A Warship Descends from the Sky!
[Crackling sounds.]
The steel gate, a full meter thick, developed terrifying cracks spreading from the center of the fist when struck by the full force of the Zangjing.
"One punch not enough? Then give me another!"
Zangjing's expression turned grim. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that breaking through this large iron gate with bare hands would require considerable effort.
"Roar!"
"Smash it!"
His domineering Haki and the strength of his muscles and bones surged forth, causing all his muscles to tremble and swell, making him appear noticeably stronger.
The next moment, a black fist, billowing with powerful force, suddenly struck out, smashing into the iron gate and creating another crack. The terrifying force caused the massive gate, which would normally take several minutes to open, to shake violently.
But that's not all; the door hasn't yet 'made way' for a path.
[Bang bang.]
Zangjing profusely, his body, soaked by the rain, was constantly being evaporated by his feverish body temperature. He relentlessly pounded the ground with punch after punch, unleashing a series of terrifying, continuous booming sounds.
This caused Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuro and Light Vice Admiral Wright behind them to twitch at the corners of their eyes, their hearts burning with anxiety.
But they had no choice, absolutely no way. Their Armament Haki was simply insufficient to allow them to move freely in the Slow-Slow Beam; even if they blindly rushed in, they would only be 'frozen' inside.
The two of them now only hope that the door can hold out a little longer, a little longer!
They might be able to hold out until Vice Admiral Garp arrives.
[Bang!!]
But the Zangjing used their own fists to demonstrate the truth to them: you're dreaming!
Dozens of punches, employing Fish-Man Karate techniques and Armament Haki, shattered the section in front of the Zangjing Relic before everyone's astonished gaze.
Suddenly, a hole about two meters high and three meters wide appeared. Through this hole, Zangjing saw the horrified expressions of the marines guarding the door, which made him smirk and reveal a cruel, mocking smile.
"Oh, the door's open! I can go in now!"
"It's over!"
Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuro clenched his fists, his face pale, and sighed deeply.
"Stop him! Stop him! Open fire!!"
Inside the fortress behind the iron gate, a Colonel wearing Justice Coat hurriedly shouted orders at the marines in front of him.
He is one of the few Colonels currently stationed at the base.
[Bang bang.]
The fortress appears to be an enclosed environment, with a thick roof strong enough to withstand torrential rain, and the whole structure looks like a hollowed-out island.
This resulted in the Fire Pistol held by the marines inside not being covered with thick waterproof material like those outside; instead, red-hot bullets shot out in bright flames.
Their target was clear: the three-meter-wide doorway. Marines undergo years of shooting training, so they could hit such an obvious target with virtually no misses.
Similarly, the Zangjing that needed to be brought in had nowhere to hide at that moment.
However, he doesn't need to avoid it.
Armament Haki - Full Coverage!
With a soft shout, the few remaining white hairs on Zangjing's face were covered by black, and the original black fur also shone with a metallic luster. Not only that, he even added Haki to his magnificent ancient-style purple robe.
He didn't want to damage the robe that symbolized his status as Governor.
[Jingle bells]
Hundreds of bullets struck the all-black penguin, sending up large bursts of sparks, but most were dangerous stray bullets that were Haki deflected back.
"Hey, if it were that Gentleman guy here, he could just throw something and this door would be ruined. His Armament Haki is no joke."
Despite being battered by countless bullets, Zangjing remained unperturbed, lost in thought, while simultaneously unleashing his Observation Haki to search for the scent of the Helandou.
"Hmm, found it!"
As he stepped completely through the doorway into the fortress, the scent of Helandou filled the air. This delighted Zangjing, who, disregarding the several layers of navy surrounding him, charged forward with wild laughter.
"Little Bean, I'm here! Haha--"
Outside the fortress gates, Vice Admiral Kuro and Lieutenant Vice Admiral Light had no choice but to turn and leave.
The navy inside the fortress is finished; there's no point in them just standing there. They might as well use this time to kill more pirates in the plaza. "Damn it!"
"Kill!!"
The two Vice Admirals unleashed all their anger and frustration on the Flying Pirates, their steel blades slicing through the air like vegetables, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in their wake.
They couldn't do anything to the Zangjing, but these pirates directly under the Zangjing scriptures were no match for the Vice Admiral. Even some of the minor leaders could only withstand a couple more blows.
[Call out--]
But at that moment, Vice Admiral Kuro, his face covered in murderous intent and blood, immediately noticed a thunderous sound piercing the air, somewhat like the whistling of a cannonball, but much heavier and more powerful.
"What is that?!"
As he slashed a pirate to death, he looked up and saw a dark shadow, growing larger, flying towards him from the sky above the dark clouds outside the harbor.
"Warships?!"
At that moment, not only Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuro, but many people on the battlefield heard the sound of something heavy falling through the air.
Suddenly, more and more people subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw the Marine warship with its stern facing this way and a golden beam of light shooting from its bow!
Why can warships fly?
This is a common question that arises in the minds of most people on both the Navy and the pirates.
The pirates of the Flying Pirates were especially surprised; wasn't flying their exclusive skill? When did the Navy master it too?
"Not good!"
Unlike the people in the square, the pirates on the ships that had taken over G-3 port gradually sensed something was wrong, and soon the pirates on the seven ships panicked.
Because it looks like that warship is about to crash into us!
[Call out--]
"Run!--"
"No!!"
Amidst piercing screams and desperate wails, the flying warship descended from the sky like a torrential downpour.
[Boom!!]
Before everyone's stunned eyes, the warship smashed the ship belonging to the Zangjing Relic into a pile of wreckage. The fate of the pirates on board, who had no time to dodge, was predictable.
[Splashing sound]
The impact of a headquarters-class warship, capable of carrying a thousand people, falling from a height of hundreds of meters was unimaginable. The seawater in the harbor was instantly squeezed into towering waves, which submerged, swallowed, and capsized the other six pirate ships around it, and also carried countless wrecks and corpses, splattering onto the square with thick blood.
"Ahhh!!"
The Flying Pirates located near the port were in deep trouble; the surge of blood caused chaos and casualties.
"Great Eruption!!"
But before the terrifying waves subsided, a huge, hot, and thick mass of magma burst forth from the deck of the warship. The intense heat caused the falling rain to vaporize into billowing white smoke, but the black smoke from the lava itself was not to be outdone, stubbornly pushing against the heavy, all-encompassing rain as it drifted toward the dark clouds.
"All you trash, die!"
