Chapter 114
In the first half of the New World, within the sea territory under the Golden Pirates' influence.
The Golden Pirates were currently locked in fierce battle with the Navy in this sea area.
On the Golden Ship, at this moment, Golden King Ubel was angrily staring at a burly figure on a distant warship, roaring furiously from his mouth.
"Steel Bone Kong! You bastard!" "This is the New World — not a place your Navy can meddle in!"
As Ubel's angry roar echoed across the vast sea surface, Fleet Admiral Kong standing at the bow of a Navy warship also heard the voice.
Looking at Ubel's furious face at the bow of the Golden Ship, Kong curled his lips into a disdainful smile.
According to the latest intelligence from the Navy, Blite was already on his way back to the central New World, and Kong was very confident in defeating Ubel.
"Hahahahaha! Ubel!" "If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave here!" "Otherwise, today is the day you face justice!"
Seeing Kong's calm and composed appearance, Sengoku and Zephyr standing behind him also showed yearning looks in their eyes.
Hearing Kong's words, Ubel's gaze instantly turned icy cold.
Feeling Ubel's aura growing increasingly violent, the two vice-captains standing behind Ubel now felt a headache coming on.
They never expected the situation to become so complicated, with even the Navy getting involved.
This put the Golden Pirates in an extremely passive position. Not only did they have to resist the Navy's attack, but they also had to face the wrath of the incoming Iron Wall Pirates.
Just as the atmosphere between both sides grew increasingly tense, Ubel also made up his mind.
They had to repel the Navy's assault first before dealing with the approaching Iron Wall Pirates.
"Little ones!" "Charge! Every Navy soldier you kill will earn you a hefty reward!"
Under Ubel's encouragement, the Golden Pirates instantly became excited, and their morale also soared dramatically.
With Ubel's command, all the affiliated pirate crews of the Golden Pirates charged toward the Navy warships ahead.
Kong standing at the bow of the main warship saw the enemy charging over. There was no fear in his eyes. His sharp gaze locked onto the Golden Ship leading the charge, and he waved his hand.
"All Vice Admirals, execute the pre-planned battle strategy!"
With Kong's attack order given, the Navy signalmen immediately relayed Kong's command to the surrounding Navy forces.
After seeing the flag signals from the main ship, the Navy officers instantly became excited. They commanded their respective units and charged toward the Golden Pirates.
Not long after, both fleets entered each other's firing range. In an instant, cannonballs rained down like a storm toward the opposing ships. Soon, some ships without strong fighters onboard were sunk into the sea by the falling cannon fire.
After exhausting all their carried artillery, both sides entered close-quarters combat.
Ubel standing at the bow of the Golden Ship looked at his fleet suffering heavy losses. He felt as if his heart was bleeding.
In contrast, the Navy warships suffered relatively minor losses.
This clearly showed that the Navy's technological level completely crushed these pirate forces. This was also one of the foundations allowing the Navy to dominate the seas.
Kong looked at Ubel on the Golden Ship. He stretched his body, tapped the bow with his toe, and charged toward the Golden Ship where Ubel was.
Seeing Kong charging toward the enemy flagship, Sengoku and Zephyr behind him also followed without hesitation.
Seeing Kong rushing toward him, bloodshot lines continuously appeared in Ubel's eyes.
Looking at the three figures descending toward the Golden Ship, Ubel's face began to twist.
"Wahahahaha!" "Since you've come, don't even think about leaving!"
Golden Ocean!
As Ubel activated his awakened Devil Fruit ability, a golden light wave instantly spread outward with him as the center. Wherever the golden light wave passed, all objects instantly turned into liquid gold.
Seeing Ubel go berserk, Bario and Thornton standing behind Ubel quickly flashed and jumped to areas not yet covered by the golden light wave.
Looking at the liquid gold continuously spreading like water in all directions, wariness appeared in their eyes.
Kong flying in, saw this scene and tapped the air with his toe, rising even higher. As he soared upward, a terrifying power instantly gathered from his body into his fist.
"Galaxy Impact!"
Kong looked at Ubel below and punched straight toward him.
Soon a silver shockwave shot toward Ubel like a meteor.
Seeing this scene, Ubel felt the immense power of this strike, and his gaze instantly became grave.
"Golden Round Shield!"
As his hands touched the ground, streams of liquid gold rapidly wrapped around him.
The moment the golden sphere formed, a terrifying force instantly descended upon the deck of the Golden Ship.
BOOM!
With a deafening roar, the Golden Pirates crew were shocked to discover that the 100-meter-long Golden Ship violently trembled. The spot struck by Kong was directly blasted apart.
Bario and Thornton standing in the distance also saw this scene. Seeing Kong's overwhelming power, their expressions stiffened on their faces.
As golden dust scattered across the deck, everyone finally saw clearly: the golden sphere enveloping Ubel's body had been punched with a deep dent.
Seeing Ubel actually block his attack, a hint of regret appeared on Kong's face.
The moment Kong landed on the deck, Sengoku and Zephyr also landed on the deck.
The two immediately fixed their gazes on Bario and Thornton.
Soon they had assigned their opponents. Sengoku flashed toward Thornton. While in mid-air, Sengoku's body instantly expanded, turning into a dozens-of-meters-tall golden giant.
Looking at Thornton as tiny as an ant in front of him, Sengoku punched straight toward him.
Thornton saw a massive golden glowing fist smashing toward him. His eyes narrowed, and he turned into a cloud of sand, flying toward a nearby pirate ship.
After Thornton landed on the ground, he immediately pressed both hands on the deck.
Erosion Reincarnation!
Under the effect of his Devil Fruit ability, the deck under Thornton's feet quickly cracked and turned into a small desert.
After blasting the deck beneath him into pieces with one punch, Sengoku immediately locked his gaze on Thornton and jumped toward the ship he was on.
They engaged in battle.
