"Guards! Guards! Get him here now and capture this intruder who has broken into the flagship!"
The butler-like servant shouted to the surroundings, and then a large Chess Soldiers came running and surrounded Luo Chen.
"Oh no! The captain's been surrounded over there! What should we do, Sister Catherine? Should we go and help him?"
George transformed into an ancient giant ape and punched away the incoming cannonball. He then landed back on the ship and looked across to see Luo Chen surrounded by a large group of Chess Soldiers wielding long spears. Katakuri stood on the outside, coldly facing him with clasped hands. This made him panic and anxiously ask Catherine.
"No, Luo Chen is fine now, don't worry about him. We should hurry up and do as he said to repel the invading enemies, then find an opportunity to escape from here, so he has no worries."
Bang...
Singh, standing by the fence, forcefully knocked several pirates who were trying to climb onto the ship using ropes back into the water, then turned to speak to them.
"Miss Catherine is right. We're just bottom-of-the-barrel under Captain Luo Chen right now. We'd better do as he says and stop hindering the captain, understand? George, stop getting distracted and focus on repelling the intruders."
Bang...
After saying this, Singh once again swung his large hand, knocking several pirates into the water.
"Understood. To avoid worrying the captain, we'll fight with all our might now!"
Kong... Clap!
call...
Knowing their warning, George's body swelled once more, transforming into a colossal Colossal Beast. Roaring, he raised his fan-like palm and swung it forcefully at the enemy before him. The immense power emanated from his palm, almost solidifying into a tangible attack. The pirates who were slapped away did not stop their speed. The materialized gale carried the few unfortunate pirates towards their companions, sweeping away more than a dozen before finally coming to a stop.
"Hmm, not bad, George, your control over your Devil Fruit ability has improved again, and its power has greatly increased. Keep it up, and those people will soon be wiped out by us. With their companions meeting such a tragic end, the others will be deterred from coming forward!"
Catherine watched as George skillfully used his brute strength; his simple yet incredibly powerful moves swept away all the enemies in his path, and couldn't help but praise him.
"Oh, with your support, Sister Catherine, I feel my strength surging! Here we go, Vajra... Heavy Fist... Combo!!"
Spurred on by Catherine's praise, George felt that his efforts had not been in vain, and his aura surged. He roared and charged towards the pirates who had rushed into the ship, like a wolf among sheep, swinging his cauldron-sized fists and striking out Extreme Speed.
Bang bang bang...
"Ah!!"
The pirates screamed as they were blasted away one by one by George's Heavy Fist, tossed about like rag dolls and falling into the water, their fate unknown.
"Hey, even he's putting in this much effort, it's time for me to get serious too. Take this, you damned pirates, Brute Force... Armament Heavy Hammer!!"
Seeing that even the usually nonchalant George was putting in so much effort, Singh bulged his arm muscles, making them look like finely sculpted marble sculptures, with muscles perfectly distributed on his arms. Then, he clenched his fists and swung them up like iron hammers, slamming them down heavily onto the center of the pirate's body.
boom...
The hammer, as powerful as a cannon blast, blasted a large hole in the deck in the center of the pirates' territory. The pirates nearby were also sent flying without hitting the ground, coughing up blood in mid-air and falling helplessly onto the sea like birds with broken wings.
Wow...
Under the relentless counterattacks of the group, the invading pirates were overwhelmed and severely wounded, falling to the sea. Blood gushed from their wounds, staining a large area of the ocean red.
Wow...
Wow...
Wow...
Some carnivorous fish were attracted by the Bloody and scrambled to swim around and bite the unconscious and severely injured pirates.
"Ah!!
No, all of you get the hell here!
On the sea below, some pirates who were still conscious and not seriously injured screamed in agony as even these fish dared to treat them as food, scrambling to gnaw at their wounds. They swung their swords wildly at the sea, trying to cleave the small fish away and kill them.
But none of it worked. The wounded were continuously cleaved off the Isel or the ship where Luo Chen was on the other side. The blood attracted more fish of all sizes, and as they devoured it, more blood flowed out, eventually attracting small Sea Kings.
Splash...
The water surged, and a huge head, neither fish nor beast, suddenly burst out of the seabed, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down, swallowing more than a dozen pirates whole. Then it disappeared again.
"No! There are Sea Kings! Get me on board! I'm not doing this anymore!!"
The remaining pirates, witnessing this scene, were terrified and screamed as they scrambled to swim back to their pirate ship.
"Hmph, scared out of their wits by just a few people and a small fish? What use are you pirates? Fire at them! The Charlotte Family never has useless subordinates!"
Upon seeing the pirates' disgraceful display, Minister of Cream Opera on the ship darkened his expression and immediately ordered his men to open fire, showing no intention of sparing the lives of these worthless bastards.
"Yes!! Fire!"
Bang bang bang...
The gunners opened fire indifferently after receiving the order, completely disregarding their own lives.
The cannons roared, and iron cannonballs crashed into the sea, creating huge waves. The pirates were once again blown away, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, staining the waters down to their ships.
"... Hmm!! Good, what a cruel heart. No wonder they're under the command of one of the Four Emperors; their methods are so ruthless, they even disregard the lives of their own comrades..."
On the Isel, George witnessed Opera and his men calmly ordering the killing of the deserters. Their ruthlessness and insidiousness made him tremble and mutter to himself.
Swoosh...
Before he could react, a figure landed on the railing beside him.
"Partners? Are you mistaken? Those people aren't members of Charlotte's group. These useless bastards aren't even qualified to be cannon fodder, how could they be our partners? Death is their best fate!!"
Beside him, Ohm, who had been listening to his inner thoughts with his Observation Haki, looked at him indifferently.
"Hmm... who is this person? How did they suddenly appear here? And how did they know what I was thinking? Could they have abilities like the captain?!"
Opera's voice exploded in his ears like a bomb, instantly putting George on alert. He turned around and shouted at him sharply.
"Hahaha, you've only just realized? My name is Opera, and I'm the Cream Minister under Mama's command! You all have no chance of escape now, so surrender immediately!!"
Opera merely glanced at him and introduced himself, so arrogantly showing no regard for them whatsoever.
"Hmph, idiot! How could I possibly surrender? Minister of Cream Opera, let me, George, experience your skills firsthand! Take this, Kong... Ground-Falling Hammer!!"
George rolled his eyes at him defiantly, his gaze fixed intently on Opera, his fighting spirit palpable. Then, with a powerful stomp, he Rush forward, gathering all his strength in his legs, and stomped down with tremendous force.
Bang...
Opera raised his creamy white arm and gently shielded George in mid-air. The impact caused the air to hum and ripples to spread outwards, while the surrounding sea, including the Isel, churned and rocked violently.
"Very good, a bit powerful, but not enough, creamy cream... Lay the carpet flat!!"
Opera gave a slight jerk of his arm, knocking the man back, then immediately moved up and pressed down with both hands, creating streams of cream that flowed towards George.
"Ugh, what's this? Disperse it!!"
George, who was being shaken off and falling, didn't have time to react before being stuck and wrapped up by the carpet of cream. He tried to shake off the cream, but to no avail. The cream continued to wrap around him, quickly enveloping him like a spider trapping its prey.
Thump...
George, bound hand and foot and wrapped in cream, was unable to break free of the oil net. His strength gradually faded, and he finally reverted to his original form, falling to the floor with a thud.
