A Fierce Battle, the Advantage Is Ours

Seeing the Bloodthirsty Pirates members appear aboard the ship above, Sakazuki said coldly, "Bloody Swordsman, Nico Robin, you will both be destroyed here today!"

Nico Robin. Because of Aokiji and Jaguar D. Saul's interference ten years ago, she had survived. He had always held a grudge over that matter. Today was his chance to make up for his past mistake—as long as he killed Nico Robin here today.

"Enough nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight!" Ryan said in a deep voice. Since they were enemies, there was no need for further words. Nothing he said could possibly get through to someone like Akainu. There was only battle.

He knew that perfectly well. Besides, Akainu actually wanted to kill Robin.

A dragon had reverse scales. Touch them, and death was certain!

"Kid, prepare the cannons!" Ryan shouted at Kid, who had been watching from behind. Among the Blood Sword Pirates, Kid was the most skilled at operating the Laser Cannons.

"Roger!" With that, Kid quickly entered the control room inside the ship.

"Captain, I'm in position!"

"Blast those five warships below out of the water. Today, we'll send them on their way in this sea!" Ryan said viciously.

While Ryan and Kid were communicating, the shells from below had already come flying up.

Enel and Beli hurriedly controlled the Soaring Dragon upward. Ryan now held an absolute advantage: long-range attacks against short-range opponents, with overwhelmingly superior weaponry. As the Soaring Dragon rose farther and farther from the sea, the shells below could no longer reach Ryan's ship.

Seeing this, Onigumo, Doberman, and several other Marine vice admirals used Geppo to launch themselves toward the Soaring Dragon. Meanwhile, Marine Admiral Akainu stood below with his arms folded, watching coldly.

Very soon, the men closed in on the ship using Geppo.
