The Arrival Of Admirals

 Chapter 61: The Arrival Of Admirals 

---

The auction house had transformed into a warzone. Dust and debris filled the air as the Silver Hair Pirates and the Beast Pirates clashed with relentless fury. Arthur's blade met Rorok's horns again and again, each strike sending shockwaves through the room. 

Rorok, now fully transformed into his rhinoceros form, charged at Arthur, who deftly sidestepped and delivered a powerful counterstrike, slicing through Rorok's armor-like hide with his Haki-infused sword.

Meanwhile, Hiroshi was locked in a fierce duel with Kaida. Kaida's saber-toothed form was fast and brutal, but Hiroshi's mastery of the two-sword style allowed him to parry and counter with deadly precision. Their blades clanged together, each one trying to find an opening.

Lisa and Surv were back-to-back, fending off multiple Beast Pirates. Lisa's daggers, glinting with Armament Haki, flew through the air, striking down enemies with pinpoint accuracy. Surv, using her kitchen knives, moved with surprising agility and strength, her cooking skills translating into lethal combat prowess.

Rus, in his Garuda form, soared above, unleashing powerful gusts of wind that knocked down enemies. His Cyclone Talon and Tempest Wing attacks wreaked havoc, sending pirates sprawling.

Alex and Rio were an unstoppable team. Alex's sharpshooting skills were unmatched, his Observation Haki allowing him to predict enemy movements. He fired bullet after bullet, each one finding its mark. Rio, with his sniper skills, provided cover from a distance, picking off high-value targets with ease.

The teamwork and coordination of the Silver Hair Pirates were evident. They had trained rigorously, and their hard work paid off as they systematically dismantled the Beast Pirates' ranks.

Arthur, sensing the need to end the battle quickly, unleashed his full power. His advanced Armament Haki coated his blade in a dark sheen, and he charged at Rorok with renewed vigor. "Ryu Tsunami Slash!" he shouted, his sword emitting a wave of force that sliced through Rorok's defenses, sending him crashing to the ground.

As the Beast Pirates began to falter, a new threat emerged. The Navy soldiers had arrived, their presence announced by the sound of marching boots and the clinking of weapons. The Marines wasted no time, immediately engaging both pirate crews.

Arthur and his crew found themselves surrounded. "We need to break through their lines!" Arthur commanded.

Lisa and Surv led the charge, their combined Haki-infused attacks cutting a path through the Navy soldiers. Hiroshi and Alex followed, their swords and bullets striking with deadly precision.

The Marines were disciplined and well-trained, but they were no match for the seasoned Silver Hair Pirates. Arthur's Conqueror's Haki pulsed through the battlefield, stunning the weaker soldiers and giving his crew the upper hand.

Just as the Silver Hair Pirates began to gain the upper hand, the atmosphere shifted. A palpable tension filled the air as two towering figures approached. Admiral Akainu and Admiral Kizaru had arrived, their presence alone enough to strike fear into the hearts of the bravest men.

Akainu's face was a mask of fury as he surveyed the chaos. "Pirates, you will pay for your insolence!" he roared, his fists transforming into molten magma.

Kizaru, ever the laid-back but deadly presence, adjusted his sunglasses. "Well, well, looks like we've got quite the party here," he said, his body beginning to glow with the power of the Pika Pika no Mi.

The Admirals wasted no time in attacking. Akainu launched a devastating magma fist towards Arthur, who barely managed to deflect it with his Haki-infused sword. The heat was intense, melting the ground where the magma landed.

Kizaru, moving at the speed of light, targeted Alex and Rio. Alex, using his advanced Observation Haki, was just able to keep up with Kizaru's movements, dodging beams of light that could have easily ended him. Rio provided cover fire, but Kizaru's light speed reflexes made him a nearly untouchable target.

Arthur faced Akainu head-on, their battle a clash of titanic forces. Each strike of Akainu's magma fists was met with Arthur's Haki-infused blade. "You've got power, Admiral, but you lack finesse," Arthur taunted, dodging a particularly lethal punch.

Akainu's fury only grew. "I'll show you power!" he bellowed, unleashing a barrage of molten punches that lit up the battlefield.

Hiroshi and Lisa found themselves facing Kizaru. Hiroshi's dual blades moved like a whirlwind, trying to land a blow on the light-speed Admiral. Lisa, with her agility and precision, tried to create openings, but Kizaru's beams of light kept them on the defensive.

"Yasakani no Magatama!" Kizaru declared, sending a flurry of light arrows towards them. Hiroshi deflected as many as he could, but the sheer volume forced them to retreat.

As the battle raged on, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Benn Beckman, the Vice-Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. Known for his strategic mind and unparalleled marksmanship, Beckman's presence added a new layer of complexity to the battle.

"Looks like you could use a hand," Beckman said, calmly aiming his rifle at Akainu. He fired a shot that struck the ground at Akainu's feet, causing the Admiral to momentarily pause.

Arthur nodded in acknowledgment. "Glad to have you, Beckman. Let's take these Admirals down."

With Beckman's support, the Silver Hair Pirates found renewed strength. Beckman's strategic shots disrupted the Admirals' attacks, giving Arthur and his crew the openings they needed.

Just as the tide seemed to be turning in favor of the Silver Hair Pirates, another powerful presence made itself known. Silvers Rayleigh, the Dark King and former Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates, stepped onto the battlefield.

Rayleigh's arrival was met with awe and respect from all sides. "It's been a while since I've had to step in," Rayleigh said, his voice calm but commanding. He turned to Arthur. "I see you've been causing quite the stir."

Arthur nodded, grateful for the legendary pirate's support. "We could use your help, Rayleigh."

Rayleigh smiled. "Let's give these Admirals a run for their money."

With Rayleigh joining the fray, the balance of power shifted dramatically. His mastery of Haki and swordsmanship was unparalleled, and he quickly engaged Kizaru, their blades clashing in a dazzling display of light and skill.

Meanwhile, Beckman and Arthur focused on Akainu, their combined strength pushing the magma Admiral to his limits.

The battlefield was a whirlwind of chaos and power, each faction giving their all. The Silver Hair Pirates, with the support of Beckman and Rayleigh, fought valiantly against the overwhelming might of the Admirals.

As the battle reached its peak, the Navy soldiers began to falter, realizing that even with the Admirals, they were facing an extraordinary force. The Silver Hair Pirates, along with their newfound allies, stood firm, ready to face whatever came next.
