From Now On, This Is My Territory?

The roar of cannon fire never ceased, and plumes of black smoke kept rising from the island ahead. On the Immortal, Mirai's face had darkened like still water, while Boa Hancock and the others had fire in their eyes. Six years ago, Mirai had declared Fish-Man Island to be Immortal Pirates territory. To cement that claim, he had slaughtered twenty thousand people in one go, including Marines and pirates.
