Battle Royale

A small boat is rapidly approaching the hive.

The sand and gravel that suddenly flew up struck the sails, becoming the propulsion for the small boat.

The man, a cigar dangling from his lips, stood at the bow of the boat, quietly gazing at the dark dots gradually appearing on the distant sea.

We're almost there.

Then he saw the ships almost crammed together on the sea.

"Back then--"

The man's eyes widened instantly.

"The Beasts Pirates? The Charlotte Family? The Red-Haired Pirates? What are these guys doing here?"

He looked completely bewildered. Shouldn't the only ones fighting here today be the Sirius Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates? How did it suddenly turn into a gathering of pirates?

Beehive Island, which has been quiet for decades, has indeed not seen such a lively scene for a long time.

One by one, monsters landed here.

Even at its peak Rocks Pirates probably weren't as prosperous as they are now.

The monsters gathered here now are even more terrifying than before!

"Oh, it's Crocodile."

On the mast of the Red-Haired Pirates, sniper Yasopp spotted the approaching small boat behind them. He chuckled and said, "I heard this guy has some grudge against Whitebeard. Is he here to take advantage of the chaos?"

"Ignore him."

Standing beside the Red-Haired, Ben Beckman calmly stated, "This guy won't be of any use in the upcoming battle."

Crocodile, as Shichibukai, is indeed a rare powerhouse on the high seas, but in this particular battlefield, he can only be described as insignificant.

Indeed, no one took his arrival seriously.

Charlotte Big Mom stared intently at Dragon, who appeared beside Sirius, her face twitching with fat.

"Dragon, you bastard, are you trying to stop me again?"

In the previous Onigashima War, after the Sirius Pirates withdrew from the fight, it was Dragon who took over the battle against her.

"Sirius is my friend. Do I need a reason to help a friend?" Dragon said with a calm smile.

"Well said!"

The Red-Haired in the distance laughed loudly, "Helping a friend is a matter of course!"

"Kaido, Charlotte Big Mom, today is the battle between Sirius and Whitebeard, so please don't interfere."

"When did you become the one to lecture me, you brat!"

Charlotte Big Mom turned around and glared fiercely at the Red-Haired from a distance. "I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened before!"

Their only connection was that they had fought a few battles together during the previous New World War.

"She has such a bad temper."

Red-Haired shook his head helplessly.

"So, Dragon and Red-Haired are here to help Sirius?"

Marco folded his wings and landed beside Whitebeard. He asked in surprise, "Dad, is this guy really that popular?"

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then sneered, "You really do remind me of a certain bastard."

"Roger, isn't that right, Newgate!"

The Golden Lion floated over, laughing heartily. "That kid Sirius is just like Roger back in the day! He has friends everywhere, and no matter what kind of enemy he faces, there are always guys willing to help him!"

"I've already said it, Senior Golden Lion, I am who I am, I am only Sirius, and I am no one else."

Sirius said casually.

It's so annoying. I've already told you to stop using the stand-in fiction trope.

"Sirius Kaido and the others to me."

Dragon calmly replied, "We won't let them interfere with your battle."

Dragon knew very well what this battle between Sirius and Whitebeard meant.

After this victory, Laugh Tale will be within reach, and the moment to change the world is about to arrive!

Therefore, he will definitely do his best.

"Is it alright?" Sirius turned to look at him.

"Just focus on defeating Whitebeard! Don't worry about anything else!" Dragon's body transformed into the wind, and he was already in the sky in an instant.

He called out into the distance, "Mr. Red-Haired, shall we join forces?"

"Sure!"

The Red-Haired grinned.

They were worried that they probably couldn't stop Kaido and Charlotte Big Mom on their own, and that they might have to send that guy along as well.

However, Dragon's proposal has clearly provided another solution to this problem.

We need to hurry.

The Red-Haired said in a low voice, "The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be."

Some monstrous entity may be approaching.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Sirius, Kaido, and Charlotte Big Mom are ours to do! Go do what you want!"

"Wow, that's so touching!"

Yamato sniffed, his eyes slightly moist, "They're just too good!"

"That's what friendship is all about."

Sirius said with a smile.

"So, Dragon, are you going to stop me?!"

Kaido looked at the man blocking his way with a serious expression.

Please don't stop my friend from pursuing his dream.

Wind swirled around Dragon's body.

"Hehehehe!! Then I'll kill you first, and then I'll take care of that brat Sirius!"

The enormous Azure Dragon opened its mouth, spewing forth scorching flames.

With a wave of his hand, Dragon unleashed a fierce wind, and flames collided with the hurricane, exploding into a dazzling firework in the sky—this was the prelude to the battle.

"I'm going in! You guys hold off the others!"

Red-Haired leaped forward, his body soaring like Inazuma, landing directly on the bow of the Queen Mama Chanter. Before the Charlotte Family executives could react, he had already used the momentum to leap again.

Then he landed on the water, and with his legs swinging rapidly, he actually managed to propel himself forward by stomping on the water.

"Come on, Charlotte Big Mom! I've always felt I deserve the title of Emperor!"

The Red-Haired leaped into the air, drawing his Famous Sword Griffin from his waist, unleashing a bolt of black Inazuma that shot into the sky.

"You troublesome brat!! I'll deal with you first!"

Charlotte Big Mom drew her greatsword Napoleon and roared as she charged at the Red-Haired.

"In the end, it still turned into a battle between our two pirate ships."

Marco shook his head helplessly.

Sirius looked at Whitebeard without turning his head and said, "Yamato, hurry up and take care of Marco, then go help the Red-Haired Pirates."

While Red-Haired's crewmates are powerful, it would be asking too much of them to take on both the Beasts Pirates and the Charlotte Family at the same time.

"Understood! Leave everything to me! You just focus on defeating Whitebeard!"

Yamato chuckled and patted his chest, then shot out like Inazuma, heading straight for Marco.

"Is it starting again? I finally get a break."

Marco roared and leaped into the air.

Sirius looked at Whitebeard, "Then, Elder Whitebeard, let the battle continue."

"Kuralalala!!"

Whitebeard wields his sword.

Jinbe gritted his teeth.

It's unstoppable.

Then let's go and stop the Beasts and Charlotte Family from taking advantage of the situation!
