Entering Wano Country! Unleashing Slaughter

The enormous island-sized Thriller Bark sailed toward Wano Country.

Its massive ram split the towering waves ahead, and every pirate aboard was brimming with excitement.

As captain, Moria stood at the bow, his face and eyes filled with desire for fame and status.

Enter Wano Country, defeat the overlord Kaido, and become the new overlord.

That was Moria's only thought now.

Lin Ye sat in a corner of the deck, sheathed the sword he had been polishing, and cast his gaze over the excited pirates, his expression utterly calm.

Yet he was also looking forward to this battle.

After this battle, he would possess the true foundation needed to reach the pinnacle of the seas.

He would raise one ability to its highest level.

Moreover, Lin Ye wanted to see for himself exactly what kind of power the strongest figures on the seas possessed.

The current Moria was indeed one of the sea's top powerhouses, but compared to Kaido, who would one day become one of the Four Emperors, there was undoubtedly still a considerable gap.

What awaited the Moria Pirates next was a truly brutal battle.

The great ship cleaved through the waves, and a black line appeared on the horizon.

A pirate standing atop the sailship's towering mast widened his eyes and looked into the distance. Seeing that black line gradually thicken, he immediately shouted.

"Captain, an island is in sight!"

He did not need to shout. Moria, standing at the bow, had already lit up with fiery eyes.

"Hey hee hee hee! Gather up, boys!"

Moria spun around sharply and picked up the long blade beside him, resting it on his shoulder.

Though Moria believed himself no weaker than Kaido in this battle, he would not let down his guard. This time, the entire force would be deployed.

Upon hearing Moria's order, all the pirates began assembling.

Lin Ye also rose to his feet, hung his sword at his waist, and watched Moria approach with his blade over his shoulder.

Facing his mass of dark-clad subordinates, Moria opened his wide mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

"Hey hee hee hee! Boys, Wano Country is here, right before our eyes!"

Moria glared as he swept his gaze over the pirates present, pausing briefly on Lin Ye before moving on.

"Kaido is strong, an overlord of the seas. But since entering the New World, we have never known defeat. Once we defeat Kaido's pirate crew, we will become the sea's new overlords."

Moria's tone was fervent as he rallied his pirate subordinates.

Then, every pirate fell into a state of excitement.

"Boys, from the moment we land on that island, the war begins."

As Moria spoke, he turned and pointed his long blade toward Wano Country.

"Set course for Wano Country! Forward!"

With Moria's command, all the pirates immediately became busy.

"Kid, you don't seem to be looking forward to this war at all!"

Bai Ye turned his head toward the thickening black line at the end of the sea, hearing Moria's voice beside him.

"It doesn't matter. It's nothing more than killing people!"

As Lin Ye spoke, Moria nodded repeatedly.

"Or being killed!"

Lin Ye added.

Moria's eyes flickered at those words.

"You don't think highly of us starting this war?"

Moria asked, baring his teeth.

Lin Ye turned to look at the snarling Moria.

"That depends on whether you, Captain, can defeat Kaido."

"Hey hee hee hee! Of course I can. Your captain is invincible!"

Moria burst into wild laughter at once, and pirates nearby erupted into cheers.

Lin Ye was rather speechless at Moria's blind confidence.

Perhaps it was precisely this excessive confidence that would make him completely collapse after his defeat.

"Then I'll look forward to you defeating Kaido and becoming the new overlord of the seas, Captain."

Lin Ye said expressionlessly.

"You brat!"

Lin Ye's words sounded like flattery, but looking at his expression, they also seemed like mockery and teasing.

However, Moria knew Lin Ye's personality and did not dwell on it. He turned and left with his blade over his shoulder.

This brat's personality was far too rotten.

Men of the sea should be bold and openhearted.

How irritating, how irritating!

Watching Moria leave, Lin Ye turned his gaze toward Wano Country.

The ship beneath his feet was moving quickly.

Wano Country was also an enormous island in the New World.

Otherwise, Kaido would not have stationed himself here and treated it as a base.

Of course, Seastone was also one of his objectives.

With his eyesight, he could see that Wano Country's island was extremely tall, encircled by a ring of colossal reefs. Water flowed down from those reefs, forming waterfalls.

But over the past year, Lin Ye had seen too many strange terrains and environments, so none of this surprised him anymore.

However, figures were clearly racing across the massive outer reefs.

Lin Ye bent his knees slightly, then leaped onto the sailship's enormous mast and raised his eyes toward the direction where those figures had appeared.

They were pirates.

Pirates of the Beasts Pirates.

Lin Ye saw pirates on several massive reefs turning their cannons toward them.

Seeing this, Lin Ye jumped down from the mast and went straight to the bow.

"Captain!"

Lin Ye's sudden arrival startled Moria.

Lin Ye pointed at the massive reefs.

"Leave them to me!"

Moria turned to look in the direction Lin Ye was pointing.

"Hey hee hee hee! Then they're yours, kid!"

"My name isn't kid. My name is Lin Ye!"

Lin Ye turned to Moria and said seriously.

Hearing Lin Ye talk back to him, Moria ground his teeth together, then laughed.

"Hey hee hee hee! Fine, Lin Ye, combat captain. Those guys are yours."

Moria waved a hand.

Lin Ye nodded.

At that moment, cannon fire rang out.

Dozens of black dots shot rapidly toward Thriller Bark.

Lin Ye raised a hand and gripped the hilt of his sword. The blade slid from its sheath with a pleasant rasp.

The blade rang clear, and then dozens of Flying Slashes shot forth, cutting apart every approaching cannonball.

The cannonballs exploded in midair some distance ahead of the bow. Lin Ye glanced back at Moria.

"Captain, you only need to keep moving forward."

Before Moria could respond, Lin Ye had already leaped into the air. As his feet stepped upon the air with booming blasts, his figure shot straight toward the reefs.

"Hey hee hee hee! This brat does respect his captain after all!"

Moria said with a grin, then directly swung his long blade as Thriller Bark drove straight ahead.

"Someone's coming!"

"Fire! Fire!"

"Get the cannonballs ready!"

Pirates on one reef saw a figure running through the air toward them and were immediately shocked, shouting in alarm. But what greeted them were Flying Slashes raining down from above.

The massive Flying Slashes carved enormous sword marks into the reef.

Lin Ye landed without the slightest hesitation. His figure moved like a ghost, while the sword in his hand became the Scythe of death. In the blink of an eye, every pirate on the reef was slaughtered. With a thunderous boom, the reef trembled as Lin Ye crushed it beneath his feet and shot toward another reef.

Before his blade, no enemy could last a single exchange.

The slaughter continued as the enormous sailship pressed onward.
