There were chains of contempt everywhere in the world, and Pirates were no exception. Pirates of the New World looked down on Pirates from the first half of the Grand Line, those Pirates looked down on Pirates from the Four Blues, and Pirates of the Four Blues looked down on bandits, thugs, hooligans, and the like.
If the Divine Eye Pirates did not show off their strength, the Blood Eagle Pirates probably would not think much of them, even though his bounty was about the same as Carlos's.
"Go! Take your Er Langs and kill them all! Sink that ship first!" Blood Eagle furiously pointed at the Underworld Moon on the other side.
To avoid friendly fire, since Carlos and the others were causing far too much commotion and Riley's group could not fight properly if they got too close, Carlos and the others chose the five Pirate Ships on the left. The Underworld Moon had launched its attack from the far right.
"Yes!" The Blood Eagle Pirates' officers answered, their expressions stern, indifferent, vicious, or enraged.
After his officers left, Blood Eagle looked at the mountain-like figure without fear. Pirates capable of gaining a foothold in the New World never lacked the courage to risk their lives, and he had immense confidence in his own strength!
Screech!
A sharp, ferocious eagle cry that pierced the clouds and shattered stone echoed through One Line Gorge. Blood Eagle soared into the air, transforming into a massive eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters. Most of its feathers were blood-red, as were its eagle eyes. Only its beak and the tuft of feathers atop its head were pale gold.
Its wings beat as it shot toward Carlos with astonishing speed, like a streak of blood-red light tearing across the sky.
