"What a headache~. Better clean up this mess and clock out already."
Streams of golden light converged around Kizaru. In the blink of an eye, his entire body shot out from the mountaintop, transforming into a beam of light that streaked across the night sky.
Over the turbulent waters between Udon and Onigashima, vast flames and thick smoke rose into the sky. The sea was littered with shattered, battered wrecks, and the air reeked of acrid gunpowder.
After a night of artillery exchanges, Bege's gang and the Beast Pirates had both suffered heavy losses. Even so, the thunder of cannon fire had yet to cease.
"There's still no word from that side. Don't tell me it's already over?"
Bege watched the sky return to calm, lost in thought.
Suddenly.
A streak of golden light flashed through his field of vision, stopping above the sea before condensing into a human figure.
"What an intense fight. Such terrifying firepower, how scary."
Kizaru pursed his lips in a lecherous mutter, crossing his hands before his chest and pinching his thumbs and index fingers together into circles. Blinding light flared from between them.
"Since both sides are pirates, then this old man won't hold back."
"Yasakani Sacred Jewel!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless light bullets shot from Kizaru's hands. The entire sky was blanketed by them, as if they were about to fill the whole sea.
"Oh no!"
"It's Kizaru!"
"Why is a Marine Admiral here?!"
The brilliant flashes reflected across everyone's faces. To both Bege's side and the Beast Pirates, the sight was nothing short of despair.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dense light bullets rained down like a golden meteor shower. Every single one carried enough power to destroy a warship. The fleets, like a tide of savage beasts, were blown apart
