Facing the Enemy

"Baroque Works members, Intermediate Agent, take the wounded and the doctor inland."

Xia Qiu shouted loudly.

"We can fight."

Alken forced himself to stand up despite the pain.

"I don't need you. You, Cecilia, Sanji, Robin, Koala, Hack, all go to the back. And Caesar, if he has any other ideas, just kill him."

Xia Qiu said coldly.

No, no.

Caesar quickly replied, "I have no idea what you mean."

Luo slowly stood up and said, "President, I want to stay. My abilities can help you."

"Good."

Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. Luo was a powerful fighter, and his abilities were very useful and could be used in battle.

"Robin and I are only lightly injured, so let us stay as well," Koala said to Xia Qiu.

Robin looked at Xia Qiu gently and said, "I can protect myself."

"Okay, be careful."

Xia Qiu nodded, about to say something, then looked up at the sky and said, "Shoot them down."

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, everyone immediately looked up and saw several birds soaring in the sky.

A few days ago, there were also birds soaring in the sky, but only one or two. There are many Giant Beast on the island, and a considerable number of birds as well.

But today there were a lot more, a total of four, and they were of various kinds, with none of them being the same.

"Understood."

Vivi's legs transformed into a whirlwind, propelling her into the sky.

Countless flames appeared behind Ace, converging towards the sky.

"They've spotted us, let's retreat."

The seagulls in the sky spoke, indicating their intention to leave.

But with a bang, a sparrow was hit by a sniper shot, a bloody hole appeared on its right wing, and its body transformed into a human form, falling downwards.

"These are Seastone Bullets, everyone be careful."

"Again."

Mr. Christmas continued to raise his sniper rifle, aiming at the birds trying to escape, and continued his attack.

Swoosh.

Heckle pushed off with both legs, instantly reducing his body weight to 0.1 kg.

The 0.1 kg Heckle can fly on its own. With the help of Shave, its speed is like a cannonball, soaring straight into the sky. It arrives ahead of Vivi, appearing in front of an Fukurou and throwing out its fists.

Bang.

The Fukurou transformed into a half-human form, its wings outstretched, its claws reaching out to grab Heckle.

boom.

The fists and claws collided, and the opponent's body trembled violently.

Vivi, holding a long knife, faced a seagull carrying a long sword.

"It's a bit far."

They restrained three birds, but a crow was about to fly away. Suddenly, countless arms stretched out from his back, grabbed his wings, and restrained his body, causing him to plummet.

Moreover, arms also grew on the other three birds.

Facing the Fukurou, Heckle clenched his arms and threw two more punches.

The Fukurou tried to continue parrying, but suddenly several arms grew out of his body and pinned his arms down.

Bang, bang.

Heckle's fist landed on him, the Armament Haki Iron Fist, directly causing him to vomit blood.

Then Heckle grabbed the other person's body, hung upside down, and fell downwards.

"Too weak."

The seagull, wielding a long sword, blocked Vivi's attack. After exchanging several blows, Vivi found herself at a disadvantage.

"Do you think Logia Fruit users are invincible?"

As the seagull spoke, his long sword was covered with Armament Haki, and he suddenly struck out with three slashes.

Clang, clang.

The first two slashes cleaved through Vivi's two long swords, and the third slash went straight for Vivi's neck.

"It's over."

Vivi's face turned ashen; she realized she had overestimated herself.

But just as he was about to touch Vivi, several arms grew out of his body and pressed down on his arms.

"Robin."

Seeing this, Vivi gripped the knife with both hands and slashed at the seagull.

clang.

The next moment, Vivi's knife was deflected, and not only that, the arms on the seagull-man's body also turned into flower petals.

"It's Armament Haki."

Robin shouted loudly from below.

"Leave it to me."

Vivi and Robin's delay allowed Ace's flames to strike successfully, instantly engulfing the Seagull Man, scorching his Haki.

"Damn it."

The seagull was in unbearable pain, and its Armament Haki was rapidly depleting. It spread its wings and charged out of the flames at high speed, but Vivi appeared in that direction and blocked the seagull's attack with a twin-sword strike.

Then the flames continued to spread, covering the seagull-man once more and burning him relentlessly.

On the other side, the crow, which was falling, suddenly emitted Armament Haki after falling a certain distance, pushed away Robin's arm, and flew away at high speed into the distance.

The sparrow, struck by Mr. Christmas, transformed into human form and continued to fall, enduring the pain as it pulled out the bullet. Then, it transformed back into a sparrow, flapping its wings, intending to fly away into the distance.

Although the wings were damaged, flying was not a problem.

But at that moment, two arms grabbed his feet.

"Come down."

From a distance Luffy shouted loudly, pulling the sparrow down from the sky and onto the ground.

"Die."

Mr. 2 Bon Clay leaped high into the air and kicked at his opponent.

Bang.

The force of Luffy pulling down, combined with Mr. 2 Bon Clay's kick, knocked the opponent unconscious, causing him to fall to the ground.

After bringing the Fukurou close to the ground, Heckle suddenly let go, reducing his weight, and landed slowly with a somersault.

But the Fukurou crashed heavily to the ground and lost consciousness.

Wow.

The seagull's Armament Haki was also depleted by the flames, leaving it severely injured. Vivi slashed its abdomen, and it plummeted downwards.

But the crow had already run away.

Looking at the three figures on the ground, everyone was somewhat worried.

Although they didn't exert their full strength, not even a third of it, Ace didn't even attack them from the sky.

But these birdmen are just the outpost.

The seagull among them possesses extremely powerful Armament Haki, making it as strong as a Vice Admiral.

Two out of the four possess Armament Haki, which is truly terrifying.

This is the foundation of the Beasts Pirates.

Xia Qiu walked up to the three figures. After they fainted, they regained their human form. Xia Qiu kicked each of them to death.

Then he turned around and said, "We must take the initiative and not let them encircle us."

"Ace, Heckle, Vivi, the three of you come with me. We'll attack the main ship, fight Kaido, and bring them into the water."

"Yes."

Ace nodded. They could all fly and fight in the air, creating opportunities for the president to destroy the ship.

At that time, Devil Fruit User will be powerless. If they cannot breathe underwater, they will fall into the sea and drown.

Although Kaido doesn't have Devil Fruit ability, Xia Qiu can deal with him more effectively if Kaido goes to sea.

"Sabo, you and Luo take the rest of the men to the southern coast and stop them from landing."

"All of them?"

Sabo paused, then asked, "What about the north?"

"We don't need to worry about that area for now."

Xia Qiu said, "We have too few troops; we can only attack them separately."

With Sabo and Law joining forces, they can defeat even one of the Calamities by concentrating their firepower to eliminate a portion of the enemy and weaken them.

"Good."

Sabo nodded and led the group away immediately.

"Let's go."

Xia Qiu glanced at the group, swallowed the three Beasts Pirates, and rushed into the sea.
