Interception

There were no shortage of scattered islands in the Totto Land Waters, but this time, the New World Marines had deployed nearly half of their total forces.

Honestly, using seventy or eighty thousand men to bully a single pirate crew was rather unfair, even if that crew was one of the Four Emperors' forces.

Those pirates had never imagined that the Marines would breach their headquarters so easily. Were the reefs and Sea Kings outside the waters merely for show?

Caught off guard, the members of the Big Mom Pirates were unable to display their true strength before the wolf-like Marines sent them reeling.

"Today is the day we make our names!"

When an avalanche came, no snowflake was innocent. The Marine soldiers showed no mercy toward pirates, using every ounce of their strength to slaughter anyone who dared resist.

After leading his Marine soldiers in a charge, Koby completely occupied the island under his command and captured far more pirates than his unit's numbers.

The results were undoubtedly gratifying, yet as a newly promoted Marine colonel, he was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Why are the Four Emperors' forces so weak?"

Muttering in confusion, Koby took out a Den Den Mushi and reported to the rear command center responsible for strategy. He left half his men behind to guard the captives, then led the rest back aboard their warship to begin their assault on the next island.

Slowly nibbling away at them would not do. Swift and decisive action was the only way!

Like Koby, the former Whitebeard Pirates division commanders led by Ace also felt that the Big Mom Pirates were far too weak.

They could not understand how such a rabble could stand alongside the Whitebeard Pirates as one of the Four Emperors.

"They're all small fry. This is boring."
