Chapter 33: The Beasts Attack

"Damn it, turn left! Everyone, don't fight them head-on, let's create some distance!"

"This is going to be the death of us! The Beasts Pirates are here, everyone push yourselves, hurry up and run!"

On a pitch-black, rainy night, accompanied by the sound of cannon fire, sparks of light flashed across the sea as they exchanged fire.

The already tense crew members, facing the sudden attack of the Beasts Pirates.

At this moment, besides panic, they could only pray to the heavens that they could survive this disaster.

It could be said that in this sea area, apart from Roy, no one else had any intention of confronting the Beasts Pirates head-on.

After all, this was a Yonko pirate crew that shook the seas.

Furthermore, according to the information they had obtained, the pirate leading this raid was the Plague, one of the Calamities of the Beasts Pirates.

Facing such a terrifying figure, naturally, no one had any intention of fighting.

Even though the people on the ship at this moment did not know if the Plague was actually on the pirate ship attacking them.

But this did not prevent them from taking precautions in advance.

Because no one wanted to gamble with their own lives. If the Plague was indeed involved in this attack, then this mission would truly be over.

Everyone worked under the World Government, and their lives and the importance of their missions were almost equal in their understanding.

Not to mention that what they were transporting now was a World Government secret.

Every one of them knew what kind of fate awaited them if this mission failed.

Therefore, for all these reasons, a comical scene unfolded on the stormy sea.

A mere pirate ship was currently pursuing two Marine warships and one World Government vessel.

The crew's roars echoed from the ships.

Cannonballs were being fired backward like mad.

Roy felt that the sailors' actions below were not wrong.

If they were facing an ordinary pirate ship under a Yonko, perhaps they could have escaped.

But through Roy's Echo Map's investigation, the worst-case scenario had already occurred.

At the front of the deck of that ordinary pirate ship, a giant, neckless fatty stood smoking a cigar.

Even with just a simple scan from the Echo Map, Roy could clearly feel the immense life force emanating from the fat man.

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely powerful opponent, and Roy had to take him seriously.

"One of the Beasts Pirates' Calamities? What a terrifying aura!

I wonder, compared to him, who is stronger right now."

After muttering a few words.

He reached out and picked up the sword placed by his desk.

A battle was already inevitable. He glanced again at the large iron crates currently in the ship's hold via the Echo Map.

"Come on, let me test the mettle of the Yonko's top executive!"

"You bunch of trash, are you sure the equipment I want is on these three ships?

If they're all scrap metal like last time, then you can all feed the fish!"

Looking at the three ships in the distance that were constantly firing and fleeing.

Queen took a sip of red bean mochi soup and glanced at the more than ten pirates being hung up and beaten beside him.

The continuous failures in recent times had pushed Queen to the brink of rage.

Because Queen himself was under considerable pressure for this expedition.

After all, this was a blatant robbery of the World Government, and this sea area was not very far from Mary Geoise.

Although Queen believed his strength was not weak, if he stayed here for too long, the World Government's top forces would definitely take corresponding measures.

Queen did not want to fight the real monsters in the Marines.

Therefore, with the continuous inaccurate intelligence from his subordinates, Queen decided that if this attempt failed again, he would have to make an example of someone.

Amidst the trembling silence of all the pirates, he put down the empty can of red bean mochi soup he had finished drinking.

"Everyone, full speed ahead, I'm going first!"

Bang!

He exerted force with his legs, and a terrifying aura spread across the sea.

Queen's round, ball-like body, as he stomped heavily on the deck, launched himself like a cannonball towards the fleeing ships ahead.

Screech!

On the agitated transport ship.

Roy's tightly shut room door suddenly opened.

The portly official on deck, responsible for commanding the ship's escape, saw Roy's figure appear on the deck.

"Reporting, Lord Roy, we've encountered the Beasts Pirates, but please rest assured, Lord, at our current distance, we should be able to escape safely this time."

Seeing Roy, the portly official felt an immediate surge of confidence.

Therefore, he reported everything in a positive light, hoping to make a good impression on Roy.

Roy rolled his eyes at the portly man in front of him, his expression a mix of nervousness and flattery.

He wasn't blind; he could see the actual situation.

"Hey, I remember you're Cole, right? Find a place to hide well now. I hope to see you alive later."

Glancing at the portly official beside him.

After saying something that left Cole utterly confused.

"They're here. Be careful yourselves from now on!"

"Hoh hoh hoh! I'm here, my beloved little treasures."

"Black Flames."

A powerful, bright light suddenly rose from the sea's surface.

"What is that?"

Cole was still trying to make sense of Roy's words when the flash in the sky instantly stunned him.

"Not good, it's an enemy attack! Everyone, be on guard!"

"No, it's already too late."

The thick, bright light left Cole with no doubt that if he were hit, he would be instantly pulverized.

In an instant, Cole's mind raced. Staring at the light in the sky, he felt as if he could see his great-grandmother.

Bang!

The immense light seemed to distort even space.

Just as the sudden attack was about to land on the stern of the ship.

A crescent-shaped, pale blue slash shot straight towards the fiery light, and the two clashed and intertwined in mid-air.

The powerful slash ultimately emerged victorious.

After instantly cutting through the light and fire in the sky.

The sky filled with light and fire, like New Year's fireworks.

The immense impact caused waves to splash, and as they turned into raindrops falling from the sky, they struck the transport ship's deck.

"Flying Slash? Is it a powerful figure from the World Government?"

"It seems the intel this time was correct. With escorts of this caliber, the ship should contain what I'm looking for."

Queen, who was as round as a ball, faced his attack being shattered.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a wild grin.
