Lionheart Pirates

"Pirate ship! A pirate ship is coming!"

On the island, near the harbor, there was a watchtower. A young man stood on it, and when he saw the pirate crew, he picked up a bull horn, put it to his lips, and blew on it.

Waaaaah.

Accompanied by the sound of the bull horn, the residents of the entire island town began to stir, coming out of their houses and gathering at the town entrance.

From the crowd, a burly old man stepped forward and said loudly, "Werner, take the torch made of stinky oak and lead the old people and children to the cave at the foot of the mountain."

"Aisley, take your men and sail away all the oak boats to the back mountain to drive the sea serpents to the front."

"Bill, you take your men and operate the cannons, aiming at the sea. When the sea serpents arrive, and they show signs of weakness in their battle with them, then open fire."

"The rest of you, take your Fire Gun and weapons and come with me to fight them."

"Note that if the sea serpents are easily killed by them, do not attack them; instead, negotiate with them."

After the burly old man finished speaking, the villagers of the entire town began to move.

"Captain Leon, we'll be at the island in five minutes at most."

On the massive lion-headed warship, a fat man gripped the helm and shouted loudly.

"The first magnetic point captured by the Log Pose appears to be the starting point of one of the seven routes of the Grand Line."

Not far behind the helmsman stood a burly man, about 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles. He was none other than Leon, the captain of the Lionheart Pirates.

He looked at the distant island and said with a smile, "Our Lionheart Pirates ' journey on the Grand Line will begin here."

"The island doesn't look very big, hehehe, I wonder if there are any powerful figures on the island." A man with short white hair, wearing a black trench coat, crossed his arms and had two curved knives at his waist.

"We still need to be careful, after all, it's the Grand Line."

Leon waved his hand and said, "Everyone, prepare for battle."

The Lionheart Pirates ' combatants immediately picked up their swords and guns, gathered by the ship's side, and waited for the ship to approach the island.

But the next moment, with a loud boom, the pirate ship began to shake violently.

"What happened? Did you hit a rock?"

Leon frowned. The ship was rocking violently, but he seemed completely unaffected. He strode to the ship's side, looked down, and found nothing in the sea.

"Over there, there's a sea fish, a huge Black Fish." The white-haired man stood on the other side, looking into the distance, where he saw a huge Black Fish rushing towards them from underwater.

"A fish over forty meters long can't damage our boat. Don't worry, raise two more sails and speed up towards the island."

Leon said nonchalantly.

But just then, a boatman ran out of the cabin and shouted, "Boss, it's leaking!"

"Leaking? Are you sure? Were our boat wrecked by a fish?" Leon frowned and said, "This boat is made of ironwood from the South China Sea, how could it be wrecked by a fish?"

"And with three compartments damaged, if this happens twice more, our ship will sink," the boatman shouted.

"How is that possible?"

This ship was recently hit by a dolphin that was 70 or 80 meters long, but it was completely unharmed.

This sea fish looks to be less than fifty meters long, yet three of its compartments were smashed apart?

boom.

The ship was struck again and began to shake once more.

"Damn it, you take some men to repair the cabin, the rest of you prepare to fire harpoons."

Leon shouted, then stepped aside, gripped the massive ballista with both hands, and asked, "Where is the sea fish now?"

"He's on the port side now."

A combatant replied, Leon immediately pushed the ballista to the port side and looked out at the sea.

A huge Black Fish charged toward us, its head skimming the surface of the water.

very good.

Leon moved his ballista and aimed it at the Black Fish.

The massive crossbow, with bolts that were 1.5 meters long and made of steel, could pierce through walls when propelled by four bowstrings.

Even the head of a sea monster cannot withstand crossbow bolts.

Moreover, the arrowhead has a small barb at the back, which, once it pierces the target, will hook tightly onto the target's body, preventing the arrow from detaching.

"Die."

Leon pressed the crossbow slightly downwards, then suddenly pulled the massive trigger.

Zheng.

The massive crossbow bolt shot towards the distant water, its target the Black Fish's mouth. But the Black Fish would continue forward, and the bolt could pierce its head, going straight through the bones and twisting into its brain.

But the next moment, the sea fish suddenly raised its head.

clang.

The enormous arrow struck the sea fish in the forehead, where its massive ramming horn made a deafening sound.

"Hit."

Leon suddenly waved his hand, knowing that the other party was probably doomed.

But the next moment, with a soft thud, the arrow slowly slid off Xia Qiu's head and fell into the sea, while the sea fish rushed at him again.

"Too light."

Xia Qiu grinned, revealing his menacing teeth, as a massive arrow struck his forehead, precisely where the horn had struck.

Through continuous evolution, Xia Qiu's ramming horn has become larger and larger, like the forehead of a sperm whale and Flowerhorn Cichlid combined.

It protrudes above the upper jaw, forming an arc that extends to the top of the head and then flattens out.

Its forehead protrudes less than that of the Flowerhorn Cichlid, but its curvature is also smaller, making its head more rounded than that of the sperm whale.

The outer layer of the ram is scales, underneath is muscle, and below that is thick, protruding bone.

After Xia Qiu's ram was hit, its scales dented, and it shattered into pieces after a very short time.

The arrow continued its impact, tearing through the muscles, but the tough muscles neutralized the force; with each step the arrow took forward, its power diminished.

The arrow was blocked after only breaking through an inch, and there was muscle behind it, so it didn't even touch the hard bone.

Arrows capable of piercing the skulls of sea monsters only damage Xia Qiu's scales and the outer layer of his muscles.

boom.

Xia Qiu continued charging towards the pirate ship.

"It... it didn't work."

The white-haired man was stunned. The crossbow bolt hadn't missed; it had hit the man's head, but hadn't caused him much damage.

"Is it no use?"

Leon's face was grim. He had already rammed the pirate ship twice, and if he did it again, the pirate ship would sink.

It was too late to change the crossbow bolts and try again, and besides, it might not even work.

As for myself, I absolutely cannot wait until the pirate ship sinks.

Puff puff puff.

The harpoon fired its spears, but most missed, and a few didn't even touch the fish.

Leon watched the Black Fish rapidly approaching, and its partially exposed head.

He narrowed his eyes and shouted, "If I fall into the sea, quickly pull me out!"

"Boss, you want to..." The white-haired man looked at Leon upon hearing this.

The next moment, Leon's body suddenly grew larger, tearing his clothes, and golden fur grew on his body, turning his head into a lion's head.

His arms grew thick and bushy, his hands became enormous, and his nails extended out, becoming extremely sharp. His lower legs bent backward, and his feet turned into lion claws. A long tail grew from his rear end.

He was originally 1.9 meters tall, but now he has become a 2.5-meter-tall lion-shaped man.

"Cat-Cat Fruit, Lion Form".

He jumped onto the gunwale, crouched down, and as Xia Qiu approached the ship, he braced his feet against the gunwale and then pushed off with his legs.

boom.

The side of the boat he stepped on created gaps, and his body shot down, lunging towards Xia Qiu.

His claws lashed out forward with a lunge, airflow gathering at his fingertips, creating a deafening explosion.

Lion Hunt.

Leon's claws struck Xia Qiu's head.

The moment he jumped down, Xia Qiu caught sight of him. Instead of continuing the impact, she suddenly raised her head and rammed upwards.

boom.

Leon's claws collided with Xia Qiu's ramming horn, producing a loud bang.

Click.

Xia Qiu's forehead muscles were torn open, Leon's claws struck Xia Qiu's bones, creating cracks on the surface of the bones.

But the next moment, there was another click.

Leon's arms bent sharply, cracks appearing on them, and then Xia Qiu's head, carrying immense force, continued to slam into his body.

puff.

Leon's sternum caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood into the air. He flew backward and landed on the ship, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

"Captain, boss."

The surrounding pirates immediately ran towards Leon.

However, the broken sternum pierced Leon's heart, causing his head to tilt to the side and he to lose consciousness.

Leon used Lion Hunt to attack Xia Qiu and was turned into a corpse.
