One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 174 Beasts VS Red Hair
Waters off Gottel Island.

Torrential rain poured down, and towering waves crashed into the sea!
The Red-Haired Pirates, with only one ship, faced a massive fleet of over a hundred warships from the Beasts Pirates.

They're in dire straits!

Loxda knelt down in despair.

They're definitely doomed!

"Boss, let's run!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Beckman pulled Lockstar back.

Red-haired Shanks arrived at the bow of the ship, gazing at the vast fleet of beasts.

This scene reminded him of the Battle of Ait Volt.

In that war, they faced the same massive fleet of Shiki the Golden Lion, the difference being that back then he was still an apprentice, while now he had become a captain in command.

It's his turn to make the decision!
"Uro ro ro!!!"

The Azure Dragon roared and circled above the fleet.

"Red-Haired Shanks, surrender! If you join my ranks, we can take over the whole world!"

"I have no interest in ruling, Kaido!"

Shanks drew his sword and uttered the exact same words as Captain Roger, then unleashed his Conqueror's Haki once more.

"If you really want to start a war, then come prepared to fight to the death!"

"What a shame!"

Kaido's eyes were cold.

Since we can't be used by him, we have no choice but to kill him!

"Ura- ...

"Slay all the beasts!"

The two captains gave the order at the same time!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The continuous roar of artillery fire and the explosions of waves around the Redford kept the officers busy with countless shells.

There are too many!
But the threat doesn't only come from the front!
From the direction of the island, the Groudon sped out of the port and approached the Red-Haired Pirates, with cannons aimed at them.

Speed ​​commands the gunners.

"Bombardment!!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several shells flew toward the stern of the Redford!
"I'll hold them off!"

Beckman rushed to the stern, raised his pistol and fired a series of shots, piercing through all the shells coming from behind.

On the deck, Lachiru roared.

"Boss, if this keeps up, the brothers won't be able to hold them off!"

"I see."

Shanks' face was covered in rain.

Faced with a hundred times the firepower, they could only take the beating. The most important thing now was to find a breakthrough and fight their way out of the encirclement.

"Yospasm!"

"give it to me!"

Yasopp raised his spear and aimed.

"boom!!!"

A Beast Warship exploded violently, flames shooting into the sky.

"Damn it, are they aiming at the ammunition depot?!"

Forsford ran to the side of the deck and looked at the warships exploding one after another not far away. He knew very well what had happened.

Only one person among the enemy could do that!
Yasopp the Chaser!
Several warships were destroyed in succession, creating a gap in the encirclement!

"Captain Forsford, orders are in order!"

"understand!"

Jhin, Queen, Jack, Who's Who, and other Flying Six executives and above, all yelled at their subordinates at the same time.

"Move the boat closer!!!"

The officers' warships accelerated out of the main fleet and charged toward the Red-Haired Pirates under the cover of artillery fire.

It's wishful thinking to think that firepower alone can destroy the Four Emperors' crews; boarding maneuvers are the only way to maximize the advantage of combat power.

Even if it's ten for one, the beasts will still be victorious in the end!
As officers of the Beasts, their mission is to lead the charge, hold off or eliminate enemy officers as much as possible, until the enemy is completely wiped out!

"Boss, the beasts are approaching!"

"There are flames in the sky!"

"A pterosaur? It's the Flame Calamity, Ash!"

"All the cadres have been mobilized!"

The Red-Haired Pirates immediately noticed the Beasts' movements, and their hearts sank. The biggest challenge was yet to come!

"I'll deal with him!"

Combatant Lyme Jones leaped into the air and charged toward Ember with Moonwalk; among the officers, he was the most skilled in aerial combat.

Just as he approached Jin, a red figure shot out from the Beast Warship below, its sword-like fangs biting towards his throat!
"Iron Block - Fang Flash!" *Clang!!!*

The stun gun blocked the fangs!

Upon seeing the troublemaking enemy, Lyme Jones's gaze darkened.

"Fozzle-Fozfer!"

"What an honor! I didn't expect you to have heard of me!"

Fozfoe stepped on Moonwalk, grinned with a dangerous smile, and raised his right leg high behind him to gather strength.

"I heard you're good at aerial combat, and coincidentally, I'm good at it too!"

"Lanjiao!"

A crescent-shaped wave shot out!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Lyme Jones quickly stomped on the air to avoid the incoming slashing wave, but the next moment, Forzford caught up with him.

Tsukiho VS Tsukiho!

"That bastard Fawzier!"

Sasaki was annoyed to see Fozfoe steal the spotlight, but there was nothing he could do. He could also fly, but only at low altitudes.

"Faster!"

"Captain, this is already the fastest we can go!"

The Beasts warships launched their charge, while Red-Haired's ship also changed course to avoid boarding maneuvers with the Beasts.

If they are held back by the Beast Cavalry, and the Beast Fleet forms an encirclement again, it will be almost impossible to break through.

But the enemy will not let them leave easily.

"Bang bang bang!"

Yasopp turned his gun around and aimed at the rapidly approaching Jhin. Known for his perfect aim, he missed several shots in a row against the high-speed Jhin, a rare occurrence for him!
Jhin's flight speed is too fast!
Even if a bullet hits, it cannot cause effective damage.

Hongo yelled a warning: "Yosbu, that guy is a Lunaria! Shoot him when he accelerates and then shuts down!"

"I know!"

Jesus' palms were sweating.

He certainly knew the other party's information, but as the third-in-command of the Beasts Order, King the Wildfire was not so easy to deal with.

Even when its fire is off, Jhin's flight speed is comparable to that of a bullet.

"cover me!"

Yasopp closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and knew that to hit Jhin, he had to anticipate his opponent's movements and disrupt his judgment!
"Boom!"

Yasopp suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the trigger repeatedly. The gunshots overlapped, and if one was not paying attention, one might even think that he had only fired one shot.

One shot to lure the enemy, one shot to kill!
In the sky, Jhin sensed the bullets coming from below, the flames behind him disappeared, and his flight speed suddenly increased!

As he dodged the bullet, another bullet hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared and shot rapidly toward his face.

Jin's pupils contracted.

"boom!"

A corner of the helmet was broken, revealing the corner of his eye and the white ends of his hair.

A trickle of blood slid down his forehead!

King stopped flying, his gaze coldly fixed on the Red-Haired Pirates below, and he raised his hand to pull up the crown on his head.

His entire face was stretched and deformed!

This scene caused the officers of the Red-Haired Corps to change color.

"Yosbumi, you've angered him!"

"I don't want to either!"

"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution!"

After the cadres exchanged a few words, Lachiru suddenly leaped into the air, curling into a ball and blocking the view directly above them!

"Diao Zhenghuang!"

Almost simultaneously, a terrifying shockwave pierced through the air!

"puff!"

Lachiru coughed up blood, his round body flying towards the deck like a ball. Even with the fat that could cushion most of the impact, he still suffered under Jhin's attack.

"Lachi Roux!"

The cadres quickly caught Lachiru, but were nearly crushed to death.

"Get up, you're too heavy!"

"Feel sorry!"

"Lachiru, are you alright?"

"It's nothing serious!"

Lachiru rubbed his belly, which was visibly bruised and swollen, wincing in pain. But it was a miracle that his body hadn't been pierced by the attack.

"This time it's a big deal!"

In the blink of an eye, the Beasts' executive warships had approached, and one after another, renowned executives appeared.

Cold sweat mingled with the rain, sliding down the cadres' foreheads.
