Zephyr Blocks the Way (Happy New Year!!)
Sirius stood atop the mountain, gazing at the several enormous warships on the distant sea.
They were moving rapidly, and had already partially surrounded the island; now they were almost completely encircling it.
"This posture?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Interesting."
This scale of military force is no longer a simple military operation; could it be Buster Call?
"How could the navy arrive so quickly?"
Jack frowned, looking surprised, and asked, "Did they already know we were here?"
"Perhaps the Donquixote Family knew they couldn't beat us, so they specifically sought out help?" Sirius said with a smile.
"That's a really bad situation."
Jack's eyebrows were so furrowed they could trap a fly. "Is it Marine Admiral?"
"Not Admiral!"
Page One peered through his binoculars at the situation on the distant warships. "It's Zephyr! It's Black-Arm Zephyr!"
"Isn't that almost the same as being Admiral?"
Black Maria scratched her head, looking somewhat troubled. "If it's Black-Arm Zephyr, then he's the former Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, right?"
"There are still some differences."
Sirius said with a smile.
"But they're all the same,"
He laughed heartily, "Fighting the navy is a losing proposition."
Even if we defeat this naval fleet, what then?
Not only would it bring no benefit, but Sirius would not accept any casualties whatsoever.
"Then let's hurry."
Jack said, "Don't linger any longer."
If the opponent is a former Admiral of the Navy, then fighting is really unnecessary.
This is the power that could truly destroy their pirate crew.
"Wait, are they just going to ignore these guys?"
Ulti pointed to the Sugar lying on the ground; she was referring to the Donquixote Family's executives, not all of whom were dead.
"I think we won't have to worry about this for long."
Sirius chuckled softly.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Thunderclaps boomed one after another over the sea.
Under the crimson moon, the sparks exploding from the countless cannons of the warships were dazzling! So densely packed, they even illuminated the coastline.
A sharp explosion rang out across the sky; devastating artillery fire was about to arrive.
"You've got a very good aim."
Sirius said with a smile.
The dense barrage of shells was aimed at the mountaintop.
"It's such a pity that such a beautiful island has come to an end today."
Sirius shook his head. "Everyone, retreat!"
He leaped into the air, and in the next instant, he transformed into a giant, jet-black Giant Wolf.
A slight tremor of the body generated a powerful gust of wind.
With his head tilted back, Sirius took a deep breath and then roared.
Roar!!
The invisible air currents transformed into a magnificent wave, directly blowing away the barrage of artillery shells in front.
Boom boom boom boom!
These shells bloomed into huge flowers in mid-air.
Like fireworks celebrating a festival!
On the side, atop the massive warship, Zephyr gazed up at the Giant Wolf roaring towards the sky beneath the crimson moon atop the cliff.
"I've finally caught you!"
He said in a low voice.
"Close the encirclement, don't let them escape!"
"I'll go myself!"
The man flung off his cloak and shot off in the next instant.
The shelling intensified.
At the mountaintop, the members of the Sirius Pirates had all climbed onto Sirius's back.
"Hold on tight!"
Sirius grinned.
The next second, the Giant Wolf leaped up and jumped directly off the mountaintop.
Sirius landed on the mountainside, shattering the ground beneath his feet. The shockwave spread outwards, instantly blowing away large swathes of maple trees in the surrounding area.
The breathtaking red fluttering in the sky was like petals falling to Sirius.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
It was at this moment that the first volley of shells reached the mountaintop.
The shells carried by these giant warships are not ordinary shells, but giant, specially made shells.
Each shell that landed on the ground caused a tremendous explosion, capable of shattering even a small hill into dust.
At that moment, shells rained down, completely washing over the mountaintop.
The observation deck shattered instantly.
The mountaintop was flattened in an instant, and the intense burst of sparks made the mountain look like it was erupting from a volcano.
This was just the beginning; more shells were already arriving, this time covering most of the island!
"Those bastards in the Navy are really reckless!"
Ulti turned back to look at the mountaintop, and sneered, "Sirius, compared to you, a soft-hearted fellow, they're more like pirates."
"Hmph," Jack scoffed, "So-called justice is nothing more than maintaining the government's rule."
"The military is a violent institution that carries out the will of the government,"
Sirius laughed heartily, shattering the earth beneath his feet, and his body sprang into the air once more, causing even more severe damage to the surrounding environment.
"That's their duty, and only then can justice be served."
As he soared into the sky, a hail of shells rained down upon him. Sirius took a deep breath, and a massive vortex instantly formed in the air.
All the cannonballs in front were swept up by the vortex and then swallowed by Sirius.
But from other directions, even more shells were raining down on Sirius.
However, Sirius was not alone.
Yamato took a deep breath. "Fly back, all of you!"
The Spiked Club, wreathed in frost, swung in a circle, unleashing a magnificent white wave that exploded into a halo of light, freezing all the incoming projectiles before blowing them away.
Of course, more shells landed on the island.
In an instant, violent explosions occurred everywhere on the island, with flames and thick smoke, deafening roars and shockwaves, causing the entire island to tremble.
Flames instantly engulfed the entire island; destruction was imminent.
"So what's the point of this shelling?"
Hiyori asked, completely bewildered, "They can't even touch us."
"It might not work, but it might also work."
Amidst the blazing fireworks, Sirius smiled and said, "But if even one of us is injured, the bombardment will be considered a success."
Is that so?
After a few leaps and bounds, Sirius reached the coast, which was now packed with people. Panicked tourists and local residents rushed onto the small boats launched from the warship.
When Sirius crashed to the earth, the coastline was crushed, the wind whipped the crowds around, and screams filled the air.
"It seems we're not very popular."
Sirius smiled.
"Then let's hurry up and leave," Jack scoffed. "Freeze the sea, Yamato!"
We can recreate our escape journey from Wano Country.
Even King couldn't catch up, so what could the Navy do?
But it was at this time...
Where would you like to go?
A sharp slash crashed down.
Sirius a step back.
The ground was cut into a bottomless chasm.
On the other side of the chasm, a figure descended from the sky.
He wore a purple suit, had purple hair, and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
Zephyr.
