S-Little Snake deploys

"A cloud hovering overhead at midday! Honestly, it's really comfortable!"

A Pirates was leaning against the wall, completely unaware of the impending danger!

"You know what, this cloud has been lingering for quite a while now? It hasn't even left yet?"

A Pirates looked up at the so-called 'Dark Clouds'?

As a result, he saw that the Dark Clouds seemed to have countless things flying down.

"Strange? Is it raining?"

So far, no one has been able to spot what's wrong with that cloud in the sky!

The raindrops he had just muttered about kept magnifying in his eyes!

Until someone finally realized something was wrong, he cried out in horror, "No! That's not rain! It's people! Living people!"

His voice echoed through the empty space, but it was too late. A dense hail of bullets rained down like a storm, instantly shrouding the unsuspecting Pirates in the shadow of death.

"Ah--!"

Screams echoed as the Pirates fled in all directions, but the wide range and sheer number of bullets left them nowhere to hide. Some Pirates were shot and fell to the ground, unable to get up; Pirates desperately fled into the distance, hoping to escape the sudden hail of bullets.

The once quiet afternoon was shrouded in bloodshed and panic, the air thick with the scent of death. After the people were released, the "Dark Clouds" slowly dissipated, revealing its true form.

The New Marines personnel observed the battlefield below with expressionless faces; their objective had been achieved.

However, their purpose, and indeed their primary objective, has not yet been revealed!

Suddenly, several New Marines soldiers gushed blood!

A black figure flashed by!

Wherever he went, many New Marines personnel perished on the island!

The New Marines immediately realized that their main target—Charlotte Rezan—had appeared and begun to counterattack. They quickly adjusted their tactics, forming a tighter formation in an attempt to trap Charlotte Rezan in the center.

Charlotte Rezan, the Pirates from Big Mom's crew, although he doesn't possess great strength or unique abilities.

However, he was agile and extremely fast, and each of his attacks accurately hit its target, still causing considerable casualties to the New Marines.

Upon seeing this Zephyr serving as a temporary Marine, immediately ordered the activation of the contingency plan. A large number of New Marines were deployed and began to suppress Charlotte Rezan with firepower. On the ground, the New Marines soldiers were not to be outdone, and they took advantage of the terrain to launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Although Charlotte Rezan was powerful, he gradually became overwhelmed by the combined attack of the New Marines. Despite his speed, he had to temporarily evade the dense barrage of fire.

However, Zephyr wouldn't give his opponent any chance to breathe!

Unsurprisingly, this was done out of respect for Charlotte Rezan's status as the Big Mom's son.

Zephyr instructed, "Little Snake, didn't you want new clothes? Take care of this guy, and I'll have Haku buy them for you!"

"Is this how you treat me?" S-Little Snake pouted.

She was incredibly cute!

Some of the New Marines in the observation room were so engrossed they could hardly move!

Zephyr almost succumbed to temptation, and he said, "Good boy! Go quickly!"

Reluctantly, the Little Snake spread its black wings and flew downwards towards the outer edge of the island!

Below, to avoid unnecessary casualties, the New Marines personnel had already maintained aerial distance to prevent Rezan from Injuries them.

"Who are you people?! Don't you know this place isn't far from the Whole Cake Island?!" Charlotte Rezan said angrily.

Upon hearing Charlotte Rezan's angry question, S-Little Snake's lips curled into a playful smile. She gently flapped her black wings, gracefully circling in the air before swiftly approaching Charlotte Rezan.

"Who we are doesn't matter. What matters is that your end has come." S-Little Snake's voice was soft yet playful, making her both adorable and mischievous.

The next second, S-Little Snake kicked the opponent in a vulnerable spot.

Seeing this, Charlotte Rezan immediately swung her weapon, attempting to block S-Little Snake's attack. However, S-Little Snake did not directly confront him head-on, but instead suddenly unleashed the power of the Mero Mero no Mi.

"Mero Mero Mellow!"

With a gentle wave of her hands, S-Little Snake released a sweet fragrance that instantly filled the air.

Charlotte Rezan's vision began to fill with pink bubbles, and his consciousness was gradually being eroded by this sweetness. He felt as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, involuntarily moving closer to the S-Little Snake.

"Damn it! What... what kind of power is this?" In her last moments, Charlotte Rezan struggled to break free from the force's hold, but it was too late. The pink light petrified Charlotte Rezan instantly!

Seeing this, S-Little Snake smiled gently. She looked with satisfaction at Charlotte Rezan, who had turned into a stone statue, and then gracefully flew back to the New Marines Headquarters, landing on the ground. She turned to look at Zephyr and the other New Marines soldiers in the distance, her eyes gleaming with pride.

"Lord Zephyr, mission accomplished." S-Little Snake reported to Zephyr respectfully and playfully.

Zephyr nodded, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. He looked at S-Little Snake approvingly and said, "Little Snake, you did a great job. Your contribution to the success of this operation is significant."

Upon hearing this, S-Little Snake revealed a smug smile.

Kalifa pushed up her glasses and said seriously, "We're still a bit pressed for time. Let's hurry to the next island."

Zephyr thought for a moment and asked, "How many targets do we have left?"

Kalifa silently counted them and then said, "According to the intelligence provided by Morgans, there are probably five more, three of which are Big Mom's own children stationed outside the island."

Zephyr nodded and said, "Give these islands special attention! Let's try to finish this quickly and call it a day! The rest is up to Haku!"

Kalifa said, "Then don't send people one by one. When you get there, just use a human wave tactic! And the three Seraphim and your student group will go and kill those Pirates leaders."

"It feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?" Zephyr said, both amused and exasperated.

Kalifa remained unmoved, stating as if it were a fact. "So what if you use a cannon to kill a mosquito? As long as the mosquito is killed, that's all that matters, isn't it?"

"Alright, alright! It seems my thinking is too conservative. To move things forward, let's do as you say!" Zephyr said slowly.
