Chapter 437 The War Begins Again

It was right above a certain sea area on the Grand Line that Doflamingo had been dreaming of.

Dark clouds rolled and lightning flashed in the sky, reflecting the huge fleet of warships on the sea below.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and a murderous atmosphere, and the shadow of war hung over this once-fearsome sea.

Countless warships densely covered the sea, and each ship was filled with fully armed navy men. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.

In the center of this mighty fleet, the most eye-catching thing is a huge flagship with the emblem of the Five Elder Stars flying on it.

The person standing on the deck was none other than Shepard ten Peter Saint, one of the Five Elder Stars.

He had a tall and straight figure, wearing a solemn black cloak, and the huge sword behind him shone with a cold light.

Shepard's eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning the front coldly.

His expression was solemn and determined, staring unwaveringly at their target - the Blackbeard Pirates.

"It's finally time to settle the accounts."

Shepard ten Peters' voice was low and emotionless, as if this war was just a ritual that should have been carried out long ago.

He raised his hand and waved it gently, and the Knights of God behind him immediately moved forward in unison.

Each member of the Knights of God is clad in shining armor and exudes a powerful, sacred aura, like an indomitable torrent of steel.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Blackbeard Pirates' huge battleship slowly floated on the sea, like a giant beast quietly lurking in the darkness.

Blackbeard Teach stood at the bow, his strong arms folded across his chest, with his signature grin on his face.

His laughter echoed on the sea, as if mocking the arrangement of fate.

Blackbeard was not afraid at all. Instead, he was full of anticipation for the coming war.

"Hahaha! They're finally here. I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

Blackbeard's laughter was like thunder. The grim smile on his face grew wider and wider, and his eyes flashed with madness. "The Five Elders? The Navy? The Knights of God? They are all just prey that I want to devour!"

The sea breeze blew past, lifting Teach's black cloak. He grabbed a bottle of wine and drank it in big gulps, as if the upcoming life-and-death struggle was just an ordinary enjoyment.

Standing beside him were several of his most trusted crew members, each with a bloodthirsty smile on their face, and they were ready for battle.

At the same time, artillery fire roared on the sea, and the fleets of the two forces began a fierce attack.

The sky was filled with smoke, and huge waves were splashed in all directions by the warships' gunfire, as if the sea itself was roaring.

One naval warship after another advanced forward, and Blackbeard's fleet fought back without showing any weakness.

Flames flashed across the battlefield and the battle was extremely fierce.

Shepard ten Peter Saint calmly commanded the fleet, his eyes fixed on Teach in the distance.

As one of the Five Elder Stars, the goal of his trip is clear, which is to wipe out the threat of Blackbeard from the world and put an end to this uncontrollable pirate once and for all.

He gave a brief and decisive order to the commander beside him: "Go forward and suppress them."

Following the order of Shepard ten Peter Saint, the navy's warships and the Knights' warriors launched an offensive together, and the entire battlefield instantly erupted into a more fierce confrontation.

Countless shells flew towards Blackbeard's fleet, but at Blackbeard's command, the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit suddenly burst out from him, swallowing up all the artillery fire like a black hole.

"Hahaha! My power can devour everything!"

Blackbeard opened his arms and laughed as loudly as a raging storm. As he laughed madly, he released the power of darkness, swallowing up all the attacks from the navy.

His crew members also activated their abilities. One of the pirates' body suddenly grew larger, becoming an unmatched giant on the battlefield. He pounced on the navy ship, causing huge waves.

Shepard ten Peter Saint's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Tikki in front of him, and said coldly: "Blackbeard... your doomsday has come."

The knights behind him charged forward with a roar and engaged in close combat with the strong men of the Blackbeard Pirates. The power of light and darkness of the Knights of God collided violently on the battlefield, and the entire battlefield instantly fell into chaos and killing.

Deep in the Grand Line, this unprecedented war broke out silently, and the outside world knew nothing about it.

The entire battlefield was blocked layer by layer, as secretive as if it was swallowed by darkness, and not a single piece of intelligence could escape from here.

Even Morganse, a big news company with a global intelligence network, encountered an unprecedented blockade in this incident. Even his usual methods were unable to detect any news of this war.

The artillery fire continued to roar, the warships were shaking violently in the waves, and the firepower of both sides was fighting to the death.

The confrontation between the Blackbeard Pirates and the Navy is like a clash between iron and fire, but all this is far away from people's sight.

On the sea, thick smoke billowed and the air was filled with gunpowder, as if the entire sky had been dyed black by the war.

Blackbeard had a grim smile on his face as he looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds, knowing full well that this was a war without spectators.

But this did not make him feel uneasy at all, but made him even more excited.

"Hahaha! This is really interesting!"

His laughter was particularly harsh in the firelight, and the madness and ambition in his eyes seemed to merge with the sky.

At the same time, Shepard ten Peter stood on the command deck of the battleship, his eyes as cold as an eagle, quietly watching the Blackbeard fleet in the distance.

His face was calm, without a trace of anxiety, as if everything was under his control.

This war is destined to be forgotten by the world, or it may never have existed.

On the sea, the warriors of God's Knights and Blackbeard Pirates were engaged in close combat, with blood and fire intertwined on every inch of the deck.

No one backed down. Both sides knew that this war would determine the fate of too many people. It might be the turning point for Blackbeard to control the world situation, or it might be the key for the World Government to regain control of the balance.

But outside the battlefield, everything was calm.

Although Morgans' intelligence agency tried hard to find out, they found nothing. His angry roar echoed in the newspaper office, and his wings slapped the table fiercely: "Damn it! How is it possible that there is no news at all?"

Morgans's anger stemmed from his inability to understand - he was always the first to get information about every war that shook the world, but this time, there was total silence.

And in this silent storm, only the two sides on the battlefield knew all this.
