Chapter 179: The Pterosaur Brothers

"Bang!!"

On the flagship of the Navy's elite fleet, G-11 Base Commander and Navy Vice Admiral Chekarl was finally overpowered by "Sloth Sin" Belial, one of the "queen-level" elite Homies.

The black spear in Belial's hands struck with overwhelming force, sending Chekarl flying backward. He coughed up blood as his body slammed into the ship's stern, shattering the deck beneath him.

Splinters and debris scattered in all directions.

"Swish…"

Just as the groaning Vice Admiral struggled to rise, ignoring the searing pain coursing through his body, a massive hand shrouded in blackened Conqueror's Haki reached down mercilessly.

A cold and ominous voice demanded:

"Life or death?"

Looking up at the towering figure—wearing a shinigami's mask and exuding the aura of a messenger from hell—Chekarl's pupils dilated in sheer terror.

"Aaaahhh—"

With a gut-wrenching scream, the soul of the distinguished Navy Vice Admiral was ruthlessly extracted from his body.

Surveying the battlefield, Gerd grinned as she coldly evaluated the situation:

"One Vice Admiral, two to three thousand Navy souls, and ten or so warships. Not bad at all!"

Around her, Angel Homies worked methodically to clean up the aftermath of the battle. They began hauling the bodies of fallen sailors and tossing them into the ocean.

Meanwhile, on the Fallen Angels' side, their fleet drew closer to consolidate the captured ships. Crew members scurried about, salvaging and towing undamaged Navy vessels.

...

On another battlefield near Komugi Island, the Navy fleet, already at a disadvantage, had begun retreating upon learning of the reinforcements.

Panic spread among the sailors.

"Pull back immediately! Avoid further losses!"

"Damn it! What are these cursed munitions?!"

"We've already lost half our ships to their bombardments!"

Amid the chaos, distant shadows in the sky caught the sailors' attention.

"Wait… what is that?"

"Screeech! Screeech!"

Two colossal ancient pterosaurs emerged, their terrifying size and speed inducing dread in the hearts of the retreating Navy.

Their wings created gale-force winds, sending massive waves crashing against the sea's surface.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The wind pressure was so immense that many sailors lost their balance. Some were flung through the air like paper dolls, while others hit the deck, bleeding from sudden falls.

"What… what's going on?!"

"Those beasts are heading straight for us!"

One massive pterosaur swept down, spreading its wings to cast an enormous shadow over the sea. With its razor-sharp talons, it effortlessly grabbed a Navy warship, lifting it high into the air.

Nearby, a Quetzalcoatlus Pterosaur mirrored the act, clutching another large warship in its claws and ascending rapidly into the sky.

"Our ship is flying! What's happening?!"

"Damn it, what are these creatures?!"

"Where are they taking us?!"

Despite the sailors' panicked screams, the two titanic creatures continued their climb. Within moments, they had carried their prey several kilometers above the sea.

Then, without warning, they released their grip.

"Nooooooo—"

The ships plummeted toward the ocean.

"The warships are falling!"

"We're doomed! No one can survive this height!"

Their cries of despair filled the air as the two ships smashed into the sea below.

"BOOOOM! BOOOOM!"

The resulting explosions and sprays of seawater echoed across the battlefield.

As the chaos unfolded, the two enormous pterosaurs pivoted gracefully in midair, their keen eyes locking onto more targets.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Their massive wings churned the air as they dived again, intent on destroying more Navy ships.

Witnessing the scene before him, Hajrudin's eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter:

"So, El has already returned?"

"Wahahaha! And he's brought two incredibly strong allies!"

Putting down the massive Homie cannonball he was about to throw, Witt also laughed heartily.

They had already heard the news—El had recruited two giant warriors from the underwater prison and bestowed upon them two ancient Zoan-type flying Devil Fruits.

Without a doubt, the two enormous pterosaurs dominating the sky had to be them.

"Heh, so they can fly, huh? Ancient pterosaur-type users?"

Even the colossal "Colossal Battleship" Sanjuan Wolf looked up in surprise.

"Tch—"

The two gigantic pterosaurs descended rapidly, creating powerful gusts of wind as they closed in.

"Damn it, those are giant ability users!"

On the Navy's flagship, Vice Admiral Lomba of G-12 felt his pupils contract in shock.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead as he stared at the ferocious, colossal creatures swooping toward his fleet.

"Damn pirates, don't underestimate a Navy Vice Admiral!"

As a pterosaur hurtled toward him, Vice Admiral Lomba gritted his teeth. Refusing to sit idle, he launched himself into the air using Moonwalk, blade swinging in a wide arc:

"Crescent Slash!"

"Wooooosh!"

The massive pterosaur swiftly twisted its body mid-air, dodging the attack with remarkable agility.

With a powerful flap of its wings, it generated a violent gust of wind that sent Lomba tumbling through the air, unable to steady himself.

Even the large battleship behind him began to sway precariously, nearly capsizing under the force of the wind.

"Clang!!"

Sparks flew as Lomba's Haki-clad blade collided with the pterosaur's razor-sharp beak, emitting a deafening metallic screech that made the sailors on the ship wince.

Having gained full mastery of his Ancient Zoan: Pteranodon Form, Gace displayed incredible strength, speed, and reflexes. Far from the sluggishness typical of giant warriors, he moved with a predator's precision.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Though he barely managed to block the strike, Vice Admiral Lomba's hands trembled from the overwhelming force. His palms split open, blood seeping out as his sword nearly slipped from his grasp.

"Wooooosh!"

Not giving Lomba a moment to recover, the Pteranodon struck again with its metallic claws, gleaming like polished steel.

"Shhh!"

Lomba desperately kicked off the air, narrowly dodging the devastating swipe.

But before he could regroup, the pterosaur's massive wing swept toward him like a battering ram.

Seeing no way to evade, Lomba gritted his teeth and lunged with his blade in defiance. A spray of blood erupted from the wing but did nothing to halt its momentum.

The wing smashed into Lomba's body with terrifying force, his face contorting in agony as he spat blood. The impact sent him flying like a cannonball, plunging into the sea with a loud splash.

"Screeeeech!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the Quetzalcoatlus Pterosaur had already grabbed hold of a large warship, ascending rapidly into the sky.

"Heh, Jace, you're moving too fast!"

Seeing his younger brother's swift actions, Gace, in his Pteranodon form, chuckled. Unwilling to be outdone, he dove toward another battleship.

Ignoring the Navy's desperate gunfire, he fearlessly braved the storm of bullets and swooped down toward the target.

"Aaaaahhh—"

Under the horrified gazes of countless sailors, the massive pterosaur extended its talons and seized the warship.

With a mighty flap of his wings, Gace took to the skies, the massive ship dangling beneath him.

"Wooooosh!"

The ship groaned under the strain, its structure creaking loudly as Gace rose higher and higher, taking the vessel far from the battlefield.
