G5's Final Battle

"Boom, boom, boom."

The cannons on the G5 warships kept belching fire serpents, initiating close-range bombardment against the approaching pirate fleet.

Although the cannons in the world of pirates lacked power and precision, even in long-range attacks, only one or two cannonballs occasionally hit their intended targets.

Most of the cannonballs landed on the sea surface or on either side of the ships, igniting streaks of fire.

However, in a close-quarters battle like this, the firepower of the cannons was terrifying.

With the cannons roaring, the previously advantageous pirates suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Even some powerful pirates, caught off guard, met their defeat.

"Brothers, charge! Kill all these pirates!"

"Ola-la-la, for revenge!"

"Let them see our power."

"Feel despair, pirates!"

"Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, blood debts must be repaid!"

The officers and soldiers on the G5 warships, both commanders and regulars, began to rush onto the pirate ships and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"Our teammates have occupied the enemy's decks, reducing the frequency of cannon fire, but do not stop the bombardment."

Although there were G5 marines on the pirate ships by now, the cannons on the warships kept spewing out cannonballs.

The exploding cannonballs hit their targets, claiming not only the bodies of pirates but also those of marines.

Unlike the scenes depicted in the anime, there were no tens of thousands of people fighting with only one or two casualties and everyone else unscathed.

The reality of warfare in the pirate world was that when marines clashed with pirates, people fell continuously, blood stained the decks, and even seeped into the cracks, dyeing the sea red.

This was the war in the pirate world—hell for the weak, playground for the strong.

"What a pitiful bunch of people! Perhaps death is the only relief for them."

The somber voice of Whitebeard resonated, causing Nicholas's lips to twitch.

Indeed, the G5 marines were more like creatures driven by their hatred for pirates than human beings. But for them, living was also living in hell, with every day tormenting them with thoughts of longing and regret for loved ones.

Sometimes, death was their only escape.

Just as Nicholas was about to say something, an unexpected incident occurred on the battlefield.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud explosion, a small mushroom cloud rose from the sea, engulfing three pirate ships and one G5 warship simultaneously.

"These guys are truly insane."

Watching the rising mushroom cloud, Whitebeard narrowed his eyes.

He had already guessed that the marines on the G5 warship, facing imminent annihilation by three pirate ships, chose to go down with the ship.

"Mokarock, it seems like the World Government is really going all out."

...

"Chay, Lieutenant Chaykov!"

Many G5 marines looked tearfully in the direction of the explosion.

"You guys, this is not the time to mourn in battle! Buck up!"

With this shout, a man dressed in the uniform of a vice admiral, gripping a long sword, intercepted a pirate captain's slashing attack. The cold blade, even with Armament Haki covering his palm, was sliced open, revealing white bones and crimson blood dripping onto the deck along the pirate's blade.

"For these scoundrels, we must kill them all!"

Another voice resounded as the marine vice admiral grabbed the broken blade, roaring fiercely. He then used Armament Haki to forcefully break it.

"Bang!"

The sword, crafted by a renowned swordsmith, was snapped in two by the marine vice admiral. Before the pirate could react, the vice admiral thrust the broken blade into his body, followed by a powerful kick to the pirate's abdomen, sending him flying into the sea.

Then, the marine vice admiral picked up the weapon that had fallen to the ground, pointing it forward.

It seemed like he was roaring not only at the pirates in front of him but also at Whitebeard and Nicholas, who were observing from afar.

"Marines! We are not cowards!!!"

At this moment, the battlefield echoed with a roar, intertwined with the rumble of thunder. It was truly awe-inspiring.

Despite being prepared, the world of pirates relied on fists, not readiness.

Unnoticed, the reinforcements from the G5 branch who had arrived were now dwindling.

The surviving marines on the G5 warship, or those who had already perished but held important positions, began to double up on their duties.

The speed of the warships increased dramatically.

Watching the Moby Dick ahead and the two figures standing on the deck, all the surviving crew members of the G5 warship revealed madness in their eyes, wide-eyed, gripping their long swords high, and shouting loudly.

"For revenge!!!"

"Ya-ya-ya, old White, let's get out of here. Those lunatics must have brought plenty of explosive rocks on their ship. If it explodes, we'll be fine, but your carefully crafted ship will be done for."

Hearing Nicholas's words, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed. For him, this ship was his home, and he would not allow anyone to harm his home.

Whitebeard clenched his right fist, bent his arm, and smashed it toward the direction of the G5 warship.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the sea where the G5 warship was located seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, causing the rapidly advancing ship to fall into the crevice of the sea. Moments later, the sea closed up, and the G5 warship that had launched a suicidal charge seemed to have never existed.

Boom!

Another violent explosion erupted from the depths of the sea, so intense that the massive explosion flames could even be seen through the sea surface.

A tremendous shockwave surged up from the seabed, causing the sea to swell like small mountains, followed by the bursting of the water mound, and the sky seemed to unleash a heavy rain.

Overhead, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashing. As the rain fell, the sky quickly soaked Whitebeard and Nicholas from head to toe.

Watching the fragments of ships gradually being swallowed by the sea and the G5 warship seemingly sailing towards the depths of the ocean, Nicholas smiled and then turned to enter the cabin.

Across generations, this vast sea before them had witnessed everything, remaining unchanged regardless of the replacement of the strong.
