Under the cover of night, the Navy boarded landing craft, paddling quietly towards the beach.
On the beach, the Pirates were still drinking, gambling, and singing.
Until a grunt went to relieve himself by the sea.
With a gunshot.
The Pirate grunt was shot between the eyes and fell into a sand pit.
As the gunshot echoed, the Navy from Branch G5 began to accelerate towards the island.
"Enemy attack!"
"Wake up!"
The gunfire on the beach startled the Pirates awake.
The Pirates quickly grabbed the weapons beside them.
Although the enemy attack was sudden, Jonathan's crew had occupied Hellenson Island for two years, proving they were battle-hardened.
Jonathan opened his eyes, his cold gaze filled with chilling killing intent.
"Another one who's not afraid of death?"
Jonathan muttered to himself, then gripped his two wolf-tooth clubs and stood up.
Jonathan was nearly 8 meters tall, and his two wolf-tooth clubs were 5 meters long, each weighing 3 tons.
However, shortly after Jonathan stood up, a lazy voice came from behind him.
"You'd best not go anywhere."
Victor said calmly.
Upon hearing Victor's words, Jonathan turned around and glared at Victor, "Do you want to be smashed into meat paste?"
Meanwhile.
The battle between the Navy and the Pirates had already begun.
Led by their bosses, the Pirates were fighting back.
There were over two thousand Pirates on the island.
Branch G5 had dispatched 3,000 Navy soldiers.
In terms of numbers, the Navy had the advantage.
However, Jonathan's crew held the geographical advantage.
The island's forest had been modified, and at some higher elevations, the Pirates had set up watchtowers.
Cannons were mounted on the watchtowers, and firing ports were available.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Cannonballs landed at their feet, and Marine Soldiers were blasted into the air, only to fall heavily onto the beach.
"Ignore those who have fallen!"
"Rush onto the island!"
The veterans of Branch G5 shouted.
Despite this, some new recruits still tried to rescue their comrades. However, while they were trying to save their companions, they became targets for the Pirate snipers.
The Pirate snipers were cunning; they didn't shoot the rescuing new recruits, but aimed for the legs of the Marine Soldiers, immobilizing them.
It took at least two healthy Marine Soldiers to rescue one injured comrade.
"Damn it!" Wright and Connor, along with others, were fresh graduates experiencing such a scene for the first time.
However, with their passion and enthusiasm, they charged to the front of the formation and engaged in a melee with the Pirate grunts on the island.
The number of Pirates falling at their feet grew.
Unknowingly, Wright and Connor had already taken down nearly a hundred Pirate grunts.
As a result, the two of them attracted a lot of attention.
For example, one of Jonathan's bosses – Great Shield Roh.
Great Shield Roh was over 6 meters tall, with a bounty of 170 million Belly.
Roh's weapon was a metal shield larger than himself.
Roh would use his shield to block any attack, and also charge with his shield, smashing all enemies to pieces.
At this moment, Roh raised his shield and began to accelerate. He took large strides, moving incredibly fast. As he charged, any Navy soldiers in his path were sent flying.
Wright, Connor, and others quickly dodged.
Roh's mere presence told them they couldn't fight him head-on!
And those unfortunate Navy soldiers who were knocked down fell to the ground, dead on the spot!
"Hahaha."
Lor laughed heartily, completely disregarding the Navy.
"Brat, you're quite strong!"
Lor attacked the two again.
Connor didn't dare to be careless. After dodging the shield's impact, he raised his leg and delivered a fierce kick.
"Tempest Kick: Javelin!"
Connor gathered the force of his kick into a slash and fiercely kicked towards the enemy. The 'Tempest Kick' slash shot out like a javelin, fiercely striking the shield.
Connor was confident in his Tempest Kick, but he underestimated the hardness of Lor's shield.
Lor's shield was made of special metal and was indestructible!
"Finger Pistol: Diamond Crush!"
Seeing this, Wright approached rapidly using Soru.
Then, he concentrated all his strength into his right index finger. The hardened finger unleashed an attack in a flash. The fingertip possessed terrifying destructive power.
Zephyr had once said that Victor had shattered a diamond with a single finger!
However, Wright's Finger Pistol was not yet fully mastered.
"Wright!" Connor, holding his swords with both hands, rushed in front of Jonathan.
"More and more brats who don't know their place."
Lor sneered sinisterly and swung his club again.
The shield directly smashed towards Connor's face.
Connor, holding his swords with both hands, tried to block it, but the blade in his hand shattered in response.
"How much longer can you laugh?"
Onigumo, wielding his twin swords, charged at Lor.
But before Onigumo could get close, a blade light flashed.
Onigumo held his sword and blocked in front of himself.
However, Onigumo was still sent flying, his feet sliding across the ground for a distance before he managed to stabilize himself.
"You're quite fast."
At this moment, a man completely wrapped in bandages appeared before Onigumo.
The bandaged man held a sword in each hand and said coldly.
Zombie Swordsman Rex, with a bounty of 190 million Belly.
"But how many blows can you block today?"
As Rex spoke, he swung his twin swords again, attacking Onigumo.
Just as Onigumo was about to use Life Return, he saw Rex suddenly stop and sidestep to block.
Under everyone's gaze, Sakazuki swung his sword at Rex.
Single sword against twin swords.
Rex, holding his twin swords, struggled to hold on.
He secretly lamented, knowing that Sakazuki's strength was superior to his.
And Sakazuki and Onigumo's strength were clearly not on the same level!
"Does the Navy still prefer to gang up on people?"
Then, another cold voice rang out.
A dark-skinned fishman with a mouth full of fangs appeared before the Navy.
Black Shark Fishman Usare, with a bounty of 210 million Belly.
Usare was skilled in Fishman Karate and also mastered Haki.
Encountering Usare at sea was definitely a nightmare.
"Hey, let me play with you." Suddenly, Borsalino walked up to Usare.
Usare looked at the Lieutenant Commander Navy officer in front of him. Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, he didn't take Borsalino seriously.
"Only Jonathan is left." Vice Admiral Nunn observed, but after waiting for a while, Jonathan still hadn't appeared.
Center of Hellenson Island.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Jonathan swung his two spiked clubs, each swing producing a whistling sound.
However, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't touch Victor at all.
Victor was like a piece of paper floating in the air, and no matter how Jonathan attacked, he could be precisely dodged.
"Who exactly are you!"
Jonathan's expression was solemn. He was proficient in Observation Haki and Armament Haki, yet he couldn't hit Victor even once, which surprised him.
