The cigar in Yasopp's mouth remained motionless, but the 'Destiny' sniper rifle in his hand continuously spewed fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three bullets, imbued with Armament Haki, shot out in a triangular formation, drawing strange arcs in the air.
The first bullet knocked a falling cannonball sideways in mid-air, the second bullet corrected its angle, and the third bullet, like a billiard ball, precisely struck the cannonball into another incoming one.
"Boom boom boom!"
Fireballs exploded in mid-air like crimson fireworks, and shrapnel rained into the sea.
"Heave-ho!" Lucky Roux's seemingly clumsy body suddenly transformed into an afterimage, still holding half a chicken leg in his mouth.
His round belly exaggeratedly swelled like rubber, absorbing three howitzer shells aimed at the concert hall.
"Feast! Rebound Banquet!"
With a loud shout, the fat on his body rippled like waves, and his belly, hardened by Armament Haki, bounced the cannonballs back at an even more terrifying speed.
Before the Marine soldiers on the warship could react, they saw their own cannonballs explode on the deck, causing chaos.
Benn Beckman stood at the ship's rail, two flintlock pistols spinning in his fingers, creating a dazzling display.
He took a deep puff from his cigar and suddenly fired with crossed hands.
"Clink clink clink--" The bullets, as if they had eyes, pierced through the gaps in the cannon fire, each one precisely hitting the most fragile part of the cannonball's fuse.
Most astonishingly, some bullets even changed direction a second time in mid-air, continuously detonating three cannonballs like hummingbirds.
The light of the explosions illuminated his stern profile, and from the drifting ash came his faint mockery: "Are the Marine recruits so incompetent they can't even properly arm a fuse?"
The New Navy's silver fleet formed a perfect arc array on the sea.
Ain stood at the bow of the flagship 'Rebirth,' her hands clasped across her chest, and blue flames erupted from between her fingers.
"Phoenix Flame Net!"
With her clear, cold cry, the blue flames intertwined in the air to form a giant bird totem, each feather compressed from high-density flames.
The moment the cannonballs crashed into the flame net, their warheads were instantly melted by the high temperature, and the gunpowder inside was incinerated before it could explode.
Ain's blue ponytail fluttered in the heatwave, and fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, but her gaze remained firm.
At the same time,
Binz performed a strange dance on another warship, his limbs twisting and swaying at ergonomically impossible angles, and the sea immediately began to boil.
"Dance of Growth · Sea Vine Barrier!"
Countless thick vines burst out of the water, weaving into a giant green buffer zone on the sea surface.
The surface of these specially made vines was covered in mucus, capable of absorbing explosion impacts.
When cannonballs fell into the vine net, it was like dropping into a pile of cotton, only producing dull "thudding" sounds.
Binz's dance became faster and faster, and the range of the vines continuously expanded, even actively intercepting low-flying cannonballs.
What was most shocking was Zephyr's personal intervention.
The elderly former Marine Admiral leaped dozens of meters high, his right arm muscles bulging, and a spiraling vortex of dark Armament Haki formed on his fist.
"Iron Fist · Meteor Crush!"
His heavy punch collided head-on with a specially made Sea Stone cannonball, actually emitting a metallic clang!
The moment the cannonball was blown apart in mid-air, Zephyr used the force to flip in the air, his right leg descending like a battle-axe, kicking another cannonball towards the Marine fleet.
