CHAPTER 104
Earl Jones held the golden Den Den Mushi in his hand, took a deep drag from the cigar in his mouth, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. Then he crushed the half-smoked cigar heavily against the windowsill in front of him and spoke with a dignified face:
"Carnero! Hit them hard!"
Hearing Earl Jones' command, Carnero instantly perked up, stood straight, and shouted:
"Yes! Captain!"
On a tall building in Lion King Island's port, Carnero was holding a monocular telescope observing the Rocks Pirates' movements. When he saw all of the Rocks Pirates ships had entered cannon range, he quickly spoke to the messenger beside him:
"Let the Rocks Pirates taste our firepower!"
With his words falling, the pirate standing behind him immediately raised the flag in his hand and waved it.
The gunners in the port, seeing the fire signal, immediately let out excited roars:
"Blast those pirate ships ahead!"
As fuses were lit one after another with torches, intense cannon fire soon rang out across the empty port.
Hearing the booming sounds from afar, the Rocks Pirates crew charging toward Lion King Island soon saw thousands of cannonballs smashing toward their ships.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, even though the Rocks Pirates had already cast aside life and death, they were still shaken by the opponent's display and trembled all over.
For a moment, they were stunned in place.
This also caused some chaos in the Rocks Pirates fleet.
Seeing this, the Lion King Pirates in the port curled their lips, showing mocking expressions.
Vilin was somewhat speechless at the performance of these Rocks pirates. He immediately roared:
"What are you panicking for!" "Keep moving forward!"
Seeing the enemy cannonballs about to fall on their fleet, Vilin instantly activated his Devil Fruit ability.
Thousand True Hands – Forest Giant Soldier!
As Vilin's body rapidly grew, a towering wooden giant rose from the ground.
His back carried a massive ring, like an ancient deity.
Looking at the cannonballs falling from the sky, Vilin showed a disdainful expression.
From the huge ring on his back, countless sky-reaching giant hands instantly extended and slapped toward the dense falling cannonballs.
A shocking scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
As Vilin's palms continuously swung, the cannonballs originally falling toward the Rocks Pirates were quickly slapped back.
Seeing the cannonballs flying back from the sky, all the pirates who had previously mocked Vilin were instantly dumbfounded.
Terrified expressions appeared on their faces.
"Run!" "The cannonballs are coming back!"
With one pirate's roar echoing through the port, the pirates who had been frozen instantly snapped awake.
They immediately dove behind cover, nervously waiting for the cannonballs to fall.
Under everyone's tense anticipation, the cannonballs slapped back by Vilin quickly smashed down.
Some unlucky pirates were instantly smashed into pulp by the falling shells.
Even some port buildings were reduced to ruins under the bombardment.
Lion King Castle top floor, Earl Jones, who was closely watching the battle, saw Vilin's move and the thick cigar in his mouth accidentally fell to the floor.
He opened his mouth, speechless.
Seeing his father somewhat dazed, Lucas quickly reminded him.
Soon Earl Jones came back to his senses and looked toward his three executives beside him.
Seeing his executives all with grave expressions, he rolled his eyes, and a kingly aura instantly emanated from his body, enveloping them all.
Under Earl Jones' reassurance, these executives gradually became excited, and the fear in their eyes completely disappeared.
Looking at his subordinates now in a hot-blooded state, Earl Jones showed a satisfied expression, the corner of his mouth faintly curling into a strange arc.
"Executives!" "The Rocks Pirates are about to land on the island!" "We must let them know the power of our Lion King Pirates!" "I will fight side by side with you!" "Lead you to ultimate victory!"
Aynes, standing beside Earl Jones, saw Sabera and Guillaume's eyes turn blood-red. A trace of wariness flashed in his own eyes. Just now, even he had almost been affected by the opponent's ability.
"What a terrifying ability!"
Although he was immune to the opponent's Devil Fruit ability, he still pretended to be affected and shouted together with all the executives:
"Wipe out the Rocks Pirates!" "Long live the Lion King Pirates!"
With everyone's emotions fully roused, Earl Jones led his executives and children out of Lion King Castle toward the front line.
On the Rocks main fleet, at this moment, all the crew looked with admiration at the towering majestic figure ahead, and excited laughter burst from their mouths.
"Wahahahaha!" "He blocked them!" "Long live the Rocks Pirates!" "Long live Captain Rocks!" "Long live Captain Vilin!"
With Vilin slapping back most of the cannonballs, only sparse cannonballs now fell into the sea, splashing water pillars.
Seeing Vilin block the enemy's attack, the Rocks Pirates' morale instantly soared.
Seeing this, Rocks also let out carefree laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" "Thanks to you, Vilin!" "I'll remember your contribution." "After the battle ends," "you can pick first — any treasure, whether Devil Fruit or wealth." "Hahahahaha!"
Hearing Rocks' laughter, all the Rocks Pirates present looked at Vilin with envy.
Seeing Rocks being so generous, they all began cheering his name.
Rocks saw this and let out bold laughter.
"Little ones, charge!" "The one who cuts off Earl Jones' head first, "I allow him to pick second among the treasures."
With Rocks' words falling, the entire Rocks Pirates crew completely boiled over.
They excitedly drove their ships, charging toward Lion King Island.
"Charge!" "Cut off Earl Jones' dog head!" "Long live Captain Rocks!"
Vilin standing behind Rocks, seeing this scene, couldn't help admiring Rocks' methods.
No wonder Rocks had such high prestige in the pirate crew — it was inseparable from his personality.
