he ramen shop door.Smiling, he took a step forward.Then...He slammed the added brain of the calculator into the ground!BOOM!!!The ground within a 20-meter radius shook violently, and a shockingly lar..."The sails...were torn..."

"What happened!"

"This can't be possible!!"

"...".

On the deck of the Oro Jackson, members of Roger's pirate crew watched with pale faces as the sails slowly lowered onto the deck. Their gaze fell on the golden wave-beard skull emblem in the center, now brutally severed. A bone-chilling cold gripped their hearts.

Unlike warships equipped with propulsion systems, the vast majority of pirate ships on this sea are sailing vessels without engines.

A sailboat primarily relies on sails to harness wind power for navigation. It uses oars or paddles as propulsion in calm conditions and for maneuvering when docking or setting sail.

Once a ship's mast or sails are destroyed, the vessel will lose its power to sail directly. That is why, in the vast majority of naval battles, the mast and sails are always the first targets that sailors guard.

Now, their sails have been slashed by a dagger that appeared out of nowhere!

This is simply unbelievable!

"My dagger!"

At that moment, Bucky suddenly cried out in alarm, his trembling finger pointing at the dagger.

"How did you get there!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Just now facing the exaggerated pressure of the storm, countless supplies were flying about, and in the chaotic situation where the pirate ship was almost disintegrating, no one would notice a dagger floating up amidst the chaos!

They stared at the blade suspended in mid-air, bowing to them with a mockingly light gesture.

"Why did the dagger move on its own"

"Could someone have snuck onto our pirate ship"

"No, my Kenbunshoku Haki didn't detect any enemies at all!"

The members of the Roger Pirates quickly calmed down, their faces turning serious.

"Reli, what do you think" Roger's expression wasn't much better either.

Reilly frowned.

The shells continued to explode on the surface of the water, sending plumes of fire and smoke billowing into the air.

Kapu's flagship is getting closer, less than a hundred meters away.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The dagger suspended in mid-air suddenly trembled violently under the influence of some kind of strange force field.

"It moved!!"

"This is..."

Whoosh!!

The dagger whistled through the air, leaving a trail of silver-white in its wake. Its speed was so great that it even caused a low, rumbling sound in the air.

The target... turned out to be an inconspicuous figure.

That red-headed little imp wearing a straw hat!

"Shanks!!"

"

Beware!

"

Dang!!

A deafening roar exploded, and a furious wind swept Captain Shanks away.

He stood there blankly, his legs trembling as if they no longer obeyed him. His face was pale and he couldn't process what had just happened.

A long sword lay across his path, its blade firmly blocking the dagger poised to pierce his brow.

"Mr. Reilly, the First Mate..."

Shanks swallowed hard, his throat feeling as dry as a desert.

Rayleigh, holding a single knife, narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Shanks, you and Buggy retreat. Protect yourselves."

After finishing his sentence, he slowly raised his head. His deep eyes gradually narrowed, and as he looked at the battleship approaching leisurely, anger flickered in his gaze.

The hilt trembled violently, then the dagger suddenly flew back, slicing a straight line through the air and landing in the hand of the naval rear admiral.

"What a great loot."

Darren weighed the ruby-encrusted, gleaming dagger in his hand and smiled.

He glanced at the little redhead.

Shanks, who was retreating backward, seemed to sense something. He raised his head and met those eyes, sending a shiver down his spine.

A look of indifference, coldness, and defiance.

The chill of death and the sense of threat returned, washing over him like a wave. Even with his companions around him, he felt an overwhelming sense of danger, as if he were plunged into an icy tomb.

It felt as if, before this man, my life could be taken away from me at any moment with the utmost ease.

"As expected, this isn't going to be easy..."

Darren withdrew his gaze, chuckling wryly.

Attacking Shanks, a future emperor, is arguably just a test.

After all, if we just leave this little devil alone and let him grow up, he could become a big problem in the future.

Of course, Darren wasn't holding out too much hope.

In the midst of the storm's chaos and Dorag's cover, quietly cutting the sails was another matter.

To kill Shanks, the beloved member of the Roger Pirates, would be a whole different ball game.

"I see… So it was you who cut the ship's sails."

Reilly lowered his long sword, his eyes narrowed dangerously at Darren.

"But… the world-famous 'King of the North Sea,' the supernova who took down the 'World Destroyer' Bondi Waldo, only has the guts to attack children"

Roger also held a sword in one hand, the blade surrounded by flickering black and red lightning, staring intently at Darren.

Anyone who dares to harm his companions, he will never forgive!

As their gazes met, Darren felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. A terrifying sense of pressure washed over him.

In his biomagnetic sense, the energy emanating from these two creatures was simply unlike anything Darren had ever experienced in his life.

That feeling was like two massive, swirling shadows slowly opening their blood-red eyes from the depths of a dark and eerie sea, fixing their gaze on you.

As Reilly's voice trailed off, all the pirates on the Oro Jackson were glaring daggers at Darren with fury etched across their faces.

A wave of palpable killing intent emanated from every member of the Roger Pirates.

The raging winds and waves on the sea gradually calmed, as if subdued by this oppressive atmosphere.

"Pride Of course I have plenty of that."

A cruel smile curled up on Darren's lips.

"Only pirates are not worthy."

As for hurting children… Your Roger the Pirate King slaughtered an entire national army when one of his crew members was insulted. He didn’t consider these things then, did he

As soon as the words left his mouth, a wave of angry retorts crashed down.

"You farted!!"

Captain Roger would never lay a hand on a child!!

Damn the Navy!!

“...”

A pair of hostile eyes stared at the naval rear admiral like nails, and murderous intent surged.

Dora stepped forward, standing beside Darren to share the pressure.

Seeing his actions, the naval forces behind him, such as Gen'yo and Kageki, also suddenly took a step forward, each drawing their swords from their waists.

The sound of the military knife's unsheath was a hoarse whisper, and both sides were on edge.

"Well, I was wrong."

Darren raised his hands in surrender, a smirk playing on his lips as he stared at the members of Roger's pirate crew.

You really didn't lay a hand on the children.

He twitched his fingers.

Behind the battleship, countless bullets and cannon barrels on the deck trembled slowly, then rose, suspended densely in mid-air.

But you slaughtered their fathers who served in the army.

This is even worse than just killing them...

Darren sneered, with a touch of biting sarcasm.

"Even more cruel!"
