Attack

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A barrage of shells slammed into Teacher King, exploding into enormous bursts of flame.

The explosion was incredibly powerful; it was definitely not an ordinary shell. If it had actually landed on the ship, even a massive warship like the one carrying Sirius and his crew would have been blasted with a huge hole.

It won't withstand many more hits before it sinks.

Unfortunately, such attacks were completely useless against Teacher King.

He flew directly towards the distant island amidst a hail of shells; the massive explosions didn't even scratch him.

That's an incredible constitution.

What kind of people are the Lunarian Tribe?

If it weren't for the fear of being chopped down by Teacher King, Sirius would have loved to ask him that question in person.

But Sirius had no time to think about that now; a barrage of cannonballs was about to rain down.

"Sirius! Do something quick!"

Black Maria shouted, "Didn't Uncle King say he was entrusted to you?"

Yes, of course it should be given to Sirius.

"Coming right here!"

Sirius grinned, and his body began to swell.

In an instant, the enormous Black Wolf stood atop the large ship.

Fortunately, the ship was huge enough, otherwise it would have been very difficult for Sirius to stand on it.

Then, Sirius opened his mouth.

The air ahead began to collapse.

It was as if Sirius's mouth was a black hole, and the surrounding air was squeezed into his mouth, instantly forming a huge funnel vortex in the air.

Then, as was the case, the barrage of cannonballs was swept up by the vortex and swallowed up by Sirius.

"Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Jack looked up at Sirius, who was swallowing the shells as if they were a beverage. Wouldn't so many shells explode inside him?

"Sirius has a great appetite! I've never seen him eat until he's stuffed!" Yamato crossed his arms and nodded seriously.

Is it a matter of whether you can handle it or not?

As it turns out, Yamato knew Sirius very well; his appetite was indeed exaggerated.

He inhaled a barrage of cannonballs, an endless stream that seemed to have no end, yet Sirius's belly didn't even swell up a little.

Sirius's appetite was inexhaustible, but the cannonballs were finite.

Soon, as Teacher King plunged headlong into the distant island amidst flames, the shelling ceased.

Sirius has returned to his human form.

He was considering a problem.

Should this move be called Super Absorption or Supernova?

Super Absorption sounds more fitting, but it's a Grass-type move, which doesn't quite suit me.

Shouldn't it really be called a supernova?

Could I perhaps earn the title of "Dark Demon"?

Soon, Sirius and Teacher King met in the royal palace on the island. The palace was burning fiercely, and the flames and thick smoke gave Sirius the feeling that he had entered hell.

Amidst the ruins, a richly dressed man knelt at Teacher King's feet, a crooked crown perched on his head, his expression obscured by Sirius.

On the wall next to them, Teacher King's sword was nailed to the wall, and a man wearing a crown was also nailed to the sword.

He looked very old, with completely white hair and beard, and an angry expression on his face.

Blood flowed down his body, spreading in a shocking pattern along the wall, like an upside-down tree.

You can probably guess what happened here.

"Teacher King, what's next?"

Sirius asked.

"This island is the battlefield."

Teacher King slowly walked to the wall, drew his sword, and the corpse fell to the ground with a thud. He sheathed his sword, "Now that we have the advantage of terrain, let's set up the battlefield!"

The Beasts Pirates occupied the island and began setting up the battlefield.

Although they don't yet have the official titles of officers, Sirius and his group enjoy officer benefits, so they naturally don't need to set up the battlefield like ordinary pirates.

Together with Teacher King, they led people to set up the battlefield. A crucial part of this task was to drive the people on this side of the island to the other side, clearing this area for the battlefield.

The arena must be large enough; a narrow battlefield won't be enough for the monsters to fight.

Not to mention that this time, in addition to the Beasts Pirates, the country's army will also be joining the battle.

Although it might not be of any use, Teacher King felt that even if the entire army was wiped out, it would be worth it as long as even one soldier of the Charlotte Family could be killed.

This island is indeed very unusual.

A high wall was built around the entire island, and numerous shore guns were mounted on the wall.

Beyond the high walls lay an open beach, completely exposed, making it the perfect firing position.

Standing on the high wall, Sirius couldn't help but marvel at how impenetrable such defenses were to ordinary pirates.

Unfortunately, they encountered Teacher King and the Beasts Pirates.

"Are we really going to start a war with them here?"

Jack was somewhat excited, Sirius knew he was looking forward to the battle. Even though his personality had changed drastically from the Jack in the original work, some characteristics remained the same.

"If that's the case, then we did indeed gain a huge advantage before the battle even began."

Black Maria looked at the people burying landmines on the beach below and laughed.

"Don't underestimate the Charlotte Family."

"These things are completely useless," Sirius.

He turned to his friends and said, "Don't stray too far from me when the fight starts."

Jack paused, then turned around in surprise. "Sirius, are you looking down on us?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sirius raised an eyebrow. "It's just that I'm scared. I only feel safe when I'm around you."

Jack's eyes widened, then he couldn't help but smile. "You rascal—"

"Allah, Sirius, really," Black Maria laughed and scolded, "You say something so touching sometimes, don't you?"

Before Sirius could reply, Yamato lunged at him and hugged his neck, crying, "Sirius!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "I will always put Sirius at ease!"

"Idiot—I can't breathe!"

The Charlotte Family gave Teacher King ample time to prepare. From day to night, the Beasts Pirates, along with the island's army, thoroughly prepared the battlefield, inside and out, from top to bottom.

Around noon the next day, while Sirius was having lunch in his temporary outpost behind the city walls, a pirate stumbled in.

"A ship has appeared! A ship has appeared on the sea!! It's the Queen Mama Chanter! The Charlotte Family has arrived!!"

Sirius an eyebrow and climbed the city wall with his companions.

Sure enough, a ship sped towards them from the distant sea.

The war is finally about to begin.
