Clockwork Island's Adventure

The Moya Adventure Group fleet was currently underway.

There were seven ships in total, the Yanhuang Ships 1-7, carrying over three hundred people, with forty to fifty souls aboard each vessel.

On the main ship, inside the grand hall, Captain Moya sat at the head, surrounded by Navigator Nami, Doctor Kaya, Cook Rim, Assistant Cook Rika, Secretary Maddie, and Gardener/Gunner Nojiko.

The officers included Combatant Buggy and Artilleryman El Drago.

The squad leaders consisted of Butler Dis, Acrobat Cabaji, Beast Tamer Mohji, Hypnotist/Dancer Jango, Siamese Cat Sham, Spotted Cat Buchi, Swordsman Golass, Great Spear Krieg, Ghost Gin, and Pearl the Invincible.

They were accompanied by the battle pet Richie and several rare beasts kept by the women.

"Captain, a small island as high as the clouds has been spotted ahead!" the lookout shouted.

"Hmm? This looks a bit like Clockwork Island from the movie."

"It seems like it could serve as a small base for manufacturing weapons."

Moya recalled the Playing Card Pirates from the film; he remembered there were a few decent underlings among them.

"Since everyone is here, let's hold a quick meeting."

"The island ahead is called Clockwork Island, and it is currently occupied by the Playing Card Pirates."

"Their captain is Bear King, a Steel-Steel Fruit user. Their officers include Honey Queen, a Paste-Paste Fruit user; Boo Jack, who wears a suit of spiked armor; Pin Joker, a needle-sword fencer; and finally, the gas-propelled Ace—I forget his exact name—along with several hundred underlings."

"Take a look and pick your opponents. As for their captain, leave him to me. In any case, let's make this quick."

Moya revealed the enemy intelligence and issued his orders, speaking with keen interest.

"Captain, that's too few enemies! There won't be enough for us to go around," El Drago immediately chimed in.

"Same old rules, the swordsman is mine," Buggy chuckled, his face twisted with malice.

At this, the swordsman Golass silently closed his eyes, knowing he couldn't out-compete the officer Buggy and thus had no right to choose an opponent.

"I wonder how much treasure that pirate crew has collected? It's been so long since I've looted anything."

Nami's eyes turned into the shape of Beli.

"In that case, just swarm them. Whoever grabs an opponent gets to keep them; don't waste any time."

"Launch a full-scale attack and liberate Clockwork Island."

"Yes, Captain!!!"

"Captain, the enemy has spotted us, and a fleet is charging toward us," the lookout yelled.

"Then let the battle begin. Open fire and charge!"

Both sides were small fleets, and neither lacked momentum.

Sonic Laser Cannon!

El Drago launched the first strike, his laser instantly piercing through an enemy pirate ship, causing a violent explosion.

Honey Queen's face was etched with terror, and Boo Jack, standing beside her, broke into a cold sweat; they had encountered a terrifying enemy.

"Retreat! Retreat! Go back and find Bear King!"

The battle collapsed at the first touch. Heart-wrenching screams filled the sea as the Playing Card Pirates fled in a frenzy.

The Moya Adventure Group pursued them with aggressive momentum.

They soon approached Clockwork Island. After docking, the Playing Card Pirates scrambled off their ships and fled directly back to Trump Castle.

"It's bad! It's bad! Bear King, a powerful enemy is attacking! Quickly activate the giant clockwork to defend against their assault!"

"What's going on? Enemies attacking? My King Cannon just entered its test-fire phase; let them have a taste of its power."

Seeing the Moya Adventure Group rapidly approaching, Bear King aimed the King Cannon at their ships.

With a loud boom, a solid cannonball was fired at high speed.

"El Drago, destroy it."

Moya watched the projectile and said calmly.

"Yes, Captain, watch this."

El Drago fired a Sonic Laser Cannon in the direction of the shell.

A violent explosion erupted, smoke billowed, and endless waves surged across the sea as the shockwaves rippled outward.

Without a second thought, El Drago fired again. A beam of light shot into the sky, striking the top of Clockwork Island, destroying the throne and causing Bear King's King Cannon to tilt and collapse.

"Land the ships! Attack!"

The Moya Adventure Group's ships reached the shore, and the underlings swarmed onto the island.

However, the staircases were controlled by Bear King's island mechanisms, turning into slides as traps like seawater and rolling boulders came crashing down upon them.

Moya sat in his main seat, while Secretary Maddie held a notebook, recording Moya's words and the performance of the crew members.

Rim held a tray of snacks, standing silently to the side, while Rika handed drinks to Moya.

Nami and Nojiko both held binoculars, watching the crew members attack, with Nojiko even raising a sniper rifle to practice taking potshots.

The squad leader took the lead, charging up the stairs, but El Drago fired his Sonic Laser Cannon, destroying the stone stairs along with the traps.

"You dare to resist like this? Show them what we're made of!"

El Drago roared in anger.

Sham the Siamese cat, the swordsman Golass, and Gin the Man-Demon, possessing the advantage of speed, were the first to charge up the moment the traps were destroyed.

Cabaji the Acrobat, Mohji the Beast Tamer, Jango the Hypnotist, Buchi the Spotted Cat, Krieg the Great War Gun, and Pearl the Invincible followed closely behind, leading the underlings.

In no time, they reached the top floor.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out; the swordsman Golass instantly locked onto Needle Sword Pin Clown, their blades clashing violently and stirring up gusts of wind and turbulent waves.

This clown swordsman had once been defeated by Zoro, and the scar on his face was from Zoro's blade, though given Zoro's personality, he had likely long forgotten such a weakling opponent.

Gin the Man-Demon held iron tonfas in both hands, smashing them toward Jack's spiked armor, showing no mercy as if venting his hatred for his former captain Krieg's hedgehog armor.

Don't let Gin's sickly appearance fool you; he was a man of immense strength, and Sanji was no match for him in terms of raw power.

The Siamese cat was not as lucky as Nami, as he faced the gas-jetting One, who resembled a skunk—let's call him Skunk One.

Facing Skunk One, who could fly by jetting gas and used poisonous gas sprays for attacks, the Siamese cat had no way to counter, forced into a passive state of dodging everywhere.

"Haha~ Sham the Siamese cat, I told you to run so fast, look, you're just getting beaten up, it's hilarious."

Buchi the Spotted Cat's laughter echoed from the stairwell.

Sonic Lightning Laser Cannon

Seeing the erratic Skunk One, El Drago impatiently unleashed his recently perfected ultimate move, an enhanced version of the laser cannon guided by Moya's assistance.

Skunk One was instantly blown to pieces; indeed, the strike even hit his gas equipment.

Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, shocking everyone present, including El Drago himself.

"I didn't expect the power of this move to be so strong under the Captain's guidance, haha~"

El Drago laughed heartily, completely ignoring the force of the gas explosion.

This move was originally a piercing ultimate technique, somewhat similar to Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, the move that killed Goku and his brother.

"Who are you people? Why are you attacking our Playing Card Pirates?"

King Bear was terrified, shouting in a fit of shame and anger.

"Our captain says it's just for training, to get some exercise, and by the way, to liberate enslaved islands and earn a little pocket money."

At this moment, Buggy the Clown's snide laughter drifted over.

Another clown; there was the Playing Card clown here, plus Buggy the circus clown, and if the underworld emperor clown Doflamingo were to show up, this scene would be quite interesting.

That old thief Oda really likes the playing card theme; the Donquixote Family is a legion based on playing cards, and Kaido's Beasts Pirates are as well.

"Are you their captain?" King Bear asked.

"No, no, I'm just a minor officer; the captain is still on the ship behind us. To deal with you, we are more than enough."

Buggy still wore a grinning expression.

"How dare you look down on me like this! I will fight you to the death."

Anger instantly drowned out his fear, and King Bear launched an attack.

Special Hot Bowling

Activating his Iron Devil Fruit ability, King Bear's hands began to heat up, turning into red-hot steel with astonishing temperatures, radiating waves of heat.
