The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant, and no one can predict it.
On the surging ocean, several warships were using signal equipment to monitor every move on Hachinosu Island.
The signal waves released by the Transponder Snail absorb nearby radio signals to the maximum extent, resonate at the same frequency with nearby Transponder Snails, and then achieve dialogue and monitoring.
The Vice Admiral, dressed in a Marine justice coat, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Kaido's newly established Beasts Pirates and John, the owner of Hachinosu Island, engaged in a major battle.
This was definitely the first time two forces of nearly ten thousand people had clashed since the God Valley Incident.
Various branch bases nearby received orders from headquarters and dispatched warships to stand by, ready to deal with any potential problems that might arise after this confrontation.
However, since just now, the monitoring equipment seemed to have simultaneously malfunctioned, producing various chaotic and fuzzy noises.
It was impossible to filter out useful information from the chaotic signals.
The sampan under his feet trembled slightly, and the Vice Admiral was surprised, quickly ran out of the monitoring equipment room, and went straight to the warship's deck, seeing everything happening at sea, his anxious expression suddenly changed, his pupils contracted inward, and his face was full of panic and fear!
He saw the sea churning and surging, rolling up black water dragons that hovered over the sea, and layers of towering waves like an enraged sea god, roaring furiously at the intruders who had trespassed into his territory!
Hachinosu Island, tens of nautical miles away, had already been reduced to ruins.
Collapsed buildings were visible everywhere, and burning flames were finally devouring the life of this island.
After the destruction and devastation by the Beasts Pirates, this island was already riddled with scars.
Kaido, who had returned to human form, looked at John, who only had half a body, with a complex expression.
They were a collection of evil, once working on Rocks' ship for their own purposes.
Survival of the fittest was their code of conduct, and also the most basic law of this world.
"The strong prey on the weak, John, this might be your destiny... You lost to me, which only proves that you are still too weak!"
Kaido covered his face, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Wald walked over quickly; using the Baisu Baisu no Mi was simply too satisfying, simple and brutal.
Just throwing a building could instantly turn into a mountain, crushing hundreds of enemy troops underneath.
The battle showed a one-sided trend.
Wald seemed very excited: "Hey, Kaido, did you see it just now? I threw such a large stone and it crushed a large group of people to death, and their screams and pleas for mercy are still ringing in my ears, haha, it was so exhilarating!"
Roya, Hiber, and Bullet also walked over, their faces involuntarily showing expressions of triumph.
This battle seemed to put them at a numerical disadvantage, but Wald's ability had an outstanding clearing effect, and most of the pirates were directly crushed by him.
Bullet gained a lot from this battle; he not only learned all of the Six Styles but also became more proficient in applying them to his killing techniques.
Bullet is highly talented and usually extremely strict with himself, determined to become Kaido's ultimate weapon, the kind of ultimate weapon that can resolve various battles as soon as he appears!
For this, he trained day and night, constantly sparring against stone mountains and iron gates, intending to train his iron fists to be indestructible.
He only stopped when he was exhausted, and his body's functions were overloaded.
"Boss Kaido, how do you plan to deal with these prisoners?"
Roya glanced at the nearly two thousand pirates behind him, squatting on the ground, tied with ropes because there weren't enough shackles and chains.
Kaido coldly glanced at the prisoners, who wisely bowed their heads and knelt, begging for mercy, expressing their willingness to pledge their loyalty to Kaido until death.
Kaido's lips curled slightly, and a playful glint flashed in his eyes: "I only take elites... but I am willing to give you all a chance, Roya!"
"Yes, Boss Kaido!" Roya immediately replied.
"Untie their ropes and let them fight each other, no matter what weapons or methods they use, until only five hundred people remain on the field... Remember, we only want 'elites'!"
Kaido's tone was chilling, and he glanced at those who were bowing their heads in thought, saying with a half-smile: "If anyone tries to escape, kill them directly."
"Understood!"
Roya nodded, looking playfully at some guys who wanted to play tricks in the chaos, and loudly ordered: "Untie their ropes."
With that, Roya threw in about ten knives and two guns, and his pirates stepped back, giving them enough space to maneuver.
The moment the ropes were untied, the prisoners immediately began to scramble for the weapons on the ground; those who were behind simply kicked down those in front and picked up stones to smash them on the head.
Those who picked up weapons immediately turned around and stabbed their former companions to death; those who didn't pick up weapons jumped onto their opponents' backs and bit off their ears.
Eye-gouging, groin-punching, ear and nose biting—the scene was a complete mess!
Half an hour later, the slaughter stopped; those still standing were covered in blood, their eyes filled with madness and obsession.
"Four hundred ninety-seven people are still standing... For those on the ground still gasping and groaning, send them on their way."
Roya made a throat-slitting gesture, and his subordinates, with strange smiles, held guns and sprayed Bullets at the corpses on the ground.
After incorporating the remaining into the team, they started with 2,400 people; excluding those who died in battle, plus the newly recruited pirates, there were approximately 2,700 people.
Hiber asked: "Boss Kaido, aren't you taking over Hachinosu Island?"
Kaido looked at Hiber with a smile: "Rebuilding such a desolate island would cost a lot of Berries, Hiber... Besides, it's too far from Winter Island, and with our current forces, it's not suitable to be stationed in multiple locations."
At this moment, Kaido saw Wald leading a team, carrying many bags, and asked: "Have all the treasures on the island been plundered?"
"All the treasures are here..."
Wald laughed heartily: "I never thought John would hide so many treasures."
Wald roughly estimated that if the gold and jewels were converted into Berries, it would be approximately 1.5 billion Berries!
Kaido happily patted Wald on the shoulder, indicating that he would hold a celebration feast for everyone when they returned.
After the treasures were loaded onto the ship, Kaido ordered the army to set sail for the return journey.
Binjack then rushed out of the ship's equipment room and suddenly said: "Monitoring signals have been detected nearby... It should be the nearby Marines."
At the same time, Kaido's Observation Haki also sensed dense presences nearby.
"Sure enough, they're troublesome mosquitoes... These guys really are persistent!"
Kaido, who had been looking forward to celebrating his victory with a drink, instantly lost his good mood and whispered to Wald: "You continue forward, I'll be right back!"
With that, Kaido pushed off with his legs, and the immense force caused the warship to suddenly sink nearly a meter; then Kaido leaped up, transforming into a several-hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon.
He let out a long roar, then, enveloped in flame clouds, rushed towards the left side of the warship.
