Preparations in the Land of Water

"Golden Lion actually joined forces with those Revolutionary Army and Navy people."

Blackbeard had already recognized some members of the Revolutionary Army and Navy among them.

He had not expected that after finding his subordinates, the other side would choose to join forces with these people.

But there was nothing strange about that.

Right now, though, he could not spare any attention for it.

Thick black smoke billowed from his hand toward the ground below.

"Dark Vortex!!"

Massive amounts of darkness poured downward, trying to slow the ship's descent.

Facing the falling ship, everyone used their full strength to find a way to land it safely.

"Crow Coal!" Crow, a Legion Commander of the Revolutionary Army, transformed into coal-ash crows and charged straight down toward the Land of Water's forces.

"Boom boom boom!!"

As the ship descended—

"Kill!!!"

"Wipe them out!!"

As furious roars erupted—

The war began in earnest.

Coal continuously poured from Crow's body, flooding toward the people around him.

The Land of Water's side was not about to be outdone either, creating weapons and firing them at Crow.

Kinoki and Mei Terumi stood at a high vantage point, watching the battle below.

"You really have gathered quite a few talented people."

The battle between the two sides was evenly matched for the moment.

Even their top-tier combat power was evenly balanced.

Whether it was the Seraphim, the Golden Emperor, or that group of vicious-looking people, they had clearly once been pirates.

The two sides slaughtered each other throughout the city, their fighting visible in every street and alley.

Yet not a single ordinary citizen of the city appeared.

They had likely been evacuated in advance.

"There are still quite a few people on their side who have not shown up."

Mei Terumi merely smiled without replying.

Aokiji,
