CHAPTER 125
While the Aitrias Pirates' ships charged toward the enemy fleet, Vilin tapped the ground with his foot and leaped up to the lookout platform.
He picked up a monocular telescope and began observing the battle.
He saw eight ships flying the Rocks Pirates flag rushing toward his fleet.
The pirate captain standing at the bow of the leading ship instantly showed a wary expression on his face.
After all, the Rocks Pirates were now the undisputed overlord of these waters.
However, he wasn't particularly afraid. With his strength, he believed that aside from a few division captains of the Rocks Pirates, he had no reason to fear any other members of the Rocks Pirates.
After all, he was a great pirate with a 600 million berry bounty.
Moreover, his mercenary pirate crew had a total bounty of 1.5 billion berries across the entire group.
Watching the several distinctively decorated pirate ships getting closer and closer to his fleet, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in Monte's eyes. He shouted to all the division captains behind him:
"Charge!" "Take their heads and seize all their treasure!"
The moment the word "treasure" was mentioned, the division captains of the Mercenary Pirates immediately became restless.
Even though the opponent was the Rocks Pirates, they were pirates too — how could they possibly fear them!
Soon the division captains of the Mercenary Pirates jumped back to their own ships and commanded their crews to meet the enemy head-on.
Hu Yue stood at the bow with a cold expression. Seeing the enemy charging over, the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling up slightly.
"Sisters! Open fire!" "Let them experience a baptism of cannon fire!"
Hearing Hu Yue's order, her crew immediately got busy, loading the new type of cannonballs developed by Caitlin.
With a series of deafening BOOM BOOM BOOM sounds echoing across the sea, Vilin saw massive cannonballs hurtling toward the Mercenary Pirates' fleet.
Seeing Hu Yue fire first, the other division captains also excitedly ordered their crews to begin attacking the enemy fleet.
Among them, Caitlin was the most excited. Standing on her ship, she held a monocular telescope and watched the cannonballs continuously exploding on the enemy ships, igniting pillars of fire.
Seeing the tremendous power of the cannonballs she had developed, even the black high ponytail behind her head couldn't help bouncing happily.
If Vilin could see Caitlin's black ponytail bouncing like that, he would definitely excitedly carry her to his soft big bed to "exchange feelings" thoroughly.
Vilin stood at the bow of the Flying Bird, watching several of the Mercenary Pirates' ships already have their masts blown off and rendered completely useless. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
He decided that tonight he must reward Caitlin properly.
On the boundless sea, an intense battle was currently unfolding.
Monte looked at the destroyed ships ahead, his eyes filled with heartache.
After all, ships capable of sailing the New World were extremely expensive to build — generally at least 200 million berries each.
After several rounds of cannon fire, both sides finally closed in on each other.
Seeing the Mercenary Pirates, the Aitrias Pirates crew immediately formed five-person squads and, under their division captains' lead, charged onto the enemy ships.
When the Mercenary Pirates saw that their attackers were all women, they quickly realized this was the fleet of Vilin, the 7th Division Captain of the Rocks Pirates.
But by then it was already too late for them to retreat.
"Sisters! Knock them all out!"
After knocking out a pirate in front of her with one punch, Hu Yue immediately charged toward this pirate crew's division captain.
She threw a punch straight toward the opponent's head.
Feeling the tremendous power carried by the silver-haired woman's fist, the Mercenary Pirates division captain instantly wrapped his fist in Armament Haki and met her head-on.
BANG!
Soon he felt a massive force transmitted through his arm, causing his fist to be deflected.
Now, under Vilin's training, the division captains of the Aitrias Pirates had all reached Vice Admiral level strength.
Among them, the most outstanding were naturally Haidi and Hu Yue (both with Mythical Zoan), followed by Fiona and Elria — they had rapidly grown through fierce battles and reached high-tier Vice Admiral level.
With such strength, they could sail the New World — as long as they didn't encounter Quasi-Admiral level powerhouses.
While Hu Yue was fighting her opponent, Fiona and the other women also charged toward the other executives of the Mercenary Pirates.
Seeing all the executive spots taken, Haidi had no choice but to lock her gaze on Monte.
After finding her target, she lightly tapped the ground with her toe and charged toward Monte.
Seeing someone attacking him, Monte focused intently on perceiving the opponent's movements.
With a whistling sound through the air, Monte directly raised his arm to block.
The moment he raised his arm, he felt a tremendous force kicking toward his head. What shocked him even more was that after receiving this blow, he felt waves of stabbing pain deep in his soul.
This made it difficult for him to concentrate.
Seeing the opponent block her attack, Haidi flicked her black cat tail behind her. Her body instantly moved like a swimming fish, appearing flexibly on the opponent's other side.
She swung her fist toward Monte's head.
Monte gritted his teeth and blocked.
As the two fists collided, a purple nether flame instantly slammed into Monte's face.
Seeing this eerie flame, Monte could only quickly dodge to the side, but his soul still got stained by the flame.
This made him grit his teeth in pain.
Seeing Monte dodge her attack, a surprised look appeared in Haidi's eyes. She quickly appeared in front of him again.
Nether Slash!
A dark crescent cross slash instantly appeared in front of Monte, sending him flying.
After receiving such a heavy blow, even Monte — who had trained his Haki to a certain level — suffered serious damage.
Vilin stood at the bow of the Flying Bird, watching the distant battle erupt, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
Looking at the valiant and heroic figures of his crew in battle, Vilin couldn't help praising them.
"They've finally grown up!" "As expected of the crew I trained!"
Soon Vilin shifted his gaze toward Naz, who was happily playing with Otohime, Shirayuki, and Robin.
