Massacre*

"We'll deal with him later Vito, let's go and give Mr. Moriarty a present." Vito holstered his pistol and nodded, following Capone Bege out of the dimly lit bar. The sun was barely rising, casting an eerie glow over the island as the tension in the air grew. Bege knew that the success of their operation depended on the element of surprise.

The Sanchez Tower is a massive medieval European castle-like structure that stands as a symbol of the Sanchez Family's power and influence on Rosemary Island for generations. What's special about this island is that it's one of the few matriarchal societies in this world. Here women fought alongside men in all fields of life, in the family most of the decisions are made by the women in the household. Economically, they depended heavily on information gathering, bootlegging, smuggling, prostitution, and illegal trading but they also had impressive naval strength. 

The top of the tower was now serving as the command post for the war. Victor, Robin, and Sofia stood in the room filled with den den mushi operators and higher-ups who were ready to relay commands efficiently. The enemy fleet was now approaching at full speed, in a few minutes they'd reach the cannon fire range(2 Km). 

"Zala! Send them to the bottom!" Victor took his personal den den mushi and commanded his reinforcement unit.

"Fishies! It's time for the hunt to begin." Zala blew out smoke from her pipe as she ordered her subordinates.

"Finally we get to swim into battle again! I have heard those with the best performance will be promoted to a permanent member of the Moriarty gang!" One of the hammerhead sharkmen said menacingly.

"What? For real brother??" The tigerfish men said with wide eyes.

"Keke! Guys, let's see who can who can sink more ships today!" The others cheered with enthusiasm.

Nine figures dressed in military gear dived into the sea from the small warship into the open seas. Unlike humans, their swimming speed was extremely swift as they used their webbed hands and strong physique to rip through the waves. These fishmen were among the slaves who were rescued during the purge, they volunteered to join the gang as the job came with good pay and they got to start a new life in their new home. Fish-men appear as hybrids between humans and fish. However, in contrast to merfolk, who possess a human-like upper half and a fish-like lower half, Fish-men have both human legs and fish-like features. One feature all Fish-men share is gills between their shoulders and necks.

Gotti stood on the bow of mothership Nostra Castello themed on a fortress, equipped with various weapons and having a castle in place of a cabin. The figurehead was a rook with dual cannons. He was leading the strike team to battle, unlike in anime both of his arms were still present and he carried a massive machine gun on his back. 

"Prepare the cannons, fire when the enemy ships are in range!" He ordered confidently.

"Yes Boss!!" Many subordinates replied in unison.

On one of the ships, the lookout suddenly alerted with a shrill shout, "There's movement underwater!!!"

Before anyone could react there were four explosions underwater and the ships in the front slowly came to a halt disrupting the momentum of the fleet's charge. The fishmen used their fish-man abilities to unleash powerful water blasts and underwater explosives to blow up and disrupt the enemy's advance. Chaos erupted amid the approaching fleet as one after another they started to blow up and sink mid-ocean. The unexpected attacks from beneath the waves had caught the Capone Family's forces off guard. Ships were rocked by powerful blasts, some capsizing, while their crews desperately tried to swim to safety and hold onto the debris.

"Flank them now!! Don't let them come ashore!!" Sofia ordered her men, accordingly her ships started to flank the enemy and fired barrage a volley of cannonballs. The battle for Rosemary Island continued to escalate, with both sides locked in a fierce and deadly confrontation. The combination of Victor's strategic planning and the fishermen's surprise attack had created a tumultuous sea battle. The sky was filled with smoke and the sounds of cannon fire, and the tension in the air was palpable as civilians hid in safety. The Capone Family's forces, though caught off guard by the initial fishmen attack, were not to be underestimated. They swiftly reorganized their ranks, trying to regain their composure and adapt to the unexpected situation. Unfortunately, the Sanchez Family's naval forces under the leadership of Sofia and her tactical expertise, maintained relentless pressure on the approaching enemy fleets. Cannonballs continued to rain down on the Capone Family's ships, causing more damage and chaos. The flanking maneuver was effective in further disrupting the enemy's formation and preventing them from reaching the shore.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, the small warship sneaked near the Nostra Castello, 11 of Moriarty's best fighters equipped in full military gear were being led by Zala towards the enemy flagship. Their mission was simple, 'Neutralise the enemies."

In the command room, Robin was using her Hana-Hana no Mi powers to search for any suspicious movements nearby. One of Victor's clones has already discovered that Bege Capone was not present on the ship while he was monitoring the battlefield from the sky. It has also discovered a marine fleet on the horizon, so they must also be planning to take action if both sides are heavily injured.

"He has already arrived on the island it seems, Plan A was doomed to fail from the start. Luckily you have anticipated this and prepared a backup." She nodded at Victor with a thankful smile. She has already evacuated the civilians from the city to ensure their safety. 

"Don't worry, let him come!"

"Guys! A carriage is speeding towards the tower from South Street, I think Don Bege's in it." Robin said suddenly causing others to grow tense. Bege's devil fruit ability was a little troublesome to counter on land.

"Victor! Do you really want to go to fight him? I know you have trained for a month, but what if you get hurt?" Sofia asked worriedly. Well, Victor was only infamous for his strength in bed, not an actual battle.

"He'll be fine, worry about yourself Sofia Sanchez. I'll stay here with you in case there's a sneak attack so try not to hold be nack." Robin said casually as she nodded towards Victor. She was dressed in a Black coat and suit and covered her face with a devilish mask to hide her real identity.

"Maria, lead our elite unit with Victor and bring me Bege's head." Sofia didn't reply to Robin's words but directly gave orders confidently.

"Don't get hurt ladies!" Victor said before he jumped from the top of the tower. He descended towards the gorund with great speed before flew away swiftly like an archangel when he unfurled his black wings. Maria followed suit as she fully transformed into her zoan form, a huge Raven with massive wingspan and followed behind Victor.
