Pirates' Max Level System

Black flames burned on the shield, gradually transforming into the upper half of a skeleton. This was Susanoo's initial appearance.

The familiar ability and the familiar feeling came back. Before Ganggu Kong's eyes, the battle between Liuyun and the knife-wielding old man among the Five Elders seemed to flash again.

Knowing that the black flames were not to be trifled with, Gang Gukong quickly withdrew his fist and took several steps back. Could it be that Liuyun wasn't dead? An absurd thought occurred to Gang Gukong.

"Itachi from the Ryuun Pirates? I didn't expect you to have the guts to come and steal the body. You were the one who caused the previous incident, right? But now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."

The Five Elders were uncharacteristically calm about this situation. Perhaps they had anticipated that the Liuyun Pirates would come to seize Liuyun's body. Countless skilled Marines and World Government personnel were stationed in the square, waiting for them to fall into their trap.

Now that the real culprit has come out, the Five Elders also took the opportunity to say that the previous farce was a trick of the Liuyun Pirates.

"Father?" Cobra shouted in surprise at the rapidly changing scene.

"I underestimated the World Government. They even planned to capture the Ryuyun Pirates in one fell swoop and didn't care about the lives of so many visitors at all." Cobra said solemnly.

But what happened next would shock them even more.

Twist, twist, and twist again, infinite reversal is the theme of this execution ritual.

"Oh, it's the Five Elders. Why do you think I'm your subordinate? I can obviously be resurrected, just like you. I also eat mutated life forms."

Within Susanoo, the damaged body began to recover, its broken limbs regrowing and its scars healing bit by bit. A strange force erupted, enveloping the entire execution platform.

The overwhelmed execution platform shattered into pieces of varying sizes. Amidst the rising dust, a figure slowly emerged, holding a Susanoo. With a black cape and a mask that made it impossible to discern his features, who else could it be but Liuyun?

Everything was a performance. With the help of the illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Qin Luo blended in with those executioners who were dressed in gorgeous clothes from the very beginning.

"Liu Yun... God." The visitors in the square's stands felt that they had never been more surprised than today. Someone, no one knew who it was, but it wasn't just one person, who called out Liu Yun's name.

"Or have you forgotten the old man with the knife? How cold-hearted. At least I am still grateful to him." Qin Luo said slowly while looking at the Five Elders.

Chapter 477: Anchor of Space and Time

Qin Luo's words seemed to drop a bombshell on the crowd in the square.

Not only Liuyun can be resurrected, but the Five Elders also have the ability to resurrect. What is the mutated fruit of life? Could it be that the immortality and resurrection ability of the Five Elders are related to it?

And the old man with a knife that Liuyun mentioned, could he be the Five Elders who has never appeared? It seems that one of the Five Elders has had an accident, or may even be dead.

There were so many confirmed facts that the onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment, saying that happiness came too suddenly and the amount of information was simply explosive.

"Nonsense! The remnants of the Liuyun Pirates deserve to die." Behind Qin Luo, a voice came from the ruins of the execution platform, and a black shadow broke through the smoke and dust.

Navy Marshal Gang Gukong, the man who was briefly forgotten, gathered strength in his right hand and pointed a gun at Qin Luo. The sky full of shadows enveloped Qin Luo, leaving no gap.

This scene just proved the old saying, "much ado about nothing." The terrifying, thunder-like finger shadow was a flash in the pan. After it touched Qin Luo's Susanoo, it was completely confiscated without causing a ripple.

It's such a common move. If you want to launch a sneak attack, just do it. Why shout out 070? I have to say that Kong Ganggu made the stupidest decision.

"Quack." Gang Gu Kong's attack failed to break Susanoo's defense, but the intensive knocking sound it brought made Qin Luo extremely annoyed.

The flames of Susanoo became more and more vigorous, and two demonic arms appeared, slapping towards Gang Gu Kong and sending him flying far away.

"Let's do it. No matter if he is the resurrected Liuyun or the remnant of the Liuyun Pirates, we will know after the fight." In the stands, the old man with scar said after seeing the Navy Marshal Steel Bone Kong being repelled with one move.

"Yes." Behind the old man with the scar, several liaison officers who had been on standby quickly connected the Den Den Mushi in their hands after receiving the order, and the order to take action was conveyed one by one.

In less than half a minute, two groups of people appeared in the square and surrounded Qin Luo.

One group is a naval force led by Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and Sengoku, who are led by a group of vice admirals.

The other group is the secret police force of CP0 to CP9, the intelligence agency of the World Government.

Qin Luo watched the World Government arrange its troops to deal with him at his leisure. This time, he was going to strike hard at the World Government and the Navy. How could he not let them put all their strength out? He wanted to wait until they had formed their formation and were full of confidence before he would strike them head-on.

"No way, you are going to take action here. Aren't you afraid that it will harm the guests in the stands?" Qin Luo said pretending to be afraid.

"Hmph, you're scared now, you bluffing fellow. A few casualties don't matter, it's all for the justice of the navy." Besides Garp, the only one who could fall for such a simple rhetoric was Akainu. This man was deeply poisoned by his own sense of justice.

Qin Luo seemed to give Akainu a thumbs up. This guy was so cooperative.

During this period, knowing that Qin Luo and the World Government were about to fight, the invited guests in the stands went to the refuge area one after another with the help of the waiters, but there were still a small number of people who did not have time to leave and were still in the stands.

The conversation between Qin Luo and Akainu was heard clearly by them in the empty square, which made them look at the navy with much more unfriendly eyes.

Even if they are civilians, they will be angry if the navy does not take their lives seriously, not to mention that these people are either bigwigs or royal members of various countries.

"Hmph, a cheap way of provoking me. But you actually dared to let us form our battle formation. I wonder if you are fearless or ignorant and conceited. But it's a good thing. This also gives the guests enough time to evacuate." The speaker was Gang Gu Kong. The naval marshal who was knocked away had returned from an unknown corner at this time.

"I don't want to either, but if a war really breaks out and a large number of these royal nobles are killed here, wouldn't that be exactly what your Navy and the World Government want? I'll be the one to take the blame, while you'll take control of their country and use their army against me. Sorry, I'm not a Lei Feng person."

Qin Luo's voice was so loud that almost everyone who walked away could hear it. Qin Luo simply couldn't let go of this perfect opportunity to throw dirty water, and who said that the World Government didn't have such thoughts.

"Go ahead." The Five Elders were so angry about Qin Luo's words that they ordered his men to attack without giving Qin Luo a chance to speak.

"Space-Time Anchor." Deadpool was the one most eager to attack. This time, the remaining nine Deadpools all took action, evenly distributed across the square, chanting the spell. Space-Time Anchor wasn't an offensive skill; its purpose was to seal and reinforce a specific area.

Every Deadpool who participates in the Space-Time Anchor must maintain the activation of the ban from the beginning to the end. This also means that every Deadpool who participates in it can no longer use the power of space to support the battle.

But this kind of effort also has its rewards. In this way, unless the nine deadpools outside lift the ban, no one can leave this space at all, and even the power of time and space cannot be deployed. The Five Elders are defending against Qin Luo's power of time and space.

As the Space Anchor was deployed, Qin Luo felt a strange sensation, as if the air had become solidified. Combined with Deadpool's actions, it wasn't difficult for Qin Luo to guess his intentions. Qin Luo tried to summon the Divine Power Space, but there was no response. Even the Overlord of the Sea's teleportation ability was ineffective.

This is going to be a fight to the death, but that's just what I want. Qin Luo thought about it, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Susanoo revealed its true appearance, a huge burning warrior.

Almost at the moment when Susanoo's complete form appeared, countless attacks fell on Susanoo.

A streak of white rose from the ground. It was Aokiji's Ice Age. Millennia-old ice, emitting a chilling chill, wrapped around Susanoo's right hand. This ice was surprisingly strong, and breaking it free seemed difficult.

Then came several fire blasts in his face. The last time Qin Luo saw Akainu in this form of the Fire Lord was when the navy was fighting against deep-sea monsters in the fog.

Before he knew it, a mountain-like spike suddenly shot out from under Qin Luo's feet, threatening to turn his Susanoo into a gourd. A user with a natural Devil Fruit ability he had never seen before, was he part of the World Government's secret police force?

Afterwards, countless sword energies slashed and the Navy's Six Styles struck Susanoo. In an instant, various cracks appeared on the surface of Susanoo.

Chapter 478: Miscellaneous Soldiers Exit

Seeing the right opportunity, Zhan Guo transformed into a giant Buddha and launched the long-accumulated Buddha shock wave towards Qin Luo.

This shock wave was directed directly at Qin Luo. Obviously, Zhan Guo's purpose was not only to break the shell of Susanoo, but also to cause direct damage to Qin Luo.

Qin Luo naturally noticed the shockwave that twisted the air into something substantial. Zhan Guo, should I say you're too cunning and cunning, or too greedy?

When the shock wave was approaching, Susanoo, under Qin Luo's control, moved forcibly regardless of the attacks of others.

The shockwave finally struck the right shoulder, where Aokiji Ice Age had entangled it. Susanoo's right arm snapped, dispersing into scattered flames before vanishing into thin air.

Although Susanoo's defense is very high, it will still break, and its greatest advantage lies in its repair ability. In Naruto, as long as the Uchiha caster has enough chakra, Susanoo can basically do whatever it wants.

Almost at the moment of disconnection, Susanoo successfully broke free from Aokiji's restraints and floated into the sky.

The people on the World Government side felt a little regretful when they saw Qin Luo dodge Zhan Guo's attack, but when they saw Susanoo's right arm being shattered, they cheered again, as if they saw the hope of victory.

"It seems that I have been underestimated. Let me show you true despair." Qin Luo whispered.

The Mangekyō Sharingan in Qin Luo's eyes flashed with a strange light. Purple flames surged out from Susanoo's right shoulder, and his right arm was reborn in the fire.

"Kagutsuchi no Mikoto: Rain of Arrows." Amaterasu's flames condensed into a huge crossbow arrow, almost as big as Susanoo's calf. Qin Luo shot this crossbow arrow into the sky.

This was just the beginning. The crossbow bolt, reaching the sky, stopped at its highest point and suddenly disintegrated into countless small arrows. Like raindrops, these small arrows accelerated downward under the influence of gravity, covering the entire square.

The overwhelming black rain of arrows continued to fall, so dense that there was no room for escape. The arrow rain was not fast, and it would have been easy for the people below to escape from the square at such a speed, but who made them seal off Guangzhou?

Akainu was the first to be hit by Amaterasu's rain of arrows. In the form of the Flame Demon King, he was not only huge in size, but also floating in the air. Who else could he be who wanted to suffer the most?

Akainu waved his arms, condensed from magma, in an attempt to block Amaterasu's flames. However, like a thin film encountering strong acid, they were instantly corroded and dissolved by the tiny black flames. Akainu, transformed into the Flame Demon King, was riddled with holes all over his body, and the black flames continued to spread across the magma, scorching him.

This is the second or third time that Akainu, the user of the Magma Fruit, has been burned to death by the flames. To this day, Akainu still cannot figure out what Amaterasu's flame is, and the Navy and the World Government have never heard of such a black flame.

Ignorance limits the imagination of these people.

The navy was fully aware of the horror of Amaterasu, and the World Government's secret police force might have seen it for the first time, but that didn't stop them from realizing the horror of this fire from Akainu's screams.

Aokiji and the unknown esper attacked, and two massive peaks rose from the ground, forming barriers, one white and one yellow, blocking the crowd on the ground. Those capable of long-range attacks desperately fired at the rain of arrows overhead, trying to disperse or deflect the black arrows. This effect was better than nothing.

The rain of arrows lasted for more than ten seconds. When the ominous black color disappeared from the sky, the current appearance of the square was revealed.

The entire square was pockmarked, as if it had just been struck by a meteor shower. In the very center of the square stood a mound of earth twenty meters in diameter, fringed by bits of ice.

There were still some scattered Amaterasu flames burning in the square. Qin Luo did not control these flames all the time. When the energy was almost consumed, they would automatically extinguish.

After ensuring the rain of arrows outside had ended, the earthen mound opened under the control of the esper, revealing the people hiding inside. Even with all-out resistance and defense, many vice admirals and members of the World Government were killed or wounded.

Those who died were the unlucky ones who were hit in vital areas. But in reality, a single hit from an arrow would pierce through the flesh. Even if it wasn't a vital part, the Amaterasu flames would burn both inside and outside of them. Few could withstand such an attack.

Akainu turned back to his normal size. In front of Qin Luo's Amaterasu, even if he had the courage, he would not dare to transform into the form of the Flame Demon King again. The Flame Demon incarnation just now was taken care of by too much Amaterasu's flames. Although he abandoned the outer lava shell and escaped the disaster, he was seriously injured.

Another person who received special care from Amaterasu was Sengoku, who had a hideous arrow mark on his waist. Should we say that the stick was the first to stick out, but their enlargement was their own fault.

"The small fry have been dealt with. Five Elders, why don't you take action yourselves? Or are you afraid that you will end up like the old man with the knife?" Qin Luo sneered.

But it was a bit of a bluff. He didn't have 100,000 points in his hands now, so he had no way of devouring the mutated life fruit in the bodies of the Five Elders.

……

"But." After a pause, Qin Luo said again.

"God is always merciful. Just like I mentioned before, as long as you hand over the devil fruit tree to me, I will let you go."

"Liuyun, stop thinking about it. Even for you, using this ability is not without price. If you want the devil fruit tree, then step over my dead body." The old man with the scar roared.

The Devil Fruit Tree was related to their lives. If they really handed over the Devil Fruit Tree, it would be like handing their lives over to someone else. Fear of death also had different levels. The Devil Fruit Tree was in the first order, and Qin Luo's ability to peel off the Devil Fruit was ranked behind.

But, Five Elders, by saying this, isn't that tantamount to admitting that the person before you is the resurrected Liuyun? In other words, everything Liuyun said before was true. You know, even though it was dangerous, there were still many reporters who stayed outside the square, recording the entire battle.

"Then hurry up and stop wasting my time."

Qin Luo snorted. His threats didn't work, so he decided to fight. A crack appeared between Qin Luo's eyebrows, and one eye opened. Three slightly different kaleidoscope wheels appeared on Qin Luo's face.

Blue and red flames blazed in the air, slowly growing larger and transforming into two more Susanoos. Three different-colored flaming giants blazed fiercely, reflecting the fear on the faces of those on the ground.

Chapter 479: Landing on the Beach

On the other side, at the same time as the execution ceremony began in the holy land of Marijoa, the joint forces led by the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates also began their attack on Fishman Island.

The ships at the port of Fishman Island had been cleared last night.

Needless to say, a war of this magnitude couldn't be concealed. Furthermore, those who could trade or otherwise navigate the Grand Line were well-informed and had a keen sense of smell, so they consciously stopped their ships at the Sabaody Archipelago. The war might be intense, but it would definitely not spread there, even though the two were not far apart.

Even the pirates on Fishman Island had evacuated. Even those with ulterior motives wouldn't dare stay. Not only were the fishmen worried about the pirates staying on the island, the pirates were equally worried about the fishmen.

This is Fishman Island, not the human kingdom. There are fishmen everywhere. A human among them is as conspicuous as a 10,000-watt searchlight.

The pirates who remained on Fishman Island at this time might be taken as sacrifices by the fishmen before they even started their sabotage operations.

Fishman Island doesn't have many boats. Both murlocs and merpeople can freely roam the seas, so they don't need them much. Their primary means of transportation is fish carts, which are vehicles that use large, tamed fish as mounts, often sharks or whales.

Because of the limited number of ships, the battlefield was set at the port at the underwater tunnel exit. The underwater tunnel entrance near the Sabaody Archipelago was directly abandoned.

A large number of artillery pieces were deployed at the port, ready to fire enthusiastically at the allied fleet as soon as it appeared.

As for whether there will be a fleet coated with the film and departing from Shampoo Land and taking another sea route to attack Fishman Island, there is actually no need to consider this.

Not to mention that the sea route is extremely dangerous, and one could easily end up buried at the bottom of the sea. Furthermore, if the coalition forces really made such a decision, it would be truly wonderful. Fishman Island only needs to send out the Sun Pirates to teach them a lesson.

At the entrance to the underwater tunnel near the Sabaody Archipelago, all that was visible was a fleet of ships, flying all sorts of flags. To distinguish them from their allies, the allied forces' ships were flying a new flag. It had two bones crossed in front of a fish.

It means the code name of this joint action, Kill Fish.

After arranging their order, the allied forces' ships began to enter the underwater tunnel, with the Big Mom Pirates' fleet leading the way. Two of the four sweet dessert generals, Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Cracker, were on the first ship.

Katakuri's ability to briefly foresee the future and Cracker's ability to summon biscuit soldiers are perfect for leading the charge, knowing that Fishman Island is well prepared. Of course, there's also the idea of ​​letting the two wash away their previous stains.

"Katakuri, did you see anything with your Observation Haki?" Cracker walked to the bow of the ship and patted Katakuri's shoulder and said.

Katakuri gave Cracker a stern look when someone tapped his shoulder, then calmly slapped the hand away. "Cracker, you're too impatient. It's not time yet."

"There's no comparison. Before we left, Mom said that she would eat the desserts from Fishman Island in the palace of Ryugu Castle tonight. Mom was serious. If she couldn't do it, we would be in trouble." Cracker said with lingering fear, and patted Katakuri's shoulders hard several times.

Cracker's words reminded Katakuri of his mother's face when she'd summoned them both before their departure. Cracker wasn't kidding; when his mother got angry, she was completely ruthless. Thinking of her methods, Katakuri couldn't help but feel a little scared, so he ignored Cracker's pat on his shoulder.

With a strong spirit, Katakuri no longer cared about Cracker but closed his eyes and concentrated all his attention on the perception of Observation Haki.

After a while, Katakuri suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Here they come! Light the gunpowder immediately, cracker soldiers."

There was no unnecessary movement, not even a response was needed. After receiving Katakuri's notification, the people on the first ship immediately got busy.

The first ship, carrying Katakuri and Cracker, erupted with fiery sparks from both sides. These modified rockets suddenly accelerated the ship, surging forward. Immediately afterwards, the nine ships behind it also ignited their rockets and charged forward.

"Here they come, Tsunade, they're moving fast." Tsunade and Itachi were already prepared at the harbor. It was Itachi who had just spoken. He had set up illusions of crows in the underwater tunnel, keeping an eye on the movements of the coalition fleet... He had also seen the sudden acceleration of the five ships.

"Really? Then fire!" Following Tsunade's command, the agreed-upon firing horn rang out. Although the fishmen couldn't see any ships in sight, they lit the fuses without hesitation. A barrage of shells roared towards the tunnel exit.
