"Are... are you kidding me? How many people are there?"
"That dense crowd... there must be at least a hundred thousand, right?"
"Where did the Black Hole Pirates get so many troops?"
"These people all look exactly the same... are they all robots? Has the world's technology reached this level?"
"It's terrifying! The Black Hole Pirates have only been at the top for a few years, yet their military strength completely crushes the other four Pirate Emperors. No wonder they launched this massive war!"
"..."
Morgans, who could also fly, arrived at the large island immediately.
When his mobile headquarters activated several Visual Den Den Mushi to film the island below from different angles, the whole world's attention was drawn to the central area of the island.
Standing in rows in that area were people wearing uniform clothing, identical in height and appearance.
The world was not unfamiliar with these people. After all, in those various large and small battlefields, they had seen the clone soldiers and modified humans fighting against the three Emperor crews.
Although these clone soldiers and modified humans were absolutely no match for the powerhouses of the New World...
...those pirates wielding cold weapons and firearms, or possessing only brute strength without Haki, once hit by the clone soldiers' high-tech weapons or the modified humans' lasers, would also be injured, bleed, and die.
Therefore, the combat power of these clone soldiers and modified humans was in no way inferior to the elite soldiers of Marine Headquarters. Being fearless of death, they were even more lethal than elite soldiers.
Following the rule that a large ship carries over a thousand people, the Black Hole Pirates dispatched thirty large ships this time, meaning a minimum force of thirty thousand.
This force was already larger than the Whitebeard Pirates' two-thousand-plus members and their forty-three affiliated crews totaling nearly ten thousand.
But in the end, this force was just the tip of the iceberg.
There were over a hundred thousand troops on this large island.
Even if the Kuja Pirates and the Donquixote Family didn't act, it would take the Whitebeard Pirates a very long time to wipe out over a hundred thousand clone soldiers and modified humans, during which an unknown number of people would be shot by lasers and weapons.
But knowing there was a large ambush here, the Whitebeard Pirates still had to come.
Otherwise, all those territories under their protection would have their flags struck down by the Black Hole Pirates.
Rather than fighting on their own territory and accidentally hurting their people, it was better to settle the outcome with the enemy somewhere else.
Thus, when the Perfume Yuda and the Numancia Flamingo arrived at the large island.
A large number of ships also surrounded them from all directions.
Almost all of these ships flew the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.
There were only a few ships from the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
Knowing the outcome of this war would be decided by a few individuals, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't send their entire forces. They only sent one or two top commanders and officers, leading a portion of their troops to support the Whitebeard Pirates.
After they moved out, their home bases needed at least one top commander to guard them.
The Big Mom Pirates sent the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, Charlotte Katakuri (who mastered Future Sight), and Charlotte Smoothie.
The Beasts Pirates sent King the Wildfire and Jack the Drought.
"Shirahoshi, lift our ships and take them to the center of the island."
Looking at the various sailing ships approaching from the distance, Hancock placed one hand on her hip and smiled at Shirahoshi.
"Okay, Sister Hancock."
Shirahoshi nodded obediently, then created a large amount of Flame Clouds, lifting the Perfume Yuda and the Numancia Flamingo into the air above the center of the island.
"Go! Hunt down all intruders who land on the island!"
Hancock, holding authority second only to Yami, directly issued the command to the over a hundred thousand clone soldiers and modified humans below.
Shing—
As Hancock's voice fell, the eyes behind the sunglasses of the over a hundred thousand standby clone soldiers and modified humans instantly burst with a dazzling red light.
Immediately, the clone soldiers and modified humans dispersed, patrolling the island aimlessly. Once they saw a target not in their database, they would immediately launch an attack.
"Uhihi... Nami, do you want me to create the terrain for you?"
Carina beside her suddenly asked with a smile.
"No need, it'll just waste your stamina for nothing."
Nami shook her head: "For those Great Swordsmen who can cut the sky, and powerhouses with Conqueror's Haki Infusion, changing the weather is just too easy."
After speaking, Nami smiled confidently: "Besides, even without natural lightning, the current me fears no one!"
"In that case, before Master arrives, let's help him test the strength of the World's Strongest Man."
Ignoring the blue bird flying from the sea, preparing to scout the terrain, Carina looked at the Moby Dick, the largest ship in the fleet, and said with a smile.
"Sure, let's use that move."
Nami took out her golden folding three-section staff and teased, just like in the old days: "From such a distance, can you hit it, foxy lady? Want me to take the lead?"
"I should be the one asking you that."
Carina entered her Tamamo-no-Mae form, created a Flame Cloud, and jumped into the air.
Nami teleported beside her, electric arcs swirling around her body. The terrifying electrical heat instantly turned the golden folding three-section staff into a giant gold coin.
"That move... Lady Nami and Lady Carina are going to use that combination technique again."
"Is it from this far away this time? Are they aiming for that big blue bird?"
"..."
Seeing Carina and Nami's stance, the Kuja warriors exclaimed one after another, looking at the two women with adoration and anticipation.
Not far away, the Donquixote Family also stared closely at Carina and Nami's movements, their expressions incredibly solemn.
As everyone knows, the top commanders under a Pirate Emperor are all first-rate powerhouses in the New World.
A combination technique unleashed by two first-rate powerhouses working together... even a Pirate Emperor wouldn't dare to underestimate it.
From the two women, whether it was the officers of the Donquixote Family or Doflamingo himself, they all felt a suffocating sense of death.
Feeling just as suffocated were the people of the world watching this scene through screens.
"Combination Technique! Super Railgun!"
Carina and Nami, whose tacit understanding was perfect, synchronized their voltage in just a few seconds.
As Nami threw the giant gold coin into the air, the two immediately assumed a stance, charging up a punch.
Then, their fists, wreathed in Armament Haki, smashed heavily onto the gold coin.
The terrifying voltage formed an astonishing plasma, turning into an invisible rail connecting to the just-anchored Moby Dick.
The giant gold coin immediately transformed into a massive orange beam of light, shooting violently towards the Moby Dick.
"Phoenix Thistle!"
Seeing the orange beam targeting the Moby Dick, containing astonishing destructive power and Haki, Marco, who happened to be next to the beam's path, immediately used his blue flames to create a circular shield, attempting to block the beam.
Unfortunately, Marco overestimated himself and underestimated the greeting Carina and Nami were giving the World's Strongest Man.
The orange beam was half the size of Marco himself.
Even if Kizaru's Lightspeed Kick was multiplied several times, it wouldn't be as massive as this orange beam.
So, just as it made contact, the orange beam blasted Marco away, continuing forward without pause.
In a few blinks of an eye, the orange beam was reflected in the eyes of everyone on the Moby Dick.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace's figure shot out, his fist wreathed in Armament Haki, punching out a giant pillar of fire with full force.
Unfortunately, like Marco, this pillar of fire, which was larger than the orange beam, was blasted apart by the orange beam upon contact. The beam continued towards Whitebeard, who stood at the bow of the ship.
Whitebeard seemed to have anticipated this. With a hum, his giant fist was enveloped by a transparent white aura.
Kacha!
As Whitebeard punched out, the atmosphere cracked.
The terrifying vibration power finally stopped the orange beam—which neither the 1st nor 2nd Division Commanders could stop, and which would have instantly destroyed the super-large sailing ship if it hit.
But in the next second, Whitebeard frowned slightly, as if he had foreseen something.
Then, instead of increasing his power to crush the orange beam, he changed its trajectory, sending it shooting into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
"..."
The pirates who witnessed Whitebeard showing weakness with their own eyes, and the people of the world who saw this scene thanks to Morgans turning the Visual Den Den Mushi in time, were all dumbfounded.
The world fell silent!
