The sail... was torn...
When did this happen!?
How can this be!!
...
On the Oro Jackson, the members of the Roger Pirates looked at the sail slowly hanging on the deck in front of them with pale faces. Looking at the golden wave-bearded skull pattern cut from the center on the sail, they felt a wave of biting chill run through their hearts.
Unlike naval warships with power systems, the vast majority of pirate ships on this sea are sailing ships without power engines. Sailboats mainly rely on sails to sail with the help of the wind and depend on oars, etc. as means of propulsion, berthing, and sailing when there is no wind.
Once the mast or sail is destroyed, the ship will directly lose the power to sail. This is why, in most naval battles, masts and sails are always the first targets protected by the crew.
But now, their sail was cut open by a dagger that came out of nowhere!
This is unbelievable!
My dagger!?
At this moment, Bucky suddenly screamed and pointed at the dagger with trembling fingers.
How did you get there!?
Everyone was stunned.
They had just faced the exaggerated pressure of the storm, with countless baggage flying around. In the chaotic situation where the pirate ship was almost falling apart, no one among them would have noticed a dagger floating up in the chaos!
They stared at the dagger that was suspended in mid-air and bowed gently towards them, mockingly.
Why did the dagger move on its own?
Did someone infiltrate our pirate ship?
No, my Sensei Haki didn't sense an enemy at all!
The members of the Roger Pirates quickly calmed down and looked solemn.
Rayleigh, what do you think? Roger's expression was equally unimpressive.
Rayleigh frowned.
Cannonballs continued to explode on the surrounding sea, with fire rising and thick smoke billowing.
Behind him, Garp's ship was getting closer and closer, less than a hundred meters away.
At this time, a sudden change occurred!
The dagger hovering in mid-air suddenly trembled violently under the influence of some strange force field.
It's moving!!
This is...
Whoosh!!
The dagger whizzed out, turning into a silver-white trajectory in the air. The sudden increase in speed made a low explosion sound appear in the air.
The target... turned out to be an inconspicuous figure.
——The red-haired kid wearing a straw hat!!
Shanks!!
Careful!!
Clang!!
A deafening buzzing sound exploded, and the strong wind suddenly drowned Shanks' figure.
He stood there in a daze, his feet becoming weak, as if he had lost control of his movements. His face was pale, and he could not react at all to what had happened.
A long sword lay in front of his eyes, and the blade blocked the dagger that was about to penetrate between his eyebrows.
Vice-Captain Rayleigh...
Shanks swallowed with a groan, feeling his throat extremely dry.
Rayleigh, who was holding the sword in one hand, narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
Shanks, take Bucky and retreat. Protect yourselves.
After saying this, he slowly raised his head, his deep eyes gradually narrowing, and his eyes were filled with anger when he looked at the slowly approaching warship.
The dagger, with its tail constantly trembling and shaking, suddenly shot backward, drew a straight line, and fell into the hands of the Commodore.
What a nice trophy.
Darren weighed the dagger, which was inlaid with rubies and sparkled with cold light, and smiled.
He glanced at the red-haired kid.
Shanks, who was retreating, seemed to feel something. He raised his head and met those eyes and was shocked all over.
Indifferent, cold, and unruly eyes,
The cold and threatening feeling of death just now flooded into his heart again. Even under the protection of his companions, he felt that the surroundings were full of extreme dangers, and his body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
It was as if in front of this man, his life could be easily taken away at any time.
Sure enough, it's not that easy...
Darren withdrew his gaze and laughed a little.
Taking action against Shanks, the future Yonko, was barely a test.
After all, if you leave this brat alone and allow him to grow, he will be a big trouble in the future.
Of course, Darren didn't have high hopes either.
It was one thing to quietly cut off the sails with a few hands and feet, under the cover of the chaos caused by the storm and Dragon.
The difficulty of killing Shanks, the favorite of the Roger Pirates, was another matter.
I see...you were the one who cut off the sails.
Rayleigh lowered his long sword and stared at Darren with stern eyes.
It's just that...the world-famous 'King of the North Sea,' the Navy Supernova who killed the 'World Destroyer' Waldo, only has the courage to attack children?
Roger also held the sword in one hand, with black and red lightning dancing around the blade, and stared at Darren.
He would never forgive anyone who dares to hurt his friends!!
As their eyes fell, Darren seemed to feel a terrible sense of oppression as the sky collapsed and the earth tore apart.
In his biomagnetic field perception, the intensity of the biomagnetic field energy emitted by these two guys was simply something Darren had never seen before in his life.
It felt like two monstrous black shadows were slowly opening their eyes from the dark and strange sea, and their blood-red pupils were locked on him.
As Rayleigh's deep voice fell, all the pirates on the Oral Jackson stared at Darren with angry faces.
A stream of actual murderous intent emanated from every member of the Roger Pirates.
The strong winds and waves on the sea gradually became calmer, as if shocked by the oppressive atmosphere.
Capacity? Of course, I have that kind of thing.
A ferocious sneer curled up at the corner of Darren's lips.
It's just that pirates don't deserve it.
As for attacking children... your Captain Roger didn't think about this when he massacred an entire country's army for an insulted crew member.
As soon as he finished speaking, angry rebuttals came flooding in.
You fart!!
Captain Roger would never touch a child!!
Damn Navy!!
...
Pairs of hostile eyes stared at the Commodore like nails, with murderous intent surging through him.
Dragon took a step forward and stood beside Darren, sharing the pressure with him.
Seeing his actions, the navy officers such as Gion and Kake behind him suddenly took a step forward and drew their sabers from their waists.
The sound of sabers being unsheathed made a hoarse sound, and both sides were at an impasse.
Well, I made a mistake.
Darren raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, staring at the Roger Pirates with a teasing smile.
You did not do anything to the children.
He crossed his fingers.
Countless bullets and gun barrels on the warship deck behind them trembled slowly, then floated up, densely packed and hovering in mid-air.
But you massacred their fathers, who were in the military.
This is better than killing them directly...
Darren smiled cruelly and sarcastically.
More cruel!
