"Fire! Open fire now!" The pirate captain stationed along the long coast of Charles Island hurriedly gave the order as the vast pirate fleet entered firing range.
After rows of cannons had their fuses lit, countless pitch-black cannonballs shot from their barrels toward Buggy!
"Tch..."
A smile curled across Buggy's lips. "Blackbeard, let me be the one to give them a welcoming gift!"
He clenched both fists and violently slammed them into the space on either side!
Dense cracks in space spread forward from his fists, layer upon layer glowing green like grass after a spring rain. The immense power of shattered space erupted in an instant!
Heaven and earth changed color as the sea churned violently, then waves hundreds of meters high surged up. Carrying a world-destroying force, they soaked and swallowed every cannonball.
The Blackbeard Pirates standing ready on the island stared at the overwhelming tsunami, their eyes filled with terror. Their legs trembled beyond their control, and like frail, insignificant ants, they were engulfed by the raging waves in an instant!
The colossal waves thundered forward like a hundred rivers rushing into the sea, swallowing the coastal fortifications, obstacles, traps, forests, and houses, smashing through everything to carve out an unobstructed path!
All the ships of the Buggy Pirates rode this massive current, advancing mightily toward the center of the island.
Only after traveling over a thousand meters did the waves begin to lose momentum and slowly recede. The ships that had ridden the tide ashore also gradually came to rest steadily on land.
"Blackbeard, this is a funeral I carefully prepared for you. Don't you like it?"
Buggy smiled as he looked at the Blackbeard Pirates' elite officers and nearly ten thousand troops ahead of him.
"Zehahahaha—"
Blackbeard, standing atop the raised platform, burst into laughter.
