Robbing the Black Shark Pirates
Pulled by the three-tailed Tailed Beast Isobu in the water, Tianqi and his group quickly came to the surface from the depths of the ocean. However, as soon as they emerged from the sea, they were surrounded by dozens of ships.
"Captain, it seems we've run into trouble as soon as we set sail!" Beckman said to Tianqi with a slight frown.
"This is the Black Shark Pirates in the New World that specializes in robbery. I encountered them before when I was with Captain Roger. Their captain was Karipu, and he was also a user of the Logia-type Black-Water Fruit. They were very troublesome!" Shanks explained calmly.
When they first entered the New World with Roger, their first enemy was the Black Shark Pirates. However, at that time, the Black Shark Pirates didn't have that many people and ships. But now, in just a few years, they have grown to such a large force. It's truly unbelievable.
"Pirate Crew that specializes in robbery?" Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly. The New World was indeed full of strange and wonderful things. There was even Pirate Crew that engaged in double-crossing. That was quite novel.
"Yes, this sea area is basically the only way for people from the first half of the Grand Line to cross Fishman Island and reach the New World. And the people of the New World are already very powerful. They can catch people from the first half of the Grand Line almost every time they come here. Faced with overwhelming strength, they can almost always rob those who cross Fishman Island of their money!" Shanks said calmly, pressing down his straw hat.
With money, development naturally accelerated, and the powerful abilities of the Logia-type Black Water Fruit made it easier to recruit people. Growing from just a few ships to nearly fifty ships was not difficult at all.
"Listen up, pirates! Hand over your treasure now, or you won't get any further!" Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a captain's coat and with a knife at his waist shouted. This man was Karipu, the captain of the Black Shark Pirates.
With Karipu's command, the cannons of about fifty ships were aimed at the Conqueror. If all fifty ships fired at once, the Conqueror could be sunk in an instant. This kind of lineup was indeed very intimidating, and some slightly stronger Pirate Crew would have no choice but to obediently pay up if they were surrounded like this.
"Captain!" Shanks asked, looking at all those cannons.
"If an ordinary Pirate Crew encountered this situation, they would really have no choice but to submit obediently, but unfortunately they've come to the wrong person!" Tianqi said, directly mobilizing his Time Force.
"Time Domain!" As Tianqi raised his right hand, the Time Domain unfolded and enveloped the entire ship, a transparent energy shield covering the Conqueror.
Seeing the captain's actions, Shanks and the others smiled slightly. It seemed that the captain was preparing to annihilate these guys. It was a real treat to see the captain Kamui.
"Captain, the people on the other side don't seem to want to obey!" A chubby boy ran up to Karipu and said anxiously.
"I can see it without you telling me. Order everyone to fire symbolically, but don't hit their ship. Some people won't learn their lesson until they see the coffin. I believe that when they see the power of our cannons, they will obediently hand over their money!" Karipu gave his orders to his men while looking at the ship opposite him with a sneer.
He'd encountered these tough nuts before, just like in the first half. They wouldn't hand over the money no matter what he said, always stubborn and unyielding. But every time he fired, they'd obediently pay up. Karipu realized that arguing with these guys was useless; he had to fire to teach them a lesson.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dozens of cannons fired directly at Tianqi and his group, but instead of aiming at the Conqueror's hull, they fired at the surrounding seawater. However, even though they were firing at the surrounding area, it was still within the range of the Time Domain, and in an instant, the cannonballs were corroded and disappeared by the Time Force.
"They actually dare to fire at us! These ignorant fools really think I'm a pushover, don't they? Isobu, destroy those small boats! Don't touch the big ship in the middle!" Seeing that the other side actually dared to make a move, Tianqi also ordered Three-Tails with a displeased expression.
In the Hokage world, he could restrain himself a bit because everyone was related to him, but it's different in the One Piece world. Everyone is a stranger, and Tianqi won't tolerate their bad habits.
"It's Tianqi!" The Isobu emerged from the sea and immediately condensed Tailed Beast Ball, launching an attack on the surrounding small boats.
"Tailed Beast Barrage!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Isobu fired Tailed Beast Ball in succession, destroying several ships with each shot. Ordinary Tailed Beast Ball could easily destroy small hills tens of meters high, let alone ships gathered together, which were practically sitting ducks.
"Is this a sea monster of the Sea King class? How can it have such an attack method? All ships, fire all your cannons and destroy that sea monster!" Seeing the sea monster suddenly appear and attack his ship, Karipu was surprised but quickly ordered his men to open fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
The sight of hundreds of cannons firing simultaneously was truly spectacular. However, as spectacular as it was, it posed no threat to Tianqi's Time Domain. The hundreds of shells disappeared before they could even get close to the Conqueror.
Seeing this, Karipu frowned. He felt that he had met his match today. So many cannons firing simultaneously hadn't even produced a spark. The enemy was tough to deal with. However, despite being tough, Karipu was not afraid at all.
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Let's see how long he can hold out!" Karipu shouted, and hundreds of cannons immediately began firing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Thousands of shells flew towards the Conqueror at high speed. Although the number was large, the result was still the same. They were still corroded and disappeared before they could get close.
"What! How could this be!" Karipu stared wide-eyed at the bizarre scene. His own ships couldn't even touch the enemy's, while the enemy's Sea King Beasts were constantly reaping their ships. This was incredibly frustrating.
Unlike Karipu's frustration, Shanks and the others watched all this with ease. At the same time, they were shocked by the Three-Tails sea monster's attack power. This terrifying output and power was comparable to that of a Marine Admiral. They never expected that something their captain could casually create would have Admiral-level destructive power. It was simply monstrous.
"Ah! This is outrageous! You bunch of brats, our Black Shark Pirates are not as simple as you think! Charge!" Seeing that his accumulated power over the years was about to be destroyed, Karipu drew his katana and angrily ordered the ships to charge out. Today, he would fight these guys with sheer strength.
"Pfft, hahaha, that's hilarious!" Shanks and the others burst out laughing when they heard Karipu's roar.
Even Admiral Buddha Sengoku was no match for his own captain, let alone Karipu, who relied on robbery. I really don't know where this guy gets his confidence from. Hasn't he realized that the two are not even on the same level?
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at? Today, I, Karipu, will show you that the New World is not a place for brats like you!" Seeing Shanks and the others mocking him with disdain, Karipu's anger reached its peak.
"Heh, this barking is pointless. Forget it, I don't want to waste any more time with you trash. Let me finish you off with one move!" Seeing that there were only a few ships left, Tianqi withdrew his Time Force and drew the Heavenly Cloud Sword from his waist.
"Entangle!" Martial aura enveloped the Heavenly Cloud Sword, instantly turning the entire weapon pitch black. However, this was not the end; Tianqi then covered it with wind-attribute Chakra.
Seeing the Armament Haki surrounding Tianqi, Shanks and the others finally nodded in satisfaction. After witnessing their captain's various strange abilities, they were finally seeing one they recognized. For some reason, they felt a bit strange at this moment. Previously, they had always felt unable to integrate into Tianqi's attack patterns, but this Armament Haki directly narrowed the gap between them.
"Take this!" Tianqi swung his weapon forward with force, combining the energies of the Hokage and One Piece worlds, instantly unleashing a blade of energy tens of meters long that attacked Karipu's ship.
"Holy crap! Is this some kind of exaggerated attack?!" Karipu was completely dumbfounded as he watched the massive blade energy attack approach. He had thought it was just an ordinary strike, but he never expected it to be so terrifying. He was so frightened that he stood frozen in place.
