Naval Battle Crushing, One Round Of Bombardment Instantly Kills! (4/5)

After the super warship left Dressrosa, it had been drifting at sea for more than two weeks, cutting across the deep blue waters of the New World. Finn stood on the back deck, watching over a hundred female soldiers dancing in perfect unison under the guidance of Violet. The sight was mesmerizing, a captivating rhythm of elegance and grace. Finn understood now why ancient emperors would fall prey to decadence, entranced by beauty and entertainment. In those times, without the distractions of modern life, dancing and singing must have been the height of pleasure.

But Finn's reverie was interrupted by a voice crackling through the radio.

"Master! A pirate ship has been spotted ahead!" Nami's voice carried urgency.

Finn raised an eyebrow, intrigued. He signaled to Violet to continue overseeing the soldiers and slowly made his way to the front deck. Nami, already at the rail, rushed to meet him, clinging to his arm and pointing forward.

"Look!" she exclaimed, eyes wide.

Finn peered out at the horizon. The sea sparkled under the sun, flocks of seabirds gliding low over the waves. But what truly caught his attention were the pirate ships — over a dozen of them, surrounding the super warship from all sides.

Activating his telescopic vision, Finn zoomed in on the fleet. His gaze locked onto the flag flying from the mast of each ship. A skull with lipstick, a fluffy collar, and a wave—there was no mistaking it. The Big Mom Pirates.

And leading them was none other than Charlotte Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte family, recognizable by his towering frame and a hat decked with colorful lollipops.

"Master! They've entered Big Mom's territory!" Perospero's voice echoed through the candy-coated loudspeakers of his ship, thick with condescension. "Reveal your identity and surrender, or face destruction!"

Finn smirked, admiring the audacity. It was almost comical how Perospero mimicked the way the Marines issued commands to pirates. He was about to respond when Robin's familiar voice interrupted from behind, soft and playful.

"Need me to handle this?" Robin asked, her hands gently resting on his shoulders. "Thanks to your training, my Armament Haki has improved tremendously," she added with a mischievous grin.

Finn chuckled, patting her hand. "You're a capable fighter, Robin, but a battle on the sea isn't the place for a Devil Fruit user. Besides, this is a perfect opportunity to test my new battleship."

He turned his attention back to the massive warship, now surrounded by pirates. It had never been used in a real naval battle. This was the moment to showcase its true power.

With a sharp command, Finn contacted the ship's central control. "Hina, you're in charge. Prepare the starboard cannons and target the pirate fleet. Let's give them a demonstration."

"Yes, sir!" Hina's voice came back, calm and professional, though Finn could hear the eagerness behind it.

The warship adjusted its course, pivoting its massive hull so the starboard side faced the approaching pirate ships. Hina coordinated the crew with military precision. "Team one, ready! Team two, ready! All teams, fire!"

The sky lit up with the barrage of cannon fire. The super battleship's artillery roared, its guns spitting out shells with the rapid fire of a Gatling gun. The sea erupted as cannonballs rained down on the pirate fleet.

"What's that?!" a pirate screamed from the deck of Perospero's ship. "Are those cannonballs?!"

Before he could finish, a shell struck the deck, carving a massive hole. For a moment, the pirates hesitated, thinking it was just a solid shot. But before they could react, the shell exploded, ripping the ship apart. Pirates screamed as debris and fire filled the sky.

Perospero watched in disbelief as ship after ship was obliterated. His fleet's own cannons seemed like toys in comparison, their shots laughably small next to the massive shells of Finn's warship.

"Retreat!" a pirate yelled, panic spreading through the crew.

But it was too late. The super warship's cannons unleashed a second volley. More explosions tore through the pirate fleet, the sea boiling with fire and wreckage. In moments, the once-formidable fleet was reduced to splinters, sinking into the depths of the sea.

Hina, watching from the control center, hesitated as the smoke cleared. She had been about to give the order for a second round of fire, but now...there was no need.

"Is this...the power of the young master's battleship?" she whispered in awe, staring out at the now-empty sea. Not a single pirate ship remained.
