Capítulo 264: Amazon Lily Island Under Attack
Koby, a young man with bright red hair and a cross-shaped scar above his right eye, stood on the bow of a ship. He was wearing a standard Marine uniform with a justice cloak draped over his shoulders. His hands were crossed over his chest, giving him an air of authority.
Normally, a Master Chief Petty Officer wouldn't lead an armada of warships, but Koby was a special case. He was not only a personal student of the Marine Hero Garp, but he also received the title of Hero for his actions during the Rocky Port Incident.
These factors allowed Koby to lead the operation to capture Boa Hancock. Of course, there were also several Rear Admirals involved to minimize potential mistakes. Akainu wouldn't completely entrust this operation to a mere Master Chief Petty Officer. If it weren't for giving Garp face, he wouldn't let Koby take command.
"Captain Koby, we'll be arriving soon. Should we prepare to launch Buster Call?"
A Marine officer approached, saluted, and reported.
"We won't be using Buster Call. I don't allow it. Not everyone on Amazon Lily Island is a pirate. We shouldn't harm civilians."
Despite being given the authority to directly mobilize Buster Call, Koby refused to use it. Buster Call is the Marines' strongest military action, only used in special circumstances and can only be called by Admirals, Fleet Admirals, or those directly authorized by them.
"Anyway, as long as we capture Boa Hancock, our mission is complete. There's no need to hurt innocent people. Remember, the Marines' duty is to protect civilians!"
"Understood, Captain Koby!"
The Marine officer's respect for Koby deepened.
"Tell the others, just because the Kuja Tribe is composed of women, don't underestimate them. From what I've heard, the Kuja Tribe is very skilled in using arrows infused with Busoshoku Haki. You shouldn't underestimate them just because they are women."
"Yes! I will convey Captain Koby's words."
After saluting, the Marine officer immediately spread the message. However, most of the Marines didn't pay attention.
There was no other choice. The idea that men are stronger than women was deeply ingrained in their minds, and it was difficult to change this mindset in a short time.
Considering the number of Marines and dozens of warships deployed in this operation to capture Boa Hancock, they didn't think they would fail.
Compared to the dismissive attitude of the lower-ranking Marines, Koby and the Rear Admirals knew that in the face of a powerhouse, human cannon fodder was just a number.
After the Shichibukai system was abolished, Boa Hancock had a bounty of 1,659,000,000 Belly, which proved her strength.
While bounty isn't an absolute indicator of someone's strength, the higher the bounty, the stronger the person must be.
To confront Boa Hancock, the Marines had a hidden card.
"We have arrived at Amazon Lily Island."
Dozens of warships aimed their cannons at Amazon Lily.
"Boa Hancock, you are under arrest. Surrender and don't resist."
Taking a loudspeaker, Koby tried a peaceful approach. If possible, he didn't want a fight.
*WHOOSH*
In the next moment, countless arrows shot from Amazon Lily and rained down on dozens of warships.
Don't underestimate the arrows fired by the Kuja warrior. Each arrow has greater destructive power than ordinary arrows due to the reinforcement of Busoshoku Haki.
The first wave of arrow fire injured many unsuspecting Marines and damaged parts of the ships.
"We are under attack! The Kuja Tribe is fighting back!"
"Captain Koby, give the order to attack!"
Seeing this, Koby sighed in disappointment but had expected this outcome. He was just trying.
"Cannon fire! We land on the island and break through to the palace!"
At his command, the warships began firing cannons.
*WHOOSH* *WHOOSH* *WHOOSH*
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Dozens of cannonballs flew through the air towards the island. Some were destroyed in mid-air by the Kuja archers, but the number was too great, and some landed on the ground.
Thus, the Kuja Tribe protecting their homeland against the Marine invasion officially began.
No matter how strong the Kuja warriors were, they were outnumbered. In the end, the Marines managed to set foot on Amazon Lily.
The fighting between both sides continued, forcing the Kuja warriors to retreat continuously to the fortress.
A Rear Admiral began to grow impatient with the slow progress of the Marines, so he gave the order to end this operation quickly.
"Deploy the new Pacifistas! Put the Seraphim on the front lines."
"Still not brave enough to face us, Boa Hancock?"
Soon, the Kuja Tribe was overwhelmed when a small, tan-skinned girl with long white hair and black flames and wings on her back joined the battle.
Besides the little girl, there was also a boy with the same features of flames and black wings on his back, identical to the little girl.
The little girl fired light cannons from her palms, destroying anything in front of her. Meanwhile, the boy held a sword, and every swing of his sword produced sword energy that could cut through anything.
The combo of the two children was incredibly powerful, and the tide of victory began to shift towards the Marines.
In a short time, many Kuja warriors were severely injured and unable to continue fighting.
"Who are those?! I don't want to attack children!" Marguerite said reluctantly.
"Their power is so overwhelming...! And... Isn't she...!?"
Boa Marigold's eyes widened as she saw the face of the little girl who was easily destroying the fortress.
On the other side.
Not all Marines participated in the attack. Some were tasked with guarding the ships.
"Warships spotted! Watch the stern!"
"HUH?"
"What-?"
"Attention from the shore! Pirates are approaching!"
"!?"
"Yonko crew!!! Kurohige Pirates!"
"AHH!"
"Seaquake!"
The Marines were in chaos due to the unexpected arrival of the Kurohige Pirates.
Just one casual attack by Kurohige with the power of the Gura Gura no Mi caused the sea to churn and nearly capsized the warships.
"ZEHAHAHAHA! The Sea Kings will know our presence!"
"ZEHAHA! I've come for the Pirate Empress!"
"I won't let a power like hers fall into the Marines' hands!"
Kurohige landed on Amazon Lily accompanied by Vasco Shot and Catarina Devon.
Their presence alone made the Marines present tremble in fear.
