands transformed into two cannon barrels, and purple energy rapidly condensed and fired. The remaining five warships were directly destroyed by Shura Dao, and the surviving marines swam and fled for their lives in the sea.
"Wow, this person is amazing! I never expected them to be so talented!"
Seeing that five warships were destroyed in just a moment, Shanks and the others were dumbfounded. The power of such a wide-range attack was simply a bit outrageous.
"Captain, all eight target warships have been destroyed. Please give instructions for the next step!" Beckman excitedly ran up to Tianqi and shouted. He was now completely convinced of Tianqi's strength. Even in the Grand Line, such strength made him a top-tier expert. Following such a person meant a promising future!
Tianqi withdrew his Susanoo. By this time, the eight warships had been mostly sunk and destroyed, with only half of the warship slowly sinking. This was something Tianqi had deliberately left behind, because he had discovered through the Byakugan's long-range vision that there were Celestial Dragons on the ship, and that there seemed to be something special on board.
"Beckman, head towards that warship at top speed! There's something on board!" Tianqi said, pointing to the slowly sinking warship.
"Yes, set sail!" Beckman shouted excitedly, and the three girls were also extremely excited and happy. On their first time as pirates, they had sunk eight warships. After this incident, their bounties would probably skyrocket.
Soon, Tianqi and his group's ship arrived in front of the warship. After stopping the ship, Shanks and his group rushed aboard. There were still a few people on the ship who hadn't had time to jump into the sea, but they were all easily dealt with by the group. Soon, the group rushed into the cabin.
"You damned pirates, the Navy will never let you get away with this!" A heavily wounded rear admiral glared at Tian Qi with hatred in his voice.
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. You won't live to see that day come!" Tian Qi glanced at the major general, then delivered the final blow, breaking his neck and ending his life.
"Wearing the cloak of justice but doing nothing, what kind of bullshit justice is this? They're nothing but dogs of the Celestial Dragons, talking about justice is ridiculous!" Tian Qi said disdainfully, looking at the dead major general as he withdrew his foot.
However, at that moment, the three sisters excitedly ran out of the cabin, each holding a strange fruit in their hands. That's right, it was the Devil Fruit unique to the pirate world, the very thing that Tianqi had seen with his Byakugan earlier.
"Lord Tianqi, look what we found! I heard that eating a Devil Fruit grants you powerful demonic abilities, and selling it can get you a lot of Berries. We've struck it rich this time!" The three sisters excitedly waved the fruit in front of Tianqi, gesturing wildly with great joy.
Looking at the Devil Fruits in the hands of the three sisters, Tian Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. He had no special research on these things and could not tell what kind of abilities they possessed. However, he did notice one thing: the three sisters had three Devil Fruits, which was clearly an opportunity for them. Otherwise, how could such a treasure as Devil Fruits suddenly appear, and why would there be three of them?
"Since you discovered these three Devil Fruits, you can handle them yourselves. Whether you eat them or sell them is up to you!" Tian Qi smiled faintly and handed the three Devil Fruits over to the three sisters.
He wasn't particularly interested in someone as wealthy as Bailey. As for Devil Fruits, although he wanted to eat one, he wouldn't dare to eat one randomly. Devil Fruit abilities vary in strength, and if he ate a weak one, he would be ruined. Besides, he had a system as a cheat code, and he believed that the system could definitely find the most suitable Devil Fruit for him.
The three sisters were about to refuse when they heard Tianqi's words, but just then Beckman and Shanks came over carrying a fat man. It was Bilge, the Celestial Dragon who was hiding in the cabin. However, his face was swollen like a pig's head. It was believed that Shanks had given him a loving lesson. With Tianqi, this great god, around, they dared to fight the Celestial Dragons.
"Why did you drag him out? This kind of guy is just a waste of our time." Tianqi looked at Shanks and the other man speechlessly.
"Hey Captain, this guy's been swearing and he even mentioned you, so we came out here to show you!" Shanks said with a smile.
"You damned lowlifes dare to touch me! Let me tell you, you're all dead! The Admiral will definitely take your lives!" Even at this point, Bilge was still shouting, clearly unaware of his own limitations.
"I really don't know how this guy can be a world noble. He doesn't even know what kind of danger he's in. He's just a complete idiot. The Navy actually protects this disgusting guy. I really don't know what they're thinking!" Tianqi was speechless as he looked at Bilge, whose head was swollen like a pig's.
"Captain, what do you think of this guy? What should we do?" Shanks asked, holding Bilge in one hand and a longsword in the other.
"What else can we do? Just cripple his hands and feet and throw him in the water. Why waste time on him!" Tianqi didn't want to waste time on this kind of trash.
"Hehe, leave it to me!" Beckman also hated the Celestial Dragons. He had wanted to do this for a long time. Now that he had Tianqi, the powerful captain, he could finally do it. Beckman immediately crippled Bilge's hands and feet and threw him into the sea. No one cared whether he lived or died.
Back on the ship, Tianqi called Shanks and the others together. The three Devil Fruits were placed on the table, and no one spoke.
"Regarding the acquisition of such a special item as a Devil Fruit, I'll talk about how it will be handled today. Although Devil Fruits are treasures of the sea, in order to prevent them from damaging the friendship among the crew, the specific distribution of treasures and other valuables will be based on the distribution of the ship's common property, with the remainder distributed according to rank. As for the Devil Fruit, whoever finds it gets to keep it. If everyone finds it together, we'll sell it and split the proceeds equally. Does everyone agree?" Tian Qi said calmly.
As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. It's better to clarify some things in advance to avoid conflicts over trivial matters later. Although Shanks and his crew aren't that kind of people, their pirate crew will definitely grow stronger in the future, so it's better to establish some rules sooner rather than later.
"Okay, I have no objection!" Shanks said indifferently. Neither Beli nor Devil Fruits held much appeal for him.
"I have no objection either!" Beckman nodded indifferently.
“We have no objections!” the three sisters said in unison.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, these three Devil Fruits are yours to keep. You can decide whether to eat them or sell them!" Tianqi nodded and pushed the Devil Fruits to the three sisters.
"Okay, sure!" The black-haired girl nodded, looking at Tianqi shyly.
Looking at the three sisters, Tianqi suddenly realized something. He asked casually, "Oh right, I still don't know your names. What are your names?"
"My name is Boa Marigold!"
"My name is Boa Sandersonia!"
“I…I’m called Boa Hancock!”
"Hmm!!!" The first two names were nothing special, but when Tian Qi heard the black-haired girl's name, he was slightly taken aback. He immediately thought of that sexy and hot beauty from the Women's Kingdom. Holy crap! Boa Hancock, isn't that the Empress's name? What a coincidence!
