Scope Island, as an island, is not very large, surrounded by beaches covering one-third of its area, a typical landing point.
In the center of the island is a town, with several villages situated nearby, which is the full view of the island.
As for specialties...
At the junction between the beach and the jungle, Urouge, wrapped in an immense bandage, sits on a large stone, pulling apart a lobster whose claws resemble scissors, and its tail is extremely long like a scorpion's.
"This is really..."
Urouge laughed oddly, saying, "Did it really cause such a big commotion? Earlier, I was still delighted over defeating Snack, but now it's getting a bit dangerous."
He brought over three hundred people to tackle such an island, which was definitely enough. Although a battle erupted with Snack, causing only so few people to survive, at least they won.
He also got to see the [Four Emperors] as he wished.
But it was not quite as he imagined.
This time... all the Four Emperors made a move!
"Monastic Preceptor, will the Captain win?" A pirate dressed as a Holy Professional asked.
Most of the subordinates Urouge brought were his former crew, composed of Holy Professionals.
Besides him being a 'Monk,' there were priests, monks, shaman priests mixed together, but this battle lost quite a few.
"You won't know such things without fighting."
Urouge thought for a moment and said, "Sage isn't that easy to defeat."
Although they are contemporaries, the extent of that guy's strength is more similar to a powerful pirate who has ventured into the New World.
The matter of initiating a battle was informed once he phoned back to report.
Like others, Urouge was also considering Sage, but after finally making a decision, he wasn't afraid anymore.
If you're afraid of dying, don't become a pirate. Even if not joining the Disaster Pirates, his initial purpose of entering the New World was to defeat a Four Emperor, to prove himself.
He certainly can still participate in the battle, dealing with Snack did not really bring him to the point of severe injury.
Since the Captain had given an order, being a subordinate was simply about getting things done.
"If we can win, Sage's position will be solid."
Urouge chuckled strangely, "By then, Disaster Pirates will become Four Emperors faster."
"Monastic Preceptor!"
Just as he said so, a subordinate stammered, "Here, they've arrived!"
He was holding a telescope, looking at the sea, and his entire body was trembling.
Urouge was stunned, glanced in his direction, and faintly saw the outline of a large fleet on the sea.
The sky suddenly turned dark at this moment.
He took the telescope, carefully looking.
It was a cluster of pirate ships, most resembling cakes and tarts, divided into two layers, adorned with cream and fruits on top, and bearing the Big Mom Pirates' insignia on the pink sail above.
Among them were a few different ship styles.
There was a ship using a yellow ball and purple-haired figurehead, and one shaped like a chestnut cake, with a flaming red-haired lion emblem as the figurehead.
Leading the fleet was a massive ship laden with sweets and cookies, resembling a cake topped with numerous desserts.
The figurehead of this ship was a crowned, tilting laughing face, while the enormous sail displayed a red-lip spoon-shaped skull.
Big Mom!
On the sea, they are called the Hymn Queen, officially the Queen Mother's Hymn!
Since the fleet appeared, the originally sunny sky has become layered with darkness, gradually saturating as the fleet approached.
But the sky was not unique to this side.
At three o'clock direction of the darkened sky, a cloud suddenly gathered, moving towards the fleet here with Big Mom.
"Hmm... they have all arrived."
Urouge moved the telescope over, seeing very familiar ships...
Boom!
Thunder roared in the cloudy sky, illuminating the darkened space with light.
This light also illuminated the figures who had arrived on the deck, observing the front through telescopes.
Lily held a telescope, looking at the fleet outline approaching Scorp Island diagonally opposite, involuntarily pursing her lips.
Even from this distance, she could hear the distant song.
It wasn't the opposite singing, but rather that ship belonging to Big Mom, whose figurehead seemed alive, singing along with the sweets and cookies at the deck's front!
Seeing a singing ship on the sea was not less frightening than a ghost ship in a storm, perhaps even scarier.
Marika was also observing with a telescope, expressing surprise, "Ah, is that Big Mom's flagship? The singing is quite lovely."
"After all, it's the [Four Emperors]..."
Lily remarked, examining carefully, not seeing Big Mom's figure on the ship, but spotting a long-nosed character, who was also using a telescope to observe.
It was clear, he was also looking over here.
And...
"Hmm?"
Lily frowned slightly, looking at the figure seemingly aware of the observation here, though not using a telescope, eyes glancing over, half face covered with a scarf.
"Katakuri..."
...
"Kukukukuku, they've arrived! I see them!"
On the Hymn Queen, Perospero sprawled with a long tongue, saying:
"The 'Sword Princess' Bienta Lily, one of note in the Disaster Pirates, also the deputy to the Disaster, she manages the Disaster's territory, appears to be a shrewd and capable woman, bounty 730 million Belly."
Pirates, without fighting, who knows who is stronger, even acknowledged strength still is tested by those daring to try.
Hence, most are ranked by bounty.
For them, the Navy bounties are more of an honor.
The higher the bounty, the more dangerous one appears.
730 million is no small amount.
"And the 'Wet Crow' Marika, and 'Blast Hammer' Renedia, intel suggests these three are the core of Disaster, the soul figures maintaining the pirate crew. If we take them down later, wonder what's Disaster's expression."
Saying so, he moved the telescope to the Death Star's stern.
"'Magician' Basil Hawkins, possessing an ability to substitute death, tough to deal with, but his ability can't act unless moved."
"Still, that guy..."
The telescope, moved to the right's mini Thriller Bark.
"Moriah! Kukukuku, even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea were to surrender, they would choose Mama, not opting for a newcomer. Hey, Katakuri, he'll be yours later."
Perospero laughed, "The rest are trivial, such a small number can't possibly challenge Mama!"
Katakuri watched forward, from his view could only see faint outlines from afar, yet even such outlines were enough for his perception.
Katakuri stared at the increasingly enlarged fleet outline, speaking slowly:
"I sense no murderous intent from Moriah towards me, but there's an extremely sharp aura, likely Bienta Lily... interesting, ready to challenge me? They have arrived!"
He suddenly paused, eyes contracting again, frowning.
"Sage, they're changing direction, heading our way!"
On the Death Star, Sage walked from the captain's quarters, hearing Lily's words.
Standing on the balcony, his lips curled upward: "Oh? Not only not approaching the island, but heading towards me? Head over! Renedia, prepare the main cannon..."
He stretched himself, reaching out: "Let's greet them first!"
