Chapter 39 - The Marine Fleet Has Been Completely Annihilated! Splash!

With a tremendous crash, water exploded into the air as the gigantic lobster plunged violently into the sea.

Moments later, it extended its enormous claws and clamped tightly onto the side of a warship.

The sudden impact caused the entire vessel to shake violently.

Marines on the deck immediately lost their footing, tumbling across the deck in disarray.

Only then did the Marines realize something terrifying—

The giant lobster's target was the six warships anchored along the shore.

"Damn it!!! That monster is going after the ships!!" one Marine screamed.

"No! We can't let it succeed! Without the cannons, we're finished!!" another shouted in panic.

"Fire! Open fire on that creature! Don't let it approach the ships!" a commander barked urgently.

"Report! The giant lobster is hiding along the ship's side! It's in our blind spot—most of our weapons can't reach it!" an observer shouted.

"What?!"

The commander's face instantly turned pale.

Panic spread rapidly among the Marines.

Both those in the harbor and those aboard the ships hurried to adjust their firing angles, focusing their attacks on the monstrous lobster.

But for a summon empowered by the Rinnegan, these scattered bullets and shells were nothing more than meaningless scratches.

"Hiss—"

The giant lobster released an eerie screech.

Then it raised its enormous claws high into the air—

And slammed them down on the warship.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The impact was devastating.

Dozens of Marines who failed to escape were instantly crushed into pulp.

The warship shook violently before suddenly sinking.

Amid towering waves, the terrifying power contained within the lobster's crimson claws was fully unleashed.

Before countless horrified eyes—

The entire warship was split cleanly in half.

Screams filled the air.

The Marines aboard had no chance to escape.

Together with the broken vessel, they were dragged down into the depths of the sea.

"Attack!!!"

"Keep attacking!!!"

The Marines on the remaining five warships turned pale with fear.

With no obstruction left, they aimed all their cannons at the lobster.

Shell after shell roared toward the monster.

Yet the lobster seemed to anticipate the attack.

Its massive body suddenly sank into the sea.

Every shell missed, exploding harmlessly in the water and sending waves crashing outward.

Moments later—

The sea beside another warship suddenly erupted.

The giant lobster burst out of the water again.

Its enormous claws seized a warship in an instant.

With a deafening roar, the entire vessel was violently flipped over.

"This… this can't be happening…"

From the harbor, the Marines watched in horror as two warships were destroyed within moments.

Their faces turned ghostly pale.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

But in their panic, they overlooked something.

With the naval artillery no longer suppressing it—

The giant rhinoceros had quietly approached from behind.

"MOOOOOO!!!"

The thunderous roar snapped the Marines out of their shock.

They slowly turned their heads.

What they saw nearly stopped their hearts.

The massive rhinoceros was charging toward them like a collapsing mountain.

"AAAAAAAH!!!"

Screams echoed across the harbor.

What followed was no longer a battle—

But a massacre.

Not far away, Arthur watched everything unfold.

His face was slightly pale, and his breathing had grown heavier.

Summoning two such powerful creatures in succession had nearly drained his already limited stamina.

Feeling the weakness creeping through his body, Arthur reached into his robe and took out a Soldier Pill he had obtained from White Fang.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it.

The pill dissolved instantly.

A surge of energy spread through his body.

His pale complexion gradually returned to normal.

His breathing steadied.

His stamina seemed fully restored.

In fact—

He felt even stronger than before.

"These Soldier Pills really are remarkable…"

"But taking too many would probably put too much strain on the body."

He murmured quietly.

After one last glance at the two summons rampaging among the Marines, Arthur slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again—

The Rinnegan had vanished, replaced by ordinary black eyes.

He turned around and calmly walked back toward the town.

Without even looking back, he gave a quiet order:

"Clean up the battlefield once it's over."

"Yes."

A respectful voice replied from somewhere unseen.

Meanwhile—

The slaughter at the harbor continued.

Against the overwhelming power of the two summoned beasts, the Marines fell one after another.

Warships were destroyed one by one, sinking into the ocean.

Eventually—

The Marines no longer thought about fighting.

They only tried to run.

But before the terrifying speed of the summoning beasts—

Escape was nothing more than a hopeless illusion.

An hour later…

Poof!

Poof!

Two loud bursts sounded.

The two summoned creatures instantly dissolved into clouds of white smoke and vanished.

What remained at the harbor was a horrifying scene.

Nearly five thousand Marine corpses lay scattered everywhere.

The sea nearby was littered with wreckage from the six warships.

Broken timbers and lifeless bodies floated on the waves.

The stench of blood hung heavily in the air—

Even the ocean wind could not disperse it.

Suddenly—

Whoosh!

An ANBU ninja appeared silently in the harbor.

His cold gaze swept over the field of corpses without the slightest emotion.

His hands formed rapid seals.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A massive torrent of water crashed down from above like a raging waterfall.

The flood washed away every corpse and every trace of blood across the harbor.

Under the tremendous force of the water, everything was swept into the deep ocean.

Whoosh!

As soon as the technique ended, the ANBU vanished without a trace.

When silence finally returned—

Only the scars left by cannon fire remained across the harbor.

The Marine fleet…

Had been completely annihilated.
