The New World, Subbi Island.
The Red Hair Pirates' first line of defense against the Navy.
Countless pirates gathered at the harbor rushed toward their ships. With the Navy humiliating their boss like this, how could they stay calm?
One pirate ship after another set sail for the Navy's base, led by the powerful pirates under Shanks.
Battle cries boiled across the sea. No one noticed the danger closing in...
Thousands of meters above, deep within the clouds.
The entire fleet stationed on the front line against Red-Hair had gathered here.
Sote wore a grave expression as he controlled the fleet, moving behind the clouds a little ahead of the pirate fleet on the sea below...
Until fewer and fewer pirate ships were sailing out from the island...
Sensing that the time was right, Sote spoke in a cool voice that carried across the entire fleet through the Den Den Mushi:
"All hands, battle stations. Prepare to drop shells."
His Observation Haki sensed the air below, the wind direction, and more...
Under his power, the fleet swiftly adjusted its position. Once everything was nearly ready, Sote raised his right hand and swept it down:
"Release!!!"
The Aerial Fleet consisted of dozens of warships, each carrying a thousand soldiers. As they unleashed their full payload, the entire sky seemed to vanish behind dark clouds...
The pirates below.
They only noticed that everything had suddenly gone dark, until a terrified shout rang out...
"Look up!!!!"
More and more pirates looked skyward, their eyes widening in horror...
"Run!!!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom-
Explosions erupted everywhere, pounding the open sea and the pirate ships.
Bubbles, cotton, and wildly flying Sword Aura began appearing above the pirate fleet, intercepting the shells.
