Whitebeard Jr. gripped his naginata tightly, somewhat irritated as he waited for Reno to arrive.
As long as he killed Reno, he could go back to his Mother.
Nearby,
Jinbe's face was grim, restless and anxious.
He didn't know how he would face Reno later.
Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi had joined the Reno Pirates.
Fish-Man Island received Reno's protection and benevolence.
He was very conflicted.
Law was expressionless, holding kikoku in his arms.
He didn't have much affection for Reno, but he also held no ill will.
Initially,
The reason he agreed to the Marine's request to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was entirely because he wanted revenge on Doflamingo.
But now,
Doflamingo had died at Reno's hands.
He had also achieved his great revenge.
Of the six Seven Warlords of the Sea,
It could be said that not a single one of them was here willingly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Finally,
Someone grew impatient.
"Damn it, Reno wouldn't have chickened out, would he??"
Blackbeard spat in extreme displeasure.
He had waited so long that the flowers were wilting.
However,
Just as his words fell,
All the powerhouses who had been resting with their eyes closed almost simultaneously opened them.
"He's here!"
They all looked up at the sky in unison.
A giant airship was flying rapidly towards them.
On the airship's deck,
Reno, accompanied by The girls, looked down from above.
Everyone was clearly visible.
"World Government, Red Hair Pirates, Revolutionary Army, Blackbeard Pirates."
Reno murmured softly, a grin slowly spreading across his lips.
"Everyone's here, huh?"
Perfect!
One fell swoop!
"Are you all ready?!"
Reno turned, smiling as he looked at all the women.
Those on the deck were The girls who would be fighting in this battle.
The others stayed inside the airship, watching everything happening outside through monitor screens.
Safe and comfortable.
Fifty-eight girls, all standing neatly!
"Reno, I'm not the little girl who just left the East Blue anymore."
Nami playfully winked at him.
"Reno, I won't lose."
Tashigi gripped Enma tightly, full of confidence.
"Reno, after the battle, you must compensate this concubine well."
Hancock gave him a resentful look, involuntarily leaning closer to Reno.
Reno broke into a cold sweat.
Who would have thought?
The dignified pirate empress was so addicted.
No matter how much he did, it wasn't enough.
"Captain, I'm exhausted from this period of time. Just watch how I'll deal with them!"
Gerd pouted in dissatisfaction.
She had spent ten full months in the Time Room, practicing and cultivating every single day.
Even a good person would go crazy.
Fortunately,
Her hard work was not in vain.
The other girls also expressed their fearlessness.
Reno nodded in satisfaction at their display, then controlled the airship to descend at an even faster speed.
"Reno!"
"Reno!"
"Reno!"
"..."
Below,
Angry voices continuously rang out.
Nearly ninety percent of the people stared at him with eyes full of killing intent and hatred.
If looks could kill, Reno would have died hundreds of times over.
The airship landed on the island.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Reno took the lead, stepping off the deck.
Behind him,
Nami, Tashigi, Gerd, Hancock, Uta, Stussy, Gunko, Yamato, Doll, Robin, Reiju, Black Maria, Ulti, Carrot.
Fourteen people followed closely.
"Gunko!!!"
"Uta??"
The moment The girls appeared before everyone, angry and puzzled voices continuously rang out from both the World Government and the Red Hair Pirates' lineups.
Gazing at the figure following closely behind Reno.
Saint Garling's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
As a Celestial Dragon, he actually lowered himself to join Reno?!
"How dare you betray the World Government??"
His voice was so cold it seemed capable of freezing a person's blood.
Gunko, as a member of the God's Knights, had once gone with Shamrock to the Giant to recruit Loki.
The result was Shamrock's death, and Gunko went missing.
Now, she actually joined the Reno Pirates?!
She truly had a death wish.
Gunko slightly raised her eyebrows, glanced at Saint Garling with an expressionless face, and said indifferently, "Saint Garling, less talk, today is your day to die!!"
Upon hearing this, the Marine Generals looked at Gunko with interest.
Even Celestial Dragons can betray?
How interesting.
They wondered how Reno managed it.
Besides Saint Garling, what interested everyone most was Shanks.
Ever since he arrived, he hadn't said a word.
He didn't respond to anyone's conversations either.
But Shanks showed such a loss of composure when he saw Uta.
Even more interesting.
Shanks ignored the strange looks from everyone, staring intently at Uta in the crowd, and said in disbelief, "Uta, why are you here??"
His brows were almost twisted into the character 'Sichuan' (chuan, meaning river).
This was someone he couldn't have guessed would appear here, even if he racked his brain.
"Reno, what exactly have you done to Uta??"
Seeing Uta ignore his presence, Shanks suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly powerful aura.
This soaring aura invigorated everyone.
Reno glanced at him and said calmly, "Shanks, you'd better calm down, otherwise..."
Shanks was startled.
Anxious for his daughter, he thought Reno was threatening Uta's life, so he immediately reined in his aura, only able to glare fiercely at the other party.
Reno withdrew his gaze, and the airship ascended and disappeared.
Afterward, he carefully observed the various forces on the island.
Every single one of them was a familiar face.
He could call out each person's name.
His gaze swept over the area where the Marine and the World Government were located.
Reno saw Akainu, Kong, Mihawk, Jinbe, as well as Hibari, Kujaku, and Momousagi.
Not bad.
Looking at the three women with good figures and appearances, he nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed today would be another day of great gains.
To the west, in the area of the Revolutionary Army, he saw Dragon, Sabo, and a few remnants of Whitebeard's crew.
"Betty?"
Reno's eyes lit up with some surprise.
As the old saying goes, 'You search high and low for something, only to find it effortlessly.'
No need to say anything else, it's all fate.
To the south, in the area of the Red Hair Pirates, the entire Iron Wall Pirate Crew was present.
To the east, where the Blackbeard Pirates were located, Reno raised an eyebrow.
"Blackbeard, what are you doing here??" he asked with a playful expression.
The World Government and the Revolutionary Army, of course, had a deep-seated blood feud, so there was no need to elaborate.
Red Hair Shanks being Stenchus's brother was also understandable.
But what was this little Blackbeard doing here, and on what grounds?
Did he also want to clash with him??
Facing Reno's questioning, Blackbeard, who had just been Arrogant (clamoring) across the entire field, suddenly deflated.
He subconsciously swallowed, stammering, "Reno, I... I'm just here to watch the show."
"Let me state in advance, I will not participate in any of your battles."
His gaze swept across the entire scene.
Reno's lips curled into a cold smile.
That sounded good.
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits, right?
Once they fought to a mutual defeat, this guy would definitely look for an opportunity to pick up the scraps.
But it didn't matter.
He had already planned everything.
Seeing Reno avert his gaze, Blackbeard wiped the sweat from his forehead with a sigh of relief.
Damn it!
What was with that suffocating pressure just now?!
Reno glanced at Morgans in the distance.
They exchanged a knowing look, and he shifted his gaze again.
"Reno, hand them over!!" Jonathan stepped forward, radiating killing intent.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
"Reno, you're quite confident, bringing these dozen or so women here to die." Tokikake glanced at Nami and the other women with disdain.
Among these people, there might be a few strong ones.
But surrounded by the three major forces, they were merely ants trying to shake a tree.
The reactions of the others were no different from his.
Their faces all carried a subtle hint of mockery.
"To die?!" Reno shook his head, pointing his finger towards the port.
"Look closely again!!"
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
As if to confirm his words, muffled footsteps suddenly came from afar.
Like war drums beating, the violent tremor made the Gravel and sand (crushed stones and sand particles) on the ground leap up.
Gradually, two colossal figures revealed their true forms.
"Roar!!!"
"Shanks!!!"
A monstrous roar and a voice filled with hatred pierced the sky.
Oars the Devil and Giant Prince Loki stepped onto the battlefield!!
"Loki!!"
Upon seeing the two, the pupils of everyone from the four factions suddenly constricted.
The undisguised, almost tangible aura emanating from them made them feel involuntarily alarmed.
"Ehh hee hee hee hee hee, Loki, don't steal my thunder!!!" On Oars the Devil's shoulder, Moriah spat unhappily.
"You scumbags, I was loyal, and you actually discarded me after using me, sending Doflamingo to kill me."
"Today, I'll kill all of you bastards!!" Moriah's eyes were gloomy, staring at Saint Garling with extreme venom.
"Loki!!"
When enemies meet, their eyes burn with fury.
Shanks's right hand subconsciously rested on the gryphon at his waist.
"Bartholomew Kuma, even you..." Kong's face immediately darkened as he looked at the figure walking towards him, holding a Bible.
At Sabaody Archipelago, Bartholomew Kuma had gone missing.
He hadn't expected him to have joined the Reno Pirates.
Bartholomew Kuma slightly raised his eyebrows. "The Captain has shown me kindness, so..."
He glanced at everyone, his voice indifferent: "May you all be blessed!"
Boom!!!
A casual remark, like a heavy hammer, struck everyone's hearts.
Those who had just been looking down on Reno now had grave expressions on their faces with the appearance of these individuals.
Leaving aside the others for now, Loki!!
A true weapon of mass destruction, his record was verifiable!
The number of souls who had died under his Iron Thunder was countless.
Why would such an existence submit to Reno?
And what is the origin of that ancient Giant?
The aura around him was in no way inferior to Loki's.
Just as everyone was still in shock…
"Hahahahaha, Captain, we're not too late, are we?!"
A massive Pterosaur dominated the sky.
Its dark wings blotted out the sun.
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
Another series of dull thuds.
Everyone's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
Who was it this time?
"Roar!!!"
"Captain, I'm here!!"
"Damn it, I'm going to kill all you bastards today!!"
"Everyone, speed up!!"
"..."
With a series of shouts, Queen and Jack made their grand entrance.
Beside them were Who's Who, Sasaki, and Page One of the Tobiroppo.
And behind them...
Were ten colossal figures.
Each with ferocious faces and tusks, utterly monstrous.
Those were the Beasts Pirates' ten Numbers.
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
""
After being modified with demon-level monster cells, they had long been reborn.
"Three Disasters, Tobiroppo, Numbers."
Fleet Admiral Kong's face was grim as he slowly, word by word, called out the identities of the newcomers.
"I didn't expect even Kaido's Beasts Pirates to fall into your hands!!"
His voice grew increasingly low.
The expressions of the others were even more somber.
The aura around these people was clearly abnormal.
Everyone came to Reno's side, stood respectfully, and waited for his command.
Reno's lips curled slightly, and a playful smile spread across his face.
He looked at everyone and said mockingly, "Do you still think victory is within your grasp now?"
Dead silence.
A dead silence where a pin could be heard.
Everyone's faces were grim, yet no one dared to answer.
Loki, Oars the Devil, and Bartholomew Kuma were not to be underestimated.
"Reno!!!"
After a long pause, Saint Garling was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
He suddenly stood up and drew the rapier from his waist.
He pointed his sword at Reno!
"Don't think you can win just because they're helping you!"
"Today, you are doomed to die!"
He was very glad he had come here.
Otherwise...
The Marine might really be defeated.
But as long as he was here...
It meant the entire God's Knights was here!
"Enough talk, let's fight!!"
Reno couldn't be bothered to waste more words and casually waved his hand.
As his words fell...
A Giant figure stepped out from the crowd.
Clang!
The giant axe crashed down!
Gerd scanned the crowd, her gaze finally settling.
"You, get out here!!"
"Ignorant junior, you're asking for death!!!"
"Shave!"
With a loud shout, Fleet Admiral Kong flashed forward.
Being called out first in public, was he being treated as a soft persimmon to be squeezed?
"Take this punch from me!!"
Fleet Admiral Kong, enraged, threw a punch. Known for his martial arts and Haki, he didn't bother with much flash.
A heavy punch, enough to destroy a mountain.
A powerful, heavy punch came, and Gerd's expression remained unchanged.
Clang!
The hellflame axe was plunged firmly into the ground.
"Momo 40x Punch!!"
Gerd, fearless, also threw a punch.
Boom!!!
Under everyone's gaze, fists with a size difference of dozens of times collided violently.
However, what happened next astonished everyone.
Thump, thump, thump.
A powerful force surged into his body, Fleet Admiral Kong's face changed drastically, and he shot backward like a kite with a broken string.
Then...
With a bang, he slammed heavily onto the ground.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Everyone was stunned.
As a top-tier expert, Fleet Admiral Kong's casual punch was not something ordinary people could resist.
But the person in front of them actually sent Fleet Admiral Kong flying with a casual punch?
This... "Paramecia-type Momo-Momo Fruit."
Fleet Admiral Kong flashed forward again.
"At least you have some insight."
Gerd snorted lightly and picked up her hellflame axe.
"Captain, I won't bother you guys anymore. I'll find a place to finish off this old geezer."
"Go ahead."
Reno smiled and nodded.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, if you have the guts, follow me!"
Gerd provocatively glanced at him, then quickly left to find a new battlefield.
"As if I'm afraid of you!!"
Fleet Admiral Kong snorted coldly and followed closely.
He had only underestimated her earlier; he wasn't truly no match for Gerd.
Hmm.
It must be so.
Boom, boom, boom!
Soon, their battle officially began.
After Gerd, another tall figure stepped out.
The head of the Three Disasters, King the Conflagration.
"I heard the Marine recently promoted a new Admiral. That must be you, right?"
His gaze fixed on Fujitora.
At the same time, King slowly removed the oni mask from his head.
"Lunarian Tribe?"
"You're actually a Lunarian Tribe member!!"
As expected, his identity caused a stir among the crowd.
"Haven't you all been looking for me?"
"Today, I'll give you that chance!"
King drew his long sword and pointed it at Fujitora Issho from a distance.
"It seems today, this old man has met a worthy opponent."
