Chapter 6 First Actual Combat

What is naval justice? Is it based on slaughter?

Arthur was most impressed by Sakaski's actions before his eyes.

This guy, without any emotions, seemed to have only a mission in his mind, and he indiscriminately bombed another island in the distance that was attacked by pirates.

The warship Arthur was on was suddenly blown into the air by the storm.

Dragon jumped out of the warship, floated in the air and flew towards Apollo on the island, and ordered:

"Crow, I will allow you to safely break through the defenses and land. You will lead the soldiers to defeat and arrest all the pirates on the island."

He planned to face Apollo alone to buy everyone time to suppress the pirates on the island.

"Understood!" After receiving the order, Major Crow ordered all 800 soldiers to gather on the deck.

The warship flew to the center of the town on the island and landed smoothly under the control of Dorag.

"Quick, quick, quick! Divide into eight teams and occupy each garrison point in the town!"

"For justice, defeat the pirates!"

Arthur, fully armed and holding a gun, also jumped off the warship and landed.

Standing in the center of the town and looking around, he found many pirates plundering and robbing with impunity, seizing beauties, and coercing them.

During the war, women also became commodities and were frantically snatched by pirates.

"Arthur! Arthur!" Major Crow saw Arthur in a daze, came to him and shouted at him.

As soon as Arthur stepped into the battlefield, he began to experience tinnitus and anxiety.

It was his first time on the battlefield and he didn't know what it felt like.

It’s like I feel… fear—!

It was like the first time I came to this world. I stepped into the forest of Rapeseed Village in the East China Sea to survive, and faced the fear of those powerful beasts in search of food.

The navy on the island was almost completely defeated. If they had arrived any later, they would have been occupied.

Cooper, a bird of prey, followed Arthur and kept watch on the surroundings.

Seeing that Arthur did not respond, the major Crow used his power to create crows to pin him to the ground, and then ordered the other soldiers:

"Eight squads, listen up! Expel and arrest the pirates who are committing such rampant acts against civilians on this island at all costs!"

"If a colonel dies in battle, the lieutenant will take his place! If a lieutenant dies in battle, the sergeant will take his place! Do you understand?!"

"Understood! Major Crow!" All the sailors who went to various blocks to fight responded in unison.

"Protect civilians at all costs. We are not those guys on the Sakaski ship!" Major Crow gave an inspiring order.

At this moment, all the soldiers at the headquarters of the Dorag warship felt that they were fighting for their responsibilities, fighting to protect others, and fighting to safeguard the justice behind them.

Everyone quickly went to their own battle front and began a fierce battle with the pirates.

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses from his fear and quickly became firm with his innate ability to adapt to the environment.

"Ha~" Arthur took a deep breath, his eyes dazzled, and quickly adapted to the environment of gunfire and bullets.

Seeing Arthur recover, Major Crow dragged him to a nearby naval base that was engulfed in flames: "Arthur, you come with me to the naval base for support, while the rest of us clean up the pirates in the town!"

"Cooper, you're with me." Arthur's fear of guns was still vivid.

Even after a full decade of training in the One Piece world, he didn't think his body could withstand a few bullets.

He protected Cooper and followed Major Crow, running straight to the destroyed naval base on the island.

"Cooper!" Cooper jumped left and right on the ground with his eagle claws and ran behind Arthur.

They rely on their naturally keen hearing and vision as eagles to keep an eye on their surroundings and prevent any sudden sneak attacks from humans.

"..." Crow noticed Cooper's strangeness, his eyes were immediately bloodshot, veins popped out on his forehead, and he said, "I already said I don't like chickens!"

Arthur lowered his head and followed Major Crow as he ran through the streets of the naval base: "He's the Eagle, Major Crow!"

Upon hearing this, Cooper's eagle face suddenly turned dark. Ignoring Arthur's reminder, he spread his wings and flew high into the dark sky, overlooking the entire island solemnly.

When Major Crow saw it fly away, he pointed at Cooper and said, "That's the eagle."

……

Lionheart Island Naval Base.

Several strong pirates exuding a domineering aura carried the blood-soaked captain in the flames and laughed:

"What's wrong with the navy of this era? You don't know Haki, and you don't know the Marine Six Styles. You've been in a peaceful environment for too long, and you've all become rusty!"

"Hahahaha~!"

The commander of the naval base on Lionheart Island gritted his teeth, unwilling to give in, but he had already tried his best to resist them.

Almost all the soldiers guarding the island were killed in the battle.

He felt sorry for his subordinates and smiled at the pirates: "Although we are not the elites of our headquarters, the world will remember us as righteous people who stubbornly resisted the evil pirates!"

After the pirates killed the base commander, they were attracted by the blazing red lotus fist in the sea outside the island.

Sakaski's moves gradually changed from a huge magma fist to a red hellhound, falling from the sky onto an island near Lionheart Island.

“What is that…! Magma Boy’s ability? It seems to have been further developed.” The man named Lake said while looking at the sky outside the island.

The volcanic ash even drifted from the sky to Lionheart Island, which was enough to show how terrifying Sakaski's ability was.

"Haha, the new generation of monsters of the navy is here...you are doomed." Even though the base commander was seriously injured, he still challenged the pirates with a smile.

Bulu Bulu - the Den Den Mushi on Lake's body rang. He threw away the captain of the naval base who was dead with a pierced chest in his hand and immediately took out his hand to answer the call.

Den Den Mushi imitated Apollo's voice and expression, and said:

"Lake! The three natural monsters from the Navy Headquarters are here to support us. Garp's son's warship has broken through to the island where we are. I want you to kill them all!"

There was a sound of fierce fighting coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. It was Dragon who was fighting Apollo with all his might.

"Support from the Navy Headquarters... I understand, Captain Apollo." The man named Lake agreed immediately.

When I heard that the support came from the Navy Headquarters, I was still a little apprehensive.

Ever since Zephyr retired from his admiral position, he has become a full-time chief instructor for the Navy organization, and the soldiers he has trained at the Navy Headquarters are all powerful guys.

They should not be confused with the soldiers at the naval base outside the island.

He was shirtless, with a dominant muscular body and as many battle scars as Apollo.

From the outside, he is a very powerful guy, with pure flesh and a ferocious face, as if he has been infected with many lives.

"Garp's son? The guy who created a hurricane in the sea and made us suffer."

"Vice Captain Lake, two marines are coming here. It seems to be that violent lunatic Crow!"

A pirate standing on the observation deck behind the gate of the naval base spotted Arthur and Crow running towards him.

"Is it Garp's son?" Lake walked to the gate of the naval base and asked his men on the observation deck.

"No...it's his adjutant, Crow! Garp's son must be fighting with Captain Apollo. There is an intense fighting sound over there on the shore of Lionheart Island." The pirate in the lookout said, and suddenly heard an eagle circling in the sky.

"Cooper~!" Cooper was spinning in the air, making a sharp "Cooper" sound from his mouth, as if he was planning to lock onto a target.

"What is that? There's a battle going on on this island. How dare animals hover around the island?" He looked at Cooper spinning in the air through a telescope, thinking with a puzzled look on his face.

Once the human war begins, neither birds nor animals on the ground dare to get close.

This made him feel something was wrong.

In an instant, the pirate blinked, and Cooper, which was hovering in the air, swooped down on him at an extremely fast speed.

The pirate also reached for the pistol hanging on his waist... but found that the opponent was extremely fast and it was too late.

Below the lookout, Lake was about to reach out and push open the gate of the base to go fight.

With a loud bang, the steel gate several meters high in front of him was instantly blasted with a dent and rushed towards him quickly. Lake quickly moved to the side to avoid it.

Watching the big iron gate fly towards the building inside the naval base and smash a big hole, Lake was shocked by this power.

"Crow doesn't have this kind of power, and he hardly knows how to fight with his fists..." Lake thought to himself, and saw two figures walking out of the smoke and dust in front of the gate.

Arthur clenched his fists, his heart beating faster and faster as he walked into the pirate's field of vision vigilantly.

"Ahem... This way of making an appearance is too violent, Arthur!" Crow appeared from behind him, beads of sweat sliding down his forehead brimming with blue veins, and he was once again shocked by Arthur's extraordinary strength.

Major Crow stood in the square of the naval base and looked around. He soon found the body of the base commander covered in blood.

"We are late..."

Suddenly, a pirate's scream came from the lookout: "Ah——!"

The pirate on the lookout tower was hit by Cooper's claw like a cannonball and flew into the base square, creating a big hole.

Cooper spread his wings in protest, stood on the top of the observation tower and shouted angrily: "Cooper!" (I am not a chicken!)

Lake glanced back at his men who were flying down: "What happened? Were you kicked down by a chicken?"

"Vice-captain... I... cough cough, that eagle is not an ordinary eagle..." The pirate who was knocked away by Cooper lifted up the burning clothes on his chest and found that there were six blood holes piercing through his chest, and two eagle claw prints.

Soon he lay motionless on the uneven ground.

"Cooper!" Hearing this, Cooper, who could no longer bear it, shouted again and swooped down at him from the observation deck.

He wanted to tear all these humans who cursed him into pieces.

"Beast... Who do you think I am?" When Lake saw Cooper flying towards him quickly, his eyes were bloodshot and his aura changed drastically in an instant.

Cooper, whose brain was filled with rage, ignored him and rushed to him and kicked him with his claws.

After training with Arthur for so many years, it has yet to meet a human who can defeat it.

A thick murderous aura filled the entire naval base. Arthur sensed the aura of the man in front of Cooper and ran towards him at the same time, shouting anxiously:

"Come back, that guy is not someone you can handle."

He and the man named Lake were more than ten meters apart, and Arthur had no way of getting close before Cooper kicked him.

I couldn't keep up with the speed and it was too late to stop it.

Based on his many years of experience and observation in hunting in the mountains, the burly man in front of him named Lake was a very terrifying beast.

"It's been a while since I've seen such an impulsive newcomer." The crow turned into coal ash and rushed towards Lake at an extremely fast speed, directly piercing through his body and the surrounding pirates.

The coal ash formed solid black giant swords on the ground, rising quickly from the ground and piercing the bodies of the pirates.

The men around Lake were dealt with by Major Crow in an instant.

Only Lake himself, at the moment the giant swords rose, used his fists to break the coal-ash giant swords into their original form to block them, and took the move as if nothing had happened.

Cooper's Eagle Claw, which was kicked at Lake with all his strength, was intercepted and hit a huge black coal-gray sword.
