Momonga: What Are You Doing to My Adorable Subordinates, Pirates?

As Marco's foot was blocked by Sakazuki, a nimble figure darted through the battlefield.

"First-rate Moon Rabbit!"

A sharp cry rang out, and by the time the sound reached Marco's ears, his leg, which had been held down by Sakazuki, had already been severed!

At the same moment, Gion appeared beside Sakazuki, her sword, Pegasus Konpira, still stained with some burning blue flames.

With a flourish, she flicked the jade pendant in her hand, and the blue flames on it fell to the ground.

Even with one leg severed, Marco was not seriously injured. He quickly flapped his wings and rose into the air. His leg, which had fallen to the ground, was quickly burned away by the blue flames, leaving not a trace.

At the same time, a large amount of blue flames emerged from the wound where his leg had been severed, and a brand new, healthy, long leg quickly grew back.

"Ouch..." Marco flapped his wings and pouted in the air.

Gion smiled and looked at Marco: "This is just the beginning. There's more to come. As a swordsman, I love opponents like you who just won't die no matter how many times I hit them..."

Sakazuki, who had now fully returned to normal, stretched his neck slightly and said, "Thanks, Gion."

"It's alright, give me the Phoenix Scepter, and you can have the other one," Gion said generously.

Sakazuki had no objections. After this attack, he was certain that Kozuki Oden was a formidable opponent, and it would take some time to deal with him. If Marco were to get involved, it would be quite troublesome.

Soon, the battlefield was ablaze with blue flames, slashing attacks, and erupting lava, creating utter chaos. The surrounding Marines retreated, creating some distance, before returning to the tense battlefield to fight against the large number of pirates who charged in.

On the other side of the battlefield, Smoker pinned Pabrik, an independent captain under the Whitebeard Pirates, to the ground. Thick white smoke erupted from his hand, surging towards Pabrik's nostrils, ears, mouth, and even eyes.

Before long, Pabrik's limbs twitched several times and then stopped moving.

Smoker then released his grip, and with his other hand, he swung the Seastone Jitte he was holding, smashing the head of a pirate who was lunging at him.

The brain matter and blood splattered all over Smoker, but he didn't care at all, because Smoker was already covered in blood at this moment, and there was a wound on his chest, but fortunately the wound was not very deep and not serious.

"My life is back..." Smoker murmured softly.

Then, the wound that had been open slowly began to move and gradually closed.

Although it cannot heal immediately, it can greatly reduce the impact of the injury on the body.

"What did you do to Pabrik? You bastard!!"

Just as Smoker briefly seized the opportunity to adjust his condition, a pirate wielding a long spear slashed and killed a Marines Lieutenant. Then, with an aura of arrogance, he rushed towards Smoker and slashed at Smoker with his spear.

This pirate was none other than Skuard the Giant Vortex Spider, an independent captain under the Whitebeard Pirates.

He wielded the Filial Son Sword very well, and Smoker was not in good condition either. He was forced back several steps, and every time his Jitte touched the Filial Son Sword, a strong shock came from it, causing Smoker's tiger's mouth to hurt.

The two exchanged blows dozens of times in an instant, and Smoker suffered two more wounds. It has to be said that Skuard is indeed a person who survived a fight with Roger Pirates. Among the independent captains, his strength is top-notch.

He's nowhere near as good as Pabrik, the one Smoker just killed.

Compared to Skuard's bravery, Smoker, although Logia-type and indeed more powerful than in the original story thanks to training by Ortolan and others, was injured and his raw strength was no match for Skuard's. He was now in a state of constant retreat and could not stop him at all.

But just as Smoker once again used his Jitte to block Skuard's great attack, the corpses lying dead on the ground around the battlefield suddenly began to move, or rather, to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out from these corpses, and in an instant, the blood that gushed out of the corpses turned into the appearance of mummies.

Then, the blood gathered into a torrent and surged toward Skuard.

Skuard reacted with lightning speed, swinging his long sword, twice the length of others, in a massive whirlwind motion, unleashing a Haki force that shattered the surrounding blood.

But at that moment, Yi Yu moved with incredible speed, using the Soru to precisely dodge his whirlwind attack and close in on Skuard.

The newcomer was none other than Rob Lucci, wearing Justice Cloak and the epaulettes of a colonel!

"Shigan - Hell Thrust - One-Finger Thrust!"

Lucci's speed was too fast, and for a moment, Skuard had no time to dodge. After all, he was Great Pirate who had roamed the New World for many years. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he roared, gathering a large amount of Haki in his chest.

In the next instant, Lucci pointed a finger imbued with Haki and placed it on Skuard's chest. The two Haki clashed, and Skuard's expression showed some pain. One could vaguely see Lucci's sharp nail piercing through his Haki and touching his flesh.

It was only for a moment. Skuard immediately understood that this guy's strength was astonishing. His Haki resistance had bought him this moment of opportunity, so he stopped trying to withstand it. He slipped and used the power that Lucci had unleashed to quickly retreat and create distance. He also used his long sword to block in front of him.

"Marine Colonel!?" Skuard only then noticed Lucci's shoulder insignia, his expression one of disbelief.

Is this the kind of strength Marine Colonel should have?

Lucci didn't respond to Skuard, but instead looked at his fingers, which were slightly stained with blood. He muttered to himself with a regretful expression, "Although the Admiral taught me all the secrets of the One-Finger Thrust and even personally instructed me on how to combine it with the Shigan... in terms of power, I'm still far inferior to the Admiral..."

That's right, that move just now, the One-Finger Thrust, was a signature move that Lucci was personally taught by Ortolan!

However, he only learned this move after arriving in the New World, so his proficiency and power have not yet grown. Otherwise, that attack just now should have been enough to kill Skuard.

After making a self-deprecating remark, Lucci looked at Smoker beside him, whose breathing had gradually returned to normal, and asked, "Not bad, right?"

"No..." Smoker stretched his shoulders. "It was just that I wasn't in good form for a moment, and he took advantage of the opening..."

At this moment, Smoker also noticed a problem. He had charged ahead too fiercely and had now deeply penetrated the pirates' formation. There weren't many Marines around, but a large number of pirates had subtly surrounded them.

Just then, the Ice Witch White Bay, wielding a long spear radiating an icy aura, stood opposite Lucci and Smoker, looking at the Giant Vortex Spider Skuard not far away, and sneered, "A Rear Admiral and a Colonel, and you've been driven to this point? Skuard, it seems your strength has declined quite a bit in recent years..."

White Bay is still very strong. Don't be fooled by her seemingly young appearance in her early twenties. She actually has a knack for staying young. Back in the early days of the Whitebeard Pirates, she served as a captain alongside Newgate. When she was a key member, Marco, Jozu, and others were still apprentice crew members.

Later, she stepped down from her position as captain and went out to form her own pirate crew as an independent captain. She still revered Whitebeard as her father. In short, she was extremely powerful!

It can be said that among the independent captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, White Bay is the strongest. Her strength is absolutely top-tier among the captains!

Unlike when facing Skuard, Lucci and Smoker's expressions were very solemn at this moment. Both of them felt the powerful aura and oppressive feeling emanating from this witch!

"The intelligence report didn't say... she was that strong, did it? Just her aura alone is enough to put pressure on me..." Smoker's eyes were filled with seriousness.

His strength is not bad, so anyone who can make him feel pressured by his aura must be a master, such as the big shots like Tokikake, Gion, and Issho.

This, to some extent, proves that even if Ice Witch White Bay's strength is slightly inferior to Yixiao and others, she is still definitely a top-tier powerhouse!

However, just as Smoker and Lucci felt immense pressure and prepared to join forces,

A burst of flame suddenly erupted from behind them, setting several pirates ablaze. They panicked and rolled on the ground, crying out as they tried to extinguish the fire.

Immediately, a figure walked steadily behind Smoker and Lucci, looked at Ice Witch White Bay and Giant Vortex Spider Skuard, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing to my lovely subordinates, pirates?"

"Momonga First!?" Smoker looked at the figure behind him in surprise.

That's right, the person who appeared here at this moment is none other than Vice Admiral Momonga!

As soon as the Momonga appeared, Skuard and White Bay's expressions changed from relaxed to serious.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates have poor intelligence capabilities, they are not truly blind and deaf. Momonga's performance in the New World over the past two years has been outstanding, and his strength is not just for show!

Moreover, Momonga is now recognized as an all-rounder in the New World, and is a rare person who can use multiple Devil Fruit abilities!

Don't be fooled by his fire-breathing moments; he could very well unleash a gush of ice water the next second.

They have no choice but to be cautious!
