"We absolutely cannot let the pirates land. Keep firing. Even if we miss, we must sink the driftwood!"
The naval commander immediately ordered that the pirates' numbers be reduced before they could land.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
The cannons, now fully loaded with shells, opened fire again, unleashing a dense barrage of shells that blotted out the sky, bombarding the pirates at sea.
"Boom!!!"
A series of explosions occurred, and countless pirates perished under the cannon fire.
Although the cannonballs in One Piece are like the fire-style attacks in Naruto, they can't kill people.
But that only applies to the strong, or the supporting characters who have a certain amount of screen time.
The purpose of cannonballs and fire-style techniques is simply to kill artillery fire; they have little other use.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates had tens of thousands of affiliated pirate crews, most of them were just a rabble.
However, there are also some Devil Fruit users and people who can use both types of Haki, so the cannonballs are not very effective against them.
"Navy, prepare to die!"
Amidst the hail of bullets and flying debris and blood, several figures on the driftwood suddenly shot into the sky like black lightning.
They were all renowned and powerful members of the Whitebeard Pirates, with bounties exceeding 100 million.
His body exuded a strong aura of murderous intent, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people.
One of the pirates was bald, with a hideous scar on his head, and his physique was as burly and robust as a small hill.
In an instant, it transformed into a black bear, its muscles bulging and veins protruding like a winding dragon.
His eyes blazed with a scarlet light, and he roared, his voice like rolling thunder, causing ripples to spread across the sea.
He slammed his feet down on a relatively solid piece of driftwood, which instantly shattered into countless fragments.
He shot off like an arrow toward the cannon emplacement on the shore.
The gun emplacements spewed fire, and shells hurtled towards them.
Unexpectedly, with a wave of his bear paw, he blasted the shell back, destroying the fort.
He landed on the shore, ripped apart the nearby navy with a claw, and began his killing spree.
Meanwhile, a lithe and agile pirate, moving like a ghost, was not to be outdone.
He gripped a pair of daggers that gleamed with a cold light; the blades flashed with an eerie blue light, clearly coated with deadly poison.
He lightly touched the driftwood with his toes, using the momentum to leap into the air, his body spinning rapidly like a top.
A flash of red light appeared in his eyes, and he skillfully dodged several whistling shells, speeding towards the shore.
After landing on land, it moved like a ghost among the navy.
The navy man felt the wind whistling past his ears, felt a chill on his neck, and his blood gushed out.
Before he could even react, he collapsed in a pool of blood.
There was also a large man with thick hair whose weapon was a long chain.
One end of the chain was tied to a huge metal ball covered with sharp barbs.
Each barb gleamed with the cold light characteristic of metal, sending chills down one's spine.
He swiftly swung the chains, sending the metal balls tracing deadly arcs through the air with a whooshing sound.
Once within attack range, aim at the gun emplacements on the shore and swing it forcefully.
The metal ball, chained together, flew toward the shore like a cannonball.
He destroyed the fort and successfully made it ashore.
As soon as these powerful pirates landed, they began a bloody massacre, like tigers among sheep.
The Black Bear Devil Fruit pirate charged into a group of marines, brandishing his enormous bear claws.
Each punch he threw carried immense force, as if it could tear the air apart.
The fist slammed into the naval soldier's shield, producing a dull thud.
The shield dented and deformed instantly, and the naval soldier holding the shield was so shocked by the powerful force that he coughed up blood.
He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, knocking down a group of his companions behind him.
The agile pirate wielding a dagger moved through the navy crowd with ease, like a red phantom.
His dagger flashed up and down, each swing precisely targeting the vital points of the naval soldiers.
With a flash, he appeared in front of a naval captain and swung his sword.
The naval captain stared in horror, but before he could react, the dagger had already sliced across his throat.
In an instant, blood gushed out like a spring, splashing onto the ground.
Pirates wielding flail hammers swung their chains, and wherever the metal balls went, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The naval soldiers tried to defend themselves with their weapons, but as soon as they came into contact with the barbed metal ball, their weapons were easily snapped in two.
The next moment, their bodies were torn apart by the barbs, and they let out miserable screams.
Their frenzied attack threw the navy on the shore into chaos.
At this point, there was no time to fully stop the pirates who were still struggling to move forward on the sea with the help of driftwood, so as to buy time for the remaining pirates to reach the shore.
The Navy Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral tried to intervene, but were stopped by the Whitebeard Pirates' division commander.
Neither side could offer any assistance; it was a matter of seeing which side had the power to break the balance.
Both the navy and the pirates suffered heavy losses simply from landing.
After a brief moment of chaos in the navy, the group quickly encountered their opponents and could no longer obstruct the navy's gun emplacements.
"Keep firing! Don't let the pirates land!"
A major admiral assigned to the inner bay intervened, stopping the pirates from carrying out their attack, and then turned to give orders.
The naval gunners took over again, loaded the shells, and fired in one smooth motion.
The pirates, who were charging at sea, were once again bombarded by a barrage of cannon fire.
The explosion was accompanied by screams, and the sea was littered with severed limbs and remains.
It was extremely tragic.
Because it was broadcast live worldwide, everyone witnessed the true horror of war.
Everyone who watched was terrified, their legs went weak.
People in those countries who were originally preparing to launch a revolution with the help of revolutionary armies fell into deep thought.
They were simply fighting for survival.
Judging from the ferocity of the battle between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, even if they win the war, not many people will survive.
However, they had all been brainwashed by the revolutionaries and believed that the success of the revolution was the most important thing.
Little did they know, they were nothing more than cannon fodder, tools for Monkey D. Dragon to fight against the World Government.
Meanwhile, a major event also occurred in the city.
Although Luffy and Buggy weren't causing trouble, Blackbeard Teach still invaded Impel Down, looking for like-minded companions.
Magellan's Devil Fruit side effects allowed Blackbeard and his crew to successfully enter Level 6 of Impel Down.
Just like in the original story, Shiryu, the tyrannical king, and others will cooperate.
At the same time, it also released the most vicious pirates, including Crocodile, Bullet, and others.
After Magellan finished using the toilet, he discovered that all the pirates in Impel Down had rioted.
He attempted to suppress them, but was killed by Blackbeard and his crew, along with Crocodile and others.
After all, he was alone and had been betrayed by Shiryu, so there was no way he could stop him.
Blackbeard then kept his promise and led these vicious men to Marineford to prepare for his plan to steal the Devil Fruit.
Meanwhile, the Red-Haired Pirates and Sabo of the Revolutionary Army also set off towards Marineford.
Kaido, Big Mom, and the main force of the Revolutionary Army are also eager to make their move; they all have their own plans.
The world is becoming increasingly turbulent.
Lu Renjia, on the other hand, was leisurely watching the live stream, and he was even in a VIP seat; it was all irrelevant to him.
I wonder how the pirate world will change after he appears.
