Chapter 201
Zeus himself was a formidable fighting force.
Chapter 137 A Decisive Strike! The Rules of the Martial World
Above the dark clouds.
Anthony looked down at the island below, which had been almost completely shattered by the lightning, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Truly magnificent, Zeus! Among us, only Miss Luna can rival your destructive power!"
"Hey-hey."
Zeus the Thundercloud, smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
However, the thunder soon ceased, and the dark clouds instantly returned to white.
Zeus's face visibly weakened, and his voice became weak, "Master, the energy... the energy is exhausted."
Without Charlotte Linlin's power supply, Zeus could no longer unleash his full power.
The lightning strike was incredibly destructive, but it also consumed a tremendous amount of energy; Zeus practically depleted all of his energy reserves in one go.
However, replenishing his energy is quite simple; just give him some lightning.
Of course, this excludes the thunderbolts he created himself. Although Zeus was just a Homies, he didn't produce and consume his own thunderbolts.
"That's enough."
Naito smiled slightly. "Ochoku should have already felt our enthusiasm."
Anthony couldn't help but laugh.
Isn't it enthusiasm?
The entire island was almost completely reduced to ruins by the intense lightning.
That was a very good greeting.
"Then, go ahead and cause a huge scene!"
Naito said calmly.
"Yes, Lord Night King!"
The giant beasts behind them roared in unison.
The next instant, they were launched out, jumping off Zeus one after another.
Below, on Hachinosu, which was almost completely destroyed, the pirates who had been forced to flee in disarray by the barrage of lightning were finally able to catch their breath.
The pirates, covered in dust and dirt, emerged from various places.
"I thought I was going to be chopped into a charcoal!"
"So what exactly happened? Is the entire cloud actually some kind of weapon?!"
"They must be a Devil Fruit user, like the Cloud-Cloud Fruit!"
As the pirates complained, panicked, and speculated, their faces suddenly froze.
Because they saw giant beasts leaping down from the edge of those enormous clouds!
"No way?"
One of the pirates murmured, almost groaning, "There's a second level?"
Boom!!
A huge crater was instantly smashed into the ground.
The next instant, a giant elephant, standing upright, roared and charged out of the crater.
A dilapidated building in front of them was instantly smashed into dust, and the pirates hiding inside were trampled into mincemeat.
This was just the beginning; more monsters rained down from the sky.
The repeated impacts on Hachinosu have made this already dilapidated island even more fragmented.
The ferocious beasts had no specific target; they simply attacked everyone on the island indiscriminately.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
A pirate captain screamed almost hysterically.
In order to escape, he even abandoned his companions.
But it was all in vain. The giant Fish-Man charged forward on all fours, crushing everything in its path in an instant, and finally opened its massive jaws and bit the pirate in two.
Ochoku essentially continued the traditions of the Rocks era.
Although the island was indeed his territory, not all the pirates on the island were his subordinates.
To be precise, Ochoku's direct subordinates only accounted for a small portion of the island's residents; the majority of the pirates were free pirates who had stayed there long-term or temporarily.
Hachinosu is essentially more like a free port for pirates.
Therefore, it's hard to say that the pirates gathered here are particularly powerful. When faced with the behemoths under Naito's command, whose strongest members are capable of going toe-to-toe with the Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, they naturally can't even put up a fight.
The giant beasts roamed the island with impunity, wantonly slaughtering everyone in sight.
"Hahahaha! Watch me crush all of you scum!"
Kadok laughed almost maniacally.
He was originally the captain of a pirate crew, but he was captured by the Navy not long after entering the Grand Line and then thrown into the Impel Down.
When I was about to freeze to death, I met the great Night King, and ever since then I have followed him to this day.
The Night King's greatness filled Kadok with admiration.
He was simply too weak to help Lord Night King, even though he had mastered the basics of Armament Haki during his nearly year-long training.
But things are different now.
After merging with a giant, ferocious ape, his power reached an unprecedented level!
He is now able to charge into battle for Lord Night King and clear away obstacles in his path!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Kadok lifted a dilapidated house and hurled it at the fleeing pirates.
People didn't even have time to scream before they were smashed to pieces.
Then, Kadok raised his head.
Before him stood a massive skull building.
"Um?"
The rest of the area has been reduced to ruins; this place only suffered minor damage.
This won't do!
The giant ape leaped up, its massive fist hurtling straight toward the building.
But, in this very moment.
"Don't be so presumptuous!"
A figure appeared in front of Kadok in an instant.
Before Kadok could even react to what was happening, the man in front of him kicked him in the face.
The immense force left Kadok's mind blank for a moment, and his body flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ruins in the distance.
The giant Masira's right cheek was caved in, and he lost consciousness.
"Hey! Who is that guy—"
One of the lion-men, who was ravaging the pirates, stared in astonishment at the figure that seemed to float on air.
The pirates, who were fleeing in a sorry state, shouted excitedly when they saw the newcomers.
"It's Lord Doro!!"
"Lord Doro has set out! The Ochoku Pirates are about to make their move!"
"We're saved!!"
The man's name is Doro, Ochoku's right-hand man, and Paramecia teleportation Devil Fruit User. Ochoku, who was at a disadvantage in the previous battle against Kaido, managed to escape the battlefield smoothly thanks to Doro's ability.
"Stay away from that guy, he's not the enemy we should be facing!"
A snake-man shouted.
Only someone like Anthony and his team can handle officials of this caliber!
"Will I be able to escape by staying further away?"
Doro's eyes were extremely gloomy.
Captain Ochoku's Hachinosu, which he had managed for so many years, has been transformed into this state in an instant!
These guys all have to die!
Behind him, figures shot out from the windows of the Skull Tower.
The Ochoku Pirates finally joined the battle.
However, of the three top officers of the Ochoku Pirates, only Doro remains.
The Paris the Sharpshooter was captured by the Marine Naito the Hero during a previous conflict with the Beasts Pirates, and the Bristone the Destruction Cannon has already died in the Fred Kingdom.
Therefore, the ones leading the attack now are only the middle-level officers of the Ochoku Pirates.
Then.
"Salt-Salt Shot."
Suddenly, a hail of arrows rained down from the sky.
"What?"
One of the Ochoku Pirates officers at the forefront suddenly looked up, drew his long sword, and deflected several arrows that were coming at him.
But the pirates behind him didn't have his reaction time or strength.
In an instant, a large number of pirates were riddled with arrows.
The pirates did try to evade or resist.
But the arrows were too fast, and the Haki Coating them was too strong; they could neither be dodged nor defended against.
"This guy is!"
The pirate who had drawn his sword to deflect the arrows looked up at the man in the sky with white wings flapping behind him, who had already drawn his bowstring once more.
"Devil Fruit User the Salt-Salt Fruit—"
Why bother struggling?
A hint of pity flickered in the eyes of the Salt-Salt Devil Fruit User. "Wouldn't it be better to just die like this?"
The next instant, arrows rained down from the sky once more.
