Battle at Sea
Chapter 43: Battle at Sea
---
The Silverhair Pirates had just recruited Kamsu V. Shiro and were setting sail from Alabasta. The atmosphere was tense as they navigated the waters, knowing full well that the Navy was on high alert.
Arthur stood at the helm, his eyes scanning the horizon. "Stay sharp, everyone. We're not out of danger yet."
Suddenly, Lisa, who was in the crow's nest, shouted, "Navy fleet ahead! About thirty warships, and they're coming straight for us!"
Arthur's grip tightened on the wheel. "Prepare for battle! This is going to be tough."

The Naval Fleet
The approaching Navy fleet was an intimidating sight. Thirty warships, each bristling with cannons and manned by highly trained soldiers. Leading the fleet was Admiral Kanji, with ten lieutenant generals, fifty colonels, two vice admirals, and countless soldiers under his command.
Admiral Kanji stood at the bow of the lead ship, his eyes fixed on the Silverhair Pirates. "There they are. All units, prepare for combat. This time, we will capture Sergio D. Arthur and his crew."

Clash of Titans
The first cannonballs were fired, and the sea erupted in chaos. The Silverhair Pirates expertly maneuvered their ship, dodging incoming fire and returning shots with precision.
Arthur shouted orders to his crew, "Lisa, take the helm! Surv, use your Devil Fruit powers to create a barrier! Alex, Hiroshi, Rio, prepare to board their ships!"
Lisa deftly took control of the ship, her navigation skills keeping them one step ahead of the Navy's bombardment. Surv, using the Denki Denki no Mi, generated an electric barrier to deflect cannonballs and protect their ship.
Alex and Hiroshi leaped onto the nearest Navy ship, their Observation Haki guiding their every move. Alex's sharpshooting skills took out enemy soldiers with pinpoint accuracy, while Hiroshi's swordsman abilities cut through their ranks like a whirlwind.
Rio, from a distance, provided cover fire, his sharpshooting abilities unmatched. Each shot he fired found its mark, taking down key targets and creating openings for his crewmates.
Dr. Megulus, now proficient in both Armament and Observation Haki, used his skills to heal his allies while simultaneously fending off enemies. His advanced Haki allowed him to sense incoming threats and react swiftly.

Arthur's Show of Strength
Arthur, wielding his bisento, leaped onto the deck of the lead Navy ship. His Conqueror's Haki flared, knocking out dozens of soldiers instantly. He moved with unparalleled speed and precision, his Armament Haki-enhanced strikes cutting through even the toughest defenses.
A lieutenant general charged at him, but Arthur parried the attack with ease and countered with a powerful slash that sent the officer flying.
Another lieutenant general, wielding a massive axe, swung at Arthur, but he ducked under the blow and delivered a devastating punch to the officer's gut, enhanced by his Armament Haki. The impact sent the lieutenant general crashing through the ship's railings.
As the battle raged on, the Silverhair Pirates showcased their growth and unity. Each member fought with unwavering determination, their skills honed to perfection.

Rus's Transformation
Rus, now more confident in his abilities, transformed into his Garuda form and took to the skies. From above, he unleashed powerful wind gusts and lightning strikes, disrupting the Navy's formations and creating chaos among their ranks.
"Garuda's Gale!" he shouted, flapping his wings with immense force. The resulting gust of wind sent dozens of soldiers sprawling and capsized several smaller boats.
"Wind Blade Slash!" Rus continued, sending razor-sharp wind blades towards the enemy ships, slicing through their sails and masts.

Hiroshi and Alex's Onslaught
Hiroshi, wielding his Twin Swords of Shadows, moved with the grace and speed of a master swordsman. His strikes were precise and lethal, each swing of his blades taking down multiple enemies.
"Shadow Strike!" Hiroshi called out, disappearing into the shadows and reappearing behind a group of soldiers, cutting them down before they even realized what had happened.
Alex, using his Observation Haki, predicted enemy movements and fired his rifle with deadly accuracy. "Eagle Eye!" he called, each shot finding its mark and taking down key targets.
The two worked in perfect harmony, their attacks complementing each other and creating a path of destruction through the Navy's ranks.

Surv and Dr. Megulus
Surv, using her Denki Denki no Mi powers, created electric barriers to protect her crewmates and launched lightning strikes at the enemy. "Thunderbolt Barrage!" she shouted, sending bolts of lightning raining down on the Navy ships.
Dr. Megulus, now skilled in both Armament and Observation Haki, used his medical knowledge to heal his allies and his combat skills to fend off attackers. "Healing Touch!" he called, his hands glowing with Haki as he healed a wounded crewmate.
"Poisonous Mist!" Megulus continued, releasing a cloud of toxic gas that incapacitated nearby enemies, giving his crewmates an advantage.

Arthur vs. Admiral Kanji
On the deck of the lead Navy ship, Arthur finally faced off against Admiral Kanji. The tension between them was palpable as they prepared for a fierce battle.
Kanji, a master of the Soku Soku no Mi (Speed Speed Fruit), moved with blinding speed, launching a flurry of punches at Arthur. "You can't keep up with my speed, Arthur!"
Arthur, using his advanced Observation Haki, foresaw Kanji's movements and countered with precise strikes. "You're fast, Kanji, but I've trained for this."
The two clashed in a display of martial arts prowess, their movements almost too fast to see. Arthur's Armament Haki enhanced his blows, while Kanji's speed made him a formidable opponent.
Kanji attempted a rapid series of jabs, but Arthur deflected them with his own hands, using his martial arts training to parry and counterattack. He delivered a powerful kick to Kanji's midsection, sending him skidding back.
Kanji recovered quickly, using his speed to disappear and reappear behind Arthur. He aimed a punch at Arthur's back, but Arthur anticipated the move and spun around, blocking the punch and countering with a knee strike to Kanji's chest.
The two continued to exchange blows, each strike echoing like thunder. Arthur's strength and precision clashed with Kanji's speed and agility, creating a mesmerizing dance of combat.
Kanji attempted to use his speed to overwhelm Arthur, but Arthur's advanced Observation Haki allowed him to keep up, predicting each move and responding with calculated counters. The fight reached a fever pitch as both fighters pushed their limits.
Arthur saw an opening and delivered a powerful elbow strike to Kanji's jaw, stunning the Admiral. Seizing the moment, Arthur unleashed a rapid series of punches and kicks, each one infused with Armament Haki, driving Kanji back.
Kanji, reeling from the assault, tried to regain his composure, but Arthur was relentless. With a final, devastating uppercut, Arthur sent Kanji crashing to the deck, incapacitated. He said that Silver hair pirate has improved a lot in this three years when he disappeared from the sea."
With Kanji temporary defeated, the morale of the Navy forces began to crumble. The Silverhair Pirates, their spirits bolstered by Arthur's victory, pressed the attack, driving the Navy soldiers back.
Surv's electric barriers and lightning strikes disrupted the enemy's formations, while Alex's sharpshooting and Hiroshi's swordsmanship cut through their ranks. Rio's precision shots took out key targets, and Dr. Megulus's healing and poisonous mist kept the crew fighting at full strength.
Rus, in his Garuda form, continued to wreak havoc from above, his wind and lightning attacks decimating the enemy ships.
The combined efforts of the Silverhair Pirates proved too much for the Navy to handle. One by one, the Navy ships were either sunk or forced to retreat, their soldiers demoralized and defeated.
