Nearly a thousand Navy soldiers couldn't stop the Disaster Pirates' assault. The addition of three hundred Demon Race warriors just perfectly compensated for the death of one hundred and over two hundred wounded Pirates, drastically boosting combat effectiveness due to the inherent strength of the Demon Race.
The three hundred Demon Race warriors alone were enough to face the nearly thousand Navy soldiers, not to mention the presence of the officers.
Lily swung out a Flying Bird; the green bird-shaped air current spread its wings and slashed down ten or so Navy soldiers in front, breaking through and rushing towards a building at the edge of White Harbor, creating a gap in the rooftop.
This Soaring Slash, called 'Flying Bird,' isn't a horizontal or vertical slash like a blade. Although it is swung out, the slash wave is more like a thrust, with volume, and the entire bird shape is filled with the sharp edge of the slash.
The range isn't that large, but it is more concentrated.
Marika's black hair resembled a pitch-black serpent, stretching forward while the tips became sharp, emanating rays of light.
It's not Armament; she's just using Life Return to execute Finger Gun through her hair. All Navy soldiers in her vicinity were pierced by her hair and fell to the ground.
Renedia was simpler; wielding a Mechanical Hammer, she bombarded recklessly. The hammer she modified contains three special shells, small in size but more powerful than average shells, also hiding a batch of lead balls used as heavy firepower.
Most of the time, she uses force to trigger an Air Cannon, and when she's done enough damage, she swings the hammer for a direct smash.
Her physical strength is small, but the inertia brought by force makes the Mechanical Hammer extremely powerful.
Hawkins walked amidst the Navy soldiers, swinging his Long Sword and cutting down each one, not even caring if he was surrounded.
In terms of Swordsmanship, he might not surpass Lily, but compared to the Navy, he was stronger than ever.
Bam!
A Navy soldier seized the opportunity to shoot Hawkins from behind, hitting right at his chest, but just after pulling the trigger, the soldier suddenly froze. His chest hurt; he looked down and saw a bloody mark on his chest.
"It's your fate."
Hawkins raised his hand, dealt with a nearby Navy soldier with a sword strike, and didn't even glance at the fallen soldier behind him. A smoking Straw Doll emerged from his chest.
Upon joining the battle, he immediately activated his abilities. For enemies of this level, no matter how many, they were his substitutes. Though there were only ten slots, as long as there were enough enemies, until the last Navy soldier fell, he wouldn't be harmed.
The bounty of two hundred forty-nine million isn't just a joke.
Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, once their bounty breaks a hundred million, none of them are easy to handle.
He knows how to maximize gains and avoid losses, unwilling to fight enemies he's unsure of. However, those enemies he deems uncertain are rare.
His Ability Development level is not low; generally, people have no means to resist his abilities, no matter the number of enemies, it's all futile.
Gin, with his war clubs, moved continuously among the Navy soldiers, his Iron Hammer smashing several Navy soldiers flying, maintaining his speed during attacks. With a flash, he became an afterimage, ghost-like, overturning a large number of Navy soldiers wherever he went.
Bellamy jumped up and down among the Navy soldiers, utilizing the power of springs to shoot around. Every punch defeated a Navy soldier, the force causing the soldier to fly, crashing into other Navy soldiers.
"Tekkai!"
Pearl let blades and lead bullets hit him, grinning with teeth glinting in the sun, giving a thumbs-up that made the hair like a crescent moon on his forehead tremble.
"Although I don't have an Iron Shield, I'm still the handsome man, Pearl, with Absolute Defense. How's that? Aren't I experienced?"
"Woo! Woo woo!"
The mute Mute wielded the Great Tachi, with one slash taking down the Navy soldiers surrounding him. As the Navy soldiers behind charged in, their blade and gun attacks hit him, and he instinctively stiffened his body, with the attacks echoing a few sounds on him.
He had learned the technique of Tekkai.
In the Disaster Pirates, many enjoy pleasure and intend to rely on the pirates' name.
However, many also want to become stronger.
After all, it's a blood-licking endeavor. If you don't become strong, you get nothing to enjoy.
Sage likes his subordinates to become strong; the stronger they are, the more they can do. Under him, there are ways to become stronger.
Six Styles can systematically be used as a method to become strong. Mastering Six Styles entirely enhances the physique in all aspects.
This learning began in the East Sea, taught by Sage to Gin on the training methods, and Gin leads the training team.
However, it's volunteer-based; those willing to become strong follow the training, while those unwilling don't have to.
After all, this isn't something everyone can learn.
What?
Two hundred times the effort?
Don't make such weird jokes.
The newly joined subordinates from Demon Valley Town don't count, as their time is short. Even the most outstanding, Bellamy, hasn't learned the Six Styles.
From the East Sea batch, of those who voluntarily chose to train, only Mute learned 'Tekkai'.
The gigantic physique of three meters isn't just for show; his inherent quality is solid. After training for so long, learning one Style is normal.
The battle between the Pirates and Navy was one-sided. Before long, among the over a thousand Navy soldiers, those who fell did so, those who fled did so. It was then that the long-waiting Death Star surged into the harbor, with ferocious-faced Pirates jumping directly down, cutting through with their blades.
