The Decisive Move

For a fleeting moment, Sirius truly believed that he now possessed the power to crush Blackbeard.

Although Blackbeard wasn't particularly strong at this point, he should still be at Cracker's level. If he truly possessed that level of strength, it would be enough to change the course of the battle.

Unfortunately, all I can say is that this guy's acting skills are indeed superb.

Filled with grief and indignation Izou soaked in the seawater, his head tilted back, staring intently at Sirius.

"We will avenge Lord Oden!"

Sirius, sword in hand, smirked, "You might not believe it, but Oden and I are actually friends."

"That's right!"

Yamato nodded repeatedly, "We are friends with Oden!"

Snap snap snap snap snap!

Izou completely ignored the nonsense from Sirius and his companion, picked up his gun, and fired.

So what kind of gun is that? How can it still work after being soaked in seawater for so long?

These bullets were all imbued with Armament Haki, Sirius dared not be careless, raising his sword to deflect them.

His Armament Haki was a bit insufficient right now, but fortunately, the Azure Greatsword was made of an extraordinary material, which was enough to barely block Izou's bullets.

"Why aren't you listening to us? We really are Oden's friends!" Yamato anxiously, explaining loudly.

Izou was completely too lazy to listen to what they were saying; he just kept pulling the trigger with a sullen face.

So, is the magazine unlimited?

Sirius shouted, "Fuga!"

Fuga immediately swung his Spiked Club and brought it down towards Yizang in Izou.

Izou quickly dodged to the side, but the huge wave from the Spiked Club hitting the sea immediately pushed him away.

Sirius stood atop the Fuga, surveying the battlefield.

The only word to describe it is utter chaos.

The commanders under Whitebeard are fighting against the Numbers.

The captains are all quite strong. While not all of them possess the same power as the Sweet Commander, they are at least at the level of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

The Numbers were being beaten and howling in pain. Their large size was indeed an advantage, but they were easily at a disadvantage when facing agile opponents.

Not to mention that one of these captains is Fish-Man.

This can't go on.

Sirius frowned.

It seems unlikely that they will receive any more reinforcements.

But the Moby Dick is right there on the high seas!

Although the people on board are currently struggling to withstand the artillery fire from above, they might be able to come to their aid at any time.

So how exactly can we win this war?

Sirius started thinking.

Of course, he couldn't possibly participate in the battle between Whitebeard and Teacher Kaido.

Or rather, none of the people present were able to participate in their battle.

Strictly speaking, as long as the two of them haven't determined a winner, the battle won't end no matter how the others fight.

But what Sirius wanted was to end the war quickly, before the two monsters had even decided who would win.

"Aww!"

Fuga suddenly let out a miserable scream.

Sirius looked down and saw Thatch, the fourth division captain who had been shot down by Teacher Queen, wielding two long, narrow blades and cutting into Fuga's stomach.

"I'm really good at dismembering large Sea King!"

The man smiled smugly.

He probably wasn't lying, after all, he was the cook for the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Sovereignty!"

Sirius no mercy, raising his hand to unleash a massive wave of Sword Wave that blasted the unsuspecting man into the sea.

While my current Armament Haki is somewhat insufficient, that's no reason to let this guy run rampant.

Thatch's arrival was just the beginning.

More captains set their sights on Sirius and Yamato.

After all, everyone knows that the two of them are the future stars of the Beasts Pirates.

The two were then subjected to repeated attacks.

Fortunately, these captains weren't particularly strong. Sirius Yamato the Fuga were able to handle it. Although they had some injuries, they managed to hold on.

It's just that Fuga suffers the most, as he is often the first to be attacked.

The Numbers were almost all wounded, and their injuries were getting worse.

This won't do; if they're killed, we'll lose our foothold.

Sirius looked toward the Moby Dick in the distance.

There might actually be a way to end this war.

"Fuga, move closer to Inbi!"

With Teacher Queen riding on Inbi's shoulders, he is constantly fighting Vista using various high-tech weapons.

Fuga listened to Sirius and led the two of them quickly toward Inbi's direction.

Vista noticed their arrival and raised his hand to deliver two magnificent slashes in response.

Sirius opened his mouth wide, ready to taste what the slash was like, Teacher Queen finally proved himself reliable, unleashing a few laser beams that struck first and destroyed Vista's slash.

Once he was sure it was safe, Sirius leaped and landed next to Teacher Queen, on the head of Inbi- Eyes.

"So, what do you want, kid?"

While speaking, Teacher Queen was distracted, focusing most of his attention on Vista, constantly unleashing various weapons to clash with Vista's powerful slashes.

Sirius lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Teacher Queen, you brought—"

Soon, Sirius jumped back onto the head of the Fuga.

This allowed him to gradually retreat from the battlefield between Vista and Teacher Queen, fighting as he went.

Then they gradually reached the edge of the battlefield.

"Call--"

Sirius a slow sigh of relief.

He looked up.

See them, Jack and Maria, struggling to hold off the captains' attacks.

We can't delay any longer.

"Yamato, let's go end this war!"

That's what Sirius said.

"Um."

Yamato simply nodded, then asked, "What should we do?"

Sirius pointed to the Moby Dick in the distance, "Let's go there!"

Soon, a white shadow shot out from Fuga's head and landed lightly on the sea surface.

Instead of sinking into the sea, it sped forward, stepping on the surface of the water.

It's Yamato in beast form!

Sirius lay on Yamato's back as the two sped toward the Moby Dick.

It seemed that no one noticed their departure, or rather, even if they did, no one could catch them at Yamato's speed on the sea.

The distance is getting closer and closer!

Suddenly, Sirius exclaimed, "Yamato! Jump to the right!"

Without any hesitation Yamato jumped directly to the right.

Almost instantly, a ball of blue flame descended from the sky, crashing onto the sea and splashing water everywhere.

"Hey, hey, hey, where are you kids going?"

A large, blue bird spreads its wings and flies in from the sky.

Oh no! Marco!

Sirius frowned.

However, his furrowed brows immediately relaxed as a dark shadow darted towards Marco from behind.

"Flame Emperor!"

Marco was engulfed by the enormous fireball.

However, Marco, completely unharmed, burst through the flames and pounced on the approaching enemy.

"Keep going, Yamato!"

Sirius a sigh of relief.

"Um."

Yamato continued striding forward, head down, charging ahead.

The distance is now much closer.

However, just as they were getting very close to the Moby Dick, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the seabed below.

"Yamato-- "

Sirius roared.

Before he could finish speaking, Yamato had already leaped up and put some distance between them.

She also noticed something was wrong.

Beneath the sea surface, a dark shadow shot up, leaving a trail of light in the air before plunging into the water ahead.

When the shadowy figure resurfaced in the water, Sirius realized that it wasn't one person, but two.

Thatch, perched on a Fish-Man's shoulders, grinned and said, "What do you want to do, kids? Can you share with your uncle?"

What a persistent guy!

Sirius's expression turned serious.

The Fish-Man's name is Namur, also a captain in the Whitebeard Pirates, and a force to be reckoned with.

In other words, for this decisive move to come into play, the only way is to take down these two guys first?

Then let's fight!
