Bang, bang—!
Above the sea, the unique muffled sounds of Geppo rang out.
After Smoker was defeated by the combined attacks of Vergo and Ulti, the Marines led by Chaton, who had been crossing the air with Geppo, were shocked and enraged, but still seized the opportunity and landed safely at the port.
However, standing before them were not only several officers of the Donquixote Family, including Vergo, but also hundreds of elites led by Calamity of Drought Jack of the Beasts Pirates, along with Ulti and Drake, two members of the Tobi Roppo.
Not to mention, there were also the forces aboard fifteen or sixteen warships approaching the port from the nearby sea.
The difference between the two sides' strength was simply worlds apart.
As the strongest combatant on the Marines' side, Chaton felt immense pressure firsthand.
"Among the enemies, the strongest one is... Calamity of Drought Jack of the Beasts Pirates!"
Chaton looked solemnly at Jack in the distance.
This pirate, whose bounty had reached one billion, gave off an imposing aura just by standing there.
But for some reason, throughout the entire process from leaving the warships to landing safely, the people from the Beasts Pirates had remained unmoved and had not tried to stop them.
Smoker was simply unlucky enough to fly straight toward where Ulti was.
"Smoker...!"
The gazes of the many Marines passed through the rising dust and landed on Smoker, who was covered in blood. Every one of them struggled to hide their solemn concern.
"Calm down."
A red glint flashed in Chaton's eyes as he spoke, interrupting his comrades' urge to rescue Smoker.
With such a huge difference in strength between the two sides, trying to rescue him would only accelerate their own collapse and make it impossible to turn the situation
